Chapter 438: 438 My heart is pierced~

Qin Suqing came back to her senses and walked over, placing the apple on the table.

She glanced at Lin Tang, who was sleeping with a flushed face, and whispered softly, "I just came to bring an apple; I won’t disturb you any longer, goodbye."

No sooner had her final word dropped than she left.

Gu Yingzhou indifferently withdrew his gaze, focusing it on Lin Tang.

The young girl was sleeping so soundly that beads of sweat formed on her forehead. He went to the bathroom to dampen a towel to wipe her face and neck, tearing off a piece of cool-feeling patch and sticking it to the area just below her ear near her neck.

As if she were soothed by the comfort, Lin Tang’s expression instantly relaxed, and she slept even more soundly.

After completing this series of actions, Gu Yingzhou picked up the fan and continued to fan her.

Lin Tang slept extremely comfortably during this nap.

When she awoke again, the sky had already darkened, and it was pitch black outside.

Lin Tang opened her eyes and lay in bed still a bit groggy.

Her gaze was dim, and she appeared both soft and adorable.

Gu Yingzhou had never seen her like this before, and his heart felt pierced.

So cute in his mind!

"...You’re awake," he said with a smile.

Lin Tang blinked her eyes, slowly regaining her spirit.

Seeing that Gu Yingzhou was still fanning her, and recalling how exceptionally comfortable her nap had been, she asked with some disbelief, "You haven’t been fanning me this whole time, have you?"

As she spoke, she knelt up and started massaging Gu Yingzhou’s arm.

While massaging, she asked, "Does your arm feel sore?"

Lin Tang was strong, and her kneading hit all the right acupoints; it was wonderfully painful.

After massaging just briefly, Gu Yingzhou pulled her hand away.

"It’s not sore. How did you sleep? Are you still tired?" he asked.

Lin Tang chided with a laugh, "How could I still be tired? But what about you? I took over your bed, and you didn’t rest at all. Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

She had intended to just take a short nap; how embarrassing...

Gu Yingzhou shook his head, "I don’t have the habit of taking a siesta, I’m not a bit tired."

Seeing that it was getting late, he brought up dinner, "It’s time to eat, what would you like?"

Having just woken up, Lin Tang had no appetite.

She shook her head and got up from the bed, "I don’t want to eat yet, I’m going to wash up first."

"Go ahead, be careful," Gu Yingzhou said.

Lin Tang responded and headed for the bathroom.

There were only so many restrooms on the train, and they were never unoccupied.

After waiting for quite a while, Lin Tang held her breath as she entered the restroom, then came out quickly.

She hadn’t taken many steps before an old lady dressed in tattered clothes hurried toward her.

Her pace was as eager as an elderly person vying for a seat on the subway.

Lin Tang quickly stepped aside to avoid her.

She was certain she hadn’t bumped into the old lady, but who knew...

"Aiyo, my waist, my legs, it hurts so much! Young girl, what’s wrong with you? You’ve hurt this old lady...

Aiyo, it hurts, I think my waist is broken, you need to compensate, or else don’t think about leaving..."

The old lady made a scene, lying on the ground refusing to get up.

Lin Tang: "...Did I just encounter a scam artist?!"

The two had ’collided’ at the junction between train cars, just when there weren’t many people around. The moment the old lady cried out, onlookers gathered to enjoy the drama.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Tang slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a small packet of fake blood from the System Space.

Making a decision on the spot, she smeared it onto her forehead, with the rest dabbed somewhere in the carriage.

Then, she tousled her hair on her forehead.

She executed the whole operation smoothly, like a well-oiled machine.

With her hand covering her forehead, ’blood’ seeping through her fingers, the sight was frightening.

The onlooking crowd came over and saw a young girl with blood seeping from her head, which startled them.

"...The young girl is bleeding!" someone exclaimed.

"What happened here? Why is there so much blood?" a down-to-earth lady quickly took out some tissues and handed them to Lin Tang.

Lin Tang felt somewhat embarrassed by this genuine kindness, her forehead feeling hot.

She mentally apologized to the kindhearted lady.

She had to counter the scam artist, with no choice but to scam back.

The lady probably thought Lin Tang was shocked silly, waving her hand in front of Lin Tang’s face, "Comrade, are you alright?"

Such a beautiful young girl, she couldn’t have been knocked silly, could she?

The lady’s eyes were filled with pity.

Lin Tang snapped back to her senses, shaking her head, "...Thank you, madam, I’m fine."

The considerate lady quickly steadied Lin Tang’s head, advising, "Don’t move, your head is broken and can’t be shaken; the bleeding will worsen, what should we do then?"

Another comrade, with an experienced look, chimed in, "Bleeding alone can make you dizzy, and you’ll feel even worse if you shake your head, causing the blood to flow faster."

Lin Tang: Can I say there’s not a single injury on my head?

People around were concerned for Lin Tang, and with no audience for her performance, the old lady on the ground couldn’t continue her act, making the scene momentarily awkward.

Still, someone keen on meddling forcefully brought the attention back,

"Comrade, what happened here?"

Glancing at the old lady on the ground, he speculated, "Did you collide with this elderly comrade?"

The old lady on the ground quickly shifted her eyes and resumed wailing,

"It hurts, it hurts so much, my waist is broken, how can I go out now!

My child, I’ve failed you, I promised to take good care of you, and with these injuries, I’m afraid I can’t do it now, my life is so hard!

I’ve never been out in my entire life, and the one time I do, I’m injured like this..."

The old lady cried and whined, swiftly swaying public sentiment back to her side.

A man, fancying himself a champion of justice, looked at Lin Tang and said sternly,

"Young comrade, I see you’re well-off, and the old lady seems to be struggling. Why don’t you compensate her a little?"

The previously enthusiastic lady felt the man’s words were outrageous; staring in disbelief,

"Where are you coming from saying that? Why? This young comrade even hurt her head in the collision. Why don’t you suggest the old lady compensate her for medical expenses instead?"

Those who feel entitled to the wellness of others are the most annoying.

The man frowned, finding the woman utterly irrational.

Annoyed, he retorted, "Given the old lady’s tattered clothes, you even ask about compensation; have you no sympathy?

Besides, this young comrade clearly doesn’t lack money; what’s wrong with stepping back a bit? Shouldn’t we respect our elders and love our youth?"

Women are really petty, not a good one among them.

The passionate lady, rarely angered by a stranger, pulled a face and said,

"Not lacking money doesn’t mean one should be taken advantage of!

I see you’re pretty well-to-do yourself; why don’t you give your money to beggars on the streets?

Using someone else’s money to earn yourself some face, you’re pretty good at that!

You look respectable enough, but you never do the right thing."

The man felt his wallet threatened and his face changed.

Muttering, "What’s it got to do with me?" he turned and slipped away back to his seat.

The enthusiastic lady, having won the argument, felt as triumphant as a victorious rooster, unspeakably pleased with herself.

Lin Tang gave her a mental thumbs up.

Impressive, another day admiring someone with such a sharp tongue.

Seeing her defender gone, the old lady on the ground realized she couldn’t carry on her act, and the scene became awkward once again.
