Chapter 84: Chapter 63 Repaying Gratitude

Shu Wan gritted her teeth and tied both herself and the person she was pulling with her left hand to the rope, to prevent them from losing their grip and falling during the ascent.

After securing the rope, Shu Wan tugged on one end, "All right, you can pull me up now."

Fu Yang threw the other end of the rope up top, "Tighten it up, if you fall, it’s all over for you."

Fu Yang’s voice carried a chill, causing everyone to shiver and they quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes."

With the rope tied around them and so many people above helping to pull, Shu Wan and the person she had rescued were quickly hauled up the cliff.

But after supporting the weight for so long down below, Shu Wan passed out from exhaustion as soon as she made it to the top.

When she came to again, she was already in the hospital.

And it was a familiar ward at that, even the TV and game console beside her bed hadn’t changed.

The only difference was the patient and the visitor had switched places.

"I think you must have a problem with your brain and your eyes." Seeing Shu Wan wake up, Fu Yang came over, looking disdainful, "That man obviously wasn’t me. Is he as tall as me? Is he as handsome? And you dared to jump down there."

"I don’t know about handsome, but he must be half a head taller than you," Shu Wan mercilessly poked a hole in Fu Yang’s pride.

"....." Fu Yang’s eyes widened, "Shu Wan, are you trying to pick a fight with me on purpose?"

Shu Wan’s shoulder was a bit uncomfortable, so she leaned back slightly, her expression calm, "Just telling it like it is."

"Tsk, I said you had a problem with your eyes and you didn’t believe me," Fu Yang snorted lightly, "Don’t believe me? Wait until I call that guy over for a comparison, he’s definitely shorter than me."

No sooner had Fu Yang finished speaking than there was a knock on the ward door.

"Come in," Shu Wan said.

The door opened, and in walked a man whose handsomeness couldn’t be obscured even by the blue and white hospital garb.

"Hello, I’m Xiao Lin." The man came to the bedside, smiled at Shu Wan, "Thank you for saving me."

Shu Wan nodded slightly, "You’re welcome."

Then, Shu Wan looked meaningfully at Fu Yang, her eyebrows raised ever so slightly, and Fu Yang immediately understood her implication.

He stared at Xiao Lin’s shoes for a long while and finally had to admit that the man was indeed taller.

No, that’s not right, Fu Yang suddenly thought of something, he looked at Xiao Lin, "How old are you?"

Though the question was quite odd, the well-mannered Xiao Lin still politely answered, "I’m 19 this year."

Fu Yang’s mood instantly lifted, 19, huh? Definitely not growing any taller, he thought. In another two years, he would surely surpass Xiao Lin. It wasn’t clear yet who would win or lose.

Xiao Lin wasn’t sure why the silver-haired young man had suddenly asked a strange question or why his expression was so peculiar. He looked at Shu Wan, "May I have a way to contact you? You saved me, I want to thank you."

Shu Wan took out her phone, "Sure."

But just as she unlocked it, Fu Yang reached out and took her phone away, "Just add me on WeChat. Little Mother is not in good health, any inquiries can be directed to me."

Fu Yang emphasized the words "Little Mother" particularly.

Xiao Lin’s expression paused for a moment, "Little Mother?"

"Right," Fu Yang stood at the bedside, blocking Xiao Lin’s line of sight to Shu Wan, "This is my dad’s newly married Little Mother."

A flicker of loss crossed Xiao Lin’s eyes, "I see, miss, you’re so young I thought you were just a student."

In fact, from his discernment, Xiao Lin thought Shu Wan, with her clean and pure aura, resembled a college student. He would have never guessed she was married.

"Even if she were a student, you shouldn’t just add someone on WeChat," Fu Yang, though young, noticed the intense gaze Xiao Lin had when looking at Shu Wan, "There’s a difference between men and women. If you want to express gratitude, just ask the housekeeper outside. No need to see yourself out."

Fu Yang’s words were a clear dismissal, and it would have been awkward for Xiao Lin to continue standing there.

He glanced involuntarily at Shu Wan, but Fu Yang defensively moved a step, blocking his view again.

With a somewhat helpless shake of his head, Xiao Lin said, "Then I’ll take my leave, get some rest."

After Xiao Lin left the ward, Fu Yang turned around and tossed the phone back to Shu Wan, "You, woman, can’t you hold on to your decency? If I hadn’t been here today, were you planning to add him?"

Shu Wan retrieved her phone, "In this new era, you keep talking about decency as if you live a thousand years in the past."

"I’m just worried about you losing the face of the Fu Family," Fu Yang huffed.

Although Shu Wan was fairly well, having sat on an airplane for so long and getting violently hit on the cliffside, she now lacked the energy to argue with Fu Yang.
