Beauty and the Bodyguard

Shu Is Dying

“Yeah.” Tangyin nodded. “I’m fine. Lin Yi said that he wanted to check you out.”

“Okay, okay!” Jucheng nodded happily. “What should I do?”

“Uncle Tang, you don’t have to do anything. Just lie down and relax.” Lin Yi waved his hand to stop Jucheng from moving. He strolled towards him to check his injury.

Jucheng’s legs would recover in no time with the aid of eastern medicine but the problem was the nerves. Even if both of his legs fully recovered, he wouldn’t be able to walk like a healthy person. The limping problem was still going to be there.

Lin Yi furrowed his eyebrows. This wasn’t an auspicious sign! Even if he was able to stand up and start practicing to walk, his limping was going to affect the recovery of his legs.

If he continued to limp around too much, both of his legs wouldn’t recover at the same pace, resulting in a leg that was longer than the other. Hence, even if his nerve problem cured, his legs would inevitably go lame.

“What’s wrong, Lin Yi?” Tang Yin was observing Lin Yi’s expression the whole time so when she spotted Lin Yi furrowing his eyebrows, she knew that something was wrong.

“It’s a bit troublesome.” Lin Yi did not hide the fact. He explained everything to them. There was no need to hide the facts from Jucheng, after all.

“Then, what should we do?” Tang Yin panicked.

However, Jucheng and Mrs. Tang weren’t so anxious about it, Jucheng even smiled. “It’s okay. I don’t mind walking with a limp. It’s better than lying on the bed doing nothing, don’t you agree?”

To be honest, Jucheng had been lying on the bed for such a long period now that given a chance to stand, he would naturally take it and not care about the limp, right?

On the other hand, Mrs. Tang had almost the same thought as well. She didn’t abandon him when he was paralyzed. Why would she do it now when he only had a limp?

“Initially, I’ve planned to return to my hometown to get the medicine that would be effective for your nerve problem after the finals but it seems like we are running out of time.” Lin Yi continued. “But never mind. I’ll get someone to send it here.”

“That doesn’t sound like a good idea…” Jucheng flinched. Lin Yi was being so kind to him; he even wanted people to send the medicine over just for him.

“Haha, it’s okay.” Lin Yi was thinking of Er Goulan, his childhood friend. It’d been a long time since they met. He thought that he would probably be free to run this errand since it wasn’t the autumn harvest yet.

“Dad, since Lin Yi has decided, just listen to him.” Tangyin saw her father about to say something so she spoke before her dad.

Naturally, Tangyin wouldn’t wish to see her dad have a limp. Even if she would be indebted to Lin Yi again, she didn’t mind at all since she had already owed Lin Yi ton of favors. Adding another one didn’t really matter. Tangyin had opened up her mind after the misunderstanding.

She found that repaying Lin Yi with her body was really a good choice. Since she had decided to follow Lin Yi for the rest of her life, if he was going to do anything with her body, she would gladly accept it. Tangyini flushed at that thought.

“Ya, old Tang. Just accept his kindness and stop arguing!” Mrs. Tang didn’t really mind her husband’s limping but she also wished that her husband could walk like normal people.

Lin Yi took out his phone and when he was about to call Goulan, his phone started ringing. The incoming call was from Mengyao.

Yushu was lying on the sofa like a statue after the meal. She felt slightly uncomfortable in the beginning with her food baby but the intensity was getting unbearable after a while.

“Yaoyao sis, my stomach doesn’t feel good! Why is it so big. Am I pregnant? I’m disgusted with myself!” Yushu laid on the sofa and murmured.

“… why would you get pregnant just by eating? Don’t be silly!” Mengyao was watching the TV and heard Yushu calling. She turned off the TV and walked towards her.

“Yaoyao sis, you were pregnant because of the drink. Why can’t I get pregnant because of the food? The food might contain Shield bro’s saliva after all…..” Yushu blanched.

“Okay, stop fooling around.” Mengyao was reminded of the past. She couldn’t help but felt embarrassed. “You’ve eaten too much. Do you want to go to the washroom?”

“I haven’t digested yet. Why should I go…..arghh pain….pain…..” Yushu moaned in pain.

“Wait for a minute. I’ll get some digestive pills for you….” Mengyao regretted her actions. She shouldn’t have acted on her impulse and harm Shu in this state.

She didn’t know if someone could really die from eating too much but since there was the phrase “Full to the point of bursting”, she thought that people could really die after eating so much. Mengyao even panicked after thinking about it and went to get the pills quickly.

“I don’t want it. I’m too stuffed to eat that. My stomach will burst….” Yushu said.

“Then what should we do?” Mengyao was clueless.

“I’m about to die…. I’m about to die again….. I don’t want to die!” Yushu was feeling unlucky. She had just escaped from death two days ago and here, the death was coming again. “Yaoyao sis, why do you want me to die? I wasn’t even trying to steal Shield bro away from you. I’ve even promised to be the second wife. Why do you want to eliminate meeeeeee…?

“I….. Why would I want you to die?” Mengyao didn’t know if she should be laughing or crying at Yushu: “I’m not even in love with Lin Yi. There’s nothing for you to steal. I didn’t want him to bring food for Tangyin; that’s why I forced you to finish it…. Right, Lin Yi, Just rest for a while. I’ll get Lin Yi here!”

Mengyao was reminded by Yushu’s words. How could she forget Lin Yi? Knowing that guy, he must have a way to save Yushu.

Lin Yi picked up the phone and she heard the frightened voice on the other side: “Lin Yi, where are you right now? Get back home as fast as possible. Shu has reached her limits!”

“Eh? What did you say? Lin Yi was taken back. Shu was at her limits? What did she mean?

“Shu has stuffed too much food, so she’s full to the point of bursting. And now, she’s about to die. Come faster!” Mengyao was anxious.

“…..Okay, I’ll get back home now.” Lin Yi was speechless as he ended the call. Full to the point of busting? Then, why did you eat so much and even finish Tang Yin’s portion? Lin Yi thought to himself.

“What happened?” Tang Yin couldn’t hear the whole conversation but she heard that Lin Yi was going back home right now. She couldn’t hold back to ask: “Are you leaving now?”
