Zhang Hui gritted her teeth and spoke with conviction. However, everyone present could tell that although she was speaking to Shen Teng on the surface, she was actually speaking to herself.
Shen Teng was neither angry nor annoyed. “I didn’t want to make things too ugly at first, but since you insist on arguing about right and wrong, 1 can only say it out loud. I don’t love you, but you’ve never been sincere to me for a moment. We were just each taking what we needed. Now that our relationship is over, you can leave.”
After saying that, Shen Teng nodded at Du Yue. Although he did not say anything, Du Yue already understood what he meant. He was asking her to open the gate. However… He Xing was the one who closed the gate, so she did not know how to open it! He Xing also understood what he meant and took the initiative to say, “Can you stand on your own? I’ll open the gate.”
“You go ahead. You can let me be.” When He Xing heard this, he let go of Shen Teng’s hand and quickly walked toward the gate. The courtyard was pitch-black, and only a faint light from the tent illuminated the small area at the entrance.
There was a distance between the gate and the tent. No one could see how He Xing operated it after he walked over. All they knew was that He Xing fiddled with it for less than a minute before the gate opened.
When Shen Teng heard the gate open, he said to Zhang Hui, “Take your mother and leave my house.”
Zhang Hui still did not give up. She stood in front of Shen Teng and stared at him for a long time. “I’ll leave, but are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“I won’t. You’d better leave quickly.” Shen Teng frowned slightly, looking a little impatient.
Zhang Hui did not say anything else. She turned around with red eyes and left the courtyard without looking back. Mrs. Zhang, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, quickly followed her out of the courtyard.
He Xing closed the gate again as he watched the two of them disappear into the darkness. He Xing helped Shen Teng back to the tent and let him sit on the bed. The conversation just now had already exhausted Shen Teng. Now that he had relaxed, he could not help but pant heavily. He was so weak that he could faint at any moment.
Xia Ju hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and handed it over. “Drink this quickly.”
Shen Teng did not ask anything. He took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. After a few minutes, Shen Teng’s complexion gradually improved. He was no longer as pale as before.
Seeing that his breathing had become smoother and his face had regained some color, the three of them felt relieved.
Shen Teng smiled gratefully at them. “If it weren’t for you guys today, I might have died in some corner. I can’t thank you enough. You saved my life. I’ll always remember it.”
Shen Teng still remembered that when he almost died of thirst, Xia Ju gave him water and saved his life. This time, when he was sick, Du Yue and the other two saved him again. He already owed Du Yue and the others two favors.
Looking at Shen Teng’s forced smile, Du Yue waved her hand. “Now is not the time to talk about this. You should first recuperate.”
Shen Teng grinned. “You don’t have to worry too much about me. 1 know my own body. After taking the medicine Xia Ju gave me, I feel much better now. I’ll be fine after resting for a few more days. In a few more days, I’ll be as good as new!”
Seeing that Shen Teng was in the mood to joke, the three of them felt much more relaxed. Xia Ju nodded. “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine with me around!”
Although the words of these two people sounded the same, Du Yue knew that their thoughts were completely different. Xia Ju was confident in her medical skills and potions, while Shen Teng seemed to be comforting them, afraid that they would worry about him.
Although Shen Teng said that he was fine, Du Yue still could not bear to let a patient like him live on his own. She asked, “You’re sick now. It’s not good if you don’t have someone to take care of you. Let He Xing stay with you.”
“I’m really fine!” Shen Teng’s attitude was firm. “All of you can leave. You don’t have to stay and take care of me. I can take care of myself, so don’t worry!”
Shen Teng was in a hurry to chase them away. It was not that he hated Du Yue and the other two. He just felt that he already owed them too much and did not want to trouble them anymore.
Seeing Shen Teng’s firm attitude, Du Yue did not insist any further. She only said, “Alright, then take care of yourself. There’s hot water in the kettle, millet porridge in the bowl on the table, and fried eggs on the plate beside it. If you don’t feel so uncomfortable later, you can have some food. If there’s anything else, contact us through the walkie-talkie at any time..”
