Wei Xingyue seemed more energetic as she recovered, but her body was still weak.
Shi Lei convinced her to rest peacefully for another day.
In the afternoon, Wei Puti called Shi Lei outside the room after Wei Xingyue fell asleep.
"Do you really have a way to save my sister?" Wei Puti asked.
Shi Lei nodded confidently, "It shouldn't be a problem."
"Don't say should or shouldn't. It's about whether you can or can't."
Shi Lei pondered and replied definitely, "I can! Without a surprise, I can save you too!"
"I don't need you to worry about that!" Wei Puti didn't want to accept the favor.
Shi Lei smiled and didn't mind it, "But your sister definitely wishes you to keep living. I don't want to persuade you but you have to do one thing. Don't be a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Aside from your sister, your father wants you to live on too."
Wei Puti pouted and didn't say anything harsh. She blinked her eyes which were almost the same as Wei Xingyue's, "I'm going back to Wudong first. My Dad needs me more. Remember what you said, You said you can save my sister. I don't care how you do it, but I believe you. Just keep my sister alive."
Shi Lei nodded and replied seriously, "Take care." He added after a while, "Don't do anything stupid."
Shi Lei returned to the room as he knew that Wei Puti wouldn't come in again.
Wei Puti pouted again as she saw Shi Lei closing the door and whispered, "None of your business!" She turned around and headed straight to the train station to go back.
After two days, Wei Xingyue finally returned to her usual state. After the doctor confirmed that she was well enough to leave, Wei Xingyue immediately grabbed Shi Lei's hands and asked, "You've been soothing me for three days. Hurry up tell me how you can help me!"
Shi Lei smiled and spoke in a soft voice, "Let's go and get the paperwork for leaving."
"Are you stupid? This place is for officials and their families. There is no need for paperwork. We can just leave and someone will take care of it. I want to know how you can help me right now. And since you can help me, why can't you help my father…" Wei Xingyue's expressions became gloomy again.
"Let's go and talk somewhere else. It's inconvenient here."
Wei Xingyue noded and the two left with their hands intertwined.
Someone reported the news of Wei Xingyue leaving the hospital to the elder very soon. The elder stopped writing, took off his glasses, and stayed motionless for half a minute.
Eventually, he sighed as he picked up the pen and began to read documents again.
Wei Xingyue and Shi Lei called a taxi and returned to the hotel where Wei Xingyue stayed at.
Wei Xingyue booked two months at the hotel in one go. Although she didn't come back for the past few days, the staff cleaned it daily and changed fresh fruits every day.
Shi Lei glanced the room after he walked in and asked, "Were you here when you sent me the WeChat message on the first day of the New Year. The one that I replied to but you ignored me?"
Wei Xingyue nodded and replied without interest, "I thought I would be parted with you for the rest of my life after the sunset. I was looking at your message and I cried."
Shi Lei pointed at the window, "Here?"
Wei Xingyue nodded without speaking, but her eyes reddened again. No matter how independent she was, she could no longer keep calm when she faced the survival of her family.
Shi Lei held Wei Xingyue's hands and pulled her into his arms. He almost bit her ears but spoke fiercely in a soft voice, "Remember, crazy woman. No matter what happens in the future, I will not allow you to lose contact with me. Do you know how hard it was for me?"
Wei Xingyue almost melted. Shi Lei breathed next to her ears and it seemed to surround her. The slight itchiness seemed to make her body numb.
"I won't…" Perhaps this was the first time that Wei Xingyue seemed this shy in front of Shi Lei.
Shi Lei held Wei Xingyue even tighter in his arms and muttered, "This hug feels the most realistic. When you hugged me on Mountain Qinglong, did you treat that as our last hug?"
Wei Xingyue hid her face in Shi Lei's arms and nodded slightly. She quickly shook her face again, "I had that thought before, but I also thought that it could be avoided at the time. I didn't think that Yu Banzhi was this cruel…"
"It's not that he's cruel. He didn't want to be like this either. However, he had been selfish for thirty years and it was time to make sacrifices for his family. With his wealth alone, it was impossible to move so many people at the same time. Hence, he didn't have a choice but to target your family. You can hate him, but never ever try to take revenge. Even without him, there will be someone else who wants to swallow your family's wealth one day. In this society, there is no such thing as washing away your past and changing. Only what goes around comes around."
"I understand. That's what my Dad said before I left. When I came to Didu, my sister said this too and so did my godfather.
"Do you hate your godfather?"
"No! If he helps me, it's the mutual affection between us. However, if he doesn't help me, it's his duty to do so. Not to mention that it's my father's fault anyway. He's simply paying back. But my godfather has to care of his family. I'm giving him enough trouble just to give me the option of marrying my third brother in order to save me."
Shi Lei nodded, "So you are the only one he wishes to save or the only person from the Wei family he wishes to save. I was furious when I heard about this. He's a national level official. How could he take advantage of you at a time like this? But later I realized that he couldn't be helped."
"Then how are you going to help me? Not only me but what about Puti too. I already lost my brother and I will soon lose my father. I can't lose Puti." Wei Xingyue raised her head with teary eyes. She was charming, moving, and sexy. She was an almost unreal beauty.
Shi Lei was moved and his desires rose. He picked up Wei Xingyue and walked towards the big bed, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's do something else before I tell you what to do!"
Wei Xingyue panicked, "What are you doing?" She tried to break free from Shi Lei's grasp.
"Sleep with you! I'll make you my woman completely. Didn't you always wanted that?!" Shi Lei threw Wei Xingyue onto the bed as he lowered his body and kissed Wei Xingyue's lips heavily.
Wei Xingyue's words were muffled as she attempted to push Shi Lei away. But when her lips were forced open by the tip of Shi Lei's tongue, she turned into water and let Shi Lei have what he wanted.
Shi Lei kissed Wei Xingyue as if she was an artwork. He touched Wei Xingyue's slim waist lightly and the pair of long legs which he already had a taste of…
Their breathing gradually became heavy. Shi Lei got up and took off his clothes and so did Wei Xingyue. Their bodies pressed against each other tightly and hid in the snow-white bed sheets…
(Omitting more than 30,000,000 words here)
A corner of the sheets flung open, revealing Wei Xingyue's beautiful face. Her hair was messy and her eyes lost focus.
She breathed heavily and before she could catch her breath, Shi Lei pulled her under the sheets again.
(Omitting more than 30,000,000 words here again)
It was dark. Shi Lei and Wei Xingyue lay in bed next to each other. Wei Xingyue rested her head on Shi Lei's chest and drew circles with her fingers on the spot below his neck.
"Your third brother who is your godfather's third son. What disease does he have?" Shi Lei asked.
