Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Making a Scene and Clinging to Someone Powerful

Wu Haipeng’s leg really hadn’t healed.

But he wasn’t the type to stay put.

While Qin Zhan and Gu Beihuai were talking about him, Wu Haipeng was still with Dangdang, taking her to the Tang Family.

When getting out of the car, Wu Haipeng stumbled a bit. Dangdang thought it was just an accident, but Wu Haipeng’s face turned somewhat pale, though he didn’t show it.

Having dropped Dangdang off at the Tang Family, Wu Haipeng simply told her to keep her sister company, then he headed home.

Wu Haipeng had barely stepped out the door when he nearly fell, saved only by Gu Nanzhi who happened to pass by. Otherwise, he might have collapsed on the spot.

"Brother Haipeng, what happened to you?"

Gu Nanzhi exclaimed, rushing forward to support Wu Haipeng. He gestured for her to lower her voice so that Dangdang in the courtyard wouldn’t hear.

Being sensible, Gu Nanzhi steadied Wu Haipeng out of the alley and onto the main street, where they found a corner to sit.

Wu Haipeng felt a bit better, but Gu Nanzhi looked at him quizzically.

Suddenly she thought of something, "Do you need me to get my brother?"

She remembered Gu Beihuai mentioning that Wu Haipeng’s leg wasn’t really in good shape: It looked fine, but he shouldn’t exert himself or the pain would become unbearable.

Wu Haipeng grabbed Gu Nanzhi’s arm. "Don’t go, I can bear it!"

Gu Nanzhi sat back down, sighing as she looked at him, "Why do you guys do this? My brother clearly has such an awful temper, yet he secretly smokes. Brother Zhan too, always laughing and joking, but I’ve seen him cry. And you, even worse, not going to the doctor with a painful leg!"

Wu Haipeng ruffled Gu Nanzhi’s hair.

The girl did know quite a bit.

"Doesn’t everyone have their little worries? But why don’t you get along with your brother?"

Wu Haipeng rubbed his leg. These past few days, running around outside with Dangdang, he hadn’t had the chance to rest his leg, and problems today were expected.

Right now, he just wanted to rest for a while before going back to apply some medicine.

Gu Nanzhi couldn’t help but sigh, "What else could it be? He just owes! I used to adore my brother when we were little, but him? His world only contained how to beat Xiaxia. No matter how I tried to please him, he just didn’t see me!"

Wu Haipeng scratched his face.

Gu Beihuai really was a scoundrel in his childhood.

Because he hated losing and the way Tang Chuxia casually defeated him tormented him; he practically wished he could kill Tang Chuxia.

His eyes only saw his enemy; he couldn’t pay attention to anyone else.

"After I started going to school with Xiaxia, my brother began to dislike me too, so I started to dislike him back!"

Gu Nanzhi provided a reason that left Wu Haipeng speechless.

It made him somewhat sympathetic towards Gu Beihuai.

Look at his lack of success with women over the years.

Having rested enough, Wu Haipeng got up ready to go home.

"Don’t tell your brother about today’s events!" Wu Haipeng instructed Gu Nanzhi, to which she readily agreed, "Of course, my lips are sealed!"

Relieved, Wu Haipeng went home, only to fall asleep for a short while when he saw Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan arrive.

Like Door Gods, they stood beside his bed, their faces dark enough to use as ink.

"Your leg has relapsed!"

Qin Zhan spoke first.

Gu Beihuai poked Wu Haipeng’s leg with a finger, watching him grimace and sneered, "It’s been problematic for a while! It’s inflamed." As he spoke, he lifted Wu Haipeng’s pant leg.

Qin Zhan gasped.

The situation was worse than they had thought.

A head popped up behind the two of them, "Oh my, that is really scary!"

Gu Nanzhi poked her head out and was met with Wu Haipeng’s unfriendly gaze, she immediately raised her hands and said, "Brother Haipeng, it’s not that I didn’t keep my promise, but you just look wrong, how could I hide it from my brother!"

Qin Zhan placed his hand on Wu Haipeng’s brow, "He has started to run a fever!"

Gu Beihuai lifted the blanket and carried Wu Haipeng on his back.

Wu Haipeng was unwilling to go out, but upon hearing his parents’ voices at the door, he immediately became obedient.

"Let’s go, don’t let my parents find out!"

If his parents knew how bad his health was, who knows what they would do!

Gu Beihuai scolded him for being cowardly, but he didn’t stop walking and strode out, bumping into Mr. and Mrs. Wu who were just entering.

"Oh dear, what is Haipeng up to now?"

Mrs. Wu teased with a laugh, Wu Haipeng chuckled awkwardly, Gu Beihuai took over the conversation, "Auntie, he lost a bet and I have to carry him out for a bit!"

Mrs. Wu playfully scolded her son for his antics, but didn’t stop them, only telling Wu Haipeng to go easy and not bully people.

Mr. Wu, more perceptive than Mrs. Wu, sensed something and advised them not to gamble recklessly, but he soon turned to Mrs. Wu and said, "I just remembered I have some work at the office, I need to go back for a bit, don’t wait for me for dinner."

Mrs. Wu complained about her husband’s busy schedule but urged him to go quickly.

Mr. Wu left the house and hurried to catch up with Gu Beihuai and the others.

"Is Haipeng’s leg acting up again?"

Mr. Wu looked at Wu Haipeng’s leg, very certain.

Wu Haipeng didn’t dare tell Mrs. Wu, but knowing Mr. Wu could handle the news, he just nodded.

Mr. Wu stumbled slightly but still followed them to the main street where it was easier to hail a taxi.

Wu Haipeng felt uncomfortable, being so grown up yet still worrying his parents.

Just as they were hailing a taxi, they bumped into Tang Chuxia, fresh out of a bath with a towel wrapped around her head, clean from head to toe, having thoroughly scrubbed herself three times with soap to ensure not a speck of dirt remained.

Having been steamed for so long, her face was flushed pink and tender, radiantly beautiful.

She was carrying a basket and hurried over when she saw the group standing by the roadside.

"What’s going on?"

Tang Chuxia sized up Wu Haipeng; Wu Haipeng nodded in greeting but said nothing.

Qin Zhan quietly told her that Wu Haipeng’s leg hurt and they were going to the hospital to get it checked.

Tang Chuxia instantly understood—it must be a problem with Wu Haipeng’s leg.

She still remembered how unusually long Gu Beihuai and their vacation was, and crucially, in the book Wu Haipeng was lame.

If she wasn’t wrong, it must be a problem that had arisen at this time.

Frowning, she thought of Dangdang, and looking at Wu Haipeng, she really didn’t want him to end up lame.

But for the time being, she didn’t have a better solution, although she thought she might ask the old Taoist.

They say stinky Taoists always have some bizarre plasters.

Besides, she also remembered a plot in the book mentioning a similar scenario.

Seeing the car arrive, Gu Beihuai and the others didn’t have time to chat with Tang Chuxia and told her to head back inside and not get cold.

Tang Chuxia stopped Gu Beihuai and Mr. Wu, saying, "Uncle Wu, Brother Zhan, you guys go ahead and take Brother Haipeng to the hospital. I need to talk to Gu Beihuai for a moment, and I’ll come right over!"

Gu Beihuai didn’t understand why Tang Chuxia would have anything to say at such a time, but seeing her unusually anxious, he didn’t refuse.

After the car left, Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai and asked with some uncertainty:

"Do you throw tantrums and cling to people’s legs?"
