Chapter 153 A Beam of Light
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"

A soft, unfamiliar voice reached her ears, causing Su Yu to pause in her act of getting up.

He struggled to open his eyes, and only when his vision gradually cleared did he see the beautiful and graceful young girl standing in front of him.

"The doctor said you fainted from hunger and gave you some medicine. If you're hungry, drink some porridge first, but don't drink too much at first..."

He couldn't hear what the girl was saying as her mouth opened and closed; all his attention was drawn to the white porridge in front of him, and his saliva was flowing freely.

He snatched it away almost the instant Qin Su handed it to him.

"Hey, slow down, be careful not to choke."

But he wouldn't listen at all, and finished the porridge in the bowl in just a few gulps.

But I felt even hungrier.

"Are you still hungry?" The girl's gentle voice rang out again, and he realized he hadn't said thank you yet: "Thank you..."

"There are still a few steamed buns left, you..."

Before Qin Su could finish speaking, the steamed bun in her hand was snatched away again. Looking at the man wolfing it down, it was clear that he was really starving.

Seeing that he was eating too fast and was about to choke, she handed him the tea beside her: "Have some tea, don't choke."

Su Yu gave her a grateful look, and to be honest, those excessively dark and bright eyes really seemed to be able to speak.

After he finished eating three steamed buns, Qin Su finally spoke: "I've already paid. You can stay at the clinic for two days and leave when you're feeling better."

After she finished speaking, she prepared to get up and leave.

Su Yu had finished eating, and his mind finally started working again. Seeing the little fat lamb in front of him about to leave, he quickly grabbed her: "No, no..."

Only when he saw the handprint left by his dirty hand on the girl's clean and beautiful gauze dress did he shrink back and say, "I'm sorry."

His timid and anxious demeanor suggests he has the potential to be a good actor.

Qin Su glanced at the dirty handprints on her skirt, paused for a moment, then shook her head: "It's okay. Is there anything you want to say?"

Meeting the girl's clean and gentle eyes, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. He decisively jumped off the bed and knelt down before her.
"Thank you so much, Miss, for saving my life. I have no way to repay your kindness. Please accept my bow!"

As he spoke, he promptly kowtowed to Qin Su.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Su's eyes. She swiftly reached out and supported him, stopping the man from kowtowing: "No!"

She remembered that in the original story, the female lead failed to stop him because she was a little slow to react, and that brat had held a grudge ever since.

The girl's soft hand lifted his arm, stopping his movement. A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from her body, making Su Yu momentarily dazed.

“Even if it were someone else who collapsed in front of me today, I would still save them. Don’t do this. A man’s knees are worth gold. This is just a small matter, not worth you kneeling.”

The girl's gentle yet firm words reached his ears, and her natural, equal, and undiscriminatory tone startled Su Yu.

How long has it been since anyone spoke to him like that?
For a moment, he forgot to continue acting.

Just as a pull came from her arm, the girl's voice, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, reached her ears: "Get up, I can't lift you..."

Only then did he belatedly realize what was happening and hurriedly got up from the ground, but because he was so angry, he almost fell headfirst to the ground: "Watch out!"

When she was helped up again, the girl's voice, tinged with helplessness, reached her ears: "Your body is too weak, you should lie down and rest first."

As she spoke, she helped him sit back down on the edge of the couch.

Through her disheveled hair, he stole glances at the girl's expression. If there was even the slightest hint of feigned disgust, he would...

"Okay, you can rest now, I'm leaving first."

The girl looked up at him and gave him a gentle smile: "The apprentice was supposed to help, but I was too busy earlier, so..." "What's your name, Miss?"

Qin Su was stunned for a moment, looking at him with some surprise.

He seemed to realize he had said something he shouldn't have, and hurriedly lowered his head to explain, "It's alright if Miss doesn't want to..."

"Qin Sangsang,"

She opened her mouth and gave him a sweet smile: "My name is Qin Sangsang."

Even after many years, Su Yu still remembers that smiling face from today, as if a ray of light had suddenly shone into his dark and chaotic world.

"Qin, Sangsang..."

The girl gave a few more instructions and then turned and left.

Gazing at the empty doorway, the man's lips curled into a chilling, eerie smile.
-
"Miss, where have you been?"

Not long after Qin Su left the clinic, she encountered Chunfeng, who had been waiting for her return for a long time.

"I waited for you at home for a long time, but you didn't come back, so I came out..."

“I encountered a person who had collapsed on the road, and I took him to the clinic.”

Qin Su explained her movements in a few words, but Chunfeng was taken aback: "Ah, the clinic?"

Unfortunately, although she was very curious, Miss Sangsang didn't seem to want to say much.

She could only suppress her curiosity for the time being, and made up her mind to go back and teach the others a lesson, and that she must keep a closer eye on them in the future.
-
She thought the rescue was over, but two days later, when Qin Su went to buy groceries, she ran into that person again—

"Miss Qin!"

The sudden sound startled Qin Su. She looked around before noticing a... beggar hiding around the corner?
Qin Su was stunned for a moment: "You...it's you?"

Upon discovering that she actually remembered him, the beggar—Su Yu—smiled, a smile that seemed out of place with his beggar attire, despite his overly handsome and refined appearance.

“I’ve been waiting here for days. Thank you so much, Miss Qin, for that day. If it weren’t for you, I would have starved to death…”

As he spoke, his eyes reddened, and he looked at the girl with gratitude in his eyes, wishing he could kowtow again on the spot.

If Qin Su hadn't read the original novel, she would have believed it.

"I already said, you don't need to thank me, who..."

"Coo coo coo,"

Before she could finish speaking, a strange sound interrupted her, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Su Yu pressed her stomach, looking extremely embarrassed. Qin Su asked considerately, "Didn't you eat?"

He gave an awkward smile: "I...I've eaten..." Before he could finish the word "eat," a package of oiled paper suddenly appeared in front of him.

"This is osmanthus cake that I made myself. If you don't mind, please try it."

Even though he was there to act, the aroma of pastries, which could be smelled even through the oil paper wrapping, made him swallow hard and ask, "W-Is it okay?"

Qin Su smiled and said, "Of course you can. Try it and let me know if there's anything you don't like."

He reached out to take it, but just before he touched it, he remembered something, withdrew his hand, rubbed it hard on his body twice, and then took it.

Qin Su noticed that the man's hands were much cleaner than before.
