The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 49 Desire
After eating and drinking, Mu Sheng and Zhu Wanfang walked hand in hand on the street.

"So you're not going to go back with me today?"

"Well, I plan to go out with my parents tomorrow and then go back next week."

After a while, the two of them strolled downstairs to Zhu Wanfang's house.

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you up?"

"No need!" Zhu Wanfang rolled her eyes at Mu Sheng and said, "My parents will be back soon. Are you sure you want to go up?"

"Just come back, there's nothing to be afraid of." Mu Sheng said a little unnaturally.

"You are so stubborn, then why do you look uncomfortable every time you see my dad?

Two people sitting there without saying a word, it would be embarrassing if a fly flew between you two. "

How to answer this? Should I say that I feel guilty because I don't plan to get married and I kidnapped someone's daughter? Alas, I am not thick-skinned enough.

"This is how men get along with each other, you don't understand. Okay, okay, let's go."

Mu Sheng pushed Zhu Wanfang into the building, watched her get into the elevator, and then left quickly.

“Na~na~na~na~na~”

Zhu Wanfang hummed the song she learned from Mu Sheng as she walked all the way to the door of her house. She was very happy that Mu Sheng, who had just been confronted by her, had fled in panic.

Just as she was about to open the door, Ruan Mei from the next room 1201 opened the door and came out. Zhu Wanfang suddenly remembered what Mu Sheng said about Ruan Mei having heart problems, and called out to her.

"Sister Ruan Mei."

"What's wrong, Fang? Is there anything wrong?"

Ruan Mei looked at Zhu Wanfang in confusion. She and Grandma Cai had just moved in not long ago, and except for the Fang family who helped her on the day of moving, the other neighbors were just ordinary neighbors.

"It's like this, Sister Ruan Mei, didn't we take the elevator down together just now?" Zhu Wanfang leaned in front of Ruan Mei and whispered.

"Brother Sheng kept staring at you with lustful eyes, so I scolded him. But he said that you looked unwell and had a serious heart disease that was difficult to cure, so he stared at you a few more times.

So I want to ask you if he is lying to me. If it is inconvenient to say, forget it. I definitely don’t mean to pry into your privacy. "

Zhu Wanfang was halfway through her question when she suddenly realized that if Ruan Mei really had a heart problem, wouldn't she be prying into her privacy and exposing her scars? So she quickly made amends.

Ruan Mei was surprised by Zhu Wanfang's question. Could she tell that she had a heart disease in just a short while?
I was a little skeptical, but I thought that I had just moved here and had never told anyone about my illness, so it was impossible for anyone to know about it. So I asked directly.

"Afang, is your boyfriend a doctor?"

Ruan Mei thought that since she hadn't told anyone, maybe Afang's boyfriend was a great cardiologist, so he could tell.

"No, Brother Sheng is just a playboy writer, but he does know some Chinese medicine. Sister Ruan Mei, why are you asking this?"

Zhu Wanfang denied it, but since Sister Ruan Mei asked this, could it be that Brother Sheng was right?

"Well, Afang, since your boyfriend has noticed it, I won't hide it from you. I have a congenital heart disease and it has been there for many years.

But please don't tell anyone, okay? I don't want people to look at me strangely."

Ruan Mei asked Zhu Wanfang for help, saying that she had grown up with Grandma Cai and depended on each other.

She knew that other people's pitying looks would not bring her any help, and sometimes would even cause her unnecessary trouble.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Ruan Mei, I will never tell anyone." Zhu Wanfang quickly assured and comforted her.

"But Sister Ruan Mei, don't give up. Brother Sheng said that this disease is just difficult to treat, and there will definitely be a day when you can recover."

"Well, thank you, Afang. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." "No, no, go ahead and do your thing. Bye."

Zhu Wanfang looked at Ruan Mei's back and felt that the figure exuded loneliness and sadness. She wanted to slap herself a few times.

How can I expose someone's scars? How can I ask them directly? I deserve to die.

Humph, it’s all Brother Sheng’s fault.

"Ah, cut~"

Who? Who is cursing me? Mu Sheng sneezed for no apparent reason and decided to go wash his feet with Datou to get rid of the evil spirits.

Night, public housing 1201.

Ruan Mei was reminded of sad memories by Zhu Wanfang's questions today. She thought of the hard times she had lived over the years and felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Amei, what's wrong with you? Are you distracted?" Grandma Cai asked her granddaughter.

"Oh, I'm fine, just a little tired." Ruan Mei excused herself, fearing that her grandmother would feel uncomfortable too.

"What do you mean it's okay? Grandma, how could I not know you? Tell me quickly, has anyone bullied you?" Grandma Cai raised her voice, a little worried.

"No, grandma, no one bullied me. It was Afang next door who asked me today."

Seeing that her grandmother had some misunderstanding, Ruan Mei told Grandma Cai what happened in the afternoon.

"You mean, Afang's boyfriend could tell at a glance that you had heart problems?" Grandma Cai suddenly became excited after hearing Ruan Mei's description.

"Yeah, I thought her boyfriend was a doctor, but he's not. Grandma, do you think my illness has gotten worse? Can you tell from my face?"

Ruan Mei stood up and went to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror.

"No, I'm fine." Grandma Cai pulled Ruan Mei out of the bathroom and pushed her to sit on the stool.

"You just said that Afang's boyfriend knows some Chinese medicine, right?"

"Yeah, that's what she said, what's wrong?" Ruan Mei looked at Grandma Cai in confusion.

"What's wrong? You stupid kid, since her boyfriend can tell at a glance that you have a heart disease and he knows Chinese medicine, maybe he has a way to cure your disease!"

Grandma Cai was a little excited. Seeing her granddaughter's stupid look, she reached out and pinched her.

"Oh, grandma, it hurts!"

"You should be given pain, but you don't care about your own illness at all."

"Why don't you take it seriously? I've been taking my medicine on time. I worked so hard to save money for medical treatment."

Ruan Mei rubbed the place where her grandmother pinched her and retorted.

"Afang's boyfriend is so young, how could he be so powerful? It's just a coincidence. And the doctor said it can't be cured, so the longer he lives, the better."

When Granny Cai heard what Ruan Mei said, she immediately became anxious. "Pah, pah, pah, what depressing words are you talking about? It will definitely be cured."

"Besides, Chinese medicine has many secret remedies. You can find a chance to ask Afang and ask her boyfriend to help you. What if?"

Looking at her grandmother's expectant eyes, Ruan Mei finally stopped arguing. It would be good to ask Ah Fang, at least it would comfort her grandmother.

Perhaps Ruan Mei herself did not realize that she was not as open-minded as she said. If there was no other way, who would not want to live a few more years?
