Chapter 288 Borrow

After listening to Wen Cheng'an's story, Shi Xia felt no emotional fluctuation.

There are many pitiful people in this world. What kind of good person is Zhou Zhaodi, who can kill her whole family and even plan to kill Zhou Yusheng's child?

Wen Chean shared the same idea.

The two of them just let it go after hearing about it, but Lin Sisi was genuinely frightened.

Who wouldn't be terrified if they knew that someone who had killed her entire family and was planning to kill her children had lived next to her for more than two months?
Lin Sisi was so frightened by this incident that she had nightmares for several nights in a row, and her neurasthenia almost caused her to make a mistake at work.

She could only ask for a few days off to rest.

The leaders of the family compound and the hospital knew about Zhou Zhaodi's situation and, out of sympathy, gave Lin Sisi two days off.

Lin Sisi walked out of the hospital, and Zhou Yusheng was waiting for her outside.

"How did you come?"

Lin Sisi was unaware that Zhou Yusheng would come over, and Zhou Yusheng stepped forward.

"I took the day off to be with you."

Zhou Yusheng knew all too well that he had seen Lin Sisi's heavy breathing and tossing and turning at night, and he wanted to stay with her to put her mind at ease.

Why do you seem a little unhappy?

Zhou Yusheng said this half-jokingly, and Lin Sisi gave an awkward smile.

"Um... I don't really need you to be with me."

Zhou Yusheng's smile faded. What did that mean? Who did he want to accompany him?

"Oh dear, I'm going to stay with Shi Xia for a couple of days. I only feel at ease when I'm with her! It's not that you're not important, it's just that I think Shi Xia is more powerful, the kind of powerful that can exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits."

Lin Sisi spoke the words "exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits" very softly.

She gently tugged at Zhou Yusheng's sleeve, coaxing, "Don't be angry, let's not compare ourselves to Shi Xia!"

Zhou Yusheng smiled thoughtfully, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"Sisi, do you think Shi Xia's family will take me in?"

He also urgently needs to replenish his "positive" energy.

If he knew that there were evil spirits in this world, the first companion he would want to find would definitely be Shi Xia.

"Aren't you angry?"

"That's Shi Xia!"

"Makes sense!"

"Shall we give it a try?"

"I can see it."

And so, the couple took a bunch of things to Hai San Island. As for the child, he was still staying with Aunt Lin. Lin Sisi hadn't dared to tell Aunt Lin yet, lest she scare the old couple.

Three islands in the sea.

Those newly appointed officials who were all eager to make a splash in their new positions were completely overwhelmed with their own problems after Shi Xia sent them back.

The phone call came from their direct supervisor, who gave several people a severe scolding and fired them on the spot.

This department is currently vacant until someone is selected from above.

When summer returned, the three islands of Haisan regained their former warmth and ease.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an were cleaning scallops in the yard because Grandpa Shi was going to make wontons with scallop filling.

A huge wooden basin; I wonder how many wontons it's going to make.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an worked slowly and leisurely. This kind of work didn't require much brainpower, and they could chat, which was very relaxing.

"Tokika!"

Lin Sisi suddenly appeared at the door.

Shi Xia and Wen Cheng'an looked up at the two people at the door and said, "Come in."

Lin Sisi and Zhou Yusheng came in, and after talking for a while, Lin Sisi even pulled Shi Xia aside to whisper something.

"Could I borrow you for the night?"

"How can I borrow it?"

Shi Xia didn't understand, so Lin Sisi explained the reason.

"So you came to me to ward off evil spirits."

Lin Sisi nodded, her round eyes full of pleading.

"Okay, just for one night."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Wen Chengan heard this and immediately kicked Zhou Yusheng.

"No, why did you kick me?" "Who else would I kick if not you! You're a good-for-nothing, you can't even take care of your own wife."

Zhou Yusheng was speechless and felt guilty.

However, after being kicked, he hugged his good friend.

"Hey bro, wanna hang out tonight?"

"roll!"

"Okay, see you tonight."

And so, Zhou Yusheng and Lin Sisi stayed there.

The two of them worked together, and in the evening the four of them took a walk on the beach and childishly played in the sand.

After the group returned together, Lin Sisi followed Shi Xia into the house, while Wen Chengan took Zhou Yusheng back to the next room.

The night was quiet, but Lin Sisi still couldn't sleep. This time, it wasn't out of fear, but simply because she couldn't sleep and was also a little excited.

"Shi Xia, are you asleep?"

"What do you think?"

"Hey, shall we chat?"

Shi Xia sat up, and the two began to talk. Before they knew it, the conversation had gone a little off track and turned a bit risqué.

Lin Sisi asked a question that seemed to defy all reason: "Is this even possible?"

"Why not? As long as you want to, there's nothing a couple can't do."

Lin Sisi tried hard to suppress her racing heartbeat and pointed with her finger, saying, "This is kind of exciting."

"A heartbeat is worse than action."

Lin Sisi's giggling voice drifted through the night.

As for the man, Zhou Yusheng's astonishment and disbelief also came from his side.

"Are you an animal?! Doing push-ups in the middle of the night instead of sleeping."

Wen Chengan was wearing a military green vest, and his muscles, though not prominent, were extremely powerful and twitched rhythmically.

"No wonder you're so weak?"

Just that one sentence made Zhou Yu angrily take off his coat. Who's weaker?

"If it's not going to work, it's not going to work. Why make excuses?"

Without a single "no," Zhou Yusheng immediately got to work.

A man's word is his bond; he can't say no!

Dry!
After doing several sets, Zhou Yusheng lay on the ground, questioning his existence.

How could he remember that he was resting?

Wen Chengan tossed him a towel.

"Go take a shower, don't get my sheets dirty."

When Zhou Yusheng returned, Wen Cheng'an asked, "Are you still overthinking things?"

Zhou Yusheng shook his head.

Forget about overthinking, he's exhausted and his mind feels like it's been locked up.

"So you should exercise more when you have nothing to do, so you don't overthink things and end up stealing other people's wives."

Zhou Yusheng remained silent.

He finally understood: Wen Cheng'an harbored a great deal of resentment!
The next morning, Zhou Yusheng and Lin Sisi said goodbye.

The two were going to the mainland to celebrate the New Year with the Lin family, and then pick up their child and take him home to their family compound.

Shi Xia is also starting to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Baldy came to deliver New Year's goods again and stayed at Shi Xia's house for a day. In the afternoon, Shi Xia arranged for a boat to take him back.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Chengan also left. As the regimental commander, he wanted to spend the New Year with the soldiers in the army.

After seeing Wen Cheng'an off, Shi Xia stayed with Grandpa Shi, surrounded by several of the family's dogs, each dressed in clothes specially made by Grandpa Shi.

They're practically family now.

On the night of the Lunar New Year, Shi Xia set off fireworks and gave candy to the children on Hai San Island.

Similarly, in the last two days before the Lunar New Year, Haisandao distributed this year's dividends to all the villagers.

The distribution was calculated based on the number of people and their labor capacity. The person who received the most received more than 1,300, and the person who received the least received more than 400.

Having money in hand makes the New Year easier. From two days before the New Year to two days after, Shi Xia's family didn't have to cook for themselves, as every household brought them food.

She's definitely the group's darling and has gained a boss-like status.
