My sister-in-law from Qingdao

After drinking half a bowl of water, I snapped out of my turmoil and anxiety.

It's all a reality now. Although what we did was unethical, it was also within reason and not a terrible mistake.

After all, I have a girlfriend, but she remains unconscious; and Luo Qingshan is already divorced. From a somewhat distorted perspective, what I'm doing is like comforting a divorced woman.

"Sis, since it's all in the past, let's slowly forget about last night and start afresh. My lips and tongue have mostly recovered; it's nothing serious. You're alright too. How about we find something to eat and continue searching for that herb?"

Luo Qingshan sat beside me, her eyes lowered, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't respond, as if she were lost in thought.

I gently touched her arm, and she snapped out of her daze, her voice barely a whisper: "Chen Dong, it felt so good to be with you. It's dawn now. I know you don't belong to me, but I'm still a little greedy. Can we do it one more time?"

After saying that, she hurriedly turned her face to the side, too shy to look at me.

Like rain after a long drought, it's only natural to indulge in the pleasures of divorced people who have been divorced for several years and want to relive those feelings.

Remembering her tender and loving demeanor last night, I didn't say anything more, but simply wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. Then, we both fell onto the bed.

More than an hour later, we finally emerged from the village.

I wanted to continue searching for that Chinese herbal medicine, but Luo Qingshan believed that the two of them were in poor health and lacked food and water, so they had to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

I thought what she said made sense, so the two of them held hands and followed their instincts through the mountains and forests, supporting and encouraging each other. It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that they finally made it out of Luofu Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the car parked there, Luo Qingshan's eyes suddenly reddened.

Ignoring the strange looks from passing tourists, she suddenly threw herself into my arms, her voice choked with sobs:

"I'm out, I'm finally out. Everything that happened yesterday felt like a nightmare."

After saying that, she burst into laughter through her tears: "No, it wasn't a nightmare, it was a beautiful dream."

"It's good that you're out. Are you thirsty? Let's go buy a bottle of water." I felt like my throat was on fire.

Luo Qingshan nodded vigorously: "We're thirsty and hungry. Let's drive to a nearby resort, order some food and drinks, and treat ourselves."

She pulled me into the car and drove straight to the nearby mountain villa.

We charged our phones at the resort, got a private room, ordered eight dishes and a soup, and also brought a case of beer.

Everything was so enjoyable; the two of them drank seven bottles of beer and devoured most of the food on the table.

Luo Qingshan's face flushed, and her eyes became increasingly tender and dreamy.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she exclaimed, "Oh no! I've been drinking, I can't drive, and I won't be able to get back to the clinic tonight!"

Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, but I grinned and said, "Sis, since we've had too much to drink, let's not go back. Let's stay here and continue searching for herbs in the mountains tomorrow."

Fueled by alcohol, Luo Qingshan looked at me with a greedy glint in his eyes: "Little brother, I'm a rather greedy person. If you stay another night, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

I shrugged and spread my hands: "Who's afraid of who? If you're really worried I can't handle it, then you take the initiative and I'll take the passive one."

"Okay! You said it yourself. I'm not leaving tonight."

This night was even more frenzied than the night in the mountain village. I realized then that some women, seemingly elegant and beautiful, even aloof, can be far more ruthless than Pan Jinlian once they go wild.

And I really enjoy the feeling she gives me.

When I regained full consciousness, it was already broad daylight.

Luo Qingshan sat on the edge of the bed, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking at me with gentle eyes: "Chen Dong, what do you think, should we go into the mountains today or go back?"

"We must go into the mountains and keep searching," I said resolutely.

Luo Qingshan gently shook his head: "Good brother, let's go back. I don't want you to be too tired. These past two days have worn you out. You don't care, but I do."

After she finished speaking, she leaned down and gently kissed my cheek.

Since she wanted to go back, I couldn't insist any further. After resting for a while, getting dressed, washing up, and having lunch at the resort's canteen, I leisurely drove back.

As the car drove on the highway, the joy on Luo Qingshan's face gradually faded, replaced by a layer of sadness.

"Hey sis, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" I reached out and touched her arm.

"Chen Dong, thinking back to the time we spent in Luofu Mountain, it was truly wonderful. But once we returned to the Luo Family Medical Clinic, everything came back to reality. You're Su Xiaoya's boyfriend, and thinking about that makes my heart ache and I feel very sad."

Her words made me think deeply.

Yes, she's right. We can't possibly take care of Su Xiaoya while doing these shameful things in front of her; that would be too despicable.

Luo Qingshan gave a wry smile: "Actually, it's already very good. Having had such an experience, such a past, is enough for me to remember for a lifetime."

"Sister, you are a good woman. I hope you can find a good husband soon."

Luo Qingshan gently shook her head: "A happy marriage is about mutual support, love and companionship, growing together, and sharing joys and sorrows. But such marriages are too rare. Most people who get into marriage are just living together out of convenience. I've seen through that."

Hearing her say that, I stopped trying to persuade her. After all, love and marriage are things that no one can really explain or define; some people crave them, while others truly don't need them.

If you have enough financial resources, why not live a carefree life instead of finding a partner to tie you down?

As they chatted, the car soon arrived at Luo's Medical Clinic.

However, we were all stunned when the car stopped in front of the clinic.

A large crowd had gathered in front of the clinic, making a lot of noise and creating chaos.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingshan's expression changed drastically: "Impossible! Could it be a medical malpractice incident?"

"This shouldn't be happening. The doctors at the Luo Family Clinic are all highly skilled; this shouldn't have happened."

We hurriedly stopped the car and got out. Just as we stood still, a nurse in a white coat rushed over from the side, grabbed Luo Qingshan's arm, and cried out in a tearful voice, "Miss! Miss! Something terrible has happened!"
