āNo. He just drank a little soup. He even vomited all up. He probably thinks I poisoned the soup.ā
Mother Ai looked a little pale. āDonāt go to see him anymore. Heās crazy. What if he hurts you?ā
Ning Shu nodded in assent, but she knew sheād still be going to see him again.
Cheng Fei had to be dealt with.
Cheng Fei didnāt trust her. He ate the food she made but vomited it out later.
She was really speechless.
Since Cheng Fei vomited all over the room and made a huge mess, the nurse wouldnāt let Ning Shu bring any more things since she was annoyed by the mess.
Cheng Fei really knew how to play people.
Sometime after that visit, Ning Shu started to work as an academic advisor at the university. As an advisor, she basically had to handle everything including the studentsā studies, mental health, and life overall.
She served the students in all aspects of their student life.
Ning Shu was still a little overwhelmed at the beginning. However, after a few days, sheād learned the ropes and wasnāt as flustered as she was before.
The students began to come to her for any trouble and headaches they had.
To be an advisor, a person must also be outstanding in a certain field. Professor Ai had reported that Ning Shu was outstanding in foreign languages.
Fortunately, Ning Shu knew some foreign languages.
She wouldāve ended up exposed otherwise.
Ai Yun, the original host, had been fluent in several foreign languages.
The days were pretty fulfilling. Sometimes, one worked not only for survival but also so one could realize their self-worth.
On the weekend, Ning Shu went to the mental asylum again.
Her bank account suffered another hit.
This time, the nurse didnāt take Ning Shu to Cheng Feiās room, but to the yard.
Cheng Fei was sitting on a bench there. His eyes were slightly closed. There were lunatics running and laughing all around him.
Cheng Fei turned a deaf ear to them.
Ning Shu walked over and stood in front of Cheng Fei, blocking his sunlight.
Cheng Feiās eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes. Ning Shu was standing with her back against the sun, so it was difficult for him to see Ning Shuās face.
āYouāre here.ā Cheng Fei scooted away and made room for Ning Shu to sit next to him.
āHowās it going?ā Ning Shu asked.
āHow do you think itās going in a mental asylum?ā Cheng Fei asked back.
āIn any case, youāre definitely not suffering like an actual insane person.ā
Cheng Fei smiled. The sunlight hit his face and gave his face a golden hue.
Ning Shu stared at Cheng Feiās hair and said, āLetās continue pulling out your white hair.ā
Cheng Fei shook his head. āI donāt want to.ā
āCome on. Donāt be stubborn, alright?ā Ning Shu stretched out her hands towards Cheng Feiās hair, then yanked it.
Cheng Fei hissed. āIt hurts.ā
āNo worries, thereās plenty more to come.ā Ning Shu yanked hard and Cheng Fei gave a muffled groan.
Ning Shu blew at the white hair on her hand. āLooks like youāre aging much quicker than I am. Why donāt you fossilize yourself first?ā
āI donāt care about my beauty. As long as youāre more beautiful than me,ā Cheng Fei calmly said.
āHaha, youāre too polite. Youāre so much more handsome than me, so if someoneās gotta die, it should be you first.ā Ning Shu pulled Cheng Feiās hair again.
āAre you prematurely aging?ā
Cheng Fei smiled. āIt doesnāt matter. Everyone goes through this anyway.
āDo you want to hear about my past?ā Cheng Fei stared at Ning Shu.
Cheng Fei had lost weight and grew some stubble. He looked like heād gone through a lot.
āI donāt. No need, not interested,ā she said.
Cheng Fei was a little surprised. āWerenāt you really interested in my past?ā
āNot anymore, so no need to tell me about it.ā Ning Shu pulled out another white hair from Cheng Feiās head.
