Counterattack:Falling In Love With My Enemy (BXB)(逆袭之爱上情敌）

174: Another trick

Lian brought Wu back to his home and let him sleep in Shuo's room.

Wu took a hot shower, changed into fresh clean clothes and cuddled up in the warm blanket. Within 2 minutes, Lian observed him for a while and made sure he was really awake before heading out again.

It was midnight, the rain has stopped.

Lian didn't get a single second of sleep, he went out to the living room to get a glass of water, then he saw Wu was sitting on the floor of the living room with his legs crossed, staring out at the window. His black hair was growing out in different directions following a spiral pattern, with his spine straightened, he looked like a tough yet lonely child.

'Aren't you sleeping soundly just now?' Lian asked, 'Why did you get up?'

Wu simply replied, 'The rain stopped, I can't sleep.'

True, just now when there were thunder and lightning outside of the window, Wu was deep in sleep. Now that everything is so quiet, he can't sleep well now. He felt like he had heard the door being opened, then a chain of footsteps coming into the room from the door, but he has waited for so long for someone to open his bedroom door.

So, he decided to sit outside.

Lian naturally knew what Wu was thinking about now, the state he's in right now it's exactly how Shuo's like every day. During their 6 months here, Shuo was walking around the house like a ghost, waiting someday for someone to open the door and say: 'I've finally found you.'

They are both proud yet timid children, but they have different masks on.

'Shuo wouldn't come back today,' Lian told Wu, 'If one decides to spend the night outside, he wouldn't step on a muddy road after the rain has stopped to come back home.'

'I'm not suspecting he's at Chi's,' Wu acted as if he doesn't care, 'I'm just afraid that when he comes back, if he sees me lying on his bed, he would be upset.'

Lian said, 'Don't worry, he isn't anywhere better anyway, he doesn't even bother to wash his feet, I should be asking you if you're fine with that.'

Wu nodded, then returned to Shuo's room quietly.

At this time, Chi was still walking up and down in front of Wu's mom's ward.

Within a month's time, Wu's mom has lost so much weight, even though Chi has arranged her to stay in a normal ward but she actually receives special treatment in secret, he just didn't want her to feel bad.

When Chi rushed to the hospital, she was vomiting non-stop, she also has a high fever, she was already in a coma.

Her condition has turned better just now, the second she woke up she grabbed onto Chi and said, 'Chi! Please don't tell my son about this, what if I passed one day, how miserable you think my son is going to be! If you tell him now, he has to suffer from today till the day I die.'

This same sentence, Wu's mom has told Chi countless times.

She has taken all her saving out, thinking that she is able to make it through till the day she dies, but little did she know that it was hardly enough for one day in the hospital. She didn't want to spend the money that Wu gives her, she kept reminding Chi to buy the cheapest medicines, assign her in the cheapest wards, she needs to save the money for her son's marriage.

Chi didn't tell Wu, not just because to fulfill Wu's mom's wish, but part of it was because of his selfishness. He didn't want Wu to feel miserable, even though he knew how much she wanted to see her son, he didn't want to bring Wu here to see his ill mom.
