After Waking Up, I Inherited a Bookstore 45

Chapter 45: Quarrel

After about five minutes, Ke Yan had clearly improved and was no longer as weak as before.

Liu Chuxia wiped the sweat from her forehead and finally relaxed.

“Ke Yan, are you feeling better?”

Ke Yan sat up in an instant. “Sister, it feels so good. How did you do it? This is more than ten times better than before. I can feel that I’ve actually become stronger.” She danced with excitement.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Liu Chuxia and said gratefully, “Thank you, sister.”

“You’re welcome. I have to make up for the mistake I made. I’m going upstairs now. This art is a bit tiring.” Liu Chuxia struggled to get up from the floor.

“Sister! Are you okay? Don’t hurt yourself for my sake.” Ke Yan quickly supported her, afraid that she would accidentally fall.

“I’m fine, just a little tired. Take me to my room,” Liu Chuxia said, her face pale.

Xiao Xu quickly took her over and said to Ke Yan, “Let me. You can’t go to sister’s room. I haven’t changed the bookstore’s formations yet.” With that, she looked at Ke Yan with a hint of apology.

Ke Yan didn’t really care about such things. “It’s fine. Just make sure you get our sister to bed safely.” She was still a little worried that something might happen to Liu Chuxia.

Xiao Xu nodded, then flashed away with Liu Chuxia to her room.

“To Hanyan’s place,” Liu Chuxia said weakly, her eyes tired.

“Hmm? So you two live together.” Xiao Xu flashed again to Li Hanyan’s room.

Then she gently placed Liu Chuxia on the bed.

Li Hanyan, who was reading, heard the noise, opened the door, and entered the room to see a pale-faced Liu Chuxia.

“What’s wrong?” She hurried to Liu Chuxia’s side, sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked Liu Chuxia’s pale face, her eyes filled with heartache and worry.

Xiao Xu explained the whole story.

Li Hanyan had her bring the ancient paper. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became. She angrily threw the ancient paper to Xiao Xu.

“Nonsense! Is a ghost more important than a person!” Li Hanyan looked at Xiao Xu with a face full of anger, a hint of blame in her eyes.

Xiao Xu was not happy to hear this. “I know you’ve always been wary of ghosts, but you can’t say that, can you? Ke Yan is not some heinous ghost. She even helps us with missions. Can’t you have a little trust in her for my wife’s sake? Besides, sister was the one who made the mistake.”

“Made a mistake, but not to the point of trading her life for a ghost’s. There are so many ways, why did she have to choose this one? Why didn’t you stop her? Your wife’s life is a life, but my wife’s life is not? You just stood by and watched?” Li Hanyan shouted at Xiao Xu in agitation.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xu knew that saying any more would be useless. And if she continued to talk to her, she might just take her sword and kill Ke Yan.

“Go and call Han Yu.” Li Hanyan had calmed down a bit now. She ordered Xiao Xu as she went to the bathroom to get a towel.

Xiao Xu pouted. Although she really didn’t want to go, she glanced at the pale-faced Liu Chuxia on the bed with her eyes closed and still reluctantly flashed downstairs. She picked up the phone and called Han Yu, briefly explained the situation, and then hung up.

Ke Yan looked at the unhappy Xiao Xu, walked over, and hugged her. “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Xu didn’t want to tell her about this, so she just shook her head.

Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Ke Yan didn’t ask any more questions and just held her, comforting her.

Jiang Jiajia came out of the elevator and clicked her tongue in wonder at their clinginess.

“How do they manage to stay together day in and day out? Don’t they get tired of it?”

Xiao Nian actually understood very well, but she didn’t dare to say it. Who told her that her wife was a career-oriented person? Love was just a spice in her eyes.

Jiang Jiajia walked to the front counter and said to them, “Hi! You two, we’re going out for a while. Please tell Hanyan later to interrogate the ghosts we caught.”

Xiao Xu frowned and said to her, “You can tell her yourself. I don’t want to talk to her right now.”

“Something’s not right. What’s going on?”

Just then, Han Yu came in from outside. Jiang Jiajia blinked her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.

“Dr. Han, why are you here?” Jiang Jiajia asked, walking up to her.

“Xiao Xu called me and said Xiaoxia’s face was pale and she was a bit weak, so she asked me to come and see what was going on,” Han Yu replied, giving her face.

Jiang Jiajia had no idea what had happened. She frowned and looked at Xiao Xu. “Why didn’t you tell me something happened to Chuxia?”

Then she quickly followed Han Yu into the elevator. When they got to Liu Chuxia’s room, they found no one. Then she knocked on Li Hanyan’s door and found out that Liu Chuxia was there.

Han Yu quickly walked to Liu Chuxia’s side, briefly examined her body, and turned to Li Hanyan. “Her divine soul is too tired. What happened? Although it’s nothing serious, if you’re not careful and her divine soul is damaged, she can forget about ever touching anything in this field for the rest of her life, and she might even lose her life.”

The moment Li Hanyan heard this, she directly picked up her sword and was about to go down and kill Xiao Xu.

Fortunately, Xiao Nian was quick and stopped her.

“Let’s talk about the situation first. What happened?”

Li Hanyan was held down by Xiao Nian and couldn’t move. She dropped her sword, sat on the sofa, and explained what had happened.

The more Han Yu listened, the deeper her frown became. “Isn’t this just nonsense! Who would use their life to save a ghost? Is she trying to give up her future? If Xiaoxia doesn’t know any better, doesn’t Xiao Xu know any better either?”

Jiang Jiajia said nothing. She couldn’t comment on such matters. Xiao Nian also remained silent.

“Dr. Han, is A Xia okay now?” Li Hanyan looked at Han Yu with red-rimmed eyes.

“It’s nothing serious, but she might have to sleep for about a week straight. During this time, she’ll need water, massages, and sponge baths. If she can’t eat, she’ll have to be on an IV drip,” Han Yu said as she packed her things. Then she took out a list and continued, “According to this list, feed her twice a day. It’s to soothe her divine soul. Remember, she needs to rest quietly these few days. Don’t disturb her here.”

“Okay, thank you, Dr. Han.”

The moment Han Yu left, Li Hanyan said, “Call them up. Let’s have a good talk in Xiao Xu’s room.”

Jiang Jiajia nodded in agreement, then went with Xiao Nian to call them up.

Li Hanyan explained the situation to them and then waited for their reaction.

Ke Yan had never expected Liu Chuxia to be so reckless to save her. She was at a loss for what to do. “I… I… why don’t I use that method to repay her?”

Xiao Xu quickly pulled her back. “I’m very grateful that sister did that. I’m also willing to take care of her these few days. But you can’t take Yanbao’s life so lightly. Besides, sister has already saved her. What more do you want? Do you have to kill Yanbao?”

“No. At least, Ke Yan was saved by Chuxia with her life. It would be a waste of Chuxia’s efforts to kill her,” Jiang Jiajia said.

“Then what do you want?” Xiao Xu looked at the group with some fear.

Li Hanyan said in a low voice, “Didn’t Master tell you to value A Xia’s life more than your own? Now you’re putting A Xia aside for an outsider?”

“I can give my life for sister, but Yanbao is more important to me than anyone else!”

“Say that again!” Li Hanyan raised her sword and was about to kill her, but was stopped by Jiang Jiajia.

Xiao Xu flinched, but still mustered the courage to say, “Yanbao is more important than anyone else.”
