The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 24p1

Chapter 24p1: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 24

The wrinkled pajamas were smoothed down. The door clicked shut. Xi Congshuang had already left, leaving behind only a few instructions and her unique scent.

Cheng Zhishu took out her long-forgotten phone, which was filled with messages from Shangguan Yin.

Only now did she have the chance to reply to Shangguan Yin’s questions. After answering them one by one, she also informed her that the others would be expelled.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Zhishu typed: How did you get my sister to come?

When it came to this, Shangguan Yin had a lot to say. She directly sent several long voice messages.

[Little Grass Yin Yin]: It’s simple. I shouted at my phone, “Siri, call my sister,” and it dialed the number. I was afraid she wouldn’t answer, but she picked up instantly.

[Little Grass Yin Yin]: After she answered, I wasn’t sure if it was Xi Congshuang on the other end. Then she directly asked me why I had your phone and told me to speak.

[Little Grass Yin Yin]: I was so scared. You don’t know how terrifying her tone was, as if I had kidnapped you.

[Little Grass Yin Yin]: (Beagle crying.jpg)

Cheng Zhishu lay on the bed, her face buried in the soft pillow. The phone was tossed aside, its screen still lit up, displaying the text transcription of Shangguan Yin’s words.

She stared at the screen for a while, then couldn’t help but laugh. She buried her entire face in the pillow, her happiness irrepressible.

After waiting for a long while without a reply, Shangguan Yin couldn’t help but send a message.

[Little Grass Yin Yin]: Where are you? Where did you go? Why aren’t you talking?

She didn’t know that on the other side of the screen, Cheng Zhishu, who had changed into her pajamas, had already fallen asleep, a smile still on her lips.

At the same time, Xi Congshuang, who was on the phone with Chairman Xi, saw a red apple flash before her eyes.

It flapped its wings and congratulated Xi Congshuang, “Congratulations. The heroine’s collapse value has decreased by 2.”

“Current collapse value: 22.”

Xi Congshuang’s eyes fell on it. Her slender fingers held the phone as she spoke to the other end, “Yes, I’ve thought it through. I don’t want to continue being depressed. I want to shift my focus.”

“Even if my legs can’t walk, I don’t want to be confined to a wheelchair forever.”

Her tone was clearly lonely, but her eyes told a different story.

The red apple landed on the table in front of her, next to the silver-gray laptop. “Resolving the heroine’s psychological trauma is indeed a very good approach. It has been recorded in my database.”

“As expected of an elite. To even think of this.”

Chairman Xi was always busy, but overall, she cared a lot about Xi Congshuang. Her other juniors were all left to their own devices, not receiving much attention.

Every time Xi Congshuang went out, the news would be reported to Chairman Xi. This was the second time she had gone out because of Cheng Zhishu, which made her curious, so she called personally to ask.

The other end of the phone seemed to say something.

Xi Congshuang’s brow furrowed. She stared at the red apple and replied, “I won’t. I’ll handle my emotions well.”

“Yes, Grandma. I was indeed unhappy about what happened tonight. I don’t want to just let it go so lightly. Are you going to try to persuade me, Grandma?”

The call between the two wouldn’t end so easily. The red apple, finding itself bored, rolled around on the laptop, back and forth.

Then it quietly disappeared, leaving a light scratch in Xi Congshuang’s heart.

The two talked for half an hour. After hearing Xi Congshuang’s plan, the call finally ended.

It was already late, close to twelve o’clock. Wenhai Hall was quiet inside and out.

Xi Congshuang stared at the computer screen for a long while, her gaze shifting to where the system had disappeared. After a long pause, she raised her hand and closed the computer.

Just as she had told the system, she could handle her own emotions, as always.

And this reason was indeed very suitable. Chairman Xi had believed it without a doubt, telling her: No matter what the reason, as long as she was willing.

In the early morning, Cheng Zhishu got up, washed up, and went downstairs. Someone was already sitting at the dining table.

She rubbed her eyes and saw the person sitting there clearly. It was really Xi Congshuang.

Cheng Zhishu said in surprise, “Sister? You’re up so early.”

Xi Congshuang replied, “I have some things to do recently. I need to finish my rehabilitation early and then get busy. Don’t just stand there. Come and eat with me.”

Cheng Zhishu put her schoolbag aside. The exam had just ended yesterday, so there wasn’t much homework. The schoolbag was light.

Walking to Xi Congshuang’s side, she bent down and sat down. The loose collar of her school uniform drooped, revealing a section of her beautiful and delicate collarbone.

Xi Congshuang glanced at it and saw that her neck was bare. After a moment’s thought, she remembered that Cheng Zhishu’s neck had always been bare; she had never worn that necklace.

She remembered Xi Hanran mentioning that No. 1 High didn’t restrict students from wearing accessories, as long as they weren’t too flashy.

Xi Congshuang asked, “Why aren’t you wearing that necklace?”

Cheng Zhishu subconsciously touched her neck, which was empty. Only then did she realize, “The clasp on the silver chain is broken. I haven’t had a chance to get a new one, so I haven’t been wearing it.”

Xi Congshuang asked, “Broken?”

Seeing Xi Congshuang’s curiosity, she took the initiative to take out her pencil case from her schoolbag, found the necklace, and pointed to the clasp. “It’s here. It’s a bit deformed and won’t close. I was afraid I would lose it if I wore it, so I haven’t been.”

The precious necklace was displayed in front of her by Cheng Zhishu herself. She leaned over curiously to look, their heads almost touching.

Cheng Zhishu fiddled with the clasp, which was still loose. “My grandma got this for me from a temple when I was little. It’s actually just a worthless piece of Hetian jade, bought for a few hundred yuan at the time, but I really like it.”

She still remembered the origin of this necklace.

At that time, her younger brother had already been born. Her adoptive mother had bought a gold lock for her brother to wear around his neck and posted a picture on her social media. Her grandmother had seen the picture and had come home the next day with a necklace, saying it was a gift for Cheng Zhishu.

Recalling the past, a smile appeared in Cheng Zhishu’s eyes. “My grandma also said that I should have what others have. She spent a long time choosing this peace buckle, hoping that I would be safe and sound.”

Reaching out to hold the broken clasp, Xi Congshuang lifted the necklace to look at it. This necklace had been worn close to Cheng Zhishu’s skin for a long time, touched countless times, and had already become lustrous.

The necklace was placed back in Cheng Zhishu’s hand. Xi Congshuang said to Cheng Zhishu, “It’s a very beautiful necklace.”

After Cheng Zhishu left, Xi Hanran arrived late, rubbing her eyes and asking, “Why are you up so early? Is there any breakfast? I’m hungry.”

Little Liu stepped back with a medicine box. Xi Congshuang said, “You’re unlucky. There’s no breakfast left. I’ll have someone make you something. Didn’t they prepare breakfast for you at Wencan Hall?”

Xi Hanran laughed. “It’s too disgusting. I can’t eat it.”

Seeing Little Liu come over, she called out, “Just get me some congee and a few side dishes. If there are any fried dough sticks, get me some too.”

There was a chef in the kitchen. It was just a matter of a word from Little Liu. She agreed and went to get busy.

Xi Hanran didn’t have Xi Congshuang’s habit of not speaking while eating. She talked to Xi Congshuang as she ate. “Are you really not planning to go back to the company?”

To be honest, when Xi Congshuang was not around at first, Xi Hanran had felt relieved, as if nothing could stop her. But ever since she heard that she had adopted her cheap brother’s adopted daughter, she couldn’t help but come and take a look.

After that, as if possessed, she didn’t want her to stay here alone, always feeling that it was a waste.

She wasn’t abusing a disabled person, but she just felt from the bottom of her heart that… Xi Congshuang shouldn’t be like this.

Xi Congshuang was looking at the news on her tablet. “I plan to.”

Xi Hanran said, “Seeing you do nothing at home every day, don’t you feel… wait, what did you say?”

Without looking up, Xi Congshuang swiped the screen with her fingertip. “I said I plan to go back to the Xi Corporation.”

“…”

A sudden silence. Xi Congshuang looked up, and Xi Hanran hesitated several times. “You… you’re not because of… what happened yesterday, are you?”

Xi Congshuang didn’t deny it. Anyway, this was the reason she had given to Chairman Xi.

For some reason, Xi Hanran rubbed her arms, a strange expression on her face. “Ew—I really can’t stand you.”

Xi Congshuang: “?”

What’s wrong with her?
