The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 57

Chapter 57: Online Dating a Bad Beta

Tan Yicheng felt that Xi Congshuang had been getting stranger and stranger recently.

She had become trustworthy, but at this time, Tan Yicheng would rather she not be.

After saying in the morning that she would come in the afternoon, she really did come in the afternoon. Behind her was still the assistant with a smile in her eyes, and behind the assistant was a younger, more naive little follower.

She was also wearing a neat and formal suit, but her whole body was overflowing with youthful vitality. You could tell from her eyes that she had just graduated not long ago.

She was unbelievably clean, and her emotions were direct. She also smiled much more than the assistant.

Tan Yicheng suspected that after that night, not only had Xi Congshuang’s mind had some problems, but her facial nerves had also had some problems. She herself did not like to smile, but she had recruited some smiling employees to be around her.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Glorie wave at the intern and call her over. The two heads huddled together and muttered for a while.

The intern turned her head and, as expected, greeted her with a brilliant smile, “Good afternoon, Miss Tan.”

Tan Yicheng: “…Yes.”

She did not look anymore and turned to enter her own hospital room.

Xi Congshuang leaned against the sofa, her eyes lowered to the smart device’s page. Hearing the footsteps recede, a faint, imperceptible smile flashed across her lips.

Tan Yicheng was not the only one who had this thought. The nurse who often came to check on her had also discovered this.

The employer and the employee were two extremes. One did not like to smile, and the other loved to smile. Their smiles should be mixed and then evenly distributed, like a normal person.

Soon, Tan Yicheng had no time to care about the extra person in the hospital suite. She was constantly in and out, undergoing various examinations while her pheromone level was approaching a stable state.

Then she went to the doctor’s office and listened to a bunch of professional terms she couldn’t understand, her two eyes turning into mosquito coils.

She didn’t quite understand what medicine, what stability, what postponing surgery meant.

As a patient, she would only follow the doctor’s advice and do whatever the doctor told her to do.

Professor Wei said, “Considering the practical reasons, I will try my best to shorten the recovery period to within three months, and she will recover to her previous level in about half a year.”

Tan Yicheng’s spirits were lifted, and her hazy eyes became clear. She understood this sentence.

Professor Wei smiled gently, her blue eyes deep. “I remember you’re a mecha department student, right? You don’t have to worry about not being able to pilot a mecha in the future. I will cure you.”

Tan Yicheng, with a head full of assurances, returned to her hospital room in a daze.

She couldn’t be idle after she came back. The nurse brought her a large handful of medicine. She took it all with water without looking.

After thinking about it, her mind was restless. She wandered around the hospital room to digest this emotion.

Unconsciously, she wandered to the door of Xi Congshuang’s room.

Her room door was not closed but was ajar. From this angle, she could just see the figure sitting on the sofa.

The black suit from this morning had not been taken off. Her profile, with her rimless glasses removed, was serene. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, and she was concentrating on something.

The two assistants had already gotten off work, leaving their employer alone in the suite to continue to complete the work she had not finished during the day.

Future Pharmacy was large in scale and had a wide range of business. Even Xi Congshuang could not easily understand everything. She was used to having things in her own hands before making the next plan.

She did not know how strange she looked in the eyes of others. The person who was immersed in the vast and complicated information only felt that it was normal.

Her whole person exuded a rigorous elite aura, much more reliable than before.

Tan Yicheng stared at the person inside with a strange gaze. She even found it hard to connect the person in front of her with the person in the private room who had not hesitated to inject omega pheromones to disguise herself.

It was as if with this person’s rationality, she would not do such a thing.

She unconsciously looked at the smart device on her wrist. The person who had once wished she could live on the StarNet had become so slow in replying to messages, and her tone was also completely different.

If it weren’t for Xi Congshuang personally admitting that she was Xi Congshuang, Tan Yicheng would have suspected that she had mistaken her for someone else and that there was another hidden story.

In fact, there wasn’t. She was Xi Congshuang, the Xi Congshuang who had a room full of disguise medicine in her home’s dark room.

Then, Xi Congshuang began to project the screen. The screen on the left of the sofa lit up, and she continued to play the TV series she had not finished watching.

In the picture, the famous tear queen omega of the interstellar was crying to a handsome alpha, her voice soft and plaintive, crying her heart out.

“So what you said before was all a lie. You don’t believe me at all, but you’re willing to believe others’ words…”

The other party, faced with such a genuine display of emotion, showed a superficial sorrow. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a wooden reading, “I’ve always believed you. It’s you who has been lying to me. I can’t… I’m in so much pain. On one side is my family, and on the other is my lover…”

The omega in the dialogue gradually showed a heartbroken expression. Even a person with a heart of stone would not be able to help but empathize with her.

Xi Congshuang shook her head. “What a pity.”

Tan Yicheng thought that she had finally stopped being hostile to omegas, had changed her nature, and was about to be tender and protective.

Then she heard her say, “Such good acting, but this alpha can’t keep up. His emotions are all over the place. It’s hard to watch.”

The person sitting alone on the sofa let out such a sigh. She suddenly raised her hand and searched on her smart device. “So he was brought in with capital. The main actor O also owed the director a favor. What a waste of this script.”

Tan Yicheng: “…” I take back my previous feeling.

How is she reliable at all?

The red apple by Xi Congshuang’s side was shocked. “What! No wonder it was so hard for me to watch! So he was brought in with capital!”

“This alpha is a second-generation rich. His persona is that of a rich A who will have to go home and inherit the family business if he doesn’t act well. The way he hypes himself up is really timeless, and the effect is always good. He has a lot of fans.” Xi Congshuang continued to watch and shared the gossip she had found with the system.

She had invested in a film and television company before and had some understanding of this kind of hype.

The red apple was so angry that it spun around. “It’s fine if he was brought in with capital, but why did he have to add scenes? Isn’t that like pulling a millstone with a bare butt—losing face in circles?”

Xi Congshuang: “A person’s confidence and the sea are both immeasurable.”

The red apple flapped its wings. “Next, I’m going to watch and mosaic that alpha’s face.”

Bad acting was one thing. When you watched it alone, you could still persuade yourself to tolerate it. But when it was put together with superb acting, it was particularly uncomfortable, like a mouthful of chocolate and a mouthful of shit.

“Miss Tan?” A voice came from behind.

Tan Yicheng was startled.

One was because Xi Congshuang really hadn’t been lying. She had split personalities and was suspected of discussing the plot with her second personality.

The other was because she had been so engrossed in watching that she hadn’t heard someone approaching her.

She looked back and met the eyes of a puzzled young woman. She had a name tag on the pocket of her coat. She was from the hospital’s finance department.

The finance department: “?”

She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with me?”

A few seconds later, Tan Yicheng made way for her. The finance department employee walked forward with the things in her hand and knocked on the door.

The first time, there was no reaction from the person in the room. The finance department employee patiently knocked again.

Because of her position, Xi Congshuang’s right side was facing the door. She heard the sound from the door a beat later, paused the projection, and turned to look.

Tan Yicheng, who was after the finance department employee, met her gaze. The other party blinked, her gaze moved slightly, and she looked at the young woman.

Only then did Tan Yicheng remember that Xi Congshuang was deaf in her right ear. She couldn’t hear the movements on her right side and could only rely on her good left ear.

A new doubt arose. She had never heard that her hearing was a problem before. Could this also be related to the split personality she had mentioned?

“Are you looking for me for something?” Xi Congshuang asked.

The finance department employee walked in, handed the things in her hand to Xi Congshuang, and said something. Tan Yicheng had wanted to leave just like that, but she always felt that Xi Congshuang’s peripheral vision was on her.

Realizing this, Tan Yicheng’s feet paused. To leave just like that would make her seem very guilty. She walked in with a straight face.

The finance department employee said, “These are the documents you need to sign today. Please take a look.”

Xi Congshuang took them and saw that this thick stack of square white paper was all bills. Seeing the number in the corner, she fell into a subtle silence.

Her peripheral vision subconsciously glanced at the hesitant figure by the door.

For some reason, the figure who was about to leave really did stand still, as if she had made up her mind, and walked this way.

“…”

The finance department employee said, “These bills are all from today. Please see if there are any omissions. I will explain them to you on the spot.”

Xi Congshuang agreed, opened a drawer, took out a fountain pen, and looked at the bills one by one.

She had said that she would invite the doctor at all costs. She also knew that a good doctor was priceless, but the cost still exceeded her expectations.

The amount of the bills generated in just one day and one night was almost the same as the total of the three-year bills Xi Lianghan had signed. But Xi Congshuang did not feel that she was at a loss. She took off the pen cap and signed.

In the end, Tan Yicheng’s gland was injured because of ‘Xi Congshuang’. To be able to settle it with money was already the simplest way.

Compared to Xi Lianghan’s gloomy face in the conference room, Xi Congshuang could be said to be pleasant and even spent money like water.

The word “bill” caught Tan Yicheng’s attention. She pretended to be casual and walked to her side, looking down.

The first thing that caught her eye was the handwriting that fell from her pen tip. Her eyes lit up.

At this moment, Xi Congshuang was signing the bills one by one. Her handwriting was like a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix, like an iron painting and a silver hook. She had signed the bills as if she were signing a contract.

To be honest, Xi Congshuang was the person with the most beautiful handwriting she had ever seen. The evaluation of “the handwriting is like the person” was well-deserved.

Now that everything was paperless, and all basic operations could be completed with a smart device, who would still practice calligraphy? Most people could already be considered good if they could spell out their own names completely. It was difficult to be as fluent and beautiful as Xi Congshuang.

Only then did she see the accumulated amount in the corner of the bill. It was a long string of numbers that she couldn’t even count.

“…” So much money.

Professor Wei Lin was always relaxed and comforting, which made Tan Yicheng almost forget that she was a top doctor in the field of glands. Just her hiring fee was staggering.

Not to mention the subsequent treatment fees, which would add up to a considerable amount.

Tan Yicheng, who knew how much her medical expenses were for a day, fell silent. In comparison, Doctor Wei, who had taken the initiative to end the recovery period within three months, seemed exceptionally ethical.

If it were just her… she probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to see Doctor Wei.

“Collapse value -4. Current collapse value: 81.95.”

Xi Congshuang’s signing hand paused, and the last stroke was dragged out.

“Okay, I’ll take the bills back now. I won’t disturb you anymore.” The finance department employee bent down to collect the bills on the table and left quickly.

Xi Congshuang was finally free and spoke to Tan Yicheng, who was standing behind her. “Are you looking for me for something?”

It was almost evening, and the lights in the room had long been turned on. Her eyes, which were looking at her, were sparkling under the light.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

Tan Yicheng pointed to the window. “It’s dark.”

Meaning you should go home.

Xi Congshuang understood. “I forgot to tell you. I’m not going home these next few days. I’ll be staying at the hospital.”

Tan Yicheng had a bad feeling and couldn’t tell why she felt bad. “Why?”

Xi Congshuang: “Your unstable condition is very frequent. I’m not at ease. It’s very time-consuming to go back and forth every day. To avoid any neglect, I’ve decided… what’s with your expression?”

“…”

Tan Yicheng took a few steps back. “What’s with my expression?”

Xi Congshuang blinked, looking at her a few more times with novelty.

This gaze was as if it were tangible. Tan Yicheng’s heart skipped a beat, and she was inexplicably short of breath.

Tan Yicheng turned and left with a straight face, her speed very fast. “Anyway, you’re paying the room fee. It’s your freedom to stay as long as you want. It has nothing to do with me.”

With a click, the door that the assistants had forgotten to close was completely closed by Tan Yicheng.

The red apple said excitedly, “Major progress, major progress! It actually deducted four points of collapse value, four points.”

It repeated the same number over and over again, its electronic voice so excited that it was about to break. “You’re only 71.95 away from completing the mission. Victory is in sight!!”

Xi Congshuang: “…”

The red apple recalled just now, and the dog-headed strategist went online again, suggesting, “Since she only deducted the collapse value after seeing the bill, why don’t you spend more money on her?”

Maybe the heroine will be in a good mood and deduct the collapse value again. There’s hope of completing the mission in three years.

After some calm thought, Xi Congshuang said, “Okay.”

It was clear that both the person and the system had been tormented by the high collapse value and were trying to change their fate with money, to lower the heroine’s collapse value.

***

The red apple had thought that after that night, the mission speed would be a thousand miles a day. Not to mention ten in three days, or half in five days, at least one a day. It was also willing to do some elementary school subtraction.

But there was none. The collapse value remained frozen. Tan Yicheng, who was gradually devoting herself to treatment, was in no mood to think too much. Her hospital room was sealed off, and almost no one was allowed to visit.

The doctor said that her pheromones were unstable and that it was best to rest quietly. Xi Congshuang could only look in through the observation window. After nearly a month, the collapse value was still at 80.

It was still a terrifyingly high number, but having been used to a collapse value of over 90, and with Xi Congshuang’s calm and composed appearance, the red apple actually felt that it was okay.

So it learned from its pain and advised itself not to slack off, and passed this advice on to Xi Congshuang.

Xi Congshuang was very innocent. “But I listened to your suggestion and spend money on Tan Yicheng every day. Look at this bill. A high-level executive has already asked me if I’ve been a bit too much recently.”

The red apple: “…” That’s true.

The bills were a thick stack every day, and she spent money like water. Xi Congshuang signed them without blinking.

If this doesn’t work, what else can she do? Does she have to take the route of sending warmth again?

No, no, no. The last time she sent warmth, this love-struck person went straight to her head and refused to leave. But this time, it might be different. The heroine doesn’t seem to be Xi Congshuang’s type…

This is really too difficult for the system.

The two of them, who were both busy, did not know that the rumors about them were rampant. For example, the major shareholder had spent a fortune to treat her beloved alpha, never leaving her side. And for example, the alpha only loved betas and not omegas, and was stressed by all omega pheromones, only allowing the major shareholder to be by her side.

In fact, the real reason was that Tan Yicheng was stressed by all pheromones except her own, whether it was an alpha or an omega. It just so happened that the person she had smelled was an omega.

Besides, Xi Congshuang’s always-cold hands were indeed a good way to cool down. They were not too cold to make the gland hurt, nor too hot to have no cooling effect.

All of this, no one had thought to explain to outsiders—and no one dared to gossip in front of the real person.

During this period, Xi Congshuang had looked up the major events that had happened three years ago, which was the matter of Xi Congshuang’s parents’ accidental death.

The parents, who were on a trip, had been hijacked by space pirates on a spaceship. During the hijacking, the parents’ performance was a textbook case of self-rescue. They were very careful not to reveal their identities, to prevent the space pirates from making a big deal out of it, or asking for a huge ransom, or killing them.

But they still died. The ship and everyone on it were blown into space debris, along with the space pirates on the ship.

This kind of vicious incident was not unheard of, nor was it an isolated case. Space pirates themselves were so inhumane and often plundered the federation’s resource ships and omegas.

It seemed that this couple had just died because they had been on a whim trip and had unfortunately run into space pirates during a warp jump.

So the federation had always detested these reckless space pirates. These people had long since deviated from the initial spirit of resisting the White Tower and had instead fallen into more radical practices. The real resisters had long since passed away in the long years, and the rest were just desperate people who were struggling to survive.

A few days after looking up this matter, Xi Lianghan sent a message to Xi Congshuang, reminding her that the anniversary of her parents’ death was coming soon and asking her if she wanted to go and see them together.

Xi Congshuang agreed. It was what she should do, both emotionally and rationally.

The night before she left, she went to Tan Yicheng’s hospital room and asked by the bed, “I’m going out for a trip. Is there anything you want? I’ll bring it back for you.”

Tan Yicheng sat on the bed and thought for a long time. She rarely showed a big reaction to Xi Congshuang’s appearance and just said, “Tomorrow is my birthday. Bring me a piece of cake when you come back, blueberry flavor.”

Xi Congshuang was stunned, as if a hidden memory deep in her mind had been touched.
