He's not crazy

  Xu Shiwei's face was full of surprise, as if he hadn't expected his mother to hit him. Actually, I didn't expect it either. Looking at Xu Shiwei's mother's facial features, she belonged to the kind that looked very gentle and didn't seem like a woman who would hit people.

  I was startled by Xu Shiwei's mother, thinking that this is their family affair, I couldn't intervene, so I just stood there stupidly watching. Xu Shiwei's mother's face didn't look good either, she touched her hand and remained silent for half a second before suddenly saying to me: "Miss, come out with me."

  Damn it, what did his mother ask me to go out for? Won't she think of killing me to silence me?! Just now I saw her conversation with Xu Shiwei and knew that she must also be a formidable character, only slightly down on her luck in recent years. However, even if she's down on her luck, it would still be easy for her to get rid of me first.

  Although I didn't want to go out with her, I had no choice but to go out with her. Actually, I was curious about what she wanted me to do outside. They say curiosity kills the cat, my curiosity is even heavier than a cat's.

  So I followed Mrs. Xu Shiwei out of the door, and when we reached the entrance, Mrs. Xu Shiwei looked back at Xu Shiwei with a worried expression, then gently closed the door, walked through the corridor, entered the elevator, and finally got off the floor before asking me: "Miss, what's your name?"

  "Lin Sixia." I answered truthfully, thinking there was no need to hide anything. If she really wanted to investigate me, even if I didn't say anything, she would still find a way to get the information out of me, so I might as well be honest.

  Xu Shiwei's mom changed her serious face and said kindly: "Is it Si Jia? This child, Xu Shiwei, has never gotten along with his dad since he was little. His dad has always not been very supportive of him doing that line of work, but he has always wanted to do it." She paused for a moment, looked at me and asked: "I see he didn't avoid telling you what he said earlier, so you know what he does, right?"

  I nodded: "Uh-huh... I see." In fact, all I knew was that he was my great-grandfather's generation. As for what kind of work he did, according to what Xie Shouwei's mom said, I privately thought it was something like a feng shui master, but of course, I wasn't certain either, so I had to keep listening to Xie Shouwei's mom.

  Xu Shiwei's mother, although already middle-aged, didn't look old at all. If it weren't for the look in her eyes, I would have thought she was only in her thirties. She let out a long sigh and said worriedly: "You know... you're still with him."

  Listening to her tone, I won't really think that I have any relationship with Xu Shiwei, right? I quickly explained: "I'm just an ordinary friend of his, and recently I've been unemployed, temporarily living here, and helping him cook in exchange for rent..."

  But before I could finish speaking, Xu Shiwei's mother interrupted me, revealing a warm smile as she patted my shoulder and said: "Si Jia, don't be afraid, I didn't call you out here for anything else. And as for Shiwei's dad, although his mouth is a bit vicious, he doesn't have any ill intentions. After getting to know him better, you'll understand. Shiwei, this child, has a similar temper to his father and is also very stubborn. I've told him before not to get involved in this line of work, but he refused to listen. Now, all sorts of inexplicable things keep finding their way to our doorstep. Yes, most of my spiritual power disappeared because I helped his father, but if it weren't for him provoking those things, my spiritual power wouldn't have been depleted so quickly, and Shi Jie wouldn't be so foolish either. So, if possible, I hope you can advise Shiwei, after all, this isn't a long-term solution. We're human, and we can't defeat those things in the end. Five years ago, if he hadn't gone to provoke them, we wouldn't have invited disaster, fortunately, his life wasn't meant to be cut short, and he didn't die in that car accident.

  Although I didn't fully understand what Xu Shiwei's mother said, I could tell that she was doing it for Xu Shiwei's own good and was just afraid that Xu Shiwei would get into even bigger trouble and put his life in danger.

  Ge Fei's matter I will continue to investigate, so Xu Shiwei will definitely follow up on it too, after all, that thing also endangers his personal safety. However, looking at his mother's reaction, he seemed not to have told her about the Shiguiling thing. I lowered my head and silently nodded for a while, with a guilty conscience, replied: "Okay, I'll try."

  Seeing me nod in agreement, Xi Wei's mom seemed to breathe a sigh of relief "She's really an understanding girl."

  I was already feeling guilty, and now that Shi Ywei's mom has said this, I'm even more guilty. She's being so kind and gentle now, but who knows what she'll be like later? After all, it's said that a woman's heart is the most poisonous, so I'd better be careful.

  "Alright, I'll stop here. My dad is waiting for me outside." She said to me as we walked together to the entrance of the neighborhood.

  I nodded, with a obedient girl's expression: "Okay, you go slow." On the way back, I was getting more and more entangled in my thoughts. Should I tell Xu Shiwei or not? His mother was actually doing it for his own good, poor parents' hearts. Forget it, I'll just tell him, otherwise I'd suffocate from keeping it inside and die of guilt. But how do I bring it up with him? He's not Ge Fei, we're not even close, some things are hard to say.

  I was thinking about how to tell him when I arrived at the door, which was ajar from when he came out earlier. I pushed it and it opened.

  When I went in, Xu Shiwei was still sitting on the sofa, only changing his posture and restoring his previous nonchalant appearance, with a frighteningly dark face.

  "What did your mom say to you?" As soon as I closed the door, Xu Shiwei got up from the sofa and walked over with a serious expression, wearing slippers.

  I fell silent for two seconds, then looked up at him: "Actually, your mom is also doing it for your own good, don't blame her. She's also afraid that something will happen to you, so she took action against you today."

  "Did she ask you to come and speak for her?" Xǔ Shì Wéi's eyebrows rose, his eyes icy enough to freeze people to death. Apparently, he was very unwilling to bring up these matters.

  I spread out my hands: "Although I don't quite understand what's going on, I didn't mean to persuade you, I just helped your mother pass on a message. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."

  Xu Shiwei was originally very serious, but suddenly changed his face, and his words were sharp and harsh: "It is said that the most poisonous thing in the world is a woman's heart, and it seems to be true. You are staring at me with eager eyes, waiting for me to die soon, so your Ge Fei will come back, right? However, you're thinking too much, even if I die, he won't come back."

  Although I've been busy with Ge Fei's affairs all day, I tried my best not to think about the fact that Ge Fei left. But now he suddenly mentions it so bluntly, and the pain in my heart rushes up all at once. It's unbearable, but no tears fall, so I can only glare fiercely at Xu Shiwei.

  "What are you staring at? Want to hit me? Come on! Come on!" At this moment, Xu Shiwei was like a madman, shouting at me while beckoning with his fingers.

  Every time I mention Ge Fei, I get agitated and immediately punch him in the left face. Xu Shiwei didn't expect me to actually hit him, so he was stunned for half a second before dramatically covering his left face, gritting his teeth in pain, and wailing: "You vicious woman, you really dare to hit me! Ahh, it hurts so much I'm going to die!"

  I glared at him fiercely, imitating the tone of Stephen Chow in "The Ninth-Ranked Civil Servant": "I've never seen anyone make such a request my whole life!"

  Xu Shiwei was so angry with me that he couldn't take it anymore, gritting his teeth and staring at me. He wanted to hit me, but as a man, he felt it would be unbecoming of him to strike a woman. In the end, all he could do was glare at me, saying in a slow and deliberate tone: "What kind of woman are you, anyway? You're not even acting like one. Your methods are really too ruthless."

  I smiled with a hint of ferocity and replied: "I am an enemy you have wronged, don't you know that I will surely take revenge?"

  Xu Shiwei was like a volcano about to erupt, and finally he exploded: "You think I'm afraid of you? I'm still a fierce man! Do you believe I can bite you to death with one mouthful?"

  As he spoke, he rushed over. Damn it! He wouldn't really bite me, would he? They say men hitting women is unbecoming, but they never said men biting women is unbecoming, so he can abandon his male dignity to bite me to death.

  I saw him really coming over, scared and rushed into the bedroom, before he could rush in, I slammed the door shut with a bang, then immediately locked it, didn't he still have the key? Can't let him rush in.

  It turns out that I was really a bit stupid, and I actually forgot that he had the Lingkong ring. As soon as I locked the door, I turned around and saw Xu Shiwei standing in front of me, scaring me so much that I lost my balance for a moment and fell to the ground with a thud. The injury on my foot was quite serious to begin with, and after the exertion from running around all day, it seemed to have gotten even worse. Before, I hadn't felt any pain, but now it hurt all the way to the bone. This feeling... it seemed like the wound had split open again.

  Xu Shiwei originally reached out to grab me, just like grabbing a dead dog, but after stretching out his hand, he ended up supporting me instead. Frowning, he said: "What's wrong with you? Don't you know it hurts? You're injured so badly and yet you don't say anything? Looking at you like this, people who don't know the truth would think I'm abusing you!"

  "I'm fine." I was still fuming just now, but now I only feel very embarrassed. Besides Ge Fei, I don't like other men getting so close to me, even if it's a Xie Shi Wei who looks exactly the same as him. Of course... that previous kiss was an accident.

  While speaking, I pulled open Xu Shiwei's hand. As soon as I opened it, he put it back on and stretched out his other hand to open the door behind me. What is he doing? Before I could react, he suddenly picked me up horizontally and rushed out of the bedroom in a hurry. In a low and solemn voice, he said: "What's nothing, your foot has become like this, you've been walking outside all day, I'm telling you, if you don't go to the hospital now, your foot will be crippled. Do you really think it's okay with just applying some ointment?"

  "I'll go myself..." I tried to struggle out of his arms, after all it's not comfortable being hugged by an unfamiliar man. When Ye Jingchen hugged me like that day, I felt uncomfortable too.

  Xu Shiwei has one thing in common with Ge Fei, that is his overbearingness. When he gets into that state of mind, it's as if the whole world has to listen to him. The way he's staring at me now, it's clear what he's saying: "Those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish."

  In the end, I was forced to swallow back the words that were on the tip of my tongue. The place where Xu Shiwei lived was still very convenient after all. Not long after leaving the residential area, we arrived at the hospital. In the end, following the doctor's advice, they decided to have me stay in the hospital for a few days. I was naturally very unwilling, wouldn't this delay things?

  At over 10 o'clock at night, I lay on the hospital bed and said to Xu Shiwei with great energy: "Look... I'm fine, why am I staying in the hospital?"

  "You think that's nothing? Are you waiting for your legs to be crippled before you consider it a big deal?" Xǔ Shì Wéi said with annoyance, sitting on the chair next to him with her legs crossed.

  "Who!" He was still talking to me, when he suddenly shouted out this sentence, scaring me. I thought he had gone mad, but when I turned my head, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the door... no! A middle-aged male ghost! I was so scared that I grabbed onto Xu Shiwei: "I... isn't that Shunzi? He... hasn't he gone crazy?"
