Chapter Sixteen: The Nursing Woman

  After I got rid of those two people, there were no more small episodes on the way.

  I hugged A Li all the way to Love Bar.

  The bar was closed during the day. I sneaked in and met Xu Ying, Xu Yan's sister from yesterday.

  Xu Ying was still wearing yesterday's outfit, her curvaceous figure was extremely sexy and sultry.

  "Are you back?" Xu Ying turned her head and looked at me, saying slowly.

  Her tone was very flat, as if she were talking to a stone.

  "Yes." I nodded, "I'm back."

  "Ying Jie, where's Xiao Yan?" Ah Li jumped down from my arms and asked.

  "Don't call me Elder Sister Ying, I don't dare to be." Xu Ying shook her head indifferently, "She's upstairs."

  I noticed it since yesterday, there seems to be some estrangement between Xu Ying and Xu Yan, and today she has this attitude towards Ali, maybe there's really something going on among them.

  Ah Li didn't say anything else and climbed upstairs.

  I naturally followed Ah Liang upstairs.

  I reached Xu Yan's room door and knocked on it.

  The door opened and Xuyan walked out of the house.

  "You're finally back." Xu Yan's face looked a bit haggard. "A Li, how did you transform into your true form? Are you injured?"

  "It's nothing," Ah Li said. "I didn't get hurt much, just ran into a bit of trouble. Let's talk about it after we go inside."

  The raccoon dog said and ran into the room.

  I also squeezed in, wanting to follow him in. But at this time, Ah Li stopped me.

  "You don't have to go in," Ah Li said to me.

  "Why? My poison..." I said to Ah Li.

  "Xiao Yan, come." Ah Li ignored me and called Xu Yan into the room.

  Xu Yan took a glance at me and resolutely closed the door.

  "My god!"

  I cursed in my heart, but there was nothing I could do. After all, I didn't have the ability to walk through walls and couldn't enter this room.

  Helpless, I could only stand outside the door and wait.

  You promised to come back and help me suppress the poison, but now two people have run into the room, who knows what they're up to!

  I am full of resentment and hatred, gritting my teeth in anger.

  After waiting outside the door for more than half an hour, Ah Li and Xu Yan finally opened the door.

  "Come on in." Xu Yan smiled sweetly and said to me, "A Li has already put on her clothes."

  "Was I locked out for half an hour just to put on a dress?" I hummed.

  "Come on! Don't women always take a long time to get dressed?" Xu Yan said with a smile.

  "Women? You're not even human." I muttered to myself as I walked into Xu Yan's room.

  The raccoon dog sat on the bed, wearing a white dress.

  "Does it look good?" Ah Li teased me with a sentence.

  "Stop it." I really didn't have the mood to fool around with her, "Hurry up and help me suppress the toxicity."

  "Does it still hurt?" Xu Yan walked over and took a look at my shoulder.

  "My shoulder doesn't hurt anymore, but my hand hurts." I stretched out my hand and let Xu Yan take a look.

  "What's bitten you?" Xu Yan glanced at the back of my hand and asked me.

  "Ask her." I pointed at Ali.

  "A-Li, what's going on? You didn't bite him, did you?" Xu Yan frowned and asked A-Li.

  "Xiao Yan, what were you thinking? I'm so full that I'd rather tease your husband. This is a snake bite." Ah Li giggled and told Xu Yan the whole story.

  "Really?" Xu Yan nodded after hearing this, "A Li, you really have a way to suppress the snake venom?"

  "Detoxification won't work, but delaying the onset of toxicity is still possible." Ah Lie said, getting up from the bed.

  "Sit over here." Ah Li pointed to the sofa on the left side of the room.

  I walked over slowly and sat down obediently.

  "Take off your clothes." Ah Li ordered.

  "Take off your clothes? What are you going to do? If that's what it takes to detoxify, I'd rather die."

  "What are you talking nonsense about?" Ah Li scolded me with a spit, "I just took off your shirt, I'm just taking a look at your wound."

  "Oh, then you'd better speak clearly, you scared me." I hastily took off the T-shirt on my upper body.

  The raccoon dog stared at my wound for a while, then took out that snakeskin.

  "Xiao Yan, is there milk here?" Ah Li asked me.

  "Yes." Xu Yan nodded, "How? Want to use milk?"

  "Ah, bring me two packs of milk," said Ah Li.

  Xu Yan walked to the refrigerator, opened the fridge door, took out two packs of milk from inside and handed them over to A Lian.

  "I'll go get some medicine, you two lovebirds can have a good time first." Ah Li said with a smile to Xu Yan, and then took the milk and snake skin and walked out.

  The room suddenly had only me and Xu Yan left.

  I looked at Xuyan, and Xuyan looked at me, neither of us said a word.

  It wasn't until Ah Li brought back the medicine that the atmosphere in the room was no longer so awkward.

  "This is the medicine I prepared, apply it to the wound and it can delay the onset of the poison." Ah Li said to me.

  "What kind of medicine is this? Are you sure it's useful?" It concerns my life and death, so I naturally want to ask clearly.

  "It should be useful, let's treat a dead horse as if it were alive." Ah Li said with a yawn.

  "Alright." I nodded, also feeling helpless to the extreme. Under the current circumstances, apart from believing in A Lian's words, there was no other good way out.

  I took out the white ointment of Ah Li and applied a little bit to the wound.

  I don't know what ingredients this ointment is made of, but I can smell that there must be milk in it.

  How thick and creamy the milk is! What has she done to the milk?!

  Milk?

  Smelling this strong milk flavor, I remembered something very important.

  Is she a little girl who drinks milk?

  It's all over, it's all over.

  Did you forget to buy milk for the baby?

  What if she starves to death in my home?

  Isn't that finished?

  What should I say to the police? Will I be charged with murder?

  My goodness!

  I'd better get back quickly.

  I sprang up from the sofa.

  "Something's happened, something's happened." I exclaimed involuntarily.

  "What's going on?" Xu Yan and A Li also tensed up at the same time.

  "What? It's none of your business, something happened at my place." I let out a sigh, "Do you still have milk?"

  "Huh?" Xu Yan looked at me with a glance.

  "I'm talking about milk, do you still have milk here?" I explained again.

  Xu Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered: "There are some more."

  "I'll borrow some milk from you first." I said to Xu Yan.

  Xu Yan took out five bags of milk from the refrigerator and handed them over to me.

  "Alright, I'm going home." I said, holding the milk.

  "Aren't you afraid of getting poisoned?" Ah Li asked me.

  "Nothing will happen for now, right?" I was a bit worried.

  "You just come back quickly and everything will be fine." Ah Li said.

  "I'll be right back after I've dealt with this." I promised Alai and then turned around and ran out.

  Out of love, I ran all the way and finally arrived at the door of my home.

  Sweat had already broken out on my forehead. I wasn't particularly concerned about the life or death of that silly girl, but if she were to die in my house, it would be difficult to explain this situation between a bachelor and a young girl.

  What a hassle, it's really a big hassle.

  I hastily opened the door and looked inside.

  At this time, a sound of "ah" came from inside the door.

  I saw what was happening inside the door and let out an "ah" of surprise.

  My goodness! What is this thing? What are these two women doing?

  Yes, there are two women inside the door. One is naturally the idiot girl Bao Bao, and the other is...

  Another one is who I also don't know.

  But I can tell this woman is up to no good.

  Because her clothes were disheveled, exposing half of her chest, the lower half.

  The idiot girl's face is currently stuck on her chest...

  What's going on?

  I let out an "ah" and then I was stunned for a while.

  "You're back!" The silly girl Bao Bao lifted her face from the woman's chest and shouted at me.

  "Is this your father? He's quite young!" The woman also hastily covered her chest and turned to ask the baby.

  "Dad?" I looked at the woman in confusion, "Who are you?"

  "Oh." The woman stood up and introduced herself after I asked her that. "I'm your new neighbor across the street, my name is Liu Mei."

  "Oh?" I let out a long "oh", "So you're the new neighbor, huh? Wait, what's wrong with you? Why did you run into my house?"

  I took a glance at Liu Mei, she was still relatively young, just that her body had become somewhat plump, with a slightly chubby face and belly.

  "Last night I heard someone crying for milk in your room, so I came to take a look," Liu Mei said to me.

  "Oh, I see." I nodded, "Were you just breastfeeding her?"

  "Right? You call yourself a father, but you can't even take care of your own daughter, and now she's starving like this." Liu Mei scolded me.

  "Whose dad is he?" I was completely stunned, "Who's his dad?"

  "Aren't you Baby's father?" Liu Mei looked at me and then at Baby, asking.

  "Dad, good morning." The baby said with a big smile on his face.

  "Dad?" I blinked and walked over to Baobao, "What's wrong with you? When did I become your dad?"

  "I don't have a dad, so I'll consider you as my dad from now on." The baby said innocently.

  "But I'm so young, how can I be your dad? No one would believe it if you told them!" I said to the baby.

  "Why doesn't anyone believe me? Aunt Liu believes me." The baby pointed at Liu Mei who was sitting on the sofa.

  "Now that you're back, I'll leave the baby with you to take care of. I should get going too, and I'll come visit the baby again tonight." Liu Mei said with a smile.

  "Want to come back tonight? What does she mean? I'm a single man, you're a woman coming here at night, what's the big idea?"

  I stared at Liu Mei in astonishment, wanting to hear her explanation, but she walked out slowly with a nonchalant attitude.

  "Are you full?" I asked Bao Bao after Liu Mei left and I closed the door.

  "I'm full, Daddy. Liu Mei Auntie's milk is delicious, do you want to drink some?" The baby said with a mouthful of food, running towards me.

  I almost spat out the blood from my mouth. Is there anyone who talks like this? This idiot girl is really an idiot!

  "I brought some milk for you, but it seems like you don't need it either?" I tossed the several packs of milk I had brought to her.

  She picked it up and smelled it, then put it down again.

  "This milk is not good to drink." The baby shook his head, "I don't want to drink this kind, I want to drink the kind that Aunt Liu Mei has."

  "Why don't you just go with her then?" My eyes lit up, thinking this was a great opportunity to get rid of the guy.

  "No, I want Daddy." The baby showed another innocent and lovely expression.

  "I'm not your dad." I weakly patted my head. Just became a father of an egg, and now I've become the father of a silly girl? Is it popular to recognize fathers these days?

  "You're not my dad, but I've already recognized you as my dad. Aunt Liu said it's okay for me to recognize a father." The baby wiped the white milk from the corner of his mouth and said to me.

  "Can dad just recognize anyone? Liu Mei doesn't seem like a good person either." I muttered to myself.

  "Why can't I recognize it?" The baby asked me.

  "Because we are not related by blood, I am not your real dad." I felt a bit dizzy, "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this anymore, just remember from now on don't call me Dad."

  "Then I'll call you Daddy from now on." She continued to act cute.

  "Ah, Dry Dad?" The more I listened, the more I felt that this term was quite awkward. "No way, it's still not as good-sounding as 'Dry Father'!"

  "Then I'll call you grandpa." The baby said with great joy.

  I'm too lazy to argue with her about this matter anyway, I didn't plan on taking her out, at home, she can call me whatever she wants.

  "By the way, how did your clothes change into a woman's? There are no women's clothes here?" I noticed her attire and asked.

  "It was Aunt Liu Mei who brought them for me," said Baby. "She said I should wear these. These clothes are more comfortable than the ones you're wearing."

  "This is natural, you wear men's clothes and naturally feel uncomfortable." I said a sentence, "That Liu Mei aunt is very good to you."

  "Yes, she and your father are both good people." The baby commented.

  Good person?

  Hehe, this evaluation is quite fair too.

  I patted the baby's shoulder, smiled and walked to the bed, lay down on it.

  I've been busy all day, I'm tired too, it's time for a rest.

  But after I lay down in bed, I always feel like something is a bit off.

  It's nothing else, just about this Liu Mei thing.

  I feel something is off in my heart, as if I've overlooked something.

  Liu Mei? The new neighbor who just moved in?

  I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?

  Seems like there's still some impression left?

  Where is it? Where have I heard it before?
