1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

More than ten minutes later, at the obstetrics ward of Canglan County People's Hospital.

As Lin Shuisheng entered the ward where Ye Wanqing was, he saw a woman in her early twenties lying on the bed next to Ye Wanqing's, excitedly chattering away.

"Sister, let me tell you! We women need to have a son to stand tall and be respectable."

Like me, I had a son as my first child last year. My husband is so good to me. If I ask him to go east, he won't dare to go west. If I ask him to chase the dog, he won't dare to catch the chicken.

And my mother-in-law, she took such good care of me during my postpartum period, she was so considerate, I didn't dare say a single harsh word to her.

Unlike you, your husband abandoned you at the hospital and ran home right after you gave birth, without taking care of you at all.

And your mother-in-law is really something. It's already past 1 p.m. and she hasn't gone to get you any food. She's also not giving you a very nice look.

But that's understandable, considering you had two children in a row who both died young!

If you ask me, you'd better try to think more positively. Don't make a scene, or you'll end up hurting yourself...

"Yes, I know."

Ye Wanqing lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, and hugged the child tightly.

She woke up early this morning and kept looking at the ward door from morning until noon, but she didn't see Lin Shuisheng come over.

This made her wonder if Lin Shuisheng didn't want to come see her anymore because she had given birth to a baby.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Cai Jinhua suddenly looked straight at the door of the ward, her eyes sparkling.

Ye Wanqing looked up and saw Lin Shuisheng standing tall at the door of the ward, carrying a basket full of lunch boxes and soup buckets, looking at her with heartache in his eyes.

"Ah Shui, you...you're here?"

Her voice carried a hint of disbelief.

"Ah Shui?"

When Cai Jinhua heard Ye Wanqing address Lin Shuisheng, her eyes widened in surprise.

No, you didn't say your husband looks that appetizing!

"Yeah, I had something to do this morning, so I'm late. Were you waiting long?"

Lin Shuisheng strode into the ward, placed the basket on the table, and did not visit Cai Jinhua at all.

"No, go ahead and do what you need to do. I have my mother to take care of me."

Ye Wanqing shook her head, her gaze fixed on Lin Shuisheng, and she didn't even see Shi Nansheng who followed her in.

"Ah Qing, congratulations!"

Shi Nansheng walked to the bedside, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, her gaze towards Ye Wanqing somewhat complicated.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Wanqing turned to look at Shi Nansheng, a look of confusion on her face.

"What? You don't even recognize your old classmates anymore?"

Shi Nansheng raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly sharp.

"You...you're Ah Sheng?"

Upon hearing the words "old classmate," Ye Wanqing looked at Shi Nansheng's bright and elegant face, and suddenly realized something, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Ha! I thought you'd forgotten about me!"

Shi Nansheng chuckled, walked over and placed the malted milk powder and fruit on the table, then sat down beside the hospital bed.

"You...what brings you here?"

Ye Wanqing glanced at the malted milk powder and fruit, but didn't rush to say anything polite. She simply hugged the child tighter.

"I happened to run into Ah Shui in town, and then I heard that you had a baby, so I came with him to visit you."

Shi Nansheng did not hide anything or embellish anything; she simply recounted what had happened.

"It must have been four or five years since we last met! It's so kind of you to still think of me, thank you!"

Ye Wanqing glanced at Lin Shuisheng, then forced a smile at Shi Nansheng.

Others might not know, but she did know that Shi Nansheng's attitude towards Lin Shuisheng had always been quite different.

Shi Nansheng had told her that he considered Lin Shuisheng a brother, but she only found out later, after she got together with Lin Shuisheng, that he didn't.

"It's only right. We're all old classmates. Out of all the girls in our class, you were the kindest to me. You don't need to be so polite."

Looking at Ye Wanqing's gentle and beautiful face, and the charm of a married woman emanating from her, Shi Nansheng smiled on the surface, but felt a little depressed inside.

No wonder Lin Shuisheng said Ye Wanqing was prettier than her without even thinking!

Ye Wanqing is really beautiful!

"And you dare say that! Back then, you were such a tomboy, always following Ah Shui around. Other girls never had a chance to be nice to you!"

Ye Wanqing tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Back then, the reason she was kind to Shi Nansheng was because Lin Shuisheng had influenced her.

Furthermore, because of Shi Nansheng's presence, she and Lin Shuisheng had far fewer opportunities to spend time alone together.

"Yes! That's why I should come and see you even more."

Shi Nansheng nodded, looking at Ye Wanqing with a completely calm expression, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

She even has some regrets now, regretting that she just followed behind Lin Shuisheng instead of bravely standing by his side.

"These things are too valuable, I can't accept them. Please take them back and return them!"

Ye Wanqing reached out and grabbed the brown paper bag containing malted milk powder, wanting to return it to Shi Nansheng.

However, before she could pick up the things, Shi Nansheng pressed down on her arm.

"Ah Qing, don't you consider me a classmate?"

"No, I just think this thing is too expensive..."

Ye Wanqing was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly tried to explain.

However, before she could finish speaking, Shi Nansheng interrupted her.

"Alright, it's just two cans of malted milk powder! Your husband earned enough today to buy hundreds of cans. If you don't accept them, it means you're looking down on me."

"Tch, he doesn't even think before he talks."

When Cai Jinhua heard Shi Nansheng exaggerate so much, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Although her voice wasn't loud, there was only one hospital bed between them, so who couldn't hear her?

"Who are you? What business is it of yours what we're talking about? Why are you so nosy?"

Shi Nansheng stood up abruptly, looking at Cai Jinhua with a cold face.

When she entered the ward, she had already heard Cai Jinhua making sarcastic remarks. Later, seeing that Lin Shuisheng didn't say anything, she barely managed to hold back her outburst.

Now that she's talking to Ye Wanqing, Cai Jinhua interrupts again. Does she really think she's doing all this work as a nurse at the city's central hospital for nothing?

"Hey! You're the one bragging, and you won't let anyone else say it? Earning several thousand dollars in just one day? You're kidding me!"

Cai Jinhua's eyes widened, and she sat up abruptly, staring at Shi Nansheng and shouting loudly.

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Ye Wanqing and, feigning kindness, offered a reminder:

"Sister, I'm not trying to be mean, but you need to be more careful with your eyes, or you might get fooled."

And look at her, all dressed up, and she came with your husband. Who would believe there's nothing going on here?"
