The old wooden door made a familiar sound.
"We'll have to change the door later, make it wooden or... Ah, there's no future now."
After sighing, Qin Feng pinched his nose, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Unexpectedly, the dusty scene Qin Feng had imagined did not appear; instead, the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
"Is Grandma Wang cleaning? She hasn't been back for so long, but it's still spotless."
Granny Wang was the midwife in Qin Feng's mother's hometown village. She personally delivered Qin Feng's mother. Granny Wang, who had no children of her own, treated every child she delivered as her own. When Qin Feng's parents left, they gave Granny Wang the key, so it's understandable that she would come to clean.
However, after Qin Feng saw the luggage in the living room, doubts resurfaced in his mind. When he walked to the sofa and saw the boy lying on it—no, the girl Su Mumu—his doubts intensified to the extreme.
Why is someone living in my parents' marital home, which has been empty for almost ten years? And it's a girl I don't recognize. Wait, this girl looks familiar. Could it be that one of my relatives tricked Grandma Wang into moving in?
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was the truth. Then, thinking about how his relatives had acted after his parents died, he suddenly felt no liking for the girl in front of him.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Qin Feng bent down and shook Su Mumu awake, who was fast asleep.
"Who is it? What do you want?" Su Mumu opened her eyes in a daze and saw Qin Feng in front of her.
"Hey! You pervert! What are you doing in my house? Are you bullying me? Let me tell you, I'm not someone you can just mess with!"
Su Mumu instinctively grabbed her clothes and quickly retreated to the side, leaning against the sofa and warily watching Qin Feng.
"Your home! That's interesting. Tell me, how did this become your home?"
I've seen shameless people before, but this is the first time I've seen someone as brazen as Qin Feng. Does he really think that the Qin family's things are so easy to take?
"Huh? Why can't the house I rent be my home? It's clearly written in black and white on the contract. But who are you?"
Su Mumu was full of confidence. The contract was in her backpack. Even if the police came, Su Mumu wouldn't back down!
"Rented? Ha, who did you rent it from? My parents' wedding house? You rented it right after my parents died? You must have rented it from the King of Hell!"
Qin Feng became even angrier after hearing what Su Mumu said, and sneered, "You bunch of bastards, my parents treated you well when they were alive, and now that they're dead, you're all coming to exploit my inheritance?"
Hearing this, Su Mumu was also confused. What did her renting this place have to do with his parents? Now you have to check the landlord's ancestral home when renting a house?
Just as Su Mumu was about to speak, a sudden, intense pain caused her to almost lose consciousness for a moment, and she collapsed to the ground.
"No, you think you can get away with this by faking an accident? Let me tell you, I'm not falling for that."
Seeing Su Mumu lying on the ground with her face contorted, Qin Feng felt a pang of pity, but when he thought that she might be lying to him like this, he hardened his heart and ignored her.
Su Mumu wanted to ask Qin Feng for help, but the excruciating pain robbed her of consciousness, and she fainted after struggling for a moment.
Just as Qin Feng decided to test Su Mumu's situation, the old wooden door made a sound once again.
"Honey, why are you making such a loud noise so early in the morning? Did you run into some trouble?"
The person who walked in was Granny Wang, who had also rented the house to Su Mumu.
Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Feng stood up and turned around, only to meet Granny Wang's gaze.
The moment Granny Wang saw Qin Feng, she put down the vegetables she was carrying and walked shakily toward him.
"Wind, waaaaah, my poor Wind, you're so pitiful. Come here and let Grandma hug you. Why did your parents leave so early? My poor Wind has to suffer all this alone."
Qin Feng helped Granny Wang up, and Granny Wang grabbed Qin Feng's hand while wiping away tears with her other hand.
Hearing Granny Wang's cries, Qin Feng felt a sudden surge of injustice. Even blood ties can be corrupted by money, yet Granny Wang still held him as if he were still a child with his parents.
Just as Qin Feng was about to complain to Granny Wang, Granny Wang saw Su Mumu lying on the ground behind Qin Feng. She wiped away her tears and asked Qin Feng, "What happened to this girl? She's a poor child. Why is she lying on the ground?"
"Pity? Grandma, she's lying to you. I don't have such a relative. It's all made up. She was fine just now, but she suddenly collapsed on the ground. I don't even know if she's trying to scam me."
Qin Feng stopped Granny Wang, who wanted to check on Su Mumu's condition. There were no surveillance cameras or records here, so they could be blamed for anything that happened.
"Oh, what relative? I'm the one who let this kid stay here. A big girl like her can't find a place to live here. I figured you guys weren't staying here either, so I rented it to her. How could she be your relative!"
"Little girl can't sleep on the ground! She looks so thin and weak. Feng'er, go and help her up. She can't sleep on the ground!"
After hearing Granny Wang's words, Qin Feng seemed to understand the reason for the matter. Then, thinking of Su Mumu's seemingly genuine expression of pain, his expression became serious.
“Mother-in-law, something may have happened to this girl. You watch the house while I take her to the hospital.”
Su Mumu, who was unconscious, was rushed to the emergency room, while Qin Feng waited anxiously at the door of the emergency room.
Regardless of the circumstances, Su Mumu's incident happened in her own home, so it's impossible to just ignore it.
After a long wait, the light finally turned green, and a doctor wearing a mask came out. "Which of you is a family member? I need to write some things down."
Chapter 6 Su Zhexian (Revised)
Upon hearing what the doctor said, Qin Feng quickly went over.
"I'm her... a friend, so it should be okay, right?"
The doctor looked at Qin Feng suspiciously, but still didn't raise any questions.
"The patient has internal bleeding and some of the internal organs in the lower abdomen are displaced, so he needs to rest in bed. Of course, he can stay at home as long as he lies down."
Also, if the injuries on her body weren't caused by domestic violence, then she was probably beaten up by someone else outside.
"No, no, I only met her today, and I don't even know her name yet."
Qin Feng quickly distanced himself from the situation, as domestic violence is illegal and it wouldn't be so easy to resolve later. He couldn't let the doctor misunderstand.
If the doctor calls the police and I'm the only one home, it can't possibly be Grandma Wang who did it, right? I'll be the one in trouble!
The doctor looked at Qin Feng with suspicion, but Qin Feng had no choice. It was easy to prove that he knew someone, but it was difficult to prove that he didn't.
"The girl should be waking up soon. You can go wait by her bedside."
The doctor's gaze was still full of distrust as he left, and Qin Feng could only smile awkwardly as he saw the doctor off.
In the hospital room, Su Mumu, who had slept all night and then remained unconscious for the entire morning, quietly woke up. She immediately felt pain in her lower abdomen upon waking.
"What the hell is wrong with me? It hurts so much!"
Although the pain has disappeared now, the pain from that time still lingers in Su Mumu's mind, and the phantom pain keeps stimulating her.
"Damn it, where's that 'Big Smarty' who just stood by and watched me die? He's accusing me of trying to extort money, isn't he? If I see him again, I'll make him a millionaire!"
"I told you you were a liar, and you even admitted it yourself."
Qin Feng's voice came from beside the bed, and Su Mumu then realized that Qin Feng was right next to her.
"When did you arrive? At home or at the hospital? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Su Mumu clutched her clothes tightly, her teary-eyed appearance rather endearing.
As a boy, Su Mu was a handsome guy with a neutral and cute style, which is why no one ever doubted his identity as a girl when he dressed as a woman.
After transforming into a real girl, Su Mumu's face became an even more captivating charm, losing its slight angularity. Her already beautiful peach blossom eyes held a hint of tears about to well up, and her slightly reddened eye sockets added to her strong girlish appeal.
Qin Feng was stunned when he saw Su Mumu's eyes. Although peach blossom eyes are not uncommon, the fact that the pupils actually had a light pink hue like cherry blossoms was something he had never heard of before.
But Qin Feng felt that he had seen Su Mumu's eyes somewhere before.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
However, Qin Feng clearly chose the wrong time to say this, and he didn't even listen to what Su Mumu had just asked before speaking.
"So you're going to demonstrate how to pick up girls? No way, I don't want to be in a relationship, and I don't want to be friends with someone like you who wouldn't even help someone who's fallen down."
Su Mumu rubbed her stomach, feeling angry. How could anyone see how cute she was and not want to lend a hand? If it were Xiao Yang and the others, they would probably risk being set up to rush up and show off.
Perhaps Qin Feng realized that it was inappropriate to say such things in this situation, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem, well, this time it was indeed my fault. I didn't expect Granny Wang to rent out this room. My parents passed away a few months ago, and I mistook you for a distant relative who wanted a share of the inheritance."
"To express my apology, my lawyer will discuss with you the hospitalization expenses and compensation for Ms. Su, and I believe we will give Ms. Su a satisfactory result."
As for the house, you still have to move out. I'm living here myself now, and I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract.
"Your apology attitude is... Wait! I want to move out, no, no, no, I can't move out!"
Anyone who has experienced the pain of moving and finding a new place knows how difficult it is, especially in a place like P City where every inch of land is precious. It took Su Mumu a long time to find this place; other places were either ridiculously expensive or located on the other side of the city.
Su Mumu immediately felt wronged. Her already chaotic mood was further aggravated by this incident. Now, even the safe haven she had finally found was being taken away. Su Mumu felt abandoned by the world.
"Please don't make me leave! It's so hard to find a place to live near the No. 1 Middle School. I really have nowhere to go..."
Su Mumu felt desperate due to the grievances from various sources. Her small head hung down, and an aura of sadness emanated from her.
Unfortunately, this pitiful scene did not move Qin Feng. Qin Feng subconsciously felt that if he was not decisive, he would be entangled by Su Mumu for the rest of his life, so he firmly refused.
"Where you live is none of my business. I'm on the verge of bankruptcy and have no choice but to move back into this house. If you live here, where am I supposed to live?"
Qin Feng naturally couldn't be without a place to live; there were at least three or four empty rooms in this building. Qin Feng just wanted to get away from Su Mumu.
Su Mumu was speechless. Indeed, she couldn't ask Qin Feng to rent her the house. If he really had nowhere to live, Su Mumu couldn't expect Qin Feng to give her his own place to live.
Su Mumu bit her hospital gown sleeve in distress, looking pitiful and heartbreaking. Qin Feng just stood there, waiting for Su Mumu's response.
Suddenly, Su Mumu seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Qin Feng with anticipation.
"Hey, that room, doesn't it have two rooms? I can rent one room, and you can stay in the other one, right?"
Su Mumu raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Feng.
Her slightly red eyes, along with glistening tears, gave her a hazy, faint pink hue, making her appear somewhat ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After looking at it, Qin Feng felt that he was wavering.
King Zhou was willing to disrupt the court for Daji, and King You was willing to play with the army for Bao Si. It seems that every smile and frown of a beauty can disturb a man's heartstrings, let alone Su Mumu, who is now like a fairy descended to earth in Qin Feng's eyes.
Su Mumu had only been staring at Qin Feng for a short while when Qin Feng couldn't take it anymore. To prevent himself from making a strange expression, Qin Feng bit his lip after being stared at for so long.
Seeing his hesitation, Su Mumu assumed he still couldn't accept her suggestion, so she reached out and grabbed Qin Feng's clothes, gently shaking them twice.
"I can do chores. I can handle the laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Please let me stay here."
A deep sense of grievance welled up in his heart, and the tears in his eyes became even more glistening. Those eyes made Qin Feng even more unable to refuse Su Mumu.
"Okay, okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Qin Feng retreated, picked up his belongings, covered his nose, and walked out of the ward. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, something would inevitably leak out.
Have I really seen those eyes before? Qin Feng began to doubt; he couldn't recall ever seeing such a cute girl before.
Chapter 7 A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions (revised)
Qin Feng had only taken two steps when he ran into the doctor again.
"No, can't you understand what I'm saying? The patient isn't doing well right now, can't you spend more time with them?"
"But doctor, I really don't know her well..."
"I don't care if you're familiar with her or not, you're still more familiar with her than we are. If you hit someone, you should apologize properly and take care of them."
"But doctor, I didn't hit anyone..."
"If no one was hit, how come there's internal bleeding and organ displacement? Did the person have diarrhea to the point that their intestines came out?"
It just goes to show that being a doctor is indeed a highly educated profession. Qin Feng was once again scolded by the doctor and sent back to his ward.
"Why are you back again? Didn't you have something to do and were in a hurry to leave?"
After this brief respite, Su Mumu's condition has improved considerably; at least her eyes are no longer brimming with tears.
"It's alright, you're a patient, and I saw that you cancelled your appointment all by yourself, so I'll keep you company for a while."
Qin Feng couldn't very well say that he was rebuffed by the doctor, could he? That would be too embarrassing.
"Hey, I didn't realize you were such a nice person. I'll forgive you for not helping when you were in trouble."
Although Qin Feng hadn't done anything wrong, Su Mumu, as the person involved, still felt a bit resentful. However, since Qin Feng had put aside his work to be with her, she decided to forgive him.
"Aren't you afraid that I might have some other motive and am just making up an excuse?"
"It's alright. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. I'm already happy to have someone to chat with. Besides, you're wearing a suit, so the things you can turn down are probably quite important."
Qin Feng glanced at his suit. Although he hadn't changed it since he stayed up all night yesterday, he didn't explain.
"By the way, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do they look so familiar? Have we really never met before?"
"Huh? So you weren't flirting with me? With your playboy demeanor, I thought you were showing off your superb fish-raising skills."
Qin Feng touched his face uncertainly. Was it as smudged as Su Mumu said? He didn't feel anything.
"My eyes are pretty, aren't they? Although they are a lingering effect of an illness, it doesn't stop me from liking them very much."
“I used to have albinism. My parents took me to many places before they finally got me treated in J City. But my body pigment content is still lower than normal. The beautiful pink color in my pupils is actually the color of my blood vessels showing through.”
