âHave you all still been unable to get Fu-shao to eat anything yet?â Appearing out of nowhere, the doctor spoke calmly as he ignored the tense atmosphere. âItâs already been three days yet he hasnât eaten a single thing. If this keeps up, I suggest you start preparing the funeral.â
After saying that, the doctor left without giving anyone enough time to react. If you observed carefully, you would discover that the doctor seemed to be escaping. âBeing a doctor is difficult too, you knowâŠ
I mean, just look at the people who came to visit this patient! They all look like theyâre about to go on a killing spree!
âŠI think I should call security first.â
Uncle Jian and Shi Sheng glared at each other. Something seemed to occur to the bodyguards, and they started attempting to persuade Uncle Jian to let her in. In the end, Uncle Jian reluctantly allowed her to pass. The most important thing right now was to get their Young Master to eat something.

The room was a mess. All of the medical equipment had been knocked over, and blankets and pillows were strewn across the floor. It looked like the aftermath of a fight.
A suffocating smell filled the air, making one want to choke.
Reclining against the head of the bed, Fu Qin wore a hospital gown. One of his legs curled up on the bed, a hand resting atop a knee. He held a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of this hand. Smoke wafted off and around him, giving him an ethereal feeling.
The other hand hung off the bedside. Fresh blood trickled down his fingers and dripped onto the floor.
He turned his head, his dead eyes covered by a veil of smoke. It was a despondent and bloody scene.
âDo you want to die, or do you want to die?!â Shi Sheng had already been filled with suppressed rage, so upon catching sight of this she immediately started to berate him. âIf you want to die, you can just leap out the window here, you know. Why go through so much trouble?â
After he heard that voice Fu Qinâs neck stiffened, and he turned to look at the young woman standing in front of him. He stared at her for about three seconds before suddenly getting up and walking over to the window on bare feet, managing to climb up it without much difficulty.
âYoung Master!â The group of people flooded in from outside. âDonât be impulsive ah, Young MasterâŠâ
âGet out.â Fu Qinâs voice was very light. The wind that blew in from the window broke apart the sound of his words.
âJump if you have the balls!â Shi Sheng continued to provoke him.
âMiss!â Uncle Jian nearly shouted at her, his eyes filled with rage. He had only allowed her in because he had hoped she would be able to persuade his Young Master. He hadnât planned for her to instigate his Young Master to commit suicide!
âYoung Master!â
Uncle Jian turned to find that Fu Qinâs figure was gone. A few bodyguards crowded the window, staring downwards with horror.
Shi Sheng was a bit stunned. âHe really jumpedâŠ
Son of a bitch! This villain is too easy to kill! I(bbb)Â canât handle it!â
âUse consumable âGap In Timeâ!â Shi Sheng chanted through gritted teeth.
Time suddenly stopped and everyone seemed to freeze into place. The world turned quiet.
Shi Sheng stalked toward the window, walking over the debris cluttering the floor. She opened it up and looked down to see Fu Qin frozen in the position he had been falling in. He was around ten or so metres away from the ground.
Shi Sheng leapt down from the windowsill and soon reached Fu Qinâs side. She came to a stable stop next to him, her sword beneath her feet.
She took Fu Qin to descend a bit more until the two of them were only a metre off the ground, after which she waited for the consumable to run out of time.

All of a sudden, the frozen city came back to life and sound filled the silent world once again.
The impact came quickly. Shi Sheng had been clutching Fu Qin when they landed. Even though she had minimized the impact, she still heard a cracking sound from her back.
âFuck! Look what Iâve gotten myself into now!
Who knew this idiot would really jump?!
âŠLuckily there arenât many people in this in-patient area. I donât even want to think about how other people would react to this.â
âDo you want to squash me to death?!â Shi Sheng spoke through gritted teeth. Fu Qin didnât react to her words.
He slowly supported himself and sat up. He spoke very regretfully, âDidnât manage to die.â
Shi Sheng, ââŠâ âShouldâve just let you die! Why the fuck did I(bbb) go and save you?!â
The people still in the ward could only see her appear suddenly and hug their Young Master as the two went smashing down on the concrete. They hurriedly charged downstairs, and it was only after examining Fu Qin many times to check if he was okay that people finally started to pay attention to the girl lying on the ground
Shi Sheng was sent to the hospital to be saved. âWho told me to court trouble?!â
âŠâŠ
While Shi Sheng was hospitalised, Fu Qin continued to seek death at every turn. But System would always issue quests to her whenever Fu Qin got a bit too suicidal. Yet they were all for tiny fucking stuff like:
Tell a joke to Fu Qin.
Send some fruit to Fu Qin.
Accompany Fu Qin for a medical check-up.
Shi Sheng finally found out why the steward had said Fu Qinâs temper wasnât good. âHis suicidal tendencies are already a problem⊠And heâll give me the goddamn silent treatment too! He just shuts up and ignores me whenever he gets upset!â
Due to their less-than-pleasant second meeting, Uncle Jian didnât like her anymore. In fact, the good impression from their first meeting had pretty much dropped into the negatives.
Adding to the fact that she had instigated his Young Master to jump off of a building, her unnatural and constant appearance by the Young Masterâs side made Uncle Jian feel like it was already miraculous that he hadnât yet ordered people to drag this suspicious person out.
So every time Shi Sheng wanted to go see Fu Qin, sheâd have to battle wits with Uncle Jian, who guarded against her like he would against a thief.
[Chain Quest 14: Send flowers.]
Shi Sheng, who had been taking her medicine, silently crunched up the awfully bitter pills.
The nurse who had come over to deliver the medicine stared at her in bewilderment. âMs Beiâs expression⊠Is she planning on killing someone?
Also⊠donât you find the medicine bitter?!â
Upon seeing Shi Sheng chewing up the pills as if venting her rage on them, the nurse hurriedly packed up and left. âThe patients in these wards sure are weird. One refuses to take his medicine while the other chews hers like jelly beansâŠ
Rich people these days are getting more and more eccentric!â
Shi Sheng used her phone to order a bouquet of flowers. As to what kind of flowers? She didnât care. It wasnât important anyways.
But when Shi Sheng received the flowers, her face pretty much turned black. âFucking hell! Forgot to tell them I didnât want roses! Forget it⊠I figure that suicidal fellow wonât mind.â
Shi Sheng carried a large bouquet of roses and laboriously made her way to the ward. Unable to see who she was, the bodyguards had just been about to stop her when she finally revealed her features.
âMs Bei⊠what are you (respectful)âŠ?â ââŠdoing? Sending roses huhâŠâ
Shi Sheng scanned the surroundings, and when she didnât see Uncle Jian, she glared at the bodyguards. âOpen the door! My waist is aching!â
The bodyguards hurriedly opened the door. They were actually quite willing to allow this lady to see their Young Master because when she was around, although he wouldnât speak, he wouldnât attempt to run off or commit suicide when they werenât paying attention.
Fu Qin lowered his head to look at his phone. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, he quickly laid back down and covered himself with his blanket.

âThis girl keeps hovering around me every day. How annoying.â
If Shi Sheng knew what he was thinking, sheâd probably slap him with the rose bouquet and say something like: âYou think I want to be around you?! Idiot!â
âFu Qin, donât play dead!â Shi Sheng smacked the flowers on Fu Qinâs blanket and spoke grumpily, âGet up and take the damn flowers!â
Fu Qin could smell the thick fragrance of the flowers even from under the blanket. He tossed the blanket aside, allowing him to see the fresh roses.
For a while he was stunned, and then his gaze slowly shifted towards Shi Shengâs face.
