Chapter 37 “Delusions” Are a Disease That Needs Treatment

At first, the conversation went smoothly, but by the end, the two of them were openly “arguing” in front of everyone.

No matter how unwilling he was to give up, Wei Kaihao could only accept it.

Perhaps Xu Chengyan’s “accusations” were somewhat unbelievable, but Li Tingting didn’t deny that those things had happened. She just kept arguing that they had nothing to do with her—she was an ordinary person and could not have “manipulated” those events.

Indeed, she was just an ordinary person who couldn’t possibly “control” those things. So why had it all ended up like this?

The reality was that all the “benefits” went to him, and only Xu Chengyan got the short end of the stick. After experiencing so much, how could Xu Chengyan not be superstitious? How could he possibly do anything with Li Tingting? This “confrontation” was one Li Tingting could lose.

“So… you and him aren’t in a romantic relationship?” Wei Kaihao looked at Li Tingting, a look of heartbreak on his face.

Li Tingting opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

She and Xu Chengyan hadn’t officially defined themselves as a couple, but they were already so close. How was that different from being real lovers? If that slut Yun Jinxian hadn’t interfered, she and Xu Chengyan would have been together long ago.

“It’s just that you think you have something with Xu Chengyan. He never acknowledged it from the start. The one he likes has always been Yun Jinxian. He even introduced her to his family, and once their relationship was confirmed, it was publicized…” Wei Kaihao said painfully. “Do you understand? That’s a real romantic relationship. When you like someone, you tell the world, you announce it to everyone. Not like you—what you’re doing is called an ‘unrequited crush.’”

【Unrequited crush?】

【Isn’t this delusion?】

【I think delusion is a disease. It needs treatment.】

Wei Kaihao couldn’t help but glare at Ruan Yaoyao, feeling that Xu Chengyan’s mother was incredibly annoying—she seemed to be everywhere.

Ruan Yaoyao looked innocent: 【Why are you glaring at me? I’m just here for the gossip!】

Wei Kaihao held back. He was a junior and wouldn’t argue with an elder.

“Let’s go.”

He gestured for Li Tingting to follow him. If she truly had “delusions,” he would take her to see a doctor; otherwise, her behavior could easily cause trouble for others.

Judging from Xu Chengyan’s expression, he treated Li Tingting like a wild beast, wanting to keep as far away from her as possible. Apart from Wei Kaihao, no one could manage her.

“Where are we going? Weren’t you here to help me find Xu Chengyan? We haven’t even cleared things up yet. He hasn’t broken up with that woman. Why are we leaving?”

From a distance, Li Tingting’s voice of discontent could still be heard.

【Too bad, we can’t hear it now!】

Ruan Yaoyao looked regretful. 【Honestly, Li Tingting’s drama was quite interesting—more so than her son Xu Chengyan’s.】

Xu Chengyan was a definite “victim,” but Li Tingting was different; wherever she went, there was drama.

Xu Chengyan twitched at the corner of his mouth: was his mother trying to make Li Tingting stay a bit longer to cause him more trouble? Today, meeting her didn’t bring any good either—his hand got bitten, and it was by his good friend Wei Kaihao.

How should he even evaluate this?

“Ugh…”

Xu Chengyan took a cold breath and said, “Is it time to take me to see a doctor now?”

“Yes, yes, let’s take you to the doctor,” Ruan Yaoyao said earnestly. “I heard that if someone gets bitten, you need a rabies shot. Ask the doctor when we get there.”

“People need a rabies shot if they get bitten?” Yu Xiangqiao was shocked. “Then… what about Tiangong and the others? They used to fight a lot at school and get bitten too. Should I have them vaccinated?”

Yun Jinxian sweated: “No need, right? I think you only get a rabies shot if the other party is suspected of carrying it. Kids fighting—probably not necessary.”

As for Wei Kaihao, he was an adult now and couldn’t recall if he’d ever been bitten by a dog.

Xu Chengyan: “……”

If he remembered correctly, Wei Kaihao had been mischievous in school and might have been bitten by a dog before.

So after Xu Chengyan was taken to the hospital, not only was his wound treated, but he also got a full course of rabies shots.

He took a photo and sent it to Wei Kaihao: 【See? This is all your fault!】

Wei Kaihao: 【What do you mean? Are you calling me a dog?】

Xu Chengyan: 【You were bitten by a dog before. Remember? Since you were bitten and then bit me, that counts as a possible exposure. Even if you didn’t get sick, you could have been a carrier, so I needed the shots.】

Xu Chengyan: 【You’re really losing it today—you don’t even feel like yourself!】

Xu Chengyan: 【Think about it—you know how unlucky I’ve been since she appeared? First the wound, now the rabies shots.】

Wei Kaihao: 【……】

How could he argue with that? Say he’d never been bitten by a dog?

He had shown Xu Chengyan the scar on his butt before.

Thinking back on the day and looking at Li Tingting, whom he had coaxed to see the doctor, he felt a strange chill down his spine.

——

After returning home, Yu Xiangqiao recounted the day’s events to her husband Xu Lianghan to teach him a lesson.

Xu Lianghan shivered. “How did Wei Kaihao get involved with Li Tingting? I never heard the second brother mention it before.”

“What do you mean? The second brother didn’t even know. If it weren’t for today, he would have been completely in the dark. Didn’t you notice? The second brother took the fall for everything. Li Tingting approached Wei Kaihao in the second brother’s name. All the bad things fell on him, while the benefits went to Wei Kaihao.”

“Ugh…” Xu Lianghan gasped, feeling it was terrifying.

He needed to check in with his good friends to see if anything unusual was happening, so no surprises blew up in his face later. He’d cry otherwise.

Yu Xiangqiao said, “Then you really need to pay attention. And I also need to be careful. Aside from your first love, Cao Manhui, there’s also Bing Qingxue. Who knows who else might show up later?”

She was a supporting character, her husband was the male lead. In these plots, the male lead’s life was always full of female supporting characters. These were just two—there could be more she hadn’t discovered yet.

Xu Lianghan paused. “Then should I also keep an eye on your male friends? According to novel logic, someone like you could easily bring out a long-lost male character who might show up after your death to get revenge.”

Yu Xiangqiao initially wanted to protest—she didn’t have male friends—but then remembered that before their arranged marriage, she did have several male friends and some so-called childhood sweethearts.

“No… right?! But I’m still alive and well. Surely no one would pop out to ‘take revenge’ now, right?”

“Could someone appear to compete with me for a wife?”

Yu Xiangqiao: “……”

They spent the whole night digging through old issues.

By the next morning, both couples had panda eyes.

Ruan Yaoyao looked up, startled: “Did you sneak out last night?”

Xu Lianghan covered it up: “No, it’s just that yesterday’s matter with the second brother scared us. We went over our personal relationships carefully so nothing else weird would come up.”

“Yes, yes!” Yu Xiangqiao nodded.

Ruan Yaoyao suddenly became uncertain: 【Did I miss something before?】

【Should I take another look?】

Xu Lianghan and Yu Xiangqiao were delighted: Look! For our safety, Mom, we’re counting on you!

Ruan Yaoyao searched thoroughly but didn’t find any points of concern.

Just as Xu Lianghan and Yu Xiangqiao relaxed, they heard Ruan Yaoyao gasp in shock: 【What?! The plot twists again?!】

【I already changed Xiao Lingxuan’s fate! Why did she still die?!】

【And she died years earlier?!】
