"I'm sorry."
Zhou Ze extended his hand to indicate that he did not do it on purpose, because this was too much of a slap in the face, especially when he did not know why "Xu Le", the son-in-law, was so disliked by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Are you not feeling well?" Doctor Lin put down his chopsticks and asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Zhou Ze picked up his chopsticks again and stuffed the rice into his mouth,
But just as he was about to swallow it..,
His stomach spasmed again, and a strong sense of disgust arose in the depths of his heart. It was as if what he was about to swallow was not rice, but the son of rice.
"Pfft..."
This time..,
Zhou Ze spat out all the rice in his mouth,
It sprayed onto the faces of his father-in-law and mother-in-law who were sitting opposite him.
His father-in-law's glasses and hair were stained with rice,
His mother-in-law's hair, which was tied up in a bun, was also shiny.
"Smack!"
The chopsticks in his father-in-law's hand fell to the ground, and his face twitched a few times, as if he had not reacted to the current situation with his emotions.
His mother-in-law took a deep breath, and the anger in her eyes was already burning!
This..,
He did not want to give face!
"Smack!"
His mother-in-law pushed the chair behind her away and stood up.
"Xu Le!"
His mother-in-law was a retired head nurse, so she knew that even if a person was sick, he would not spit out food in such an exaggerated manner. Furthermore, looking at Xu Le's appearance, he did not look like he was "on the verge of death".
He did it on purpose,
He must have done it on purpose!
He was going to rebel!
He was going to rebel!
Zhou Ze clutched his chest and left the dining table. He rushed into the bathroom, opened the toilet lid, and started to retch desperately.
This time, he even vomited out his bile, and his mouth tasted bitter.
Looks like I won't be able to enjoy this meal.
Doctor Lin looked at Xu Le, who was still vomiting in the bathroom, and said to his sister,
"Xiao Yi, go cook the noodles."
"Oh, okay."
Her sister-in-law stuck out her tongue. She also felt that her brother-in-law had played a little too much today. She immediately left the table and went to the kitchen to prepare some noodles.
"Preposterous! This bastard!"
His father-in-law slammed the table, took off his glasses, and shook them.
Xu Le's father-in-law used to be the vice president of the academy, and he was very particular about his appearance. Today, his bottom line had been crossed.
"I'll go find that guy and ask him what my family did to him!
We didn't ask him for any betrothal gifts when we got married, and we even paid for him to open that money-losing bookstore. How have we wronged him? "
His mother-in-law was about to go to the bathroom.
"Mom, clean up this place. He's not feeling well."
Doctor Lin began to tidy up the plates on the table.
"Why are you still protecting him?" The mother-in-law was so angry that she pointed at her daughter and scolded.
"What else could I have done? Who was the one who threatened to hang myself to force me into marriage?" Doctor Lin stared at her mother. Her pretty face was filled with determination.
The mother-in-law was speechless. Indeed, they were the ones who forced their daughter to get married. They desperately wanted to have a grandson, so they tried their best to recruit Xu L as their son-in-law.
At that time, her thinking was very simple. She and her husband only had two daughters, so they had no choice but to recruit a grandchild from their own family. Since Xu Le's parents were no longer around, he could be considered a university graduate, so he met the requirements.
"I'm not eating anymore."
The father-in-law did not dare to look into his daughter's eyes. He was the one who had made the decision. Now that he thought about it, he did feel like he had wronged his daughter. He rose to his feet and went back to the study.
"Sigh, old man, you have a stomach problem," the mother-in-law said worriedly.
"Mom, bring a bowl of noodles to dad later."
Doctor Lin cleared the table and went to the bathroom.
The mother-in-law looked at her daughter's back and did not say a word.
Doctor Lin pushed open the glass door and saw Zhou Ze kneeling beside the toilet bowl. He was holding the edge of the bowl with one hand and holding his chest with the other.
"Are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine," Zhou Ze replied.
He was fine before the meal, yet he ended up like this as soon as he was about to eat.
"I've asked Xiao Yi to cook the noodles, you can eat later …"
"Retch …"
As soon as he thought of the noodles, he felt a strong sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart. He began to retch again.
Lin Wanqiu frowned slightly.
"Should we go to the hospital?"
"No need, I'm fine, I'm not eating anymore."
Zhou Ze waved his hand. He struggled to his feet and went to the sink to rinse his mouth and wash his face.
The dinner was destined to end on a sour note.
The father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law stayed on the first floor, while Zhou Ze and Lin Wanqiu's bedroom was on the second floor.
Zhou Ze took a shower after cleaning himself up. He did not change into his clothes since he did not know where they were. He went to the second floor with his hair still wet. He saw Lin Wanqiu taking a shower in the bathroom on the second floor as soon as he came out of the staircase.
Zhou Ze stood at the entrance of the bathroom for a while. He licked his lips as he looked at the reflection of Lin Wanqiu's alluring figure.
Humans were always the most impulsive at times like this, and it was also the time when they knew how to be grateful.
"Thank you,"
Zhou Ze murmured in his heart.
It was Zhou Ze's first time giving the unlucky Xu Le a thumbs up since he had reincarnated two days ago.
Although you left behind an extremely deceptive interpersonal relationship, your wife is really beautiful.
He was filled with a little fantasy, a little excitement, a little anticipation, and a little anticipation.
Zhou Ze pushed open the bedroom door.
Then...
Zhou Ze's expression shifted. He bit his lips.
He pulled out Xu Le, whom he had just complimented, and whipped his corpse ten thousand times.
The bedroom was huge.
There was a huge bed.
Beside the bed.
And a mattress on the floor!
Even an idiot would know what that meant!
Was that guy out of his mind?
Was that guy an idiot?
What's the point of being a live-in son-in-law?
Zhou Ze took three deep breaths and lay down on the mattress.
Go to sleep.
I'm done messing around.
I'm done thinking.
I'll see if I can get some money and become independent. I'll settle the complicated relationship, whether it's a divorce or something else. I still have a lot of problems to deal with after I reincarnated.
Lin Wanqiu came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She was wearing blue pajamas. The pajamas were a little fluffy, making them look a little big on her.
Zhou Ze subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva while lying on the mattress.
"Get up," Lin Wanqiu said.
"Mm?"
"You've been sleeping on the bed while I've been sleeping on the mattress," Lin Wanqiu said.
"..." Zhou Ze quietly rose to his feet and went to bed.
Lin Wanqiu turned off the light and lay down on the mattress.
Perhaps it was her compensation for not wanting to sleep on the same bed as Xu Le. She slept on the mattress.
Zhou Ze let out a sigh.
He was ready to sleep.
Half an hour later, he did not fall asleep. He turned around.
An hour later, he did not fall asleep. He turned around.
Three hours later, it was already early in the morning, but he still did not fall asleep.
His eyelids were fighting, but he just could not fall asleep.
Meanwhile, Lin Wanqiu was breathing steadily on the mattress. She was most likely asleep.
Zhou Ze swore that it was not because a beautiful woman was sleeping next to him that he was unable to fall asleep.
He was very sleepy and tired. After all, so many things had happened that day.
But he just could not fall asleep.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Ze opened his eyes and looked at his hands.
He had used his hands to save the little girl's life. The little girl had not woken up yet, but her vital signs had returned. She could still be saved.
Was it a special ability that he had acquired after a trip to Hell?
Or...
Something that the old man had left behind when he was scratching his wrist before he died?
That being said...
It did not feel too bad.
As a doctor, how many lives could he save with his hands?
It was an ability that surpassed the scope of medical technology and understanding. It could even allow him to reach a level that surpassed Hua Tuo and Bian Que.
Every practitioner in every profession hoped that they could surpass their ancestors one day. Perhaps it was not for money, nor was it for profit, but a kind of... feeling.
However, at that moment...
Zhou Ze suddenly realized that his arms were twitching, and an intense pain was coming at him.
"Hiss..."
Zhou Ze gasped and curled up on the bed.
However, the pain continued, and it was still escalating!
Zhou Ze broke out in cold sweat. He could not take it anymore, so he got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.
He went to the bathroom and did not turn on the light. He sat on the toilet. At that moment, Zhou Ze saw blue veins on his arms all the way to his fingernails.
The pain came from them, as if something was knocking on his bone marrow.
Damn it...
What was going on!
Zhou Ze's face began to contort.
This feeling was so painful that he wanted to die. He even had the urge to cut off his arms with a kitchen knife.
In a trance, he seemed to recall the scene when he was lying in the ice coffin and was about to be pushed into the incinerator.
It was as if he had recalled the scene of him walking in a daze to the end in hell.
Was this a curse?
Was this a punishment?
Why was it punishing me?
What did I do wrong?
Was it because I smuggled back?
Was it because I was not a living person, so God punished me?
Or... was it because I used it to save someone today?
Yes, it should be that reason.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath. Did he break some rules and suffer a backlash because he used that ability to save someone?
Then...
If he killed that girl now, would it not hurt anymore?
Some black mist began to gather in Zhou Ze's eyes, but he did not notice it at all.
"Uncle, you can't smoke in the hospital."
The little girl's voice appeared in Zhou Ze's mind again.
Zhou Ze shook his head violently.
No...
I saved her, that's why I saved her!
I don't regret it.
I don't regret it!
… …
"Mom, you're not done yet."
"I just went up. You can go to the bathroom on the second floor."
"Alright."
Her sister-in-law walked up to the second floor. She could not hold it in any longer. The lights in the bathroom on the second floor were not turned on, so she pushed the door open and walked in.
Then..,
At this moment,
Zhou Ze looked up at her.
She also looked at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze's eyes were misty and filled with a strong deterrent force. It was the gaze of a devil that had crawled out of hell, full of hatred and madness.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!"
Her sister-in-law screamed in fear.
Then, he fell to the ground.
She looked at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was also looking at her.
Following that, Zhou Ze saw the underside of his sister-in-law's pajamas wet. There was a strange liquid on the tiles too...
She was told by herself,
