She was so angry. Rather than the fact that Zhou Chi liked men, what made her even more angry was that Zhou Chi said that living was boring.
"I worked so hard to raise you just because you wanted to die?! If I had known that you were such a loser, I would have strangled you to death! It would have saved me so many years of hard work!"
I don't know if it was because he was whipped so hard by Zhou Ran, but Zhou Chi was already sober from drinking. He was in severe pain, but he forced himself to straighten his waist. He endured Zhou Ran's whipping, and the whip hit him. But it seemed to be twitching in his heart.
He had been looking forward to this beating.
In the past, he had never dared to confess to Zhou Ran, not because he was afraid of being beaten, but because he couldn't bear to make Zhou Ran sad. Today, he finally mustered up the courage. He is already thirty-four years old and is no longer young. But the older he gets, the more he understands in his heart what kind of person he wants to live with and what kind of life he wants. Even if that person is unavailable in this life, he still has expectations in his heart.
Maybe, he can really let it go
Maybe he can meet the right person
…
Therefore, this beating left his skin and flesh bruised, but it also gave him a new lease of life.
…
"Ranran! Ranran! You can't fight! If you fight again, something will happen!" As soon as Liu Changsheng got the news, his heart "thumped", and he immediately understood what happened, and immediately put down his official duties, When he was so busy, he rode back to inspect the Yamen. He hurried slowly, but when he rushed into the ancestral hall, he was still a step too late. Zhou Chi's whole back was covered with bloodstains, and blood drops had been thrown all over the floor tiles. Liu Changsheng was frightened. His face turned pale, and he rushed over to grab the whip from Zhou Ran's hand, "Nanran, calm down first! Ranran! Zhou Chi is going to be beaten to death by you!"
Liu Changsheng finally grabbed the whip, and Zhou Chi suddenly carried it to the ground. Liu Changsheng suddenly dropped the whip, went over to check on Zhou Chi, and shouted to the outside: "Go and call the doctor!"
The housekeeper was so busy that he went to ask the doctor.
Liu Changsheng was so busy that he hugged Zhou Chi and hurried back to his room. Zhou Ran was the only one left standing in the ancestral hall. She stared at the blood drops on the floor, and after a long while she covered her face and cried.
~~~~~~~~~
Zhou Chi saw that the injury was severe and there was so much blood, but it was all skin injuries, so he only slept for one night. Zhou Chi woke up early the next morning.
He woke up from the pain. Zhou Chi hissed and breathed in cold air. He opened his eyes and saw Liu Changsheng dozing on the edge of his bed. At this time, he heard some noise and Liu Changsheng also woke up. He was so busy that he came over and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Zhou Chi shook his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is the eldest sister?"
"You had a severe fever last night. She took care of you all night. I just asked her to go back and rest," Liu Changsheng said, putting his hand on Zhou Chi's forehead to try, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "The fever is gone."
Liu Changsheng stood up, twisted a handkerchief and wiped Zhou Chi's face, saying at the same time: "I have already handed over the official duties of the yamen. You will have to lie down for seven or eight days at least with your injuries."
"Eldest sister...is she angry?" Zhou Chi lowered his eyebrows and whispered.
Yesterday, he impulsively confessed to Zhou Ran. He felt that the big stone that was weighing on his heart was finally gone. He felt very happy. But when he woke up today, he really felt uncomfortable. He was afraid that it was the big stone in his heart. Now it must have weighed heavily on the eldest sister’s heart.
