Chapter 613 — Xiao Shu Is Going to Die
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shen Yushu had eaten until her belly was round as a drum, and now she lay sprawled on the sofa, unable to get up. At first it was merely uncomfortable but bearable; after a while, though, the discomfort kept getting worse.
"Sister Yaoyao, my tummy hurts so bad. It's so big -- could I be pregnant? I feel so nauseous!" Shen Yushu lay on the sofa, her voice feeble.
"...Good grief, how does eating too much make you pregnant? Stop talking nonsense!" Gu Mengyao had been watching television. Hearing Xiao Shu's words, she switched it off and walked over.
"Sister Yaoyao, you got pregnant from drinking soda -- why couldn't I get pregnant from eating? There might be Brother Jianpai's spit in there somewhere..." Shen Yushu said, her small face drained of color.
"Enough, stop messing around." Being reminded of that episode from the past, Gu Mengyao could not help but flush with embarrassment. "Did you overeat? Why don't you go to the bathroom?"
"It hasn't even digested yet -- how am I supposed to go?... It hurts so much, it hurts so much..." Shen Yushu felt her stomach was unbearably full and she was horribly nauseous. She was miserable in every possible way.
"Just hold on, let me find some stomach medicine for you..." Seeing Shen Yushu in such wretched discomfort, Gu Mengyao felt a pang of regret. She shouldn't have acted on impulse and dragged Xiao Shu into all of this.
She had no idea whether a person really could eat themselves to death, but since there was such a phrase as "ate himself to death," it probably was possible, wasn't it? The thought made Gu Mengyao panic even more, and she hurried off to find medicine.
"I can't eat it, I can't get it down, one more bite and I'll burst..." How could Shen Yushu possibly swallow any medicine?
"Then what do we do?" Gu Mengyao was at a loss too.
"I'm going to die... I'm going to die again... I don't want to die!" Shen Yushu felt she was terribly unlucky. Just a couple of days ago she had nearly died once, and now today she was going to die again. "Yao-yao, why are you secretly trying to kill me? I never meant to fight you over Arrow-Brand Bro, I already said I'd be your junior wife, and you still want to do away with me, ahhhh..."
"Me... why would I secretly try to kill you?" Gu Mengyao was caught between laughter and tears at Shen Yushu's words. "I don't even like Wei Zhao, so what would I be fighting you over? I just didn't want him bringing food to Tang Zhi, that's why I made you eat it all... Oh right, Wei Zhao — you... you hold on a moment, I'll call Wei Zhao!"
Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Gu Mengyao suddenly thought of Wei Zhao. How could she have forgotten him? Surely he would have some way to save Little Shu?
Wei Zhao picked up Gu Mengyao's call, and the young miss's exclamation came through from the other end: "Wei Zhao, where are you? Come back right now, Little Shu is fading fast!"
"Huh? What did you say?" Wei Zhao was stunned. Little Shu fading fast? What did that mean?
"Little Shu ate too much, she's stuffed and miserable, she's about to die, hurry back!" Gu Mengyao said urgently.
"...All right, I'm on my way back." Wei Zhao sighed in some exasperation and hung up. Stuffed and miserable? Then why had she eaten so much in the first place, even finishing Tang Zhi's portion?
"What's wrong?" Tang Zhi hadn't been able to hear what was said on the other end of the call, but hearing that Wei Zhao wanted to go back, she could not help asking, "You're leaving now?"
