Chapter 33 He's actually this kind of person

There was nothing else to do when Jiang Yutang went back this time, so she went straight to the supermarket and the pharmacy.

Jiang Yutang looked at the items on the cashier's counter, thought for a moment, and said to the salesperson, "Could you please give me three more sets of gauze and cotton balls, and four more bottles of hydrogen peroxide?"

The salesman looked at her with a puzzled expression, then gave a forced smile and kindly advised, "Miss, you've bought quite a few of these things lately. If any of your family members are injured or experiencing severe bleeding, I would still recommend taking them to the hospital for treatment."

"Okay, okay." She did wonder, could she possibly bring Cheng Lanzhou, that big Buddha statue, here?

It's ridiculous just to think about it.

After leaving the pharmacy, Jiang Yutang stood there waiting for a taxi, carrying a large pile of things. As she looked at the tall buildings in the distance, she thought of her grandfather in the hospital ward.

She's been in the book for a week now, and perhaps because life there is so tough, it feels like it's been a very long time. Every time she returns, the first thing she does is check her phone, but there's been no notification from the hospital.

"Why."

Jiang Yutang sighed softly. The taxi driver in the car glanced at her in the rearview mirror, looking quite puzzled.

He had been picking up passengers in this area for years, and he remembered the girl in front of him. He had picked her up three times in two days, each time with large and small bags of things, as if she was stockpiling goods.

After Jiang Yutang finally managed to carry her things upstairs, her first thought was that when she had money, she would definitely buy an apartment with an elevator.

There was a bag of medicine at her feet that she had bought separately for Cheng Lanzhou. It was truly a thankless task; even after transmigrating into a book, she still had to be treated like a beast of burden.

Jiang Yutang kicked the bag in frustration, but in the end, she still dutifully carried all the things over.

Upon opening her eyes, Jiang Yutang felt as if she had suddenly woken up from a nightmare, and felt extremely exhausted.

It was late at night, and all was quiet except for the continuous, disturbing snores that could be heard in the distance.

She lay on the lawn, blinked at the distant fire, and a heavy drowsiness washed over her.

No, she had to take the things back to the cart. If she just left them here, they would be discovered tomorrow morning and she would be in big trouble.

Jiang Yutang forced herself to sit up, put her hand on her neck and pinched it, feeling inexplicable soreness all over her body. Perhaps it was because she had been traveling too much these past few days. She would have to ask Mu Shi to give her a gua sha treatment when she rested tomorrow night.

Thinking it was just simple fatigue, she didn't take it to heart and carried her things to the cart.

When he returned to the woods to get Cheng Lanzhou's medicine, a thought struck him, and he picked up the medicine and went to find out where the Cheng family was resting.

This was just a clean, open space where refugees slept scattered about on the ground.

The wind, carrying the smell of burning branches, crept into her collar, causing her to shrink back involuntarily. Her gaze, however, swept quickly across the huddled figures on the ground like a searchlight.

The ground was covered with tattered straw mats or moldy burlap sacks. Jiang Yutang took each step with extra care, afraid of disturbing the resting refugees.

He gripped the bag in his hand even tighter. Inside were not only gauze and hydrogen peroxide, but also antibiotics and antipyretics—the most common medicines in modern pharmacies, but which could save lives here.

She didn't want to have too much contact with Cheng Lanzhou. Every time she saw him, her body would react uncontrollably, and she hated this feeling of being out of control.

Thinking it best to simply hand everything over to the Cheng family and let them handle it themselves, so they wouldn't have to keep coming to me.

The wind blew, deepening the darkness of the night, and the distant howls of wolves sent a shiver down her spine.

Are there wild animals in this place? Wasn't it very dangerous for her to go into the grove just now?

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure sitting against the trunk of the locust tree to the north.

The figure moved her body with pain, and only when the other person struggled to stand up did she realize that this person was Cheng Lanzhou.

Jiang Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed towards Cheng Lanzhou, calling softly, "Cheng Lanzhou, Cheng Lanzhou..."

The other person stiffened, clearly having heard her call, but did not turn around and remained with their back to her.

So Jiang Yutang changed her approach and called out to them: "Suck suck suck..."

The veins on Cheng Lanzhou's temples bulged. Was he being teased like a cat or dog? He forced himself to breathe, trying to relieve the pain in his back.

Suddenly, something was thrown at his feet. Looking down, he saw a white cloth bag, which was full of something.

While wondering, Jiang Yutang walked to his side, her palms reddening, and muttered softly, "I've been calling you for ages, and you haven't responded at all."

Looking up, he found Cheng Lanzhou looking at him with displeasure. Thinking that his actions just now were inappropriate, he explained guiltily, "This thing is for you."

Cheng Lanzhou glanced at him rudely, then looked away and said coldly, "What is it?"

She awkwardly rubbed her palms: "I suppose you wouldn't come looking for me anyway, so I brought the medicine to you. You can let them take care of it for you from now on, so you don't have to go through all this trouble again."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Cheng Lanzhou saw a suppressed laugh at the corner of Jiang Yutang's mouth.

The thought that he had taken the wrong medicine and suffered a massive hemorrhage that nearly cost him his life, and that it was Cheng Daier who found her and saved his life, made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Driven by his pride, he glanced back at the road ahead and coldly said, "I understand. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Jiang Yutang looked at him in shock, not understanding why he had kindly brought her the life-saving medicine, yet the other party didn't say a word of thanks and directly asked her to leave.

I immediately felt that my good intentions had been taken for granted.

More than anything, I was surprised that the character in the book was actually like this, and disappointment welled up in my eyes.

She had actually developed a fondness for the character when she read the novel back then, but now it seems that Cheng Lanzhou is only good-looking in appearance.

Jiang Yutang's eyes were naturally expressive, and now Cheng Lanzhou took in his disappointed expression, which suddenly made him feel agitated.

Cheng Lanzhou closed his eyes, exhaled, and said in a low voice with a subtle magnetism, "Thank you."

The treetops trembled faintly, and moonlight shone through them, casting a soft glow on Cheng Lanzhou's blood-stained clothes, making them appear as if they were embroidered with vibrant peonies.

A simple sentence made Jiang Yutang's heart race for no reason, a feeling similar to her first crush on a celebrity.

here we go again.

She pressed her hand to her chest, thinking to herself that keeping her distance from Cheng Lanzhou was indeed the right thing to do.

After a long while, Cheng Lanzhou saw that she was still standing there, clutching her clothes and frowning. The corners of her mouth, which usually turned up when she saw him, were now drooping in frustration. Her long eyelashes looked like a butterfly resting over her eyes, as if she had been wronged.

He was suddenly moved and felt a little thirsty. His throat bobbed and his thin lips parted slightly: "Thank you for the medicine and the clothes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang raised her eyes to look at him. Suddenly, the clouds in the night sky dispersed, and the rustling leaves made a joyful sound.

The moment their eyes met, Cheng Lanzhou immediately and subtly looked away, his fist clenched at his side without him noticing, and even his breathing became heavy.
