When Yang Hua gradually regained consciousness in the hospital, he once again saw the last familiar face in his consciousness. When he saw the beautiful woman’s face, he was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes again. His body stiffened and he did not dare to move.

“You’re awake! The doctor just examined you.” A woman who was sitting by Yang Hua’s bed and typing on a computer noticed Yang Hua’s actions and immediately said with a smile. Yang Hua was so afraid that he closed his eyes tightly and did not speak. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, a hole in the ground would immediately appear, and he would fall in.

“Eh? What’s wrong with you?” The woman looked strangely at Yang Hua, whose eyes were tightly shut, and his body was tense.

Yang Hua still did not speak. The woman became a little anxious. She quickly closed the computer and ran out to call the nurse in. Of course, the nurse in the hospital was also a woman. Although the nurse was not very pretty, when she touched Yang Hua’s head, Yang Hua still cried out in his heart. “It’s over. Even ten deaths wouldn’t be enough this time.”

“He’s fine! His body temperature is normal!” The nurse touched Yang Hua’s forehead and looked at his expression. She said to the woman sitting next to Yang Hua with a strange expression.

“Oh, thank you.” The woman smiled and sent the nurse out.

Yang Hua, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still tensed up, ready to take the blow that could come at any time. The woman glanced at Yang Hua and then looked at the sky that was gradually darkening outside. She picked up her laptop and blew a kiss at Yang Hua, whose eyes were still closed, and said with a smile, “Since you’re not feeling well, I’ll leave first. Bye.”

Yang Hua, who was lying on the bed, listened to the woman’s pleasant voice, but his heart was filled with sorrow. Although this retribution did not come immediately, according to Yang Hua’s experience, bad luck would definitely happen within a day after coming into contact with a woman.

He would probably be found diagnosed with a terminal disease before tomorrow morning… Yang Hua, who was lying on the hospital bed, thought pessimistically. Sigh, Daddy, Mommy… He was in so much pain that he wanted to cry.

However, just as Yang Hua was about to cry, the door of the ward was opened again. A few familiar faces walked in from outside. They were Yang Hua’s roommates from the university.

Seeing that Yang Hua had woken up and was sitting on the bed, the few of them were stunned at first, but then they smiled at him together. “Hey, I say, you’re quite lucky with women!” The man in the plaid shirt walking in front was the recognized leader of Yang Hua’s dormitory, so he spoke first as soon as he entered.

“That’s right. Why didn’t I bump into a beautiful woman and get into a car accident when I went out? Otherwise, I’ll be the hero who saves the damsel in distress…” The person behind the man in the plaid shirt immediately shouted. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the nurse outside immediately stuck her head in and said with a threatening face, “Keep your voice down! This is a hospital!”

“Oh, yes, yes.” The guy in the plaid shirt hurriedly smiled at the nurse for a while before finally sending her out again.

“Hey, how does it feel to save a beauty?” The guy in the plaid shirt looked at Yang Hua with ill intentions and laughed. “I heard from her that you were very brave back then! Did you fall for her? Wow! Her looks and figure were top-notch! Haha, the spring of our Innocent Yang has finally arrived!” He and his roommates behind him immediately laughed lewdly.

In the past few days, they had been staying in the hospital for a few hours almost every day. Although they claimed that it was to accompany the unconscious Yang Hua, in reality, what was the point of accompanying a comatose man? Their target was, of course, the great beauty with soft hands, smooth skin, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes.

“Sigh…” Yang Hua knew that this would be the outcome. He didn’t say anything and just sighed. After touching a woman so many times, how could he have a good ending? If he didn’t die, then he was lucky to have survived. Wasn’t it only right to be ridiculed?

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t sigh!” However, when they saw Yang Hua’s sorrowful expression, they suddenly looked at Yang Hua nervously and waved their hands. “We were just joking!”

“Yeah, we were just joking with you!” The few people behind him also quickly responded.

“Look, we brought you food.” The group of people laughed as if they were performing magic and took out a net bag of fruits and a full lunch box from behind.

“You better get well soon. Without you, our dormitory would be like a pig sty. It’s so smelly that people can’t sleep at all!” The guy in the plaid shirt complained as he placed the things beside Yang Hua’s bed.

“Yes… I’ll try my best.” Yang Hua smiled bitterly. He knew that these roommates were not so kind to come and see him. As expected, they were still here to get him to work. “By the way, where are my parents?”

Yang Hua looked around and suddenly asked.

“Oh, them. They probably don’t know that you’re hospitalized yet. Are you willing to tell them about this?” The guy in the plaid shirt asked curiously.

“What? They didn’t know? Then who paid for my hospitalization?” Yang Hua was surprised.

“Stupid! Who else could it be? Of course, it’s the beauty you saved!” The guy in the plaid shirt glanced at Yang Hua in dissatisfaction.

“No way, it’s her?” Yang Hua became nervous again. He thought that it was over this time. It must be AIDS. He had interacted with a female stranger woman, talked to her, and even used her money.

He’s finished. He’s dead! Thinking that the hospital might send him a test report with a positive blood test for AIDS tomorrow, Yang Hua could not help but scratch his head with a bitter face.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you now? It’s not epilepsy, right?” The guy in the plaid shirt asked in surprise as he looked at Yang Hua, who suddenly scratched his head.

“No, but I might really have a terminal illness.” Yang Hua scratched for a while and put down his hand dejectedly. He looked at his roommates with a sad face.

“Terminal illness?” The guy in the plaid shirt looked at Yang Hua and suddenly laughed. “You might have? Hey, how did you know? Based on a guess?”

“I mean it.” Yang Hua looked at his classmates seriously.

“What a fart!” The guy in the plaid shirt laughed and scolded, “That beauty said that when you entered the hospital a week ago, you did a CT scan, nuclear resonance, and a full blood test. Other than a concussion and a few broken ribs, there’s nothing wrong with you! Do you think you’re a god? Could it be that the equipment in a big hospital is not as accurate as you guessed?

“Or, did you become a psychopath from a concussion? This is a big problem. It’s not a terminal illness, but it’s probably not far from it.”

“Ah?” Yang Hua looked at the guy in the plaid shirt in surprise. He couldn’t believe that he had been lying on the hospital bed for a week. If that was the case, then hadn’t he been in contact with the woman for more than a week? And that woman often came to his side?

Why was he still alive? A strange question suddenly popped up in Yang Hua’s mind.

“I’ll leave the things here! Eat more when you’re free. I see that you haven’t eaten much this week. You should nourish your body! We’ll bring you something delicious tomorrow.” The guy in the plaid shirt smiled and waved at Yang Hua, then left the ward with his roommates.

Although his roommate said that he was fine, Yang Hua could not help but let his imagination run wild on the hospital bed. Every time he heard footsteps outside the door, he would feel nervous, afraid that a doctor would come in and tell him that he had AIDS.

In this tense atmosphere, Yang Hua ate his first formal dinner in a week and then fell asleep on the hospital bed.

The next day, Yang Hua was woken up by a doctor in a white coat. However, the doctor did not inform Yang Hua that he had been diagnosed with AIDS as Yang Hua had expected. Instead, he only gave him a routine examination. Moreover, after Yang Hua was fiddled with for half an hour, the doctor actually told Yang Hua that he was “doing very well and could probably be discharged in a few days.”

After leaving Yang Hua’s ward, the girl never came to the hospital again. However, she had paid Yang Hua’s hospitalization fees. Therefore, ten days later, the doctor let Yang Hua, who had basically recovered, out of the hospital according to the scheduled date. From his classmates, Yang Hua found out that the woman in the hospital was called Qi Yuying. Initially, Yang Hua thought that his encounter with Qi Yuying would end there. However, he did not expect to see her again a few days after returning to school.

Yang Hua met her when he was buying some He Ji Sesame Biscuits for his roommates. The two of them bumped into each other on the street. However, when she saw Qi Yuying again this time, she was no longer as energetic as when they met for the second time in the hospital.

Qi Yuying, who was wandering around the neighborhood, looked like a ghost. She was only wearing a dirty short-sleeved T-shirt and a crumpled skirt. Her originally neatly combed shawl was now messy like a refugee who had just escaped from the Middle East war. Her slightly pale face did not have any makeup at all.

Seeing Qi Yuying’s sloppy appearance, Yang Hua scratched his head in confusion. Did she lose her job? It couldn’t be. She was fine a few days ago. How did she become like this in less than two days? Could it be that his bad luck had transferred to her? Thinking of this, Yang Hua immediately felt uneasy.

“Miss Qi… are you alright?” With a heart full of uneasiness and a trace of hope to atone for his sins, Yang Hua could not help but greet Qi Yuying, who had just passed by. Ever since the last time, Yang Hua realized that his “bad luck with every woman” seemed to have disappeared, so he dared to take the initiative to greet her.

“Eh?” Qi Yuying seemed to be thinking about something. She only came back to her senses when Yang Hua called out to her.

“Hmm? Oh, it’s Yang Hua.” Qi Yuying, who was called, took a while to realize that someone was calling her. When she saw Yang Hua’s face clearly, she immediately smiled at him.

Yang Hua almost couldn’t tell if Qi Yuying’s smile at him could be called a bitter smile. He only felt that the smile was full of reluctance.
