"I'm sorry."

Zhou Ze gestured that he didn't mean to, because it was such a slap in the face, especially given that he didn't know why "Xu Le," the live-in son-in-law, was so disliked by his parents-in-law.

"Feeling unwell?" Doctor Lin put down her chopsticks and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Zhou Ze picked up his chopsticks again and shoveled rice into his mouth,

but just as he got it into his mouth and before he could swallow,

another spasm ran through his stomach, and a strong feeling of nausea arose from the depths of his heart, as if what he was about to swallow wasn't rice, but the rice's son, *mitian gong* (excrement).

"Pfft..."

This time,

Zhou Ze sprayed the rice grains from his mouth,

splattering them on the faces of his parents-in-law sitting opposite him.

His father-in-law's glasses and hair were covered in rice grains,

and his mother-in-law's updo was also sparkling white.

With a "clatter,"

the chopsticks fell from his father-in-law's hand, and his face twitched a few times, as if he hadn't yet reacted to how he should face the current situation.

His mother-in-law took a deep breath, the fire of anger already burning fiercely in her eyes!

This was,

not appreciating the kindness shown!

"Slap!"

His mother-in-law pushed back her chair and stood up.

"Xu Le!"

His mother-in-law was a retired head nurse, so she knew that even if a person was sick, they couldn't spray rice so exaggeratedly, and besides, looking at Xu Le, he didn't seem like he was "terminally ill and about to die."

He was doing it on purpose,

he was definitely doing it on purpose!

He was rebelling!

Rebelling!

Zhou Ze clutched his chest, left the dinner table, rushed into the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid, and began to retch violently.

This time, he even vomited up bile, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.

This meal was not going to happen.

Doctor Lin looked at Xu Le, who was still vomiting in the bathroom, and said directly to her younger sister:

"Xiao Yi, go cook some noodles."

"Oh, okay."

The sister-in-law stuck out her tongue; she also felt that this brother-in-law was playing it a little too big today, so she immediately left the table and went to the kitchen to prepare some noodles.

"Outrageous, this scoundrel!"

His father-in-law slapped the table and reached out to take off his glasses, shaking them. Xu Le's father-in-law had retired as a deputy director and usually paid the most attention to his refined appearance; today, his bottom line had been broken.

"I'm going to find that guy and ask him what we've done to offend him so! We didn't ask him for a penny of betrothal money when we got married, and we even paid for him to open that money-losing bookstore. What have we done to offend him!"

His mother-in-law prepared to go to the bathroom.

"Mom, clean up here, he's not feeling well."

Doctor Lin began to clear the untouched plates from the table.

"You're still protecting him like this?" His mother-in-law pointed directly at her daughter and scolded her, infuriated.

"Otherwise what? Who was it that forced me to marry by threatening to hang themselves?" Doctor Lin looked directly at her mother, her beautiful face looking particularly resolute at this moment.

His mother-in-law was momentarily speechless. Indeed, they were the ones who forced their daughter to marry, they desperately wanted to have a grandson, so they tried every means to recruit Xu Le as a live-in son-in-law. At the time, they thought it was simple: she and her husband only had two daughters, there was no other way, they could only recruit one to live with them, the grandson would have their family name, and Xu Le's parents were gone, and he was considered a college graduate, meeting the conditions.

"I'm not eating anymore."

His father-in-law didn't dare to look his daughter in the eye; it was his idea to make the decision, and now that he thought about it, he really felt sorry for his daughter. He got up and returned to his study.

"Hey, old man, you have a stomach problem." His mother-in-law called out anxiously.

"Mom, bring Dad a bowl of noodles later."

Doctor Lin cleared the table and then walked towards the bathroom.

His mother-in-law looked at her daughter's back and finally said nothing more.

Opening the glass door of the bathroom, Doctor Lin saw Zhou Ze kneeling next to the toilet, one hand grabbing the edge of the toilet and the other clutching his chest.

"Not feeling well?"

"I'm okay," Zhou Ze replied. He was fine before dinner, but who knew he would become like this as soon as he was about to eat.

"I asked Xiao Yi to cook some noodles, you can eat some later..."

"Ugh..."

At the thought of noodles, Zhou Ze felt a strong sense of nausea coming from the depths of his heart again, and then he started retching again.

Lin Wanqiu frowned slightly,

"Go to the hospital?"

"No need, I'm fine, I'm not eating."

Zhou Ze waved his hand and stood up with great difficulty, rinsing his mouth and washing his face at the sink.

Tonight's dinner was destined to end unhappily.

His parents-in-law and sister-in-law lived on the first floor, while Zhou Ze and Lin Wanqiu's bedroom was on the second floor.

After cleaning up, Zhou Ze took a shower, and because he didn't know where his change of clothes were, he didn't change them for now, and went up to the second floor with his hair still wet, still wearing his previous clothes. As soon as he came out of the stairwell, he found Lin Wanqiu taking a shower in the second-floor bathroom.

Zhou Ze stood at the bathroom door for a while, looking at the graceful figure reflected inside, and gently licked his lips.

People are always the most impulsive at this time, and of course, they are also the most grateful at this time.

"Thank you."

Zhou Ze muttered in his heart,

This was the first time since Zhou Ze's soul had returned to the body that he gave a thumbs up to that unlucky ghost Xu Le.

Although you left behind an extremely terrible interpersonal relationship, your wife is really beautiful.

With some fantasy, some excitement, some impatience, and some expectation,

Zhou Ze pushed open the bedroom door,

and then,

Zhou Ze's face changed, and he bit his lip.

In his heart, he dragged Xu Le, whom he had just praised, out again and whipped him ten thousand times.

The bedroom was very big,

with a big bed,

and next to the big bed,

there was also a floor mat!

What does this mean? Even a fool would know!

Was that guy sick in the head?

Was that guy an idiot?

What's the point of being a live-in son-in-law like you?

Zhou Ze took three deep breaths in a row, then silently lay down on the floor mat.

Sleep,

no more fussing,

no more thinking.

See if I can find some money, move out independently, and then, whether it's divorce or whatever, resolve this complicated relationship. There are still many problems I have to face after my soul returns to this body.

Lin Wanqiu came out after taking a shower. She was wearing a blue nightgown, which was a little fluffy and looked a little big on her.

Zhou Ze, who was lying on the floor mat, swallowed subconsciously.

"Get up," Lin Wanqiu said.

"Huh?"

"It's always been you sleeping on the bed and me sleeping on the floor," Lin Wanqiu said.

"..." Zhou Ze got up silently and got into bed.

Lin Wanqiu turned off the lights and lay down on the floor mat.

Perhaps this was her compensation for not wanting to share a bed with Xu Le; she slept on the floor.

Zhou Ze sighed,

preparing to sleep.

Half an hour later, he hadn't fallen asleep and turned over.

An hour later, he hadn't fallen asleep and turned over.

It wasn't until three hours later, when it was already dawn, that he still hadn't fallen asleep.

His eyelids were fighting, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

Lin Wanqiu on the floor mat was breathing steadily and should have fallen asleep.

Zhou Ze swore that it wasn't because there was a beautiful woman sleeping next to him that he was restless and couldn't fall asleep;

he was very sleepy and very tired, after all, so many things had happened today.

But damn it, he just couldn't fall asleep.

Lying in bed, Zhou Ze simply opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

Today, he used these hands to save the little girl's life. Although the little girl hadn't woken up yet, her vital signs had returned, and she could still be saved.

Was this the special ability he gained after taking a trip to hell?

Or,

was it something that old man left behind when he grabbed his wrist before he died?

However,

it felt pretty good.

As a doctor, with these hands, how many lives could he save?

This was an ability that transcended medical technology and understanding, and could even allow him to reach a level beyond Hua Tuo and Bian Que. Practitioners in every industry hoped that one day they could surpass their founders. This might not be for money, nor for profit, but a kind of... sentiment.

But just at this moment,

Zhou Ze suddenly felt a twitch in his arms, and a sharp pain quickly attacked.

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze gasped and curled up on the bed.

But this pain continued and was still escalating!

Cold sweat poured out from Zhou Ze, and he couldn't bear it. He had no choice but to get out of bed and leave the bedroom.

He came to the bathroom, didn't turn on the light, and just sat on the toilet. At this moment, Zhou Ze saw that there were almost cracked veins on his arms all the way to his fingernails.

The pain came from them, as if something was hammering his bone marrow.

Damn it,

what the hell is going on!

Zhou Ze's face began to twist,

This feeling made him feel like he was dying, and even made him want to grab a kitchen knife and cut off his arms.

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 crematorium,

and he also seemed to recall the fragments of wandering aimlessly in hell towards the end,

Was this a curse?

Was this a punishment?

Why am I being punished?

What did I do wrong?

Because I came back as a stowaway?

Because I'm not alive, so God is punishing me?

Or... is it because I used it to save someone today?

Yes, that must be the reason.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath, because he used that ability to save someone, so he broke some rules and suffered a backlash?

Then,

then if I go and kill that girl now, will it stop hurting?

Some black mist began to gather in Zhou Ze's eyes, but he was completely unaware.

"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, I saved her!

I don't regret it,

I don't regret it!

............

"Mom, aren't you done yet?"

"I just started, you can go to the second-floor bathroom."

"Okay."

The sister-in-law walked up to the second floor. She couldn't hold it in any longer. The second-floor bathroom didn't have the lights on, so she pushed open the door and walked in.

Then,

just at this moment,

Zhou Ze raised his head and looked at her,

She also looked at Zhou Ze,

In Zhou Ze's eyes, the black mist was misty, with a strong deterrent force, it was a look like a vengeful spirit crawling out of hell, cursed and crazy.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The sister-in-law screamed in fright,

and then fell to the ground,

She looked at Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze was also looking at her,

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ze saw under the sister-in-law's pajamas,

She was,

scared into wetting herself?
