Chapter 1 “Fuck”

The sound of "fuck,"

delivered like that,

left the two young nurses at a loss, and even Dr. Lin was stunned for a moment.

It was just too simple and crude.

Zhou Ze offered no explanation, reaching out and pulling back the white sheet covering the girl's head.

It was her. It really was her!

No wonder she didn't have a single injury,

not even a scratch on her body.

It wasn’t because she was lucky enough to be sitting in the back row.

In fact,

she was the most seriously injured of all the children. The doctor had been doing everything possible to save her.

Her soul had already drifted out, but she was unaware of it. She was still reminding herself not to smoke in public and comforting the slightly injured classmates.

Actually,

those children couldn't see her at all.

In the entire hospital,

the only one who could see her

was Zhou Ze!

"Is she dead?" Zhou Ze asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Xu Le?" Dr. Lin looked at her husband. She didn't want to dwell on his crude language just now because she noticed that her husband seemed mentally unstable.

"She's not dead yet. Keep saving her, keep trying!"

Zhou Ze suddenly grabbed Dr. Lin's arm, pulled her over, and roared,

"The rescue time limit hasn't been reached. She still has a chance to wake up. Keep trying!"

"Sir, sir!"

Seeing Zhou Ze grabbing Dr. Lin so roughly, the two nurses immediately stepped forward to pull him away. In their eyes, Dr. Lin's husband was acting strangely and was showing signs of domestic violence.

Zhou Ze pushed away the two nurses next to him, released his grip, and murmured,

"Where are you, where are you? Where are you?"

Zhou Ze rushed out, running and searching.

Just now, the girl's soul was still wandering among the children, comforting them. Now, she was nowhere to be found.

Had she already gone to hell?

Was she already dead?

Was it too late?

Zhou Ze was a little lost. He didn't know why he was so agitated or why he was so anxious.

Perhaps it was because of his profession. It was his duty to save any patient who had a chance to live, and that kind, strong girl had interacted with him earlier.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

The familiar childish voice sounded behind Zhou Ze. He immediately turned around and saw the little girl again.

But the little girl's body wasn't as solid as before. Now, she had become translucent.

"Uncle, I'm a little cold." The little girl hugged her arms and squatted down. "I went to the nurse to ask if I could borrow a coat, but the nurses ignored me. Do they not like me? Am I annoying?"

Glimmers of light constantly emanated from the little girl's body. Zhou Ze had seen this scene before. It had happened to him.

"Xu Le, come back with me!"

Dr. Lin came over at this moment.

The little girl turned her head, looking behind her.

"Don't look!"

Zhou Ze stepped forward and reached out to cover the little girl's eyes. No one knew what would happen when she saw her own body lying on the hospital bed.

Would she break down?

Would she realize she was dead and then dissipate directly?

When Zhou Ze's hand touched the little girl's body, his fingernails heated up slightly. They didn't lengthen or turn black, but Zhou Ze felt a burning sensation. At the same time, the little girl's body began to twist, turning into a halo that surrounded Zhou Ze's fingertips. Obviously, no one else could see this light.

"Get out of the way. She can still be saved!" Zhou Ze rushed towards the bed again.

"Xu Le!" Dr. Lin's chest rose and fell. The dead were gone. She didn't know what her husband was still babbling about. Moreover, her husband had studied civil engineering and had nothing to do with medicine.

This time, when Zhou Ze rushed over, the two young nurses didn't dare to stop him. Zhou Ze pulled back the white sheet and placed his hands on the girl's chest.

Yes, that's how he had come back to life.

Your soul is out,

but it can still go back in.

You can live!

After seeing the light from his fingertips disappear into the girl's body, Zhou Ze began to perform CPR, stacking his hands and pressing down on the girl's chest.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

The two nurses didn't dare to approach and looked at Dr. Lin.

"She's dead."

Dr. Lin walked to Zhou Ze and said.

"The golden hour for rescue hasn't passed yet. I've been keeping track of the time." Zhou Ze shouted while continuing to press down, "She can live, she can live!"

Dr. Lin pursed her lips, reached out and pushed Zhou Ze away, and then began to press down on the girl's chest herself,

"You're using too much force. She's injured. Ah Chun, reattach the equipment and continue the rescue."

Zhou Ze was pushed away but didn't get angry. He just kept staring at the little girl on the bed.

The only stroke of luck was probably that the parents had been stopped by the traffic police. There were still so many children making noise outside that no one noticed what was happening here.

Dr. Lin continued to press down, and beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead. She didn't know why she was going crazy with this man, but for some reason, she had just seen something unusual in this man's eyes.

And this man was her husband. Today, she couldn't quite see through him.

The equipment was reconnected, but the screen still showed a straight line.

The two young nurses stood beside her, a little at a loss.

Couldn't she be saved?

Even if he put her soul back,

she couldn't be saved?

A sense of loss spread from Zhou Ze's heart.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Just then,

the previously flat line suddenly fluctuated.

Dr. Lin looked at the screen in shock.

Was this

a medical miracle?

……………………

It was already evening when they drove home from the hospital. Zhou Ze sat in the passenger seat, and Dr. Lin drove the car. They still weren't talking.

Silence seemed to be the standard for the couple's relationship. However, in the past, it was always Xu Le who tried to break the silence, but today, it was Dr. Lin.

"Did you study medicine?"

"No."

"Your technique just now was very professional." Dr. Lin could tell.

"I had some training when I took my driver's license test." Zhou Ze made up a reason.

"But you don't have a driver's license." Dr. Lin frowned slightly.

"..." Zhou Ze.

Well, Zhou Ze silently despised Xu Le again in his heart.

Dr. Lin didn't plan to delve any further, only saying, "Thank you for your persistence today."

"No need to thank me." Zhou Ze waved his hand. As…at least in his heart he still considered himself a doctor, saving a patient really didn't need thanks.

The girl hadn't woken up yet and was still unconscious, but at least there was hope.

"I'll thank you on behalf of that girl." Dr. Lin picked up her phone and looked at it. "It's almost eight o'clock. My parents are still waiting for us to come home for dinner."

Parents?

Zhou Ze suddenly felt a headache.

Was he going to meet his mother-in-law and father-in-law?

The car drove into a high-end residential area. Tongcheng was close to Shanghai, and geographically, it was located at one end of the Yangtze River estuary, while Shanghai was at the other. Although it wasn't as expensive as Shanghai, the housing prices weren't cheap either.

Dr. Lin parked the car and walked inside. Zhou Ze followed behind her. The two entered the elevator and came out together. Dr. Lin unlocked a door with her key.

The house was nicely decorated, with a duplex layout. In fact, you could tell from the car Dr. Lin drove that the Lin family's financial situation was probably good.

Of course, his current status as an "live-in son-in-law" was also proof of that. After all, a family without some money and confidence couldn't afford to recruit one.

On the sofa in the living room, an old man wearing a sweater with half-white hair was sitting there watching TV. It was a rerun of the news, and he was watching it with relish.

Even when his daughter and son-in-law came back, he only glanced at them and didn't say anything.

"Wanqiu, you're back."

The kitchen door was pushed open, and the mother-in-law poked her head out. Perhaps Dr. Lin and her younger sister's height were inherited from their mother. The mother-in-law was tall, and she was a little chubby at this time, but she was still the kind who could dominate the "Sunset Glow" square and attract countless old men and grandpas to bend over for her.

Chalkboard, take notes, highlight,

Zhou Ze finally knew his wife's full name – Lin Wanqiu.

The mother-in-law's eyes swept over Zhou Ze, and she obviously frowned a little.

"Old man, dinner's ready. Wanqiu is back."

"It's finally time to eat." The younger sister walked out of the study. She waved her fist at Zhou Ze, then pursed her lips, signaling Zhou Ze to pay attention to her parents.

This small gesture was pretty good. Although this little girl was a bit unreasonable, she wasn't too outrageous.

Zhou Ze went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Lin Wanqiu also came while he was washing. The two rubbed their hands together with hand sanitizer, and they rubbed them very carefully.

Lin Wanqiu glanced at Zhou Ze a few more times, then rinsed her hands with water and walked into the living room.

Zhou Ze also rinsed his hands, wiped them with a paper towel, and walked out of the bathroom.

Everyone was seated. Zhou Ze sat down on the chair next to Lin Wanqiu.

The mother-in-law put the rice bowls on the table one by one with a sullen face, and she obviously used a little more force when placing them in front of Zhou Ze.

Fortunately,

she didn't deliberately not give me rice.

Zhou Ze thought to himself.

"Xu Le, do you think we're treating you badly?" The mother-in-law said before even eating.

"It's pretty good." Zhou Ze replied.

"Then you not coming home last night, who were you throwing a tantrum at…"

"Mom, eat. He had some things to do at the store. He told me." Lin Wanqiu said.

The mother-in-law and father-in-law looked at each other, a little surprised that their eldest daughter was actually willing to speak up for this son-in-law. This made them a little uncomfortable, and they forgot to continue their attack for a moment.

The younger sister was also a little surprised as she watched from the side. Her sister had never really cared about this so-called brother-in-law before. Had the sun risen in the west today?

"Let's eat." The father-in-law picked up his chopsticks and signaled. "You eat too." The father-in-law pointed at Zhou Ze with his chopsticks.

Well, this behavior was a little impolite, but fortunately, it signaled that what happened last night was over.

"Wanqiu, eat a piece of braised pork. Mom stewed it for a long time."

The mother-in-law put a piece of meat in the bowls of both her daughters, then hesitated for a moment before putting a piece of meat in her son-in-law's bowl as well.

Zhou Ze then realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day, from last night when he borrowed a corpse to resurrect, until this morning and noon, he hadn't eaten anything.

He wasn't polite either.

He picked up the meat and put it in his mouth.

Immediately afterward,

Zhou Ze's face stiffened.

An unexpected feeling of nausea came from his heart, and even his stomach began to spasm frantically.

"Ugh..." Zhou Ze dry heaved, as if he was eating poison.

"..." The mother-in-law.

"..." The father-in-law.

The atmosphere at the dining table

instantly froze.
