Chapter 81 Sheng Tingwang, are you my nemesis?
When Sheng Tingwang arrived at the swimming pool, it was empty.
This shouldn't be happening on the weekend.
It was so quiet that only the low hum of the circulating water system could be heard.
His heart tightened.
I hurried to the service desk. "Are you closed today?"
The voice that opened was more urgent than expected.
The staff member looked up from his computer: "There was an unexpected inspection, so the area was cleared and disinfected ahead of time. Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Sheng Tingwang swiped open his phone screen and held up Wen Shuyi's photo in front of the other person. "Have you seen her? She came this afternoon with a little boy."
The staff member frowned, looked at the footage for a few seconds, and shook his head: "There are too many customers, I don't remember much... If you're looking for someone, I suggest you go to the security room and check the surveillance footage."
"it is good."
Sheng Tingwang ran.
In the monitoring room, he stared at the fast-forwarded footage.
Until a familiar figure walked into the frame...
Time jumps.
His focus remained on Wen Shuyi until he saw the pool cover slowly closing.
"Someone come here..."
Sheng Tingwang suddenly stood up, the chair scraping backward with a screeching sound. "There's someone in the pool! Open the pool cover!"
The staff member's face turned pale instantly; such negligence could very well cost him his job.
"Impossible, it was checked during the clearance..."
"Open it! Hurry up."
Sheng Tingwang's voice had changed tone.
The cover slowly slid open to both sides with a mechanical hum, exposing the pool water to the air again, causing it to ripple and sway.
Sheng Tingwang spotted it immediately: the hazy gray shadow at the bottom of the pool.
He strode quickly toward the pool, ripped off his jacket and threw it on the ground, and jumped into the water almost the instant the cover was fully opened.
The water was bone-chillingly cold.
All I could hear was my own heart pounding.
Closer and closer...
Wen Shuyi hugged her legs, curled up into a small ball, her eyes tightly closed, her long hair spread out like seaweed, her face expressionless, pale to the point of being almost transparent.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her forcefully toward him. Then he turned and kicked the water with all his might, rushing toward the shimmering light above him.
The moment he broke through the water, he gasped for breath, his trembling hand immediately reaching for her breath...
"Is it due to neglect?"
"Shuyi, wake up..."
"Someone, call an ambulance..."
……
Wen Shu was also rescued.
There was no real danger to his life.
When Gu Lin learned the truth, he felt that the accident was quite inexplicable.
"The swimming pool was cleared out, but Wen Shuyi was the only one who didn't hear it?" That's a bit strange. "Luckily, Wen Shuyi can hold her breath, so there was still a bit of air between the cover and the water surface. Otherwise, she would have died in these few hours."
Sheng Tingwang's face turned ashen.
It's strange, it really is strange.
But he had seen the surveillance footage and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Is she alright, her brain isn't damaged?"
"No, it's just a lack of oxygen. After receiving oxygen, you'll sleep for a few hours, so don't worry too much."
When Wen Shu also woke up.
Sheng Tingwang was sitting by her bedside, looking at her with worry and heartache.
She blinked.
Recalling those few hours in the dark in the pool, she felt a little scared and pursed her lips.
"I'm so lucky to be alive."
She felt wronged.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Sheng Tingwang raised his hand to wipe away her tears, saying, "Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune."
"Why am I always the one who's unlucky?" Luckily, Duoduo left early, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. "Sheng Tingwang, are you my nemesis?"
"I……"
He was wronged.
But I couldn't bring myself to argue with her. "Okay, I'll be your bad luck, but I'll try not to be anymore, okay?"
Tang Fengyu knocked on the door of the ward.
Walked in.
She had been restless at home for a long time.
Hearing that Wen Shuyi was alright, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. "Shuyi, are you alright? How could such a thing happen? I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you're okay."
Wen Shuyi didn't know whether Tang Fengyu was sincere or not.
She didn't take it to heart, and simply replied politely, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"Aji, let's get Shuyi a bodyguard from now on. That way, everyone will feel at ease when she goes out," Tang Fengyu said softly.
Sheng Tingwang listened attentively and turned to Wen Shuyi, asking, "How was it?"
"I don't want to." What's the difference between this and installing a surveillance camera on her? "This was just an accident, it's not like anyone wanted to harm me, I don't need bodyguards."
"Although it was an accident, but..." Tang Fengyu glanced at her son, "...having someone by your side means you can at least look after them."
Wen Shu also refused.
It's not that she's ungrateful.
Given her relationship with Sheng Tingwang, such a setup is completely unnecessary.
"I appreciate your kindness." Wen Shuyi looked at Sheng Tingwang, wanting to discuss her work situation with him. "Duoduo is in school now, and I can't help with Qiao Shen's treatment. I still owe you so much money. I'd like to work at Haitang, is that okay?"
"Shuyi, you can just stay at home eating and drinking, isn't that great? Aji treats you so well, why do you have to suffer?"
Tang Fengyu couldn't help but say something more.
Wen Shuyi chuckled.
They all treated her like a parasite.
But she hates parasitizing others the most.
"Sheng Tingwang, I not only want to go back to work at Haitang, I also want to move out of your house."
Tang Fengyu glanced at her son.
His complexion was really not good.
She was afraid that Sheng Tingwang would misunderstand because she and her daughter had driven Wen Shuyi away from home.
She hurriedly said, "Shuyi, is it because Zhenzhen and I are at home that you feel uncomfortable? Aji has already asked someone to find us a suitable house. You should stay. He will be sad if you leave."
Wen Shuyi: ...
That's not what she meant.
"Auntie, you are Sheng Tingwang's family. Whether you live in his house or not is your business. I'm leaving because this is not my home. I have no relationship with Sheng Tingwang. Living here will not be good for my reputation, my mood, or anything else."
Although Sheng Tingwang had asked her to come and be Duoduo's nanny.
But she doesn't want to be one anymore.
Even if he demands 100 million yuan in compensation, she will not stay any longer.
She desperately needs a space of her own.
My own life.
Most importantly, she genuinely felt that Sheng Ting was deliberately trying to bring her bad luck.
She had to leave; his environment was there.
Sheng Tingwang remained silent throughout.
Wen Shuyi took it as his agreement.
then.
She chose an auspicious day to be discharged from the hospital.
They picked another auspicious day and moved out of the house on Yangguan Avenue.
Li Suian came to help her move.
There wasn't much of it actually.
The newly rented apartment is a small two-bedroom unit.
It's far from Yangguan Avenue, but very close to Haitang Studio.
"So many years have passed, and I still don't own a house of my own. I've worked so hard, but the reality is... it's so hard to have a home of my own."
Wen Shu also sighed.
Looking at the decent rental apartment, Li Suian comforted her, "I'm the same way. After all these years, I still don't own a house, and I don't even have a man. I'm even worse off than you."
"Men are better off without."
"You have possessed it, but I have never possessed it. You know, something with body temperature is always different from something without body temperature."
Wen Shuyi shook her head. "You're wrong. You can control the time if you don't have body temperature, but you can't get rid of a man with body temperature because he hasn't had his pleasure yet. Sui An, men are only good for foreplay, that's about it."
