Chapter 376 - 370 It’s Because You’re Chuchu



Madam Ma panicked after Zhao Chuchu pointed out that Zhao Zhizhi’s behavior was off before she was killed.

‘You’re spouting nonsense. There was nothing wrong with Zhizhi’s behavior,” Madam Ma denied immediately.

“Are you sure? Think carefully. Would a sane person do what she had done? Madam Ma, I pity you for almost losing your son. However, it’s better for you to recall what happened in the past thoroughly. Don’t go around blaming innocent people for crimes they did not commit. A single misstep might lead you to make even more mistakes.”

“It’s impossible! It’s definitely impossible!”

Zhao Chuc.hu reminded her, saying, “Zhao Zhizhi called me an evil spirit. Did you forget about that?”

“She… She…”

Zhao Chuchu’s rebuttal scattered Madam Ma’s thoughts.

In reality, Zhao Zhizhi was indeed killed by Zhao Chuchu.

However, the latter killed the former in self-defense.

Zhao Chuchu was not a saint. Of course, she acted first before Zhao Zhizhi could harm her. Would she be so foolish as to keep Zhao Zhizhi, a reborn person, around and allow the latter to interfere with her plan?

Moreover, Zhao Zhizhi clearly had the same intention as Sikou Qin. Both of them had fallen in love with Xie Heng and wanted to marry him.

Zhao Chuchu would not tell Madam Ma the truth.

She would never admit to anyone that she was the cause of Zhao Zhizhi’s death.

It was not because she was afraid of the consequences. Rather, she believed it was unnecessary for her to tell others about it.

After all, everyone witnessed Zhao Zhizhi being stabbed to death by the officials after she frightened them.

Zhao Chuchu added, “I could cure all of you, yet Zhao Zhizhi insisted that I needed to die in order to end the plague. If I actually died, would all of you still be alive now? We are both adults. By right, you should understand such simple logic better than I do.”

Madam Ma felt dizzy. She couldn’t think of anything to refute Zhao Chuchu’s words.

Zhao Chuchu threw off her thought process. The more she recalled, the more she felt something was off with Zhao Zhizhi. The latter even knew when it would rain.

Madam Ma understood her own daughter well. Aside from makeup and dreaming about marrying a good husband, Zhao Zhizhi was unconcerned about everything else. How would she know that it was about to rain?

The only logical explanation for her abnormality was that some stray ghost had taken over her body.

When Zhao Chuchu saw the look of terror on Madam Ma’s face, she knew that Madam Ma’s thoughts were in her grasp.

“I don’t mind that you think that I’m suspicious. However, you should think about what really happened before you accuse me.”

Zhao Chuchu left without turning back after she said this, leaving Madam Ma standing there alone, consumed by fear.

From everyone’s point of view, Zhao Zhizhi’s speech and actions were bizarre and could not be explained with logic.

When the villagers gossiped about her privately, they too, suspected that a ghost possessed her before she died. If she was sane, why would she behave so strangely?

Every time Madam Ma overheard their conversations, she was subconsciously influenced by their opinions. However, she refused to believe so.

Now that Zhao Chuchu had pointed this out, Madam Ma began to doubt herself. Was her speculation about Zhao Zhizhi’s death wrong?

Madam Ma had no answer to this question.

Nevertheless, she would no longer suspect Zhao Chuchu after the latter openly discussed Zhao Zhizhi’s death without a hint of guilt.

Zhao Chuc.hu was unaware of what was happening in Madam Ma’s mind. Even if the latter insisted that she was the murderer and wanted to seek revenge, she couldn’t care less about it.

Why would she care about an insignificant ant?

Zhao Chuc.hu only wanted to have a good bath and a good night’s sleep now. Recently, she felt something was wrong with her superpowers. Every time after she used it, she would feel exhausted.

This was something that she had never experienced before.

She had no one to consult regarding this issue, so she could only sleep more to replenish her energy.

Xie Heng had caringly boiled a pot of water. The water temperature was just nice when Zhao Chuchu reached home.

When she walked in, Xie Heng asked, “Do you want to take a bath and rest for a while?”

Zhao Chuchu was amused. She replied, “Da Lang, did you read my mind? How did you know that I wanted to take a bath?”

“It’s because you’re Chuchu.” Xie Heng paid close attention to everything Chuchu did, so naturally, he could predict what she desired.

“This feels great!” Zhao Chuchu sighed in contentment.

Xie Heng put her medicine box in the room.

He instructed, “I will fill up the tub. You can grab your clothes first.”

“Alright. ”

Xie Heng left the room after he put down the medicine box.

Zhao Chuchu stared at his tall silhouette and thought, “It feels nice to be taken care of.”

Honestly, Zhao Chuchu had a lot of suitors in the past, but none of them were as caring as Xie Heng.

If she had encountered a suitor who was half as caring as Xie Heng, she would not have remained single throughout her past life.

She did not look for clothes immediately. Instead, she disposed of the blood transfusion set in the medicine box. After that, she took out some herbs and supplements that were used to replenish blood loss from her carry-on space.

She packed them and instructed Xie Heng to send them to the Chen residence. Only then did she take her bath.

By the time Xie Heng returned from his delivery, Zhao Chuchu was already in bed. However, she was still awake.

When Xie Heng entered the room, she was reading a book.

He sat beside the bed and stroked her hair, asking, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I don’t feel sleepy yet.”

“What are you reading?”

Xie Heng took a glance at Zhao Chuchu’s book and saw a bunch of curly symbols. He didn’t recognize a single word.

“What characters are these?” Xie Heng asked as he pointed at the letters.

Zhao Chuchu explained, “This is the language used by my country. This book is regarded as a masterpiece, but I wouldn’t say I like it. Whenever I can’t sleep, I read it to lull myself to sleep. It’s very effective.”

“Unfortunately, I do not know this language. If not, I could read it for you.

Reading in bed is not good for your eyes.”

“Da Lang, did you forget something?”

“Hmm?”

“I’m a doctor. My eyes will not go bad. Do you want to learn this language?

Zhao Chuchu asked as she waved the book in front of him.

“Are you going to teach me?”

“Hmm. Who knows? Maybe you will need to use it one day.”

“Alright, but I am a little dim-witted. I’m afraid that I will be a very slow learner. Please do not get angry at me.”

Zhao Chuchu rolled her eyes upon hearing this. She said, “Da Lang, if you spoke like this back in my country, you would be beaten to death.”

An academic prodigy claimed to be dim-witted. Wasn’t he practically seeking a good beating?

Xie Heng smiled softly and said, “I have never come in contact with this before. I might not be able to learn this well.”

“Don’t you worry.”

Zhao Chuchu really wanted to know which bastard dared to claim that Xie Heng’s learning ability was subpar.

“However, I don’t have time to teach you now. I need to sleep first,” said Zhao Chuchu. She fumbled about in her carry-on space for some time. She then took out a picture guide for kids and passed it to Xie Heng. She instructed, “Learn what is on here first. We will talk once I wake up.”

“Alright,” said Xie Heng as he took the item. He was eager to learn and was very interested in new things.

Moreover, this was a secret between him and Zhao Chuchu. He wished that they had more of these secrets. That way, he could occupy her time with peace of mind and spend time with her alone.

Zhao Chuchu did not know how divergent Xie Heng’s thoughts became because of this.

While reading, it did not take long for her to be unable to keep her eyelids open. The book she was reading fell on her face, and she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

Xie Heng heard Zhao Chuchu’s steady breathing. After a short while, he carefully lifted the book off her face and placed it to one side. He then tucked her into bed.

He gazed at her with glistening eyes. His gaze was gentle and attentive, seemingly absorbing Zhao Chuchu’s entire being into it.
