"Right, right, right."
Xia Xue nodded repeatedly. "I can keep you company for a while longer."
Song Yue looked worried for a moment, then her tone shifted. "At least it'll give me some courage."
Xia Xue blinked in surprise and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"Is someone bullying you?"
Unknowingly, Xia Xue had been drawn into Song Yue's words.
"Sister Xue, you know how it is, trouble follows a widow."
Song Yue gave a bitter smile. "I'm used to it, but don't worry, they wouldn't dare knock on my door in the middle of the night."
"They just say some filthy things at the back window, it's fine..."
As Song Yue was saying this, Lin Fan suddenly interrupted, "How is it fine?"
Lin Fan spoke with righteous indignation, "Bullies are like springs; the weaker you are, the stronger they become!"
"Believe me, if they see you don't dare to speak up, they'll get bolder and bolder. Who knows, they might even climb over the wall and come into your house."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, both beautiful women showed fear.
They had similar experiences and had often been too scared to sleep at night due to slight noises.
Lin Fan continued with conviction, "Sister-in-law, we can't just ignore this. Anyway, we're building a big house, and Yueyue is all alone. Why don't we let her move in with us then? We can discuss other plans later."
Song Yue waved her hand. "No, that wouldn't be good."
Her acting skills improved dramatically as she said sadly, "I can handle it alone. At worst, I'll fight them."
Xia Xue looked at the child in Song Yue's arms and said sympathetically, "Sister, Xiao Fan is right. We can't just stand by and watch you get bullied."
"Listen to me, at least I have Xiao Fan. No one will dare to bully you."
"Sister Xue..." Song Yue's eyes welled up as she remembered her past misfortunes.
If she hadn't been so immersed in her act, she would have been sobbing uncontrollably by now.
"It'll be okay. Everything will get better. I got through it, didn't I?"
Xia Xue put an arm around her shoulder, recalling some unhappy memories herself.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was covering his mouth, secretly chuckling behind his hand.
Song Yue glared at him and mouthed, "You heartless thing, what are you laughing at?"
Lin Fan lowered his hand and mouthed back, "From now on, no one else will bully you. Only I will."
His heart warmed, and he grew bolder.
"Little scoundrel."
Song Yue rolled her eyes at him, a hint of seductiveness in her gaze.
Just then, a cough was heard from outside.
"A patient is here?"
Lin Fan stood up.
Xia Xue glanced back and said, "Then I'll be going back. You two carry on."
Lin Fan handed her the paper bag and bank card, earnestly saying, "Sister-in-law, keep the money safe."
"Then..." Xia Xue hesitated for a moment, then took the money and walked towards the exit.
But after taking only a couple of steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back. "I'll go to the village secretary's house this afternoon. Yesterday, when I was tying up the cabbages, he ran into me and seemed very unhappy. He complained that I didn't plant all corn and didn't inform the village committee."
Lin Fan chuckled. "Sister-in-law, don't worry about him. In this poor and remote place, he's got no real power, but he sure likes to meddle."
Song Yue nodded vigorously, agreeing with Lin Fan.
"You can't say that. The local magistrate is more influential than a distant official. Anyway, don't bother with it. I'll go."
Xia Xue turned around and continued as she walked out, "I'll go back and cook for you two first. It's too hot, I'll make you a cold dish."
With that, she left the room.
Several patients entered the room.
Lin Fan, busy all morning, finally had some free time at one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sister Yue, you can give injections without any problems, right?"
Lin Fan stood by the counter, looking at Song Yue with a serious expression.
Song Yue rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry, my great physician Lin. A shot of clem for a cold or fever won't kill anyone."
"Even if it doesn't work, I left my number. We can follow up with a check-up tomorrow."
Lin Fan nodded. "That's good. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yue called him back. "Wait."
Song Yue walked out from behind the counter and closed the door.
Lin Fan, not understanding, asked, "Sister Yue, what are you doing?"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time," Song Yue said, taking his arm. "Since we're lovers now, we should do something lovers do."
"Huh?" Lin Fan scratched his head. "What do lovers do?"
"Oh, come on!" Song Yue's eyes sparkled with allure. "Just come with me!"
With that, Song Yue forcefully pulled him along, and they entered the west ward together.
Once inside, Lin Fan finally realized. "Sister Yue, it's the middle of the day. Don't do this. It's not good if someone sees."
Although he had desired her body for a long time, he had never had the courage or the opportunity.
So, faced with such an主动 invitation from a beauty like Song Yue, he didn't know how to refuse.
"Don't worry, Xiao Fan. It's not that I'm looking down on you, but it won't take long."
Song Yue closed the door and teased him with confidence.
"I..." Lin Fan stammered for a while.
Then, he said hesitantly, "Yue, Sister Yue, let's, let's talk about it when the house is built."
"No need," Song Yue said, pointing to the sickbed. "Just sit on the bed."
Her voice was tinged with shy sensuality as she added, "My silly husband brought this up several times, but I never agreed. Today, you're lucky."
Hearing her say that, Lin Fan could roughly guess what she intended to do, making it even harder to refuse.
Damn!
He never expected something like this to happen!
When he was in school, there were some novels circulating among the male students that didn't have covers. A few of those novels described similar scenarios.
At the time, he thought it was all made up. Now, he was the protagonist.
Haha!
Lin Fan's breathing quickened, and his heart pounded faster and faster.
"Xiao Fan, am I good?"
Song Yue asked with a seductive smile. Although she knew what Lin Fan's answer would be, she still asked.
As she expected, Lin Fan nodded vigorously. "Good!"
Lin Fan's voice trembled.
No wonder men wanted to fall in love!
It felt so good!
"Then, no matter what happens, you must never forget me."
Song Yue said, and was about to give Lin Fan a taste of sweetness.
But just then, a loud shout came from outside.
"Xiao Fan!"
It was Xia Xue.
Xia Xue entered the room and, seeing no one, shouted upstairs again. "Sister Yue!"
"Hello, where is everyone?"
Xia Xue's brows furrowed, and she started to feel a little panicked.
"Sister Xue, Xiao Fan has a stomachache and is lying down in the ward."
Song Yue's voice returned to normal as she responded.
"Oh, so you're inside."
Xia Xue finished speaking and walked over, pushing open the door to enter.
"Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"
Xia Xue entered the room and saw Lin Fan looking pained, so she didn't think much of it.
"It's nothing, sister-in-law. My stomach just hurts a little."
Lin Fan's face was pale, and it wasn't an act. Song Yue, flustered by Xia Xue's calls, had suddenly pressed down on his groin.
