My passionate night with the beauty

"You're finally dead!"

Sitting behind the bar, Zhou Rui looked somewhat dazed. The woman's voice that had suddenly appeared in his mind was so clear, yet quickly faded and blurred, as if it were just a hallucination.

Looking at the empty shop, he felt as if something had just happened, but he didn't know how to put it.

It was like something had happened, but he had forgotten it.

Just then, a series of loud bangs came from the bar counter in front of him, followed by a sharp voice: "Zhou Rui, how come you're becoming more and more ill-mannered? Do you think

I'm invisible?!" Zhou Rui looked up at the middle-aged woman sitting opposite him, then snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Sorry, Mom, I think I was just hallucinating..."

"What hallucination? You're just ignoring what I say. Don't think you're safe just because Yun'er married you. If it weren't for that wise man arranging the marriage between our two families back then, what right do you have to marry my daughter! Now look at you, running this run-down bookstore all day, not even earning a thousand yuan a month. How are you going to support Yun'er? You can't even afford a lipstick for her!" The woman continued pounding on the somewhat worn-out bar counter, completely ignoring the fact that it was almost falling apart.

A bitter expression appeared on Zhou Rui's face as he listened with his head down, not daring to argue.

Sitting opposite him was his mother-in-law, Song Fengxue, who ran a small clinic in Qingzhou City. Although small, it still brought in a few hundred thousand yuan a year.

His father-in-law, Ji Zemin, was a history professor at Qingzhou University. Compared to such figures, his junior high school education was practically illiterate.

As for his wife, Ji Qingyun, she not only had the looks and figure of a big star, but she was also a top student from a young age. After graduating from university, she entered a large company and became a middle manager at a young age, earning an annual salary of over 500,000 yuan.

Zhou Rui himself lost his parents in a car accident when he was in second grade and relied on the Ji family's support to get through junior high school.

His parents' tragedy was a huge blow to him, and being raised by relatives at such a young age made him timid and introverted. He dropped out of school after junior high.

To others, it seemed like he dropped out because of poor grades, but in reality, Zhou Rui didn't want people to say he was always spending the Ji family's money.

This bookstore was the only inheritance his parents left him, but in today's society, who still buys books? The bookstore's business was getting worse and worse, with a monthly net profit of less than a thousand yuan.

What everyone couldn't understand was why Ji Qingyun would marry such a good-for-nothing. Countless people gossiped behind her back, saying Zhou Rui was a gigolo.

Zhou Rui knew a little about the reasons, but he always felt that the so-called expert was spouting nonsense. What about the Ji family's impending doom, the idea that without him, they would be ruined?

Could that be possible?

The Ji family was thriving, everything looked good; there was no sign of impending doom.

"I don't care what Old Ji says, I won't let my daughter stay in this hellhole forever. There are still three months until the New Year, I won't make things difficult for you. After the New Year, you two will divorce, and I'll give you 500,000 yuan. From then on, neither of you will owe the other anything!"

Hearing his mother-in-law Song Fengxue's words, Zhou Rui still hung his head, nodding sullenly.

Seeing his expression, Song Fengxue was even more furious. How could such a spineless man be worthy of her daughter? She couldn't understand what she was thinking, actually believing those lies from over twenty years ago!

"Useless trash, I can't stand looking at you!" Song Fengxue said, slapping several old books off the counter and walking away.

Zhou Rui finally looked up, his face clearly showing bitterness and resentment. But his mother-in-law was telling the truth; he truly wasn't worthy of being with Ji Qingyun.

Despite the scolding, Zhou Rui still stood up and saw his mother-in-law off.

Once outside the shop, Song Fengxue drove off.

"Got scolded again?" a man in his thirties asked from the entrance of the beef soup shop.

Zhou Rui gave a wry smile, nodded, and was about to turn and go inside when a little girl of about six or seven years old ran up to him from the shop, blinking her big eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhou Rui, can I come to read after I finish my homework?"

The man walked over and picked up the little girl, saying, "How many times have I told you, you have to call me uncle."

"It's okay, Brother Wang, I actually really wish I had a little sister like Xiaoling," Zhou Rui said. After his parents died, his relatives stopped contacting him, so he longed for a connection with family more than anyone else. Just as he was about to speak to the little girl, Zhou Rui suddenly noticed a bright red light on her forehead, very conspicuous.

"Xiaoling, your forehead..."

"What's wrong with my forehead?" the little girl asked, touching her forehead.

Zhou Rui looked at her, then at Brother Wang, who ran the beef soup shop, and asked in confusion, "Can't you see it?"

"Can't see what?" Brother Wang also looked puzzled.

Zhou Rui didn't know how to explain, and fearing he was hallucinating from the pressure, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let Xiaoling read after she finishes her homework."

"Forget it today, we need to go back early to buy beef," Brother Wang said.

Zhou Rui didn't try to persuade him further, nodded, and went back to his shop.

After picking up the books his mother-in-law, Song Fengxue, had knocked off the floor, Zhou Rui sat behind the counter for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed something new on the counter.

There were several freshly cut walnuts for collecting, but they weren't of very good quality. His father-in-law, Ji Zemin, loved these kinds of collectibles, and it was his birthday soon, so Zhou Rui had wanted to try his luck and see if he could cut a pair of better quality ones as a gift.

Besides the walnuts, there was also a white ancient book next to it, with several obscure symbols, or rather, characters, on the cover.

Zhou Rui was certain he had never seen such characters before, but he clearly knew their meaning: "The Book of Morality, May Your Wishes Come True."

A hint of doubt rose in Zhou Rui's eyes; he didn't remember having such a book.

What puzzled him even more was that when he looked at the book, he saw six tiny golden lights, each the size of a grain of rice, hanging on the cover. To be precise, it was his left eye that saw them.

If he closed his left eye, he would find the bar counter empty. When he opened it, the ancient book and the golden light were still there, leaving Zhou Rui utterly astonished.

He vaguely felt that the sudden appearance of his strange left eye, and the ancient book on the bar counter, were related to something he had just forgotten. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall what he had forgotten; it was as if a period of his memory had vanished.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Rui slowly reached out and touched the ancient book, which could only be seen with his left eye.

Surprisingly, even though he could only see it with one eye, it felt substantial to the touch.

The cover felt like some kind of leather, warm and soft to the touch. It was strange in itself that a book could feel as warm as skin.

Curiosity overcame everything else, and Zhou Rui slowly opened the cover, only to find that the inner pages were blank.

He gave a wry smile. What was this?

Looking down at the few ornamental walnuts beside him, Zhou Rui sighed. With walnuts like these, if he gave them to his father-in-law, they'd probably be thrown in the trash on the spot.

But what was so fun about these things?

He picked up a walnut and rubbed it in his palm, imitating others, while picking up the strange book with his other hand, wanting to study it further.

The pages were still blank, and although it looked like it had many pages, only one could actually be turned; the others seemed glued together.

Zhou Rui sighed again, feeling the raw, smooth texture of the walnuts in his palm. He subconsciously recalled the introduction to collectible walnuts.

What the best walnuts looked like, how to identify them—these questions flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, Zhou Rui felt something extra beside him. Looking down, he froze.

A table full of collectible walnuts, each one astonishingly large.

He was completely dumbfounded. How could there suddenly be so many walnuts? Just then, his eyes caught a glimpse of the inner pages of the wordless book—a pair of walnuts slowly emerging from the pages.

This sight almost made Zhou Rui fall off his chair.

Emerging from the book?

Looking closer, he saw lines of text on the pages that looked so familiar. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't it the description of the most perfect collectible walnuts that he had just recalled in his mind?

So, what he was thinking about had come true in this strange book?

Staring at the pile of top-quality collectible walnuts on the table and the strange book, Zhou Rui was stunned for a long time before noticing that there were only five clusters of golden light on the book, when there were clearly six!

Looking at the strange words on the cover, Zhou Rui vaguely guessed a possibility, and excitement gradually appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that this golden light could make his thoughts come true in the book? This guess matched the other four words on the cover: "May your wishes come true!"

Zhou Rui was over twenty years old and still hadn't achieved anything. Besides lacking confidence and education, the most important reason was his health.

Although he survived the car accident years ago, the injuries had weakened his body, and he was still sickly to this day, even having difficulty carrying fifty kilograms of rice. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't need to be stuck in this shabby bookstore.

Therefore, what he needed most now was to get his health back.

After some thought, Zhou Rui stared at the strange book, his mind filled with thoughts of health.

Just as he expected, the second golden light on the book slowly dissipated, and the second page automatically turned. The word "health" appeared on that page.

A strange energy gradually entered his body. His body began to warm, followed by a surge of strength.

After about ten minutes, the golden light completely dissipated, and Zhou Rui felt as if he had taken a powerful tonic, his complexion rosy and his spirits high.

He stood up and stretched out his hands to test the weight under the bar counter.

The solid wood bar counter weighed at least a hundred pounds, and previously, Zhou Rui couldn't even budge it with all his might. But now, with just a light touch, he almost lifted the bar counter. He had

truly recovered! And much healthier than he had imagined!

Zhou Rui was overjoyed, but when he looked at the strange book, he couldn't help but frown.

As he had guessed, his wish-fulfilling ability was directly related to the golden light on the book. However, he had absolutely no idea how to restore the golden light. If he couldn't restore it, he would only have four chances.

Would it be automatically generated over time, or were there other conditions?

Staring at the strange characters on the cover, "The Book of Morality"? Zhou Rui vaguely felt that he was about to grasp some key.

At this moment, the sound of brakes rang out at the shop entrance. Then, a young and beautiful woman appeared at the door with a cold expression, saying, "Zhou Rui, are you not planning to go home?"

When he saw this woman, Zhou Rui's lips curled into a bitter smile, because it was none other than his wife, Ji Qingyun.

The door was still some distance from the bar, and with the wooden board in front of the bar, Ji Qingyun didn't see the pile of top-quality walnuts on the table.

Of course, even if she had seen them, Ji Qingyun wouldn't have cared. Because in her eyes, whatever Zhou Rui did was associated with "sitting around waiting to die."

No education, no professional skills, and even his body was too weak to lift a chicken.

Hoping that Zhou Rui would be successful was less than the ease with which she herself would strive for a promotion at the company.

"Coming right away, coming right away!" Zhou Rui hurriedly grabbed a tote bag, picked out some items, and put them inside. After thinking for a moment, he also put the strange book in, then carried the bag towards the door.

As he walked, he excitedly thought about telling his wife the good news: "Qingyun, do you know what I encountered today? This bag has..."

"Get in the car, Mom and Dad are waiting for us for dinner." Ji Qingyun didn't even look at him, turning around and getting into the car first.

Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was utterly worthless in her eyes.

"Brother Zhou Rui!" Xiao Ling's voice came from behind. Zhou Rui turned around and saw the little girl sitting on the back of the electric scooter, greeting him, while Brother Wang seemed to be still tidying up inside.

"Aren't you getting in?" Ji Qingyun said through the car window.

Zhou Rui waved to the little girl, then got into the luxury sedan worth over 500,000 yuan with a bitter expression. His previously good mood, now restored, instantly turned into utter dejection.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ji Qingyun glanced at Zhou Rui, noticing him clutching a worn-out handbag tightly. She asked, "Did my mother come today?"

Zhou Rui's grip tightened, and he gave a slight hum.

Ji Qingyun asked again, "What did she say?"

Zhou Rui habitually lowered his head, "Nothing."

"Is that so?" Ji Qingyun's voice grew even colder. After a few seconds, she said, "Do you know why everyone is disappointed in you? It's not because you're poor, nor because you lack education, but because you're too cowardly. Although I've never considered us a real couple, and we've never had a physical relationship, you didn't even dare to utter a sound when my mother forced you to divorce me. Are you even a man? Zhou Rui, I really don't want to spend my life with a man like you. Let's part amicably and not make things difficult for each other."

A bitter smile appeared on Zhou Rui's face. He finally understood that Ji Qingyun already knew about this. Perhaps her mother, Song Fengxue, had already discussed it with her before coming.

Indeed, what kind of man wouldn't dare to utter a sound when forced to divorce…

But… glancing subtly at Ji Qingyun, Zhou Rui's eyes were filled with pain. He truly loved this woman, from childhood to adulthood.

Even when she bullied him as a child, even when he suffered neglect and gossip as an adult, even when they slept in the same bed and on the floor every night, he never considered divorce.

Simply because he loved this woman. Even just sharing a room with her, being able to see her a few more times, was enough; he never dared to hope for anything more.

"I know my mother promised you 500,000, but I'll give you an extra million. Your health isn't very good, so save this money," Ji Qingyun added.

She wasn't a bad person; if Zhou Rui had behaved even a little better, he wouldn't have been so determined to divorce her. Unfortunately, Zhou Rui was too weak-willed.

"I don't want your money..." Zhou Rui said softly. He wanted Ji Qingyun to pursue her own happiness, but he didn't want people to say he was a gigolo after the divorce.

"Don't want money? Do you want the house?" Ji Qingyun clearly misunderstood him.

Zhou Rui shook his head again, clutching the bag to his chest, and said softly, "I just hope that even in the end, I can leave a good impression on you. And... actually I..."

Just as Zhou Rui was about to explain to Ji Qingyun that he had had a miraculous encounter and had the ability to change his current life, he suddenly heard a "bang".

Turning his head, Zhou Rui's heart tightened. A car had crashed into the entrance of the beef soup shop, crushing the electric scooter and Xiao Ling under its wheels. Brother Wang, who had just rushed out of the shop, nearly went crazy upon seeing the scene.

Without a word, Zhou Rui immediately got out of the car, and Ji Qingyun followed.

Reaching the shop entrance, they saw that Xiao Ling seemed severely injured, almost lifeless. The car driver, pale-faced, stood trembling beside them: "I...I lost control of the steering wheel..."

Ji Qingyun pulled out her phone to call the police and an ambulance. By this time, a considerable crowd had gathered.

A middle-aged man shouted, "Come on, lift the car up!"

Although Ji Qingyun was a woman, she still went over and rolled up her sleeves. Zhou Rui followed beside her, ready to lend a hand, when suddenly he saw Xiao Ling sit up.

To be precise, another version of her sat up.

Her body was still crushed under the wheels, and the other version of her appeared blurry, as if a gust of wind would dissipate her. After sitting up with a blank expression, Xiaoling glanced around, then stood up and walked in a certain direction.

Her body passed through the crowd without any hindrance, leaving Zhou Rui stunned.

A man, seeing him standing there dumbfounded, became impatient and pulled him behind him, angrily shouting, "Get lost if you're not going to help! What are you standing there for?!"

Squeezed out of the crowd, Zhou Rui stared at the blurry figure of the little girl, vaguely sensing that he had to stop her, or Xiaoling would be dead.

He didn't know why he had this thought, nor how to stop her, but he still followed his instinct and ran over.

Ji Qingyun caught a glimpse of this scene and sighed slightly. Not only did she not dare to save anyone, but she couldn't even look at them. Truly hopeless. But it didn't matter anyway; they wouldn't be on the same path after the New Year, so why think so much?

She didn't look any further and, following someone's command, joined in the effort to lift the car.

At this moment, Zhou Rui had already run up to the little girl and blocked her way: "Xiao Ling, where are you going?"

Xiao Ling looked up at him blankly, then murmured, "Big brother, I want to go home."

"Go home?" Zhou Rui looked in the direction of the car accident, then said, "You've gone the wrong way. Come back with me."

Xiao Ling seemed not to understand anything, nodded slightly, and raised her hand as if to be led by him. Zhou Rui hesitated, because he knew very well that the blurry little girl in front of him was not human. Her body was illusory, as evidenced by her passing through the crowd.

But looking at Xiao Ling's blank expression, he couldn't bear it, so he tentatively extended a finger.

A strange thing happened: Xiao Ling could pass through others, but she could grab his hand. His finger was slightly cold, as if it were wrapped in ice. No one noticed that his left eye lit up slightly.

Xiao Ling seemed to sense something and murmured, "Brother Zhou Rui, your hands are so warm."

Zhou Rui paused for a few seconds, then swallowed and said, "Well, let's go, I'll take you home."

He then led Xiao Ling towards the accident scene.

The car that had caused the accident had already been moved, and by the time Zhou Rui reached the vicinity, the ambulance had arrived.

Doctors and nurses rushed over with a stretcher, while traffic police dispersed the crowd. A doctor ran to Xiao Ling's body, examined her eyes, checked her pulse, and then sighed and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Brother Wang, standing nearby, realized something and immediately collapsed to the ground crying, "My daughter!"

Ji Qingyun, her hands covered in mud, also had tears welling in her eyes. She couldn't bear to see such a scene—a vibrant life, gone just like that. She was so young, with such a long future ahead of her.

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Wait! She's not dead yet!"

Then, Ji Qingyun saw Zhou Rui rushing over. When he was about a meter away from the little girl's body, the doctor stopped him: "Who are you? What do you want!"

Zhou Rui didn't have time to pay attention to him, turning to the little girl beside him and anxiously shouting, "Go back quickly! Didn't you want to go home? Going back will let you go home! Hurry up!"

No one else could see the other small figure.

Xiao Ling looked up at him, then at the lifeless body on the ground, nodded, and walked towards it.

At the same time, several people who had come to help earlier sneered, "He didn't help earlier, now he's playing tricks?"

"That's right, I saw him just now, standing there in a daze, and now that it's all over, he's coming to shed crocodile tears! What a scoundrel!"

"Don't be so shameless, I hate seeing people like you, get lost!"

The crowd was indignant; Zhou Rui's actions clearly made them feel insulted.

Zhou Rui didn't argue; he just stared intently at Xiao Ling's body. At that moment, the blurry figure was slowly merging with the body. The doctor and nurses then lifted Xiao Ling's body onto a stretcher and headed towards the ambulance.

Zhou Rui didn't know if his efforts were worthwhile, but he hoped they were.

Just then, he heard Ji Qingyun's scolding voice: "Zhou Rui, you've disappointed me so much!"

Turning around, he saw Ji Qingyun glaring at him with anger and disappointment before turning and walking towards the car.

Glancing at the already moving ambulance, Zhou Rui had no idea what would happen next. He silently prayed for the little girl before chasing after Ji Qingyun.

Behind him, a group of people pointed and whispered at his retreating figure, their faces full of contempt and disdain.

After Zhou Rui got into the car, Ji Qingyun gave him a cold look and asked, "You still have the nerve to come along? Get out! I don't want to go home with someone like you!"

"I was actually..."

"What? Everyone else was helping, what were you doing? Running off to another place and then coming back to pretend to care?" Tears welled up in Ji Qingyun's eyes: "Back then, my parents insisted that I marry you, thinking we believed those old-fashioned feudal sayings. But don't you know what the real reason was? You've disappointed me so much. I've given you so many chances over the years, but what have you done? Zhou Rui, I really don't want to wait like this anymore, and I don't want to see you again. Get out of the car right now!" Zhou Rui

felt a pang of sadness. Of course, he knew that Ji Qingyun's parents probably really did marry him because of those ridiculous things they said more than twenty years ago. And she, she just pitied him.

Ji Qingyun had always been a kind-hearted person. When they were little, she would occasionally tease him, but she was actually very good to him. She would always protect him when outsiders bullied him. In some ways, she was more like Zhou Rui's older sister.

It was out of sympathy that Ji Qingyun reluctantly agreed to marry Zhou Rui. (Due to space limitations, follow the WeChat public account [三匹文学] and reply with the number "31" to continue reading the exciting story!)

However, sympathy has its limits, and so does patience. Zhou Rui's behavior over the past few years has left Ji Qingyun completely hopeless, and she increasingly regrets her impulsive decision back then.

Seeing the determination in Ji Qingyun's eyes, Zhou Rui sighed, no longer explaining, and said, "I'm sorry..."

"I've heard enough of those three words!" Ji Qingyun turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

A few seconds later, the car door opened and then closed. When she turned back, she saw Zhou Rui carrying that worn-out handbag, slowly walking forward in the night.

His back view was so lonely, and so helpless.

For a moment, Ji Qingyun's heart softened, but seeing the passersby who had helped her spit at Zhou Rui and shout insults with disdain, her resolve hardened again.

This man wasn't what she wanted, and no one could pity him forever.

Since they had decided to separate, then so be it.

The car started and drove past Zhou Rui without stopping.

The acrid smell of exhaust fumes deepened Zhou Rui's bitter smile.

He didn't care if others didn't understand him, but Ji Qingyun caused him immense pain.

Although he knew it was his own fault, he couldn't help feeling sad and heartbroken.

Everything was about to get better, why now…

Thinking of Ji Qingyun's kindness, and how even if they separated, she would still care for him, Zhou Rui sighed deeply.

For years, he had almost never seen Ji Qingyun smile in front of him. If separation would make her happy, then so be it.

Meanwhile, in the ambulance, Brother Wang was nearly fainting from crying. He lay on his daughter's body, calling her name loudly.

The doctors and nurses were trying to comfort her, saying that the dead cannot be brought back to life and hoping she could grieve in peace.

"My daughter won't die! She can definitely be saved! Please, please save her! I beg you! I'll kowtow to you!" Brother Wang said, kowtowing repeatedly to the doctors and nurses right there in the car.

The doctors and nurses dared not accept such a heavy bow and quickly tried to help him up, but Brother Wang continued kowtowing.

Helpless, the doctor gave a signal to a nurse, who understood and helped Brother Wang up, saying, "Please stop kowtowing. Dr. Chen is trying to resuscitate her. If you keep doing this, you'll disturb him. Why don't you sit down and rest for a bit?"

Dr. Chen also cooperated by taking out a stethoscope and pretending to place it on the little girl's chest, trying to comfort Brother Wang and prevent him from crying too much and causing any harm.

However, when the stethoscope was placed on the little girl's chest, a series of thumping sounds startled Dr. Chen.

His face showed a look of disbelief, and he quickly removed the stethoscope; the thumping stopped abruptly.

The nurse had already helped the woman to her feet. Looking up at his expression, she was immediately filled with admiration. Dr. Chen's expression was truly convincing.

Then, she saw Dr. Chen reach out and press his hand against the little girl's neck, then check her pulse, and finally place the stethoscope against her chest.

A few seconds later, Dr. Chen, his face filled with disbelief, suddenly shouted to the nurse, "Quick! Quick! Adrenaline! She's still alive!"

The nurse was even more impressed. Although it was just a reassurance, his acting was incredibly realistic. It would be a waste of Dr. Chen's talent if he didn't pursue acting.

Seeing the nurse didn't move, Dr. Chen roared angrily, "What are you standing there for! Adrenaline! Don't you understand? She's still alive!!"

The nurse paused, suddenly realizing this wasn't a scene.

Not daring to think further, she quickly grabbed the needles and medicine. Watching the doctors and nurses scrambling around, Brother Wang froze for a few seconds, then suddenly knelt on the ambulance, clasped his hands together, and prayed sincerely, "Thank God! My daughter is really alive! Thank God for saving my daughter!"

The ambulance sped off, carrying the miracle of life towards the hospital.

A long time later, Zhou Rui returned home.

He first glanced at Ji Qingyun's car parked at the door, then at the dark bedroom, before knocking.

As a member of the family, Zhou Rui had never had a key to this house.

After knocking about seven or eight times, the door opened. His father-in-law, Ji Zemin, stood at the door, frowning as he asked, "Why are you so late?"

"Something came up, I was delayed," Zhou Rui explained.

"What could you possibly want?" Ji Zemin frowned, his tone full of doubt, but still made way for him, saying, "There are leftovers in the kitchen. Heat them up yourself if you haven't eaten."

"Old Ji, why all the nonsense when you're just opening the door? Come up and go to sleep!" His mother-in-law, Song Fengxue's voice came from the room.

Ji Zemin seemed used to this kind of talk, his expression unchanged. He responded and closed the door, heading towards the bedroom.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhou Rui wanted to give him the things in his bag, but Ji Zemin walked too fast, closing the door before he could even react.

Song Fengxue's voice could be faintly heard from the bedroom: "Why waste words with him? Eating him is just a waste of food."

"Sigh, no matter what, we've been together for so many years..."

"So what? He's been eating and drinking for free for so many years, it's good enough that he hasn't paid a cent, and our daughter has suffered for years because of him. Don't talk to me about this, it's annoying!" Song Fengxue said resentfully.

Soon, the voice faded away.

Standing in the living room, Zhou Rui didn't go to eat. He glanced at the closed bedroom door, but had no intention of going back to sleep.

He sat down on the sofa, and a white Pekingese dog came running over, jumping onto his lap and affectionately licking him twice.

Gently stroking the dog's soft fur, Zhou Rui smiled wryly. This Pekingese was probably the closest dog to him in the house. It didn't care if he was rich or poor.

A dog's affection for humans was that simple.

After putting the bag on the floor, Zhou Rui intended to take out the walnuts to check for any missing pieces. But when he saw the book of morality, he suddenly froze.

The golden light on the book, which had been used twice and had only four clusters left, had now increased to five.

Zhou Rui was overjoyed. Based on his previous experience, with the golden light, he could have his wishes fulfilled.

As for the limits of this fulfillment—whether it could make him the world's richest man or a superhero like in a comic book—Zhou Rui wasn't sure yet.

And he didn't want to try it immediately.

He pondered why this golden light had appeared. After much thought, he suddenly remembered stopping Xiao Ling and returning her to her body.

Could it be because of that?

Did he do a good deed, hence the golden light?

This was quite possible, and it also fit the meaning of the "Book of Morality" on the cover.

Of course, the specifics would only be confirmed after more experience.

Staring at the golden light in the book for a long time, Zhou Rui finally gritted his teeth and closed it.

He had already made up his mind. Since he was going to divorce Ji Qingyun and let her pursue her own happiness, he had to do something for her before leaving, as a way of repaying her kindness over the years.

Therefore, Zhou Rui wanted to save the golden light for when Ji Qingyun needed it.

But what did she want?

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Rui felt even more bitter. He suddenly realized that he didn't even know what Ji Qingyun needed, which was undoubtedly quite pathetic.

With a sigh, he leaned back on the sofa, holding the strange book in his arms, with his Pekingese dog lying on his lap, and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Rui got up early, made breakfast, and left before his parents-in-law woke up.

Because no one in the family liked to eat at the same table with him, Zhou Rui had been in a position similar to a servant for many years.

He had just opened the door to the bookstore when he heard the sound of an electric scooter falling over next door. Turning around, he saw Brother Wang frantically opening the shop door.

Zhou Rui quickly went over and asked, "Brother Wang, how is Xiaoling?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. As soon as he did, tears streamed down Wang's face. "The doctor just told me her condition is very dangerous. They've issued a critical condition notice and said she might need a second round of resuscitation at any time..."

He'd come back this time to take the little money left in the shop to the hospital for emergency use.

Watching Wang rush into the shop, then rush out again, grab his electric scooter, and leave without even closing the door, Zhou Rui frowned deeply.

It seemed that simply sending her soul back wouldn't do much to heal her physical injuries. In the long run, she would still die.

Looking down at the bag he was carrying, Zhou Rui's eyes lit up. That's right, the Book of Morality!

He quickly went inside to get the book, staring at the five golden lights on the cover, silently thinking the words "life-saving medicine."

Soon, the third page of the ancient book opened automatically. As the words "life-saving medicine" appeared on the page, a golden pill also appeared. Meanwhile, the two golden lights on the cover vanished simultaneously.

Zhou Rui was stunned. This life-saving medicine required two golden lights?

But he didn't have time to worry about that; saving a life was the priority.

Clutching the golden pill, Zhou Rui immediately closed both shops and hailed a taxi to the hospital.

When he arrived, it took him a while to find out which ward Xiao Ling was in.

Zhou Rui rushed there and saw Brother Wang kowtowing to the doctors at the ward door, begging them to save his daughter.

Two nurses were trying to reassure him that the doctors would do their best.

Zhou Rui hurried over and saw several doctors inside, sweating profusely. The heart rate monitor had become a flat line, and the piercing alarm made Zhou Rui's heart pound.

Moreover, he saw the blurry Xiao Ling rise from his body again. Without

thinking, he rushed into the ward and shouted at the blurry Xiao Ling, "Go back!"

"Who are you! We're trying to save her, what are you doing! Get out!" a doctor scolded, and a nurse came to pull him away.

Zhou Rui could see clearly with his left eye that Xiao Ling was about to die, and he didn't care what others said. He pushed past the nurses and doctors, rushed to Xiao Ling's bedside, pulled off her oxygen mask, and shoved the golden pill into her mouth.

Several doctors were furious, one of them grabbing Zhou Rui by the collar: "What the hell are you doing! What did you feed her?"

"I, I was trying to save her..."

"Bullshit! Her heart has stopped beating, we're doing our last-ditch efforts, and you pulled off the oxygen and fed her random things, are you trying to kill her! Call the police! Call the police! This is murder!" Two doctors stopped trying to save her and surrounded Zhou Rui to prevent him from escaping.

"I really was trying to save her... If she takes that pill, she'll live..." Zhou Rui didn't know how to explain, so he just kept repeating this.

But nobody believed him, including the patients and their families who were just watching the commotion, who also started shouting insults.

In this critical moment, the doctors were already busy enough, and now a lunatic was causing trouble. His heart had stopped beating, and with such severe injuries, there was practically no chance of survival. What good could a tiny pill possibly do?

No one believed Zhou Rui; they all shouted for the police to arrest him, or better yet, execute him.

Zhou Rui lowered his head, being pushed and rubbed, but dared not resist. Because even he himself didn't know if this golden pill would actually work.

Bringing someone back to life—that was something only in legends.

"What's all the noise about? If something happens to my dad, can you take responsibility?!" A middle-aged man came out from the next ward and shouted angrily.

This was the intensive care unit; the situation next door was also very bad, with patients undergoing resuscitation. The man was already anxious, and hearing the commotion here, he couldn't help but come out to reprimand them.

He was a well-known wealthy man in Qingzhou, with a distinguished status. A nurse rushed over to explain, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhang, there's a lunatic who insists his pills can save lives. The little girl's heartbeat and pulse had disappeared, he..."

Before she could finish, a doctor's exclamation came from the ward: "The heartbeat has returned! Quick! Continue the resuscitation!"

Even the nurse was called back, and the ward was in complete chaos. Everyone was flustered by the sudden return of the heartbeat.

The onlookers were stunned. Alive?

Previously, everyone thought Zhou Rui was a fool. He didn't know where he got a stupid pill and thought it could save lives.

Qingzhou People's Hospital was a nationally renowned hospital, and the doctors there were the best. If they said it couldn't save her, then it definitely couldn't.

But now, Xiao Ling's heartbeat had returned, causing an uproar among the people surrounding the ward.

What kind of medicine was that? Due to space limitations, follow the WeChat public account [Sanpi Literature] and reply with the number "31" to continue reading the exciting story! One pill brought the little girl, who had been sentenced to death, back to life!

They stared at Zhou Rui in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief and a hint of shame.

They were just about to call the police, what were they going to say now?

Zhou Rui looked at the constantly fluctuating lines on the monitoring instrument, a smile gradually spreading across his face. It really worked! That's great!

The middle-aged man outside also heard the doctor's words. He instinctively went to check, but then heard the doctor's voice from his own ward: "It's terrible! The patient has stopped breathing, quick..." The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed back to the ward, only to find his father had stopped breathing. The doctor was administering adrenaline and preparing a defibrillator to try and resuscitate him.

However, his father's condition was extremely poor, and there was almost no chance of saving him. Several relatives were already crying.

The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched. Without a word, he turned and went straight to Xiao Ling's ward.

"Who took the pills to save people just now?" the middle-aged man asked urgently.
