CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: DAI ZIHAN’S EMOTIONAL KNOT

On the first night of being isolated, Feng Qing joked about Dai Zihan acting cute to Wen Zeyu. That night, Dai Zihan was overly anxious, so she actually called Wen Zeyu.

But the call didn’t go through...

When the first call didn’t connect, Dai Zihan thought he might be at the tomb, busy, not thinking too much into it.

But with the second, third, and subsequent calls, until the night before her isolation period ended, she kept trying to reach Wen Zeyu. Yet, he still didn’t answer.

Missing one call could be because he was busy, but with so many calls unanswered, how could Dai Zihan deceive herself?

Even if Wen Zeyu was in a remote area, he should’ve heard the news. Moreover, Yu Zhou City isn’t isolated from the world. Yet he didn’t even call to show concern, and he didn’t pick up when she called...

To be able to ignore her to this extent shows his lack of care...

After all, the incident that happened between them was an accident, and she told him he didn’t need to take responsibility; why should he still care?

In Yu Zhou City, in front of the newly discovered ancient tomb, many people were gathered. Wen Zeyu and his teacher were in poor condition when they were pulled out of the tomb, but when they were successfully rescued, the applause of those around them erupted...

Half a month ago, just after a passageway opened, Wen Zeyu’s teacher took him into the tomb for investigation, and they ended up staying there for half a month.

If they hadn’t carried food and water when they entered, who knows if they could have emerged safely this time?

Originally, Wen Zeyu’s archaeological work wasn’t so risky; they usually waited until all safety measures were in place before going down.

However, this newly discovered tomb had not yet been found by grave robbers, and according to Wen Zeyu’s teacher’s judgment, it was likely the tomb of the ruling class from over two thousand years ago.

This discovery made Wen Zeyu’s teacher extremely excited, so he immediately took Wen Zeyu down as soon as a passage opened.

Mainly because Wen Zeyu’s teacher had an archaeological experience where they raced against grave robbers.

The archaeologists cautiously opened the passage on one side, while the grave robbers made a quick hole on the other side and went inside.

By the time the archaeologists carefully entered, there was little of archaeological value left.

Therefore, this time Wen Zeyu’s teacher was afraid of a repeat of that situation, which is why he rushed and took the risk, leading to this accident.

Once Wen Zeyu and his teacher were rescued, they were immediately sent to the hospital, and after some examinations, they had only minor scratches, slight dehydration, but nothing serious.

In the hospital room, Wen Zeyu slowly woke up. Seeing him awake, the nurse smiled and said, "You’re awake, I’ll call the doctor."

Wen Zeyu moved his head, realizing he was in the hospital, and breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he saw his teacher lying on the bed beside him, and felt even more at ease.

The doctor soon came, examined Wen Zeyu, and also looked at Professor Peng, Wen Zeyu’s teacher.

During the doctor’s examination, Professor Peng awoke as well. After the examination, when the doctor had left, Professor Peng told Wen Zeyu, "Xiao Yu, this was really dangerous! I almost dragged you down with me, teacher!"

Wen Zeyu shook his head, still a bit dizzy, "Teacher, don’t say that; it’s enough that we are both alive."

Professor Peng nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the door to the hospital room opened, and people in protective suits entered to collect throat swabs from them.

Professor Peng and Wen Zeyu were confused, "What’s going on?" Professor Peng asked.

The person in the protective suit explained, "You two were trapped underground for half a month and might be unaware of what’s happened during that period.

You two have just been admitted and haven’t been swabbed yet, so I’m here to collect samples."

As the doctor said this, they began collecting, asking Wen Zeyu to open his mouth. After collecting from him, they gave him a mask to wear and then went to collect from Professor Peng.

Wearing the mask, Wen Zeyu quickly asked, "Doctor... did you just mention B City?

What’s the situation now?"

That doctor collected the sample from Professor Peng and then said, "It’s slowly coming under control. If you want to know more, you can watch the news."

With that, the doctor took the samples and left.

Wen Zeyu hurriedly tried to find his phone but then remembered they didn’t take their phones when they went into the tomb...

Professor Peng saw him searching for a phone and reminded him, "Turn on the TV, watch the TV..."

Both Professor Peng and Wen Zeyu were from B City, and hearing that something was happening there made them anxious.

Upon hearing Professor Peng’s words, Wen Zeyu hurriedly searched for the TV remote. In his rush, he accidentally pulled out the IV needle from his hand.

Quickly turning on the TV, they focused intently on watching it. When they saw that it was the B City First Hospital in the news, Wen Zeyu’s expression changed.

In B City, Xiao Li listened silently as Dai Zihan poured out her heart...

"Xiao Lili, I always said Wen Zeyu was slow, but now I think I’m even dumber and slower than he is.

How else could I be so upset over such a slowpoke?"

To see Dai Zihan’s expression clearly, Xiao Li crouched down in front of her, struggling a bit in her protective suit, "Zhihan, listen to me, this way of thinking is not right.

I know, you’re just newly pregnant, and you didn’t clarify things with Wen Zeyu before, and suddenly encountering this, your emotions just collapsed, which is normal.

When I was pregnant with Mianmian, even with my husband being so considerate, I still had times when I felt wronged and threw tantrums.

It’s a natural reaction from our bodies; pregnancy makes our emotions uncontrollable...

But we need to learn how to adjust our mindset; just because Wen Zeyu didn’t answer the phone doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t care about you!

Think about it, even as ordinary friends, knowing something happened at our hospital, he would be concerned, let alone you, right?

No matter how he feels, he wouldn’t just ignore your calls!

Also, you just mentioned he didn’t call you, and that reminded me that he didn’t call me either.

You know he pays great attention to my matters, yet he didn’t call me too!

This suggests he probably doesn’t even know about the epidemic here; there’s a possibility he didn’t answer because he couldn’t get the call?

You said he went on an archaeological dig with his teacher; you watch those shows and dramas regularly, so you should know that in archaeology, he might have gone down into a tomb and therefore doesn’t know what’s happening outside, missing the calls..."
