Ch221: Investigating Who?
Xiang Huai blinked.
Xue Xi ignored his flirtatious eyes and continued reading. She’d memorized English vocabulary in the morning and was currently doing Mathematical Olympiad questions.
Since the first day of the camp, everyone in the Golden Autumn Camp had been given a bunch of papers, so they definitely never had to worry about not having any exercise questions to answer.
Xue Xi was doing her questions seriously when a commotion finally came from outside the classroom.
Li Xi was in the midst of a heated discussion. When she heard the commotion, she sat up straight and straightened her back. She looked at the door in high spirits.
After a while, Mr Wei walked in with a few people.
They were all dressed in working attire and were very united. They were holding recording pens and other materials, as though they were going to record something.
When they entered, the entire room fell silent.
Li Xi gulped and exclaimed, “Fuck, isn’t this commotion too big?”
Why is it like that...?
Does a mere student need such a huge line-up?
When Li Xi exclaimed, the rest of the students also panicked.
Although everyone became afraid after what Li Xi had told them yesterday, some of them did not take it to heart. Was their offense so bad as hitting the teacher? How could the punishment be so serious?
However, seeing this today... Everyone gulped. The student beside Li Xi said, “This... Isn’t this too serious?”
Li Xi became even more elated. She raised her chin very high and was very arrogant. Smiling, she said, “See, I’ve already told you that the Mathematical Olympiad will never allow someone like Xue Xi to exist!”
Everyone nodded.
Li Xuekai frowned too. He could not help but say, “We simply butted heads with the teacher. It’s not that serious, right?”
Seeing that he was speaking up for Xue Xi time and time again, Li Xi immediately said, “Brainiac, stop talking. Isn’t it a big deal to talk back to the teacher?! If you’re let off for talking back to the teacher now, in the future, you might become disobedient and do things that will hurt society even more!”
Li Xuekai: “... Li Xi, you can’t be so rigid. Moreover, Xue Xi rebutted the teacher because the teacher insulted a student first. Plus, Xue Xi did not say anything nasty.”
Li Xi said angrily, “You’re already going so far as to criticize the teacher for being inhuman. Isn’t that too much? Brainiac, aren’t you being too biased?”
She continued discontentedly, “Look at her. She’s flirting with that male student beside her. It’s obvious that she’s abnormal, but you’re actually biased toward her?”
Li Xuekai frowned. “Li Xi, everyone is free to speak up, but I hope you won’t rise to making personal attacks. We are all classmates!”
Li Xi was so angry that she wanted to say something when Mr Wei said, “Cough, alright. Everyone, quiet down. The organizers of the Math Olympiad group came to the school today to inspect matters and ask everyone a few questions. Don’t be nervous and answer them as you please.”
After saying that, Mr Wei looked at the Math Olympiad organizers and said, “Go ahead.”
The small group sat on the stage. Someone lifted his head, looking very friendly. It did not seem like they were quarrelsome. He said, “I want to ask some questions about Mr Li.”
The moment he said this, Li Xi stood up. “Teachers, I think I’m very qualified to speak. Since the day Xue Xi joined the camp, she has been playing some superstitious games. She has proclaimed herself to be a goddess of studies. She wants everyone to touch her and take advantage of her luck. Her attitude is not good!”
Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up. “That’s not what Xue Xi said. I was the one who shouted it. Everyone was just joking, so why did you take it for real? If I said that you’re a good luck charm and I touched you, does that mean you are also playing with superstitions?”
Li Xi sneered. “I’m telling the truth. Aren’t you going to let others say it? Moreover, it’s not good to create a bad atmosphere because it will affect my studies!”
After saying that, she continued, “And the next day, Xue Xi started to talk back to the teacher openly!”
At this point, the organizing staff immediately asked, “Is Mr Li that teacher?”
Li Xi nodded. “Yes! It’s Mr Li! Mr Li gave an unsolvable question for everyone to answer. Xue Xi got angry when she could not solve it. She told off Mr Li for being inhuman! This is what all the students present heard!”
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately said, “It’s not like that. It’s...”
“No? What does that look like, then? She didn’t tell off anyone?”
Zhang Xiaoxiao choked. “Telling off is one thing, but because...”
“No matter what the reason, it’s not right to openly talk back to the teacher in class!” Li Xi’s words suppressed Zhang Xiaoxiao’s words and made her speechless.
The staff asked, “Why did she tell off Mr Li?”
Before Li Xi could speak, Li Xuekai said, “Because Mr Li is undeserving of respect when he scolds students.”
Li Xuekai stood up. “Mr Li has targeted Xue Xi many times in class. There was a classmate who asked to borrow a pen from her, but he did not ask any clarifying questions and instead made Xue Xi stand for the exam for three hours! After that, he insulted Xue Xi many times! It was indeed wrong for Xue Xi to tell off the teacher in the class, but I feel that the situation was special. I think Xue Xi’s circumstances were understandable! If you want to kick out Xue Xi, then you’ll have to kick me out too!”
Li Xi panicked. “Li Xuekai, how can you threaten the teachers?”
Li Xuekai calmly said, “This is not a threat. As a student, she is powerless to resist, and we can only use such extreme actions to maintain justice.”
Li Xi mocked, “Are you crazy?! For Xue Xi’s sake, you’re actually disregarding your future? You’re simply too stubborn!”
The staff interrupted, “Which classmate did he scold?”
Everyone turned to look at Xiang Huai.
Xiang Huai slowly raised his hand and lazily said, “Oh, me.”
The staff saw him and was stunned. He took out a pen and paper to record. “What’s your name? Why did Mr Li scold you?”
Xiang Huai shot a glance at Li Zixuan and said, “Li Zixuan.”
The staff nodded after writing down his name. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Li Xi could not help but say, “Aren’t you here to investigate Xue Xi’s matter? Why do you keep asking about Mr Li? Xue Xi is being a prideful person in this camp. This kind of person is indeed unsuitable for the Mathematical Olympiad!”
Before she could finish speaking, the staff interrupted her in surprise. “Who said that we’re here to investigate Xue Xi? We’re actually investigating Mr Li!”
Li Xi was stunned. Her head was filled with question marks: “?”
She asked in disbelief, “What did you say?!”
Investigating Mr Li? Did they misspeak?
Ch222: A Slap in the Face!
The entire classroom was stunned.
Li Xuekai was stunned. “Investigating Mr Li? Isn’t Huaxia University investigating Xue Xi?”
The few organizing staff were even more stunned. “The task we were asked to investigate was the complaint about Mr Li’s style of teaching, so we came here. We have already obtained some evidence of Mr Li accepting bribes from students and selling answers to test questions at the Golden Autumn Camp. Now, we are only here to see how he is doing in school.”
The moment he said this, Li Xi’s legs turned weak and she sat on the chair with a loud thud.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were red from anxiety, looked at Xue Xi in disbelief and then at the staff...
Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled the calm expression on the Master’s face yesterday. Thinking about how she was still playing games last night, she felt that the reason why the Master was so calm was that she knew that this matter had been settled!
She could not help but gulp. So this matter had something to do with the Master?
After the classroom quietened down, the staff turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Mhm, can you explain in detail how Mr Li scolded you? And what did he do to you?”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and smiled. “Oh, I forgot.”
The staff: “…”
They had already gathered all the evidence against Mr Li. There was nothing else that needed to be said. The staff had come here only to make an appearance.
Seeing that Xiang Huai did not say anything, they simply asked for more details and questions before leaving.
After they left, everyone in the class turned to look at Li Xi.
Her face was pale. After the staff had left, she rushed to the door and stopped Mr Wei. “Mr Wei, where is my uncle?”
Mr Wei sighed. “He has been arrested today and can’t come to work for the time being.”
Li Xi gulped. “When can he come back to work, then?”
Mr Wei said, “That will depend on the higher-ups. Moreover, if we can confirm his crimes, he might not return to work again.”
Li Xi was about to cry. She took out her phone and walked out. “I’m going to contact my father!”
The situation had been reversed and the class was in an uproar again.
Everyone who’d thought that Xue Xi would be unlucky could not help but look at her. Even the other two people in the same dormitory felt extremely guilty. They approached Xue Xi and said, “Goddess, we... we’re sorry. Can you forgive us?”
Xue Xi looked at them and replied slowly, “There is nothing to forgive because I have never blamed you guys.”
She was not a saint.
Instead, she had never considered the two of them as friends.
What was a stranger’s love or disgust to her?
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard her words. However, they had no idea how hard it was to become Xue Xi’s friend and what they had missed.
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted indignantly. “They were the ones who were afraid of being implicated yesterday, yet they still have the cheek to ask you to forgive them today. I’m really speechless.”
Xue Xi smiled at her. “Have you finished your paper?”
Zhang Xiaoxiao instantly became anxious. “No. Eh, I don’t know how to answer this question. Studying Goddess, lend me your paper~”
Xue Xi passed her the papers that she had already answered and Zhang Xiaoxiao started to do the questions seriously.
The classroom finally quietened down. Everyone was engrossed in their studies. After all, the first day of Mr Li’s incident did not cause any impact on everyone.
Mr Wei quickly took over Mr Li’s position. The Math Olympiad team sent a few teachers to the class together. During the self-study class, the teachers were all in the classroom, making it easier for the students to ask questions at any time.
On this day, Li Xi was not in a good mood. She sat in her seat and stared hatefully at Xue Xi.
During lunch, Xue Xi brought Xiang Huai to the canteen.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoxiao walked over. “Goddess, come here.”
She glanced at Xiang Huai.
Xue Xi did not know what was going on and followed Zhang Xiaoxiao to the side. She saw Zhang Xiaoxiao showing her an online thread. “Goddess of Studying, this must have been posted by Li Xi. Do you want to explain to your boyfriend?”
Xue Xi: “?”
She lowered her head to take a look and realized that in the Math Olympiad thread, there was a post saying that she was a promiscuous woman and that she was two-timing.
Zhang Xiaoxiao coughed. “Goddess, well, you and Li Zixuan are indeed too close. Your boyfriend will be jealous, right?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She silently looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao and then at Xiang Huai. She did not know how to explain this matter.
She returned the phone to Zhang Xiaoxiao and said, “It’s fine.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao: “No, you’ve already made him a cuckold and you’re still fine?”
“... Yes.”
When they returned to the dining table, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Xiang Huai, then at Xue Xi. All of a sudden, she said, “Goddess, I suddenly feel that you and Li Zixuan are quite compatible. Why don’t you break up with your boyfriend? Anyway, I saw the thread that said your current boyfriend is too worldly for you. That kind of person will definitely just covet your money!”
Xiang Huai: “??”
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. “Goddess, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone!”
Xue Xi: “…”
After the three of them had lunch, Li Xuekai followed them back. Walking beside Xue Xi, he asked, “Have you finished the third set of papers?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes.”
“What’s the answer for the last question?”
Unknowingly, Xue Xi slowed down and walked with Li Xuekai.
Zhang Xiaoxiao silently looked at Xiang Huai. She felt that he had just grifted someone else, but now he was the one who’s being cheated on.
The group returned to the classroom.
In the afternoon, Mr Wei entered the classroom with the exam papers from yesterday. “Alright, the teachers have graded the papers overnight. We’ve already finished checking all of them today and have already sorted them out. The grades will be distributed to everyone tomorrow. For now, I’ll distribute the papers first! Li Zixuan, 160 marks.”
A score of 160 out of 300 sounded very low, but yesterday’s pre-test was already very difficult. It was already not bad that he could get this score!
Seeing that the papers were being distributed, Li Xi finally regained her senses. She stared at Xue Xi and mocked, “I wonder how many marks the Goddess of Studying will get this time?”
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately retorted, “It was all Mr Li’s fault, what happened during the examination. The Master standing for the entire examination will definitely affect her performance!”
Li Xi sneered. “Don’t talk about useless things. If she didn’t score well, she didn’t score well. What excuse are you looking for?”
After she said this, the teacher read Xue Xi’s name.
Li Xi and everyone in the room turned to look at the podium.
Ch223: Love Poem
“Xue Xi.”
Mr Wei called her name and the entire class quietened down. They waited quietly for her results. Just as Li Xi was waiting for her to fail, she heard Mr Wei say, “300 marks.”
Boom!
The entire classroom instantly exploded.
“How many?”
“Did I hear wrongly?”
“The questions this time were very difficult. There aren’t many in the whole class who scored 200 marks. She actually scored full marks in the test?”
Li Xi was also stunned. “Did you get it wrong?”
As soon as Xue Xi heard Mr Wei’s call, she had already stood up and walked toward the stage. When she received the paper, the person beside her had already craned her neck to look. When they saw the 300 on the paper, their faces became filled with admiration.
“It’s really 300 marks!”
“Oh my God, the Goddess of Studying is really legit! She never disappoints!”
“Ah, I’ll be satisfied if I can score half of the Academic Credits!”
“…”
Li Xi’s face turned red when she heard this, and even more when Mr Wei had given Xue Xi’s paper and shouted her name next. “Li Xi.”
Li Xi stood up instantly.
She was actually very confident in her results, but after standing for an hour before she could sit down, she still felt very tired. Her legs were so tired that it must have affected her performance... As she thought this, she heard Mr Wei say, “129 marks.”
Li Xi stood rooted to the ground in shock. “What?”
Feeling wronged, she shouted, “That’s impossible!”
She was clearly so good at mathematics. Although she was affected during the exam that day, she felt that there was no problem with herself. Why did she only score this low?
Although the questions were difficult, everyone could get 150 marks. 129 was the lowest score so far!
Zhang Xiaoxiao had already started mocking her. “A genius can get full marks even when she’s being made to stand. Li Xi, what about you? You can’t even get half of her marks!”
Li Xi was a little angry. “That’s because she scored 300 marks. What has it got to do with you? What are you being smug about? You might not even get 129 marks!”
Coincidentally, the moment she said this, Mr Wei shouted again, “Zhang Xiaoxiao.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao pricked up her ears.
She then heard Mr Wei say, “180 marks.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in disbelief.
There were only a few who’d scored 200 marks in this examination. So far, a score of 180 was the highest among the 100s!
She stood up in shock. “My god, Studying Goddess, I really got lucky with you! I thought my score was only 160 marks before. It seems like I got a few more correctly!”
As she said this, she happily took the papers. When she returned, she purposely walked past Li Xi. “Oh, sorry. I accidentally scored 180 marks!”
Li Xi: “…”
Li Xi felt utterly embarrassed. She clenched her fists tightly and heard the person in the podium shouting, “Li Xuekai.”
After Xue Xi had obtained the full marks, she had been wanting to wait and see Li Xuekai’s paper. After all, both of them were standing at the back for the exam.
Upon hearing this name, she lifted her head and looked at Mr Wei in concern. Then, she heard him say, “300!”
“Sss!”
The class gasped again.
With these difficult questions, for one to get 300 marks was impressive. There were actually two!
Everyone turned to look at Li Xuekai and saw him standing up and walking back with the papers.
Everyone silently looked at Li Xuekai and then at Xue Xi. All of a sudden, they felt that this pair of top students was really too good!
Full marks. He could easily write a small thesis!
Li Xi stared at them with hatred. In the end, she turned to look at Li Zixuan, who was sitting beside Xue Xi. She did not know how many marks he had scored.
Xiang Huai looked at Xue Xi. Seeing that she had scored full marks, he was a little proud. When she sat down, he said, “Congratulations.”
Xue Xi shot him a glance. When she got full marks, she did not feel anything. Faced with everyone’s admiring gazes, she did not feel anything either. Wasn’t this normal?
However, when she heard Xiang Huai’s congratulations, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. The mist in her eyes seemed to have dispersed a little. She smiled. “Aren’t I formidable?”
She seemed smug.
Seeing her rare playful expression, Xiang Huai also smiled. It reached to his usually sharp eyebrows, and it was as though a glacier had melted instantly. He said in a low voice, “Isn’t this the usual for you? Admiration, admiration!”
Xue Xi nodded. “Your mathematics is also not bad. You don’t have to be envious.”
When Mr Li made things difficult for them that day, she wasn’t the only one in the class who had noticed the unsolvable question. Li Xuekai and Xiang Huai, who was on the podium, had also pointed it out.
This meant that this person’s studies were not bad during school, right?
The papers were quickly distributed and Mr Wei started explaining the papers. It was unreasonable for Xiang Huai to have nothing in front of him. Hence, Xue Xi quietly passed him a blank book and a piece of paper.
There were more than 200 people in the classroom. Xiang Huai was hiding in the crowd with his head lowered. He was holding a piece of paper and pen as he drew, but Mr Wei did not notice.
However, Li Xi, who had been staring at him, frowned.
Something is wrong...
Why does Li Zixuan not have any papers?!
She frowned.
While Mr Wei was explaining the papers, Xue Xi was also looking at Xiang Huai. At first, he was bored, so he took out a pen and paper to write and draw in his book.
Soon, the two periods were over.
A few of them went to the canteen for dinner. When they returned, they went to the evening self-study class. When it was 9 PM, everyone went back to the dormitory.
Xiang Huai also stood up and slowly tore off a piece of paper from Xue Xi’s book before stuffing it into his pocket.
Xue Xi asked in confusion, “What did you write?”
Xiang Huai shot her a glance. “Nothing.”
When the two of them reached the wall, Xiang Huai dashed up and landed on the ground outside. He then stood up and took out the paper from his pocket.
However, he saw a love poem written on it:
“I saw the wind sending the moon and the water sending the flowers.
She continued to look at the past and saw Yi Renyan.
She missed the night and the new year. She was also willing to forget old things.
Nian Lian’s heart was filled with hatred.
On the surface, one’s clothes were wide and one could not eat or sleep well.
If you are well, everyone will be at ease.”
Xiang Huai took a look and placed the poem in his pocket. He silently added in his heart, This poem will definitely not be spoken to you.
That was because the little kid was still young. He would give it back to her after she went to university.
After Xiang Huai left, Xue Xi turned around and returned to her dormitory. When both of them had left, Li Xi, who had been following them, walked out from the shadows.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Xiang Huai in disbelief... So he’s not a student of the school at all! Great, Xue Xi is in trouble!
Tomorrow, she would report this matter!
…
At the same time, Xue Xi, who had returned to her dormitory, suddenly received a call. Just as the call connected, Qin Shuang’s anxious voice rang. “Sister Xi, hurry up and come over. Something happened!”
Ch224: Why Did He Choose Such an Intense Method?
If Xue Xi wanted to leave, she needed to file a leave request.
However, it was too late to contact Mr Wei at this time. Thinking of the spot Xiang Huai had just jumped out of, she hurriedly got off the bed and walked out. She then instructed Zhang Xiaoxiao and the rest, “I might not be coming back tonight. You guys don’t have to wait for me.”
She ran to the school wall and took two steps back.
A two-meter-tall wall was a little difficult for her.
She built momentum and jumped onto the high wall. She then nimbly turned around and jumped down.
In the end, she fell into a familiar embrace.
Stunned, she saw Xiang Huai hugging her and smiling. “Why? Is it too unbearable for you to leave me that you even threw yourself at me?”
Xue Xi pushed him and jumped down. “No, something happened to Little Flame. I’ll go take a look.”
Little Flame should be Gao Yanchen.
Hearing that something had happened to him, Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened. Thinking of the Gao family’s situation, he followed behind Xue Xi. “I’ll accompany you.”
After the two of them had walked a little further, Xue Xi realized that the school’s location was relatively remote, so it was a little hard to get a cab. Just as she was thinking of getting a cab from her phone app, Xiang Huai ran toward a Land Rover that was parked by the roadside.
The car was black in color. It looked huge and had a strong aura.
Xue Xi did not know how to drive, so she followed him to the car. After telling him the address of the hospital, he drove out.
Xiang Huai drove very quickly, and the two soon arrived at the capital’s hospital.
After getting out of the car, Xue Xi rushed in. When she reached the operating theater, she saw Qin Shuang pacing back and forth anxiously.
It was rare for Xue Xi to be in a hurry. She walked over and asked, “What happened?”
Qin Shuang almost cried. “Wuwuwu, Sister Xi, Brother Chen, Brother Chen committed suicide!”
Xue Xi: “?”
She was stunned. “What?”
Qin Shuang sobbed again. “He vomited a lot of blood. Sob, he even took a lot of medicine. What a strange medicine. Sob...”
She was crying so hard that Xue Xi could not understand her.
Xiang Huai made a call first before the hospital’s higher-ups rushed over and entered the operating theater.
After the group of people went in to save him, Xiang Huai turned to look at Qin Shuang, who was crying so hard that she could not stop herself. “Tell me everything slowly.”
Qin Shuang choked and nodded. “I went to class today. When I returned home after class and was preparing to eat, I received Brother Chen’s WeChat message asking if I was free. He asked me to go to his hotel.”
Xue Xi: “... He didn’t leave?”
Qin Shuang nodded. “I followed the address he gave me and went to the hotel. However, I was pressing the doorbell for half a day and he was ignoring me, so I gave him a call. In the end, his phone rang inside the room, and I hurriedly called the hotel service staff to open the door. I realized that there were a few bottles of medicine on Brother Chen’s table, as well as some alcohol. I heard that using alcohol to drink sleeping pills will make the medicine more effective... At that time, Brother Chen was already unconscious. He lay on the bed and even vomited blood... Sob, I quickly called 120 and sent him to the hospital.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She was stunned. “Why did Little Flame commit suicide? Who bullied him?”
When she said this, she did not realize that she was already exuding a fierce aura. It was as though she would fight to the death after knowing the truth!
Qin Shuang shook her head. “I don’t know. Anyway, when I heard the doctors talking as they pushed Brother Chen in, the situation sounded very bad. I’m so worried.”
Xue Xi frowned and suddenly picked up her phone. “I know. It must be Gamer.”
Xue Xi called Feng Yan directly.
The phone rang very quickly and Feng Yan smiled. “Sister Xi, are you calling me to play games?”
Xue Xi: “... Little Flame committed suicide and is in the hospital.”
The other party paused and said, “Are you kidding? Why would he commit suicide?”
Xue Xi remained silent.
Feng Yan realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly asked, “Which hospital?”
After announcing the hospital’s name, Xue Xi hung up.
Twenty minutes later, Feng Yan’s hurried footsteps rushed over.
Xue Xi was furious the moment she saw him.
Little Flame was fine back in Bin City. How could he commit suicide now? It must have been Feng Yan who had agitated him. Xue Xi grabbed his collar and pushed him to the wall behind him. She then said fiercely, “What did you do to Little Flame?”
Little Flame was so good to her. Although he was a little prideful, he had always been loyal. Why would such a good person be so reckless?
Feng Yan frowned. “It’s impossible for him to commit suicide...”
Qin Shuang shouted, “What else is impossible? What did you do to Brother Chen that made him think this way? Brother Chen would not have come to the capital originally, but he came for you. Brother Chen clearly gave you a way out that day. As long as you opened your mouth and invited him to your team to play marksman, he would have gone! But why didn’t you speak?”
Feng Yan clenched his jaw and sighed. “I can’t let him come.”
He lowered his eyes but did not say why.
Xiang Huai watched from the side and gently patted Xue Xi’s back before saying, “He went to look for you today?”
Feng Yan nodded.
He closed his eyes in pain.
Today, Xiao Chen went to the club. He contacted the person in charge of the club and told them that he could play marksman.
The in-charge was having a headache over the marksman issue. When he heard this, he directly invited him to the base and even prepared a contract to sign with him.
At that time, Feng Yan saw the red-hair and rushed into the signing room to stop the signing.
He was not an investor in XH, but he had spent all his money in the recent operation. At that time, Xiao Chen even said, “I have money. If you sign me, I’ll invest 100 million for you!”
The in-charge was a little tempted.
Feng Yan panicked and said fiercely, “Sign him and I’ll leave immediately. Do as you please!”
At that time, he’d wanted to use his chips to make the person-in-charge reject the contract.
However, after Feng Yan said this, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned red as though he was extremely angry. He did not dare to look at his eyes...
After that, without waiting for the in-charge to hesitate, Gao Yanchen turned around and left.
At that time, Feng Yan knew that he would never be able to get Xiao Chen’s forgiveness in this lifetime.
However, he did not expect Xiao Chen to choose such an intense method...
At this moment, the door to the operating theater opened and a doctor walked out with a serious expression. He frowned. “Who is the patient’s family?”
The small group hurriedly rushed over.
“I’m his brother!” Feng Yan’s voice was trembling. “How is he?”
The doctor sighed. “I’m sorry...”
Ch225: You Don’t Want Me
“No! Brother Chen, you can’t leave!”
Qin Shuang suddenly started crying. This crying made Xue Xi a little stunned. She felt that things had happened too quickly and she could not accept it.
Feng Yan’s legs went soft and he almost fell to the ground!
He stared blankly at the doctor and at the emergency room door in disbelief. There was only one thought in his mind. How... How could this be?!
Xiao Chen was not such a person. Five years ago, when he pushed Xiao Chen away, he was not someone who would do such an extreme thing.
If he had known that Xiao Chen would end up like this, he would not have pushed him away.
Feng Yan clenched his fists.
If something really happened to Xiao Chen, he would never forgive himself... No, he had to pay for Xiao Chen’s death...
After these thoughts flashed across his mind, he heard the doctor’s words. “... I’m sorry that I didn’t inform you, nor did I ask you to sign the agreement. We did a small surgery on him. The situation was too urgent to wait, so we had to start the surgery first.”
Feng Yan: “?”
Feng Yan turned to look at the doctor. “What did you say? H-he’s still alive?”
The doctor also looked at them in confusion. “This... Although this illness looks scary, it was discovered in time and won’t endanger his life.”
Everyone: “?”
Everyone stiffly turned to look at the doctor.
Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes and asked, “Illness?”
Qin Shuang was also stunned. “Isn’t it suicide?”
The doctor almost choked on her words. “What suicide? It’s just gastrointestinal bleeding. Are you the patient’s elder brother? He has gastric problems, so why did you still let him drink? Why don’t you know how to control yourself?”
Qin Shuang was stunned. “Oh, right. Brother Chen’s bedside table has a wine glass, but I saw a bottle of medicine!”
The doctor: “Yes, he knows that he needs to take the stomach medicine when he doesn’t feel well, but if he takes the medicine after drinking, won’t he be asking for trouble?”
Qin Shuang: “?”
Everyone: “?”
The few of them silently looked at Qin Shuang and saw her lowering her head, wanting to bury her head in the ground.
Feng Yan also felt his legs slowly gain strength. He did not know what to say, but Xue Xi slowly asked, “How is he now?”
The doctor said, “Our director is here personally, so there definitely won’t be any problem. There’s a stomach bleed and he performed a minor surgery. He should be able to be discharged after staying in the hospital for three days.”
“... Okay.”
The doctor took out another list. “Erm, do you guys want to sign it?”
Xue Xi looked at Feng Yan. “You can sign it.”
Feng Yan, who was still in a daze, replied, “Oh.”
Five minutes later, Gao Yanchen was pushed out of the operating theater by the doctor. His stomach bleeding looked scary, but because he was brought to the hospital in time and he had taken the medicine beforehand, he was quickly treated.
However, he had to rest after all.
Gao Yanchen was sent to an ordinary ward. Two hours later, his anesthesia wore off and he woke up.
His stomach was bleeding very badly. His face was a little pale, but he opened his eyes. When he saw the four people standing in the room, he was slightly taken aback. There was a hint of arrogance on the young man’s face, but he appeared a little weak. “Why are you guys here?”
Qin Shuang lowered her head guiltily. “Just... everyone came to visit you because they saw that you had surgery.”
Gao Yanchen silently looked at the time. It was already one in the morning.
Who visits a patient at this time?
He swept his gaze over Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, why are you here too? Go back to class!”
After saying that, he looked at Feng Yan and lowered his eyes as though he did not see him. His tone was cold. “Why are you here?”
Just as he said this, a nurse making her rounds walked in. When she saw Gao Yanchen, she instantly smiled. “You’re finally awake? You scared your friends to death. They thought you wanted to commit suicide!”
Gao Yanchen: “?”
He looked at Qin Shuang. Although his voice was weak, he asked coldly, “Do I look like I’d commit suicide?”
Qin Shuang lowered her head again and suddenly said, “Eh, I have class tomorrow. The dance task tomorrow is especially heavy. Sister Xi, I’ll leave Brother Chen to you. I’ll go back first!”
With that, she dashed out of the ward.
Gao Yanchen wanted to chase after her and beat her up, but just as he moved his body, he felt a pain in his stomach. Feng Yan quickly took a step forward and pressed his shoulders. “You just finished the surgery. Don’t move.”
Gao Yanchen: “…”
He glared at Feng Yan, then turned his head away from him.
The ward suddenly quietened down.
After some time, Feng Yan said, “Xiao Chen, you...”
“Don’t think too much. I will never commit suicide in my life, let alone because of you. I only drank two bottles of wine! Who knew that the alcohol would be so strong? I even took medicine when I was feeling unwell. Why is my stomach bleeding?”
“…”
The room fell silent for a long time.
Xue Xi looked at Feng Yan and then at Gao Yanchen. Finally, she coughed. “You guys want to chat? Shall we go out first?”
Gao Yanchen’s stomach was bleeding and he did not have any relatives in the capital. Xue Xi definitely could not leave him here alone.
Even though Qin Shuang said that she was leaving, she must still be waiting outside to discuss how to take care of him.
Gao Yanchen’s parents had both died. Elder Gao was old, so it was best not to mention such matters...
Just as she was thinking of hiring a nurse or something, she heard Gao Yanchen say, “Sister Xi, don’t go.”
Xue Xi paused and turned around.
Gao Yanchen turned his head and did not look at Feng Yan.
The anger between the young man’s brows seemed to weaken at this moment. His red hair no longer looked as arrogant.
The night sky outside was very dark. The incandescent light in the ward shone on his face, making his face even paler.
He slowly said, “Sister Xi, do you want to play professional eSports?”
Xue Xi paused and was a little tempted.
Gao Yanchen continued, “If you play professionally, not only will you meet people like me, but you will also meet more formidable people and learn more formidable skills. You will also be able to learn tactical coordination...”
Xue Xi gulped and felt a little hungry.
She blinked and wanted to agree, but she felt that it was not appropriate. Hence, she looked at Xiang Huai.
Xiang Huai thought for a moment before saying, “You can try.”
Children’s lives should not be limited to studies.
In the eSports scene, she could get to know more people. Skills and whatnot were not important. What was important was learning the eSports and team spirit.
This would be very helpful to her in the future.
Only then did Gao Yanchen look at Feng Yan and slowly said, “Sister Xi’s marksman is exactly the same as mine. She even seems to have surpassed me. If you don’t want me, you can have her.”
Feng Yan’s expression changed when he heard this.
