Chapter 578: Chapter 573: Bai Xiaotang Extra (7)
Senior Li’s steps halted as he looked closely, only to see the man on the hospital bed with an extremely cold expression, his gaze towards him hostile.
Obviously very hostile towards him.
Bai Xiaotang immediately introduced, "Brother Fu, he is our department’s Senior Li, an Eighth Rank Healing Ability user, and he can definitely heal your wounds right away."
"Tangtang, aren’t you going to heal me?" Fu Yuanxuan turned to look at Bai Xiaotang, his tone somewhat aggrieved.
That cold, hard face even wore a trace of pity, as if she had wronged him.
Bai Xiaotang replied somewhat guiltily, "Brother Fu, my healing level is too low to completely heal your wounds."
"It’s okay. If one time isn’t enough, then more treatments. There’s always a time when it can be healed. Besides, isn’t superpower supposed to get more proficient with practice? You can use me as your training subject." Fu Yuanxuan raised his hand to grasp Bai Xiaotang’s hand, his eyes full of pleading.
"But..."
Fu Yuanxuan suddenly exerted force, pulling Bai Xiaotang close to him, half-leaning on him, and whispered into her ear while staring directly at Senior Li, "Tangtang, you know I can’t let outsiders treat me..."
Only then did Bai Xiaotang remember Fu Yuanxuan’s other identity as the heir of the top noble family, the Fu Family, on the Hua Continent, indeed having many taboos that cannot be known by outsiders.
Body condition being one of them.
A trace of worry appeared on her face, and not caring about being shy, she turned aside struggling and apologized to Senior Li: "Sorry, Senior, this might have been a wasted trip for you. My brother’s condition is a bit special, I’ll treat him later. Thank you for coming all the way, I’ll see you out first."
Senior Li glanced at the man on the bed tightly holding Bai Xiaotang’s waist, asserting his ownership, feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside.
"Junior, no need to apologize. It’s my pleasure to serve you."
Bai Xiaotang suddenly felt the hand around her waist tighten slightly, making her a bit breathless, and she pushed him hard, "Brother Fu, I can’t get up."
But Fu Yuanxuan’s arm was like an iron brand welded to her, holding tighter and tighter, even after two pushes she couldn’t break free.
Senior Li’s gaze darkened slightly and he asked Bai Xiaotang, "Junior, do you need help?"
"Ah? No, no, Senior, you should go back first..." Bai Xiaotang instinctively felt that Fu Yuanxuan was somewhat dangerous at the moment, and if she didn’t let Senior Li leave, he might not leave the school hospital today.
"But I see you..."
Fu Yuanxuan’s gaze turned sharp, "Get out—"
Senior Li’s words choked, and his steps halted just as he was about to step forward.
The man on the bed looked at him with a murderous gaze, the fingertips of his other hand sparking slightly with electricity.
He was a Thunder Ability user?
Senior Li was somewhat embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Junior, I’ll go now, get in touch if there’s anything."
Watching the hospital ward door hastily close, Bai Xiaotang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she came back to her senses, she found herself still half-leaning on Fu Yuanxuan, her face close to his, clearly feeling the heat of his breath.
"Brother Fu, let go of me..." Bai Xiaotang panicked, pressing against his chest, freeing herself from his arms, and stood up.
Fu Yuanxuan looked at her face blushing like an apple, and suddenly smiled, "Tangtang, can you help me heal now?"
"Ah? Hmm, okay..."
Bai Xiaotang’s heart was beating fast, not daring to meet the eyes of the man opposite.
"Aren’t you going to unwrap the bandage?"
"Ah, okay..."
Fu Yuanxuan’s wound wasn’t deep, but its length was somewhat intimidating, Bai Xiaotang’s fingers trembled slightly, trying hard to cover the entire wound with the white light at her fingertips.
Looking at her reddened eyes, Fu Yuanxuan suddenly regretted it.
Regretted letting her help him heal.
"Tangtang, this wound just looks scary, it’s actually not deep and not in a vital place, it’ll be fine in a few days..."
Bai Xiaotang sniffled, turning to look at him, her beautiful eyes faintly glistening with tears, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt, not at all. Tangtang, it could actually heal quickly even without the healing ability, I’ll call the nurse to re-bandage it."
Saying that, Fu Yuanxuan straightened up, wanting to press the call bell by the bed, but Bai Xiaotang grabbed his wrist.
"Don’t move, it’ll be done soon."
The white light at Bai Xiaotang’s fingertips thickened significantly, and a thin layer of sweat gradually formed on her forehead.
Fu Yuanxuan had heard Ji Ning in Beizhou explain the principles of the healing system, and grasped her wrist, refusing the treatment, "Tangtang, I feel a lot better now, no need to heal anymore."
He now wished he could beat himself up; why use a suffering tactic to pursue a girl?
"Tangtang, help me re-bandage it." Fu Yuanxuan tenderly wiped the sweat off Bai Xiaotang’s forehead, only to find her temperature a bit low, panicked, he held her head and placed his forehead against hers, indeed very cold.
"Tangtang, what’s wrong with you? Why is your body temperature so cold?" Fu Yuanxuan, scared, hurriedly pressed the call bell.
"Doctor, nurse, someone come quickly!"
minutes later—
A professor from the medical school, wearing a white coat and glasses, slowly withdrew the superpower from his palm, harshly addressed Bai Xiaotang, whose head was drooping: "Daring to recklessly use a superpower without mastering it?"
"Professor, it’s all my fault..."
Fu Yuanxuan, about to plead, saw Professor Lin sternly glaring at him, scolding: "It’s indeed your fault! If injured, undergo proper treatment, what’s with calling a medical student? I really don’t know what to say to you young people, can’t you pick a better place to have a romantic relationship? Is the hospital a place for romance? If I wasn’t coincidentally at the school hospital, forget about romance, you two might as well have been suicidal..."
Bai Xiaotang immediately raised her head, "No... we aren’t..."
Before she finished, Fu Yuanxuan grabbed her arm, stopping her, "You’re right, sir, it’s all my fault, I dragged Tangtang to treat me. It’s all my mistake, please don’t be mad at her, I’ll reflect deeply once I get back..."
Seeing his sincere attitude, and looking at Bai Xiaotang who was tightly held by Fu Yuanxuan, Professor Lin coldly snorted: "Fine, have the nurse re-bandage your wound, then leave immediately."
"Yes."

When they left the school hospital, it was already getting dark, with stars beginning to twinkle in the sky.
Fu Yuanxuan glanced at the time, then looked down at the girl beside him and said, "Tangtang, it’s already past eight, let’s go eat."
Only then did Bai Xiaotang realize that her stomach had long been rumbling with hunger, and she nodded slightly, "Okay."
At this time, there weren’t many students on campus paths.
The two walked side by side, not worried about running into someone they knew.
Bai Xiaotang slightly lowered her head, watching the fallen leaves on the asphalt road, feeling somewhat nervous inside.
Fu Yuanxuan’s intentions in the school hospital were too obvious, making her unable to calm her heart.
Does he really like her?
Suddenly, her fingers were enveloped by a warm large hand.
Bai Xiaotang, like a startled rabbit, abruptly raised her head and met Fu Yuanxuan’s deep, affectionate gaze.
Fu Yuanxuan gently held her shoulders, sincerely apologizing.
"Tangtang, I’m sorry, it was all my fault, making you almost get into trouble."
