Chapter 579: Chapter 574: Bai Xiaotang Side Story (8)
Bai Xiaotang shook her head in panic, not daring to look into his eyes again.
"No, it’s my lack of skill."
Fu Yuanxuan pressed his lips together and pulled her into his arms, "Tangtang, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
His embrace was a bit tight. Bai Xiaotang could hear the fear in his voice, and even his arms holding her were trembling slightly.
"I..."
"Tangtang—"
Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice came from afar.
Both of them turned their heads to look and saw You Le running over with a book in her arms.
"Tangtang, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
You Le ran to Bai Xiaotang, pulled her out of Fu Yuanxuan’s arms, walked several steps away, and then anxiously looked her over.
Bai Xiaotang was a bit surprised, "Sister You, how did you know I was here?"
"I called you, and you didn’t answer, so I asked Xiao Yang to check your location. What happened? Why are you at the school hospital? Are you injured?"
Bai Xiaotang shook her head, "No."
You Le turned to Fu Yuanxuan, her gaze carrying a hint of hostility, "Then what were you... What were you two doing? Was he bullying you?"
"No, no..." Bai Xiaotang hurriedly waved her hand, "Brother Fu got hurt and asked me to help him with treatment."
"Treatment? Bai Xiaotang, do you have a death wish? Did you forget what Sister Ning said?" You Le, angry, glared fiercely at Fu Yuanxuan and poked Bai Xiaotang’s shoulder.
"No, no. It’s just..."
"Dare to start without professional guidance? Aren’t you afraid of messing him up..." Halfway through, You Le seemed to think of something and stopped speaking. She looked at Fu Yuanxuan again, her expression much friendlier than before, "Instructor Fu, it seems it’s getting late. I’ll take Tangtang home now."
After speaking, without waiting for Fu Yuanxuan’s reaction, she grabbed Bai Xiaotang and ran, as if afraid Fu Yuanxuan would catch up.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
"Quick, look, is Instructor Fu chasing us?"
Bai Xiaotang turned her head to look, shook her head, and replied breathlessly, "No... no..."
"Oh my, that scared me to death! Tangtang, you’re really brave, not afraid of treating him wrong. He’s the Fu Family heir." You Le patted her chest to steady her breath and kept glancing behind them, afraid of being followed by "medical troubles."
Bai Xiaotang thought of the scene in the hospital, also feeling afraid.
How did she get bewitched into agreeing to Fu Yuanxuan’s request?
Truly brave...
"Phew... Tangtang, if you want to practice in the future, use Sister Ning and me as your test subjects obediently."
Bai Xiaotang hung her head, not replying.
***
Since the hospital incident, Fu Yuanxuan found it had been a long time since he’d seen Bai Xiaotang.
He couldn’t even find her at the usual places where he’d leave snacks for her.
It’s as if she was deliberately avoiding him.
Yang Xingwei saw his childhood friend holding a pink cloth bag, staring deeply at the window ahead, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Brother Fu, rejected by your little fiancée again?"
Ever since Fu Yuanxuan suddenly applied to transfer from Beizhou to become an instructor at the First Military Academy, his childhood friends constantly speculated whether he’d gone crazy.
It wasn’t until this mission, when he came to the school to find him, that he realized the always calm and self-restrained "Yama Fu" was truly moved by the Red Simurgh Star and genuinely attracted to his little fiancée.
Fu Yuanxuan turned his head and glanced at him, "I haven’t run into her."
"You haven’t? Doesn’t she pass that road every day to and from class?" Yang Xingwei suppressed a laugh, craning his neck to look out the window, then gently patted his shoulder, "Brother Fu, did you do something excessive, making the young girl start avoiding you?"
Fu Yuanxuan’s fist clenched slightly, giving no response for a long while.
Yang Xingwei continued, "Hey, Brother Fu, you can’t just turn into a stone waiting for her. You need to take the initiative to make amends."
This time, Fu Yuanxuan didn’t ignore him and turned to ask, "How do I make amends?"
"Pfft..." Yang Xingwei almost sputtered, incredulous, "Brother Fu, did you actually do something to that young girl? You beast..."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Fu Yuanxuan’s gaze turned sharp.
Yang Xingwei immediately raised his hands submissively, "Haha, don’t get excited! Brother Fu, coaxing has levels. You need to tell me what exactly you did to the young girl? Then according to the seriousness, I can give you advice."
Thinking about the situation in the school hospital, Fu Yuanxuan’s expression darkened, and his face became significantly more serious, making Yang Xingwei gradually drop his teasing, "Could it be serious? You wouldn’t dare forcefully..."
"I lied to her and almost got her into an accident."
"What?"
After Fu Yuanxuan recounted the school hospital incident, Yang Xingwei’s expression grew even more serious, furrowing his brow, "Brother Fu, this is really serious! If it were me, I’d be furious too!"
Fu Yuanxuan’s fists clenched even tighter, "I know, so how do I make amends?"
"This isn’t about making amends, Brother Fu, you’re the Young Master of the Fu Family. Your life is above all else. How could you let a half-trained medical student treat you? If something happened, what would you let the Fu Family do? How would you expect the Bai Family to compensate?"
"I..."
"Brother Fu, you could use any method to pursue a girl, but you chose the worst. If I were Bai Xiaotang, I’d definitely avoid you. You didn’t just almost get her in trouble; you didn’t value your own life either. If anything happened to you, do you think the Fu Family would let the Bai Family off?"
"I understand." Fu Yuanxuan’s fingers clenching the pink cloth bag turned pale as he turned and left.
It’s early winter, and the birch trees on campus have shed all their leaves, coated with a layer of shimmering frost.
Bai Xiaotang withdrew the white light from her fingertips, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the young man in front of her, "Thank you, Senior, for your hard work."
Li Lantian smiled warmly, "It’s nothing. I have to practice my superpower every day anyway. I’m glad to help my junior."
"Ahem..." Suddenly, a cough came from the front. Li Lantian immediately restrained his expression and looked respectfully at Professor Lin on the lectern, "Professor, my junior’s superpower is much more stable today."
Bai Xiaotang quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Professor Lin, who was reviewing student papers not far away, "Thank you, Professor Lin, for your guidance."
Professor Lin didn’t raise his head, just slightly nodded, "Hmm, continue tomorrow."
Bai Xiaotang quickly agreed, put on her backpack, and left the medical lab.
Li Lantian followed behind her, smiling as he asked, "Junior, shall we go eat?"
"Okay."
The two left the experimental building one after the other, heading for the nearest third canteen.
The path on the left was originally closer, but Bai Xiaotang pointed to the road on the right, "Senior Li, can we go that way?"
Li Lantian glanced at the road, feeling delighted, nodded slightly, "Sure, we can see the Baihua Forest."
Bai Xiaotang’s steps became a lot lighter.
"Junior, wait for me."
When Bai Xiaotang reached the familiar bench she passed daily, the familiar pink snack bag was unexpectedly gone.
She quickly walked over and searched around, "Where’s the bag?"
"Junior, what are you looking for?"
"A pink bag."
Seeing Bai Xiaotang was almost in tears, Li Lantian thought it contained something important to her and comforted her, "Junior, don’t worry, our students wouldn’t take someone else’s belongings carelessly. Perhaps someone thought it was lost and took it to security. Let’s check there..."
"Okay."
The two hurried to the security office to search, but it wasn’t there.
Li Lantian asked, "Senior, can we check the surveillance footage?"
"I need to apply to the instructor, please wait a moment."
