Chapter 1054 - 1051: A Ray of Hope in Despair 5
Last night, Li Zhen was still at the South Country University tavern when she received her call, and early this morning, she went out to prepare some things.
"Look, these are all for external injuries; I also managed to get some anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medication... Oh, and this bottle of Yunnan Baiyao Medicine was given by Li Mingyu when he returned last time; see if it’s useful..."
Yan Xixi was overjoyed as if a divine artifact had arrived.
Li Zhen even brought a lot of vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities, filling the fridge completely.
After putting everything in place, Yan Xixi handed him a cup of hot coffee, "Li Zhen, I really don’t know how to thank you."
He shook his head, "How’s Huang Family cousin’s situation?"
"He woke up once this morning and now he’s asleep again. I’m just afraid his wound will get infected..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll inject him with anti-inflammatory medication later and use Yunnan Baiyao Medicine..."
"Do you know how?"
"Can’t say I know, but my dad is a doctor... I’ve learned a bit by being around him..."
Yan Xixi was startled; she knew Teacher Yang was a university teacher and thought Li Zhen’s father was just an ordinary university teacher too; she didn’t expect him to be a professor in the medical school.
"Yan Xixi, you needn’t worry too much. Luckily, Huang Family cousin has come out; it’s a blessing amidst misfortune. Last night I heard my mother mention that many people in that circle from the same batch have gone in, and anyone related to Zhou Ting’s family was implicated to some degree. It’s already a rare feat that Huang Xiaojue is alive and out..."
Yan Xixi could only comfort herself in this way.
It’s a blessing amidst misfortune.
"Yan Xixi, what are your plans for the future?"
She was very confused.
She didn’t know what her plans were.
"Will you go back?"
Go back?
She had originally planned to.
But how could she go back now?
After a while, she whispered, "I don’t have much going on right now, and I’m not in a hurry to go back. I have to wait for his wounds to heal before deciding."
Li Zhen wanted to say something, but swallowed his words.
Because he cared about Yan Xixi, he naturally also kept an eye on Wan Donglin’s whereabouts. An old Zhang’s birthday had invited some small fourth-generation kids, and there was a little image floating among the familiar circles, which included Zhang Chuchu and Wan Donglin raising their glasses.
Graduation ceremony, how important is that?
A person has countless birthdays in life, but graduating from South Country University happens only once.
He found it hard to believe that Wan Donglin truly had sincere affections for Yan Xixi. However, today’s Li Zhen is no longer the impulsive teenager he once was. Out in society, people consider more.
To speak of gossip means being a busybody, and he didn’t want to talk about scandals anymore, making Yan Xixi even more dismayed, so he never mentioned Wan Donglin’s name again.
Especially, there was a sentence stuck in his throat: "In this incident, Huang Xiaojue and Wan Donglin made very different choices. Yan Xixi, don’t you see clearly?"
But he managed to hold back.
He just asked, "Yan Xixi, if you need anything, just let me know."
She shook her head, "I’m already very embarrassed."
"Don’t be polite with me, actually speaking, Huang Xiaojue is actually my relative. My mom said he’s really a rare good person; that he could escape from the mire this time is indicative of his character..."
She smiled, "Xiaojue’s character has always been beyond reproach."
He was silent and couldn’t continue.
After a long time, Li Zhen stood up to leave.
Yan Xixi saw him out the door, "Li Zhen, could you keep this confidential for me?"
