Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 19 The Rich Young Master's Little Pendant

Jiang Xinyan clutched her heart, which suddenly ached, and was speechless. She watched Xu Xiunian walk away, her heart filled with resentment. Xu Xiunian was indeed not as stupid as he seemed. He was a medical student himself; he should have been the one to provide first aid in this situation. Why did he need to call a doctor?!

Xu Xiunian did it on purpose. He did seem slow to react in many things, but that was only when he opened his heart to people he knew well. Jiang Xinyan was no longer related to him, so naturally she didn't need any special treatment.

Xu Xiunian left the school directly, clutching the pendant he had just recovered tightly in his left hand the whole way, and returned to the apartment his family had bought for him outside the school.

For the first twenty-odd years of his life, the most important things for Xu Xiunian, besides his family, were his medical research. His small apartment was already filled with medical equipment. The entire apartment was white, without any decoration, and many medical instruments were placed haphazardly inside. Even a real medical student might not be able to recognize many of these things, which shows how profound Xu Xiunian's expertise was in this field.

As soon as he returned to his apartment, Xu Xiunian would immediately immerse himself in his research. He had already begun to study and research effective drugs for cancer, a problem that had stumped many medical experts. Even Xu Xiunian had encountered obstacles along the way, but these obstacles only increased his interest, allowing him to devote himself even more wholeheartedly to the research.

Today, Xu Xiunian had no interest in his research at all. He hurriedly stepped over the equipment that filled the room and went straight into the bedroom, which only had one bed. Then, he carefully opened his tightly clenched left hand and took off the pendant hanging around his neck.

The blue teardrop-shaped pendant now has a tiny bit of pink in the center.

Xu Xiunian could even vaguely see that inside the pendant, there seemed to be a tiny little person hidden inside. She had long, ankle-length black hair, wore a loose-fitting ancient-style blue robe, had a round, slightly chubby oval face, and her pale pink lips were slightly upturned. Her equally round cat-like eyes curved into crescent moons, and her long, curled eyelashes added a touch of tenderness. A touch of blue on her forehead added to her allure, giving her the kind of captivating beauty described in books.

"you're so beautiful……"

Xu Xiunian muttered to himself, his gaze already lost in thought, feeling as if he were in a dream. His heart seemed to sense something, pounding so loudly that Xu Xiunian felt a little panicked.

What if... I scare this pretty little person?

Hearing Xu Xiunian's mutterings, Yu Liu's smile widened. She hadn't expected that this time the target of her wish would be so silly, making her look inexplicably funny.

"Should I thank you for your compliment?"

Yu Liu wanted to intimidate her target. This dull-witted person shouldn't be so aggressive as to attack her just because she was a fairy. She flicked her sleeve, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the blue pendant, condensing into a small human figure in the air. When the smoke dissipated, the little figure hiding in the pendant had actually appeared in reality.

Xu Xiunian was completely dumbfounded. He stood there for more than ten minutes, and only when he saw Yu Liu standing there quietly watching him did he seem to finally react and hesitantly reached out his hand.

He slowed his breathing and gently touched Yu Liu with his hand.

The warm, silky touch told him it was real. Had he encountered a real-life fairy? So fairies really do exist in this world.

"Are you... a fairy?"

That's what he thought, and that's what he asked.

The other person's blank stare made her look inexplicably silly, which made Yu Liu even chuckle. She widened her smile and nodded slightly, "Yes."

"So, is this your home?"

Xu Xiunian picked up the pendant at Yu Liu's feet and stammered, "What is it?"

Yu Liu tilted her head and looked at him with a big smile: "That's my body. I've already recognized you as my master. You have to protect it for me."

The little boy's eyes were full of trust in him, and Xu Xiunian instantly felt a great responsibility. He clenched the pendant tightly in his palm, as if making a vow: "Yes, I will. From now on, you are mine, and I will protect you forever!"

The sincerity in his eyes reminded Yu Liu of Qi Jing, who had once made the same vow to him and kept his promise for life.

"Ah."

Although it sounded like childish talk, Yu Liu felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She thought that she had met someone like Qi Jing again, and that was wonderful.

"...Are you...going to cry?" Seeing the tears in Yu Liu's eyes, Xu Xiunian felt heartbroken, but he had never comforted a girl before and had no idea what to do in this situation.

"No, I'm just a little touched." Yu Liu raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes and said stubbornly.

"Okay, alright, then, um, can I ask a question?" Xu Xiunian thought for a while, and finally stammered out the question.

"Well, you ask."

Yu Liu winked playfully at Xu Xiunian.

Xu Xiunian immediately felt a suffocating sensation, as if his heart had been struck. He forced himself not to touch the skin next to his heart, and stammered, "I... I want to ask you, why did you choose to acknowledge me as your master?"

Xu Xiunian wasn't stupid. Even if he didn't realize it at first, so much time had passed that he understood that Jiang Xinyan must have tried many methods to make the pendant recognize her as its owner after she got it. Judging from the question she asked him, she had no way to make the pendant recognize her as its owner, yet she didn't know why she thought she could and came to him.

Unlike Jiang Xinyan, the pendant accepted her as its master without her doing anything.

"Because that's why I came here to find you."

Yu Liu's words made Xu Xiunian's heart pound wildly again, so fast that he couldn't control it.

"Then, why did you come to see me?"

Yu Liu's eyes darted around. "Because Jiang Xinyan is an utterly wicked person. She has always wanted to hurt you, while you are an exceptionally good person. So I am here to protect you."

Xu Xiunian's lips twitched a few times. He wanted to say that he didn't need Yu Liu's protection, but he was afraid that if he said that, Yu Liu would leave. After hesitating for a few moments, he finally said nothing.

"Well, my name is Xu Xiunian, what's your name?"

You can call me Yu Liu.

"Yu Liu? Calling you by your name sounds too formal. You're so small, like a little baby. How about I just call you Baby?"

Baby...

Okay! ^o^~

And so, Yu Liu settled down at Xu Xiunian's house.

Xu Xiunian's life consisted entirely of research, almost like that of an ascetic monk. This was what Yu Liu was most dissatisfied with, as she couldn't cultivate in this world and could only pass the time with other things. Fortunately, Xu Xiunian wasn't inflexible. Knowing that his personality was too rigid, he added various electronic devices such as a TV, computer, and game console to his small apartment to make the baby like him more. This way, when he was doing research, Yu Liu could sit next to him and watch TV, keeping him company, and a warm and tender feeling would flow between them.

Xu Xiunian also sent someone to investigate Jiang Xinyan. He didn't know any special methods, so he simply called his brother, Xu Anran, who would then thoroughly investigate Jiang Xinyan.

The baby said Jiang Xinyan would harm him, so she would! Xu Xiunian blindly believed Yu Liu.

The investigation results were somewhat alarming. Even Xu Xiunian's brother, Xu Anran, was taken aback. After rumors of Jiang Xinyan and Xu Xiunian's relationship circulated at school, they secretly met Jiang Xinyan and immediately sensed that she was somewhat restless. Later, when they discovered that Jiang Xinyan was behind these rumors, they concluded that she must be very cunning to try and get her away from Xu Xiunian. At the time, they hadn't seriously investigated Jiang Xinyan's past, mainly to avoid offending Xu Xiunian. Now that Xu Xiunian had brought it up, they had no reason not to investigate, and the results were shocking.

Jiang Xinyan's background has a bit of a melodramatic element. She is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family. Although her mother is not the kind of woman who frequents brothels, she still spends her days among men. Her mother takes pleasure in conquering men. By chance, she met Jiang Xinyan's father and then gave him her heart.

It turned out that the man was a complete scumbag. Her mother was cruelly abandoned and then found out that she was pregnant with the scumbag's child. Out of maternal instinct, she did not abort the child, but instead gave birth to her. From a young age, she taught Jiang Xinyan that men are a group of things that can be used at any time. You don't have to give anything, and they can give you money, wealth and power. If you want to live your ideal life, then go and conquer men.

This person's values ​​are so warped that they're practically out of control. Jiang Xinyan doesn't know if she inherited it from her mother, but she's been flirting with boys since kindergarten. Her teachers noticed this about her personality, but they didn't correct it.

When Jiang Xinyan was fifteen or sixteen, she could easily manipulate five or six boys at will. Xu Xiunian was just one of the boys she had manipulated.

She got what she wanted this way, and even now she's entangled with several powerful and influential people.

Xu Xiunian stared at the documents in front of him for more than 20 minutes, looking as if he was in a daze, before finally putting them away. He did not object to his brother's decision to place several bodyguards around him out of concern.

That day, right after class, a little girl approached him.

"Um, someone asked me to give this to you. She said you'll understand once you read it, so please make sure you read it!"

The little girl put down the pink envelope in her hand and hurried away.

"Hey, our Dr. Xu is getting more and more popular! He's even openly handing over love letters. Come on, open them and see whose they are!"

Several classmates were still standing nearby. Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, they all gathered around. Zhang Zhong, who was on good terms with Xu Xiunian, reached out and snatched the envelope from his hand, saying something jokingly.

Xu Xiunian frowned immediately. "No, stop messing around. I don't want to be in a relationship. Throw it in the trash."

An eerie silence fell over the room after those words. Everyone in the school knew about Xu Xiunian and Jiang Xinyan's little saga. Lately, no one knew what was wrong with them; the two who used to hang out together were now rarely seen. Rumors were circulating that they had broken up, and now, they'd heard one of them say she didn't want to date anymore. It seemed their relationship was indeed over.

"...It's fine if you throw it in the trash, but are you really not going to read it? What if it wasn't a love letter? Besides, this girl finally mustered up the courage to express her feelings, and you're just going to throw it in the trash without even reading it? What if she comes to you crying... Think about it, aren't you the one who hates women crying the most?"

Zhang Zhong's words made sense, and Xu Xiunian couldn't refute them: "Then, let's open it and take a look."

After opening it, the letter wasn't actually a love letter expressing his feelings, but it was essentially the same as one.

[Xiu Nian, this is Yang You Shu. I have something I want to tell you. I'll be waiting for you in the grove of trees west of the school around 6 PM tonight. Could you come over?]

"Oh~"

A group of classmates around them let out lewd laughter, realizing that Xu Xiunian didn't quite understand matters of the heart. Zhang Zhong even told Yang Youshu a little lie, "It seems that your senior has something important to discuss with you. Don't forget to go then."

Xu Xiunian didn't quite understand the deeper meaning behind this, but Yang Youshu was his student under the same teacher, so maybe she really had something important to tell him?

Xu Xiunian finally decided to go and see when the time came, but he was a little puzzled as to why people kept inviting him to the woods to the west. Although the place looked dark and secluded, wouldn't the girls be scared?

He only thought about this question casually and didn't take it to heart.

At 6 p.m., Xu Xiunian arrived as promised.

As soon as they arrived at the agreed location, Xu Xiunian frowned. It was already getting dark outside, and the small grove of trees, already covered by leaves, looked rather frightening at this time.

"Hey~ you're here pretty punctually, buddy~"

A strange, off-key voice sounded from the side, and Xu Xiunian then noticed that there was someone hiding in the darkness!

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
