Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 23 The Rich Young Master's Little Pendant

"...We never expected to see something like that!"

Sitting on the hospital bed, Zhang Zhong, whose entire head was wrapped up, spoke excitedly in a somewhat unclear accent.

"Actually, we came out of curiosity. We thought that Senior Yang and Xu Xiunian didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for each other, so why did she suddenly hand Xu Xiunian a love letter? We just can't figure it out! We're so curious, so curious, hehe."

"And then you started following Dr. Xu?"

A group of people surrounded the hospital bed, all quietly listening to Zhang Zhong's boasting.

"How can you say we were stalking them? We were just going to watch something interesting, and who would have thought we'd encounter something like that? We were all stunned. Those thugs really gave us a fright. But then we realized we outnumbered them, and we were actually stalking them—or rather, sneaking in—it all means the same thing. Anyway, that's what happened. They were having a really good time chatting, especially the leader of the thugs, a typical villain. He was always rambling on and on, completely absorbed in his conversation, and didn't even notice us approaching."

"This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We couldn't just watch my brother get his arms and legs broken by them all alone, could we? So we seized the moment and acted decisively! I saved my brother's life. How about that? Wasn't I brave?"

He propped his head up with his hand, struck a cool pose, and gave the girl next to him a flirtatious wink.

"You saved me? How? By using your head?"

The girl wasn't buying it and said with a hint of sarcasm.

The room immediately erupted in laughter.

“I’m hurt. Your laughter hurt me…”

Zhang Zhong mimicked Xi Shi clutching her heart, appearing vulnerable.

“You were already injured.” The ward door opened, and Xu Xiunian walked in carrying a thermos.

"Fortunately, the injury isn't serious. I had someone prepare some medicinal food for you; remember to eat it later." Xu Xiunian put down the thermos and turned to see everyone staring at him. "What's wrong?"

Zhang Zhong looked at Xu Xiunian again, his expression somewhat dazed. "The old folks say that when people face a great calamity, their temperament often changes drastically. Now I've seen it with my own eyes. I've wanted to say this for a long time. Brother, do you know that you didn't stutter a single word when you were talking in the grove that night? If it weren't for the fact that your voice was the same, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it was you in the dark."

The students around him nodded in agreement.

If Xu Xiunian used to have some naivety, now that he has experienced such a great change, he has long since abandoned the weakness and naivety in his character.

Xu Xiunian used to be devoted to his medical career. Just as his doctor had diagnosed him, he was somewhat withdrawn and often stuttered when speaking to people. He didn't get along well with his classmates because his life revolved around medical research. Although his clothes were high-end, they were basically the same outfit, and his classmates hadn't changed their style in over a year. He was always alone in class and got perfect scores on every exam. However, when you asked him a question, his answers were too profound. This resulted in him having a good relationship with his classmates, but not often communicating with them in everyday life.

His aura was pure and comforting, which is why his classmates got along well with him even though they barely interacted.

But now, the clothes are still the same, but the person doesn't look like the same person anymore.

Previously, Xu Xiunian would walk with his head down, indicating his reluctance to communicate with others. However, when he walked in, he stood tall and straight. His once pale face was now rosy, and he no longer stuttered. His brows were filled with a sharpness, like a dusty sword finally seeing the light of day again. He was full of unstoppable momentum, completely unlike the somewhat withdrawn, taciturn research fanatic he once was.

And he doesn't look like someone who spends all his time in a laboratory at all.

The changes are too great in just a few days.

The students were all somewhat moved, but it was understandable. Anyone who encountered a madman who wanted to break their limbs and eventually escaped danger would be changed, except that Xu Xiunian's change was more significant.

Forced to grow up, this boy, who was already in his twenties but still had a somewhat naive personality, finally became like them after entering university—no, he became even better than them.

He's sharp and assertive, and anyone who sees him will know he's not someone to mess with. Who would have thought that before this, he had always been like an innocent little rabbit!

"Actually, it's good that things have changed..."

A female classmate murmured, and the surrounding classmates nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Suddenly, I realized that Dr. Xu's demeanor has changed, and he seems to have become even more handsome! He's even more handsome than the school heartthrob!!"

The girl covered her chest, looking completely absorbed.

Everyone: "..."

One of the girls present said, "Hey, you know what, I think I feel the same way."

The boys present: "...Oh!" They refused to accept this answer!!

"Remember to eat," Xu Xiunian said calmly, as if he hadn't heard the discussion. "Also, thank you all for what happened this time."

"Just thank me, but no real gesture?"

Xu Xiunian chuckled: "Yes, I'll send out red envelopes in the class group tonight. How much you get depends on your luck."

After dealing with his classmates, the smile on Xu Xiunian's face vanished the moment he stepped out of the ward.

Yu Liu, hiding in the pendant, was somewhat worried. Xu Xiunian had changed too much, and she was afraid that it would put pressure on him, and even more worried that this pressure would crush Xu Xiunian.

As Xu Xiunian stepped onto the hospital steps, his knees buckled and he staggered slightly. He frowned, regained his balance, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Yu Liu's worries deepened.

On the way home, Xu Xiunian's brother, Xu Anran, called.

"Brother, have you dealt with all those people?"

If you want to take your baby away, you'll have to pay the price!

"Things have changed a little and will probably be delayed for a while. I just wanted to let you know."

Xu Anran's voice sounded tired. It was his dereliction of duty that such a thing happened to his younger brother. He hadn't dealt with Jiang Xinyan properly, even though he knew that person had ill intentions, he still let his brother stay there.

Xu Xiunian was already mentally prepared for this. The young man who said he would cripple his limbs today must be someone extraordinary. He was too young, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet he had several subordinates. Moreover, he was quite insightful at times, not blinded by his two hundred million. Although he talked a lot, most of what he said imitated the gangsters on TV, probably trying his best to portray himself as a qualified gangster.

It's like trying to prove something to someone.
