Chapter 20: A Cucumber

At this moment, quite a few people had gathered in the hallway outside.

The collective action of the drill instructors led many freshmen to come over and watch the commotion.

Zhang Dabiao, Wang Jun, and Shen Xuanyi all came.

As a result, they first saw Li Chuan being pinned against the wall by a group of instructors, but later, those school leaders emerged and politely asked them to release Li Chuan and finally invited him in!

This scene left the group of freshmen watching the commotion utterly baffled.

"What did Li Chuan do?" Wang Jun asked curiously.

"Probably did something big!" Zhang Dabiao replied.

"I have a feeling Li Chuan is about to become famous!" Shen Xuanyi blinked, looking forward to it.

In the crowd, a graceful figure was also staring intently at the emergency room door, and that figure was Su Qinghe.

Meanwhile, Li Chuan was already being supported by Li Yong into the emergency room.

"Nanxu, quickly apologize to Classmate Li Chuan," Liu Zhenmin said.

Liu Nanxu, though a bit difficult earlier, straightforwardly stepped forward now, nodded towards Li Chuan, and said: "Li Chuan, I'm sorry, I was reckless earlier."

"My name is Liu Nanxu, let's add each other on WeChat, I'm also a senior at Jiangzhou Medical College, stick with me for the next four years in Jiangzhou!"

"Stick with you? A girl shouldn't say things like that!" Liu Zhenmin snorted, interrupting Liu Nanxu, "Classmate Li Chuan, truly thanks a lot for today! My child was spoiled by me and didn't speak properly earlier, don't take it to heart."

The person was indeed a secretary, treating him so courteously, making Li Chuan a bit overwhelmed, he immediately said: "Secretary Liu, you're very kind; Senior Sister Liu was just concerned about the old man, it's understandable."

Liu Zhenmin laughed: "Thanks to you today, you saved my father's life, you're now an honored friend of the Liu Family! I owe you a huge favor, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask!"

With that, Liu Zhenmin personally took out a business card and handed it to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan hastily said: "Secretary Liu, I appreciate your intention, but we medical students are meant to save lives, so there's no such thing as personal favor, I can't accept this card."

If he truly accepted it, that would make him like Liu Nanxu said, someone wanting to cling to the Liu Family.

A tree has its bark, and a person has their dignity; he absolutely couldn't take the card.

Liu Zhenmin looked incredulous: "Classmate Li, do you know how many people in Jiangzhou City want my card? And now I'm giving it to you, and you refuse?"

"Not everyone's eyes are solely fixed on power and money." Liu, with a look of admiration, said, "Zhenmin, put the card away, I can see from Classmate Li's expression that he's not bluffing. Good! Very good!"

Liu Zhenmin retracted the card and, smiled at Li Yong: "Professor Li, your younger brother is impressive!"

Li Yong just smiled and nodded; at this moment, he truly didn't know what to say, because given his usual status and level, he rarely interacts with big figures like Liu Zhenmin!

"Secretary Liu, the old man just improved, and he still needs a period of rest," Li Chuan said, "It's inconvenient for us to disturb, so we'll be heading out."

Liu Zhenmin was very courteous: "Professor Li, Classmate Li, take care."

"Okay."

By now, Li Chuan was quite tired and turned to walk out of the emergency room, he just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

Li Yong quickly followed him.

Watching Li Chuan's back, Liu Nanxu showed interest in her eyes.

By the time the two walked out, the students who came to watch the commotion had already been taken away by the instructors.

Moreover, Dean Tian Guofu had just publicly praised Li Chuan's life-saving feat on the sports field!

With that, Li Chuan became instantly famous among the circle of freshmen!

When Li Chuan and Li Yong were walking across the sports field, almost everyone's eyes were on Li Chuan!

At that moment, Ding Yang also approached, and Li Yong spoke about Li Chuan's situation.

"Li Yong, I remember you have a meeting soon, don't you? Let Huanxiang come over to take Chuan home to rest," Ding Yang smiled.

"Okay," Li Yong nodded.

However, Li Yong made several calls, but nobody answered.

"I'll have Qingyao come over then; we're neighbors, so it's very convenient," Ding Yang quickly suggested.

Li Chuan saved the old chief, and he has the opportunity to establish a connection with Secretary Liu now, Ding Yang didn't want to miss the chance to befriend Li Chuan.

Soon, after they helped Li Chuan to the school entrance, Zhao Qingyao's car had just parked.

Having home nearby the school is truly convenient.

After a brief understanding of the situation, Zhao Qingyao helped Li Chuan into the car.

"Never thought you had such skills, your medical expertise is excellent! How did you do it?" Zhao Qingyao asked while driving.

Li Chuan chuckled: "I learned traditional medicine from my grandfather when I was a kid, I know a bit about acupuncture and massage techniques, I just used acupuncture to remove the blood clot inside Liu's head."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyao was immediately shocked!

"Didn't see this coming, you're not just a little rascal, you're kind of impressive." Zhao Qingyao laughed lightly, looking at Li Chuan with newfound admiration, "And you even refused Secretary Liu's business card, what guts!"

"Accepting his card would contradict my original intention in studying medicine," Li Chuan shook his head, smiling awkwardly.

"Understanding one's original intent? I hope you continue maintaining it," Zhao Qingyao said playfully.

"Of course," Li Chuan nodded, and when talking about these, his eyes were exceptionally resolute.

Upon getting out of the car, Li Chuan felt himself stumbling and nearly fell over.

There's no choice, doing acupuncture in the head area isn't like elsewhere, he nearly exhausted both his mental and physical energy!

Managing to hold on without collapsing earlier was already a remarkable feat.

"I just noticed your sister-in-law went shopping, given your condition, you need someone to look after you, so come to my place first," Zhao Qingyao suggested, hooking Li Chuan's left arm over her shoulder while holding his waist.

At such a close distance, Li Chuan could smell Zhao Qingyao's pleasant fragrance and the scent of her perfume.

The fragrance was very gentle and elegant, without any overpowering odor, definitely that of high-quality perfume.

After Zhao Qingyao assisted Li Chuan into the living room, she was already panting heavily, her small chest rising and falling continuously: "You're really quite heavy… Just lie down on the sofa for a bit and rest."

Li Chuan waved his hand: "No need, sitting down is enough."

Zhao Qingyao snorted lightly: "I said lie down, so lie down; sitting doesn't allow you to recover as fast as lying down."

"Alright then."

Li Chuan suddenly realized that these young ladies like to give orders, so he dared not insist further, lying directly on the sofa.

Zhao Qingyao's sofa was very spacious and comfortable.

Extremely soft.

Moreover, it had a faint fragrance, similar to the scent on Zhao Qingyao.

Lying there, Li Chuan couldn't help but recall the last time he made out with Zhao Qingyao here.

But just then, he suddenly noticed a cucumber on the coffee table!

The key thing was, there was a small umbrella attached to the cucumber!

Seeing this, Li Chuan froze, could it be that Zhao Qingyao was practicing her ancestral skills alone at home a moment ago?
