Chapter 189: Pei Yuli Wakes Up

Pei Yuli was eventually taken to the hospital by a kind passerby who called the police.

He slept for three whole days before slowly waking up.

I opened my eyes, the smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils, and before me was a stark white hospital room.

Pei Yuli seemed to remember something and struggled violently to get up, but he didn't have the strength.

Pei Yi'an was dozing off to the side, propping her head up, when she noticed Pei Yuli's actions.

Startled awake, she hurriedly got up and pressed Pei Yuli down.

"Don't move. The doctor said your injury is very serious. You need to rest for the next few days and can't get out of bed. You can only rest like this."

Pei Yuli's eyes widened suddenly; he remembered!

He was dragged into an alley and beaten up, and then... then he saw Xu Yihuan...

Yes! Xu Yihuan!

It must have been Xu Yihuan who called the police and got him to the hospital!

He knew it! Xu Yihuan would never abandon him.

Pei Yuli felt a surge of relief and couldn't wait to confirm his thoughts and find proof from others that Xu Yihuan still cared about him.

"mom……"

"How did I... come to be here?"

Pei Yuli struggled to ask, looking at Pei Yi'an expectantly.

Pei Yi'an lowered her head and leaned close to Pei Yuli to listen attentively.

Hearing him ask that, she thought Pei Yuli wanted to find his savior, so she quickly explained.

“A butcher happened to be passing by and called the police after seeing you.”

"Don't worry, I've already paid him enough. You can focus on getting better."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Pei Yuli's beautiful eyes, and he withdrew his gaze from Pei Yi'an.

Isn't it Huanhuan...?

But he clearly saw Huanhuan...

He preferred to believe that he had seen wrong rather than that Xu Yihuan no longer wanted to care about him.

Pei Yuli seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask, "Mom... my... hand..."

Pei Yi'an opened her mouth, but hesitated, unsure how to explain. She only said, "It's okay, it will be alright."

Pei Yi'an was also very upset at this moment, because she knew that Pei Yuli cared a lot about his scientific research.

But his hand was almost shattered, and it's impossible for it to recover to the same state as before.

It's all those people's fault! She'll never let them get away with this!

The person hasn't been caught yet...

Pei Yuli was actually prepared, since he had been fully conscious throughout the entire ordeal.

He had studied human anatomy and knew the extent of his injuries...

But hearing those words still gave me a jolt.

Pei Yuli closed his eyes, and a tear of despair slid down his cheek.

...

In early June, the temperature in Beijing warmed up, and it was time to wear short sleeves.

After the land issue was resolved, Xu Yihuan spent almost all her time attending classes at school and living in the dormitory.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so only Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan were in the dormitory.

Xu Yihuan poked at the racing car model building blocks laid out in front of her and put the last block with the QR code on it.

A cool black and red race car appeared in front of him.

"Huanhuan, these building blocks are so pretty! Are you going to give them to Tan Zhixu?"

"Yeah, isn't it cool? I even had this custom-made."

Lu Anlan nodded: "Handsome!"

Then, as if pondering something, he asked, "Do you have any holidays? Why do you give him gifts?"

Hearing this, Xu Yihuan tilted her head. What holiday? How many days have we been together?

"No, I just wanted to give it away, there's no reason why."

Lu Anlan paused for a moment, as if suddenly enlightened, and said, "Could you send me the link? I want to buy one too."

She felt a little itchy and wanted to spend money on others.

I was just wondering what to give her, and this seemed perfect.

Xu Yihuan nodded: "Okay, I'll send it to you in a bit."

Xu Yihuan carried the transparent cover out the door, and also put on a gray-black cat ear headband.

This was a free gift from the seller when I bought the custom building blocks, so I'll give it to Tan Zhixu as well.

Tan Zhixu, with her aloof and arrogant demeanor, would definitely look especially adorable wearing cat ears like these.

Xu Yihuan thought to herself with delight.

Tan Zhixu has been giving impromptu lectures on some key and difficult advanced questions to students preparing for the competition in Mingde Building these past few days.

When Xu Yihuan found them, Tan Zhixu was turning to the side, explaining a problem to a female classmate.

The girl had a pure and innocent appearance, with her hair tied in a ponytail, and her fair neck exposed to the air.

He would occasionally tilt his head and ask questions about the order of things.

The distance between the two was well-controlled and did not overstep any boundaries.

But Xu Yihuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable watching this scene.

She didn't even have a chance to hear Tan Zhixu explain the problems to her.

She knew her thoughts were unreasonable, but she couldn't control her emotions.

Xu Yihuan watched quietly without knocking on the door to disturb them.

Finally, one of the male classmates facing her spotted Xu Yihuan.

With a strange expression, he poked Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu then realized what was happening and turned to look at Xu Yihuan.

This action prompted five or six people present to look at Xu Yihuan at the same time.

Their expressions froze, then they exchanged a strange glance.

Xu Yihuan noticed the strange expressions on their faces and narrowed her eyes slightly.

After glancing at Xu Yihuan, Tan Zhixu quickly turned back and finished explaining the rest of the story to the girl.

Then he happily jogged over to Xu Yihuan.

He reached out to hug Xu Yihuan, but Xu Yihuan raised her hand holding the building blocks.

Tan Zhixu immediately hugged the block shell tightly, looking at Xu Yihuan with dissatisfaction and grievance.

He grabbed Xu Yihuan's hand and pulled her into the study room: "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you, and I'll pick you up for dinner later."

"Ah, Xu, aren't you coming to eat with us? Didn't the teacher say she had something to tell you?" The girl twirled her pen, looking innocently at Tan Zhixu, waiting for him to speak.

Tan Zhixu glanced at her, then looked back at Xu Yihuan and asked bluntly, "Do you want me to go?"

Xu Yihuan almost lost control of her expression.

I was a little angry. If you want to go, then go; if you don't want to go, then don't go. What's the point of throwing this problem at me?

"Whatever," Xu Yihuan said stiffly, but her face showed no displeasure; instead, she appeared gentle and kind.

In Xu Yihuan's view, she couldn't reveal her relationship with Tan Zhixu in front of outsiders, otherwise wouldn't she become a laughing stock?

In Tan Zhixu's view, Xu Yihuan didn't care about him at all.

Tan Zhixu was feeling sullen.

But he still obediently clung to Xu Yihuan's waist: "No, I want to go with you!"

"If the old man has anything to tell me, just have him contact me on WeChat!"

The girl's expression turned quite unpleasant. Xu Yihuan couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, poked the hand on her waist, and handed the building blocks to Tan Zhixu: "These are for you."

Tan Zhixu was stunned for a moment, and in a second he realized the feeling of familiarity.

"It's a custom-made piece! I love it! Is it a holiday today?"

"What holiday? There are no holidays."

Tan Zhixu couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Oh. Okay."

That is, Huanhuan is simply good to him.

"Excuse me, we know you two are a sweet couple, but could you lend us Tan Zhixu for a while? After all, everyone's time is precious!"

"Yes, if we don't hurry, it'll be too late!"

Their tone carried a subtle hint of sarcasm.

Xu Yihuan frowned, but ultimately said nothing more: "Go ahead."
