Chapter 12 Chapter 12

This was not the Xia Peizhi that Lu Yi had seen before. He felt that the image of Senior Xia was shattered.

Senior Xia Peizhi had always been a role model for the students of University A. While not a genius in the traditional sense, he was a truly successful individual. His success was due to many factors, but his hard work and dedication were undeniable. Only someone like him could truly convince such proud students at University A, leading the school to widely publicize his experience as a source of inspiration and a role model for the students.

After all, Xia Peizhi has seized the opportunity with his own vision and entered the top of the rich list, and he is also the youngest one on the list. He is a shining movable signboard in himself.

He is like a man-made god. Although people of the same sex repel each other and many rebellious boys look down on him, even they cannot deny Xia Peizhi's ability and charm.

Therefore, it was difficult for Lu Yi to understand what kind of magic Bai Ruoruo, who looked lonely and weak but was actually vicious, had, and what means she could use to bring down the person who was originally high and mighty and seemed otherworldly from the altar.

Too ordinary. Xia Peizhi was truly too ordinary now. If he wasn't so famous, if Minmin hadn't mentioned her love for him so many times, and if Lu Yi hadn't paid special attention to him for a while, I'm afraid Lu Yi wouldn't even recognize him today.

Even if he was wearing the most expensive suit, the cuffs soaked by the rain and the wet trouser legs all showed how miserable this senior Xia was.

Even though Xia Peizhi's face was still there, he was still completely different from the former Senior Xia.

It would have been fine if he had acted a little awkwardly in an attempt to get closer to Bai Ruoruo, but in the end Xia Peizhi looked no better than him.

It’s more comfortable to get wet in a T-shirt like him than to get wet in a suit!

"It's raining, and no one answered my phone. I was a little worried, so I came over. Aunt Qin, did you guys get wet today?"

Xia Peizhi knocked on the ward door twice gently, and then spoke close to the door.

Lu Yi sneered from a distance, and really felt that the girls in school who dreamed of pursuing Xia Peizhi should see what their male idol looked like.

And that brat, Lao Si, called him a lickspittle, and regarded Xia Peizhi as his idol all day long. As a result, he is like this now. Did he insult Xia Peizhi by calling him a lickspittle?

Lu Yi whistled, twirling the large umbrella Zhang Qin had given him in his right hand. He still needed to return the umbrella to the outpatient department, and the thought of this made him feel even more unworthy.

Who isn't a spoiled child? He got wet in the rain for Bai Ruoruo, but she didn't even let him into the ward. She just threw a towel and an umbrella at him, and said a few light words of thanks and that was it.

He opened his phone again and found that he hadn't received the expected message. To be honest, this made him feel tired for no reason and a little bored.

But when he saw the always popular Xia Peizhi being cautious at the corner, he couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism again.

If he succeeds in wooing someone Xia Peizhi can't, does that mean he's even better than Xia Peizhi? Bai Minmin likes Xia Peizhi, and Xia Peizhi treats Bai Ruoruo with such care that he practically holds her in his hands. What if Bai Ruoruo likes him? It's hard not to feel a sense of superiority.

Being pursued by a man usually increases a woman's charm, and the same is true for men.

A sunny and confident smile appeared on Lu Yi's angular face, which looked extremely deceptive.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the window of the hospital corridor. Lu Yi gritted his teeth and finally went to the bathroom downstairs to wipe the towel Zhang Qin had just handed him. He wiped his soaked clothes and tried to dry them out. He also wiped the water droplets from his hair.

I originally planned to throw the towel directly into the trash can after use, but the moment I reached out my hand, I stopped for some reason.

.

In Ward 1605, Ruoruo changed into dry clothes. Zhang Qin wanted to continue blow-drying her hair without changing herself, but Ruoruo refused. "Auntie Qin, let me do it myself. You go change your clothes too. If you catch a cold later, I could easily get infected even if I don't have a cold, right?"

Zhang Qin might have taken it lightly, but when she thought about the possibility of her catching a cold and infecting Ruoruo, she immediately changed her mind and let Ruoruo blow dry her hair while she hurried to change her clothes. Fortunately, there were two sets of her clothes left in the ward.

As soon as she changed, she heard a slight knock on the door and some talking. She thought it was the young man from before, but when she opened the door she found out it was Xia Peizhi.

She stuck her head out the door again and saw that the young man who had helped them borrow the umbrella had already left. In her haste to get Ruo Ruo to change her clothes, she had given the young man a towel and an umbrella, intending to let him wipe off the rain and use the umbrella when he left. Now thinking about it, it seemed a bit rude.

But the thought was fleeting. Even if she had to do it all over again, her most important priority would still be to take care of Ruoruo. But next time she saw that young man, she should sincerely apologize. She wondered if his mother was in the hospital. If she was, she could bring some gifts to visit her as a token of her gratitude.

"Pei Zhi, why did you come here in this weather? Besides, didn't your old man say that he has been discharged from the hospital?" She couldn't hear clearly what Xia Peizhi said outside the door just now.

Xia Peizhi didn't feel embarrassed and repeated his explanation, "I called Ruoruo but no one answered. This is the time when you usually go out for a walk, so I was a little worried, so I came here."

Some things can be seen through by others even if they are not said out loud, so it is better to admit it openly. After all, he has no other suitable reason.

Zhang Qin didn't dislike his straightforwardness, because he had indeed made no secret of his thoughts a long time ago. Except for the naive Ruoruo who didn't understand these things, Zhang Qin, who had experienced it, would not fail to see it.

But it is undeniable that because of Xia Peizhi's presence, Ruoruo has become much more lively. She is no longer as lifeless as before, and no longer often says those heartbreaking and discouraging words.

Sometimes Zhang Qin would often wonder if she had been supervising Ruoruo too much over the years. She followed her around all day long, always worried that something might happen to her, but she forgot that Ruoruo also needed friends of her age and needed to interact with the outside world.

"Pei Zhi, you're here?" Ruoruo stopped the hair dryer, her crystal clear little face flushed, her shiny black and fluffy hair draped over her shoulders, and her originally slightly long bangs were combed to both sides.

"Did you get wet?" Xia Peizhi asked worriedly, and his bony hands tentatively tried to smooth her bangs.

Ruo Ruo didn't refuse, "I only got a little wet, it's okay."

"But you, it seems like you've been soaked here and there~" Ruoruo smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, which made her look a bit mischievous.
