Chapter 243 Male protagonist Xiao Peichuan
Without Cheng Zhen, Peng Li, and Qin Yunzhi, the campus of Peking University seems to remain the same as before.
However, Xiao Taohua, this prominent figure, has also garnered even more attention.
Despite the attention they received, very few people actually dared to step forward.
After all, Li Zhen had said a few days ago that anyone who came near him was up to no good.
Given the precedent set by Cheng Zhen, no one really has the guts to come over for the time being.
Even Liu Jiayi, Xiao Taohua's roommate who usually didn't get along with her, avoided her, wishing she had never argued with Xiao Taohua. After all, she had also heard the news that Xiao Taohua had connections.
Once Liu Jiayi stopped making noise, the dormitory became harmonious.
The other two naturally wouldn't argue with Xiao Taohua, but they did keep their distance from her.
Xiao Taohua didn't realize this subtle relationship. After all, all she did every day was absorb knowledge. Her dormitory was just a place to sleep, and even when she had time, she was mostly with Li Zhen and the others. She had very little time to talk to her roommates.
This led to Xiaotaohua becoming increasingly distant from her roommates.
It's not that there's a simple conflict, like they just can't get along.
But their relationship remained that of ordinary classmates.
We might exchange a few words when we meet, but that's it.
Little Peach Blossom didn't insist on this, and Li Zhen and the others didn't care either.
In their view, if Xiaotaohua wants to make friends, then so be it; if she doesn't, it doesn't matter, as they will always be there for her.
Springtime weather is getting hotter and hotter; some people wear cotton-padded coats in the morning but may wear short sleeves by noon.
Xiao Taohua had some rare free time, while Li Zhen and the others didn't. Feeling a bit in the mood, she decided to go for a stroll outside the campus by herself.
Whenever Xiao Taohua looks back on this day in her later life, she will feel especially fortunate that she came to such a remote place by herself on a whim.
But she knew nothing at the moment, and simply followed the blue bricks under her feet.
After turning a corner in an alley, perhaps because of the sunlight, or perhaps for some other reason, Little Peach Blossom stopped walking.
She unconsciously covered her chest, where it was beating very fast.
His eyes were fixed on the front, as if he couldn't bear to look away even for a second.
"A deity?" Little Peach Blossom murmured, finally taking her first step.
But the immortal she saw swayed and collapsed in the dimly lit alley.
Little Peach Blossom didn't care about anything else and ran over quickly.
The immortal lay on the ground. Only when you get really close do you realize that he is a very handsome man, but he has a cold and aloof demeanor with a gentle and refined air. At this moment, the man is lying on the ground, breathing very weakly.
Little Peach Blossom no longer cared about being a deity or anything like that. First, she took the pulse, then she inserted acupuncture needles. Her movements were fluid and graceful, but a lot of sweat gathered on her forehead, and some even flowed down her cheeks.
The gods are in very poor health, extremely poor.
As Xiao Peichuan closed his eyes, he felt that his life might really be coming to an end. Well, life is short, only twenty years. He had experienced prosperity and illness, and that was enough.
He was smiling even before he closed his eyes.
It's just a pity about Xiao Da and Xiao Er who came out with him. I hope they won't feel burdened and will find him and return to their roots when the time comes.
Thinking this, he completely sank into a dark consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he was still somewhat incredulous, even wondering if he had arrived in the underworld, but the underworld was very quiet, as if no one was there.
Thinking this, Xiao Peichuan opened his eyes completely.
He looked at the woman in front of him with surprise.
The woman was very pretty, but her expression was not good.
Xiao Peichuan also felt the strangeness in his body and saw the needles stuck in his body.
This is……
"Thank you, young lady." Her voice was still weak and hoarse, but it was still very pleasant to hear.
Little Peach Blossom didn't reply; her entire focus was on saving people.
Xiao Peichuan didn't mind, and carefully felt the difference in himself.
They really are different.
When he fainted earlier, he thought he would never wake up, but now, things are different. It feels like something is moving through his body, and with each movement, he can feel the vitality within him, something he has never experienced before.
From childhood to adulthood, his health has always been a major problem for the clan. No matter who he consults, they all say the same thing—he won't live to be twenty.
But he survived.
Perhaps this was the end of his life.
So after his coming-of-age ceremony, he left the clan with Xiao Da and Xiao Er, wanting to see the outside world. This was the first place he came to, and he originally thought it would end here.
And now...
Xiao Peichuan put on a gentle smile and watched intently as the woman in front of him performed medical treatment and acupuncture, until Xiao Taohua looked up at him.
"Thank you, young lady," Xiao Peichuan said again.
“Your health is very poor,” Little Peach Blossom said.
"Yes, I know." He seemed very calm about his impending death. After all, he had been struggling to survive since he was a child, so he was content with every day he lived. He had only acted recklessly this time and run away to the capital, which was thousands of miles away from his hometown.
He might die here.
He had considered all possible outcomes, but he never imagined that he could meet the girl in front of him.
This girl is amazing.
Just the acupuncture made him feel much better.
However, Xiao Peichuan never had such a delusion as to be cured.
"You shouldn't have run around like that," Little Peach Blossom said accusingly.
Running around like that is dangerous.
"I know," Xiao Peichuan said with a smile.
Little Peach Blossom was a little angry: "Stop laughing, aren't you in pain?" Your body is so weak, you're almost at your last gasp, how can you still laugh in this condition?
"I'm used to it. Thank you for your concern, young lady."
"What's your name?" Little Peach Blossom asked.
“Xiao Peichuan, grass-soothing Xiao, planting and cultivating, the character 伝 with the single person radical and the character 云.”
"My name is Lin Xiaotao, but everyone calls me Xiaotaohua."
"A very nice name, Little Peach Blossom."
"Hmm." Little Peach Blossom was still in a bad mood because the person in front of her was really difficult to treat, and she wasn't confident in her ability to cure him.
"Is the young lady a doctor?" Xiao Peichuan changed the subject when he saw that Xiao Taohua was in a bad mood.
"I am a student at Kyoto University."
"A college student, huh? That's impressive," Xiao Peichuan said with a smile.
"And you? Are you a college student too?"
"No, I've never been to school, I was only taught at home." It's impossible for him to go to school given his physical condition.
Little Peach Blossom thought for a moment and said, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Xiao Peichuan smiled and shook his head: "I've already troubled you. It's getting late, you should go back soon." Xiao Peichuan felt it wasn't safe to leave a young girl in this alley, and besides, he was a weak man who would only be a burden to the girl if anything happened.
"It's okay, I'll take you home."
"My family will come looking for me."
"I want to take you back," Little Peach Blossom insisted.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Xiao Peichuan had no choice but to agree. After all, she was his savior. Besides, he could tell that continuing the stalemate would be a waste of time; the girl seemed to be a very serious person.
Hooray! The male lead has arrived! He's a refined and gentle gentleman, but he's in poor health. No worries, though, the female lead's medical skills are off the charts. Love at first sight is basically just lust at first sight, cough cough.
