Chapter 135: A Few Needles [Update 1]
After the matter at the base was concluded, Ruan Xi returned to school, and He Ziqian took Qi Yuhan back to the central base.
As soon as Ruan Xi returned to school, he was immediately surrounded by his classmates, and even Dean Wan couldn't get close to him.
"Ruan Xi, are you okay? Why are you left alone?"
"Ruan Xi and the others didn't give you any trouble, did they? Don't be afraid, my family does have some connections!"
"Ruan Xi, Ruan Xi, is our commander-in-chief okay? It seems to me that those doctors are just trying to cause trouble..."
The crowd surrounded Ruan Xi like a tide, asking all kinds of questions at once. Ruan Xi felt a headache and quickly reached out to stop them.
"stop!"
This sudden shout finally stopped the students' chattering. All eyes were focused on Ruan Xi like a flash of light. Ruan Xi felt like he was being pierced like a sieve and felt extremely helpless.
Gossip is truly human nature, a nature ingrained in our bones that cannot be changed.
"I'm fine, the commander-in-chief is fine too, the problem has been resolved, but how it was resolved is confidential, I can't tell you, understand?" Ruan Xi answered concisely, leaving everyone stunned. Then, while everyone was stunned, Ruan Xi quickly got out of the crowd, and under the protection of Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong, rushed out of the encirclement.
Finally, he was caught red-handed by Dean Wan in the woods near the cafeteria.
After seeing the person's face clearly, Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and his entire body relaxed from the tense state. He said with emotion: "Dean, it's a good thing you came."
If he were surrounded by those classmates who were keen on gossip again, he really wouldn't be able to cope with it. It gives him a headache just thinking about it!
"So you're afraid of something too. It's rare to see you looking so miserable." Wan Shujie patted Ruan Xi's shoulder with amusement, then continued, "Alright, if you go back to the dormitory today, you'll be walking into a tiger's mouth. Forget about sleeping tonight. Come back with me. The old man has been nagging you for a long time and is so worried that he wants to call the police. No matter how much I try to persuade him, he's forced you to show up in person."
Thinking about this pair of friends who could just pass for grandparents and grandchildren, Wan Shujie was a little amused, but he was also quite envious of the friendship between them.
True friendship has no conditions or restrictions.
"Grandpa Wan, how is your health lately?" Hearing this, Ruan Xi had no hesitation and immediately followed Wan Shujie to the parking lot reserved for faculty and staff. They finally left the school safely, which made Ruan Xi unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
He really couldn't handle this kind of treatment where everyone was the center of attention. He hoped that the gossip spirits of his classmates could be completely burned out tonight, or at least consumed to the maximum extent. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to imagine what kind of lively environment he would have to study in for the next period of time.
This is definitely not what he wants.
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about you. I'm a little worried." Wan Shujie answered Ruan Xi's questions while driving. The two chatted about all sorts of things and from time to time they would take Grandpa Wan out for a walk. Unknowingly, Ruan Xi had a pretty good idea of Grandpa Wan's situation during the time he was away from the Imperial Capital Star.
"Well, Grandpa Wan has a very good health. As long as he takes care of himself, he won't easily get sick or in big trouble." Ruan Xi's words sounded a bit blunt, but Wan Shujie was very happy to hear them, and he also trusted him inexplicably.
Ruan Xi has this almost magical power of persuasion.
"I like to hear that."
The two of them arrived at their destination, chatting and laughing all the way. When Ruan Xi got out of the car, he saw that it was the villa that Grandpa Wan had brought him to when he first arrived at the Imperial Capital Star. When the familiar plantation came into view, Ruan Xi unconsciously let out a sigh.
"I haven't been here for a long time." I still miss it a little!
Just as he was sighing, a familiar figure walked out of the house. The moment he saw Ruan Xi, the man was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly ran towards Ruan Xi.
"Grandpa Wan!" The man who came was none other than Old Man Wan. Ruan Xi saw that he was running quite fast and quickly stepped forward to hold him back. "Grandpa, please slow down. Why are you running so fast? I'm right here. I won't disappear!"
Ruan Xi persuaded him gently, helped Mr. Wan back into the house, and took his pulse.
"Well, Grandpa Wan is in good health recently except for his high blood pressure." Moreover, this high blood pressure is most likely caused by excessive emotional fluctuations.
"Hehehe... Ruan Xi, you are really amazing. You can see it right away." As soon as Ruan Xi came back, Mr. Wan became refreshed. He directly ignored his eldest son and pulled Ruan Xi to chat with him until the end of time, which made Wan Shujie laugh.
But the old man couldn't help being happy!
There was nothing Wan Shujie could do, he could only hold his nose and let his students "climb" over his head and act wildly.
That night, Ruan Xi stayed overnight in Mr. Wan's villa. She also worked in the plantation until midnight. Before going to bed, she did not forget to call her boyfriend.
"Where?"
"I'm here with Grandpa Wan. I've been away for so long and haven't sent him a single message. He's been very worried about me. I came here to keep him company and comfort him. By the way, I'll have some fun on his plantation."
Ruan Xi's play is naturally not play in the conventional sense. When it comes to planting, Ruan Xi is now very professional. The tree and plant illustrations provide him with new knowledge from time to time. From the beginning, he has been moving towards the high-tech direction and has never gone astray.
"Is there any trouble at school?" He Ziqian's concern has always been meticulous, and he accidentally hit Ruan Xi's sore spot.
"Forget about school, everyone is gossiping about me like crazy, wishing they could dig up all our secrets!" Ruan Xi said unhappily, but he knew in his heart that the feasibility of this matter was too low and there was no possibility of doing it at all.
"Is there something about me?" There was a hint of surprise in He Ziqian's words, but what was more obvious was his smile. Ruan Xi caught it immediately and unconsciously curled up the corners of her lips slightly.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you hold a very high status among the freshmen. Everyone cares deeply about you!"
"Then thank them on my behalf." He Ziqian's answer was also quite bachelor-like. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle, which made Ruan Xi laugh too.
"Have you arranged Mr. Qi's treatment? Regardless of how many classes he has, I basically have classes during the day. Let's just schedule his treatment at night. I also have to process the Golden Sun Fruit I just harvested these past few days. It's a good thing for treating genetic diseases, but Mr. Qi's physique can't withstand too strong a drug for now. We have to take it slow. If we rush it, it could cost him his life."
Ruan Xi did not say this directly before, but chose to wait until everything was settled before saying it, so as to prevent anyone from dropping out of school.
From the first moment he saw Qi Yuhan, he knew that he was a man of strong will, and no matter what he did, he would never give up halfway.
However, just because Qi Yuhan wouldn't do that doesn't mean that other people around him wouldn't. For example, the two bodyguards who have been guarding him closely would not be able to remain relaxed if they saw with their own eyes the pain Qi Yuhan is going through during his treatment.
"So serious?" He Ziqian, like everyone else, thought that what Ruan Xi had said at the military training base was the closest to reality. Unexpectedly, it could be even more painful.
"I believe Mr. Qi knows for sure that staying alive is his greatest pursuit in life so far. No one has the right to stop him from achieving his goal under any pretext.
"I will tell them the truth about the situation, and it's up to them to decide what to do." Anyway, He Ziqian would never let those bad emotions have the chance to spread to Ruan Xi.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Ruan Xi had known that this would be the result, and he should be happy and refreshed. On the virtual screen, he smiled brightly, which made He Ziqian feel soft all over.
"I'll pick you up from get out of class tomorrow and take you to my house. I'll help you process the Golden Sun Fruit." After all, the Golden Sun Fruit was such a rare treasure that He Ziqian had the opportunity to see it in person thanks to Ruan Xi. Others didn't have this chance.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the North Gate." The North Gate was right on He Ziqian's route home, so he could just go there and leave without having to worry about being blocked by the gossiping crowd due to accidents.
The cultivation of the Golden Sun Fruit has been going smoothly. It was planted in Grandpa Wan's plantation. During the time when he was away from the Imperial Capital Star, the old man was very concerned about the plants planted by Ruan Xi and did not dare to be careless at all. Among them, the most important one was the Golden Sun Fruit. However, this kind of good growth in the ordinary sense could not make the Golden Sun Fruit seedlings bloom and bear fruit smoothly. It was not until Ruan Xi came back and continued to input his wood energy that the Golden Sun Fruit seedlings truly came to life.
In the eyes of Mr. Wan, this scene was like a miracle, but Mr. Du was a very tight-lipped person. He didn't tell anyone, even his own son who wanted to go into his plantation to take a look, but he didn't let him. This made Wan Shujie feel a little amused and helpless.
His father is the typical example of someone who becomes younger as he gets older. His temperament is becoming more and more childish, and he does whatever he wants.
"Ruan Xi, um...how about we go take another look at that sapling? Is it afraid of the dark..." Old Master Wan said something shocking. To put it bluntly, he couldn't sleep because he was thinking about something, so he wanted to make sure Ruan Xi couldn't sleep either.
Moreover, the content of these words is...
"Grandpa Wan, do you think a plant can be afraid of the dark? If it is really afraid of the dark, wouldn't it dare to take root in the soil?" After all, there is no place darker than underground.
"That's true..."
Old Master Wan suddenly realized something, and Ruan Xi quickly got out of bed, walked to the door, supported the old man, and sent him back to his own room. He considerately made all the preparations before going to bed, and then sat down on the small stool in front of the bed. With a swish, he threw away the silver needle bag he was carrying.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Wan was a little confused and couldn't figure it out.
"I'll give you a few injections to relax your nerves, and you'll fall asleep naturally."
Insomnia? It’s easy to cure!
