Chapter 66
On the other side, Zhou Chengze, on his way back to the dormitory, saw a young couple kissing downstairs, but he never looked at them.
Whether it's the boys' dormitory or the girls' dormitory, there will always be couples kissing downstairs at night.
He was somewhat shocked when he first saw it, but now he's used to it.
As he passed them, Zhou Chengze consciously quickened his pace. He adhered to the principle of not looking at what was improper and did not look at them, but his peripheral vision still unconsciously caught a glimpse of their faces.
Both men and women had exquisite profiles, but he wasn't one to look at beautiful women. It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of a small mole on the woman's earlobe that he slowly stopped and turned around to look at the two who were kissing.
Zhou Chengze's eyes were lifeless, as if they had completely lost focus, but when he looked at the two of them, his gaze was fixed on the scene before him...
Under the cherry blossom tree, a handsome man and a beautiful woman embraced each other. They didn't kiss again, but instead held each other's necks together.
Zhou Chengze stood on the steps, looking at the two people under the tree, as if he had given up completely, his eyes gradually dimming.
Although he rushed over as soon as he woke up, he was still too late this time.
A gentle breeze blew in early spring, and cherry blossoms were blown from the treetops. The wind carried the cherry blossoms as they fell on the two of them, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting.
Their hair intertwined in the wind, and although it was just a hug, it was incredibly ambiguous.
Looking at the perfectly matched couple, handsome man and beautiful woman, Zhou Chengze smiled bitterly. They were so well-suited, why should he be the one to ruin their relationship?
Even if I told Xiang Wan that I had lived a lonely life because of her in my past life, what difference would it make? Would I ask her to give me an award?
Therefore, Zhou Chengze ultimately said nothing, only looking at the two of them under the cherry blossom tree, secretly saddened. He ultimately said nothing, nor did he want to say anything.
He wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, to get away from this heartbreaking place, but he collapsed to the ground from inhaling too much smoke, excessive drinking, and lack of sleep...

On the other side, a few hours earlier.
Ever since Xia Yueshen said that Chen Yan was very worried about her after the fire, Xiang Wan has been thinking about it constantly.
Even when she was in a meeting with the directors under her, she was somewhat distracted.
After Secretary Huang finished compiling the information, she grabbed a coat and drove to the school. She parked her car downstairs at the apartment building and headed straight for Chen Yan's dormitory.
Xiang Wan stood downstairs in the dormitory building and sent him a message asking him to come out for a moment.
She didn't have time to text him on her phone while she was driving, and thought it would be a long time before he came out, but a few minutes later she saw the boys' dormitory and a figure on the fourth-floor windowsill.
He seemed to have just finished showering and hadn't had time to dry his hair yet; the boy, with his hair still half-wet, was standing on the windowsill waving at her.
Xiang Wan looked up at the boy wearing a white tank top and black trousers, unable to suppress the smile in her eyes.
Because they were a little far away, she couldn't see very clearly, but she could see that Chen Yan didn't seem to have dried his hair. She took out her phone and typed another message in the chat box.
【Chen Ruilin, dry your hair first.】
Not long after, she received his reply: [Received, Xiang Shuhan.]
Upon seeing the message, Xiang Wan chuckled. She didn't know when it started, but Chen Yan liked to call her name back whenever she called his.
Moreover, he seemed quite insistent on having their names listed side by side.
Although Xiang Wan was puzzled, she also secretly enjoyed him calling her name.
She stood there in a daze for a while until she caught a glimpse of Chen Yan running towards her from downstairs in the dormitory building.
His hair was half-dry from the wind, and his bangs bounced as he ran, but unlike the white tank top I had seen on the windowsill earlier, he was wearing a white shirt over it.
The boy's muscular physique was hidden beneath his shirt, revealing only a section of his fair arm: "Xiang Shuhan, you were looking for me."
Xiang Wan looked at his smiling eyes and reached out her hand towards his head. She originally wanted to ruffle his hair, but he seemed to misunderstand and pressed his face close to her hand.
Her eyes darkened, and her gaze shifted down to his lips. Only when she saw his Adam's apple move slightly did she look up into his eyes.
His eyes and brows still looked aloof, yet they seemed to have been tainted by some kind of lust.
In the gentle breeze, Xiang Wan looked at the cherry blossom petals that had fallen on the boy's tousled hair. She tiptoed and picked one of the petals off his head, then held it in her palm for him to see.
However, the boy only glanced at the petals before his gaze remained fixed on her eyes. As if possessed, he abruptly asked, "Xiang Shuhan, may I kiss you?"
The boy was exceptionally handsome, and even the wind seemed shy, constantly blowing the fallen petals toward them.
Xiang Wan didn't say yes or no, but instead gave him a command: "Chen Ruilin, call me sister."
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but still obediently asked, "Sister, may I kiss you?"
Xiang Wan smiled, a hint of emotion flickering in her eyes, and gradually moved closer to him until their lips met.
She didn't close her eyes even when they were kissing, and even when he closed his eyes, she was watching his trembling eyelashes.
Feeling Chen Yan's somewhat disordered breathing, a sly glint flashed in Xiang Wan's eyes. She merely touched his lips lightly before straightening up.
She watched as he opened his eyes to look at her, his eyelashes lowered, and anyone could see his disappointment.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yan remained silent for a long time before looking down at her and asking, "Am I a terrible kisser?"
Hearing this, Xiang Wan chuckled and moved closer to him step by step until their chests were touching. She turned her face to his ear and whispered, "I like guys who are bad at kissing."
Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly, as if he had learned how to flirt from her: "Does sister like me like this?"
Xiang Wan looked at him with a half-smile, hugged him, and kissed his lower lip again: "I like you just the way you are."
A look of wild joy flashed in Chen Yan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it consciously: "How long will my sister like me?"
While waiting for an answer, he kept looking into her eyes, as if he wouldn't give up until he got the answer.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone passing by. Chen Yan didn't like others seeing Xiang Wan's face, so he pulled her into his arms.
Seeing that Xiang Wan remained silent, he urged her again. However, she paused for a moment when Chen Yan asked her how long she could like him.
If her affection had an expiration date, it would be until the day she died in her previous life.
She has five years left.
In other words, she only has five years left.
Xiang Wan was still lost in memories of her previous life when she heard someone shouting something not far away.
Chen Yan also noticed the unusual activity and glanced over in that direction.
"Hey classmate—hey classmate, what's wrong?"
What's wrong with him?
"I don't know, I don't know him. Could I have low blood sugar?"
"But his lips are so pale, could it be due to some kind of medical condition?"
Are there any medical schools?
"I'm a medical student, but I'm only a freshman. I haven't performed CPR on a living person yet."
"I'm here. I'm a third-year medical student."
When the crowd heard that someone was from the medical school, they all tacitly made way for her so that she could walk through smoothly.
Xiang Wan glanced at the crowd and saw that some students had fainted, but because they were surrounded by people, they couldn't see the person who had fallen.
Outsiders need to register to enter the school, so they should also be students of Beiyi University.
He was surrounded by a crowd, someone called for emergency help, and medical students were performing CPR on him.
Neither of them were the type to join in the fun, and since someone had already helped him, they didn't go over to cause trouble. Instead, they walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.
"Chen Yan, let's go."
"good."
Xiang Wan was about to return to the library to continue writing her thesis when she arrived at the library entrance. Just as she was about to leave, Chen Yan grabbed her wrist: "Xiang Shuhan, see you at home tonight."
Because of the fire that occurred in Xiang Guan's apartment, she will have to stay at home for a while, and her driver, Lao Zhang, will still take her to and from school as before.
The two had just kissed and were about to part. Chen Yan felt a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to stop Xiang Wan because he was afraid of being annoyed, so he didn't dare to ask her to stay.
He felt there was plenty of time, so he just smiled at Xiang Wan and said, "See you tonight."
For Xiang Wan, this kiss didn't really mean anything; it was just an intimate moment of deep affection.
Therefore, unlike Chen Yan who was reluctant to part, when she said "see you tonight," she simply smiled at him and reached out to touch the top of his head: "See you tonight."
After taking Xiang Wan to the library, Chen Yan returned to his dormitory.
He originally intended to discuss the program with Ni Zhen and the others, but as he walked past the dormitory building, he saw Zhou Chengze being taken away in an ambulance while unconscious...
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment. Recalling the dense crowd he had just seen, he guessed that the person who had fallen was Zhou Chengze.
The ambulance had arrived, and the accompanying doctor was asking the students in the crowd if anyone knew the patient, but everyone said they didn't.
When they arrived at the hospital, at least one person was needed to accompany them, but no one in the crowd recognized Zhou Chengze, and because they didn't know his major or grade, they couldn't find out who his counselor was.
Just as things were at a stalemate, the girl who had just performed CPR on Zhou Chengze raised her hand and said that she didn't have class in the afternoon and could accompany him to the hospital.
The accompanying doctor breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let her get into the car when Chen Yan suddenly appeared and interrupted him: "Hello, I am his friend. I'm coming to the hospital with you."
Zhou Chengze had already been lifted onto a stretcher and put into an ambulance. Chen Yan got into the ambulance as well, and didn't forget to thank the girl on Zhou Chengze's behalf.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that someone recognized the patient. She casually said "You're welcome" to him, picked up her backpack from the ground, and walked away in the other direction.
In the ambulance, Chen Yan looked at Zhou Chengze, who was already hooked up to an IV drip, and made a phone call to Xiang Wan.
On the other end of the phone, Xiang Wan had just found a seat in the library when she received his call. She guessed that the person who had just collapsed was Zhou Chengze.
She frowned, said she'd be right there, and called Zhou Xinyi again on her way to the hospital.
"Hello? Is this Zhou Xinyi? This is Xiang Wan."
