Chapter 60: High School Campus Goddess

Wang Jia deliberately counted on her fingers in front of Xin Chanxi: one day... today is the sixth day.

"Xin Chanxi, you've only known him for six days."

Xin Chanxi still hadn't settled in her heart whether Wang Chuan had accepted her as his girlfriend.

After all, she hadn't confessed to Wang Chuan, and he hadn't confessed to her.

She looked up and asked: "Sister Wang Jia, can you tell me about Wang Chuan?"

Inside Wang Jia's mind: 'I, on the morning of June 1st, watched Wang Chuan arrive for his internship in a sister's Porsche; that night he didn't even notice me. On the evening of June 2nd, he heroically saved Pei Nanli.'

'I can't say any of this. Keeping a friend's secret is the bare minimum of morality.'

Wang Jia spoke: "I arrived a few days earlier than you, but I'm not close to him either."

"Then how come Wang Chuan picked you up to learn driving? I thought you two were close?" Xin Chanxi asked, puzzled.

"Luo De and I are both from Mingzhou Medical College. He asked me along when he asked Luo De."

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Xin Chanxi checked the time—it was almost 8:30—and stood up to leave.

Wang Jia watched Xin Chanxi's retreating back: "Wang Chuan, this nominal sister of mine hasn't betrayed you."

"What will happen when Pei Nanli meets Xin Chanxi?"

Curiosity filled Wang Jia's heart.

At the entrance of Mingzhou First Hospital, Xin Chanxi paced back and forth, frequently checking her mobile phone.

"Xin Chanxi, aren't you going home yet?"

Wang Chuan had noticed it was 8:30 and hadn't seen Xin Chanxi arrive. He left the Emergency Department to look for her and spotted her from afar near the entrance.

Seeing Wang Chuan approach, Xin Chanxi ran over and said: "Wang Chuan, I'm sorry. I was just waiting a few more minutes—it might have been traffic."

Ding ling ling, her mobile phone screen lit up. She stepped aside and whispered: "Uncle Han, it's almost 8:30—why hasn't he arrived yet?"

After Xin Chanxi hung up, she turned around, tears swirling in her eyes: "Wang Chuan, that patient won't come."

"I'm sorry!"

As soon as she spoke, she burst into tears and crouched on the ground.

Many passersby outside the hospital entrance stopped to wonder what had happened between the boy and girl over there.

At this moment, Wang Chuan wasn't wearing a White Coat; some people pointed at him.

Wang Chuan shook his head, hurried across the street to a small shop, returned quickly, and extended his hand toward the crouching Xin Chanxi: "Xin Chanxi, can you tell me what happened?"

"If you don't get up, these passersby will think I'm a bad guy who bullied you and made you cry."

Hearing someone call Wang Chuan a bad guy, Xin Chanxi forced back her tears, stood up, and pouted: "I'm sorry, Wang Chuan. I spoke out of turn."

"You wouldn't be this heartbroken just because the patient didn't show up."

"You don't think I'm a liar, do you?" Xin Chanxi asked, eyes red.

Wang Chuan comforted her: "Of course not! Tonight, I still have more patients than I can handle."

He reached out and placed her baseball cap on his own head: "You give me your cap to block the sun, and I'll give you a Guangming Ice Brick. I heard Mingzhou's Ice Bricks are salty—try one."

Xin Chanxi took the Ice Brick, took a small bite: "Wang Chuan, you're lying—it's sweet."

"Oh, so it's not made from Xin Chanxi's tears after all."

Wang Chuan smiled, fanning the air with his hand: "Ugh, standing outside is killing me. Come with me to the Emergency Department and get some air conditioning."

Xin Chanxi wiped her tears and followed Wang Chuan: "Wang Chuan, let me tell you why the patient didn't come."

Earlier that day, Xin Chanxi had asked her father's Deputy General Manager, Han Shiyu, to check the construction sites for any newly injured workers—or those needing dressing changes or Suture Removal—and send them all to Mingzhou First Hospital's Emergency Department.

All of them were to be brought to the Emergency Department.

When Han Shiyu received the call, his first thought was: Is Mingzhou First Hospital offering discounts on medical care?

Only when Xin Chanxi explained that a good friend at Mingzhou First Hospital's Emergency Department needed patients did he understand: the young lady was helping someone recruit patients.

Han Shiyu was a distant relative of Xin Chanxi's mother; he dared not neglect the young lady's request and immediately ordered his subordinates to act.

By evening, the results came back: no workers needed Emergency Department care that day.

Xin Chanxi was deeply disappointed by the result.

A while later, Han Shiyu called Xin Chanxi: "Xiao, there are no construction sites in Mingzhou. But this evening, a worker was injured at a site in Fengye County—I've arranged to send him to Mingzhou First Hospital."

As Xin Chanxi recounted this, Wang Chuan interrupted: "Fengye County is two hours away from Mingzhou First Hospital even if you drive hard—that's why it's 8:30."

"Just now, did your Uncle Han call to say the worker was treated nearby?"

Xin Chanxi nodded: "Yes."

"Your Uncle Han did the right thing. But I received your kindness, Xin Chanxi."

Saying this, Wang Chuan stopped walking and spoke slowly: "I was genuinely worried you'd call your third uncle to start a fight, just so someone would need Emergency Suturing."

"Aren't you the righteous one? If you did that, you'd betray your own principles."

"How could I ever do something like that!" Xin Chanxi immediately replied, head held high.

Wang Chuan stopped, smiled, and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Doctor Wang, hello—thank you for the Suturing!" Sun Ying, supported by her father, walked out of the Emergency Department.

No sooner had she spoken than Sun Ying's gaze shifted and she called out: "Xiao! It's you!"

"Wang Chuan, this is Sun Ying—my classmate," Xin Chanxi introduced.

Wang Chuan then learned from their conversation that Sun Ying and Xin Chanxi were classmates.

Sun Ying had switched to becoming an Art Student because she couldn't keep up academically; a teacher had seen her and said she had a talent for dance.

From their expressions, they weren't close friends—just ordinary classmates.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Ying got into a taxi with her father.

She took out her mobile phone, typed a few lines, then quickly deleted them.

Her heart hesitated.

Xin Chanxi was a top student at Mingzhou No. 3 Middle School; the Homeroom Teacher had said she was at least bound for Fudan or Jiaotong, and if she performed well, Qingbei wasn't out of the question.

Her father ran a Real Estate company.

With excellent grades, a wealthy family, and stunning beauty, she was the goddess of high school campus.

With poor grades and an ordinary family, all she earned was the title of campus beauty.

Just now, seeing her intimate gestures with Wang Chuan the Doctor, it felt like a romantic relationship—should she spread this explosive news?

This would be like dropping an atomic bomb on the heads of all those who secretly or openly loved Xin Chanxi in high school.

Never mind, I won't say anything today.

When the class holds its high school graduation dinner in a few days, I'll reveal it and deliver a crushing blow to Tang Ao.

Tang Ao, this Second Generation, was the first to openly court Xin Chanxi in high school.

The Tang Family and Xin Family had some business dealings; Tang Ao never acted too boldly at school, so Xin Chanxi naturally never told her father about it.

Dum dum—her Mobile Phone rang; she saw a message from Cai Yueming.

"Sun Ying, do you know if Xin Chanxi has recently started dating someone—tall and handsome?"
