Chapter 92: Settled in a Single Sentence

Xu Fengyuan blocked the path of Chen Che and the others, gazing at Chen Che with a sincere expression.

"Classmate, a bet is a bet; you mustn't go back on your word."

Li Qingyan thought Xu Fengyuan couldn't afford to lose and was planning to stir up trouble, so she spoke up to remind him.

Xu Fengyuan shook his head and said, "Professor Li, you've misunderstood; I can afford to lose. Moreover, I accept it—thoroughly and completely. Even Professor Yuan Nansen is filled with admiration for Mr. Chen, so I naturally know my own limitations. Today's contest with Mr. Chen was purely showing off before an expert."

Xu Fengyuan's expression was sincere, and everything he said was from the heart; his admiration for Chen Che was genuine.

The reagent bottle with safety risks, the perfect detoxification, the effortless refinement of the chemical formula—he knew what any one of these things meant, even taken individually.

Therefore, he felt his loss was not unjust, and he was convinced and impressed!

Chen Che was amused by Xu Fengyuan's earnest look and asked, "Then what do you want to say to me?"

Xu Fengyuan bowed deeply to Chen Che: "Mr. Chen, I am sorry. I was impulsive before and should not have been disrespectful to you. Now that I know you are a true Master, I apologize for my previous recklessness!"

"I apologize to you, I am sorry!"

Li Haotian and Chen Yifei also bowed in apology.

Chen Che and Li Qingyan looked at each other and smiled: "No need to apologize. Study hard; the country needs talents like you."

"Mr. Chen, the last thing I want to say is that you are excellent; only a man like you is worthy of Professor Li!"

Xu Fengyuan's expression was both sorrowful and relieved, appearing highly conflicted and twisted. "Professor Li is the goddess I fell in love with at first sight. I originally would not allow any man more mediocre than her to defile her, myself included, of course. But if it is you, I am relieved to entrust the goddess to you!"

"Uh..."

Xu Fengyuan's words were impassioned; Li Haotian and Chen Yifei felt a deep resonance and were on the verge of tears.

However, Chen Che and the others felt completely speechless; it just felt so 'chuunibyou' and incredibly awkward—they felt terrible!

Chen Che patted Xu Fengyuan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Classmate, you are also excellent. Study hard and watch fewer 'chuunibyou' anime and novels. I have high hopes for you!"

Hearing Chen Che say this, Xu Fengyuan was filled with excitement, like a new recruit recognized and entrusted with a heavy responsibility by a general.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, I will definitely study hard and pursue your footsteps with perseverance!"

Xu Fengyuan's expression was as determined as a warrior about to depart on a one-way mission.

Chen Che mimicked his manner, nodded with a hum, and then pulled Li Qingyan to leave the laboratory quickly.

Ma Zijun, his sister, and Qian Rongrong also followed quickly.

After Chen Che and the others left, only the three brothers of Xu Fengyuan remained in the laboratory, and they started a small meeting again.

"I never imagined Mr. Chen was such an excellent man! I have decided: from now on, Mr. Chen is my lifelong goal for struggle; I will always pursue his back!"

"A man like Mr. Chen is unique. Ordinary people like us probably couldn't even catch up to his heels in a lifetime!"

"Sigh, you guys only know how to care about following Mr. Chen's footsteps. Professor Li, my goddess at first sight! I've lost contact before I even started dating!"

Chen Yifei let out a long howl toward the sky, stamping his feet and beating his chest: "Why wasn't it me?! Why am I not a medical genius?! Why isn't the goddess mine?! Ah!!! I hate it, I'm so envious!!"

Xu Fengyuan and Li Haotian were also dejected, almost instantly shifting from their worship of Chen Che to being immersed in the sorrow of losing the goddess.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, even without Mr. Chen, we couldn't reach high enough for Professor Li. Besides, we still have President Qian!"

Li Haotian lifted his head, and his eyes regained their luster.

"Tch, as if we could reach high enough for Goddess Qian!"

Chen Yifei remained a pessimist; he took out his phone to browse the school forum, attempting to distract himself and alleviate the sorrow in his heart.

"Haotian is right. The goddess is an existence that can only be viewed from afar and not profaned; she is our spiritual pillar!

When it comes down to it, Professor Li is only here at the school for an exchange, but President Qian is one of our own. As long as she comes to school, we can see her, and she is in the rising phase of her career; we don't need to worry about her considering a partner in the short term!"

Xu Fengyuan said slowly, comforting himself as well as his two companions.

"Oh my god! Look at the school forum and the confession wall, everyone!"

Chen Yifei was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly screamed.

"What are you doing, making such a fuss!"

Xu Fengyuan and Li Haotian were startled by him; they complained, but still took out their phones to open the school forum.

There was a pinned post on the forum, and the click count was almost exploding!

The two opened the post, and inside was exactly the video of Qian Rongrong expressing her unilateral love for Chen Che.

Xu Fengyuan, Li Haotian, and Chen Yifei froze in place, their lips trembling, and they slowly looked up with faces full of shock.

At this moment, a part of their hearts collapsed!

The instant their gazes met, they let out a sharp, piercing shriek in unison!

"NO!!!!!"

…………

Chen Che's group, led by Qian Rongrong, returned to the reception room.

Chen Che sat on the sofa, and Li Qingyan hugged his arm, sitting close to him, looking as inseparable as a couple in the heat of romance.

Chen Che struggled a few times, but it had no effect, so he just let her be.

"Make arrangements; don't let today's events spread outside the school."

Chen Che said to Qian Rongrong.

"Yes."

Qian Rongrong looked at the intimate appearance of the two, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. Thinking of the gap in their status, a faint trace of sorrow flashed across her pretty face.

Li Qingyan hit Chen Che and pouted: "Why can't it spread? Is it very embarrassing to have rumors with me?"

"Your identity is special, and I haven't figured out the identity of the enemy yet; I can't be too flashy and alert the enemy."

Chen Che explained.

"Oh, then that's fine." Li Qingyan smiled playfully.

Watching the two flirting, Ma Menghan couldn't sit still. She looked at Ma Zijun, signaling the latter to get to the point quickly.

Ma Zijun stood up and bowed, getting straight to the point: "Divine Doctor Li, I am Ma Zijun of the Jinling Ma Family. My father has contracted a strange illness and hasn't been able to get out of bed for several months. I have searched for famous doctors all over the world with no results. So, I specifically came to invite you to Jinling to treat my father!"

"If you can cure my father, the Ma Family will surely spare nothing to repay you with all our might!"

Ma Zijun's words were earnest, his eyes filled with pleading and anticipation.

Li Qingyan shook her head, resting on Chen Che's shoulder, and said lazily, "Not going, not interested."

Ma Zijun's expression shifted, and he continued to beg, "Divine Doctor Li, a healer has a benevolent heart; please reconsider. Under heaven, I fear only you can treat my father's illness."

Ma Zijun's voice was low and soft, carrying a trace of trembling that revealed his inner tension and unease; other than begging, he had no other way.

A person like Li Qingyan lacked for nothing, and any vulgar reward seemed pale and powerless; if one could not discover what interested her, one could only rely on sincerity to move her.

Li Qingyan lifted her head, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "I've thought about it, still not interested!"

Hearing this, Ma Zijun and Ma Menghan's expressions both changed, their brows filled with the sorrow and despair of dashed hopes.

Ma Menghan twisted her fingers, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears; she looked toward Chen Che, seeking help with tear-filled eyes.

Chen Che gently squeezed the hand he had around Li Qingyan's waist and said, "Great Divine Doctor Li, since they've put it that way, just help them out; besides, saving the dying and healing the wounded is your duty as a doctor anyway."

"That makes sense, actually."

Li Qingyan beamed, "Since my boyfriend has said so, then your father's illness is on me."

Ma Zijun, Ma Menghan, and Qian Rongrong were all stunned at once, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Ma Zijun had begged humbly and exhausted his words without being able to make this young lady Li Qingyan change her mind, yet when it came to Chen Che, a casual sentence solved it!?
