Chapter 270: Chapter 269, The Goddess Xu Wendong Has a Crush On

Lin Zhonghai’s old face turned red.

He just wanted to make peace, never expecting that it would stir up a hornet’s nest, or that so many people would come forward to defend Xu Wendong’s innocence!

He thought of a saying, ”Righteousness draws much assistance, unrighteousness finds little.”

Unfortunately, he realized it too late.

With an awkward expression, he said, ”This student is no longer part of our university, and his previous punishment record has been sealed. But don’t worry, we will definitely find his punishment record!”

He planned to use the strategy of delay.

But clearly, the students from other departments present didn’t want to give him that chance.

”If we don’t see our brother’s punishment record today, we won’t mind putting this incident online. If that happens, your Traditional Chinese Medicine department will become famous!”

”But not because of your delicious cafeteria food, but because of your officials protecting each other and bullying people. If that’s the case, who would dare to apply to your lousy school?”

Upon hearing this.

Lin Zhonghai felt a sharp trembling in his heart.

If things really blew up online, it would certainly spark a lot of negative news.

Just when he was at a loss.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Although I can’t produce Xu Wendong’s punishment record, I can pretend to faint!

If I’m unconscious, what can they do to me?

He silently praised himself, rolled his eyes, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

???

???

Many people looked surprised, not expecting a department’s publicity director to have such weak stress resistance, fainting over such a minor incident.

Two other staff members from the publicity department looked panicked, immediately taking out their phones to call an ambulance.

But a student snatched it away from them.

The other party was furious, ”What are you doing? Director Lin is already unconscious; we have to take him to the hospital for treatment. If something happens, can you bear the consequences?”

”Look at you being so nervous, is he your dad?” The student was not having it: ”Let me tell you, in such a situation, it’s understandable to call, but remember, there are two departments in the world where you can’t call when something like this happens.”

”One is the Western Medicine department, the other is the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.”

”We ourselves study medicine; if someone faints and we call an ambulance, is that calling? That’s slapping our own face!”

As soon as he said this.

The restaurant erupted in hearty laughter.

It was true.

What he said made a lot of sense.

And it was irrefutable.

”Come, I’ll help Director Lin.” A young man quickly stepped forward, vigorously pinching the philtrum point on Lin Zhonghai, as pinching this acupuncture point could awaken a fainted person.

But...

Lin Zhonghai didn’t wake up.

Even writhing in pain didn’t make him open his eyes.

Because he didn’t know how to face these people once awake, the best option was to play dead!

”Pinching the philtrum didn’t work, let me give Director Lin a few needles!” Another student from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department came over, taking out silver needles and successively inserting them into Lin Zhonghai.

His hand shook, the needle piercing deeply into Lin’s flesh, and he exclaimed, apologetically, ”Oops, sorry, wrong acupuncture point.”

”No worries, we’re all students. It’s understandable to miss a point, and you’re trying to help. Even if Director Lin wakes up, he won’t blame you.”

The atmosphere on the scene grew increasingly lively, hearty laughter echoing throughout the restaurant.

Because everyone could see clearly.

Xu Wendong was the innocent one in this case.

He was wrongly accused.

A scapegoat for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to escape public opinion.

But he was a good person, and his classmates didn’t want to see him suffer injustice, so they treated Lin Zhonghai this way.

And Lin Zhonghai’s fainting was indeed an act, an act executed with difficulty.

If you don’t believe it.

Look at him, his fists are tightly clenched...

Meanwhile, Chen Qiaomu sat beside Xu Wendong, placed his lunch tray down, picked up a palm-sized piece of braised pork, and placed it in front of Xu Wendong, speaking softly, ”My cousin runs a bar in the provincial capital. They’re looking for part-time workers. If you work there, you might earn enough to pay your tuition!”

Xu Wendong thanked him, then said, ”But, I’m no longer a student in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.”

Chen Qiaomu quietly ate her lunch, her delicate face showing no emotion, ”Although you have already gone through the withdrawal formalities, today’s event has blown up. The school will definitely give you justice.”

”You can come back anytime you want.”

”You two chat, I’ll go help with the rescue.” Huang Pangzi chuckled, not wanting to keep being the third wheel, because he knew that both Xu Wendong and Chen Qiaomu had feelings for each other.

After all.

They used to often attend evening self-study sessions in the same room.

And would often appear in the same library, in the same area.

”Thank you for your kindness, but... I’m afraid I can’t adapt to campus life anymore!” Xu Wendong lowered his head, a trace of painful struggle flashing in his eyes.

University students!

Just the term conjured up images of carefree university life.

But his temperament and life had already undergone earth-shattering changes during this time.

Campus life was certainly easy and comfortable.

But having grown accustomed to the intrigues and bloody storms of the outside world, he could no longer linger in this place.

Chen Qiaomu: ”I know you’ve suffered a lot, but we can’t be defeated by life’s hardships. We may not be able to change our fate, but we can face hardships with a smile, grow through them, and tell adversity: ’To hell with you!’”

She added, ”That’s something you once told me!”

”Have you forgotten?”

Xu Wendong forced a smile, ”Of course not.”

The girl raised her head, her clear, bright eyes glistening with tears, looking utterly helpless, ”Then why won’t you come back?”

”Don’t you know there are many people who miss you?”

Xu Wendong felt a fierce tremor in his heart.

He always knew Chen Qiaomu’s feelings.

Although he also had feelings for her.

But he knew his own identity.

Just a poor boy from the countryside, still not worthy of her even after graduation.

But now.

With his ability, he could completely make up for a humble background.

However.

He didn’t know how to face her, how to face the faint affections from his university days, and the girl he had a crush on.

After all.

He was a proper scoundrel!

Just then, the girl mustered up her courage and asked him a particularly sharp question, ”If I said I missed you and hope you come back, would you do it?”

Xu Wendong was at a loss for words. He did want to come back, to be with her.

But even if his abilities could make up for his humble background, his scoundrel nature didn’t deserve this innocent and lively woman!

Just when Xu Wendong didn’t know what to do, a clear sound of bones breaking suddenly came from the distance, accompanied by Lin Zhonghai’s scream...

At the same time, Huang Pangzi’s apologetic voice rang out, ”Sorry, Director Lin, I didn’t mean to break your rib. But you’ve regained consciousness from your coma now, shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
