Chapter 84: Such Coincidences Do Exist in This World

There couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence in this world, could there?

Jiang Mohe dared not let his thoughts wander further, but still he asked, “Does he have another name?”

Xianyu Jing thought for a moment. “My brother doesn’t have another name. But he does have a medical alias—he’s called ‘Xiang Sheng.’”

Xiang Sheng—bringing hope of life to patients, that was his aspiration!

“Yu Xiangsheng, you lousy doctor who only knows how to wave a scalpel around, and you dare challenge me!”

[You should be grateful that I still hold a scalpel in my hand, and I dislike it being tainted with unclean blood.]

“Yu Xiangsheng, is my leg going to be crippled?”

[If you’re asking me, then it won’t be.]

“Yu Xiangsheng, why would you leave a perfectly good place and come to this war-torn country for no reason?”

[I want to go home…]

He said he wanted to go home, yet he deliberately headed for the battlefield. Because there, he could join a medical team from Country C and return to his homeland with them.

But he never made it.

On the sixth day after they met, he, along with those comrades who bullied him and whom he had saved, all fell into the enemy’s artillery bombardment zone…

“My brother’s foreign language wasn’t great, and he spoke with a heavy accent.”

Xianyu Jing kept talking, not noticing the storm raging in Jiang Mohe’s eyes, nor the tightly clenched hands at his side, trembling ever so slightly.

Such a coincidence did exist in this world!

“His accent was indeed very thick…” Jiang Mohe muttered to himself.

“What?” Xianyu Jing didn’t catch it.

“This information is enough,” Jiang Mohe lowered his gaze, releasing his grip.

Xianyu Jing stopped talking and asked uncertainly, “Is this enough to find out my brother’s whereabouts?”

“Mm.” Jiang Mohe responded softly.

There was no need to look for his whereabouts anymore.

Once caught in the enemy’s shelling zone, aside from someone like himself—a “misfit” who could miraculously survive after being blown to pieces—no ordinary person could have lived.

But it was worth investigating why he had fled from that medical organization.

At the time, Yu Xiangsheng hadn’t left much information, merely saying he had betrayed what he once believed in and only wished to return and reunite with his family.

Inside his vintage pocket watch, there was a photo of his family. But no one had ever seen it. Thinking back, it must have been the same group photo that Xianyu Jing had on her phone.

Jiang Mohe descended from Xianyu Jing’s room. Aunt Rong asked him, “Xiao Jiang, why were you in Miss’s room for so long? Was there something important?”

Recently, Aunt Rong had noticed that Miss and Jiang Mohe seemed quite close. Although Jiang Mohe’s job was to protect the young lady and more frequent contact was inevitable, after all, there should be boundaries between men and women!

Aunt Rong always hoped the young lady would end up with the eldest young master, so she didn’t like to see her get too close to other men.

Especially the second young master, and that heir from the Xi family! As for Xiao Jiang, surely he wouldn’t cross the line, right?

Jiang Mohe was a bit distracted and didn’t really hear Aunt Rong’s question. He just replied with a noncommittal sound and walked out.

Aunt Rong felt puzzled. Hua Xiaocui walked over, nibbling on a cucumber, and remarked, “Aunt Rong, with all the things you worry about every day, aren’t you afraid you’ll age faster?”

“You cheeky girl, have some manners!” Aunt Rong spat at her, then added with a look of distaste, “And why are you still eating! Even if the Nangong family has plenty to eat and drink, aren’t you worried you’ll get fat?”

With her complaints finished, Aunt Rong went back to her room.

Hua Xiaocui pouted, muttering, “So what if I get fat? My grandma always says chubby girls are lucky!”

Truthfully, Hua Xiaocui wasn’t all that heavy; it was just that her less-than-1.6-meter height made her 110 pounds look more noticeable.

Xianyu Jing only found out about Bai Liyao’s beating on the third day after it happened.

Because Bai Liyao had warned Zhai Yan’er not to tell her. But Zhai Yan’er was never good at keeping secrets; she only managed for a day before spilling everything.

During this period, Bai Liyao was either on leave or hiding in the department doing research, never showing his face. How could Xianyu Jing have known what was going on with him!

As soon as she heard the news, she sent him a message: “Aren’t we friends anymore?”

Bai Liyao, seeing it, hurried to their “secret base.” When he saw only Xianyu Jing was there, he dashed over.

She glanced at the wound that still hadn’t healed and asked, “Who bullied you?”

Bai Liyao thought she wanted to stand up for him and quickly said, “They were all just some local thugs.”

“Were they instigated by students from the academy?”

“That I’m not sure about,” Bai Liyao answered honestly.

There were so many male students at the academy who disliked him; how could he guess who had hired people to rough him up?

“You didn’t call the police?” Xianyu Jing was a bit annoyed.

“No…” Bai Liyao murmured, “If my sister finds out, it’ll blow up.”

If the police got involved, they’d definitely contact family, and once Bai Luomei knew the truth, she’d intervene for sure.

Xianyu Jing understood he was holding back for Zhai Yan’er’s sake. But this way, the problem would remain unsolved.

“I’ll walk you home for the time being,” Xianyu Jing said.

“That’s not necessary, is it?” Bai Liyao didn’t want to trouble her.

“Want me to take you, or should Sister Bai?”

“…You.”

“Then wait for me at the school gate after class.”

After school, Bai Liyao obediently waited for Xianyu Jing at the gate.

A few male students walked past him, sneering, “Hey, isn’t this the astronomy genius who likes researching aliens?”

“Pfft, he’s just a big talker!”

“But he got the school to approve a research project!”

“Hmph, only because of the Zhai family’s connections…”

…

Their blatant ridicule drew quite a crowd.

Bai Liyao never uttered a word.

Suddenly, there was a loud “Ouch!”

The ringleader clutched the back of his head, fuming, “Who dared sneak up on me? Do you know who I am?”

“Insulting classmates and using foul language on school grounds—minus 30 points from your conduct grade!” Xianyu Jing strolled over, phone in hand, tallying up the points.

The ringleader’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Who are you? Are you from the disciplinary committee? Who gave you the right to deduct our points?”

Xianyu Jing pulled the committee badge from her pocket and pinned it on, lips curled in a slight smile. “Congratulations, you guessed right.”

“…”

The boys all turned pale as ash.

What rotten luck! School was over, and they still got caught by a disciplinary officer.

“Let’s go, let’s go!” They glanced at each other, clutching their student cards, and hurried away.

After all, as long as their names weren’t remembered, no one would know whose points to deduct.

They completely forgot that the surveillance cameras at the school gate were top-notch, with footage as clear as if the events were unfolding right before your eyes.

Xianyu Jing looked at Bai Liyao, who remained silent even when bullied, and felt a little disappointed.

When she’d been targeted by Lu Hankai and Luo Liya, he had spoken up so loudly on her behalf. Why was he so meek when it came to himself?

She reminded him, “You may not want Sister Bai to know, but those people won’t stop unless they’re taught a lesson.”

Just like Zuo Jingjing—she’d put up with her for so long, and the trouble only stopped after she was expelled.

“You’re not worried Sister Bai will get angry at Zhai Yan’er, are you?” Xianyu Jing finally hit the nail on the head.
