Chapter 134 Trouble Was Always Somewhere

Huangfu Yi didn't dare to move anymore and looked straight at Murong Xue. He felt that he was ill, and his heartbeat was not normal.

It was getting light. Murong Xue opened her eyes slightly and met Huangfu Yi's beautiful eyes. She instantly woke up and took a big step back, almost falling to the ground.

"Sister, I feel a bit under the weather." Huangfu Yi said in a hoarse voice. He couldn't fall asleep after waking up in the middle of the night, and he kept his eyes open until dawn. He had a headache, but he tried all night. Whenever he looked at Murong Xue, his heartbeat was a little out of order. He felt that he must be ill.

Murong Xue woke up to see Huangfu Yi, and it was sure to give her a startle. She got worried when hearing his husky voice. Was he ill? Why did he look so wan and tired? She came forward to feel his forehead. "What's the matter, Yi? Did you catch a cold last night?"

Her hands were cold and soft. Here it came again. His heart raced, and he began to be a little short of breath. He really fell ill.

His temperature was normal. Murong Xue felt his pulse and it was so fast. She frowned. What was going on? "Yi, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Huangfu Yi shook his head. He didn't know how to describe his feelings. It seemed that his heart ached but the next moment it seemed not. But his heart rate wasn't normal.

Murong Xue did a careful check for him again but found nothing wrong. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well at night. "Yi, if you're not feeling well, tell me, okay?"

Huangfu Yi nodded and touched his chest. He didn’t feel that uncomfortable.

Murong Xue got up, washed her face, and then helped Huangfu Yi brush his teeth and wash his face. Then she made breakfast and had it with Huangfu Yi, who watched her leave to go to school later.

She flipped through the schedule and decided to go to the classroom. Although she had the right not to attend classes, she came across a textbook yesterday which turned out to be good. Besides, she came to this college to hone her medical skills.

Like yesterday, the moment Murong Xue got into school, she drew the attention of all the students there. Professor Bai's introduction was so impressive the other day. He was held in high repute, and his disciple was sure to attract eyes.

She brushed them off and walked straight to the classroom, not aware of how beautiful she was in people's eyes. Her confident pace, beautiful and delicate face, and talent made her the goddess in many people's hearts.

When Murong Xue got into the classroom, a few seats had been taken, and there were still a lot of vacancies. In fact, the classroom was rarely full. She went all the way to a vacant seat in the middle and sat down.

Ever since she entered the classroom, it had been quiet. People who were discussing stopped. Some were curious; some adored her; some were envious. In short, she could feel all kinds of looks cast on her no matter how thick-skulled she was.

She raised her head and looked around with a friendly smile, "Why are you looking at me? Am I looking strange? You made me a little embarrassed." She knew why she had been a loser in her last life. Though she was born to a good family, she seldom got along with people except for her family. She was somewhat shy and not that mature at that time. Sometimes it took courage to make friends.

Perhaps because she was shy, she never took the initiative to say hello, and she wasn't that articulate. Besides, Xiao Keli bad-mouthed her and spread rumors around school about her being cocky and imperious, so no one would even greet her from then on.

The students in the classroom didn't expect Murong Xue to say it in such a jokey way. The sweet smile softened her somewhat indifferent face and made her look amicable. Students were hooting with laughter and many came to seat surround her.

"Miss Murong, can we chat with you?"

"You looked as if you didn't like to make friends, and we didn't dare to approach you…"

"Miss Murong…"

Murong Xue smiled and pressed against her chest, pretending to be sad, "I feel that you have shot holes in every part of me. I don't know that I'm so scary that you are afraid to say hello to me."

The power of her beauty was profound. She soon had boys and girls take a liking to her. Her exaggerated actions and humorous words instantly pulled her close to everyone. "Miss Murong, I think I begin to like you. Can I make friends with you?"

"Me, too!"

"Me, too!"

"..."

Their friendly smiles and funny words almost made Murong Xue burst into tears. She finally understood what she had missed in her last life. "Me, too. You can call me Xue, and I am very happy to be friends with you."

"Really? Great, I thought you were difficult to get along with, but I was so wrong."

Murong Xue looked at him in disbelief. "Can I take what you just said as a compliment?"

"It is a compliment."

It didn't sound like a compliment, did it? But it didn't matter. On this day, Murong Xue had a good start and got something very important, which was the courage to get along with people at any time.

They talked a lot in twos and threes and got to know each other. Not long after, the teacher came in, and all the students were quickly back to their seats. Murong Xue had changed a small bunch of people's impression of her.

Perhaps Professor Bai had such a good reputation that Murong Xue had also been the key subject of observation by the school teachers, who always called her name several times in class to have her answer questions. Fortunately, Murong Xue had a photographic memory and medical books in the Space, so she always gave perfect answers. However, it prompted them to call her more to answer questions as they thought she lived up to be the disciple of Professor Bai. Gradually, more students came to her for help, which made her even more well-known.

Of course, not everyone liked Murong Xue. There was a sophomore named Long Meijing. She was originally the beauty queen in the University of Medicine with outstanding grades. She was also one of the girls who recommended herself to Professor Bai but got refused. However, no one knew about it. Even if Professor Bai refused her, it didn't matter much. After all, she was beautiful and lived a good life at school.

However, ever since Murong Xue came in, everything began to change slowly. Some people always compared her to Murong Xue, and she never seemed to measure up in terms of appearance or achievement. Some people said that the beauty queen of the University of Medicine needed a change.

Why? Murong Xue was just a freshman, and she was not even a native of the capital. How dare they compare Murong Xue with her? Though her family was no match for the big families in the capital, she was also well-heeled. How could she allow Murong Xue to be above her? Most importantly, she enjoyed being surrounded and flattered by people, but Murong Xue changed it all. Of course, she was unwilling to let go of her glory and pride.

Murong Xue attended classes as usual, completely unaware that she had been a thorn in someone's flesh.

Huangfu Yi's wound had healed up. She had him have the spiritual water and her tailor-made medicine, so he had a quick recovery. Even the swelling on his head went down, but he didn't get his memory back.

On this day, the school was just over and Murong Xue was about to pack up her books when several people came in, "Who is Murong Xue?"

Murong Xue was taken aback. She looked up and saw several well-dressed girls, who looked aggressive and unfriendly. "Me. What's up?"

Some students didn't leave, and they walked up to Murong Xue. "Xiaoliu, what's the matter? Do you know these people?"

She looked at the students around her, three boys and two girls. She got along well with them and they chatted a lot these days.

They were all natives in the capital. Speaking of which, the five of them grew up together, but she didn't know much about their background and she never asked. She thought that they could be good friends regardless of their backgrounds, and they didn't ask her about her family, either. The most interesting thing was how they called each other: Laoda, Xiao’er, Xiaosan, Xiaosi, and Xiaowu. Murong Xue was called Xiaoliu now.

Murong Xue was grateful that they stood by her side. That was when friends showed their true colors. She smiled, "No, but it's okay. Just go first if you're in a hurry." From the look of them, those people were here to pick a quarrel. She didn't want to get her friends into trouble.

Those guys frowned at the sight of Murong Xue. After entering, one girl kicked the books off Murong Xue's desk.

"What are you doing?" Xiaowu rushed up. She was cute and petite but was a bit sloppy in daily life. Murong Xue thought she should be called Xiaoliu as she looked the youngest among them, but Xiaowu refused. In her words, she had been the youngest for so many years and it was time for her to be a senior.

Those people didn't look easy to deal with, especially the two boys, who looked aggressive. Murong Xue feared they might hurt Xiaowu. She stepped forward and pulled Xiaowu behind her. "I don't know what you mean. Have I offended you?" Murong Xue spoke in a cold voice. To tell the truth, she wasn't scared at all. They were just students, not kidnappers on the run. Maybe she had experienced a lot, and such things were nothing more than fights among children.

"We came here for Murong Xue, and you'd better get out of here!" One of the boys said. There were six people in Murong Xue’s party, including Murong Xue. If they all stood up against them, it wouldn't do them good. It would be even worse if they got the attention of teachers.

"No way! Want to bully our Xiaoliu? Over my dead body! She could only be bullied by us." Xiaosan was a bit of a rascal, but he was actually the most cunning one among the five of them.

Murong Xue was speechless, and she didn't want to let people know that she knew him.

Those people didn't expect that Murong Xue had friends who stood by her side within a few days. They had thought that she would be alone as a newcomer and it would be easy to teach her a lesson. They didn’t expect that they would come to a deadlock like this.

Murong Xue had no time to waste with them. Huangfu Yi was still waiting for her at home. She said in a cold voice, "I don't think you're clear about what's going on. On the first day of school, Professor Bai had already introduced me, and my teacher won't let go of those who have bullied his disciple." The name of Professor Bai now came in handy.

Their faces changed at the same time. No one would stake their future on it. Professor Bai was known not only for his exquisite medical skills but also for defending his friends and students. If he knew they got Murong Xue into trouble, they would be dead meat.

"You're just relying on Professor Bai. No big deal!" One girl stuttered, not as aggressive as before.

"I have my teacher to rely on. Go find yourself one if you're qualified. Don't be mistaken. You caused the trouble. If teachers find it out... " Her tone was menacing.

They turned a bit pale. They didn't expect that Murong Xue's friends would come to help. If no one had been there, they wouldn't have listened to what she said and would have directly given her a good beating.

In the end, they gave Murong Xue a malicious look. "Wait and see! You have messed up with people who you shouldn't offend, and you will pay for it." They intended to take credit and ask for some rewards from Long Meijing, but the plan fell through.
