Looking at his handsome face, He Xue felt somewhat dazed. Was the boy before her really the Wu Liang who had always harassed her in the past?
"What? Is there something on my face?"
Noticing He Xue's gaze, Wu Liang lowered his head to look at her.
He Xue's delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was framed by slightly furrowed brows, while ripples of emotion swirled in her beautiful eyes.
A blush spread across her jade-white cheeks. She lightly bit her thin lips, her expression full of complicated emotions.
"Why did you help me...?"
Compared to her earlier shyness, He Xue had calmed down considerably now.
She could not break free from Wu Liang's embrace anyway, and she truly could not walk right now.
Since that was the case, she might as well accept the situation, lie quietly in his arms, and relax.
Besides, she had to admit that his embrace was indeed very warm, and that familiar faint fragrance made her feel much more at ease.
"Do I need a reason to help a classmate?"
Wu Liang smiled. He could not exactly tell He Xue, "Because you're a female lead, that's why I helped you."
Even if he said it, He Xue would not be able to understand what he meant.
Still, this incident had undoubtedly sounded an alarm for Wu Liang. He was not playing an ACG dating game now; he was living in a real world.
Many things could happen in this world that he had never encountered in the game, and the female leads would not necessarily fall for the male lead one hundred percent of the time.
That meant reaching a true perfect ending for the male lead and the female leads would be extremely difficult.
After all, there were dozens, even hundreds of times more factors in this world that could affect whether they reached a true perfect ending than there had been in the game.
He had to speed things up. The current progress was far too slow.
"That thing this morning... those people..."
After hesitating for a moment, He Xue muttered softly. Perhaps she had been a little impulsive that morning.
Although someone had knelt before Wu Liang, she could not conclude from that alone that Wu Liang had been bullying them.
And later, Wu Liang had clearly intended to help the person up. It seemed that she had been too rash.
"It was nothing serious. They just came to apologize to me."
"You should still remember that I was hospitalized a while ago. It was because of that incident."
Wu Liang spoke indifferently. If anything, he ought to thank them.
If not for that athlete's heavy shot put strike, he might still have been unable to awaken his true memories.
Then again, that guy's aim had been ridiculously accurate.
"So that's why... I'm sorry. I accused you without understanding what had really happened..."
He Xue lowered her little head guiltily, her face full of regret.
But in a sense, she could not be blamed for assuming the worst.
After all, the old Wu Liang had been a delinquent capable of every evil. In her mind, he had been the perfect spokesman for scoundrels.
A thug turning into a refined and courteous gentleman overnight—no novel would dare write a plot like that.
"It's fine. I didn't take it to heart."
Wu Liang smiled as though he did not care, but inwardly, he was delighted.
Good! It's getting better!! If things keep developing like this, I'll definitely become He Xue's friend!
That was what Wu Liang had thought...
The Beautiful School Doctor Was Very Easygoing
"Infirmary"
Pale purple lavender decorations could be seen throughout the room. The entire room could be said to be styled around lavender and pale pink vine patterns.
Compared to Huihuangxing Academy's other rooms, this place was clearly much simpler.
Yet the whole room gave off a quiet, elegant feeling, and the fragrance of lavender made the atmosphere particularly peaceful.
"Her body is too weak. Let her rest here properly for a while."
"I prescribed some medicine for her. Remember to have her drink it later, and she won't keep hurting."
The young woman took off her mask and slowly emerged from the inner room. When she saw Wu Liang sitting by the door, she smiled faintly.
That pretty girl inside must be his girlfriend. Otherwise, he would not have carried her here in a princess carry all the way.
Young people these days were really affectionate. It would be nice if she could have such a sweet relationship too.
"Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Liu Yan."
Wu Liang looked at the young female teacher before him and spoke calmly.
Liu Yan was the school nurse here. Although she was already twenty-seven, she had never been in a relationship.
Teacher Liu had a great figure and was very beautiful. She did not look like a woman who would be approaching thirty in a few years at all.
It was said that she had many outstanding suitors, but she had rejected every one of them and still lived alone to this day.
"It's nothing. It's my duty."
"Still, your little girlfriend is in very poor health. You should make sure she eats more meat to supplement her nutrition."
"She can't neglect vitamins either. Most importantly, she needs to drink more hot water. Do you understand?"
Liu Yan casually took out a sheet of A4 paper and wrote down all the foods she could think of.
For girls with weak constitutions, a large part of the reason was malnutrition.
Paying more attention to their daily diet and drinking hot water regularly could help them.
"I'll pass that along to her. But there's one thing you misunderstood, Teacher Liu. We're only classmates."
Wu Liang spread his hands, indicating that his relationship with He Xue was not what Liu Yan imagined.
"Oh? Classmates? Then I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Wu Liang."
Liu Yan pushed up the glasses on her nose and studied the boy before her with interest.
Though he had indeed changed a great deal, she could still tell that this boy was Wu Liang, who often visited this place.
She had heard that this little rascal had been hospitalized. She had not expected him to return to school so quickly.
At first, she had not even recognized him. This guy had really changed a lot.
"Teacher Liu, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Wu Liang smiled helplessly under Liu Yan's stare. He had the distinct feeling that staying here would not be a good idea.
"What, you want to run as soon as you see me? Aren't you going to chat with me?"
Liu Yan lightly tapped on the desk as she spoke. Now that he was here, how could she let that brat Wu Liang run off?
Before she got an explanation out of him, Wu Liang should not even think about leaving.
That brat had caused her plenty of trouble in the past. She could not let him off so easily.
Wu Liang smiled helplessly. His former self had indeed caused Liu Yan quite a bit of trouble, but they were not actually that close.
Back then, he only came here to find a bed and sleep for half a day, or to have some medicine applied to his injuries.
He and Liu Yan had not interacted much and were not particularly familiar with each other.
"Just keep this bored woman company and chat with me for a while. Hardly anyone comes here on normal days."
Seeing that Wu Liang wanted to leave, Liu Yan took a bottle of red wine from beneath the desk and set it directly on top.
She casually pulled out two wine glasses and gestured for Wu Liang to sit beside her.
"Teacher Liu?"
Wu Liang's eye twitched slightly. What was Liu Yan trying to do?
"I'm not giving you any, so why are you getting so worked up?"
Liu Yan smiled teasingly and slowly poured herself two glasses.
She was not bored enough to ask a student to drink with an old woman like her.
"Aren't you going to tell me what happened? With this injury of yours."
Liu Yan sipped her wine and pointed at his right forehead, where Wu Liang had been injured before.
She had been the one to give Wu Liang emergency treatment on the spot before the Wu family rushed him to the hospital.
She still vividly remembered how terrible Wu Liang had looked then. His forehead had been split open by a wound deep enough to expose bone, and blood had poured out without stopping.
Wu Liang had lost consciousness in an instant. Even his heartbeat and breathing had stopped several times along the way.
Given his condition at the time, she would not have been surprised even if Wu Liang had died on the spot.
That had been a shot put, not a tennis ball, handball, or anything like that.
After being struck hard by a shot put flying in at high speed from a distance, even if Wu Liang had been lucky enough to survive, his brain should have been destroyed by the tremendous impact, leaving him a vegetable.
Yet not only had Wu Liang not become a vegetable, he had not suffered any aftereffects. He had not even been left with the slightest scar.
It was simply too inconceivable. From a medical perspective, this was something that should have been impossible.
"Just as you can see, it's completely healed."
"It's not just you who has doubts, Teacher. Even I find it difficult to explain this change."
Wu Liang touched his forehead and spoke calmly. Even he could not understand the change.
Could it be that awakening my memories reshaped my body? Bullshit. This isn't some sci-fi, fantasy, or xianxia novel. How could something that absurd happen?
"Is that so? Let me take a look."
Curiously, Liu Yan walked over to Wu Liang, bent down, and held his cheeks as she examined the wound on his forehead.
There was no trace of the scar that should have been there. His skin was as tender and smooth as a newborn's, leaving Liu Yan astonished.
This was the first time she had seen someone's wound heal so perfectly.
"Um... Teacher Liu..."
Smelling the fragrance drifting from Liu Yan's body, Wu Liang stiffened as he looked at Liu Yan, who was right in front of him.
The distance between their noses was less than five centimeters. Curiosity was written all over Liu Yan's beautiful face.
Crack...
It sounded like something had shattered, and a slender figure flashed past the window.
A crack slowly spread across the water cup in the woman's hand, showing just how terrifyingly strong her grip was.
"Hm? What's wrong with you?"
Milutin, now dressed in loose casual clothes, leaned against the infirmary door and yawned.
When she saw the water cup covered in cracks in Yao Shi's hand, she grinned. This was the first time she had seen Yao Shi display such a strong emotional reaction.
"It's nothing. Let's go."
Yao Shi silently stared at Liu Yan inside the room and spoke coldly before turning around and quickly leaving.
"Yes, yes, I'm going~~~"
Milutin clasped her hands behind her head and smiled as she watched Yao Shi's retreating figure.
Even a cold machine had begun to possess feelings of her own...
Charge Ahead
"Um, Teacher Liu, you're too close."
