Chapter 18 - A Strange Friend

Many elders respected Chinese medicine and were willing to believe in it. Unfortunately, technology was getting more and more advanced, and Western medicine was developing very quickly, so Chinese medicine had declined a little after some time. However, there were still many people who believed in Chinese medicine. The old man had noticed that Su Yu was very skilled with the needles, so he asked a few more questions out of curiosity.

"Um... No, I learned it myself. I just did it randomly. I was just lucky." Su Yu replied. Her ears suddenly buzzed and her head hurt a little. She quickly took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the back of her neck. The patient had been saved, so she didn't need to worry about the rest. She still had to go to school tomorrow and buy things!

Right at this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly became noisy, as if someone had squeezed in. Before Su Yu could figure out what was going on, she heard a familiar voice.

"Su Yu?"

Su Yu heard the voice and looked up, her head hurting even more. Why is it Bai Ziteng's strange friend again?

Pei Jinyu had finally arrived at this place after racing all the way. Seeing that there were many people there, he immediately rushed over. He was especially afraid of hearing bad news, but he still came. The situation seemed to be much better than he had imagined.

Pei Xichen was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but his chest was moving up and down. It was obvious that he was still breathing, but he would occasionally curl up and cough water. Beside him was a drenched girl. Her originally snow-white skin was almost transparent. Her hair was messily wrapped around her neck, and her clothes were tightly stuck to her body. Her eyes were dark and spirited, but the gaze she gave her seemed to be a little ... impatient?

Pei Jinyu did not expect to see such a scene. His men had already rushed over to check on Pei Xichen's body. One of them heaved a sigh of relief and reported to Pei Jinyu, "Master Pei, the young master is fine. He didn't drown for long and was rescued in time. He's just unconscious because he choked on water."

"Take him to the hospital!" Pei Jinyu instructed.

At this moment, the drenched girl stood up, picked up her school bag, and wanted to leave. The temperature was high in summer, but the wind was still a little chilly in the cool places.

"Su Yu." Pei Jinyu stopped her and took off his coat, putting it on her. He even grabbed her wrist and said, "Where are you going? You have to go to the hospital too."

Her skin was very fair, so the red wounds on her body were particularly striking.

Pei Jinyu noticed the injuries on her body and asked, "The injuries on your body were caused by Xichen, right?"

Su Yu was stunned. He knew that child? She looked at her arm and touched her neck. It was sticky and must be bleeding again. "That child was just shocked. He's fine now. He'll be fine even if he doesn't go to the hospital."

"Let me see your hand." Pei Jinyu grabbed her hand and pulled it away in a daze. Seeing the blood on her palm, he closed his mouth tightly and his eyes darkened. "Come with me to the hospital."

Su Yu couldn't break free and her nerves started to pulse again. She became more and more irritated. "It's just a small injury. I'll just go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for it."

Because of Su Man's illness, she was a little resistant to the hospital.

However, Pei Jinyu had no intentions of discussing this with her. Instead, he pulled her hand forcefully and said, "Come to the hospital with me, or I'll call your grandfather right now. You choose!"

Su Yu was speechless. This person was indeed abnormal...

Bai Ziteng also ran over in a hurry. "Make way, please make way."

After passing through the crowd, he immediately saw the tall Pei Jinyu and the girl who was being held by the wrist. The girl was so white that she was glowing and was completely drenched. Her long legs looked especially familiar...

He looked at Su Yu in surprise and asked, "Yu? What are you doing here?"

Su Yu didn't expect that her cousin would come as well. Not only did she have a headache now, but even her stomach was starting to hurt. She wondered if it was because she had been in the water for too long.

What was going on today? She seemed to be a little unlucky!

"Master Pei," Bai Ziteng greeted Pei Jinyu simply, then turned all his attention to Su Yu. Her body was completely drenched and water was still dripping from her clothes. Only then did he react and ask anxiously, "What's wrong with you two? Why is Yu drenched and injured?"

Bai Ziteng's head ached as well. Fortunately, his grandfather and the others weren't here. Otherwise, he would definitely be beaten up if they saw Su Yu in this state! He looked around and asked in confusion, "Master Pei, where's Xichen?"

Wasn't Pei Jinyu here to look for Pei Xichen? Now that Pei Xichen was nowhere to be seen, wasn't he worried?
