Chapter 164: Qiao Zihao Wakes Up

When Xiao Ying arrived at the hospital, she saw that Qiao Zihao was already awake.

He calmly greeted Xiao Ying, who was, of course, surprised. After getting the doctor to check on him and making sure that there were no problems, she took him home.

The moment Qiao Zihao returned home, the first thing he did was to get his teddy bear. Seeing that he liked it, Xiao Ying bought a few more for him and placed them in his room. However, Qiao Zihao did not even look at the plushies. He only hugged his teddy bear.

Xiao Ying asked curiously, “Zihao, don’t you like these?”

Qiao Zihao looked at the plushies on the bed and said, “I only want this one.”

Xiao Ying smiled and let him be. She put away the other plushies.

Then, she looked at the little teddy bear in his hand. Was there something special about this plushie?

Qiao Zihao allowed Xiao Ying to size him up. Pointing to the red string on the bear’s tail, he said, “Sister, look. I’ve tied a red string to its tail. That way, I’ll recognize it immediately even if I lose it.”

Xiao Ying found it amusing and said, “This teddy bear is inside the house all the time. It won’t get lost.”

Qiao Zihao said nothing more.

Time passed, and Xiao Ying had made no progress in her experiment. This was expected. This kind of project was a difficult problem to begin with, and it would take a long time to figure it out, so Xiao Ying was not disappointed.

However, Yan Kun and the others made her look at them in a different light. They had no intention of backing out of a hopeless research project. They still analyzed and studied it seriously every day. She admired their character.

In their free time, Xiao Ying led them to do some other experiments. Their reputations slowly rose at the University of Medicine, so they would not be buried underneath her for years.

That’s right. Xiao Ying was prepared to spend years or even decades researching this experiment.

Qiao Zihao still stayed by their side every day and would comment from time to time. He always gave them a different perspective.

During lunch time, Xiao Ying asked curiously, “Zihao, did you not go to school in the past either?”

Qiao Zihao said, “Because I would faint from time to time, Mom decided to let me self-study at home.”

Xiao Ying nodded and did not ask further. Although he always looked like he did not mind, such matters would probably make an adult disappointed and sad, let alone a child.

Other than the laboratory, they ate in the school’s cafeteria. They came early, and there were only a few people when they came. Now that classes ended, the surroundings gradually became lively.

A beautiful girl walked in surrounded by people. She frowned when she saw the ruckus.

The people who were following her shouted, “Make way! Can’t you all see that our School Belle Qu is here?”

The surrounding students also made way for her. Only then did Qu Mingzhu walk in, feeling satisfied. When she saw Yan Kun sitting at a table and eating, her eyes lit up. “Brother Yan Kun, I’ve already sent someone to deliver food to you. Why are you still in this lousy canteen?”

The surrounding students were angry but did not dare to speak. This was not only the school belle, but also the daughter of the Qu family, who could shake the capital with just a stomp of her foot. Hence, no one could afford to offend her.

Yan Kun said coldly, “Thank you for your kindness, but I think the food in the canteen suits me better.”

His behavior made the students feel admiration. As expected of the school hunk, he was indeed bold.

If they had been pursued by such a rich and beautiful woman, they would have surrendered long ago.

Tian Lan glanced at them and poked at the rice in her bowl unhappily.

Yan Kun said, “Eat properly.”

Although he was frowning, anyone could hear the indulgence in his tone.
