Chapter 711: Heaven Is Fair

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She was extremely bored yet helpless during her recuperation. She watched as her classmates studiously prepared for the final year examinations. Yet, she could only sit in the hospital and do nothing. She finally began to feel anxious.

Her dream was to get into Capital University, and it was a goal that she had been working hard towards. However, now that she had to rest in the hospital, she felt like she was straying further and further away from her goal.

Although she was feeling miserable, she knew that her health had to be taken care of. Hence, she had no choice but to suppress her anxiety and relax while focusing on recuperating.

The door of the ward was pushed open and Wen Xinya looked up to see Zhong Rufeng standing suavely by the door, dressed in a white shirt and cream-colored trousers. He looked refined and classy, like a duke from ancient times.

“How’s your health?” Zhong Rufeng asked, carrying a bouquet of exquisite viburnum flowers which were pure and white like jade.

He had also rushed to the hospital after finding out from his grandfather that she had been kidnapped and admitted to the hospital. He then found out about her condition from the doctor, after which he panicked and grew flustered.

At this moment, he felt relieved to see that she looked more energized, though a little pale.

Wen Xinya said, “Do I look like there’s something wrong with me?”

She had been recuperating well and her wounds were healing rather quickly too. Although her face was a little pale, her bruises could no longer be seen.

Zhong Rufeng scrutinized her face and said, “Yes!”

Wen Xinya grimaced and thought to herself, Must he shame me like that!?! Can’t we just be friends together happily?

Zhong Rufeng said, “You look so pale. I can tell with one glance that you had an excessive loss of blood. You look frail and weak too. Your forehead is a little pale as well. You must have gotten a great fright.”

He appeared a little awful and he suddenly realized that the smart, beautiful, rational and shrewd Wen Xinya whom he had known for two years seemed to forever stay firm to her bottom line... The more he understood her, the more attracted he was to her. He was also trying to work hard towards winning her heart.

He did not wish to pressurize her or get too impatient because she was still young. Hence, he chose to gradually get closer to her and find out more about her life. He wanted to make her let her guard down slowly.

However, he was always the last few to find out whenever Wen Xinya met with a mishap. At this moment, he realized that everything that he had done was barely enough and that he had to learn how to be more than friends with her.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she gibed. “Zhong Rufeng, you can actually become a doctor. Well... you’d do well in Traditional Chinese Medicine! I believe Grandpa Du will be glad to have such an outstanding student like you.”

Although she was clearly recovering well, Zhong Rufeng made it sound as if she was about to be terminally ill. She wondered, Is he really here to visit me or to curse me?

Zhong Rufeng said, “I indeed had the intention to acknowledge Old Mr. Du as my master, but he wasn’t willing to take me under his wing.”

He used to dream of being a noble Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya asked, “Why? You’re so outstanding. There’s no reason Grandpa Du wouldn’t take you in.”

Grandpa Du is willing to take such a lousy student like me, what more Zhong Rufeng whose grandfather is on close terms with Grandpa Du. Wouldn’t it be right for him to take Zhong Rufeng as his disciple?

Zhong Rufeng said calmly, “I know very little about herbs, especially those that are similar to each other.”

Wen Xinya instantly understood what he meant. Staring at the smile on Zhong Rufeng’s face, she said, “Master Zhong, you’ve already achieved stellar results. You can’t be perfect in every aspect. You must give others a chance to shine too. Am I right?”

She had known Zhong Rufeng for more than two years and knew that he was close to perfect. However, she was shocked to discover that he had flaws.

Staring at her raised brows, Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “Yes! Heaven is fair.”

Wen Xinya could not help but burst into laughter.

Zhong Rufeng continued, “I’ve consulted your main physician. He said that you have suffered a severe injury on your head and that you have to nurse it well. You don’t have to worry about the final year examination. Once your condition stabilizes in another few days, I’ll tutor you. I won’t let you lag too far behind.”

Extremely thrilled, Wen Xinya asked, “Really?”

With the scholarly Zhong Rufeng around to help me, Mother won’t have to worry about my academics.

She began to get agitated and he caressed her hair affectionately. “I know how much getting into Capital University means to you. Don’t worry... I’ll definitely help you. I won’t let you have any regrets.”

He had also heard about Ning Shuqian losing her rationality and becoming mentally unsound. He did not want her to harm her own health while focusing too much on her revision.

Wen Xinya felt the warmth of his hand and froze in shock, before turning away while giggling the moment she realized that it felt wrong.

Zhong Rufeng looked at his hand which was hovering in the air and no longer on her soft and tender hair. Feeling a little empty, he got a grip on his emotions and said, “But, you must promise that you’ll prioritize your recovery and avoid letting your imagination run wild.”

Wen Xinya did not object and instead changed the subject. “Has Grandpa Zhong been doing well lately? It’s been a long time since I visited him.”

Previously, she had paused her calligraphy lessons with Old Mr. ZHong because she was preoccupied with revising.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and answered, “He’s still the same as usual. When he found out about your injury this morning, he flew into a rage and threw a tantrum at Old Mr. Mo. I reckon he’s on his way here now.”

He had initially planned to visit Wen Xinya together with Old Mr. Zhong. However, he could not contain his feelings of worry and hence, decided to come forth in advance.

Wen Xinya said resignedly, “I must have made Grandpa Zhong worry.”

This time,

Zhong Rufeng gazed at her while she seemed to be stuck in a dilemma. He took great pity on her, for he knew that she had been putting her best foot forward and he had witnessed all the hard work and efforts that she had put in in order to win the Wen Family’s affirmation. He initially thought that her life would become smoother after she had gained recognition. Yet, it brought her a huge disaster.
