Chapter 438: Leave People to Die

It was clear how heartless Yu Qiubai was by the way he made a sucker out of Su Mushi. Although it felt good to see Su Mushi backstabbed, Shen Xi disapproved of Yu Qiubai’s method.

“My mom’s illness can’t be delayed any further.” Yu Qiubai looked into her eyes. “If you’re really the doctor, I beg you to please help me. I won’t let anyone know that it’s you.”

Alarm bells started ringing in Shen Xi’s head. He was a fox indeed. Shen Xi believed that she hid it well, and yet Yu Qiubai still managed to find out.

“I give you, my word.” Yu Qiubai’s tone appeared on edge as nerves took over his body. Her non-responsiveness saw a bitter smile across his lips.

He was conscious.

She loathed his presence.

Why would she help him?

There was nothing more he could do if she refused to admit that she was the one who cured Ning Sinian.

“Take me to see her when you have the time.” His sincere plea appealed to her conscience.

Yes.

The godd*mn fox, having peeled off the layer of pretense, exposed his weakness and vulnerability as he pleaded with worry.

She was not the kind who would leave people to die.

Shen Xi could not sit by and watch after he implored wholeheartedly.

Had Yu Qiubai remained his callous and enigmatic self, Shen Xi would continue to give him the snub.

Right now, he was only a filial son looking for a cure to save his mother.

Yu Qiubai did not know what had gotten into him as his vision became blurry following the affirmation from her. Once the nervous hold over him was lifted, spells of cold sweat and dizziness followed. He lightly held onto the railing for support before earnestly muttering, “Thank you.”

Without another word, Shen Xi took off.

Watching her receding figure, Yu Qiubai broke into a smile.

By the time Shen Xi returned to the classroom, Song Wenye already had her bag packed. She waved her hand in grandiose and confidently said, “I’m leaving now. Don’t worry, everyone. I will return as a champion!”

Standing by the door, Shen Xi solemnly turned to her. “May you debut front and center, Ms. Song Wenye.”

“Of course.” Song Wenye had faith in her triumphant return. She patted Shen Xi’s shoulder before emotionally remarking, “I’m leaving these foolish bunch to you.”

At the back, the International Class students booed and rolled their eyes at her. Nevertheless, they were still caught in a mushy moment.

With the National College Entrance Examination happening in less than two months, the International Class would cease to exist after the exams. It was hard to imagine that they could not even be together in the final two months.

Shen Xi accepted the responsibility. “Relax, I will look after them.”

The International Class students yelled in unison, “Sister Xi is the best!”

Song Wenye retorted, “What about me?”

“Hurry up and go.” The disdain on the faces of her classmates was said enough. They jeered and waved their hands to hurry her off.

Song Wenye sniffled and indignantly clenched her fist as she stared them down. “Just you wait. I will bring home the trophy and open your eyes to who is the best.”

She then turned to leave without looking back. However, her eyes welled up when her back was against them.

Shen Xi went down with her to see her off.

Song Wenye took a few steps but realized no one came after her apart from Shen Xi. Not bold enough to turn back, she apprehensively asked, “Did they come along?”

Shen Xi shook her head, “No.”

Feeling upset, Song Wenye clicked her tongue and ripped into them. “Ingrates.”

Holding back any judgment, Shen Xi grinned and quietly accompanied her down the stairs.

Song Wenye would not be back for at least a few days once she was gone. She would be back for the exams, but the classrooms would be made into exam rooms by then.

There was a possibility that they would not be in the same exam room or have any more time to fool around in class together like now.

Song Wenye was sulking that no one cared to see her off. After walking to the ground floor, she could not help but look up to her class. With not even a head popping out of the classroom door, she turned to storm off.

Shen Xi stood there and urged her, “Let us know once you’re there and settled.”

Song Wenye briefly acknowledged without turning back. She raised her arm to wave goodbye.

Without hesitation, Song Wenye took large strides ahead when suddenly a voice cried out to her as she was crossing the main road. A collective voice was shouting loud and clear.

She turned her head to the source of the noise to find the group assembling at the door. They were crazily ruffling a banner with her name as if afraid she might miss it. They yelled at the top of their lungs, “Song Wenye, you can do it!”

Having lost control over her feelings, the waterworks just came crashing down on their own. Unable to muster up the courage to look back anymore, she resolutely stepped onto the journey that was hers alone.

Shen Xi remained at the school block and watched Song Wenye’s figure disappear out of sight before glancing at the group by the classroom door.

The group was bawling their eyes out. There was nothing to cry about. It was not as though they would not see each other again even after the entrance exam and going on their own paths.

“Stop crying,” Shen Xi shouted.

Amid the sniffles and teary eyes, they gazed at Shen Xi. Chu Ying, in particular, was sobbing really hard. She had already enrolled in a school and was going abroad right after the exams.

Many of the international class students were already registered to a school and most of them were going to study abroad.

It might not be a huge deal to other people, but it was to them. They were in their senior years and no longer freshmen. Even if there was a reunion, there was no telling if everyone could be accounted for.

Shen Xi agreed to see Yu Qiubai’s mother.

Yu Qiubai did not want to take her away from her studies. Hence, he waited until school was out before looking for Shen Xi, suggesting to her an initial assessment beforehand.

He took to the wheel.

Sitting in the backseat, Shen Xi engaged in a game on her phone instead of talking to Yu Qiubai.

Yu Qiubai broke the silence. “My mother’s not in the best mental state. She doesn’t have a great upbringing and had been working in a bar before she met my dad.

“You should know that the high-up society tends to only approve of unions between their equal social class. They’d never allow someone of my mom’s status to marry into the family.

“My granddad opposed my dad and mom from being together, but my dad loves her and would rather die than leave her. He had a falling-out with the family for her and left home to be with my mom.”

It never occurred to Shen Xi that Yu Qiubai would talk about this.. Without interjecting, she became a quiet listener.
