Chapter 777: Chapter 776: Clinging to the Powerful, There Is a Future
 

Du Luqing regretted that Wen Xin didn’t come to the medical school, but he still felt optimistic because he knew that as long as his master was there, Wen Xin would protect them, and that was enough.

Wen Xin returned to the Biology department. Before she could enter the Biological Laboratory building, a voice calling for her came from behind, and she stopped in her tracks.

“Sister Xin…” Diwu Qixian’s excited voice echoed through the entire corridor.

Diwu Qixian quickly ran up to Wen Xin’s side, grabbing her arm with some disbelief.

“Sister Xin, Sister Xin, it really is you! I thought you wouldn’t come back this year!”

Holding onto Wen Xin’s arm, Diwu Qixian hopped and skipped with excitement, and a few others who had come with her couldn’t help but laugh lightly at her behavior.

Hearing laughter from behind, she gradually calmed down and, holding Wen Xin’s arm, began to introduce her to the others.

“Sister Xin, these are all our classmates. We’re having group competition now, six people to a group. Here are our members; I specifically saved a spot for you. Now that you’re back, it’s really great. With you here, we won’t be bullied anymore.”

At this point, Diwu Qixian felt very aggrieved. Their group was already short-handed, and the class president had made things difficult for them, swapping out their materials and forcing them to change their project topic, which ultimately left them in last place.

“When you weren’t here, Sister Xin, I was bullied…”

Diwu Qixian recounted in detail how she had been bullied during this period of time to Wen Xin. When Wen Xin heard it all, a dangerous glint flashed through her beautiful eyes.

She lifted her hand and gently ruffled Diwu Qixian’s hair, her voice soft and reassuring, “It’s okay, I’m back now, aren’t I? If you need any materials, just go straight to the counselor and ask.”

After comforting Diwu Qixian for a while, Wen Xin looked up at the four other classmates and nodded gently, “Because of me, you suffered unfairly. Believe me, it won’t happen again.”

The other students probably knew about Wen Xin’s background and her relationship with the Biological Laboratory, so they didn’t doubt her words at all and nodded vigorously, feeling like they had latched onto a powerful ally.

In that case, had they also taken a shortcut?

“Are you all still busy with your experimental projects every day? Are you lacking any materials? I can help you bring some back…”

Wen Xin felt very sorry for the impact her absence had on them, and she wanted to make up for it as much as possible.

“No need, our new project doesn’t start until next week. Wen Xin, we just hope you can be involved in this project, our manpower is a bit short.”

A male student spoke with his head lowered, not daring to look into Wen Xin’s eyes. He found Wen Xin so beautiful that he would get distracted whenever he looked at her, which he didn’t think was a good thing.

“Okay, I will cooperate with you fully. You should have a group chat, right? If need be, have Qi Qian add me to the group.”

Wen Xin spoke with a calm tone. Since she was a member of the group, some things were her responsibility and she couldn’t shirk them.

“Alright, Sister Xin, are you going to class? We don’t have class today. Did you come back for something?”

Diwu Qixian was extremely delighted by Wen Xin’s return; her previous endurance and aspirations were all in anticipation of Wen Xin coming back to slap those people in the face, metaphorically speaking.

“I’m going to meet with the dean to officially end my leave of absence. I requested time off when I left, and now that I’m back, I need to inform him,” Wen Xin said.

“Since that’s the case, Sister Xin, you should go ahead. I’ll add you to the group chat in a bit. Don’t forget to accept the invitation,” Diwu Qixian said in a hurry, worried about Wen Xin’s time. She waved her off and reminded her one last time not to forget.

Wen Xin heard Diwu Qixian’s words as she was heading towards the Biological Laboratory administration building, and she raised her hand in acknowledgment.

All of Wen Xin’s actions were closely observed by Qian Piao. Although she was not from the biological department, her boyfriend was a sophomore in that department, so she had been frequently appearing there recently.

Previously, she had inquired about Wen Xin in the biological department. She heard that Wen Xin had not appeared at Jingda University for quite some time and didn’t expect that Wen Xin would return in just a few days.

Ever since Qian Piao was punished by Qian Meng for offending Wen Xin, she had harbored resentment towards her. However, knowing that she was no match for Wen Xin, she did not dare to take any rash action, but this did not mean she couldn’t use someone else to carry out her vendetta.

“Hey, Qian Piao, what are you skulking around here for? Do you want to ensure your family is completely driven out of the Qian family with another punishment? I’ll remind you once more, my Sister Xin is someone you cannot afford to offend. Don’t bother with your pointless scheming!”

“And just so you know, even Qian Meng wouldn’t dare to cross my uncle, so you better behave yourself,” Diwu Qixian added, her voice filled with smug satisfaction.

After finishing her taunt, Diwu Qixian laughed triumphantly. She didn’t understand why so many people wanted to cause trouble for Wen Xin, but she knew that Wen Xin was someone nobody could afford to provoke.

When lunchtime arrived, Wen Xin sat in the corridor between Beijing University’s physics department and the medical school, playing a game on her phone as she waited for Wen Huai and Xiao Mi.

Wen Xin originally wanted Xiao Mi to stay in her dormitory, but Xiao Mi declined, saying she preferred to live with someone from her own major so she could consult them if she didn’t understand something.

Wen Xin didn’t like making decisions for others, so since Xiao Mi wanted to live in the dormitory of the medical school, she respected her decision.

“Sister…” Wen Huai hurried over from nearby, his composure unaffected, and his heartbeat steady, not showing any signs of the exertion from his recent run.

Observing Wen Huai’s condition, Wen Xin couldn’t help but squint her eyes in surprise; she never expected Wen Huai’s physical stamina to have improved so much.

“What is it?” she asked.

“I came to tell you that I might not have time to join you for lunch. Our group needs to prepare for the competition project, and we are going to check out the new physics laboratory. Do you want to come with us?” Wen Huai inquired.

Wen Huai clearly saw the look of admiration in Wen Xin’s eyes, but he didn’t understand why she would feel that way about him.

“I’ll pass. Since you’re busy, go ahead and tend to your matters. I’ll bring Xiao Mi over later,” Wen Xin responded.

Tang Ming had informed Wen Xin about the physics competition, and she knew how tight the timeline was for this contest. She didn’t want to hold Wen Huai back, considering the significance of this physics event.

Just as Wen Xin bid farewell to Wen Huai, Xiao Mi also hurriedly approached from the direction of the medical school. She hesitated upon reaching Wen Xin, then slowly began to speak.
