"Look at this."
Zhao Chu handed over the receipt of the application with full expectations, thinking that Liu Qian would surely be moved, touched by all he gave up for her.
"Let's break up." Liu Qian didn't take it.
"Break up? Why?" Zhao Chu was baffled.
A tall and handsome guy, dressed in all branded clothes, walked over from the staircase.
His name is Yin Haojie, the president of the student council, a top student, and also a rich second generation. He's the Prince Charming in the eyes of many girls at Yu-Hai Medical University.
"Why? You should first ask yourself what you have. It wouldn't matter if your family were poor, but your hardworking parents paid for your university fees, and what's the result? You failed to even get an internship at the affiliated hospital. You've disappointed your hard-working parents, lost the future, and you, such a loser, don't deserve love!"
"The opportunity to intern at the affiliated hospital, I gave it up for you!" Zhao Chu stared deeply at Liu Qian, his hand with the receipt shivering.
"I heard some idiot voluntarily gave up the internship at the affiliated hospital, so I helped Liu Qian secure it. With the opportunity to intern at the affiliated hospital, Liu Qian will surely be kept on. In the future, she will become the head doctor at the affiliated hospital. And you, even if you are extremely lucky, will at most become a small town clinic doctor. Do you think a head doctor of a nationally known top-ranked hospital will marry a small town clinic doctor? Don't be naive, idiot!” Yin Haojie looked very pleased.
"Is this what you think?" Zhao Chu was not willing to give in, he wanted to hear Liu Qian's answer.
"There's no future with an idiot." Liu Qian said.
"One year of relationship, don't you have any regrets? Every year, the school only offers ten internships at the affiliated hospital, and for you, I voluntarily applied to give it up. Didn't you feel moved at all?" Zhao Chu thought Liu Qian must have been bewitched, deep down in her heart, she must still love him.
"Moved? I just think you're stupid. A man so stupid to even give up his future isn't worth entrusting my life to. Besides, I've never loved you, I've never even liked you."
Liu Qian finished speaking, embraced Yin Haojie and kissed him on the lips right in front of Zhao Chu.
They had been in a relationship for a year and the furthest they'd ever gotten was holding hands. Liu Qian always said she's very traditional and would save the best for the wedding night, her first kiss, she would keep until the day she and Zhao Chu became engaged.
At this moment, she voluntarily kissed Yin Haojie, demonstrating to Zhao Chu in actions that she had never had feelings for him.
"You slut!"
Zhao Chu was furious, unable to restrain his anger. He, who usually had to lower his voice when speaking in front of Liu Qian, shockingly started to call her a slut.
"You dare curse at my girlfriend?"
Yin Haojie rushed forward and kicked Zhao Chu squarely in the gut. Having trained in Taekwondo, he applied a tremendous amount of force with that kick. Zhao Chu was pushed backward, tripping over a staircase. He fell backward off the edge, tumbling down the embankment.
"Thud!"
Zhao Chu landed on the concrete ground behind the main teaching building, motionless. He was likely dead.
"What should we do next? I only intended to teach him a lesson and keep him away from you," Yin Haojie trembled in fear. His family might be influential, but it would be hard to cover up causing a death in the school.
"If I don't leak it, and you don't either, no one will know. If they trace it back to us, I'll say that I broke up with him and then left. He must have been distraught and thus chose to jump."
Liu Qian pulled a stack of love letters from her bag, initially intended to give them all back when they broke up. These were letters Zhao Chu had written to her during their relationship. She, however, had never responded to any.
"We will mimic his handwriting and write a suicide note."
Liu Qian took out a pen and paper and began to write.
"Having lost love, I've lost everything. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I will be filial to you in my next life."
Not only was the handwriting modeled after Zhao Chu's, but even the tone resembled that in his usual love letters to Liu Qian.
While Zhao Chu's head didn't split open due to the fall, the jade pendant he had worn around his neck since birth, a family heirloom, shattered. A wisp of blue smoke floated out from the fragments of the jade pendant and slipped into his body.
In a fuzzy state of mind, Zhao Chu saw a figure in a white robe, his hair and beard both white. The figure was an elder, embodying a sense of transcendent elegance and wisdom. He said, "I am Wu Xu zi, a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren. Since we are destined to meet, I will accept you as my apprentice and bestow upon you my life's knowledge of medicine. You are to help the world and support justice!"
Suddenly Zhao Chu's mind buzzed, as a mass of information forced itself in. His body also started changing, his broken arm and leg had completely reconnected. There was a surge of energy flowing through his body.
The open space behind the main school building was a dead-end, rarely visited.
Liu Qian stationed Yin Haojie at the entrance. She walked up to Zhao Chu with a forged suicidal note and stealthily tucked it into his pocket.
Although Zhao Chu couldn't move or wake up, he could feel Liu Qian placing something in his pocket.
"Should we call the ambulance?"
Once Liu Qian had placed the suicide note, Yin Haojie tried to divert attention.
"Let's not invite more trouble. We should leave quickly, pretending we know nothing. Though students rarely come here, there's a tool shed nearby. The janitor comes there every night to pick up her tools. If she finds Zhao Chu's body, she'll naturally call the police," Liu Qian remained collected.
Yin Haojie and Liu Qian left, without calling for an ambulance.
Having accidentally kicked myself off the parapet was an unintentional mistake. But now having the gall to not even call for help when I'm still alive is thoughtless.
Finally, the surging energy calmed down, waking Zhao Chu.
His body had completely recovered. To be precise, his health was a hundred times better than it had been before falling off the rooftop.
"What did she tuck into my pocket?"
Zhao Chu reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the suicidal note that Liu Qian had forged.
"No substance is deadlier than the heart of a woman. I really misjudged that bitch before! She schemed with her lover to rob me of my internship opportunity, endangering my life, and then framed it all as a suicide due to a broken heart.
To commit suicide for such a bitch, do they think I'm an idiot?
I really was quite the fool then. She said she was afraid that if I interned at the First Affiliated Hospital and then got retained, ultimately soaring to success, I would abandon her.
In order to prove my sincere feelings for her, I was foolish enough to submit an application, voluntarily giving up all internship opportunities that every medical graduate dreams of.
I must retrieve the opportunity for an internship. Everything that was taken from me must be doubled in return!
Zhao Chu's gaze was incredibly resolute.
Already he was no longer the former weak and useless Zhao Chu, led by the nose by a woman. He had received the true lineage of medicine from Wu Xu, and hence, he was now the divine healer, Zhao Chu.
