Chapter 150: Magnanimous Xu Shaochen

“Xu Shaochen, don’t be afraid. This is his own doing. He wanted to harm you but ended up hurting himself.”

“Exactly, that’s karma. I was wondering why he suddenly rushed under the basket—turns out it was for this sneaky plan.”

“Damn, he’s even worse than those Japanese players! How can someone like him deserve to live?”

The students from the Physical Education Department unanimously voiced their disdain for Zhang Qingsong, consoling Xu Shaochen.

“He… he did it on purpose! He tricked you all!”

Zhang Qingsong gritted his teeth and snarled. How could someone be so shameless in this world?

“You’re still denying it? Do you think we’re all blind? We were right there; how could we not see clearly?”

“Exactly! I think you’ve gone mad, being capable of something like that!”

“I saw you stretch your leg over with my own eyes…”

Zhang Qingsong’s attempt to explain only fueled the crowd’s anger; they felt he was insulting their intelligence.

Zhang Qingsong was speechless. He was desperate. His heart felt like it was cursing fate.

“This will be reported to the entire school. He will receive a major demerit!”

A vice-principal with a dark expression coldly announced. The principal had already left, so his word was final here.

If it weren’t for Zhang Qingsong’s youth and the desire to give him another chance,

he would have been expelled outright for his malicious behavior.

“That’s so wicked. I can’t believe he did something like this. And he’s even the Vice President of the Student Council? I spit on that.”

“Exactly! He must be jealous that Xu Shaochen stole Xie Wei as his girlfriend. He’s always had a crush on her.”

“He’s been targeting Xu Shaochen in class for a long time, but Xu Shaochen, being the bigger man, never made a fuss. I didn’t expect him to escalate his actions now.”

Instantly, Zhang Qingsong was condemned by everyone, their gazes filled with disdain and disgust.

“I… pfft—!”

Overwhelmed by anger, Zhang Qingsong spat out a mouthful of blood and then passed out.

“Quick! Call 120! Even though he tried to harm me, he’s still a classmate. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him, or I’ll never forgive myself in this lifetime.”

Xu Shaochen shouted loudly, his face filled with urgency, his voice firm.

Seeing this, everyone was moved by Xu Shaochen’s magnanimous heart.

“Junior Xu Shaochen is so generous, forgiving that scumbag even after this.”

“Yes, but it’s this kindness that makes that scumbag seem even more despicable.”

“Boohoo, I’m so touched. I love Senior Shaochen so much. Why does he already have a girlfriend?”

In this way, Xu Shaochen gained even more popularity, becoming Jiangzhou University’s national boyfriend—a final contribution from Zhang Qingsong.

Zhang Qingsong was taken to the hospital.

After such an incident, the basketball match couldn’t continue and ended abruptly.

“Are you okay? That Zhang Qingsong is really evil.”

Xie Wei clutched Xu Shaochen’s arm, gritting her teeth in worry.

“I’m fine.”

Xu Shaochen gently rubbed her head.

To be honest, if Zhang Qingsong hadn’t gone mad and tried to cripple him, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have even bothered with him.

Because just like a lion that won’t bother with a fly’s provocation, at most, he’d swat it away in annoyance.

But this time, Zhang Qingsong crossed the line, and that was something Xu Shaochen simply couldn’t tolerate.

He doesn’t start fights, but if anyone tries to harm him, he’ll strike back without mercy.

“Mhm, as long as you’re fine. I was so worried.”

Xie Wei breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, causing a wave that nearly blinded Xu Shaochen.

“Let’s go. Accompany me to the hospital.”

Xu Shaochen retracted his gaze and said.

“Aren’t you fine? Were you lying to me earlier? Where are you hurt?” Xie Wei instantly became tense again, her face going pale.

Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but laugh: “My mom is having surgery today, so I need to go to the hospital.”

“Oh, thank goodness. You scared me.”

Xie Wei let out a long breath of relief but immediately felt her heart race again. Did this count as meeting the parents? After informing Zhao Qingyu, Xu Shaochen took Xie Wei to the hospital.

………

“Mr. Xu, you’re just in time. The surgery is about to begin.”

At the hospital room door, Xu Shaochen encountered Dean Fu, who had just stepped out.

It was clear that Dean Fu was very attentive to Xu Shaochen’s mother’s surgery.

“Thank you so much, Dean Fu. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Xu Shaochen gave him a grateful smile. After all, it’s important to repay kindness.

Fu Zhengyi was internally excited by these words but remained polite outwardly: “This is nothing; it’s what I should do. You should check on your mother—she’s about to be taken to the operating room.”

“Alright.”

Xu Shaochen nodded and then led Xie Wei into the hospital room.

“Mom, how are you feeling?”

Xu Shaochen asked, looking at the bed-bound Li Xiaoli.

“Xiaochen, you’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t be at ease with this surgery.”

Seeing her son, Li Xiaoli seemed to finally relax.

“Mom, don’t worry. Medical technology is very advanced now, so there’s nothing to be concerned about with your surgery.”

Xu Shaochen sat by the bed and held his mother’s hand. These words were, of course, meant to comfort her, as there’s always some risk with any surgery.

“I’m not really worried. It’s just that…” Li Xiaoli paused mid-sentence when she noticed Xie Wei: “Who’s this young lady?”

“Hello, Auntie. I’m Shaochen’s girlfriend. My name is Xie Wei.”

Xie Wei quickly stepped forward, greeting her politely.

“Oh, this young lady is wonderful—Shaochen, you better not bully her!”

Li Xiaoli’s face instantly brightened upon hearing this. As a mother, she couldn’t wait for her son to bring home a daughter-in-law.

Last time, when she found out Zhao Qingyu was just Xu Shaochen’s teacher and not his girlfriend, she had been disappointed. Now, she was finally at ease.

Hearing this, Xie Wei blushed and glanced at Xu Shaochen, then said, “Auntie, Shaochen treats me very well. He spoils me in everything.”

Well, except for when they’re in bed.

“Mr. Xu, your mother should be prepared to go into the operating room.”

Just then, several nurses entered, respectfully addressing Xu Shaochen.

“Thank you, nurses. I’ll leave her in your hands.”

Xu Shaochen smiled warmly and then nodded reassuringly at his mother while stepping aside with Xie Wei.

“Mr. Xu, you’re too kind. This is just our duty.”

A moment later, the nurses wheeled Li Xiaoli toward the operating room.

Xu Shaochen and Xie Wei followed, stopping at the door of the operating room.

Although Xu Shaochen kept telling his mom not to worry, wasn’t he just comforting himself?

After all, even an appendectomy has its risks. There’s no such thing as a 100% safe surgery in this world.

Even if it’s only a 0.1% risk, Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
