Shen Zhao was forced to stay in school. She had no objection to this. The only solution was to rank in the top 200 in the grade in the next exam, which was a very easy thing for her.

Xu Ke didn't need to stay in school. She originally wanted to stay to accompany Shen Zhao. After all, Shen Zhao hadn't returned to school for a long time. She felt that she should stay by her side so that she could get familiar with the school. However, Shen Zhao rejected her request on the grounds that the schedule in the third year of high school was tight and there was no need for Xu Ke to stay to accompany her.

There are more than 500 students in the whole grade, and their class is considered to be one of the better students in the grade. So when Shen Zhao returned to the classroom after dinner, there were only about ten students left in the class. What surprised Shen Zhao was that Lu Siming did not go home, but stayed in the class. His seat was near the back door, and was very eye-catching among a pile of empty tables and chairs. When Shen Zhao entered from the back door, he could see the back of his head at a glance. He was leaning over the table, writing something, and turned his head as if he sensed something.

Caught off guard, Shen Zhao had no time to dodge and their eyes met.

Shen Zhao didn't feel anything at first, but when she thought of Ma Shuyi's words and Lu Siming's unreserved gaze at this time, she suddenly felt a little unnatural. She scratched her nose with her hand, silently looked away, and then walked straight to her seat.

But it was obvious that Lu Siming did not want to let Shen Zhao go so easily. He suddenly stood up from his seat and blocked Shen Zhao's way with a few steps.

Shen Zhao raised his eyelids slightly, the corners of his mouth turned down, and there was a coldness around him that he had never felt before. "What are you doing?"

Lu Siming noticed other students whispering to each other. He pursed his lips and asked, "Can I have a word with you?"

Shen Zhao also knew that the classroom was not a good place to talk, so after a moment of hesitation, he agreed to Lu Siming's request.

The two of them left the classroom one after another. Shen Zhao followed Lu Siming, keeping a distance of a few steps, neither too far nor too close, until Lu Siming stopped in a garden behind the laboratory building. He turned around and stared at Shen Zhao who was standing a few steps away with burning eyes.

Shen Zhao naturally knew that this was the most quiet place in Deyan. It was surrounded by trees, with ripples on the pond. The koi in the pond were plump and no longer the small fry they used to be. Many students would recite their lessons here in the morning. Some of the more avant-garde ones even regarded this place as a dating spot. She also liked to come here early in the morning before, but after that incident, she came less often.

Coming here after so many years, she felt a little dazed. She didn't know how many stories Shen Zhaoyuan had with Lu Siming, and now she didn't want to know. She just wanted to keep a distance from him.

Seeing that there was no one around, she glanced at him coldly and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

When Lu Siming heard this, a flash of pain flashed across his eyes, and he explained in a somewhat anxious manner, "Are you still blaming me for not helping you that day? But I hope you can understand that if I hadn't done that that day, Xu Yaoyao and the others would have gotten even worse. When I have enough ability, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice!"

Shen Zhao was stunned. It seemed that she had underestimated the relationship between Lu Siming and his original body. They were definitely not just classmates. She frowned and hardened her heart. "Student Lu Siming, you and I have nothing to do with each other. So, please keep your distance from me in the future. Even if we really had misunderstandings before, I don't care now."

After saying that, Shen Zhao looked at the incredible expression on Lu Siming's face, and cursed herself secretly. Was she too decisive? But it is better to suffer for a short time than to suffer for a lifetime. It is best for him to recognize the facts as soon as possible. There is still a vast world waiting for him to play in the future. Why should he indulge in a temporary love affair? After all, the girl he likes may no longer be here. She is not as lucky as herself.

Shen Zhao hesitated for a moment, "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first. I have to go back to evening self-study."

Seeing Lu Siming lowering his head and not responding, she didn't want to stay any longer and turned around to go back, but at that moment, her wrist was forcibly clamped. She struggled and found that she couldn't get free, so she simply gave up, "Why are you doing this? After all, we are from different worlds. I have thought it through before I go back."

"No, you don't know! How could you say such a thing? You said you would go to the same university with me. To this end, you practiced hard, hoping to get good grades in the special exam. I will also work hard in the liberal arts subjects. We will definitely be able to get into the same university! Are you going to break your promise?" Lu Siming's voice, with the unique hoarseness of a young man in the voice change period, was full of accusations in every word, and each word hit Shen Zhao's heart.

So that's it. Shen Zhao pursed her lips. She was no longer that "her". She couldn't respond to him. She suppressed the tenderness in her heart. She turned around, her voice became colder, but her words became more serious. "Lu Siming, please listen to my advice. It's impossible for us to be together. You and I are not from the same world. Even if I really get into the same university as you, what about graduation? You will inherit the family business, but I am just an orphan. There is a huge gap between us. We are destined to be impossible to be together."

Lu Siming's eyes were slightly red, and there were horrible bloodshot veins spreading from the whites of his eyes. He glared at her with bloodshot eyes and could not utter a word.

Shen Zhao felt the hands that were holding her loosen a little. She struggled to break free, turned around and ran in the opposite direction. She was afraid to see the injury and pain of this young man again. It was good this way. Let all the painful experiences remain at this moment. After a while, it will become history and will not hurt the boy at all.

Shen Zhao walked in a hurry and did not notice the figure passing by in the experimental building. The place he was facing happened to be where Shen Zhao and Lu Siming had the argument.

After Shen Zhao ran away, she did not return to the classroom immediately. Instead, she followed her memory and found the school library. Deyan's library was open until nine o'clock in the evening, which was just right for the review of senior high school students. She picked out a stack of test papers from it, brought them to the librarian, and placed them heavily on the counter. "Here."

The librarian raised an eyebrow and put down the book in his hand. "Are you sure you want so many? The books here can only be borrowed for two weeks."

He kindly reminded Shen Zhao that after all, if the work could not be completed within two weeks, it would have to be returned, so it would be better to borrow less at the beginning to save the trouble.

Shen Zhao raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, I'll just borrow that much."

Seeing that Shen Zhao was determined to do what he wanted, the administrator did not try to persuade him any more. He scanned the label on the back of the test paper with a scanner, registered Shen Zhao's student ID card, and then piled the test paper aside.

When Shen Zhao wanted to take it away, the administrator said, "Wait,"

He bent down, took out a cardboard box from the cabinet, and put the stack of papers in it. "It will be easier to carry this way."

"thank you."

Shen Zhao walked out holding the cardboard box. As he left, he glanced at the administrator a few more times. He had already sat down and picked up the book he had just put down and started reading again. In the past, Deyan's librarians were members of the Student Union who took turns working on the job. I don't know if this is still the management system now.

After Shen Zhao returned to the classroom, she found that there were even fewer people inside. She couldn't help but look at Lu Siming's seat. Sure enough, he did not stay any longer for her, and his desk was unusually clean. The young man who had been leaning over the desk and writing something before was like a phantom, waking up from a dream, leaving nothing behind.

Such a result made her feel relieved.

The sun had already set, and the remaining sunlight in the sky slowly dissipated, replaced by endless darkness. Shen Zhao gently placed the cardboard box on the table, took out a copy from it and began to practice questions.

A loud noise in the sky pulled Shen Zhao out of her meditation session. She frowned and looked up at the sky, where there was a dark cloud. It seemed that God was not helping her. Although she knew that with her current ability, she would not be able to find the lake in one or two days, if it rained, many traces would be destroyed, and it might be even more difficult for her to find "herself" later. Besides, there was not enough time to file a missing person case. As Shen Zhao, who had no contact with Sheng Baiyi, reporting the case would only put her in danger. Those people had not surfaced yet!

As expected, with bursts of thunder, the rain began to hit the windows, making crackling sounds, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Other students were complaining that they should not stay behind to study and had to stay in school, while Shen Zhao looked unhappy and no longer in the mood to do exercises.

On the other hand, the servants in the manor were busy and exhausted, especially Lin Han.

For some unknown reason, Mu Yanchen, who had already fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the medicine, suddenly developed a physical condition. He felt unbearable pain all over his body and broke out in cold sweat. It was his uncontrollable groans that caught Lin Han's attention. When Lin Han rushed into the bedroom, he found that Mu Yanchen had fallen off the bed and fainted on the ground. His eyes were tightly closed, his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, his face was hideous and pale, his teeth were biting his lips tightly, leaving a bright red mark, and dried blood was flowing beside him.

He lay exhausted on the ground in an unimaginable and mysterious posture. After Lin Han carried him back to the bed, he immediately contacted his private doctor Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing was awakened from his sleep in the middle of the night. He rushed to the manor without stopping in the heavy rain, and went to Mu Yanchen's bedroom carrying his medicine box.

"Zhao Qing, hurry up, Mu Yanchen might be sick, and this time the symptoms are weirder than before."

"Hey, I'm here now, take off his clothes."

Lin Han did as she was told. Mu Yanchen took off his pajamas, revealing a skinny body. His skeleton was in perfect proportions, with almost no skin sticking to the bones. The inside seemed empty, and there was a tendency for the skin to continue to deteriorate. It was shocking. I wonder how Mu Yanchen managed to survive until now with this broken body?

But now is not the time to sigh. Lin Han signaled to Zhao Qing beside him. Zhao Qing, regardless of the rain and sweat on his face, opened the medicine box, took out the silver needles inside, and skillfully poked several key acupuncture points on Mu Yanchen's body.

Seeing that Mu Yanchen's state of anxiety and cold sweat had calmed down, Lin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least Mu Yanchen had survived this stage.

The silver needle was still stuck in Mu Yanchen's body and could not be removed for the time being, but the bedroom was not a place to talk after all. Lin Han signaled Zhao Qing to go to the study, where he could avoid disturbing Mu Yanchen's rest and could also monitor Mu Yanchen's condition in bed.

The door of the study was tightly closed. Lin Han sat on the sofa with a serious expression.

"Zhao Qing, tell me honestly, with your ability, can you save Mu Yanchen?"

Zhao Qing was the same. He lowered his head and said slowly, "No, with my ability, I can only stabilize his condition at the moment, but it is only temporary. You can see that his body is getting worse day by day. If he doesn't find someone more capable than me, or medicine, he probably won't live for more than three years."

Lin Han closed his eyes heavily, his pupils filled with pain. He had never thought that a man as brilliant as Mu Yanchen would perish in such a way. It all seemed like a gamble with his life.

Zhao Qing is already the best doctor they have met in these years. He is the direct descendant of the Huadan Acupuncture School. It was because of Mu Yanchen's relationship that he was able to return to his ancestral home. Therefore, Zhao Qing has been serving as Mu Yanchen's family doctor and has never regretted it.

"Then in your opinion, who can save Mu Yanchen now?"

Zhao Qing pondered for a moment, "Sheng Baiyi, I guess if it's her, there's still a glimmer of hope."

Lin Han was surprised. In his impression, Sheng Baiyi was just a good drug researcher. His other talents were not mentioned in the information. "Why do you say that? You can't just say that. You know what Sheng Baiyi means to Mu Yanchen, right?"

Sheng Baiyi is not only a great drug researcher, but also Xiao Yi's girlfriend. She is neither an enemy nor a friend. Her status is so awkward. Moreover, Sheng Baiyi has never known what Mu Yanchen is thinking...

Besides, Mu Yanchen’s condition cannot be made known to others casually.

Zhao Qing glanced at Lin Han and sat down, as if recalling something from the past. "You may not know, but before I met Mu Yanchen, I had the honor of seeing Sheng Baiyi saving someone. At that time, I didn't even know the girl's name. It was a dying child, and I was there too, but I was helpless. I don't know what method she used, but the child's breathing became smoother and gradually improved, at least until the ambulance arrived. I was so excited at the time, but when I wanted to ask the girl for advice, she had already left. When I ran into her again, she was already working at the research institute."

"So, I took the liberty of guessing that maybe Sheng Baiyi has a way!"

Lin Han felt her heart skip a beat. "You're right. She not only has medical skills, she is also involved in the development of a new drug, and Mu Yanchen might be able to use it."

"Really?" Zhao Qing stood up excitedly. He had never heard them talk about new drug development. "Then why don't we find her quickly? Maybe Mu Yanchen can be saved!"

This was one of the most difficult tasks Lin Han had received recently. At such a critical moment, news came from Xinrui Pharmaceuticals that Sheng Baiyi had stolen the new drug research results and absconded. Although the news was blocked, there was no news about Sheng Baiyi at this time. He sent many people out to look for him, but nothing was found after more than a day.
