Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Sleeping Alone is So Boring

...

During Chen Long’s transformation into a "drunkard," his elder brother Yan Xiaobao was also up to no good, wholeheartedly persuading Xia Rou to drink.

Initially feeling a vague discomfort due to Han Ruobing’s appearance, Xia Rou seemed to forget that minor unease after Zhao Erhu and the others changed the topic, gradually lifting her spirits again.

After all, being invited by Zhang Hongde to join the Binhai Medical University Special Expert Group today was genuinely something worth celebrating.

At Zheng Xiaoyu’s invitation, Xia Rou and she started singing songs together, back and forth.

They became increasingly cheerful, increasingly excited, and increasingly thirsty...

Eventually, Yan Xiaobao’s devious plan paid off, and Xia Rou ended up so tipsy that her steps were unsteady and her spirit floating. Her pretty face was flushed with a rosy hue, making her even more enchanting and attractive.

Seeing Xia Rou had gotten a bit drunk and noticing Yan Xiaobao’s overtly predatory, malicious intent, Zheng Xiaoyu stood up and advised, "Sister Xia Rou, it’s getting late. We’ve had plenty of fun tonight; you should go home and get some rest."

"It’s only eleven o’clock; it’s still early." Yan Xiaobao felt Xia Rou’s drunkenness was not yet deep enough and objected, "We haven’t finished all this wine yet."

"All this wine? You want Sister Xia Rou completely drunk so you can mess around, don’t you?" Zheng Xiaoyu shot a glare at Yan Xiaobao and continued protecting Xia Rou, "Sister Xia Rou, you still need to see Dean Zhang tomorrow to handle the expert appointment procedures."

When Xia Rou heard Zheng Xiaoyu mention important business, she immediately sobered up halfway and insisted on going home.

Yan Xiaobao had no choice but to reluctantly watch his opportunity slip away again.

As soon as they stepped out of the private room, the waiter waiting outside promptly informed Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu hurriedly came out to escort them, personally driving Yan Xiaobao and Xia Rou back to their doorstep.

"Brother Bao, take care and rest early. If you ever need anything, just give me a call anytime."

Looking at the attentive Zhao Erhu, Yan Xiaobao’s impression of him improved slightly; he thought taking him on as a little brother might not be a bad idea—at least he’d have someone to drive him around in the future.

Xia Rou, who had sobered up slightly inside the private room, felt a little disoriented again after cooling off in the car and catching a bit of the night breeze.

"Rourou, let me carry you upstairs." Without waiting for her response, Yan Xiaobao scooped Xia Rou up by the waist.

Weak-limbed and dizzy, Xia Rou leaned against Yan Xiaobao’s embrace, finding a sliver of comfort, so she didn’t resist.

"So fragrant... so soft..." Yan Xiaobao inhaled Xia Rou’s faint scent, tightly holding onto her, feeling the softness and bounce of her body, his face full of pleasure.

They went upstairs, entered, turned on the lights, and Yan Xiaobao directly laid Xia Rou down on the bed. Just as he was ready to steal a kiss, Xia Rou swiftly scrambled off the bed, darted into her bedroom to grab some clothes, and slipped into the bathroom.

"Rourou, why did you suddenly sober up?" Yan Xiaobao was visibly frustrated.

"If I didn’t sober up, you’d bully me!" Xia Rou chuckled slyly from the bathroom, "How could I not sober up?"

"..." Yan Xiaobao was speechless.

Tonight’s plan was an utter failure. He even drank all that beer for no reason... Not that beer was an issue for him—he didn’t really care for its taste. What he truly loved drinking was the Flowers Wine handcrafted by Heavenly Sister.

"Sleeping alone is so boring..." Yan Xiaobao muttered discontentedly.

Before coming to Binhai, he had never slept alone. When he was still on the island, Heavenly Sister always accompanied him tenderly.

"If you don’t want to sleep alone, why don’t you go find Bingbing or your reserve concubine?" Xia Rou’s voice mingled with the sound of running water, spilling through the bathroom door.

Yan Xiaobao thought about it but eventually decided against it. Bingbing was working the night shift tonight, and even if she weren’t, she might not be willing to share a bed with him. As for the reserve concubine, Ye Shanshan, she would likely agree, but Yan Xiaobao now dismissed her for not being pretty enough and didn’t want her company.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaobao was highly skilled at adjusting his mood. Standing guard outside the bathroom door while waiting for Xia Rou to emerge in her nightgown gave him visual satisfaction, and the frustration in his heart gradually faded away.

Since he was destined to sleep alone in an empty room, he might as well focus on cultivation.

Yan Xiaobao crossed his legs and began practicing the techniques Heavenly Sister had taught him. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Heavenly Sister had suffered severe internal injuries before and still required him to reach higher cultivation levels as soon as possible to heal her wounds.

...

The next morning, after handling a few matters at Dexi Hall, Xia Rou went to Binhai Medical University to complete her appointment procedures with Zhang Hongde.

Not seeing Chen Long, Yan Xiaobao casually asked, "Did Xiao Chong not come today?"

"He’s Brother Long now; how could he still be doing odd jobs in our tiny shop?" Zheng Xiaoyu snorted disdainfully.

Yan Xiaobao didn’t respond; he wasn’t at all interested in such matters.

"Yan Xiaobao, are you seriously letting Chen Long hang out with Zhao Erhu and those guys? They’re just street thugs!" Zheng Xiaoyu grumbled again disapprovingly.

"What’s the big deal?" Yan Xiaobao replied indifferently.

"Fine, do as you please—it’s none of my business anyway." Zheng Xiaoyu huffed and turned away, choosing not to engage further.

...

When Xia Rou arrived at Binhai Medical University, she contacted Zhang Hongde over the phone.

Zhang Hongde already had the employment contract prepared, and the entire process went smoothly, taking just over ten minutes to wrap up.

Xia Rou thus became the youngest member of the Binhai Medical University Special Expert Group.

"Come, I’ll show you around to familiarize yourself with the environment." To ensure Xia Rou’s onboarding went well, Zhang Hongde had deliberately cleared half his day’s schedule to lay the groundwork mainly for maintaining a good relationship with Yan Xiaobao.

Just as they stepped out of the dean’s office, Zhang Hongde’s phone rang.

"What! Li Desheng’s only son is critically ill?" Zhang Hongde exclaimed in shock, immediately making arrangements: "Inform the expert group’s on-call doctors to rush over at once—I’ll head there right away."

Li Desheng was the founder and chairman of Desheng Group, overseeing multiple publicly listed companies and boasting personal wealth in the billions, ranking among Binhai City’s top five richest individuals. He also carried significant influence and was actively involved in philanthropy, donating over a million worth of medical equipment annually to Binhai Medical University and Fu’er Hospital.

[Note: Regarding Li Desheng’s name, the original name was "Li Desheng," but the system couldn’t render it correctly, so it was changed to "Li Desheng."

Zhang Hongde left no room for carelessness.

After Zhang Hongde hung up the phone, Xia Rou quickly remarked, "Dean Zhang, you should handle your urgent matters first."

Walking briskly, Zhang Hongde invited Xia Rou, "I hadn’t expected your first day as a member of the expert group to coincide with an emergency. Come along with me to check it out."

Without delay, Zhang Hongde swiftly led Xia Rou to the Fu’er Hospital emergency department office at Binhai Medical University.

Emergency Department Head Sun Jianqiang and Special Expert Group Professor Huang had already arrived ahead of time and were discussing the case with several other doctors.

"What’s the situation?" Zhang Hongde queried.
