My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Hao Shuai Is Rescued

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in someone’s house. Soon, a young lady came over, holding a steaming bowl of medicine.

"Sir, you’re awake! I’ve made this medicinal soup for you, please drink it,"

the young lady said gently.

At this moment, Hao Shuai opened his bleary eyes and saw that the person was a beautiful woman.

Her name was Wang Xue, and she was the daughter of Wang Yu, the Medicine King.

Today, while Wang Xue was collecting herbs on the mountain, she discovered Hao Shuai unconscious in the grass and rescued him.

"Miss, how did I end up here?"

Hao Shuai knew he was severely injured, but now he felt much better. It must be thanks to this young lady’s treatment, so he thought it would be a good chance to rest for a while.

"When I was collecting herbs on the mountain today, I found you lying in the grass. By the way, what happened? You seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries. If I hadn’t learned about various herbs from my father since childhood, I wouldn’t have known how to treat you." Wang Xue said worriedly.

"Haha, thank you, Miss. May I ask your name? I shall repay your kindness someday," Hao Shuai spoke in a lofty manner to gain the young lady’s trust.

"Sir, my name is Wang Xue, but you can call me Xue’Er. No need to be too formal, as saving a life is more valuable than building a pagoda. Moreover, how could I stand by and watch you die?"

Wang Xue was a very kindhearted girl, so she couldn’t ignore someone’s life and death.

Little did she know that the one she saved was such a person. This is fate—two extremely different individuals meeting by chance. It’s destiny.

"Haha, Xue’Er, you are so kind and beautiful,"

These were Hao Shuai’s true feelings. He fell for Xue’Er at first sight and didn’t know why. She was simply the first woman who looked pleasing to him—being pretty was one aspect.

As the saying goes, "there’s a lid for every pot." Wang Xue was just Hao Shuai’s type.

And Wang Xue happened to really like Hao Shuai. Seeing his handsome appearance and witty conversation, she began to fall for him.

"Sir, you’re too kind. Your injuries won’t heal very quickly, so you should stay here to recuperate for a while. My father is away on business and will return in half a month. So I’m the only one here," Wang Xue said.

Upon hearing Wang Xue say she was alone, Hao Shuai started having bad thoughts. He had liked this girl from the start, and the thought of getting closer with her made him feel...

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai felt a bit feverish all over.

However, being severely injured, he couldn’t move recklessly and decided to recover first.

Xue’Er had learned a lot about pharmacology from her father and was quite skilled with medicines. Within a few days, Hao Shuai’s injuries gradually improved, and he finally could get out of bed.

"Xue’Er, I want to go for a walk and breathe some fresh air." After getting out of bed, Hao Shuai seized the opportunity to get closer to Wang Xue, seeing if he could take advantage of the situation.

Sure enough, Wang Xue had hardly ventured out into society, growing up entirely in this small house, leaving her very innocent and unaware of the world’s dangers.

Wang Xue willingly took Hao Shuai’s hand and joyfully led him out of the house.

In the next moment, Hao Shuai was stunned because what appeared before him was a quaint little wooden cabin, surrounded by various herbs drying in the sun. Not far away was a pond, and everywhere were fragrant flowers and grasses, like a Peach Blossom Spring.

These beautiful sceneries made people feel refreshed and Hao Shuai instantly felt very comfortable.

"By the way, Sir, what’s your name? I forgot to ask before," Xue’Er said a bit shyly.

For a moment, that slightly shy face made Hao Shuai swallow hard.

This was truly too beautiful, too tempting.

He really wanted to go over and embrace Xue’Er passionately, but this would terrify her, not unlike violence.

"I’m Hao Shuai," he did not hide his name as he found it unnecessary.

Before long, they arrived at a garden with various mountain herbs. The yard was extraordinarily quiet, and Xue’Er was picking flowers with a basket, dancing from time to time.

Hao Shuai sat on the side, observing this kind and beautiful girl, suddenly feeling a rush to abandon everything and stay with her. But it was just for a moment, and he soon came back to his senses.

This was when Hao Shuai remembered Chen Tianlong, who had caused him such misery, thus biting his lip and gazing at the sky.

"Chen Tianlong, I vow not to share heaven with you. Next time I see you, I will tear you to pieces."

After escaping from the Forbidden Land this time, Hao Shuai’s hatred for Chen Tianlong grew deeper.

"Shuai, what’s wrong?" Wang Xue noticed Hao Shuai seemed to be deep in thought and asked.

"Haha, nothing, I was just thinking about how Xue’Er could be so beautiful," Hao Shuai began to flatter Wang Xue.

Sure enough, Wang Xue’s cheeks flushed instantly, feeling shy and lowering her head, "Shuai, I’m not as good as you say."

"Really, Xue’Er is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen."

Hao Shuai intensified his effort, thinking to himself, "This chick is so easy to fool, getting her into bed seems only a matter of time."

With malicious thoughts in his mind, Hao Shuai felt this was indeed a blessing in disguise. Oh Chen Tianlong, you didn’t expect, did you? Even I have romantic encounters!

"Haha, all right then, Shuai. Let’s go back. I’ll cook for you. The dishes I make are my father’s favorites." Xue’Er felt that their flirtation was making her heart race, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, I’m hungry too. Let me taste Xue’Er’s cooking," Hao Shuai replied happily.

Then they both returned to the house, which was divided into three rooms—one for Wang Yu, one for Xue’Er, and the other a guest room.

Behind the house was a relatively smaller structure, equipped with a stove and many utensils and tableware, clearly indicating it was the kitchen.

"Shuai, you should rest in your room first. You’ve only just started to recover and haven’t fully recuperated yet, don’t overexert yourself." Xue’Er said with concern, "When I finish cooking, I’ll bring the meal to you."
