Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: The Crane That Destroys Harmony

Huang He’s purpose for coming today was still deeply etched in his mind—revenge!

A week ago, losing in that classroom fight didn’t really matter much to Huang He; it was more about the physical torment he endured afterward.

At the time, Mr. Ma from the school’s medical office diagnosed it like this: No big deal, just two bruises and some exhaustion. We checked him twice and found that the patient was just mentally fatigued. More rest would do, no need for hospitalization, just take some tonic.

Quack! Complete quack!

What do you mean "no big deal"? What do you mean "except for bruises and fatigue"? It’s all bullshit!

If that were true, then Huang He wouldn’t be experiencing weakness, cold sweat, a racing heart daily, and while there wasn’t any pain, every time it happened, Huang He was genuinely afraid of suddenly dying in bed.

The thought of sudden death terrified Huang He for no reason. He feared he’d die without sleeping with enough women or spending enough money.

So, in the following days, Huang He ran to all major hospitals in Kanyue City, seeking specialist doctors to conduct all kinds of examinations.

The difficulty of getting an appointment with a specialist at a major hospital in Kanyue City is something everyone on the Celestial Dragon Continent knows. You either need power or influence. Otherwise, why do people say it’s hard to see a doctor?

However, the number of specialists he’s seen these days is truly overwhelming, sometimes two to three in a day, just to find out what’s wrong with his body. He underwent numerous blood and urine tests, yet nothing definitive came up.

But there was an upside; over the days, the feelings gradually subsided, and by the end, disappeared entirely, leaving him healthy again.

Huang He didn’t know why, but he ultimately blamed Lin Tian and Li, those two bastards.

No matter what, this revenge must be carried out!

Actually, Huang He wasn’t wrong in his blame; the reason he felt that way was due to the hidden force Lin Tian had left in his body. Nonetheless, it was relatively mild; if it had been more severe, he would have ended up like Wang Sijing, who was tortured daily to the point of wishing for death.

In terms of resentment, Huang He couldn’t surpass Wang Sijing, but his vengeful nature couldn’t swallow this.

Therefore, today, Huang He’s temper was comparable to a powder keg, in temperament, not in power.

Confronted with Lin Tian’s taunts, Huang He let out a heavy humph and acted as if he didn’t hear anything.

Suddenly, Huang He turned his attention to Xv Qinghuan, who was by Li’s side.

No matter what, Xv Qinghuan was ranked highly on the goddess list, exuding an elegant aura Huang He was quite fond of, or perhaps, compelled to conquer.

Although not a student of Kanyue City Medical University, Huang He still knew of the famous goddess list and had browsed it before.

He knew Liou Qingcheng was ranked first on it, which particularly incited his jealousy towards Lin Tian, adding greatly to his resentment. However, he didn’t remember much of the subsequent rankings, not even recognizing Sisi.

With a sudden thought, Huang He smiled at Xv Qinghuan, saying, "This beautiful lady looks unfamiliar, I’m Huang He, Huang as in yellow, and He as in..."

Before Huang He could finish, Lin Tian interjected forcibly, "He as in ’Cooking a Crane, Burning a Zither’."

Huang He’s face darkened almost instantly. Why that idiom? There are so many idioms and poems with the word crane, why choose that one? It’s like they’re saying I’m dead.

Ignoring Huang He’s expression, Lin Tian asked, "Mr. Yellow, right?"

Huang He was annoyed, feeling like no matter what he said, it was wrong.

Speaking of expressions, Li’s face looked ten times worse than Huang He’s, practically brimming with hostility.

Huang He not only snatched Qiu Wen, but was now hitting on Xv Qinghuan. Clearly intentional! And besides, just listen to that introduction, "yellow as in yellow"? Who introduces themselves like that? It’s a blatant tease aimed at his woman!

Before Li could explode, Xv Qinghuan, without a glance at Huang He, said, "Not interested. Also, Mr. Huang, you should tidy up a bit when you head out; your fly is undone, very embarrassing indeed."

Huang He’s face subtly reddened, and upon looking down at his fly, found it perfectly zipped up as it should be! He realized this woman had tricked him. Even more so, he felt that his earlier head-lowering action made him look like a fool.

This action drew some laughter, naturally from Lin Tian and the group at the dining table. The most exaggerated was Meng Nan, who slapped Huang He’s shoulder while laughing, saying, "Bro, you’ve got quite the developed limbs yourself!"

"Not as much as you," Huang He replied coolly, then turned back to Xv Qinghuan and said, "You’re quite something too, a little joke that broke the ice. But I think we have a chance to get acquainted; after all, more friends mean more ways, right? You seem to be a student at Kanyue City Medical University too. Upon graduation, I can introduce you to a good place, like becoming a private doctor, earns much more than doctors at those big hospitals."

Xv Qinghuan glanced at him and said, "No need, birds of a feather flock together, and I don’t see the need to become friends with someone like you."

Huang He seemed oblivious to the sarcasm, responding with a smile, "True, birds of a feather flock together. Look at your friends here, what are they wearing? The clothes on them combined don’t even reach a thousand, how tasteless. I am not like these hillbillies. My watch alone is a Vacheron Constantin, worth two hundred thousand each."

Qiu Wen watched the scene coldly, feeling conflicted inside.

She hadn’t gotten over Li yet and seeing him with a girlfriend even more beautiful made her somewhat bitter. Furthermore, Huang He seemed interested in her too; was he planning to abandon her?

Qiu Wen knew Xv Qinghuan as well, aware of her fierce reputation, knowing this woman was not as harmless as she appeared, and when truly angered, she could leave people crippled.

Xv Qinghuan casually asked, "What’s that got to do with me? So what if it’s two hundred thousand? Will you give it to me?"

Li, who was initially furious, felt elated seeing Xv Qinghuan’s spirited clapback at Huang He, making his face turn whiter and greener. He even gave her a thumbs up.

Huang He’s lips twitched; he really wanted to take the watch off and flippantly toss it to Xv Qinghuan, saying: Here, take it!

But Huang He couldn’t bring himself to part with it; after all, he just wanted to annoy Li, not spend two hundred thousand. If he could win over the woman, that’d be different, but given her attitude, she hadn’t shown any favor, suggesting it was impossible.
