CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 96: STIRRING BLOOD OF YOUTH
Xiao Xian helplessly closed her eyes, waiting until exclamations echoed around her once again.
Whether it was due to nervousness or the multiple unsuccessful needle pricks, the fingers that touched her arm this time were slightly trembling, yet they were warm.
The exclamations arrived as expected, but what followed was a different, unfamiliar sensation.
"!" A peculiar feeling, Xiao Xian felt her hand’s muscles tighten naturally, the cold needle penetrated her skin and slowly entered her arm, accompanied by the needle was a warm current.
That warm current drew her blood towards the needle, gathering bit by bit, and then quickly left her body. Xiao Xian suddenly opened her eyes, a pair of eyes as dazzling as the morning stars were only ten centimeters away from her.
"You?" Xiao Xian stuttered, how could it be him?
From such a close distance looking at Zhou Ziang, Xiao Xian could even see the fine hairs on his face, not to mention his overly prominent nose bridge and soft lip line.
"First time getting blood drawn? Don’t be so nervous next time," Zhou Ziang pressed a cotton ball over the needle site on Xiao Xian’s arm. When he entered the gym, he had seen the doctor miss the vein twice.
While Aisha and Huang Tengchong behind him were still discussing the comparison of physical fitness between Chinese and American students, he crossed the crowd, took the syringe from the doctor who was deciding whether or not to continue.
"Are you a doctor too?" Xiao Xian watched as Zhou Ziang pressed down on the needle site on her hand, his touch gentle. If he were a doctor, surely many people would volunteer themselves for his needle.
Xiao Xian had noticed that several female students behind her were displaying an envious look, including Zhang Yiyi, and Xiao Xian was certain that once she stepped out of the gym, Zhang Yiyi would jump up and down like a parrot, questioning nonstop.
"Temporarily a doctor," Zeus Zhu Zhou Ziang’s seemingly casual remark somehow made Xiao Xian’s heartbeat speed up a few beats. It must be because of the excessive blood loss. When Xiao Xian stood up to leave, she felt somewhat weak in the knees.
"Ziang," Aisha approached, her foreign features immediately drew the attention of the surrounding students.
The female students looked envious, while the male students stared at Aisha without blinking, even the doctors who were drawing blood stopped.
Zhang Yiyi noticed something was off with Xiao Xian, who had just clenched her fist tightly after having her blood drawn.
"After drawing blood, you shouldn’t exert force on your arm," Zhou Ziang lightly glanced at Xiao Xian’s hand, signaling her to relax her fist.
Xiao Xian recognized Aisha, five years later Aisha had become even more ravishing, as well as Huang Tengchong who followed by her side. Why would he be with this malicious woman, Xiao Xian’s logic for defining good and evil was simple, the friends of a bad person were also bad.
"Thank you," Xiao Xian replied stiffly, not looking at Aisha anymore, urging Zhang Yiyi and the others that their next class was about to start, they had to hurry back to the classroom.
"Wait a moment," Zhou Ziang called out to Xiao Xian, he had already seen Xiao Xian’s blood test card: "Aren’t you a high school student?" The physical examination in the gymnasium was meant for middle school students.
Zhou Ziang’s abnormal reaction made Aisha take a few more glances at Xiao Xian, Xiao Xian recognized Aisha, but Aisha didn’t recognize Xiao Xian. Huang Tengchong also looked at Xiao Xian a few times, inwardly weighing, was it just an ordinary, pretty middle school student. Could it be that Zhou Ziang has a taste for them, perhaps a pedophile?
Xiao Xian was sure Aisha hadn’t recognized her, but from the sudden shift in that woman’s annoyed gaze, Xiao Xian read a particular meaning. She thought for a moment, made a face, and then ran off with Zhang Yiyi in tow.
Now it was Zhou Ziang’s turn to be dumbfounded, how large was the age gap between him and her, in ancient times, they could have been considered father and daughter.
"Ziang, why would you ask about that?" It was the first time Aisha had seen Zhou Ziang pay such attention to a female, especially when she was just a kid without much feminine appeal.
"It’s nothing, just curious," Zhou Ziang said it was nothing, but the hint of melancholy that flashed in his eyes was still caught by the sensitive Aisha.
After leaving the gym, Aisha told Huang Tengchong: "Go investigate right away, find out the background of that girl named Zhu Xiaoxian, and specially, how does she know Ziang?"
Xiao Xian wasn’t having it easy on her end, she hadn’t even left the gym when she was bombarded by Zhang Yiyi. At dinner time, there was no respite, and the talkative Zhang Yiyi even told Zeng Xuerou about it.
