C51 She Came up with Another Vicious Plan!

"Hey, Brother Ye Yu, wait up!" A voice called out from behind Ye Yu.

After saying goodbye to Elder Tang, Ye Yu was heading to school when he paused, turning to see the young doctor hurrying after him.

"What do you need?"

Ye Yu eyed the approaching young doctor with a slight frown, prompting an explanation.

The doctor caught his breath and composed his thoughts. "I'm Liu Yifeng, a doctor at Mingzhou City's First Central Hospital. Today, I witnessed your extraordinary acupuncture skills saving a patient on death's door. Your talent took me by surprise!"

Ye Yu gave Liu Yifeng a quick look. "Say that again."

Scratching his head with a sheepish grin, Liu Yifeng said, "I'd like to learn from you!"

"I'm busy."

With an indifferent glance, Ye Yu turned to walk away.

Liu Yifeng stood there, dumbfounded. Had Ye Yu just flatly rejected him?

"Hold on! Brother Ye Yu, I mean it! I truly want to learn your acupuncture technique. It could significantly lower the death rate!"

Ye Yu halted, turning back to face him. "You're serious about this?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Liu Yifeng nodded vigorously. "Absolutely!"

Ye Yu considered for a moment before responding, "Not right now. I'll teach you later."

Liu Yifeng understood this was Ye Yu's final word. With a nod of reluctant acceptance, he said, "Fine, it's a deal then. You have to teach me later!"

"Sure, don't worry about it. I've got to go now; class is starting."

With that promise, Ye Yu departed.

Truth be told, Ye Yu was keen to teach Liu Yifeng, who genuinely wanted to learn. The more people who knew Ye Yu's techniques, the more patients would benefit. However, Ye Yu intended to auction off the medical book, so he couldn't share it with Liu Yifeng just yet. Besides, the book's intricate text and diagrams would be tough to grasp without Ye Yu's guidance. With no time to spare for teaching, Ye Yu had to postpone.

Liu Yifeng watched, forlorn, as Ye Yu disappeared into the distance.

Entering the gates of Xiang Yu Middle School, Ye Yu's gaze sharpened when he spotted Ouyang Yu. Since the last incident where Ouyang Yu tried to frame Ye Yu and was exposed, he hadn't returned to class out of humiliation and rage.

And now, Ouyang Yu was with Qin Qing. How had they ended up together?

Ye Yu's brow furrowed, but he ignored them and headed straight for the academic building.

Qin Qing, who had been daintily leaning on Ouyang Yu's arm, caught sight of Ye Yu passing by and let out a disdainful huff.

Ouyang Yu, spotting Ye Yu as well, no longer dared to provoke him. At Qin Qing's snort, he inquired, "Do you know him?"

Upon hearing Ouyang Yu's question, Qin Qing replied in a coy voice, "Ouyang, don't get the wrong idea. I have nothing to do with him~"

Ouyang Yu's frown deepened as he pressed, "I'm asking how you know Ye Yu!"

Feeling the seriousness in Ouyang Yu's tone, Qin Qing dared not conceal the truth any longer.

"His name is Ye Yu. He's decent-looking, but the guy doesn't have a dime to his name or any clout. I even tried to make friends with him and got turned down. He's got nothing to boast about!"

Ouyang Yu mulled this over for a moment, then a malicious grin crept across his lips.

Qin Qing noticed Ouyang Yu's prolonged silence and began to worry he might misconstrue her connection with Ye Yu. She hurriedly clarified, "Ouyang, relax. Ye Yu and I have no ties whatsoever. He's just a poor nobody. How could he ever measure up to you?"

Ouyang Yu's grip tightened into fists as he remembered the sting of defeat he felt in Ye Yu's presence. A venomous glint flashed in his eyes, and he spat out bitterly, "Exactly. He's in no position to compare with me!"
