chapter 27
27: Li Hua’s Panic
As Li Hua stepped out of the car, he saw a young girl in a black uniform standing at the hospital entrance waiting for him.
Her figure wasn’t as perfect as the previous flight attendant’s, but overall, she was shapely and more charming than girls her age.
Especially her face, carved like jade, was flawless and beyond reproach.
Like the natural beauty of ice sculptures, unaltered by human hands, her beauty was the most natural and purest cold.
Li Hua nodded to himself; given a few more years, this girl would not just be a beauty that causes fish to sink and birds to fall.
“The bright moon and stars pale in comparison to half the beauty of this girl,” he thought, describing the girl’s future appearance.
Li Hua touched his nose and smiled lightly. He didn’t have many hobbies, but what he enjoyed most was observing the natural beauty of humans.
If it was a beautiful woman, he was even more willing to spend a lot of time admiring her beauty.
Unfortunately, the beauties he encountered in his daily life were not born with such natural beauty; most had been altered to some extent.
This filled Li Hua with regret. He didn’t appreciate beauty that had been artificially enhanced; it left him puzzled and disappointed.
But everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and as an admirer, he naturally had no right to criticize others.
“Hello, Dr. Li Hua, it’s been three years since we last met, hasn’t it?”
Yao Shi walked up to Li Hua, bowed slightly, and took the suitcase from the bodyguards’ hands.
With a casual wave, she signaled the bodyguards to step back; she would take over and lead Dr. Li Hua from here.
“You are? Ah! You’re that little maid from back then, right? Yao Shi, was it?”
Li Hua was surprised that the young girl before him recognized him.
After pondering for a while, the face of a young girl from his memories slowly merged with the girl before him.
Three years ago, when he visited the Wu family, he met a girl who was cold to others but had an unusually rational mind.
To have such calm judgment at around fifteen, like a high-precision machine at work, he remembered the girl’s name on the spot.
“Yes, I’m honored that you remember my name,” Yao Shi bowed again, feeling privileged that Dr. Li Hua remembered her name.
Back then, she had merely greeted Dr. Li Hua briefly, exchanging only a few words.
But Dr. Li Hua remembered her, and even now, he could clearly call out her name, which surprised her.
“Hahaha, you’re too formal. But time really does fly.”
“That green little maid has grown into a graceful and beautiful lady in the blink of an eye.”
Li Hua felt a sense of warmth upon seeing Yao Shi.
After all, the previous bodyguards were too meticulous, making it impossible to have a normal conversation with them.
Although Yao Shi seemed somewhat aloof, she was still capable of making simple small talk.
“Why the rush to call me here? Is it for surgery? Has someone from the Wu family met with an accident?”
Li Hua took a suitcase from Yao Shi’s hands, pulling it along as they walked together towards the hospital lobby.
How could he let a lady carry such a heavy object? It was the etiquette expected of a thirty-year-old gentleman.
“The young master hopes you can save an elder’s life, but it’s not someone from the Wu family.”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yao Shi led Li Hua into the elevator.
Facing the fiery stares of the doctors in the lobby, Yao Shi seemed as if she had long been accustomed to such attention.
Her icy, delicate face remained unflustered, only her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, appearing very natural.
“Hehe… Would Young Master Wu actually take the initiative to help a stranger?”
Upon hearing the term ‘young master,’ Li Hua’s heart skipped a beat, his legs went weak, and he nearly knelt down right there.
It must be because of that rascal Wu Liang… He should have guessed it was that brat’s idea from the start…
“Yes, it’s a relative of the young master’s friend who is seriously ill. If you don’t intervene…”
Yao Shi spoke softly, marking the first time the young master had actively sought to help someone else.
Although the motive was to gain the favor of the girl He Xue, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
“Oh? That’s quite surprising.”
Li Hua raised an eyebrow, leaning on the handrail, feeling somewhat astonished.
That haughty young master was actually willing to help others?
But then again, that little devil has friends? Surely no one would befriend that guy.
“Yes, I’m also surprised. It seems the young master has changed somewhat recently.”
Yao Shi also found Wu Liang’s behavior somewhat incomprehensible.
“Could it really be that a knock on the head has awakened him, and now, he’s suddenly decided to turn over a new leaf?”
Li Hua laughed heartily. Although it had been three years since he last saw Wu Liang,
In those three years, he had heard quite a few rumors from the Wu family.
It was said that the brat had become a completely unruly delinquent after starting high school.
He had nearly driven his parents to their wits’ end, but they were somewhat helpless against the young scoundrel.
After all, the young scoundrel had been spoiled by those around him since childhood. If anyone was to blame, it would be Mu Xinrou and the others.
“Well, in a sense, that’s true.”
“But after awakening, Young Master Wu Liang has indeed changed a lot, at least that’s what I believe.”
“The Young Master Wu Liang of today has undergone a fundamental change; he’s no longer the little ruffian he used to be.”
Yao Shi took a deep breath and spoke softly.
From her observations of Wu Liang these past few days, it was clear that Young Master Wu had undergone a transformation.
Young Master Wu had matured a lot, although he had not shown any changes beyond his personality.
But she had a premonition that Young Master Wu might have truly awakened something extraordinary.
“You, you’re just too indulgent with that little rascal. If it were me, I would have kicked him…”
With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Li Hua struck an exaggerated flying kick pose.
But quickly, Li Hua’s cheeks lost all color in an instant.
“Ah… well… the weather’s nice tonight, isn’t it…”
Li Hua, still in his flying kick pose, looked pale as he faced Wu Liang, who was standing at the elevator entrance to greet him.
After a long silence, Li Hua’s mouth twitched as he stuttered a greeting to Wu Liang…
