Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 931: Chapter 931 Rumors

When Assistant Principal Zhao saw this, Dr. Xue was acting completely out of character, clearly losing his cool. He immediately shot a look at Liu Hongmin, and the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, half-pushed, half-carried Smith and Mike out of the classroom door. The translator had no choice but to follow them.

Before leaving, they gave Bai Xiao a couple of meaningful glances.

The remaining time essentially became Dr. Xue’s stage for his lecture, delivered with intense emotion and eloquent skill. Drawing from the strengths of others while compensating for his own weaknesses, he shared one captivating story after another. Finally, the school bell signaling the end of class rang.

Bai Xiao bolted out of the classroom the moment the bell sounded, as if she were being chased by a ghost.

Dr. Xue’s gaze had been fixed on her the whole time; if she didn’t flee, she’d be out of her mind.

This old doctor had a truly peculiar expression.

The next day, the school’s bulletin board posted the list of candidates for the upcoming competition.

Bai Xiao didn’t bother joining the crowd; instead, she snuck off to the practice room.

She had secretly applied for access through Liu Hongmin because, as a non-surgical clinical student, she technically didn’t have the right to use the practice room.

Upon hearing her request, Liu Hongmin immediately gave his approval without hesitation.

He directly assigned her a private practice room—a privilege usually reserved only for top-tier surgical students, recognized as elite talents. He even handed her the key with a friendly smile, encouraging her to use it freely and informing her to let him know if she needed anything so he could restock it instantly.

Additionally, he carried over a stack of videotapes from his own office—currently the only available visual resources. These tapes covered various aspects of surgical techniques as well as scientific research from their affiliated hospital over the years, featuring classic examples of educational material.

Bai Xiao was overwhelmed by Liu Hongmin’s enthusiasm. All she wanted was to test how far her special ability could work in surgery; she hadn’t anticipated such cooperation from Director Liu Hongmin.

After expressing her gratitude, Bai Xiao began her practice sessions in the room.

What she didn’t realize was that Liu Hongmin’s actions were, of course, under Dr. Xue’s orders.

Dr. Xue felt a thrill, akin to finally having a fish take the bait. A promising talent like her, once captivated by the field, was undoubtedly destined to become a rising star in surgical excellence.

In his mind, he could already envision her as his dazzling successor, stepping onto the global stage of medical achievements, reshaping the history of medicine, and perhaps even becoming the most outstanding surgeon he had ever trained.

Bai Xiao knew none of this.

All she did was immerse herself in practice.

After spending an entire day watching videotapes, Bai Xiao finally stumbled out of the practice room, her head spinning, and returned to her dormitory. Ma Yao, He Juan, and Lin Xiang greeted her with mischievous expressions.

"Cut the nonsense! Spill it if you’ve got something to say!"

Bai Xiao immediately sensed something was off. She hadn’t done anything outrageous recently, so there shouldn’t be any rumors going around.

"Oh, really? You didn’t even check that competition list? Your name, Bai Xiao—Doctor Bai—is right there, listed as the prestigious Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture master, now representing the surgical clinical team. Your big name is on the roster! The whole school is buzzing. Everyone’s saying you’re Dr. Xue’s treasured protégé, his secret student. You’ve been hiding this from us? That really takes nerve, girl!" Ma Yao exclaimed in frustration. The three of them had been nothing but loyal friends to Bai Xiao, yet she had withheld such a massive piece of news from them.

This felt like betrayal.

"Who said that? That’s a complete fabrication. How could I possibly be Dr. Xue’s secret student? I only got to know him during the delegation’s antidote demonstration. If I were his protégé, would I even be studying Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Bai Xiao could easily deduce this was Dr. Xue’s handiwork. noveldrama

He was trying to turn this into a fait accompli.
