Chapter 7

However, in the original novel, Mo Li couldn’t see things from Mo Yun’s perspective. As a result, they butted heads even more often. Eventually her constant refusal to heed her lessons turned her big brother against her. In the end, the gap between the siblings became so huge that Mo Yun lost all hope on his younger sister.
This led to Mo Yun giving up on his sister. He found a substitute instead in the obedient and sensible Qiao Qing, becoming Qiao Qing’s full support.

…
After returning home, before Mo Yun could even rest, he was notified of a problem with the company’s overseas branch and left in a hurry.
Mo Yi returned to his room to rest because he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Mo Li did not return to her room immediately. Instead, she walked to the basement of the house. According to her memory, Mo Li’s parents doted on the original Mo Li a lot. Whenever she was interested in something, her parents would go extra lengths to cultivate her interest. However, none of those interests really lasted that long.
They used the basement, which was previously the storeroom, to accommodate Mo Li’s ever-changing interest.
Mo Li opened the first room and it was like a planetarium. There were different types of binoculars, with starry wallpaper. There were even expensive pieces of meteorite Mo Li’s parents bought because the girl demanded it.
Mo Li opened the next room and found what she was looking for, a medical laboratory!
The first thing that caught her attention was the optical microscope, and the second was the set of scalpels that were placed in the glass cabinet.
Mo Li was thankful that she had transmigrated into such a resourceful family. She stood inside the lab and looked around, she was certain an ordinary families could not afford all these.
Father Mo and Mother Mo did this more than because they loved their children. They were willing to spend on education and hobby. They viewed that as important things in their children’s lives.
Mo Li decided to stay in the laboratory, she felt more comfortable here. Mo Li studied her hands. If she started with wound suturing, she would probably get cramps. Therefore, she started back from the basics. She practiced with an epidural needle and a piece of cardboard. When she felt comfortable enough, she moved onto newspapers and pillows. As she threaded the needle through the fabric of the pillows, even though her hands had gotten steadier, she couldn’t stop her palms from sweating.

This reminded her of her internship at the emergency wing of the hospital. When she started her clinical posting, her hands were constantly shaking. Before, when she was dealing with the dead, her hands never trembled, but the moment a living person was placed before her, her hands couldn’t stop shaking. However, she had gotten over that challenge once, she was confident she could do it again.

Suddenly, Mo Li felt a prick on her finger. The first person who suffered from her needle in this world was herself, it was part of the journey of a physician’s training. Mo Li decided that was enough training for the day.
Putting down the needle in her hand, Mo Li walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
Eggs, pig trotters, bovine heart tubes… she would use these to practice tomorrow. The soft membrane of the egg as well as the flesh of the bovine heart would be a real challenge to her skill. They would help improve her skill greatly. Then she moved up from the underground lab. Mo Li returned to her room to focus on her academic studies.
She was busy taking notes, and studying when a person arrived at the house.
It was the eighteen-year-old Han Xu!
He was also the male protagonist of this novel!
As expected of most male protagonists of this genre, Han Xu also had a complicated background.
He was the illegitimate child of a noble family in Beijing.
Han Xu’s mother was the childhood sweetheart of the family leader. They were already engaged when Han Family ran into a crisis and Father Han had to marry the daughter of another noble family to save the Han family legacy.
When Mother Han was chased out from the Han Family, she was already two months pregnant. Worried that her appearance would impeded Father Han, Mother Han left her hometown and came to Pearl River River.
Mother and son had no one but each other. It was not until Han Xu graduated with a doctorate and made a name for himself that Father Han allowed him back to the family. Han Xu and his mother finally got the acknowledgement they deserved.
As he ascended towards the peak, he fell crazily in love with Qiao Qing. It was because they were both from a common background and had to fight for their places in this world. Like most protective male protagonist, he made life difficult for Mo Li who came after Qiao Qing. In a word, he was the person who was responsible for all the bad things that happened to Mo Li all thanks to his unerring love for Qiao Qing and his need to destroy everything that dared to harm the woman he loved.
…
Of course, that would only happen in the far future. When he first arrived at Mo Family’s home, Han Xu did not know about his true identity, he had no idea he would be calling all the shots at Beijing in the future.
He was there that day because he would be paid handsomely for his services. He was hired by Mo Yun to be Mo Li’s tutor.

Through patience and kindness, Han Xu slowly got Mo Li to put her guard down. Thanks to his handsome face and interesting teaching methods, he was the only person whom Mo Li could open her heart to. She found warmth from Han Xu when the rest of the world had abandoned her.
This elevated Han Xu in Mo Li’s eyes even though he came from an ordinary background. In fact, after she found out he earned his college tuition and living expenses through his own hard work, she thought even more highly of him.
Since then, unbeknownst to Han Xu, he had left behind a deep mark on Mo Li’s heart. He occupied a special place in her heart.
However, when his tutorship ended, their relationship also ended.
