Chapter 106: The Lone Ranger How did you know I wanted…

Well, I really do want it.

Sometimes when studying physical mutations, having a model for reference can help him understand and make comparisons more intuitively.

Of course, he can now find various required medical teaching models of skeletons and organs on the internet, there are even 3D ones. He has apps like 3Dbody and Human Anatomy Atlas on his phone, which allow him to view 3D anatomical information of the human body, including Chinese medicine acupoints and meridians.

“Forget it, I might go back to my hometown and sell the house, moving all these things around would be a hassle.” Xiang Kun hesitated for a moment but still chose not to accept the models.

Hearing him say this, Xia Libing didn’t say much. She pulled a box from the side and said, “I didn’t pay for that bow, these were my original birthday gifts for you.”

Xiang Kun glanced at the opened box. It was neatly filled with books. Judging by the covers of the top few, they seemed to be reference books and textbooks related to psychology and psychiatry.

“I don’t need these now, take whatever you find useful.”

Xiang Kun bent down to look through the books. He couldn’t help but want to laugh. Who gives their used textbooks as birthday presents…?

That being said. he was indeed auite interested in this gift and wouldn’t mind it. Perhaps Xia Libing knew this, which is why she chose to give these as gifts.

Well, she is a psychology student after all.

Xiang Kun was not shy, he crouched in front of the box and checked each book. He only took one book and three notebooks that had many notes written inside. As for the other books, he only noted the titles. He preferred to find the digital versions and read them on his computer, phone, or tablet. This was a habit he formed over time.

“I’m not going to be polite about this gift!” Xiang Kun stuffed the book and notebooks into his bow bag.

Xia Libing nodded: “If you’re interested, I can also send you some digital versions of notes and books.”

After thanking Xia Libing, Xiang Kun didn’t stay for much longer and left with his gifts.

Once he stepped into the elevator, Xiang Kun pressed the button for the first floor, but he subconsciously played back the details he saw in Xia Libing’s house in his mind.

“Old Xia is quite a peculiar person…”

Reflecting on his experiences with Xia Libing, he found that this academic powerhouse hardly showed any significant emotional changes. Whether it was playing cards, archery, or eating together, her heartbeat, breathing, smell, and expression changed the least. She always seemed to be in a relatively calm state.

Whether out and about or at home, she always seemed to be an “observer”. She always viewed herself as an outsider. Even when participating, it felt as though she was not fully engaged.

This feeling was strange. It didn’t feel like deliberate alienation, but more like an inherent “barrier”. On the contrary, it seemed like Xia Libing was always trying to break this sense of incongruity.

The time she showed the greatest emotional fluctuation and most significant physical changes, was probably when their horse-riding trip failed, and they happened to run into human traffickers on the way home, and she took action against those two women.

Officer Chen later told him that those two women were severely injured, much worse than the two poor souls subdued by Xiang Kun.

Seems like this girl does have a tendency for violence?

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Xiang Kun stopped thinking so much. After all, judging by his intuition, Xia Libing definitely meant no harm to him.

After leaving Xia Libing’s apartment complex with his bow bag on his back, Xiang Kun suddenly heard a tune he was very familiar with coming from a beverage shop not far away. And then the singing started:

“Once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, wondering through the bustling world…”

It was Xu Wei’s “The Once of You”, a song he used to love and would often listen to.
