"Does he have a hidden family background?"

Tang Ming was slightly stunned and looked at Liu Mengting and others, "You all go play with them, I have something to discuss with Xiaoxi."

"Not interested, I..."

"Meng Meng sister, we can just take this chance to chat with Xiaoqian."

Li Xiaoli, who hadn’t spoken, quickly reminded softly.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoqian, let’s go play together."

Only then did Liu Mengting remember that she wanted Zhou Xiaoqian to help keep an eye on Tang Ming, and the three of them went to the corner to whisper.

"What does it mean that the medical competition is manipulated by hidden families? Isn’t this just a regular competition co-hosted by colleges nationwide?"

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi in confusion.

"There must be a reason why colleges nationwide would come together to host such a competition, right?"

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Tang Ming, "The medical competition is held once every ten years, and there are several hidden families pulling strings behind the scenes, with the aim of selecting the most outstanding medical talents to work for them."

"To do what?"

"I don’t know exactly what they do. Anyway, after winning the title of young Medical King, though they get famous, they all disappear later."

Su Xiaoxi shook her head in confusion.

"Disappeared? Did they die?"

Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly.

"Not really, it seems they went to work for the hidden families, but no one knows what exactly they do."

Su Xiaoxi shrugged, looking worriedly at Tang Ming, "But one thing is certain, no one who’s won the Medical King title has ever reappeared."

"It’s a trap."

Tang Ming frowned.

"Your medical skills are so good, what if you have to leave if you really win the Medical King title?"

Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming reluctantly, "You shouldn’t participate in the medical competition, anyway, our current life is pretty good."

"I can’t do that, I have my reasons for participating in the medical competition, but what you said really made me hesitate a bit."

Tang Ming shook his head, rubbing his chin in frustration, "If there’s really a hidden family manipulating things from behind the scenes, then I really can’t be too conspicuous, otherwise, if they make me disappear, I have no power to resist."

"That’s why I told you not to participate."

"Don’t worry, I’ll participate in the medical competition, but I just need to get into the top ten, I won’t win."

Tang Ming thought for a moment, becoming more determined to aim for the top ten; anything involving hidden families is always complicated, and he doesn’t want trouble.

Later, a group of people were having a blast eating, drinking, singing, and dancing in the private room. Imperial University’s dorms close at 10:30, so at 10 o’clock, Liu Mengting and others had to leave.

Zhu Chenglong and others were having too much fun to want to go back to sleep, anyway, Medical University’s dormitories didn’t have such strict management; they could return whenever they wanted.

Su Xiaoxi arranged for Liu Mengting, Meng Xianjun, and others to be sent back to Imperial University. After confirming that Tang Ming didn’t need her company, she also left.

After those constraints were gone, Tang Ming and a few others had even more fun, getting drunk. They returned to school only after midnight.

Zhou Xiaoqian stayed by Tang Ming’s side, not intending to leave even when they reached the dormitory.

Zhu Chenglong and others cuddled up with their partners on their beds, while Tang Ming looked at Zhou Xiaoqian in confusion, "Aren’t you going back to your dorm?"

"I-I said I would accompany you."

Zhou Xiaoqian blushed, remembering what Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli had asked her to do, feeling even more shy, "Miss Liu told me to take good care of you."

She knew Liu Mengting was Tang Ming’s fiancée, and initially felt a bit worried when they met, but after hearing Liu Mengting’s words, she relaxed completely.

"This..."

Tang Ming looked awkward; reuniting not long ago and now sleeping together seemed too fast.

"Judging from today’s situation, tonight won’t be peaceful. If I don’t stay by your side, it’ll probably be hard to endure."

Zhou Xiaoqian glanced at the other three beds, giving a meaningful reminder.

Tang Ming frowned and, upon glancing around, became immediately embarrassed.

Everyone had drunk quite a bit today—alcohol often led to uncontrollable behavior. The dorm lights weren’t even off, yet he and Zhou Xiaoqian hadn’t gotten into bed, and the others were already getting busy, too indulgent.

"Alright, let’s get to bed too~"

Tang Ming swallowed, recalling last night’s ordeal. Having Zhou Xiaoqian accompany him might make it easier.

Once Tang Ming and Zhou Xiaoqian turned off the lights and got into bed, Zhu Chenglong and the others became even more uninhibited, the noise...

Listening to the symphony that rose and fell in the room, Tang Ming held Zhou Xiaoqian, and their breathing grew more rapid.

"Brother Tang Ming, if you want to, I’m ready anytime."

Zhou Xiaoqian twisted her body and softly reminded.

"I feel something’s off, let’s chat a bit."

Tang Ming tried to control himself, having never really experienced such situations often before.

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"You never had a boyfriend; how come you weren’t a virgin?"

Tang Ming couldn’t help but ask the question that had been troubling him.

"I often faced such situations, and people would lose control, finding ways to solve it."

Zhou Xiaoqian snuggled in Tang Ming’s arms, softly explaining, "Once, I didn’t control the force well, and it broke."

"I..."

Hearing this, Tang Ming’s blood surged, unable to hold back anymore, and joined the debauchery.

The next morning, Tang Ming didn’t attend class, but accompanied by the passionate Zhou Xiaoqian, went to the medical training room.

"Little Tang is here."

Seeing Tang Ming appear, Huang Di immediately greeted him warmly. When his eyes fell on Zhou Xiaoqian, they became strange, "Seems like your relationship progressed fast!"

Zhou Qian blushed deeply.

"Mr. Huang has a keen eye, you’re not going to blame us, are you?"

Tang Ming also felt a bit awkward.

"What are you saying? I’m just thrilled."

Huang Di grinned.

"What?"

Tang Ming looked bewildered.

"Nothing, nothing, please, take a seat."

Huang Di didn’t explain but felt delighted inside; he had previously discussed with Guo Dahai using a beauty trap to keep Tang Ming, but hadn’t expected Zhou Xiaoqian to self-teach and already have Tang Ming under her spell.

Lu Zhengyi and the other boys stared enviously at Tang Ming. They were all medical students, and one look revealed that Zhou Xiaoqian had already been intimate with Tang Ming, causing pain to those who coveted Zhou Xiaoqian.

Several girls looked at Zhou Xiaoqian with envy but didn’t mind it much; anyway, most Medical University boys had several girlfriends, and as long as they found an opportunity, they could win over Tang Ming too.

"Alright, since everyone is here, today we’ll continue training for the medical competition, but today primarily we want Tang Ming to provide guidance to everyone."

Huang Di stood on the podium, opened the slideshow, and introduced, "Though the specific content of the medical competition hasn’t been disclosed, based on past experience, we can prepare in advance."
