âYou didnât wait here all day, did you?â Xiao Qian suddenly realized that Wang Yafei didnât have her contact information. He only knew that she was a student at this school, and he didnât even know which major she belonged to.
And now it was already night.
Wang Yafei shifted his gaze awkwardly and said with unease, âActually, it wasnât that long.â
It was just from four in the afternoon until now. He was about to leave, but then he saw Xiao Qian.
âYou couldâve asked Professor Liu to find me.â
âAh! I forgot about that! I just thought that since you were a student at this school, I would be able to see you if I just stayed by the gateâ¦â
Yeah, he just needed to find Professor Liu. How did he make such a simple thing so complicated?
Xiao Qian saw Wang Yafeiâs suddenly enlightened expression and felt amused.
Even smart people can have stubborn moments. But Wang Yafei was quite cute in his foolishness.
As Xiao Qiang had said, it was impressive that Wang Yafei could stand guard at the campus gate for so long. His perseverance was not in vain, as not only had Xiao Qiang made an exception for him, he had also seized the opportunity to give him some pointers during the test with Ming Lang.
âTell me, what is it you need?â
âI want to say thank you. Iâve come to understand that with my situation, I canât join a company at this time. Ignoring problems is not the way to solve them. I need to accept treatment and wait until Iâm better before taking the exam again!â
After his match with Yu Minglang, Wang Yafeiâs arrogant mood was suddenly dented.
He thought about it for a long time after he went back and suddenly understood.
There were always people better than him and outside his reach; he thought he was arrogant and the strongest, but after seeing Yu Minglang, he realized that the world would keep turning without him.
If Ming Lang had stepped on him with a haughty attitude, Wang Yafei might not have reflected on himself like this. But Ming Lang used a low-key, restrained approach, and without doing anything, he made Wang Yafei see the light.
Itâs not that Ming Lang disrespected others; he just treated everyone with normality. Itâs just that those who stand at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the people on the top, feel that the others are looking down on them as a matter of course. In reality, itâs their own inferiority complex at work.
Xiao Qian nodded approvingly when she heard him say this.
âYou have good insight. Some people donât get through their entire lives. It only took you a day.â
She rarely gave such high praise to others. This young man was truly exceptional. It was not uncommon for people to hold themselves in high regard, but few were willing to admit when they werenât good enough. Despite his young age, he was sure to have a promising future, and it was no wonder that Ming Lang thought so highly of himâeven though he would not admit it himself.
But Xiao Qian knew it: her man saw potential in this person, and whoever caught Yu Minglangâs eye was bound to have bad luck. He would pay special attention to that person.
âI want to formally apologize to you, and then I want to ask you to continue being my psychologist and help me overcome my inner demons. I must cure my mental illness, and then I will continue taking the exams. I will definitely enter the company I like.â
âThere are so many good companies out there, why are you so insistent on this one?â
âBefore yesterday, it was because I wanted to earn more money, but after meeting Manager Yu, I feel that following such a wise boss will lead to a better future for me.â
âProfessor Liu is more professional than me; you can go to her too.â Xiao Qian recognized his good judgment.
âNo, I want you.â Wang Yafei said firmly.
It was because he had said that Xiao Qian was not qualified to be a doctor, and he felt guilty about it. He didnât want to change doctors, he just wanted Xiao Qian to treat him.
ââ¦Alright, Iâll talk to Professor Liu.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHere, this is for you⦠You are a doctor worth affirming.â Wang Yafei took out an envelope from his pocket, quickly handed it to Xiao Qian, and then turned and ran away without looking at her reaction. Xiao Qian couldnât catch up with his speed.
âHey!â Xiao Qian called out to him, but he did not stop.
When she opened the envelope, she saw several large bills inside. Was this payment for the treatments?
Apart from the money, there was a note inside that read, âDr. Chen, youâre the best!â
Xiao Qian was dumbfounded, that silly guyâ¦
He had given her quite a bit of money. Of course, for Xiao Qian, she had made more than this per hour in her previous life. But, the money wasnât about the amount; it had a different meaning. It was a recognition of her professionalism, and it was only natural for her to accept the money as a doctor.
Not far away, an SLR camera lens captured the scene. A young man in a peaked cap, long-sleeved t-shirt, and jeans muttered to himself, âThis evidence should be enough, right?â
Golden hair peeped out from under the cap, and passers-by would take a curious second look at the sight of a foreigner.
The young man with golden hair and blue eyes patted his SLR camera with satisfaction, knowing that another order would be completed to perfection. It felt great to make some easy money~
âBoss Qian! What are you looking at?â Shi Touyu came back and waved his hand in front of Xiao Qianâs face.
Xiao Qian averted her gaze; she had just had the feeling that she was being spied on, but she only saw a retreating figure when she looked up.
âNothing, letâs go.â
The next day, after Xiao Qianâs class, the substitute teacher stopped her and said that Professor Liu wanted to see her, and asked Xiao Qian to go to her house. Seeing that it was almost noon, Xiao Qian went to the canteen to get two dishes before heading to the professorâs house.
Professor Liu had already made some simple home-cooked dishes and didnât treat Xiao Qian as an outsider at all.
âWhy did you buy more food? Students shouldnât waste money.â Professor Liu couldnât help but lecture Xiao Qian when she saw her come in with the food.
âItâs okay, Iâm not short on money.â
Xiao Qian said with a grin. She really wasnât short on money now. Every month she could collect rent from her properties. Her engagement dowry from her parentsâ side, including the retail space, had been rented, and the furnished property from her in-laws had also been rented out. She was receiving rent regularly, which was more reliable than a salary.
She should have been doing the cooking as a guest in the teacherâs house, but considering her cooking skills⦠well, better to spend money to avoid disaster.
Speaking of money, Xiao Qian remembered the envelope Wang Yafei had given her last night. She took it out, put it on the table, and handed it to Professor Liu.
âWhatâs this? Are you trying to bribe me? Or did you know that I had some good news for you?â
Professor Liu thought Xiao Qian was handing in a thesis like last time and joked.
She had called Xiao Qian over because she had good news for her.
âGood news?â Xiao Qianâs finger hovered over the envelope.
âYes, your application to earn early credits has been approved. I recommended you, along with the class mentor, and the Academic Affairs Office has accepted it. But you must seize the opportunity, donât be arrogant, and steadily take each step. If you miss this opportunity, you wonât be able to get your bachelorâs degree.â
âDonât worry, I can pass.â Xiao Qian said with certainty, her finger slowly retracting. She wanted to take back the envelope.
âWhy are you trying to take back the thing you gave?â Professor Liu asked, puzzled.
