Chapter 525: Chapter 525 - Gift

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

The twelve-year-old Ji Yinbing had grown taller, and her appearance had matured. Perhaps it was because she was influenced by the cold instructors, but her beautiful face never liked to smile. The instructors loved her silent but studious look the most, but the young mercenaries were a little afraid of her.

They were afraid of Ji Yinbing, and they respected Ji Yinbing.

Not only was her grades good, but her mercenary results every season were also top-notch.

Yan Yu once said to Ji Yinbing, “Why don’t you just join our mercenary group? I’ll let you be a small leader.”

However, Ji Yinbing said, “No.” She looked at the sun in the west, her gaze becoming distant and deep. No one knew what she was thinking.

In the past two years, Yan Nuo had never returned. Ji Yinbing had never seen him or heard his voice.

Yan Yu had never visited her brother in America. She treated Yan Nuo as non-existent.

A few days ago, after her first year of university, Vera, who was on vacation, went to America with two girls from wealthy families. She went to see Yan Nuo. It was said that Vera had returned to the country yesterday and would probably visit the Yan family this afternoon.

After Yan Nuo left, Vera came to the Yan family less often. Ji Yinbing had only seen her in the first half of last year.

That afternoon, Ji Yinbing finished her shooting practice and returned to the Yan family home drenched in sweat. She planned to take a shower and start answering her homework questions. She was thinking about them, and entered the Yan family’s small tea pavilion from the backyard. At this moment, she heard Butler La Pu talking to someone in the main hall.

“Miss Vera is Young Master Yan Nuo doing well in America?”

La Pu stood at the side and waited on Vera. He was worried about Yan Nuo’s situation and couldn’t help but ask.

Ji Yinbing happened to hear this when she arrived.

She hid in the small tea pavilion and eavesdropped on their conversation.

It had been a long time since she had heard from Yan Nuo, and she missed him too.

Ji Yinbing heard Vera say, “He’s quite good. Brother Yan Nuo has grown a lot taller and stronger. When I went to look for him this time, he specially took half a day off to accompany me.” Vera thought of something and quickly said, “Oh right, he even asked me to bring gifts for Sister Yan Yu and you.”

Vera opened a small box and took out many cosmetics. She said to La Pu, “These are the cosmetics Sister Yan wants. I accompanied Brother Yan Nuo to buy them.”

“Brother Yan Nuo wants to give this to you.” Vera handed La Pu a precise and metallic pocket watch.

La Pu took the pocket watch with both hands and quickly put it on his chest. He looked like he loved it.

Ji Yinbing walked in.

Vera caught a glimpse of her and was surprised.

It had been more than a year since they last met. The skinny little girl in her memory had gradually become a small beauty. Vera could foresee Ji Yinbing’s beautiful and dazzling appearance.

At the thought that this girl would continue to follow Yan Nuo, Vera was still annoyed even if Yan Nuo didn’t have any feelings for her.

Ji Yinbing greeted Miss Vera and looked up to see the pair of ice green fish-shaped jade earrings on her ears. She thought that they looked good, but she did not dare to look at them.

She lowered her head and walked upstairs.

At this moment, Vera stopped her. “Little girl, Brother Yan Nuo brought you something.”

Ji Yinbing was overjoyed.

She quickly turned around and ran back. She walked to Vera and asked her, “What did he bring me?”

Vera’s eyes flashed. She took out a book from the box and handed it to Ji Yinbing. “This is for you.”

Ji Yinbing took the book in surprise.

Looking down, it was all in English.

It read “The Human Nervous System.”

It was about nerve anatomy?

Ji Yinbing was speechless.

Did Little Master Yan Nuo want to test her English learning ability and… medical skills?

“Thank you, Miss Vera.”

Ji Yinbing held the book that she could not understand at all as if she had obtained a treasure.

Vera originally wanted to tease her, but when she saw that she really loved this book, her chest felt stuffy. This book was actually bought by a collector from America, but now…

Vera was embarrassed to take back the gift.

Besides, she could not be bothered to touch anything that had been touched by a lowly person.

Ji Yinbing carried the book back to her room.

She opened the book and saw a full list of English and medical names. She… did not know most of the English words, which made Ji Yinbing feel that she had a long way to go. The next day, she took her scholarship money and went to buy English books.

She devoted herself to studying and researching. When she wrote down the meaning of every word in the entire book and translated it herself, she realized that just knowing these words was far from enough! So what if she knew them? She did not know the meaning of the phrases at all!

What was a neurotransmitter?

What is the GABA receptor subtype?

Glycine neurons… What was this?

She had decided that she had to study hard and understand the meaning of this book.

She wanted to be a doctor!

Ji Yinbing did not know that the book in her hand was a textbook written for research students and clinicians who studied neurosurgery. It was not a book that ordinary students could understand. She was also a 13-year-old girl.

About two weeks later, the landline at home rang.

Yan Yu wasn’t home. It was La Pu who answered the phone.

“Who is it?” La Pu asked the person on the other end.

“La Pu, it’s me.” Yan Nuo’s voice deepened.

The young man’s voice had changed, and he sounded even more like a man.

La Pu was stunned for a moment before he shouted in surprise, “It’s Young Sir!”

Yan Nuo never spoke much.

He nodded. He had nothing to say to La Pu, so he asked, “I can’t get through to my sister’s phone. Where is she?”

“Miss went on a mission.”

“I see…”

Yan Nuo added, “Then I’m hanging up.”

At this moment, La Pu saw Ji Yinbing enter the house with a pile of books. “Bing is home,” he said, and then La Pu realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have. Bing was just a little slave. How was she qualified to answer the little sir’s call?

However, Yan Nuo said, “Then let her answer the call.”

La Pu quickly said to Ji Yinbing, “Bing, it’s Young Sir’s call. He called you over to answer the call.”

Ji Yinbing took the phone in surprise. She was a little nervous when she heard the man’s deep and powerful breathing. “Is, is it Master?” This was the first time Ji Yinbing touched the phone and she was especially excited. However, what made her even more excited was the person on the other end of the phone.

The little girl sounded very excited.

Yan Nuo said, “It’s me.”

Ji Yinbing quickly said, “Master, are you doing well in America?”

“Not bad.”

“Then Master must study hard.”

Yan Nuo replied. “…Okay.”

There seemed to be no conversation between them. Ji Yinbing did not know what to say. Yan Nuo was also a silent person.. Just as Ji Yinbing was about to suggest hanging up the phone, she heard Yan Nuo ask. “Do you like the earrings?”
