Chapter 34: The Pretentious Girl at Night School

“Shen Anan, you got a perfect score.”

“This student is very talented. Everyone should learn from her.”

After Dr. Zeng finished speaking, the entire room was shocked.

How many points?

A perfect score?!

Was there a problem with the grading? How could anyone get a perfect score?

But Dr. Zeng was known for his impartiality. If even he agreed on a perfect score, there was probably no room for doubt.

The boy sitting next to Shen Anan stared at her intently.

“So you’re the genius! You have to help me out later!”

Admiration was practically written all over his face.

Shen Anan awkwardly nodded.

As soon as class started, she became focused, wholeheartedly absorbing the knowledge.

She even discussed with Dr. Zeng after class about the possibility of mixing certain herbs and foods together for therapeutic purposes.

Dr. Zeng was very pleased with this student.

After only a month of studying, Shen Anan’s foundation in traditional Chinese medicine had already become solid.

As her teacher, Dr. Zeng could see that if Shen Anan continued to learn at this pace, she wouldn’t make much progress.

The best approach now was hands-on practice.

So, one day after class, Dr. Zeng stopped Shen Anan, who was about to leave.

“Do you have time tomorrow afternoon? I’m going to see a few patients, and if you’re free, you can come along and learn.”

Several students who hadn’t left yet heard this and cast envious glances.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, Shen Anan frowned. She still had to cook and do housework. If she left, who would do those chores?

“Dr. Zeng, I’m really sorry, but tomorrow…”

Shen Anan spoke awkwardly.

Before she could finish, she heard a cold snort from Luo Tingting, who was standing nearby.

“Dr. Zeng is willing to take you, something others would beg for, and you dare to refuse…”

Her voice carried suppressed jealousy.

She was simply unwilling to accept that she was inferior to Shen Anan!

“I…”

Shen Anan wanted to explain, but Dr. Zeng had already sighed and left.

“See? Opportunities are scarce, and she’s still putting on an act. Dr. Zeng won’t tolerate you!”

Luo Tingting sneered from the side.

Seeing that Shen Anan didn’t react at all, she became even more annoyed, tossed her hair, and left!

Only then did Shen Anan slowly come to her senses. She felt uncomfortable too.

She knew Dr. Zeng was giving her a chance, but she couldn’t leave the Huo family’s affairs unattended.

Luo Tingting, in a bad mood after leaving night school, returned home with a sullen face.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Her mother, Zhang Chunfang, approached her. Ever since her daughter went to night school, she hadn’t mentioned anything about school.

“Nothing!”

Luo Tingting didn’t want to say more.

She had been a top student for so many years, but since meeting Shen Anan, she wasn’t anymore!

“I don’t want to go to night school anymore.”

After saying this, Luo Tingting went straight into her room and slammed the door shut, ignoring her mother’s calls.

Seeing her daughter like this, Zhang Chunfang was extremely worried.

Coincidentally, Shen Xiuxiu came to the hospital to see her the next day.

The two of them were involved in a fabric transaction, and Shen Xiuxiu also wanted to befriend her, so they interacted frequently.

Zhang Chunfang told her about her worries.

“It’s fine. I happen to have the day off today. I can take Tingting out to relax.”

Shen Xiuxiu also wanted to make a friend of her own age. After all, she didn’t get along with her colleagues at the supply and marketing cooperative, and as for that male colleague who pursued her…

She didn’t like him!

She couldn’t just wander around alone all day, could she?

She also wanted to interact with Luo Tingting. She heard that Luo Tingting was studying traditional Chinese medicine and was somewhat well-known in this area. She liked associating with such people.

Someone worthy of her!

“Okay, I’ll call Tingting over later, and you can go out and play with her. By the way, help me find out what’s bothering her at night school, making her not even want to go.”

Zhang Chunfang instructed.

In the afternoon, Luo Tingting came to the hospital and was sent to Shen Xiuxiu by her mother.

Shen Xiuxiu, upon seeing her, complimented her clothes and her fair skin.

Luo Tingting enjoyed the compliments and warmed up to Shen Xiuxiu within half an hour.

The two of them went to a state-run restaurant for dinner.

During the meal, Shen Xiuxiu didn’t forget what Dr. Zhang had asked her to find out.

Mainly, she was gossipy herself.

She tactfully asked, “Tingting, I heard from your mom that you don’t want to go to night school anymore?”

She also thought night school was useless.

What’s the use of learning so much? Just get a job, right?

“It’s not that I don’t want to go…”

Luo Tingting frowned.

She wasn’t interested in Western medicine, but her grades weren’t good either. She didn’t get into medical secondary school and didn’t find a suitable job.

When night school enrollment started, her mother tutored her in traditional Chinese medicine. Fortunately, she got in.

And Dr. Zeng’s teaching was indeed good. At first, she thought that if she could become his apprentice, she could enter the hospital in the future.

So, wouldn’t she want to study?

It was all because of Shen Anan!

“Why is that?”

Shen Xiuxiu put a piece of braised pork in her bowl, absentmindedly.

She was paying for this meal! It hurt.

“There’s a girl at night school whose entrance exam score was better than mine, and she’s so pretentious, I just can’t stand her!”

Luo Tingting said, losing her appetite and putting down her chopsticks.

Hearing this, Shen Xiuxiu became interested.

“Who is it?”

“You wouldn’t know her even if I told you.”

Luo Tingting’s mood worsened as she spoke.

Seeing this, Shen Xiuxiu stopped asking.

The two of them changed the subject, especially to making new clothes, and Luo Tingting’s mood finally improved. She even invited Shen Xiuxiu to go to night school with her later.

On the other hand, after finishing the Huo family’s housework, Shen Anan hesitated to speak.

Huo Rufeng saw that something was wrong with her and asked directly, “Is there something you want to say?”

Shen Anan met his gaze, and for some reason, she didn’t dare to lie and frankly told him about Dr. Zeng’s intention to let her observe patients.

“If you don’t go, it will be a great loss for you.”

Huo Rufeng became serious.

Although he didn’t study medicine, he knew that studying medicine and martial arts had something in common, and practical experience was more useful than theoretical knowledge.

“Don’t worry about cooking at home. I’ll tell my parents. Go quickly while you still can.”

He urged.

Shen Anan frowned, conflicted.

“Don’t you want to cure my leg? Can you cure me just by relying on your theoretical knowledge without going to the hospital to learn from Dr. Zeng?”

Huo Rufeng’s words struck Shen Anan’s heart.

Yes!

She went to night school to study traditional Chinese medicine, partly because she was interested, but the most important reason was to cure his leg!

How could she miss such a good learning opportunity?

“It’s okay, if you don’t want to go, then don’t.”

Huo Rufeng pretended to be indifferent and deliberately rolled his wheelchair past her.

Shen Anan couldn’t hold back any longer.

“I want to cure your leg! I’m going to find Dr. Zeng now!”

After saying this, Shen Anan went back to her room, grabbed her backpack, and left.

Watching her hurried figure, Huo Rufeng couldn’t help but curl his lips.

This fool, she needed to be goaded.

After leaving the Huo family, Shen Anan went straight to the hospital. After inquiring about Dr. Zeng’s location, she rushed over.

When she arrived, Dr. Zeng was just diagnosing a patient.

Unfortunately, when Dr. Zeng saw her arrive, he ignored her.

Shen Anan lowered her head, knowing it was her fault.

At that moment, the patient suddenly coughed violently and then collapsed!
