Chapter 1426: Chapter 1440: I Can Only Think "Heh" Inside

"Got it, darling, don’t worry. Even if I go back to the team, it’s just to handle some tasks. There’s a mission, but they don’t need an injured person like me to step in."

The day after returning from the Imperial City, they had a human anatomy class. To everyone’s surprise, An Ran not only didn’t faint but was incredibly adept at the procedures.

"An Ran, where have you been recently? Don’t tell me you’ve been secretly studying? When I watched you operate earlier, your hands didn’t tremble at all; you looked more like a professional doctor."

Zheng Kai jogged up to her after leaving the dissection room and asked.

An Ran smiled like the Mona Lisa, thinking to herself, "Yeah, right."

Was she secretly off studying? She did go to the hospital, but she couldn’t even take care of a single patient properly; she made the stitched-up wound split open on the first day.

"Zheng Kai, why do I feel like you’ve been eating honey lately? Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter," Xiao Xiao said, wedging between Zheng Kai and An Ran, taking An Ran’s arm to head to the cafeteria.

Zheng Kai scratched his head awkwardly, "How could that be? I’m just stating the truth. Oh, by the way, there’s duck blood soup today. I’ll go get you a serving, An Ran."

An Ran grabbed Zheng Kai, who was about to run to the cafeteria, "I beg you, can you spare me? Right now, don’t even mention duck blood soup, I couldn’t even eat a grand feast. Just get whatever you want for yourself, don’t worry about me."

Although she overcame her psychological fear and completed the operation, thinking about that scene still made An Ran feel full inside.

"I don’t feel like eating either. Since none of us want to eat, let’s go for a stroll off-campus. I know there’s a new cake shop that opened in front of the school, let’s go check it out. Maybe we’ll get some appetite there," Lu Yi suggested.

"Great, great, I’m so tired of cafeteria food too; going out to eat sounds good," Xiao Xiao perked up at the mention of cake.

An Ran also thought it was a good idea. The greasy dishes didn’t appeal to her, but decorated cakes were different, "Alright then, let’s go for a walk."

Zheng Kai also turned in the direction, generously saying, "Since none of you are going to the cafeteria, I’ll join you for the walk. It’s on me."

"Wow, Zheng Kai, you’re really on top of things," Xiao Xiao teased, "I want a Black Forest and a mousse, hopefully, the cake shop has some new varieties."

Hearing Xiao Xiao’s words, Zheng Kai raised an eyebrow, his face showing disdain.

"Xiao Xiao, it’s not that I’m stingy, but you should really look in the mirror. Even if there’s no floor-length mirror in your dorm, you should check when we pass by a clothing store. You eating both Black Forest and mousse, aren’t you afraid of gaining weight? I remember girls usually care about their weight. As you are now, you must be about one hundred twenty pounds?"

Xiao Xiao widened her eyes. Not only did Zheng Kai’s words make her want to clobber him, but they also reminded her of what Lin Junyang once said. He too questioned if she weighed one hundred twenty pounds.

She couldn’t bring herself to hit Lin Junyang, but Zheng Kai...

"Come here, Zheng Kai," Xiao Xiao beckoned him over, "I’ll show you whether I’m one hundred twenty pounds."

"Xiao Xiao really seems to have gained a bit recently," Lu Yi said, watching the two tussle.

"Lu Yi, that’s something you should only say to me. Few girls like to hear others say they’re gaining weight. You and Zheng Kai have a complete lack of emotional intelligence," An Ran chuckled, covering her mouth.

"I’m telling the truth, you’ve also put on a bit of weight. I guess Instructor Mu has been taking good care of you in the Imperial City."
