Chapter 530: There’s Definitely a Problem (2)

"Then, about Professor Liang taking me as his disciple... that wasn’t your doing, was it?"

Shen Nian’s thoughts immediately jumped to Professor Liang. They’d never had any interaction, so it was impossible for him to want to take her as a disciple for no reason at all.

"You’re overthinking it, Junior Sister. Even if I had that idea, I don’t have that much sway with our professor. I only found out who you were after the fact."

"After the fact?"

Shen Nian quickly picked up on the key phrase in Xu Zhe’s words.

"I heard that you later almost completely cured the heart condition of that elderly gentleman from the train?"

"How do you know?"

"I only found out later myself. Our professor and Mr. He Sr. are acquainted. Mr. He Sr. was the one who told him about you."

"Oh, so that’s what happened."

Now Shen Nian finally understood. No wonder Grandpa He had asked her so much about college when she was in the provincial capital, questioning her about everything from the school to her major.

’It seems he’d been planning to help me succeed in college ever since then!’

Thinking of the He Family, a warmth filled Shen Nian’s heart. ’They always said they were lucky to have met me, but for me, wasn’t I the lucky one?’

"But, Junior Sister! How can you be so skilled in medicine at such a young age? Back then, our professor was also aware of Mr. He Sr.’s condition, and even he wasn’t completely confident he could handle it!"

Before this, the person Xu Zhe admired most was his professor, Professor Liang. But now, he had one more person to add to that list.

Even if this person was much younger than him!

Xu Zhe never judged people by their age. As long as someone was exceptionally capable, what did it matter if they were young?

"I heard your greatest strength is your Acupuncture Skill. Would you be willing to demonstrate for your Senior Brother sometime?"

Shen Nian had been worried that Xu Zhe would grill her about how she’d mastered such profound medical arts at her age. She hadn’t expected his focus to shift so quickly to something else entirely.

’She could see it now. This senior brother of hers... he must be deeply in love with Chinese medicine! Just look at him. The moment he started talking about the Acupuncture Skill, his eyes seemed to light up.’

"Of course!"

Shen Nian replied with a smile. Her medical skills all came from her eccentric old master, and he was a Divine Doctor with the whole world in his heart.

In fact, if he were still around, he certainly wouldn’t have hesitated to demonstrate his skills for someone like Xu Zhe.

"Really? That’s fantastic!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Xu Zhe felt a pang of regret for his impulsiveness. People with real skills usually guarded them closely. How could they just demonstrate them for anyone who asked?

But to his surprise, Shen Nian agreed without the slightest hesitation, sending a wave of elation through him. He couldn’t help but marvel internally, ’Our professor really found a great student! He found me a great junior sister!’

And throughout this entire process, it never crossed Xu Zhe’s mind that there was anything improper about a senior disciple like him asking for guidance from his junior.

There were no classes scheduled for that day. After leaving the classroom, Shen Nian didn’t head straight back to her dorm but went to the school library instead.

Shen Nian spent some time getting familiar with the library’s layout before checking out a few books on the fundamentals of Chinese medicine and heading back to her dorm.

When she got back to the dorm, Shen Nian realized she wasn’t the first one there.
