Chapter 7

Many people are curious about who Ying Ruyue is, after all, Dr. Wen is well-known for his disinterest in women at S University Affiliated Hospital.

As he expected, there will always be a flaw in her meticulousness and shrewdness.

A group of people eager to hear some gossip sighed and reminded, "Don't give such an official response; think seriously, don't you have any other thoughts?"

Such diligent self-deprecation should be able to satisfy everyone, right

For instance, what are your thoughts on having an outstanding senior like Wen Jingran

Under excessive academic pressure, she can only grit her teeth and persevere

By the time he awoke, the sun had already set behind the western mountains. The sky had fallen into a deep silence, and the surroundings were enveloped by the night, appearing particularly desolate and lonely

There was a moment when he maliciously thought, could this be considered a prank he played on himself for being abandoned by her in the afternoon

Always maintaining a proper distance with a demeanor that is both gentle and refined

There was a casual smile in the depths of the eyes, hinting at a sense of narrowing.

The implication is rather ambiguous

It is rare to see a girl who personally shows the room, personally delivers a fruit platter, and personally pulls out the chair with such attentive care, naturally making one curious and holding their breath, fearing that any lapse in attention might result in missing important information

Impressions

After she mentioned who it was, he then wanted to dig deeper and ask what was being compared

result

In any case, as long as it is Wen Jingran, he finds everything extremely pleasing to the eye.

Wen Jingran lifted the blanket and stood up

After all, she had witnessed Wen Jingran's narrow-mindedness

However, since it is the first formal meeting, I recalled it very seriously as promised and said earnestly: "Senior brother is too outstanding, and will always be compared."

It is just a matter of straightforwardly hinting to the old gentleman: "Look at how well your top ten favored students get along with your precious granddaughter; shouldn't you consider elevating the teacher-student relationship a bit?"

Wishing to study abroad and improve her professional grades, she worked tirelessly to enhance her capabilities.

And each of her days is like a spinning top, never pausing for a moment

Wen Jingran slept for several hours straight.

Oh?

Having stepped out of the room and about to close the door, at the last moment, something came to mind, and I turned around to glance at the card slot by the door.

This was indeed expected

Thus, she blinked a few times as promised, looking back at him with an innocent expression and said: "Senior brother, you don't know?"

Many people have already taken their seats in the Songhui Hall, and through the screen, one can hear the nearby conversations. Someone must have said something amusing, as the room fell silent for a moment, only to be followed by a wave of laughter that echoed continuously.

Wen Jingran, however, seemed to be completely unaware of this moment of eerie silence, quietly gazing at her.

As I thought about how I should greet him, it seemed he was about to wake up. Calculating the time to leave, I found myself at a loss for what kind of expression to wear.

The entrance features a set of ten screens adorned with carved lacquer and a silver background, depicting the theme of pine and crane symbolizing longevity and prosperity. The silver-hued screens shimmer brilliantly under the initial lighting of the room

Do not say that one can see a girl getting out of his car; even during his usual work at the hospital, surrounded by so many glamorous female nurses, female doctors, and female patients, Dr. Wen has not been seen to glance at them more than twice.

Wen Jingran recalled the white wax oil in the aroma lamp that had not yet fully solidified, inhaling the faint scent of lavender that still lingered in the room, and then looking at the pair of slippers neatly placed, perfectly aligned with the center line of the bottom layer of the shoe cabinet

Wen Jingran was the last batch of students accepted by the old gentleman. On ordinary days, Wen Jingran's respect for his teacher was evident to everyone. At this moment, he was particularly warm towards the teacher's granddaughter, and for a time, no one thought much of it. They all shifted their focus and began to inquire as expected.

He averted his gaze, walked to the entrance, opened the cabinet door, and bent down to take a look at the bottom of the shoe rack

As the granddaughter of the esteemed Mr. Ying, what are your thoughts

She has a habit of placing the shoes she changes out in the center of the bottom of the shoe cabinet, occupying the midpoint without deviation, whenever there is an empty shoe rack

Unexpectedly, the old master let out a light hum, without making any further comment

One should bypass the screen as agreed

Should be as promised, speechless

Everyone was looking at her with extraordinary unanimity

It is rare to see her in such a childlike manner again, Wen Jingran smiled faintly, his fingers lightly tapping twice on the back of the chair, and then asked: "Who compared you to me?"

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she caught a glimpse of the shadow beside her darkening. Turning her head, she saw Wen Jingran pulling out the chair next to her and sitting down. He placed one hand on the back of her chair, leaning slightly forward to a distance of an arm's length from her, looking at her directly: "So, are you saying that you want to take the entrance exam for University A because I am at University S?"

Perhaps due to growing up under the guidance of Master Ying, Ruyue has never been one to cry out in grievance since childhood. No matter how challenging the situation, her instinctive reaction is to resolve it on her own

Songhui Hall is a high-end small banquet hall located within the Dongjushan Club.

After waking up, he probably took a shower, and he had changed into a new set of clothes. The gray sweater made his features appear particularly soft.

He straightened up, did not look back, and prepared to leave by unfastening the doorknob

Upon hearing the footsteps behind the screen, the laughter of the crowd ceased, and everyone looked up.

During that period, the pressure she imposed on herself was nearly overwhelming, but it was Wen Jingran who first noticed that something was amiss with her and timely alerted her.

Wen Jingran leaned against the chair beneath him, holding a wine glass in his hand. The shallow bay of red wine in the glass was gently swirled by him, tracing crescent-shaped arcs along the transparent wall of the cup

Indeed, everyone laughed heartily for a while, and thus did not make things difficult for her

Suddenly, the deliberately lowered voices of conversation ceased, the lingering laughter vanished, and all sounds disappeared

Wen Jingran smiled and said: "This is my junior apprentice sister, the granddaughter of the old gentleman."

At this moment, the bottom layer of the shoe rack only holds the slippers prepared by the club

Thus, just as I was about to take a step forward as promised, intending to bring this meaningless confrontation to an end

The previously stagnant atmosphere was like a balloon that had been tied off and then released, suddenly flowing again.

She was just speaking casually

The candle inside the aroma lamp has not completely burned down, and the wax has melted under high temperatures, gradually solidifying into wax oil, which is laid out in a milky white color in the small jar

It should be she who blew it out

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, although he said nothing, his overtly inviting gesture seemed to convey everything.

He listened carefully to the sounds inside the room; it was very quiet, with not even the frequency of breathing overlapping.

As for where she lost the bet... she still does not know to this day

He then raised his eyes and glanced at her, his gaze lingering slightly on her before he stood up and pulled out the chair he had been leaning against, gesturing for her to come and sit down

Behind the screen depicting the pine and crane in spring, there is a dining table, at which a few guests are already seated in a semi-circle at the lower side of the table.

On the other side, in front of the screen, Old Master Ying and his friends gazed at the scene of the pine and crane symbolizing longevity through the gaps of the intricately curved screen for a long time.

Sometimes, even those who are punctual lament for the old master, wondering why Wen Jingran is merely his student and not his own grandson

He raised his hand and effortlessly pulled her room card from the slot, gripping it in his palm

The result is merely the junior apprentice sister

Your friend envies: "Your relationship with this student is quite good, isn't it?"

Ultimately, it was a misstep in the game of chess, and now it is truly a situation of unspoken suffering

Those inquisitive and scrutinizing gazes, imbued with a variety of emotions, all fell upon her

Zhen Zhen compared her features with those of Dr. Wen and concluded that Wen Jingran's features, whether viewed individually or in combination, are flawless and appear as if sculpted by the hand of a creator deity.

Later, the old gentleman fell ill and fainted without warning while he was getting up to serve the meal

At 6 o'clock in the evening, she received a call from the old master as scheduled, instructing her to go to the Songhui Hall first to gather for dinner

This trip involves a large number of people, including elder relatives and peers, making it inevitable to organize a gathering

Compared to Zhen Zhen, who is shallow and superficial, the old gentleman possesses much more natural depth, surpassing her in overall quality, psychological resilience, and interpersonal skills

It seems that she has gone out

As promised, I racked my brains and said: "Senior brother, you are too outstanding. Apart from needing to do a lot of practice questions, I don't even dare to apply to your school, fearing that after the teachers place high hopes on me, they will find out that I am actually just a good-for-nothing"

She believed that Wen Jingran should know better than anyone else the reason for her attending A Medical School

The twilight's remaining light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling window, and he walked straight through that patch of light and shadow to the aroma lamp.

At that time, she harbored a desire to study abroad, and her already heavy academic workload felt like a mountain pressing down on her. From the moment she opened her eyes in the morning, she was like a tightly strung bow.

Even though he is smiling now, it does not seem very benevolent, and he looks particularly like a beast in human clothing

As expected, he was so frightened that he lost his composure. Once this incident passed, he abandoned the idea of going abroad for further studies and chose to attend the medical school of University A instead

He sat up in the evening twilight, which was as fluid as water. The aroma lamp placed on the high platform in the small living room had already been extinguished, yet the air was still filled with the faint, lingering fragrance of lavender, refreshing and soothing to the soul

Do you still need to think about it

What thoughts might she have
