Tang Beibei didn’t leave with Fu Jin after school.
She went to the library first to finish her homework and revision for today’s lessons. And then she rushed to Professor Chen’s office to update him on Madam Wu.
Professor Chen was in a good mood today, so he taught her a little longer and Tang Beibei took notes seriously.
Before the session ended, Tang Beibei told him what Madam Wu’s doctor, the chief physician, said to her and asked Professor Chen what he thought.
Professor Chen sighed. “Although we are students of medicine, we don’t have to help everyone. Do your best with what you already have on your plate.”
“Helping other patients will be up to fate.”
Professor Chen was not superstitious. He was just worried that this young girl would be too anxious to help others and if she failed, she might blame herself and be stuck with guilt forever.
It was unrealistic to expect doctors to be like God with universal love.
“Do you understand me?”
Tang Beibei nodded. “Yes, Teacher. Although I really want to help those people, I know my place. If I want to help more people, I should focus on my studies now and read more.”
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasized disease prevention over cure.
Professor Chen was very pleased to see that she understood.
“Madam Wu still needs to recuperate on her own. I know you’re busy, so you can stop treating her in a week.”
“Alright, thank you for your understanding, Teacher!”
Professor Chen nodded and reminded her not to slack off in her studies. The textbooks were only the foundation. She had to build a good foundation as well as add on.
Tang Beibei walked out of the school admin building and sighed as she thought about the books piled up at home that she had to read.
She still had a long way to go!
As she walked out of the school gate, she opened an app on her phone to check the bus schedule.
She was walking to the bus stop when a car stopped in front of her. She quickly avoided and walked around it.
The car door opened, and a man gave her a bouquet of roses.
Tang Beibei was flattered but took a few steps back. She looked at the man in front of her awkwardly.
“Senior, Senior Bai Qian, what are you doing?”
She didn’t dare to accept his roses.
“Nothing much. I was passing by your school and wanted to see you. Will you be my tour guide and show me around A-University?”
Tang Beibei scratched her head. “I’m really sorry. I still have class. I have to go now.”
“Beibei, don’t be so reserved. We’ll work together at some point when you start doing research. We may as well become friends now.” Bai Qian smiled and handed the flowers to her.
He would be embarrassed if he brought her flowers, and she didn’t accept them.
“Senior Bai Qian, you must be confused. We’re already friends.”
“As for working together, I’m not sure what will happen in the future. I really have to go.”
Anyone who knew better would know that Tang Beibei was rejecting them.
But Bai Qian refused to give up. He had specially made a trip here and even brought her a bouquet of roses. Wouldn’t his trip be wasted if he didn’t get any closer to Tang Beibei?
“Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”
“No need, no need. It’s very convenient for me to take a bus. I’m not going too far anyway. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Bai Qian.”
Bai Qian replied with a smile, “You know that I have good intentions. Then, accept these flowers. This bouquet of roses suits you.”
Tang Beibei still waved her hand and refused. “No, thanks. Your flowers are very beautiful. They are probably quite expensive, so don’t waste them on me. Besides, I don’t like roses.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Qian stopped her again. “Beibei, what kind of flowers do you like? I’ll buy them for you no matter how expensive they are.”
Tang Beibei frowned. “I like flowers that are sensible and know their limits. Senior Bai Qian, do you understand?”
Were there flowers in this world that were sensible and knew their limits?
The adjectives probably only applied to the giver of such flowers.
She was rejecting him!
Bai Qian saw that Tang Beibei had run to the bus stop. He stared at the flowers and threw them into the car gloomily.
Jiang Jingchen, who was not far away, witnessed all of this.
He chuckled when he heard his wife say that she liked sensible flowers.
Now he could imagine the scene when Tang Beibei rejected Fu Jin back then. It must have been brutal too… No one could refute her.
He drove to the bus stop, rolled down the window, and hooked his finger at her.
“Pretty girl, would you like a ride? The fare is very cheap.”
Tang Beibei was hugging her bag. When she saw Jiang Jingchen, she smiled and quickly went to open the door of the front passenger seat.
However, a strange woman stopped her and said with a smile, “How about we share the ride? You can ride in the back.”
“… No, no sharing.”
The woman looked at Jiang Jingchen in the driver’s seat with interest and said with a smile, “I’m from this school too. Handsome, how much is your fare?”
Jiang Jingchen was just kidding around with his wife. He didn’t expect this strange woman to be so forward.
“The fare is your life. Are you going to give that to me?”
The smile on the woman’s face froze. “Hey, why are you scaring me? I’m taking your car because you’re handsome. You’re just a driver. Why are you so arrogant?”
Tang Beibei, who was pushed aside, explained weakly, “He’s my husband. He only drives me.”
The woman looked at Tang Beibei in shock and embarrassment.
However, she was reluctant. How could such a handsome man be married to such an ugly woman?
She flipped her hair, thinking that she was very beautiful, and said, “How do you prove that he’s your husband?”
Jiang Jingchen hooked his finger at the strange woman, and the woman craned her neck in excitedly.
She knew it. This woman just wanted the handsome man for herself and said that he was her husband. She was delusional.
She then heard the man’s cold voice. “It’s the law of nature that I’m her husband. Law of nature requires no proof!”
The woman looked embarrassed as she backed away.
Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei, who was standing next to the strange woman. She was quite direct when rejecting other men, but why was she so timid in front of women?
“Obedient Beibei, get in the car!”
“Yes.”
Tang Beibei walked around the woman and opened the car door.
Jiang Jingchen leaned over and reached out to her ear. Tang Beibei closed her eyes nervously and gulped subconsciously.
Jiang Jingchen helped her buckle her seatbelt, looked up at her trembling eyelashes, smiled, and gave her a peck on her lips.
He looked at the woman outside the window with a sneer before he looked away indifferently and started the car.
After driving a distance, Tang Beibei covered her hot cheeks and sighed as she looked at him.
“Sigh, I need to keep a closer eye on you from now on. If I’m not careful, you’ll be snatched away.”
Jiang Jingchen turned to look at her. “It’s useless for you to keep an eye on someone who can be snatched away. It’s a waste of your eyes.”
Tang Beibei frowned. “Do you mean you can be snatched away?”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement. It took skill to argue with her.
“Yes, I can be snatched away.”
Tang Beibei said with a bitter face, “We’re married. It’s for life! You can’t let others snatch you away!”
Jiang Jingchen raised his hand to scratch her chin like he was playing with a cat.
“Only tigers and wolves can use their eyes to stare and intimidate others. You’re a cat. Don’t stare, catch!”
“What you’ve caught is yours, my Obedient Beibei..”
