"If there's nothing else, I'll be off then," Wei Zhao said.
"Goodbye. No need to see me out," Bai Lingtou replied.
Wei Zhao shrugged. Bai Lingtou really was an odd one—and odder still was the relationship between them. He had plainly saved the man's life, yet Bai Lingtou now said not a word about the past. What astonished Wei Zhao even more was the man's grasp of medicine and pharmacology; he clearly knew his business inside out!
No wonder even You Panhu held him in such respect. This obscure little specialty had hidden away a man of such caliber!
Leaving Bai Lingtou's office, Wei Zhao did not return to the classroom but went straight back to the dormitory.
"Brother Lin, what did my grandfather say to you?" Bai Weituo rushed over the moment he saw Wei Zhao come in.
"Nothing much. I recommended you for class monitor, and Wang Xinyan can take vice monitor. I don't have the time," Wei Zhao said bluntly.
"Huh? You're kidding? And then? My grandfather agreed?" Bai Weituo asked, puzzled.
"He agreed." Wei Zhao nodded.
"He actually agreed?" Bai Weituo was taken aback. Wei Zhao had saved his grandfather's life, true, but these past few days the old man had done nothing at home but grumble about how he meant to knock some sense into Wei Zhao and make the boy his prized disciple. So Bai Weituo had not been the least bit surprised that his grandfather wanted Wei Zhao as class monitor—what stunned him was that Wei Zhao had turned it down, and his grandfather had simply agreed.
"He did." Wei Zhao nodded.
"That's unbelievable." Bai Weituo was instantly astonished.
"Heh, it's fine." Wei Zhao said no more. The dormitory was crowded; familiar as they all were with one another, he was not about to spell out the truth of the matter.
"By the way, Brother Lin, are you free this afternoon?" Bai Weituo asked.
"This afternoon? Let me check." Wei Zhao remembered what the young miss had said yesterday about keeping an eye on him for Feng Xiaoxiao's sake, so he sent her a text first, lest she be displeased later.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were in the economics department, which was far busier than Wei Zhao's medical specialty. The economics students had class officer campaign speeches, department student council campaign speeches, university student council campaign speeches, and more—so there was no time off at all that afternoon. Not even tomorrow!
So when Wei Zhao asked, the young miss replied promptly: her department had things going on that afternoon, so Wei Zhao could arrange his own time.
"I'm free," Wei Zhao said.
"This relative of yours really does manage a lot—you even have to ask permission to go out in the afternoon. A girlfriend couldn't be any stricter," Bai Weituo said in surprise.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao thought to himself that this was on a girlfriend's behalf, so it was about the same, wasn't it?
"Alright, since you're free, I've arranged to meet He Meiyue and her roommates. Let's all go out this afternoon! Zhao Shengji and Song Xiaodao are both from out of town and want to look around. Brother Lin, I recall you're not from Donghai City either... oh, right, you have relatives here!" Bai Weituo rattled on.
"I don't come here often," Wei Zhao said. "But He Meiyue and the others are free this afternoon too?"
"They're not running for class officer, so they have nothing to do. The afternoon is when each specialty holds its class officer elections," Bai Weituo explained.
"I see!" Wei Zhao nodded. "Then let's go out and look around?"
At one in the afternoon, in front of Building One of the biology department, Wei Zhao, Bai Weituo, Song Xiaodao, and Zhao Shengji met up with He Meiyue, Wang Xinyan, and Chai Xiaoling. As for Lan Xiaoru, she was said to be out on a date with her boyfriend and had no time.
Instead, beside He Meiyue stood two young men. One of them was talking animatedly to her when Wei Zhao and the others arrived.
"Wang Xinyan!" Wei Zhao greeted her and strode quickly over.
