Shen Yushu returned to the classroom, said a word to the teacher, and then sat down beside Gu Mengyao.
"Xiaoshu, what happened to you? You went to the restroom and were gone over half an hour?" Gu Mengyao glanced at the time on her phone and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, I got up too rushed this morning and forgot to use the restroom..." Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue.
"Even so, that was far too long. How come you didn't fall in!" Gu Mengyao asked no more and went back to listening to the lecture.
"Hee..." Shen Yushu said. "I nearly did fall in."
The class period passed quickly. Wei Zhao, too, finished his cultivation and opened his eyes. He was just about to say a couple of words to Wang Xinyan when he saw You Panhu and Kang Jinglong walking toward him together.
"Xinyan, how about we go out for a walk together?" Kang Jinglong walked to Wei Zhao's desk as though no one else were there, extended his hand, and invited Wang Xinyan — as if he did not have Wei Zhao in his eyes at all.
"Han Jingyi, how is your alchemy study coming along? Shall we compare notes?" At the same time, You Panhu plopped himself down beside Han Jingyi and asked.
Wei Zhao could not help frowning. What were these two up to? One working his way close to Wang Xinyan, the other to Han Jingyi — had the two of them planned this beforehand?
"Sorry, I need to read," Wang Xinyan said to Kang Jinglong. She showed no particular aversion, but neither did she show much warmth; she merely raised the book in her hand calmly.
"Heh, Xinyan, we are boyfriend and girlfriend after all. We haven't seen each other for so long — won't you give me a chance?" Kang Jinglong said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, the final exams are coming up and I need to study hard. There are still so many questions I haven't worked out," Wang Xinyan said, keeping her smile, neither warm nor cold.
"Is that so... heh, I am a doctoral student, after all. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me and I'll explain it," Kang Jinglong said, quick on his feet; if Wang Xinyan wanted to study, he could find a way to engage her too. With a slight smile, he sat down directly in the seat in front of Wei Zhao.
Since it was the break between classes, the student in front of Wei Zhao had conveniently gone out for some activity, giving Kang Jinglong a fine opportunity.
"Oh, that works too." Wang Xinyan opened her notebook, pushed a question in front of Kang Jinglong, and said, "Then I'll trouble Dr. Kang to analyze this question for me: in this prescription, what role does charred betel nut play, and can it be replaced by another Chinese medicine? After replacement, would the efficacy be stronger or weaker than the original prescription?"
"Let me have a look..." Kang Jinglong took the notebook with a great show of ease, but after a careful glance at the question, his expression changed at once! This was a highly obscure prescription — Kang Jinglong had never even seen it before! If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to come vote
