Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

However, despite that, there were quite a few people surrounding Gu Ci. Most of them were male students, and there was a group of top students from the Medical School. They wanted to be in the same group as Gu Ci for experiments, aiming for the highest scores with the least effort. They also wanted to be in the same group as Gu Ci for theory classes because she was well-prepared and had detailed study materials. Gu Ci was always the most sought-after target in study groups. Every day, someone would compete to buy her breakfast and fresh milk.

The top students in the Medical School didn’t care much about public opinion. Their goal was to excel academically.

So, Gu Ci’s university life was very peaceful.

He Miaomiao and Liu Yu invited her to join clubs, but she refused. Gu Ci would have lunch with them, then return to the dormitory to rest. Zhang Ping still didn’t like her and would speak with a sarcastic tone, but Gu Ci didn’t mind.

These four people in the Medical School were all top students.

Liu Yu and He Miaomiao quickly got boyfriends. Liu Yu’s boyfriend was from the School of Finance, and they apparently met during a joint activity. The boyfriend had been buying her breakfast for half a month, accompanied her to class and study sessions when they had no classes, and even got her hot water from the canteen every night. He was considerate and caring, and they soon started a romantic relationship.

He Miaomiao’s boyfriend was a classmate. When they had anatomy class together, He Miaomiao would scream in fear, but her boyfriend helped her get used to it. They were said to often meet in the anatomy laboratory. They were a couple of top students.

After those two started dating, they immediately invited their roommates to have a meal together. Their relationship with Zhang Ping was average, not bad, but not close either.

Zhang Ping agreed to the gathering, and Gu Ci went along with the flow since they were dormmates. The six of them went out to have hot pot.

He Miaomiao’s boyfriend was called Zhang Feng, and Liu Yu’s boyfriend was Fan Hui. Gu Ci had met them both. Zhang Feng had the typical appearance of a top student, with naturally curly hair and black-framed glasses. He was slim and tall. Fan Hui was not very tall but had a likable appearance. He was an interesting person. Zhang Ping had a bad temper, but during the banquet, she kept smiling, and the atmosphere was pleasant and cheerful.

“Cici, are you dating Lu Zhiyuan?” He Miaomiao asked gossipingly after the meal.

The boys were also curious and obviously fans of Lu Zhiyuan. They belonged to the category of not liking Gu Ci and were afraid that her relationship with Lu Zhiyuan would affect his competitions. After being repeatedly told off by his girlfriend, Lu Zhiyuan restrained himself. When He Miaomiao asked, both boys stared at Gu Ci intently, unable to hide their feelings.

Zhang Ping lost her smile, and Gu Ci said, “We’re getting to know each other.”

“You traveled to Haicheng together, went out to sea, rode the Ferris wheel, and even spent the night. But you didn’t start dating?” Zhang Feng adjusted his glasses. “This guy… is a bit unreliable.”

Gu Ci remained silent.

Fan Hui chuckled, “It’s better not to date than to date without a future!”

He Miaomiao and Liu Yu turned to look at Gu Ci, while Zhang Ping, with an air of nobility, said, “Break up quickly!”

Fan Hui was pinched by his girlfriend, and he cried out in pain, “I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing. Dating Lu Zhiyuan doesn’t have a future.”

Gu Ci laughed but didn’t respond to the topic. Luckily, they didn’t delve deeper into it. Relationships during university were usually pure, and their relationship seemed to be going well.

He Miaomiao said, “Our Cardiovascular Surgery department is adding an elective course, did you know?”

“I heard. The school sent a notification today,” Liu Yu said. “The professor’s name is Qin Yunsang, it sounds nice. She’s a female professor, but I couldn’t find any information about her despite searching.”

“Did you guys enroll?”

Zhang Ping shook her head and said, “There’s an open class tomorrow. They said if we attend the open class, we can decide afterward. I’m planning to specialize in pediatrics, so I’m not really interested in cardiovascular surgery.”

He Miaomiao lamented, “My schedule is already packed, I don’t want to take another elective course.”

Zhang Feng said, “If the course is interesting, you can consider it.”

Liu Yu asked Gu Ci, “What about you, Cici?”

“I don’t want to enroll either.” Gu Ci’s schedule was already quite full. She still wanted to audit the courses attended by Gu Ziyu occasionally and attend the professional courses on psychological therapy in the third year. She didn’t have much time.

“Hey, don’t worry for now. It’s after the National Day holiday,” Liu Yu said.

Gu Ci didn’t expect that the next day’s open class for cardiovascular surgery would be taught by Dr. North, and Qin Yunsang was her Chinese name? Dr. North wasn’t surnamed Li?

Dr. North looked well-maintained and appeared to be in her early thirties, with fair skin and fiery red lips. She had a mature and intellectual beauty that amazed the students as soon as she entered the classroom.

She made a name for herself very early on but didn’t practice in a hospital. Yet, she was in charge of many high-profile cases and was a role model that inspired many in the university.

In the multimedia classroom, initially, only one-third of the students were present, but gradually it became full.

Gu Ci calmly took notes. The class was witty, humorous, and very lively. The surgical cases were explained in a simple and understandable manner.

He Miaomiao asked, “Cici, why are you constantly rubbing your wrist? Does it hurt?”

Gu Ci smiled gently, “It’s nothing. I’m used to it.”

After the one-and-a-half-hour open class, Dr. North asked Gu Ci to stay behind. “Let’s have a drink tonight.”

“Sure!” Gu Ci replied calmly.

Gu Ci and Dr. North went to a cafe near the Global Center and ordered iced Americanos. Dr. North’s case was reopened and reinvestigated, and was released from prison with her charges cleared.

“I’m using coffee instead of wine to celebrate your release from prison,” Gu Ci raised her cup to toast. Dr. North clinked her cup and replied, “I was released from prison last week. I took care of some paperwork and found a place to live. It took me some time, and I originally wanted to meet you earlier.”

“Do you have something you want to discuss with me?” Gu Ci asked cautiously.

Dr. North smiled and said, “I won’t ask you why you knew about Little Cherry’s situation, why you knew about me being in prison and all those secrets. It doesn’t matter to me. I have been appointed as a visiting professor at University A. Gu Ci, I want to take you as my student. I don’t know if you’re willing or not.”

Being accepted as a student by the famous Dr. Nors was a dream come true for many. In her previous life, Gu Ci was also Dr. North’s only disciple.

Gu Ci rubbed her wrist and asked, “Why?”

“Because you have great talent,” Dr. North said. “With all that I have learned, I hope to help you achieve your goals and make you successful. This is my way of showing gratitude.”

Gu Ci shook her head. “Dr. North, 1 came to you in prison because I needed your help to save my grandmother. You don’t need to repay me. Black is black, and white is white. You were innocent, and it was only reasonable for you to be released from prison. There’s no need for you to repay me.”

Dr. North raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips. “How do you know that I’m truly innocent?”

Gu Ci remained silent.

She calmly sipped her coffee and said, “Gu Ci, why are you so cautious around me? Have 1 ever harmed you?”

“I’m naturally cautious, and I don’t like unexpected favors. If Dr. North wants to take on an apprentice, the students in the medical school would all sign up willingly to be your disciples..”
