"Thank you so much, classmate. If it weren't for you saving me, I..."

Hao Sanmei looked at Wang Xinyue with gratitude. She had nothing and didn't know how to repay her.

"Alright, alright, go report for duty now."

Wang Xinyue waved her hand, dismissing Hao Sanmei.

Actually, she wasn't that kind-hearted. If it weren't for the fact that it was Zhou Nian who was causing trouble, she probably would have just pretended not to see it.

There are so many injustices in the world, she doesn't have time to meddle in everything.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ruan Qiushui picked up her backpack from the bicycle basket and went inside.

"Ruan Qiushui, wait for me."

"You were about to help that person just now, weren't you? It seems you still can't shake this kind of helpfulness."

Wang Xinyue quickly ran to Ruan Qiushui's side and reached out to put her hand on her shoulder.

What are you doing?

Ruan Qiushui frowned and turned to avoid Wang Xinyue's hand.

"What are you doing? Don't you recognize me?"

"Ruan Qiushui, it's only been a short time since we last met, did you lose your mind while you were in the countryside?"

Wang Xinyue looked surprised. If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Qiushui's face left a deep impression on her, she would have really thought she had mistaken someone else for someone else.

"You are Wang Xinyue."

Upon closer inspection, Ruan Qiushui realized that it was indeed someone she knew.

The Ruan and Wang families were not old friends, nor did they live in the same place. They were able to get to know each other entirely through Zhou Nian's matchmaking.

I remember when Ruan Qiushui was in first grade, she once secretly ran to her maternal grandfather's house and happened to run into Wang Xinyue being beaten by Zhou Nian and her gang.

Under the tutelage of Ruan Hengzhi, young Ruan Qiushui was filled with a strong sense of justice.

It is unfair to bully the weak with numbers, so Ruan Qiushui naturally stepped in to help.

Ruan Qiushui was in poor health, but thanks to Ruan Hengzhi who taught her some self-defense moves, she was able to easily knock down the unsuspecting Zhou Nian.

In a one-on-one situation, Wang Xinyue also chased away another child.

From then on, Wang Xinyue followed Ruan Qiushui around all day, wanting to be her friend.

Unable to resist her persistent pestering, Ruan Qiushui nodded in agreement.

During those turbulent years, the girl was sent by her parents to her grandfather's house in the countryside, and they never saw each other again.

"You finally remembered me."

Wang Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief; she was really afraid that Ruan Qiushui would forget about her.

"By the way, I told you not to play with Wei Weiwei before I left, did you listen?"

When Wei Weiwei insisted on becoming friends with Ruan Qiushui, Wang Xinyue sensed something was wrong.

It wasn't that she looked down on Wei Weiwei's family because of their poor financial situation, but who would be a friend who would take food, give money, and lend money to others?

Isn't this treating Ruan Qiushui like a sucker?

She told her several times, but the next day Ruan Qiushui still played with Wei Weiwei as usual, which made her mentally collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that they had fought together for a year, she wouldn't have bothered with her.

"Wei Weiwei is still in jail right now."

He was sentenced to twenty years in prison back then. By the time Wei Weiwei gets out, she'll probably be almost forty.

"What happened?"

Wang Xinyue tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her lips and asked excitedly and gossipy.

"Attempted murder by hiring someone to kill someone failed."

Ruan Qiushui didn't want to say more about this.

"This is truly gratifying."

Someone as cunning as Wei Weiwei, with a mind as intricate as a fishing net, deserved this fate.

"Come on, let's go register together. What's your major? Let me tell you..."

Wang Xinyue put her arm around Ruan Qiushui's shoulder and walked inside.

Wang Xinyue took the English supplementary test on the third day of the college entrance examination, so it was only natural that she applied for the English major.

The two arrived at the registration desk, looked at the names of the majors written on the table, and lined up to register.

"Comrade, are you Ruan Qiushui? Do you know Mr. He Xianwei?"

The female teacher in charge of registration looked at Ruan Qiushui's admission notice, adjusted her glasses, and examined it carefully.

"Yes, I am Ruan Qiushui. As for Mr. He Xianwei, I have met him twice before."

Ruan Qiushui nodded and answered truthfully.

"That's you, come with me now."

Zheng Qing looked excited and stood up to take Ruan Qiushui's hand.

"Excuse me, where are we going? I haven't registered yet."

"Look, there are still so many people waiting behind us."

Ruan Qiushui was completely baffled. Why did she have to make a trip just because she knew Mr. He Xianwei?

Does that mean Mr. He is also at Peking University? Or has his heart condition relapsed?

"Li Ming, come here for a second and help me hold the fort."

Zheng Qing happened to see a colleague returning from the restroom and waved to her.

"Now you can come with me."

Zheng Qing gave some instructions to her colleagues and quickly took Ruan Qiushui upstairs.

Ruan Qiushui wasn't worried that this woman had ulterior motives, but what was going on with her refusing to register for school?

The two went to the principal's office on the third floor, knocked on the door, and went inside.

"Principal Du, Mr. He, Mr. Meng, I've brought Comrade Ruan with me."

Zheng Qing led Ruan Qiushui to the door, then wisely withdrew and closed the door.

"This is?"

Inside the house, besides Mr. He Xianwei, whom I knew, there were two other elderly men with white hair.

Seeing them grinning and showing their teeth, looking at her with smiles, they didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Oh my, Ruan girl, you've finally arrived. Come, come, have a seat."

He Xianwei was drinking tea when he saw Ruan Qiushui arrive, so he quickly got up to greet her.

"Mr. He, is your heart feeling unwell again?"

Ruan Qiushui sat in the chair, took the teacup that He Xianwei handed her, and placed it aside.

"this."

He Xianwei glanced at Lao Du on his left and blinked.

After learning on the train that Ruan Qiushui had come to Peking University, He Xianwei's first task upon arriving at Peking University was to verify Ruan Qiushui's position.

Unexpectedly, after searching through all the staff files, I couldn't find any information about her. Finally, I saw her name in the new student enrollment section.

Such talent would be a waste to have someone like that as a student; he should definitely be put to good use as a mentor.

He Xianwei immediately reported the situation to Lao Du, urging him to do everything he could to bring the person into the teaching profession and contribute to the country's talent cultivation.

"Comrade Ruan, it's like this. I heard from Lao He that your medical skills are excellent, so I'd like to test you. Is that alright?"

With a kind and amiable face, Du Wen handed Ruan Qiushui a set of test papers.

He wanted to see for himself just how capable Ruan Yatou really was, given the incredible skills that old man He Xianwei had taught her.

"Test me?"

Why does this scene look so familiar?

Last time, He Xianwei made her take a test and then gave her a medical practice certificate.

Can we just issue her a graduation certificate after this exam?

"Ruan girl, show me your true skills and let Old Du see what you're capable of."

In the end, Lao Du still didn't believe him, otherwise he wouldn't have tested Ruan Yatou again.

"Oh well."

For Mr. He's sake, it's just a waste of time.
