Then she led Du Wei into the pharmacy building.

Gu Yunzhen sat in the car and watched through the window as she walked briskly into the building. A young man walked towards her, and the two disappeared around the corner.

He lowered his gaze and clenched his fists into his hands, which were resting on his lap.

On the other side, Shangguan Wu and the young man entered the elevator.

Shangguan Wu looked at Luo Wei, who was a head taller than her, and said, "Thank you for this, senior."

If she only finds out on the day of departure, and she has already taken a spot, withdrawing would tarnish the teacher's reputation.

Even so, she could only feel sorry for her teacher.

Will I feel guilty?

Definitely.

Fortunately, her senior had told her in advance.

Luo Wei's eyes flickered; she still called him "senior"!

Oh well, some things can't be forced.

Luo Wei smiled at her and said, "You've thanked me three times already, so don't say it again."

Shangguan Wu shook his head and smiled in response: "That was said on WeChat. Now that I've met you, senior, of course I should thank you in person."

Luo Wei was slightly distracted by her smile, but when he caught a glimpse of the bodyguard behind her, he suddenly calmed down.

Did you come alone?

Shangguan Wu shook her head: "No, my husband brought me here."

Luo Wei's expression changed drastically, and he asked in great shock, "You're married?"

Shangguan Wu hadn't expected such a strong reaction, and nodded slightly: "Yes!"

"..."

Luo Wei could hardly believe it; his junior was so young, yet she was already married!

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does your husband do?"

Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "Him? He's in business."

Luo Wei paused for a moment. It seemed that when her husband was mentioned, her smile broadened and her eyes filled with joy. So she really loved her husband, right?

"Junior Sister, is it because of your husband that you don't want to go?"

He had just asked the question when suddenly the elevator doors opened with a ding.

Luo Wei stepped out of the elevator first and reminded her, "Professor Bian is in the second laboratory on the right."

"Then I'll go."

Shangguan Wu walked to the right.

Luo Wei watched as she knocked on the laboratory door, and frowned when he saw the bodyguard go in with her.

Just then, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was Xia Wanning, a junior from my school.

"Hello."

"Senior! Please, you absolutely must keep Senior Shangguan here. This is about whether your dear junior will live on dirt or starve in the future."

Luo Wei's lips twitched: "Is there a difference between the two?"

"Waaaaah, so you absolutely have to keep Senior Shangguan here!"

Xia Wanning on the other end of the phone really cried. The talent scout couldn't find her that day and asked her for a refund, but she had spent nearly 10,000 yuan playing with her friends all day. She thought she would have to ask her family for money, but when she passed by the celebrity bulletin board at the medical school, she saw Shangguan Wu's photo in it and was completely stunned!

So she's my senior, Shangguan Wu!

Just then, a friend told her that she saw Luo Wei and Shangguan Wu walking together in the pharmacy building, so Xia Wanning immediately called Luo Wei.

"What do you need her for?"

"I need her to do me a small favor. She's beautiful and kind-hearted, she'll definitely help, right?"

"What kind of help?"

Can I not tell you?

"I'm hanging up the phone."

"Hey, hey, please, I'll tell you! Here's what happened: someone asked me to help them find her. I stood her up last time, and she's already on her way, she'll be there in about half an hour. If she still hasn't found me by then, she'll definitely give me a piece of her mind. Please, senior, help me out, I'm begging you!"

Luo Wei asked bluntly, "Did you take the money?"

Xia Wanning: "..."

Luo Wei, his face turning ashen with rage, shouted, "Give the money back!"

"I returned it, but I already spent 10,000 yuan of it."

Xia Wanning wanted to cry again. This time she had suffered a major setback. She now knew that what fell from the sky was not necessarily a pie in the sky, but could also be a brick or a trap!

Luo Wei's tone was very stern: "How could you do such a thing? Do you know that among the teams going to 'Apricot Grove in Full Bloom,' whether it's the team leader or the apprentices, character is the most important criterion?"

"Senior, I know I was wrong. Please, I really want to be a medical volunteer in the mountains."

"This isn't something I can decide. You'll have to figure out how to salvage the situation yourself."

Luo Wei hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

At the same time, there was a moment of silence in the laboratory.

Shangguan Wu told the teacher the truth.

Bian Changyuan was truly disappointed to hear his favorite student give the reason for not participating in the event—that it was because of romantic love.

"I'm asking you one last time. Think it through before you answer. It'll be too late for you to regret it later."

Faced with the teacher's final chance, Shangguan Wu could only say, "I'm sorry, teacher, I have thought it over carefully."

Bian Changyuan withdrew his gaze in disappointment: "You can leave now."

Goodbye, teacher.

Shangguan Wu turned and left.

As she reached the door, ready to open it, Bian Changyuan suddenly asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Shangguan Wu turned around abruptly and answered confidently and calmly, "Of course!"

Bian Changyuan nodded, and after a long while, he said meaningfully, "I always believe that your identity is not important. As long as you have a passion from the bottom of your heart, you will persist for a long time and do better and better."

Whether they are from a wealthy family or not is not important.

Whether she is married or not is not important.

The most important question is whether she still has a compassionate heart to heal and save lives!
