Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
The next day.
Su Yan went back to school after waking up.
She also bought breakfast from a snack stall near the school before returning to her dormitory.
She thought her roommates would still be sleeping at this time of day on the weekend, but when she pushed the door open, she found all three of them reading in their respective seats.
"Huh? It's Saturday today, and you guys didn't sleep in?" she exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Ting was taken aback when she saw her. "Why are you back at school so soon?"
Su Yan closed the door and placed the breakfasts she was carrying on their table one by one. She sighed and said, "I took such a long leave, how could I dare to slack off? I came back to catch up on the progress. It's just in time that you woke up, so I brought you breakfast. You can have something hot to eat."
She bought lean meat porridge and meat buns.
There's a distance between the school and the dormitory, so she didn't buy soup noodles, afraid they'd get soggy.
Bai Meng looked at the breakfast on the table, scratched her nose, and said, "Thank you."
Deng Ziyi opened the food without ceremony, saying, "We haven't eaten yet, thank you for spending money, new roommate."
Su Yan smiled and said, "What's the big deal about breakfast? I'm new to the school, so I'll have to trouble you if there's anything I don't understand."
She still wanted to get along well with her roommates, even though they weren't in the same major.
"We're all in the same dorm, what's the trouble?" Chen Ting said. "We also want to sleep in, but reality doesn't allow it. We're still studying, it's too difficult."
Su Yan returned to her seat and hesitated before asking, "Are laboratory science and Western medicine both this difficult?"
Deng Ziyi turned her head and looked at her with a look of utter despair. "Our school has monthly tests every month. If you fail, you get one chance to retake the test. If you fail the retake, you have to stay after the end of the semester for a third test."
"Huh? So strict?" Su Yan was extremely uneasy.
What about her major that combines Chinese and Western learning?
"Otherwise what? I heard that your Sino-Western integration major is even more outrageous. Director Zhong requires a test every two weeks because the school pays close attention to the students in Sino-Western integration majors to see how much you can actually learn."
The program, which combines Chinese and Western elements, has only 85 colleges and only 2 classes.
There are few people, so it's not troublesome to keep a close eye on them.
Su Yan's lips twitched, and her face immediately fell.
Chen Ting couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who told you that your major is newly established? Director Chen said that before the start of the semester, the principal held a meeting and said that we must focus on the key points of combining Chinese and Western approaches, because it is not easy to learn this major well."
What can Su Yan do?
She herself wanted to switch to a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and no matter how difficult it was, she was determined to learn it through tears.
"It's okay, I refuse to believe I can't conquer this major!" she said through gritted teeth.
Bai Meng gave her a thumbs up and said, "Well said, I believe in you!"
Su Yan didn't expect Bai Meng to speak up so suddenly, but she came over and said with a smile, "Bai Meng, you don't seem like a person who doesn't like to talk."
The main thing is that Bai Meng is not introverted or shy at all, just a bit aloof, but when she speaks, she gives people a very lively feeling.
Bai Meng touched her nose and awkwardly turned her face away, "I don't know what to say."
"You guessed right. It's not that she doesn't like to talk; it's just that she's too straightforward and easily offends people. She's already offended half the people in our class," Deng Ziyi explained, on the verge of tears.
Not many people in her class liked to play with Bai Meng, and she felt that if she didn't play with Bai Meng, she would be too lonely.
Besides, they were in the same dormitory, so she couldn't isolate her roommate.
Although Deng Ziyi has some spoiled princess tendencies, she is still very upright at heart.
Moreover, she felt that Bai Meng simply liked to speak the truth, and that people liked to hear nice things but not bad things, so it wasn't Bai Meng's fault.
When did telling the truth become wrong?
Su Yan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Bai Meng was a little embarrassed. "If I say anything that makes you unhappy in the future, please tell me immediately."
She didn't care whether the people in her class got along with her or not.
However, since she would be living under the same roof with her roommates for four years, she still wanted to get along well with them.
"It's okay, I'm not a petty person, and I like your personality," Su Yan said.
Bai Meng seemed surprised by her answer and paused for a while before responding.
After that, the four of them stopped chatting and went about their own business after breakfast.
Su Yan opened the notebook that Director Zhong had given her.
The moment she saw the class schedule, she felt her hair turn white! It's over!
There are only four classes in the morning on Wednesdays. All other times, classes are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with lunch and rest from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Then, the classes from 7 pm to 9 pm are all practical training classes. If you can finish the assignments given by the teacher in advance, you can sign in and leave early.
Study Traditional Chinese Medicine on odd-numbered weeks and Western Medicine on even-numbered weeks.
Su Yan took a deep breath and then began to look at the contents of the notebook, inhaling deeply.
She was still studying until noon.
Chen Ting and the other two were hungry and planned to go to the cafeteria to buy food.
"Ayan, stop studying now. Eat your meal first, then come back and study," Chen Ting said.
Su Yan didn't even look up and said, "No need, I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead and eat, thank you."
“You look a little malnourished. You should eat even if you’re not hungry.” Deng Ziyi thought she was worried about falling behind, so she said, “Then we’ll pack some for you. What would you like to eat?”
"Either is fine, you can arrange it."
"Okay, then I'll just buy whatever I want."
Deng Ziyi and his group left the house quickly.
Su Yan shook her aching wrist and turned to the next page, which was also the last page.
There are sixteen pages of key notes in total. She copied down the parts she didn't understand, including eight points that she couldn't learn.
After reading the last page, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Guo Ziming's number.
The other end answered quickly.
"Hey, junior sister, what brings you to call your senior brother today?" Guo Ziming said lazily.
Su Yan quickly said, "Senior brother, I need your help in this emergency!"
Then she asked a whole series of questions.
Guo Ziming after hearing this: "..."
He was a little exasperated. "Why don't you go find the senior brother and have him give you a live lesson? Wouldn't that be better?"
"I've been bothering my senior brother these past few days, so what's wrong with bothering a different senior brother today?" Su Yan retorted confidently. "Besides, my senior brother is busy now. Starting today, the person who will be giving me acupuncture is his assistant. He will only come over when he has time. I'm in my dorm right now!"
Guo Ziming was extremely helpless, so he had no choice but to focus on answering her questions.
Su Yan understood immediately, and she grasped the meaning of all eight questions in less than half an hour.
"How did you learn Western medicine so quickly? Are you trying to kill us all?!"
The "Third Senior Brother" on the other end of the phone was completely convinced!
Effort is simply no match for talent!
Su Yan calmly replied, "Didn't you say these are all basics? If I had the books, I probably wouldn't need to ask you so many questions."
