Chapter 116 You Are the Most Important
Lin Yi'an spent the whole afternoon reading in her room. Even at dinner time, she would have remained engrossed in her book if Zhou Mingshi hadn't come in to call her.
Zhou Mingshi sat down next to her, pinched her nose, and laughed, "Are you mesmerized?"
Lin Yi'an looked up from her book, rubbing her sore neck: "What time is it?"
Zhou Mingshi: "It's 6:30, and you've been reading for four hours straight."
He came in twice to remind her to rest before continuing, and to come back to the study after he finished his work. But she didn't listen to him at all.
Lin Yi'an looked out the window: "It's already dark."
Zhou Mingshi pulled her up: "Let's go out for dinner."
The two walked out, and Zhou Jia was there too.
She noticed that her second brother and sister-in-law seemed a little nervous. Since she moved next door, she hadn't eaten there except on holidays or her grandparents' birthdays.
Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi saw her but didn't say anything.
Her grandparents and father are all alive. They're not so strict as to forbid her from coming over, even though she's an unmarried young woman. Of course, the premise is that she has to be well-behaved and not say anything provocative or sarcastic.
Zhou Jia breathed a slight sigh of relief, but felt a little uneasy. In fact, her second brother and sister-in-law were easier to get along with than her own brother and sister-in-law, who shared the same parents. It was just that their relationship was really bad before. If it weren't for her grandparents, she would never have had the nerve to come over for dinner.
After dinner, Lin Yi'an wanted to go back to her room to read, but Zhou Mingshi pulled her out for a walk: "You're a doctor, you should know best how to balance work and rest."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
"So reluctant?" Zhou Mingshi looked down at her. "Don't you want to take a walk with me?"
Lin Yi'an hugged his arm: "If I say I don't want to, what will you say?"
Zhou Mingshi: "No answer."
After saying that, he added, "You don't want to take a walk with me, but you still want me to answer your questions?"
Lin Yi-an said, "I will always seek revenge."
Zhou Mingshi laughed and said, "You've already criticized me, and you won't even let me feel down for a moment? Is Lin Bao'er that domineering?"
Lin Yi'an just smiled and said, "I didn't dislike you, so don't be disappointed."
Under the streetlights, Zhou Mingshi looked at the gentle smile on her face and suddenly said, "I want to do something with you."
Lin Yi'an opened her eyes wide: "This is outside."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled softly: "What is Lin Bao'er thinking?"
Seeing someone pass by, Lin Yi'an pulled him aside and whispered, "What else could it be that you want to do with me?"
Zhou Mingshi: "There are too many, such as eating together, shopping together..."
That's true!
"You wronged me," Lin Yi'an said embarrassedly. "Your tone was ambiguous, that's why I misunderstood."
Seeing the blush on her face, Zhou Mingshi couldn't help but touch her face and whisper, "I still want to date you."
Lin Yi'an looked at him and said, "Aren't we already married? And we're cultivating our relationship every day."
Zhou Mingshi said, "You don't necessarily have to date before marriage; you can date whenever you want."
That works too. There's no law against dating after marriage, Lin Yi'an said.
A gentle smile spread across Zhou Mingshi's eyes: "You agree?"
Lin Yi-an: "Why don't you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingshi took her hand and said, "Luckily, I was the first person you went on a blind date with."
Lin Yi'an: "My parents know you, and my older brother and sister went to the same school as you. They understand you, which is why we all agreed to get to know you. If we don't go on blind dates with you, there shouldn't be anyone else for the time being."
Zhou Mingshi: "Unanimously agreed? You agree too?"
The moment he met her, even without exchanging a single word with her, he knew this girl was right for him.
Lin Yi-an said, "They definitely need my consent. If I don't want to, they won't force me."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Does this count as a two-way selection process?"
Lin Yi'an: "Yes, why wouldn't it?"
Zhou Mingshi was satisfied.
The two talked as they walked slowly, and after about an hour, they started to head back.
Master Qian plans to take on two apprentices. He has already taken on Lin Yi'an, and he wants to take on another one. People in the industry are trying to use their connections to speak to him.
Ordinary doctors or those with poor skills can't even get to him; those who come to speak with him are all exceptionally good doctors.
In the Yuan family, Zheng Yunhui hurriedly returned from outside and saw her daughter sitting there reading a book. She said, "After you graduated, you haven't had a proper job. Those who can stand in front of Professor Qian are all top talents, and the competition is extremely fierce."
Yuan Xin said confidently, "My academic performance in school was excellent, no worse than anyone else's. Although my work has not been smooth in the past few years since graduation, I haven't forgotten the knowledge."
Zheng Yunhui laughed and said, "But it's okay if I can't beat others. I heard some news that the assessment is very simple. As long as you can identify medicinal herbs and find the problematic one in the herbs, you'll be fine."
Yuan Xin asked in surprise, "It's that simple?"
Zheng Yunhui said, "Although it was simple, the Du family's Eucommia ulmoides were all discarded. When Elder Qian told them to prepare the medicine, they assumed Elder Qian's medicine would be fine and directly prepared the medicine according to the prescription..."
She finished speaking calmly, a smile flashing in her eyes: "But now that you know what the assessment will be about, you definitely won't make the same mistake again. However, it might not actually test this, but it will definitely be related to it. It will all test your medical ethics and character. When you go for the assessment, be careful about everything they ask you to do..."
Yuan Xin grabbed her arm: "You just said that Du Zhong also went for the assessment and was eliminated."
Zheng Yunhui said, "He was eliminated, but he also graduated from your school..."
Yuan Xin suddenly laughed. If she had to pick her college classmates, who did she dislike the most? It would definitely be Du Zhong.
Knowing full well that she liked him, he still spoke ill of her behind her back, saying she was inferior to Lin Yi'an, hypocritical, pretentious, vain, opportunistic, and a master of manipulative tactics...
She never expected a guy to be so mean. Even if he didn't like her, there was no need to talk about her like that behind her back.
Even if you like him a lot, hearing these words will make that liking vanish completely.
Wasn't he from a good family? Wasn't his family rich? How come he was eliminated? He deserved it.
Zheng Yunhui frowned: "The only difficulty is that we still need to find someone to introduce us and get a spot in the assessment. Don't worry about that, I'll have your dad think of a way."
Yuan Xin: "Okay."
She thought of Lin Yi'an again. Lin Yi'an always regarded Mr. Qian as her idol. If she could become Mr. Qian's apprentice, she would be very envious.
...
When Zhou Mingshi returned home from get off work that evening, he didn't see Lin Yi'an.
He asked Ye Lingzhi, "Where is your sister Yi'an?"
Ye Lingzhi looked up: "In the pharmacy."
Zhou Mingshi put the flowers he bought on the way into a vase and turned to walk towards the pharmacy.
"Why are you reading here?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Yi'an looked up at him and asked, "You're back?"
Zhou Mingshi then asked, "Why are you reading here?"
Lin Yi-an: "The smell of medicine makes it easier to concentrate on reading."
Zhou Mingshi: "Have you finished reading the books Master gave you?"
Lin Yi'an: "There are two more books. Let's quickly read through them first, and then study them slowly."
Her eyes would light up whenever she talked about medical books or herbs, and she would come alive. Zhou Mingshi couldn't help but ask, "Which is more important: herbs, medical books, traditional Chinese medicine clinic, or Zhou Mingshi?"
Lin Yi'an hesitated: "Can things that are not in the same category be compared together?"
Zhou Mingshi: "...Based on your place in my heart, it seems acceptable."
Lin Yi'an: "......."
Zhou Mingshi: "Is it really that hard to compare?"
Lin Yi'an looked at him, and that expression... If she didn't say he was the most important person, would he get teary-eyed?
She remembered what her father had said after he had pleased her mother and allowed him to drink: that only by saying the right things to your partner would you have a better life.
She blinked and said, "You're the most important."
