Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Unconditional Belief in You
"Ask me? Ask me what? What's wrong with me?"
Lu Xin was also confused. "Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
The man did not evade the question. He stood up from his seat and questioned him righteously, "How did you get the first place in the district and the seventh place in the city? Do you dare to tell me?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the classroom were focused on Lu Xin.
These gazes were like sharp knives, piercing Lu Xin's vital points accurately and leaving him speechless.
Everyone who has taken classes at Xinglin Medical Auxiliary School has heard of his reputation as a genius.
How did I get my ranking? Just like everyone else, I took the exam.
Lu Xin is a genius himself, and his family has been practicing medicine for generations. With the careful cultivation of Lu Jianghai, the medical master, I'm afraid that his seventh place in the city would be considered an abnormal performance.
But even with such a simple answer, Lu Xin couldn't bring himself to say it. He just stared at him angrily but dared not say a word.
"Tell me? Do you dare to tell me the inside story?" the man continued to ask relentlessly.
What? A conspiracy?!
Eyes darted back and forth between them, and the people around them couldn't wait to take a bite of this juicy and exciting melon.
Not only him, the man sitting near the door also stood up, "Lu Xin, don't assume that no one knows just because there is no evidence. Did you write the test paper yourself?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lu Xin said this with full confidence.
The man just now said again: "Can you explain how you got 96 points in the theory test when you left half of the paper blank?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the class fell silent.
He... left half of the paper blank?
The examination room and test numbers are allocated according to the examination area. In addition to the individual candidates who register individually, there are three tutoring classes in Tonghua District to help students register together, so the personnel allocation in almost every examination room is similar.
Six or seven are from Xinglin Medical Auxiliary School, six or seven are from xx institution, six or seven are from xxx institution, and the rest are candidates who registered individually.
Coincidentally, Lu Xin and Shen Miao were assigned to the same examination room, one was No. 11 and the other was No. 14. They sat in the same row with only two people between them.
There were only two of them in Class 1 assigned to Examination Room 3, but five people from Class 2 and Class 3 were also assigned to this examination room.
They were usually busy reviewing in the tutoring classes. Although they had heard of Lu Xin's reputation as a genius, they had never seen him in person. Their most profound impression of him was that he was "impatient."
Whenever the get out of class is over or school is over, he is always the first one in the class to come out. While others are so busy reviewing that they have no time to eat, he always fills his bag with snacks and drinks in different ways, just like those poor students in decent schools who have no focus on studying.
Later I heard from people in the class that not only did he not review after class, he also never listened to the teacher in class.
So when they were taking the exam, they couldn't help but pay more attention to this genius.
The leading man sat closest to him, just diagonally behind him. As long as he raised his head he could see his back and half a paper hanging over the edge of the table.
Now that he was talking about this matter, he was not afraid to tell everyone the truth.
That's right, he originally wanted to look at Lu Xin's paper and copy a few answers, but when half of the exam time had passed and he found a chance to see the words on the paper, he was unable to copy any answers.
It was blank. The entire second page of the first sheet, which contained multiple-choice and true-or-false questions, had almost half of it left blank by Lu Xin.
Each question is worth one point. Just leaving so many blanks is enough to make it impossible to get 90 points, let alone a high score of 96?
People just can't stand seeing others living better than themselves.
To be honest, how many points Lu Xin got had nothing to do with them, but they just couldn't stand his vested interest face. It would have been fine if they had kept it to themselves, but they came here excitedly just to listen to the congratulations from their acquaintances.
What? Do you feel good when these runners-up look at you with envy and admiration? !
"Huh? Why don't you tell me? How did you get 96 points? Do you dare to tell me?"
They were right. Lu Xin didn't dare to say it because what they saw in the examination room was true.
Indeed, more than half of the paper he handed in was blank.
"I don't know what you have to pretend to be."
"That's right. If your grandfather hadn't used some tricks to change the score, how could you have gotten 96? And there's also a full score for the tutor's question and answer session. Ask yourself if you deserve this 100 points!"
"Damn it, I hate people who pretend to be cool the most in my life. They really think that just because they have a capable master, they can be great too, haha..."
Lu Xin's clenched fists almost lost their color. Listening to those questioning voices, he really wanted to rush over and punch each of these old men and hammer a hole in their bald heads!
But he was not in the right, and had no right to use his fists to smash their malicious speculations, so he could only endure it in silence.
Just when he wanted to shamelessly tell them that he had this ability, Shen Miao, who had been silent beside him just now, stood up and protected him behind him.
Shen Miao: “I understand. What you mean is that Lu Xin handed in an unfinished paper in the exam, and the vice-president used some connections and means to change the final score to 96 points, right?”
"right!"
After the man agreed, he added, "Although I don't know what he is like normally, but in the exam room, I'm sure he left a lot of blanks. There must be something fishy going on to get such a high score! But I don't know yet..."
“So what you mean is that the vice-president has the power to change people’s scores at will in such an important exam?” Shen Miao interrupted him and sneered, “If that’s the case, why doesn’t he just open a ‘guaranteed pass class’, charge him tens of thousands per person, and then use his connections to help everyone get the certificate?”
"He can make money, promote the reputation of Xinglin Medical Assistant, and help more people get their qualifications. It's a good thing that kills three birds with one stone. Tell me, why wouldn't he do it?"
Marking the papers based on their appearance? Do you really think that all the examiners are blind?
It is possible that the tutor had connections during the Q&A session. After all, the grades were given by the reviewers themselves, and the reviewers were from the province's top three hospitals. There was no guarantee that Lu Jianghai would not know them.
But Shen Miao didn’t believe in the matter of changing the score.
As soon as Shen Miao said this, the wind direction suddenly changed. The people present, who were still convinced that there was some shady plot, instantly began to waver again...
After a pause, Shen Miao continued, “Also, you said you saw his paper. Let’s not talk about whether it counts as plagiarism. Was your attention really on his paper from beginning to end? Did he go back and fill in the missing parts later? Did you see that?”
"I, he..."
Shen Miao's consecutive questions stumped him.
Seeing that he couldn’t explain, Shen Miao snorted contemptuously: “I know what you think in your heart, it’s nothing more than that you think he hasn’t studied for long, has a good family background, and is smart, so you can’t bear to see him live so smoothly. But even if it’s like this, you can’t throw dirty water on him, right?”
"Everyone here can be considered his uncle or grandfather. There's no need to be jealous of a child who has just reached adulthood."
"Jealous? Who is jealous of him?" the man retorted unconvincedly, "If he is capable, then we can just find someone else to set the questions and compete with him face to face. If he can really answer every question correctly, then I will be convinced!"
“That’s right!”
"Let's have a competition. Find some new questions and ask him to do them again."
Everyone present was there to watch the fun and enjoy the excitement. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, they were there to add fuel to the fire. Not to mention making up the test papers for a new contest, they were actually hoping that the two would actually come to blows.
“Does it make sense?” Shen Miao smiled.
Man: "Didn't you say he was a genius?"
Shen Miao: “Whether he is right or not, why should I prove it to you? Are you a policeman? Or a teacher marking the papers?”
Man: "If he doesn't dare to compete, then it proves that he is not, and the score is fake."
Shen Miao: “You are really interesting. You said his score was fake, but where is the evidence? You said someone stole something, but you didn’t provide evidence, and instead asked others to prove that they didn’t steal anything. Don’t you think it’s funny?”
Shen Miao and the man exchanged sharp words, but it was obvious that Shen Miao was the better one.
She is not afraid of anything, whether it is talking reasonably or being tough. Even if her opponent is an eagle who is more than ten years older than her and has been in the society for several years, she can firmly protect the weak and helpless chick behind her.
There was no point in continuing to argue like this, it was just a waste of time. Shen Miao was already in a bad mood, and she didn't want to waste too much emotion on this "jealous person", so she simply said something and pulled Lu Xin out.
"... I still say the same thing. If you think there's something wrong with Lu Xin's score, go to the police and report it. It's best to also report it on TV. I just hope that when they ask you for some evidence, you can really come up with something."
Dragging Lu Xin to the stairs, Shen Miao poked him with a look of dismay, "Don't you have a mouth? Others have wronged you just now, why don't you curse back!"
"I……"
Lu Xin pursed his lips and lowered his head in shame.
He also wanted to refute, wanted to shamelessly say that the score was what he deserved, but his mind would always remember Shen Miao's words "I hate liars", so he couldn't lie in front of her with a clear conscience.
“Forget it, forget it, stop scolding.” Shen Miao adjusted her hair and said irritably, “You are not good at talking. If he makes you angry and you can’t argue with him, you might even fight him.”
Seeing Shen Miao defending him and speaking for him, Lu Xin felt even more ashamed.
"Sister, do you really believe me? Do you believe that there is no shady deal with my scores?" Lu Xin asked hesitantly.
"Of course."
Shen Miao said without hesitation: “You are not the kind of person who would cheat. Your grandfather may ask the instructor to give you a looser score for the instructor’s questions and answers and practice, but for the theoretical knowledge score, I believe you have earned it based on your own ability.”
Since they chose to be friends, Shen Miao would trust each other unconditionally. Isn’t it the case that friends should trust each other?
There were times when Shen Miao had vaguely felt that something was not quite right with Lu Xin, but in the end she still chose to believe him.
Sincerity for sincerity, she has already shown her sincerity, and I think Lu Xin will do the same to her.
After waiting at the corner of the stairs for more than ten minutes, until several teachers from the teaching group arrived, Shen Miao followed them in.
Seeing Shen Miao come to register again, several teachers were a little surprised and took the initiative to ask her what was going on.
After all, she was the only student in this period who might pass the exam besides Lu Xin, so when they heard that she failed because she filled in the wrong test number, they all expressed regret.
Only Qin Xiaokun frowned slightly when he saw her, and there was no other emotion on his face.
It was as if he had guessed long ago that Shen Miao might fail the exam, and when he saw her again, it just happened to confirm his guess.
When they arrived at the classroom, several teachers briefly helped them analyze their weaknesses this time, and then asked them to start filling out registration forms and prepare for the new class starting in a few days.
"You will definitely pass next time."
While watching Shen Miao filling out the application form, Qin Xiaokun who was standing beside her said indifferently.
Shen Miao thought he would say something comforting, such as "What a pity", "If only you were more careful", "Good things are never too late"... Fortunately, he didn't say it. Shen Miao had heard enough comfort today and didn't want to hear any more.
It would be nice to talk to her in such a calm tone, which was in line with her impression of Qin Xiaokun.
“Well, I also think I will pass,” Shen Miao lowered her head and continued to write her message, “I still have to thank you for giving me a red card at the time. Although I didn’t pass the exam, I didn’t waste any money. On the contrary, I can save a few thousand yuan.”
Shen Miao is very optimistic and open-minded.
The dark clouds will not always hang over her head. For her, all it takes is a gust of wind to blow away the gloomy atmosphere.
"You're welcome. I should be the one to say sorry."
Shen Miao: "Sorry? Why?"
Qin Xiaokun said nothing more. He picked up the bottle and took a sip of the still warm water inside. He said, "If students don't do well in the exam, all teachers are responsible."
Shen Miao was even more confused by this sentence.
Filling in the wrong test number is your own problem. What does it have to do with the teacher?

Previously, Shen Wanshan wanted to wait for Shen Miao to obtain a medical license, and then rent a storefront to open a medical clinic.
However, this does not mean that we have to temporarily put down the Shen family's signboard during this period of time.
Shen Wanshan arranged his room into a small consultation room. Although the area of 60 to 70 square meters is not as big as the old house, it is small but complete with all the necessary items and commonly used medicinal materials.
It’s just a bit troublesome to boil the medicine, because the smell of Chinese medicine is quite strong, and I’m afraid it will affect other residents in the building, so I usually boil the medicine on the rooftop before bringing it down. Fortunately, the landlord and residents are very considerate and have never said anything.
Treating patients in the urban village is different from the situation in Qinghe Village. It is not good to be too ostentatious without a medical license. Therefore, Shen Wanshan only treats acquaintances in the village to avoid any unpleasant situations.
There were still a few days before the new tutoring class started, and Shen Miao returned to her old job, treating patients in place of Shen Wanshan. Lu Xin also went to the Shen family every day, running around Shen Miao like a little medicine boy.
Shen Miao discovered that the people who came to visit her recently were not suffering from any illness, and eight out of ten people came to get some health-preserving prescriptions.
Perhaps it is because life has become easier after receiving the demolition compensation. After having some free time, the villagers pay more attention to health preservation.
After decades of farm work, villagers have more or less suffered from some old illnesses. Diet therapy combined with prescriptions can help everyone recover.
"The color of this medicine seems to be a little darker than the last time?"
When Lu Xin was packing up the Chinese medicine, Aunt Zhou pointed at the small white tablets inside and asked, "Did it stay there for too long?"
Shen Miao came over and only took a glance, and immediately found something wrong, and quickly picked out all the darker "little white pieces" inside.
“This is Baifu Pian. My prescription says Baifuzi.” Shen Miao patted the back of Lu Xin’s hand lightly, pointing to the word “zi” to emphasize.
Baifu Pian and Baifu Zi sound similar, but they are two completely different medicines.
Baifu Pian is the lateral root of Aconitum, while Baifuzi is the tuber of the Araceae plant, Unicornia hornbe. After processing, their shapes are very similar, but their colors are different, and their uses are also very different.
"Oh, sorry, I caught the wrong one."
Lu Xin scratched his head and hurriedly picked out the white aconite slices from each packet of medicine with tweezers, and then weighed the same amount of white aconite on a small scale and added them in.
This was the third time that Lu Xin accidentally got the wrong medicine.
Fortunately, Shen Miao or Shen Wanshan would check the medicine every time after taking it, so it did not affect the efficacy of the medicine.
But it can't be entirely blamed on him, the medicine shelf at home has been used for decades, and the labels on the boxes are blurred. Shen Miao and Shen Wanshan can accurately find the location of different medicinal materials without looking at the labels, but Lu Xin can't do that. He has to study for a long time before he can find it every time.
After Shen Miao sent Aunt Zhou away, Shen Wanshan, who was making moxa sticks, said to him in a gentle voice: “Don’t be nervous, and don’t apologize. Sometimes it’s normal to touch the wrong medicine. Just change it back in time.”
“Yeah, I always got the wrong medicine before, just check it a few more times before packing it.” After coming back, Shen Miao also followed to comfort Lu Xin.
Oddly enough, Lu Xin is usually quite cheerful, like a sunny puppy without a leash. He does everything casually and looks fearless.
But as soon as he came to help and stood in front of the medicine shelf, he was like a puppy that was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and then lifted up from the ground.
Nervous, awkward, and afraid, he would quickly apologize if he did something wrong, for fear of making Shen Miao and Shen Wanshan angry.
Picking at the pieces of white aconite he had just picked out, Lu Xin said unconfidently, "I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I make a mistake."
"No, grandpa and I will keep an eye on you and won't let you get into trouble."
Pulling Lu Xin to sit next to the chair, Shen Miao helped him relieve the pressure on his shoulders, "Curing illnesses and saving lives is a very serious matter, but it doesn't mean that you can cure people by staying tense all the time. Relax, practice more, and get used to it."
Looking up and glancing at Shen Miao who was rubbing Lu Xin's shoulders, Shen Wanshan couldn't help but frowned.
It’s not that I think their behavior is particularly intimate, I just feel a little disappointed.
I am disappointed with Luxin.
I often hear Shen Miao say that he is a genius and can remember the knowledge in books without much study, but after he came to help in the past few days, Shen Wanshan did not find any outstanding qualities in him.
Genius? Well, he didn't think so anyway.
After all, "ordinary people" like her granddaughter have never made the mistake of taking the wrong medicine, and she can tell the difference even if several medicines of similar shapes are mixed together.
However, Shen Wanshan did not say it explicitly. After all, he was still young, and young people should always be encouraged. What's more, he was not their own child, so it would not be good to say too much.
Shen Wanshan: “Well, you have enough knowledge now but lack experience. After accumulating more experience for a few years, you will definitely be a good doctor.”
Luxin rarely hears such words of encouragement.
Ever since he started studying medicine, he often heard Lu Jianghai's criticism.
Just look at xx, you will get it after reading the book a few times.
Can’t you learn xx? How do others learn it?
By the way, what is there to be proud of? Compare yourself more with xxx and be more humble, so that you can make progress next time.
…
Perhaps it was because he had heard too many words like this, so even if he was helping out at the Shen family, the string in his head would be very tight, not only because he was afraid that he would make a mistake, but also because he was afraid that Shen Miao and Shen Wanshan would blame him like his grandfather did.
But they didn't.
“By the way, will your celebration banquet still be held at the Pearl Hotel this time?” Shen Wanshan asked casually after putting away the prepared moxa sticks.
Luxin: “Are you going?”
Shen Miao smiled and nodded, “Yes.”
"What? Not welcome?"
Luxin smiled happily and said, "Welcome, welcome! Of course you're welcome!"
Everyone can guess what will happen at the celebration banquet. It is nothing more than another show by Lu Jianghai. He hopes that the Shen family can go even more than Lu Xin does, so that he can praise his grandson while stepping on Shen Miao.
Logically speaking, Shen Wanshan had no intention of going to such a dinner, plus what happened last time… But who made Lu Xin and Shen Miao almost together?
Lu Xin came to the house every day to help these days, and coaxed Shen Miao's mood to improve a lot. Shen Wanshan felt that the layer of paper between them was getting thinner and thinner.
Since we are going to be a family soon, it is natural for me to attend his celebration party. As for Lu Jianghai, I can just ignore him.
Lu Xin: "Yes, it's still on the second floor of the Pearl Hotel, tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock."
Shen Wanshan: “Okay.”
*
The next morning, the Shen family packed up early and prepared to go out.
Shen Wanshan even found a piece of red paper and wrapped a big red envelope for Lu Xin to celebrate his good result of getting the first place in the district.
When the family arrived at the Pearl Hotel in an orderly manner, there were no red balloons or red lanterns displayed downstairs like last time, nor were there any banners related to the celebration banquet. It was not as lively as the last time when they celebrated Lu Miao's first birthday.
After entering the door, the waiter came over and greeted them, "Do you have a reservation? Do you want to sit in the lobby? Or do you want a quieter private room?"
“We are here to attend the Lu family’s banquet, on the second floor,” Shen Miao explained.
Waiter: "Lu family? But they sent someone to cancel it this morning."
