As soon as Jiang Jingxue entered the classroom, she saw Yue Keqi.
Yue Keqi kept glancing towards the door, as if she was waiting for her.
Upon seeing her come in, he quickly waved to her and pointed to the seat next to him.
Jiang Jingxue pretended not to see it and sat down on the other side.
Seeing that Jiang Jingxue didn't sit down, Yue Keqi brazenly went to find her and sat down next to her.
Seeing Jiang Jingxue pick up her things and get up to change seats again...
Yue Keqi quickly grabbed her arm.
"Sister Jingxue, my...my dad brought me here to deliver something to you!"
In desperation, Yue Keqi even invoked Professor Yue's name.
Even if she doesn't care about her own reputation.
She should at least give her father some face, right?
As expected, Jiang Jingxue was no longer in a hurry to leave.
"Oh? What did Professor Yue ask you to deliver to me?"
Yue Keqi took out a bag of brown sugar from her schoolbag, somewhat embarrassed.
"Here, give this."
Jiang Jingxue looked surprised. Why would Professor Yue ask Yue Keqi to bring her brown sugar?
Yue Keqi probably also felt that it was somewhat unreasonable.
She quickly came up with an excuse.
"Well... I bought too much brown sugar at home, and I was worried it would expire, so I brought it to you."
Yue Keqi's excuse was very lame.
Jiang Jingxue should be able to figure out what's going on just by thinking about it.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to stop herself from laughing out loud.
"Then go and make me a cup."
"Huh?" Yue Keqi was taken aback. "Sister Jingxue, are you on your period?"
Yue Keqi was curious when she suddenly realized that perhaps Sister Jingxue was giving her a way out.
"Okay! I'm going right now!"
Yue Keqi quickly ran to make her some brown sugar water.
A few minutes later, Yue Keqi came over with a steaming cup of brown sugar water.
"Sister Jingxue, here you go!"
Jiang Jingxue took the cup and took a sip.
Yue Keqi asked expectantly, "Sister Jingxue, if you drink my brown sugar water, will you forgive me?"
Jiang Jingxue could no longer keep up the act.
"Okay, okay, I forgive you, alright?"
Yue Keqi immediately beamed with joy.
"That's great! Sister Jingxue, you have no idea how much I've suffered these past few days since you ignored me. I couldn't eat or sleep, it was even more painful than a breakup!"
"I'm forgiving you this time, but I'm warning you... if you ever do something like this again, I'll never speak to you again!"
"No more, no more, never again!"
Jiang Jingxue and Yue Keqi finally reconciled.
Break time between classes.
Yue Keqi was just about to take Jiang Jingxue out for a walk.
A classmate walked over.
"Jiang, the pharmacology professor wants you to come to his office to get your homework."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Jingxue arrived at the pharmacology professor's office.
The pharmacology teacher handed her the assignment.
"Jiang Jingxue, your homework is excellent, the best in our class!"
Jiang Jingxue took the homework: "Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Jingxue was about to leave with her homework when her pharmacology teacher called her back.
"Jiang Jingxue, wait a moment, there's something else I want to tell you."
Jiang Jingxue stopped in her tracks: "What is it, teacher?"
"In a few days, there will be a medical competition in our province. If you win an award, you will be directly recommended to the best hospital for an internship. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Jiang Jingxue, you are the best in pharmacology in our class. I have high hopes for you. Are you interested in participating in the competition?"
Medical competition?
Jiang Jingxue was indeed quite interested.
Firstly, it would allow us to test her true skill level.
Secondly, if she does win an award, it would be an honor that would definitely benefit her future career development.
Jiang Jingxue nodded.
"I'm interested! Teacher, how can I register for the competition?"
The pharmacology teacher sighed softly.
"The higher-ups only gave our night school two spots for the competition. In fact, based on our abilities, one of those spots should definitely go to you."
"It's just that some students gave gifts to the school leaders in advance, and the school leaders have already agreed to give them the spots. Jiang, if you really want to participate, why don't you prepare something too? I'll send it to the school leaders, and that way they can put in a good word for you and give you a spot in the competition."
Jiang Jingxue was somewhat surprised by what the pharmacology teacher said.
The night school principal knew about her relationship with Gu Pingwei, yet he still gave her spot to someone else?
Why doesn't she believe it?
The only possibility she could think of was that the pharmacology professor wanted to take advantage of the situation to make money and gain some benefits for himself.
Jiang Jingxue sighed for a while, then asked, "Teacher, what if we don't give a gift?"
The pharmacology teacher looked regretful.
"If you don't give gifts, you won't get a spot in the competition and won't be able to participate. Jiang, I heard your husband is in the military. As a military spouse, you can't possibly be unable to afford anything, right?"
The entire night school.
Only the principal and a few others knew Gu Pingwei's position.
Others only knew that he was a soldier.
Since no one knew anything about their family's financial situation, Jiang Jingxue simply started pleading poverty.
"Teacher, to be honest, being a military wife is tough! It sounds glamorous, but only I know the hardships I suffer behind the scenes."
“He’s so busy all the time, I only see him a few times a year. I have to take care of all the big and small things at home.”
Jiang Jingxue pretended to be on the verge of tears.
“His monthly salary is so low. He has to support his family, take care of his elderly parents’ medical expenses, and pay my tuition. He’s always struggling to make ends meet, sometimes not even knowing where his next meal will come from. How could I possibly afford to prepare a gift?”
