Chapter 140: The Man of the Year



Chapter 140: The Man of the Year

Yan Jingshu held the teacup in his left hand and a banana in his right hand, and grinned.

Tang Xueli sighed softly and sat next to him, "Stop laughing, drink some water quickly and eat all this."

Yan Jingshu obediently drank half a cup of hot water and ate the banana.

The water temperature is just right, warm but not too hot, and my whole stomach feels much more comfortable after drinking it.

Bananas are sweet and delicious.

As for how effective it is in sobering up, it is still unclear.

Yan Jingshu saw that Tang Xueli still had a banana and a bright red apple in her hand, so he asked, "Are these for me to eat too?"

"Eat this first." Tang Xueli took the food out of her trouser pocket.

Yan Jingshu looked over curiously. Although it was wrapped in a handkerchief, he guessed what it was in an instant.

It felt warm when I took it in my hand. I opened the handkerchief and found a familiar paper package with two plump white buns inside.

Tang Xueli said: "It's stuffed with chives and eggs."

"The ones with leeks are delicious." Yan Jingshu pinched the hot buns in his hand and tilted his head to look at Tang Xueli, "Did you buy leeks because they can also help sober you up?"

Tang Xueli said in a bland tone, "The stall only sells leeks and eggs now."

Yan Jingshu: “Oh…”

I didn’t guess right this time.

Fortunately, he also likes to eat leeks, but he usually eats less because he is afraid of leaving a bad taste in his mouth, which is impolite.

He ate the buns slowly. After finishing one, he heard Tang Xueli say beside him: "Leeks can promote metabolism, accelerate alcohol digestion and liver detoxification. Eggs are high in protein and can promote the recovery of liver cells."

In short, leek eggs are good for sobering up.

Yan Jingshu chewed the bun, curled up the corners of his mouth and stared at his toes with a silly smile for a while.

It turns out he was right.

"Didn't you have lunch?" Tang Xueli asked him.

Yan Jingshu nodded and said, "I was busy writing a manuscript and didn't have time to eat."

Tang Xueli was speechless, "Then why do you drink so much wine?"

Yan Jingshu finished eating the bun, looked at the fruit in her hand again, and changed the subject: "I want to eat an apple. This apple looks delicious."

Tang Xueli raised her hand and threw the apple lightly. The apple drew an arc and fell into Yan Jingshu's hand.

Yan Jingshu took a bite and found it juicy and sweet and sour.

Seeing that his complexion had improved a lot and was not so pale anymore, Tang Xueli asked seriously, "Can the society expel people?"

Yan Jingshu glanced towards the tree roots and saw You Xiaofei still sleeping.

He understood what Tang Xueli meant. If You Xiaofei continued to participate in the club's activities, it would not be convenient for Song Yanran to come again.

Song Yanran loves stage performances and is very good at it. Everyone can see that she was born for the stage, and Tang Xueli can't help but see it.

But You Xiaofei's disturbance was a trouble and hidden danger for Song Yanran, and for Tang Xueli, it was an obstacle that needed to be removed.

Yan Jingshu had a certain understanding of Tang Xueli's working style, but——

"This is not an easy matter."

You Xiaofei's family is well-off, and he joined the club right from its inception. The club's activities were held in different venues several times, which were either provided by him or rented with his own money.

This small auditorium is currently borrowed by You Xiaofei through his connections.

Although he doesn't talk much, all members of the club consider him to be a veteran and an indispensable member of the club.

Tang Xueli said: "If it's difficult for you to do it, then I will do it."

Yan Jingshu asked, "What are you going to do?"

"The apple is almost oxidized, eat it quickly." Tang Xueli hasn't decided what to do yet.

Yan Jingshu quickly finished his apple, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

His biggest feeling about life recently is that once people become selfish, many principles will be broken.

There isn't that much logic to speak of.

"Can you eat more?" Tang Xueli shook the banana in her hand like she was teasing a dog.

Yan Jingshu's mind was not on eating, and he couldn't feel whether he was hungry or full, but unknowingly, his stomach didn't hurt as much as before, but he just felt stuffy and uncomfortable, probably because of the alcohol.

"Eat." He never refused the food handed to him by Tang Xueli.

Yan Jingshu peeled the banana and ate it slowly.

"This club is great." Tang Xueli said, "I like it very much. Thank you for inviting me and Yanran."

"What are you thanking me for? You don't have to be polite to me..." After all, he also had a purpose.

"You heard what Lu Bingbing and I said, right?"

Tang Xueli suddenly started a new topic. Yan Jingshu said "ah" and nodded.

"In addition to answering her questions, I'm also speaking for you."

Tang Xueli was actually not sure about Yan Jingshu's true thoughts, but letting the other party know what she was thinking first was also a good way to avoid or solve problems.

After Yan Jingshu finished eating the last banana, he felt his stomach start to ache again.

After Tang Xueli fed the guests the food they were supposed to deliver and said what she was supposed to say, she did not stay long and got up to return to the small auditorium.

The event was almost over, and Tang Xueli asked Lu Bingbing: "Will you come again in the future?"

Lu Bingbing said, "I'll come if you come."

"If Song Yanran comes, I will come. If You Xiaofei comes, Song Yanran can't come. If You Xiaofei doesn't come, Song Yanran can come."

Tang Xueli's tongue twister almost confused Lu Bingbing.

But after thinking for a while, she immediately understood.

Lu Bingbing nodded, "I understand."

This is asking her to find a way to get rid of You Xiaofei!

"Okay, I'll figure it out."

Tang Xueli asked her: "What do you need me to do?"

"No need." Lu Bingbing said in a relaxed tone: "You and Song Yanran can come and play when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you." Tang Xueli felt a little embarrassed. She had only met Lu Bingbing twice, and the other party had helped her twice.

Be sure to prepare a thank-you gift next time we meet.

**

School starts in September and new students report, and everything goes well.

Tang Xueli is the top scorer in the imperial examination and her achievements are eye-catching, so she is bound to become one of the hotly discussed figures.

She is tall and pretty, with a cool temperament. Even if people don't know that she is the top scorer, she will still be the focus.

Many people greeted her and introduced themselves to her. Tang Xueli listened and smiled politely, but she almost forgot what she said when she turned her head.

She has a good memory, but she is a little face-blind. Faced with so many youthful faces at once, she really can't remember who is who.

"Tang Xueli." Someone called her from behind.

Tang Xueli sighed in her heart, but still stopped and turned around.

When she looked up, she smiled. It was someone she knew. "Hua Fang."

"You remember my name." Hua Fang scratched his head shyly, "I thought you would call me Sun Dasheng!"

On the day of the club activity, he played the role of the naughty monkey who made trouble in heaven. Tang Xueli must have recognized him, but he didn't expect that Tang Xueli would call out his real name all of a sudden.

"You are a well-known figure in the school, and everyone is discussing your achievements." Tang Xueli said, "Now the freshmen should all know the sophomore Hua Fang."

That was too exaggerated. Hua Fang waved his hands and said with a smile, "What great deeds have I done?"

He doesn't even know it himself.

Tang Xueli summarized the stories she had heard: "He ranked first in every subject in the school. He could memorize all the textbooks word for word. He was also familiar with various Chinese medicine classics. He often left the professor speechless in debates. He ranked first in the long-distance race at the sports meet, leading the second place by a full lap. He also wrote elegant calligraphy and played the guqin with lingering sounds..."

"That's enough." Hua Fang stopped talking quickly, "Writing and playing the piano are just for fun."

The words "elegant and graceful" and "lingering sound" are all compliments.

Those are actually his way of relieving stress.

"My grandfather is an old Chinese doctor. I have been exposed to medical books since I was a child. I was exposed to this knowledge earlier than most people, so it is normal for memorizing more. But memorizing more and getting high test scores do not mean anything. These are all false."

Hua Fang said seriously: "The purpose of learning is to apply what you have learned. After learning, if you can cure diseases and save lives and research good medicines, then you are a talent and you are really amazing."

Tang Xueli had an expression of being educated, but what she was thinking in her heart was that you would be the truly great talent that you mentioned in the future, curing diseases and saving lives and developing good medicines.

Hua Fang told her to go to him if she had any problems or questions, "Just go downstairs of Dormitory No. 7 and ask the dormitory manager to call her."

Tang Xueli asked him: "Will you still go to club activities in the future?"

Hua Fang said, "I will go if I have time."

But it’s hard to say whether there will be time by then.

At this time, someone called Hua Fang to go for dinner. Tang Xueli said goodbye to him. Next, she planned to go to the dormitory to check and put some things away.

When I looked up for the sign, I saw Yan Jingshu walking towards me.

Yan Jingshu brought her a piece of news, "Feng Biao came back early."
