The boy was surprised and then smiled. "You are late." Or Murong Xue would have known where the class was.

Murong Xue shrugged. He was right!

The boy was about to say something, but it suddenly fell quiet. The opening ceremony had already begun. The boy pointed to the stage apologetically and then made a hush sign. Murong Xue nodded.

The cliche opening speech made Murong Xue drowsy. She didn't sleep a wink last night, as it was already midnight after she treated the cuts and wounds of Huangfu Yi. She got up early this morning. Someone was at her place and she couldn’t persuade herself to rest in the Space. It cost her life in her previous life to learn a lesson. It was to stay vigilant whenever and wherever she was.

On the stage, a teacher was still blabbering on, and Professor Bai took the stage in the middle. "I’ll keep it short. In this semester, there is one freshman who is truly outstanding."

Hearing it, Murong Xue twitched her eyebrows, and a flash of bad feeling came over her.

"Let’s invite Murong Xue to the podium!"

She was right! OMG! What did the old man want? She really wanted to get out of this place.

Until it was broadcast for the third time, Murong Xue reluctantly went up to the stage, and the boy gazed at her in surprise. On the stage, Professor Bai smiled from ear to ear, and at least Murong Xue thought so.

She made a brief introduction on the stage. "Hello, everyone, I am Murong Xue. I am very happy to have the chance to study at the University of Medicine."

Murong Xue was pretty, and many people remembered her after the previous media reports. Her appearance made a stir in the audience, especially when Professor Bai said that Murong Xue would be coached by him as his only disciple.

What Professor Bai said also provoked discontent among some people. Usually, Professor Bai didn’t teach classes, and he only did research in medicine. Because he had a good reputation both at home and abroad, many hospitals invited him to work there. Sometimes when there were intractable cases in hospitals in the capital, Professor Bai would be asked to carry out the treatment. It could be said that Professor Bai's expertise in medicine was both the pillar and model of the whole medical industry. Many students who thought that they were talented volunteered to be his disciples, but they were rejected. Now he was willing to take a newbie in the industry as his only disciple. How could they not be jealous?

Murong Xue gave Professor Bai a cheeky eye roll. He was a bit surprised. She was not happy to be in the spotlight? He finally had a disciple he was satisfied with, and of course, he wanted to tell everyone in case she was bullied.

But her strange expressions showed that he had done something wrong. Why? Shouldn't she be happy to get people's attention? Countless people wanted to be his disciples!

Murong Xue thought in her heart, "I wanted my quiet college life back!"

Murong Xue simply said a few words and fell silent. A teacher on the stage took the microphone and praised Murong Xue a lot. In his words, she was a real genius.

After she left the stage, she could clearly feel the strange looks in every direction, which made her speechless.

It wasn't that she was embarrassed. As the daughter of the Murong Family, she got used to people's attention when she was studying in A province. She just felt a little lonely and wanted to be friends with more people like Mo Aili. In her previous life, she didn't get to enjoy good friendships and now she would do anything to cherish them.

After the opening ceremony, Murong Xue was about to find Professor Bai but got a pat on the shoulder by someone behind her. "Xue!"

Murong Xue looked back, only to find that it was Liu Huali. She smiled and greeted him, "Huali."

"No wonder you look so familiar. It turns out you're the genius of A province! I was surprised when I saw you up there." Liu Huali said with a smile, and it was true. Most importantly, he didn't expect her to become the disciple of Professor Bai. But he totally understood why after he remembered they shared ideas about medical skills the other day.

His good friends beside him poked at his waist and teased him in a low voice, "Your girlfriend is so smart."

He coughed and hurried to explain, "We are not a couple, and you're mistaken."

They gave him some cheesy winks and said they would keep it secret or something. Liu Huali could only shrug, but his heart was racing, which was a bit strange.

"Huali, you're making fun of me!" Murong Xue was a bit annoyed.

"I didn't mean that, and I was just a little surprised. By the way, where are you going now?" Liu Huali titled his head to the side.

"I'm looking for Professor Bai." She was literally clenching her teeth.

"Well, let's have dinner together next time." He looked disappointed as he intended to ask her out for dinner and then discuss medical skills.

"Yep, rain check. You've got a phone, right? Contact me at any time!" Murong Xue waved the mobile phone in her hand.

Liu Huali smiled and waved his hand. He was surrounded by a bunch of boys who were pulling his leg. Murong Xue didn't walk far and heard it.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Boys in their prime!"

Murong Xue looked straight in the eyes at the smiling Professor Bai and asked, "Professor Bai, why did you introduce me to everyone at the opening ceremony?" She got to know him a lot after several exchanges with him about medical skills. He was a cheerful old man and he was not so much a teacher as he was a friend, so they got along really well.

"Well, I thought you'd be happy. Besides, you should feel lucky to be my student." Professor Bai looked smug.

She really wanted to give him a kick! But that would be against morality.

"Well, it's no big deal. Do you have to make a fuss? Come here. This case is a little strange."

"Strange?" When it came to medical cases, Murong Xue could drop whatever she was doing. She came close to take a look. There was some resemblance between the two.

Originally she intended to have a word with him and make her principles clear, but she ended up discussing medical skills. It was not until she walked out of the door that she remembered what she was here for, but it was too much trouble to go back. Besides, it was no big deal. It was just that she would be the target of gossip at school from time to time.

Moreover, she did learn a lot. Professor Bai's consummate medical skills made up for her lack of good modern medical skills. One nicer part was that she didn't have to attend classes on time like other students because as a disciple of Professor Bai, she could just be coached by Professor Bai. Of course, if she was interested, she could still take classes, but no one thought that it was necessary, including Professor Bai.

After many exchanges with Murong Xue, Professor Bai was sure that with her expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she could be an excellent doctor. However, what he felt rather strange was that she was only proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine and knew nothing about Western Medicine. Even if most people preferred Traditional Chinese Medicine, they would have a grounding in Western Medicine. However, Murong Xue was a complete Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and he thought she could pursue further study. The combination of Chinese Traditional Medicine and Western Medicine may bring out her full potential.

Murong Xue checked the time, and it was already 1 p.m. It was terrible! She remembered Huangfu Yi was still at her home. How was he? Murong Xue hurried back to her villa.

She saw Huangfu Yi squatting in front of the villa in the distance. He looked anxious and kept looking in the direction of her departure.

Murong Xue didn't know how to put her feelings into words. For the first time, she felt she was so needed and someone was worried about her at home. Tears welling up in her eyes, she quickened her pace and ran to the man who was like a child.

Huangfu Yi saw her and dashed to her, but he had to make it through the gate, as he was waiting on the steps at the door inside the villa. He kept in mind that Murong Xue asked him not to go out, so he waited at the door.

Murong Xue opened the door of the villa with a press on the remote control and went in. "Yi, why don't you stay inside?" His face was red from the blazing sun.

Huangfu Yi fumbled with his sleeves, making him look funny as he was quite tall. But Murong Xue didn't laugh and felt slightly distressed.

"I ... I want to see you earlier." He lowered his head, afraid that Murong Xue might chew him out.

She intended to tell him not to do it anymore, but on second thought, he was only 5 years old now, and she was the first person he met. Just like a newborn cub, he might feel attached to the first person he saw.

Murong Xue glanced at the scorching sun, reached out to him, and took his hand. "Let's go inside." She wanted to cure him as soon as possible. Though they were almost strangers, his present situation made her heart ache. Perhaps she was bewitched by his words, and she actually took him as her brother.
