Chapter 327: You're Actually Quite Kind!

~8 min read 1,515 words

"Haha, you child." Liu Jiumu tapped her.

"Your Big Aunt said long ago that there was no need to worry about your arrangements; as for me, I've gotten used to it too."

"As for things here, don't you worry, Liu Jiumu will arrange everything clearly for you."

An Yinan smiled coquettishly, "Liu Jiumu, you are truly kind."

"Kind? Then come eat a meal at my place when you're on break?"

"That..." An Yinan hadn't finished her sentence.

Liu Jiumu started to laugh.

"I know you're busy; whenever you have time, just come find me directly."

After An Yinan checked the inventory and finished goods again, she finally returned to the dormitory.

Aside from helping the old man with Acupuncture, she had to get busy with the Monthly Exam; if her grades slipped this time, it would be difficult to ask for leave.

However...

As soon as she arrived at the classroom the next day, she was met with Liu Jianguo's resentful face.

"How did you provoke Professor Feng of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?"

An Yinan pointed at herself, "I provoked? Are you sure it wasn't you?"

Liu Jianguo widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Me?"

But looking at that old man's appearance, could it really be me?

That doesn't seem right either!

But the class bell rang, interrupting his thoughts.

Just like that, An Yinan was extremely well-behaved for these three days; she didn't leave the school at all, spending every day moving between the classroom, the library, and the dormitory.

"I'm asking for leave tomorrow." An Yinan was helpless too; the day to perform Acupuncture for that old man had arrived.

No matter how busy she had been these past few days, this matter had never been interrupted.

"Asking for leave again?"

"Student An, we must have an understanding: if your Monthly Exam grades regress, I won't approve any more leave for you in the future."

Liu Jianguo said with a serious expression.

Her grades were good, and her intentions were upright.

But as a teacher, he was also afraid that a student would focus on one thing and lose another, gaining nothing in the end.

"Then I have conditions too," An Yinan said.

"Let's hear them," Liu Jianguo said.

"As long as my grades don't regress, I will have freedom to ask for leave in the future."

She had plans to take a trip to the Southern Front, and taking advantage of this opportunity, it was perfect to bring it up in advance.

Liu Jianguo considered it for a moment, "Fine, but if your grades regress even once, come back to me immediately and attend class properly."

Liu Jianguo's teaching philosophy was very open; he had previously been abroad, and although he had always contributed to the country, his thinking had changed somewhat, making his education of students more open and free.

As long as students didn't go astray and their grades didn't fall behind, he was happy to help them grow.

"A gentleman's word," An Yinan reached out her hand.

Liu Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then slapped it, "Is as good as a team of horses."

The teacher and student reached an agreement; they didn't expect this agreement to be maintained for many years.

"I'm asking for a week off next week; I'll definitely be back before the Monthly Exam."

"An Yinan!" Liu Jianguo shouted through gritted teeth.

An Yinan reached out her hand, "We made an agreement, oh!"

"Where are you going, and what are you doing?" Liu Jianguo asked.

Leave could be free, but personal safety had to be guaranteed.

"Going to the Southern Front to look at processing factories; our shop needs new products and also needs a new factory. I've thought it over and over, and I can only go to the Southern Front."

She didn't hide anything from her Tutor.

"Who is going with you?" Liu Jianguo asked.

"I don't know yet, I'll think about it." An Yinan didn't say anything more.

She prepared to go by herself; for one, the things in her space were easy to use, and for another, stocking up on goods would also be convenient.

Furthermore, she planned to bring back more things.

There were only two more Acupuncture sessions left for the old man, so she could free up her time.

After An Yinan left her Tutor, she went straight to the library.

"Classmate, let me help you carry them." A male student walked over and helped An Yinan move the books on top.

An Yinan frowned first, then said, "No need, I'm very busy."

The male student didn't understand what she meant; he was dazed for a moment before reacting, "It's fine, I have time, I can help you take them back."

He had noticed her during an accidental meeting when school started.

He had manufactured several encounters, but hadn't managed to see her.

Now that he had finally bumped into her today, how could he not get to know her?

An Yinan looked at him; was this child not quite right in the head?

He was slow to react just now, and now he was actually grinning foolishly?

"Are you alright?" An Yinan asked tentatively.

After all, they were in the same school; what if it was some serious illness?

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" The male student shook his head quickly.

Seeing that the other party would not return the books, An Yinan resigned herself to her fate and said, "Sorry for the trouble." 【Although it wasn't necessary!】

She walked in front, and the male student walked behind.

Whenever the male student wanted to speak, he discovered that An Yinan's pace had quickened.

At first he could still keep up, but now he was already jogging, gasping for breath, and unable to speak at all.

Arriving downstairs at the women's dormitory, An Yinan nimbly took the books.

"Thanks."

"You're actually quite a nice person!"

Once the words were out, before the other person could even catch his breath, she had already hugged the large stack of books and gone upstairs.

"You..." Before he could finish his sentence, she had already disappeared.

An Yinan, however, did not take these things to heart; after all, it was normal for classmates to help each other.

"Why did you borrow so many books?" Zhang Jia asked.

An Yinan placed the books on the table, then said, "I need to ask for leave in a few days, so I'm preparing some mental sustenance in advance."

"Sister, I give up." Zhang Jia looked helpless.

"I can't even finish reading this many at school, and you're going to read this many while on leave? Give us academic underachievers some room to survive," Zhang Jia wailed.

An Yinan organized the books and looked back in her spare time, "I signed a military pledge with my Tutor; if I don't finish them, I can forget about getting leave."

Zhang Jia said enviously, "Seriously, I'm so envious of you all."

"We can't even think about asking for leave; even if we're just a little late, we get scolded for a long time by that female devil."

Jiang Yunduo pushed the door open and entered, "Do you think everyone is her?"

"Not everyone in our class is qualified to ask for leave!"

"Only the top student, and only if they guarantee their grades won't slip, is allowed."

Zhang Jia collapsed onto her bed, "Life is short, why make things so difficult for me!"

An Yinan finished organizing the books, "You little drama queen, don't think I don't know your grades!"

"I'm going back to stay at Xiao Yuan today."

Don't let Zhang Jia's teasing fool you; in fact, her grades were very good, and she had even won a scholarship, but this child had quietly gone to the school Leader and withdrawn from the scholarship rankings.

She had heard this gossip by chance once when she went to see her Tutor.

It also made her impression of Zhang Jia even better.

"Are you coming back tomorrow?" Yun Duo asked.

"I am." An Yinan agreed.

She left some books in the dormitory and took the rest to Xiao Yuan, where she put them directly into her space.

These books were all prepared for reading on the road.

The next day, Feng Shu appeared on time.

"Feng Shu!" An Yinan greeted him.

Feng Zhong also smiled, "Comrade Xiao An, we meet again."

The two didn't talk much on the way; An Yinan was used to reading on the road, and Feng Zhong wouldn't disturb her.

After the entrance check, the two walked over.

"How is the old man's health? Has he been resting well these past few days?" An Yinan inquired about the old man's daily routine.

Speaking of this, Feng Zhong was truly grateful to An Yinan; in the past, no one could persuade the gentleman.

This time, he had truly followed the doctor's orders.

He rested when told to rest and took his medicine when told to take it.

Every time, he would even remind him that it was time to pick up Comrade Xiao An.
