Translator’s Note:
Heya, guys! Potato has succeeded in persuading me to post the chapters that I’ve translated for this novel so here I am! Since she thought it’d be a waste for me not to (especially all the effort I’ve placed into this). Anyway, I’ll be dropping this after I’ve posted all the chaps I have on hand, so before that happens, enjoy~!! <3
The weather began to turn cold, just when the lush greenery in Peking University gradually receded. As the autumn wind blew, the ginkgo trees swayed gently in the wind, rustling its golden yellow leaves in bright waves. This landscape painted the entire campus in a mottled oil painting style.
The medical school was situated on the Northeast side of the university. As soon as the school bell rang, the atmosphere in the silent and solemn classroom began to loosen up, as students started to converse in twos and threes. Based on their conversations, the topic inevitably revolved around the upcoming midterm examinations.
Someone raised their voice to ask the professor who was currently sitting next to the podium. “Teacher, what is the range of topics that this midterm exam will test on?”
The teacher, who was holding a thermos flask in his hand, slowly sipped on the hot tea and smiled kindly. “Besides the preface, everything else is important.”
“What?!”
Hearing the teacher’s response, the classroom was immediately filled with wails.
Four students from dorm room 404, who were sitting in the same row, were indeed finding it difficult to restrain their urge to rant.
“We just need to choose our majors wisely. Going through every end of the term seems like we are taking the National College Entrance Exam. But, this is not the end of the term yet!”
Zhen Ling, who was the eldest in the dorm room, sighed in despair. Although he was the oldest amongst the four of them, he had a babyface. He scrunched up his face while flipping through his notebook at random. Turning his head towards Second Bro, who sat next to him, he asked, “Bo’er, which chapter is the internal medicine 4th exam tested up to?”
“Old Liu mentioned before in the previous lesson, but I do not remember.” Second Bro pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and turned towards the person sitting next to him for help. “Hehe[1], do you remember?”
Lin Yuhe, who was also known as the memo book of the dorm, lived up to his expectations. “Chapter 13.”
“Oh, that’s right.” Hearing this, Zhen Ling then strained to regain some scattered memories. “Will the 4th surgical exam be tested up to chapter 13 as well?”
Lin Yuhe shook his head. “15.”
Second Bro drew his brows together. “Why so many? I thought the pathology exam would be the only one that will test up to chapter 15.”
Lin Yuhe chuckled, with a hint of joy amidst others’ sorrow. “Actually, the third anatomy exam will also be tested up to chapter 15.”
Second Bro was rendered stunned. ”??!”
Zhen Ling grabbed his hair, on the verge of breaking down. “Why are there so many?!! I can’t even remember what the exams will be tested on, so what is the point in taking these exams?!”
Second Bro also laid on the table. “As the saying goes——Between physiology and biochemistry, you would fail one for sure. When it comes to pathology and pathophysiology, there would be one in ten chances to survive…… I am done with it. I choose to give up.”
Shaking his head, Lin Yuhe watched both of them amusingly. “Just wait for a moment. Once I have sorted out the ranges of key topics for the 11 exams, I will have them sent to the dorm group chat.”
Both of them immediately withdrew their previous remarks and were so moved that they began to shed tears of gratitude. “Hehe, Brother He! You are my savior!”
As the three of them were chatting, two girls walked over, and one of them was a goddess who had the title of being the beauty of our department. Standing next to the table, she pushed her slightly wavy long hair behind her ears, sending a waft of faint sweet perfume through the air.
The department beauty placed two notebooks that were in her hand on the table and pushed them in front of Lin Yuhe. She pressed her lips together, causing a little dimple to appear at the corner of her mouth. “Yuhe, thanks for your notebooks.”
Lin Yuhe took the notebooks and smiled. “You’re welcome.”
He was the sort who was truly exceedingly beautiful, to the extent where he somewhat pressurized people. With his pale skin tone, it all the more made him stand out in a crowd, as well as appear to be hard to approach.
However, his personality was warm, and his temperament was refined, concealing the aggressiveness that his appearance gave off, making him seem more approachable.
Smiling right at this moment, it made everyone’s heart skip a beat.
The department beauty’s cheeks turned pink. “Your handwriting is beautiful.” The moment these words left her mouth, she left hurriedly, while pulling her good friend along.
Once the two girls were out of sight, Zhen Ling, who had watched the entire interaction on the sidelines, stretched his hand out and poked Lin Yuhe. Not being able to hold back his urge to gossip, he asked, “Well, Hehe, does the department beauty have a thing for you?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuhe, who was currently looking for some paper to write the key topics for the exams, was at a loss. “What? That is not true. She just came to borrow my notebook for pediatrics.”
“With her grades in the top ten rankings, the department beauty still needs to borrow your notebook?”
Zhen Ling did not believe him but only felt that Lin Yuhe could not seem to catch on.
“Borrowing one’s notebook happens to be the most commonly used technique to hit on someone!”
Lin Yuhe had his head lowered as he wrote in elegant and beautiful handwriting. When it came to Zhen Ling’s jokes, he did not even bother raising his head to ask, “How many times have you been hitting on me then?”
“I am different since I am a straight guy.” As his mouth twitched, Zhen Ling made sure to emphasize the words ‘straight guy’.
Due to the homophonic of his name and that tender babyface of his, numerous people would often mistake Zhen Ling’s sexual orientation. In the past, there were a couple of times where he wanted to date someone, but he would always be regarded as a best friend instead, leaving a little psychological shadow in his life. That was why he was quite concerned with this matter, and he would deliberately make an emphasis.
Lin Yuhe chuckled and ignored Zhen Ling as he continued to write.
Right when he finished writing the key topics for the exams, there was some movement at the classroom’s backdoor. So, Lin Yuhe casually glanced backward, and his eyes just happened to be in line with a joyful face.
“Senior! Senior Lin!”
A girl, who looked slightly unfamiliar to Lin Yuzhe, was waving at him excitedly. Although she had deliberately lowered her voice, it was still different to conceal her happiness.
Lin Yuhe was somewhat surprised and even got up to walk to the backdoor. When he returned to his seat, he seemed to be carrying some things in his hand. There was a meticulously folded umbrella, as well as a Starbucks paper bag that was emitting the aroma of coffee.
Second Bro curiously asked, “Who was that?”
Lin Yuhe placed the paper bag on the table. “A junior, who came to return an umbrella.”
To express her gratitude, she even gave him a cup of coffee.
Zhen Ling rested his chin on his and looked at him, then let out a long, meaningful “Oh.”
He continued, “I almost forgot. Borrowing umbrellas might also be a good method to hit on someone.”
“No, it is not. She is just a junior, whom I had come across in the library.” Lin Yuhe was somewhat reluctant, but explained, “Previously, when the library was closed, it was raining. It just so happened that when Huixi came to look for me, he brought an umbrella as well, so I lent her the extra umbrella.”
Zhen Ling beamed. “Understand, you consider it a joy to help others.”
