Qin Shu felt at ease after getting rid of Xu Wei. Plus, Xu Wei would not come by again anytime soon.

  This was because she knew Xu Wei too well. She had embarrassed Xu Wei today, so Xu Wei definitely held a grudge against her.

  However, Xu Wei had not recognized her. If she did, she would not have been so surprised.

  However, Qin Shu would not take the initiative to tell Xu Wei who she was.

  There was no need to.

  After returning to Bright Garden after work, Qin Shu specially asked the chef to cook a delicious fish for Boss for dinner.

  After Fu Tingyu returned home, he went straight to the study room. Shi Yan followed behind him.

  Qin Shu played with Boss and exercised while she was at it.

  She had spent most of the day in an air-conditioned room and not sweating in summer was a bad thing.

  Ye Luo stood five meters away, watching them as he smoked.

  Boss was an intelligent cat and the more Qin Shu looked at him, the more she liked the cat. This was especially so after he had scared Xu Wei today. It was so funny.

  After working up a sweat, Qin Shu walked to the swing under the ginkgo tree and sat down. She held the rope with one hand and took out her cell phone with the other. After thinking for a while, she called Gu Yan.

  After the call was connected, it took a while before it was picked up.

  “What’s the matter?” Gu Yan’s voice was a little flat.

  “I just wanted to ask you about the poison that is affecting Yu. Have you found any suitable herbs?”


  “Not yet. The medicinal properties of each herb are different. We’ll know after we try them out.”


  “Then, if this poisoning drags on for a long time, will it affect his body or something? The last time in South Asia, he suddenly had a nosebleed due to heatiness. Is it also related to the poison?”


  This was Qin Shu’s wild guess. She knew that Fu Tingyu had been poisoned, so she couldn’t help but start making wild guesses when she saw that he had so many nosebleeds because he was too heaty.

  “It’s possible. Any poisoning that drags on for a long time is bad.” Gu Yan’s answer was ambiguous.

  Although Qin Shu had guessed it, she couldn’t help but start to worry when she heard it from Gu Yan personally. However, she knew nothing about medicinal herbs and medicinal properties. Otherwise, she could help find to look for them.

  “Then tell me, what will happen if it drags on for too long?” Qin Shu sounded a little anxious because she could only be prepared if she knew.

  Gu Yan remained silent because Fu Tingyu had instructed him that he was not allowed to mention the consequences of his poisoning in front of Qin Shu.

  Gu Yan’s silence made Qin Shu even more anxious. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”


  Qin Shu was most afraid of Gu Yan’s silence. As an attending physician, it showed the seriousness of the matter when he remained silent.

  Gu Yan sighed. “You can roughly guess the consequences of the poisoning dragging out for so long. Just like the cancer cells in the human body, they will gradually spread in the body. Without drugs to stop it in time, what will the consequences be like?”


  Qin Shu was stunned. She seemed to understand what Gu Yan meant. In other words, if the poison in Fu Tingyu’s body could not be suppressed and eliminated as soon as possible, it was also possible that……

  She suddenly covered her mouth and did not dare to continue thinking.

  “I’m just making an analogy. Don’t think too much about it. Poison can be neutralized. I’ve been trying out the medicinal properties of some new herbs recently. The results will be out soon.”


  Qin Shu hung up the phone. Although Gu Yan had said that there was a way to neutralize the poison and had told her to relax, she still could not help but worry.

  So much so that Qin Shu appeared to be distracted when they were eating at the dining table. She was in a daze even when Fu Tingyu gave her some food.

  Fu Tingyu frowned. “What are you thinking about?”


  A man’s deep voice rang in her ear, bringing Qin Shu back to her senses. She looked up at the man opposite her and shook her head. “I’m not thinking about anything.”


  But in her heart, she was thinking that she should still go to Gu Yan tomorrow and ask him to tell her what the poison was specifically and what drugs he needed. It would be faster if she searched for the herbs with him.

  Fu Tingyu said, “If you’re not thinking about anything, just eat your meal.”


  “Okay,” Qin Shu replied and lowered her head to continue eating.

  Fu Tingyu stared at her for a long time. When he thought of how the day when she would leave for school was approaching, she felt inexplicably irritated.

  The frustration and uneasiness made his eyes turned deep and dark. He looked like a wild beast staring at its prey.

  After dinner-

  Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu went up to the second floor. One went to the bedroom while the other went to the study.

  Qin Shu walked briskly to the bedroom door and pushed it open.

  Fu Tingyu stopped after a few steps and stood there. He turned around to look at the girl’s figure as she walked towards the bedroom. He frowned because he knew that the girl was going to class.

  University courses?

  Wouldn’t that mean that she would have a lot of free time when she was in university?

  His jealousy levels went down by half with the thought. Another reason for this was because the girl and the professor were not able to see each other’s faces given the mode their classes were conducted in.

  Fu Tingyu looked away and continued to walk towards the study.

  –


  –


  In class-

  The young professor was wearing a light gray t-shirt once again, The location of the class had been more or less the same ever since the holidays. The classes were usually held in the study.

  Qin Shu had started to take notes since the class became more difficult. However, unlike the young professor, she made edits directly in the document because she could quickly write it down as the young professor spoke.

  [ Young professor: There isn’t much time until Uni starts. Where do you plan to stop? ]

  [ Qin Shu: I will keep learning until I complete the university courses. Do you not have time when school starts? ]

  [ Young professor: no, I have a lot of time. ]

  Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted this online teaching job. He had a lot of time.

  [ Qin Shu: Then continue to teach. I’m already used to the way you teach, and can learn very quickly.]

  [ Young professor: If you’ve learned all the university courses, then what are you going to do in university? ]

  It was rare for the young professor to ask more questions.

  [ Qin Shu: I have other important things to do, of course. ]

  Since she had studied all the university courses, it meant that she had a lot of free time in university to do other things.

  [ Young professor: …… ]

  [Kknock, Knock…… ]

  Qin Shu suddenly heard a knock on the door. Then, she saw the young professor stand up to open the door. Although she could only see a bit of the professor, she could tell that the young professor was very tall. He was not any shorter than Fu Tingyu.

  When the door of the study was opened, she saw a person walk in from outside.

  [ ……: Why are you still in class? You don’t need that little bit of money for cigarettes. ]

  She suddenly heard a drunk man’s voice

  [ Young professor: You are a terrible drunk, and yet you still drink so much? ]

  [ ……: It’s a class reunion. You didn’t go, so they made me drink. There’s also a group of girls who kept making me drink. I feel like they want to get me drunk so that they can take advantage of me. ]

  Qin Shu couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. This person was really drunk.

  Qin Shu didn’t know that the young professor had left his speaker on. As such, the two people on the other side of the video conference heard her when she laughed.

  [ ……: What are you laughing at? With my looks, I would have fans lining up around the field several times. I’ll show you my handsome face. I guarantee you won’t be able to laugh when you see my face. ]

  Qin Shu didn’t know that they would hear her when she had just laughed a little. Shee quickly held back her laughter and watched as the man tumbled over to the computer.
