Seeing how nervous Yang Tianming was, Gu Mang stroked her nose and said, “There’s no rush. I still have a few books that I’ve yet to finish reading.”


  Yang Tianming relaxed when he realized that she truly did not mind at all. “Sure. Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

  Gu Mang nodded her head. “Is there anything else?”


  “No, that’s all,” replied Yang Tianming. “Are you going back to your dorm?”


  When she nodded, he said, “I drove here. I’ll drop you off at your dorm.”


  The medical informatics lab building was located very far away from the dorms, so it took her twenty-odd minutes to get there on foot. Thus, she answered, “Okay.”
……

  When they arrived in front of the dorm building, Gu Mang unbuckled her seat belt and thanked the professor. Yang Tianming, who seemed to recall something at that moment, hesitantly asked, “How did the exams go, by the way?”


  Although he knew that she was definitely well-versed in medical knowledge, he had no idea how she fared in advanced math and English. His heart was in his mouth as he recalled how she had left the exam venue before thirty minutes had even passed. Word had it that she was highly skilled at acupuncture, traditional chinese medicine, and surgeries, but not at anything else.

  She replied, “Okay.”


  It failed to squash his worries, though. “You have no problem coming in top five, right?”


  “Yeah.” Her answer was short and sweet. “Goodbye then, professor.” With that, she pushed open the door and got out of the car……

  Shen Qianzi and a few other girls who she got along well with were making their way back from the library when one of the girls suddenly said, “Qianzi, isn’t that your dorm mate Gu Mang?”


  Shen Qianzi stopped talking to the person next to her and looked in the direction her friend was pointing just in time to see Gu Mang getting out of a silver Jaguar.

  “Isn’t that our school’s dean? Do they know each other?” asked the girl as she looked from afar. Yang Tianming only taught the Year Threes and postgraduate students, so she could not help but wonder how a freshman like Gu Mang was so well-acquainted with the dean that she could receive a ride from him.

  Shen Qianzi’s eyes narrowed at that……

  When Gu Mang returned to the dorm, Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao approached her right away while looking especially excited. “Gu Mang, the review materials you gave us were a lifesaver! A few questions were based on the key points in there! A lot of people couldn’t answer the questions, but Zheng Miao and I managed to answer them!”


  “That’s right! We’ll definitely be able to get good grades on this exam! From now onwards, Room 409 is the scholars’ room. We’ll be able to apply for a dorm scholarship!” said Zheng Miao excitedly.

  Gu Mang lifted her eyebrow. “How much can you get?”


  Zheng Miao lifted her hands and showed ten fingers. “Each of us will be able to get this amount! That’s just how rich Capital University is!”


  In order to encourage improvement from the students, Capital University resorted to all sorts of tactics. They were very generous with monetary incentives.

  “The university sure is rich.” Gu Mang removed her cap and placed her backpack on the desk while thinking. That amount of money was enough to cover living expenses for an entire year.

  Upon recalling something, however, Tang Xiaoxiao’s face suddenly soured. “Ahhhh! Noooo! I don’t think I did very well on anatomy, medicine, and surgery. I hope it won’t affect my grades too much……”


  Zheng Miao’s eyes dimmed as well. She then patted Tang Xiaoxiao’s shoulders to reassure her. “It’s okay. Everyone else probably struggled too.”


  There was a popular saying in the medical school that went: It is only natural to fail at medicine and surgery. Taking the exam is a trial in itself.

  The exam questions were so hard all of the students could not help but feel pessimistic.
