Chapter 77: Teacher-Student Relationship

  Zhang Yi in the back corner of the classroom looked at the familiar yet strange face on the podium, and a taste of "wherever you go in life" arose from the bottom of his heart.

  The encounter at Xuancheng City's medicinal materials market was several months ago, but Zhang Yi found it hard to believe that a person could change so much in just a few months.

  She used to be!

  The aloofness that repels people thousands of miles away, makes one feel a deep and bottomless chasm between them, that is... an invisible repellent force.

  At this time.

  She was like a burning red candle, captivating and enchanting, with an allure that seemed to make people infatuated and unable to extricate themselves.

  "Could she be Gu Xin Yue's twin sister? One as cold as ice, the other as passionate as fire." Zhang Yi thought to himself as he quietly gazed at the stunning beauty on stage.

  Guxin Yue on the podium, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, those beautiful eyes slowly swept over the new students in the classroom, and lightly said: "I'm very happy to be the class teacher for this year's freshmen. Let me introduce myself, my surname is Gu, you can call me Teacher Gu or simply Class Teacher. For the next few years, I will..."

  Gu Xinyue's smile suddenly froze on her stunning face, and her eyes flowed with an unbelievable expression, looking at Zhang Yi in the last row of seats, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly a few times.

  Is it him?

  How is this possible?

  How could he, with his strength in traditional Chinese medicine, be a freshman at the Medical College of Jingnan University? Moreover, this is an internal medicine class in Western medicine, how could a talented traditional Chinese medicine practitioner come here to study Western medicine?

  There were more than sixty new students in the class, and at the same time, they discovered that Gu Xinyue's expression was not right. They followed Gu Xinyue's gaze and turned their heads to Zhang Yi in the last row of windows.

  "Class monitor, I admit that I'm quite charming. It's fine if you're attracted to me alone, but with all the beautiful female classmates giving me this fiery gaze along with you, I'll be overwhelmed." Zhang Yi's handsome face wore a bitter smile as he spoke slowly.

  If it were someone else who was his class monitor, he would definitely show more respect to the other person. However, he didn't think that the stunning beauty on the podium was not Gu Xinyue's twin sister, but Gu Xinyue herself. The two of them were old acquaintances, so he didn't feel any pressure at all. In order to break the awkward atmosphere in front of him and also to turn the situation around for Gu Xinyue's sake, he made a moderate joke.

  Hahaha...

  More than sixty students in the classroom suddenly burst into laughter, and even the boys in the back two rows gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up, with admiration on their faces.

  Gu Xinyue came to her senses in Zhang Yi's words, realizing her own loss of composure, and also Zhang Yi's sentence that seemed like a joke, but actually helped her resolve the awkward situation, which made her feel a little satisfied with Zhang Yi.

  However!

  That guy is really full of himself!

  Gu Xinyue smiled and raised her hands, pressing down on the empty space a few times, and said: "That classmate is very humorous! It seems that our class will be very lively from now on. What's that classmate's name?"

  I ask because I know.

  Zhang Yi muttered under his breath and nodded, saying: "Zhang Yi, I hope everyone will take care of each other from now on."

  Gu Xinyue gave Zhang Yi a meaningful smile, then clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and laughed: "Alright, in the next few years, we will be together, I hope everyone will unite and love each other, study hard, and if you have any difficulties, you can find me."

  After half an hour of interaction, Gu Xin Yue left the classroom. However, the look in her eyes as she handed something to Zhang Yi was thought-provoking.

  "Fellow students, as the saying goes: 'Fate brings people together from thousands of miles away, but without fate, they won't meet even if they're face to face.' Now that we've all come from far and wide to gather here, let's carry on the spirit of 'one lifetime of classmates, three lifetimes of close relatives.' How about we get together tonight? I'll treat you all to dinner at Yulin Restaurant in the East District." A young man with a stylish outfit, wearing glasses, walked up to the podium with a big smile and said.

  With a murmur from below, after a brief discussion, almost everyone in the classroom nodded in agreement.

  "Zhang Yi, are you going?"

  A girl in front of him suddenly stood up and turned her head to ask Zhang Yi.

  Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly and saying, "I'm really sorry, I have other things to attend to, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. When I have time in the future, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

  The girl's face showed a look of disappointment, and she nodded silently.

  In the corridors outside each classroom in the medical school, a fat and slovenly-looking Lu Xiaodao kept walking to the door of one classroom after another, peeking inside.

  "Where is the idol in which classroom? I've already searched four classrooms, didn't he come today?"

  At the end of the corridor, Zhang Yi, who had just walked out of the classroom with the crowd, saw Lu Xiaotao looking around. To avoid him doing something exaggerated again and drawing everyone's attention to himself, Zhang Yi quickly shifted his body, and then a classmate in front blocked Lu Xiaotao's line of sight, and soon walked down the stairs.

  Near the Medical College Teaching Building, in a red Audi car.

  Gu Xinyue put away the statistics she had just compiled and edited a short message on her phone before sending it out.

  Two minutes later.

  When she saw that figure walking out of the teaching building through the car window, a satisfied smile appeared on her absolutely beautiful face.

  The glass window beside the driver's seat slowly rolled down, and Gu Xinyue smiled lightly:

  "Get on the bus."

  After receiving a message from Gu Xinyue, Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before walking around the front of the car and opening the passenger door to get in.

  "Teacher Guo, looking for me about something?"

  Zhang Yi was somewhat unaccustomed to the ancient and varied emotions of Gu Xinyue, and after casually closing the car door, he felt a bit uneasy. He shifted his body slightly, but his gaze still didn't fall on her.

  Gu Xinyue's mouth curled up, with a playful expression, looking at Zhang Yi, she smiled slyly: "You seem to be very afraid of me? No, it's more like you're very afraid of the current me? What happened to that Zhang Yi who dared to confront me head-on back then?"

  Zhang Yi struggled to control his emotions, turned his head to look at Gu Xin Yue, and smiled bitterly: "It's a bit unaccustomed to your current appearance."

  "Are you afraid of being enchanted by me?"

  "Teacher Gu, you've misunderstood," Zhang Yi hastily said. "I'm still young and should focus on my studies. I don't want to think about that kind of thing, not because I'm afraid of being charmed by you. Uh... did you call me over for something?"

  Still young?

  Gu Xinyue was both amused and annoyed at heart.

  "Just call me Guxin Yue! Let you call me a teacher, I will not be able to bear it."

  "This..."

  "Don't say this and that! If I let you call me, then just call!"

  Zhang Yi was silent for a moment before slowly asking, "Aren't you running a company in Jingnan City? How did you suddenly become a teacher at the Medical College of Jingnan University?"

  Gu Xinyue said: "Running a company is just my sideline, when I graduated from university, I stayed in school to be a teacher. But you, aren't you a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Why did you come to the Medical College of Jingnan University to study? And it's even in the internal medicine department! With your medical skills, even if you came here to be a teacher, wouldn't that be more than enough?"

  "My master said that traditional Chinese medicine has its own strengths, and Western medicine has its own advantages. Only by combining the two can we better adapt to this society and go further."

  A hint of unusual color appeared at the bottom of Gu Xinyue's eyes:

  Her grandfather had once said this sentence, and she hadn't expected to hear it from Zhang Yi's mouth today.

  "It's alright, I'm fine now. Where are you going? I'll send you off." Gu Xin Yue said with a hint of a smile.

  "After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yi spoke up: 'Never mind, I'll go myself!'"

  After getting off the car, Zhang Yi walked directly towards the distance, and stayed with Gu Xin Yue who was extremely charming. He always felt a bit uncomfortable.

  "Zhang Yi, remember to attend military training on the 7th and it will last for a month." Gu Xin Yue walked down from the driver's seat and shouted at Zhang Yi.

  Military training?

  Zhang Yi stopped in his tracks, a thoughtful expression flickering in his eyes. After a moment, he turned his back on Gu Xin Yue and walked away with a wave of his hand towards the distance.

  The fragrant flowers overflow from the edge of the garden.

  Lu Xiaodao stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his mouth twitching, and a look of admiration slowly emerging in his eyes. A beautiful woman in a luxury car, an idol who walked so elegantly, truly a dragon among men!

  "I've got him now! From now on, I'll be keeping an eye on him!"

  Lu Xiaotao's heart surged with intense excitement, his entire body trembling with agitation, he swallowed hard and watched as Gu Xinyue got into the car and drove away, before taking off in a sprint to chase after Zhang Yi's distant figure.

  "Found the organization...... Saw the dawn......"

  Lu Xiaodao's heart was cheering and jumping for joy, his footsteps seemed to have become much lighter.

  "Idol... Idol, wait for me!"

  When he was still twenty or thirty meters away from Zhang Yi, Lu Xiaotao suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly.

  Some familiar voices made Zhang Yi stop in his tracks, and when he turned to see Lu Xiaodao rushing towards him quickly, Zhang Yi's scalp felt numb, and a wave of powerlessness surged up from the bottom of his heart.

  If the other person is arrogant and provocative in front of him, he can punch him in the face without hesitation; but that dead fat Lu Xiaodao, he is full of flattery and fawning, one sentence for an idol, one sentence for praise, making him feel helpless.

  He can't use violence to drive Lu Xiaodao away since he is a smiling face person who doesn't hit when offered a handshake.

  "It's all Gu Xinyue's fault, she's got nothing better to do after eating her fill and called me here for no reason. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been discovered by this 'dog skin plaster'." Zhang Yi muttered to himself.

  "Anything wrong?"

  Zhang Yi frowned and asked.

  Lu Xiaotao rushed to Zhang Yi's front, panting and out of breath, and directly gave a thumbs up, with a face full of admiration, saying: "Idol, awesome, really awesome. From now on, even if you hit me or scold me, I, Lu Xiaotao, won't leave your side, I'll follow you forever. The beautiful car and woman in the back, your departing figure, is really too cool. You know, Gu Xinyue, the second place in the 'School Flower List', other men can't help but fawn over her, but you just waved your sleeve and didn't bring any cloud with you, yet Gu Xinyue still looked at your back figure with reluctance, that scene, really has too much visual impact!"

  "Get out!"

  Zhang Yi felt quite comfortable with Lu Xiaotao's flattery, but still kept a straight face and said in an ill-tempered tone.
