Chapter 2088: Want to Go Find Him Earlier Tomorrow

Pink, with a long plastic tube attached to the pen cap, topped with a little mushroom head.

The pen barrel is adorned with various tiny stickers, cute and playful.

He chuckled softly, “So forgetful, even after checking so many times, you still left something behind.”

He casually stuffed the pen back under the pillow, slowly lay down on his side, feeling that this posture was uncomfortable. Having been tense all day, lying down felt better. Little did he know that something hard bumped against his chest, causing him to hiss lightly. He reached out to feel what it was.

It was a shark hair clip, hard against the skin.

“That girl, how come after not seeing her for months, she’s become even sillier!”

“Achoo—”

In the car, Ye Wanting sneezed, she touched her ear, which felt a bit warm.

“Caught a chill?” Xu Shu glanced at her, “Weren’t you inside the room all day without the air conditioning on? Didn’t hear you sneezing when we set off.”

Ye Wanting sniffed, “No, maybe I left the window open too wide.”

Xu Shu then rolled up the window a bit on her side.

The car stopped at the school’s back gate, Ye Wanting gathered her things and thanked him, “Thank you, Brother Shu, for the trouble of taking me.”

“It’s no trouble at all. If I let you go back on your own, Yaen Chi wouldn’t be at ease. I’m keeping an eye on you for him, ensuring you get back safely.”

“Huh?” Ye Wanting looked up, her youthful face showing a confused expression.

Xu Shu roughly understood why Yaen Chi liked teasing her so much. He smiled, “Nothing else to it, get some good rest. You are tired today.”

Ye Wanting’s face felt a bit warm. She wasn’t particularly tired, just fetching some water and supporting Yaen Chi a few times. There wasn’t much else she could do, especially since when he wanted to use the bathroom, an attendant came in to help him.

“Tomorrow I’ll come earlier, I can skip the morning class.”

Xu Shu asked, “Whose class is it tomorrow morning?”

“Professor Khor’s.”

“Professor Khor Chong, right?”

Ye Wanting’s eyes lit up, “Brother Shu, you know Professor Khor too?”

He smiled warmly, “I’ve met him a few times during academic exchanges, hit it off quite well. I only knew before that he turned down many hospital offers to stay and teach at his alma mater, didn’t expect it was Jingda University.”

“Our Professor Khor is amazing, his classes are never empty, and he is exceptionally kind. He patiently explains everything until we completely understand whenever we ask questions.”

Xu Shu said, “That’s why, skipping Professor Khor’s class is quite a pity.”

Ye Wanting was taken aback, her charming face still held an unshed smile, faintly showing some guilt.

She seemed apologetic about wanting to skip Professor Khor’s class.

But she was very worried about Yaen Chi.

“Professor Khor’s medical skills are unparalleled, they say he can tell if a patient can still be saved just by the diagnosis, never performs meaningless surgeries. It’s a shame he retired too early; reportedly, he left the surgical field in his early forties despite the hospital’s attempts to retain him. He plunged into education, I talked with him about it once, his tone was quite regretful then. He laughed heartily, telling me he was getting older, and would eventually be unable to continue in the operating room. While his skills were still intact, he wanted to teach and nurture talents for the hospital. His selfless spirit really made me admire him and feel ashamed.”

It was Ye Wanting’s first time hearing him say so much, his gentlemanly warm face seemed to have a hint of blush, subtly visible beneath his skin, eyes filled with aspirations, occasionally tapping his fingers on the steering wheel lightly.

He looked at Ye Wanting with a smile, “Attend the classes properly, don’t waste Professor Khor’s hard efforts.”
