Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The bell rang and Miss Zhang and the students entered the classroom one after another.
There were many extra-curricular activities in aristocratic schools. Every semester, students with excellent results would be called to participate in summer camp and extra-curricular training.
Miss Zhang knocked on the blackboard and handed the promotional materials in her hands to the students.
Qu Xiao lowered her head and looked at the eye-catching words “Medical department”. She flipped through them with interest and found that this activity was organized by A University. She silently pondered in her heart, perhaps it was a good opportunity to get in touch with that professor in advance.
Miss Zhang slammed the table to achieve silence in the midst of noisy discussions.
“In a few days, A University will hold a medical knowledge competition. Students who are ranked in the top ten will be able to go to A University’s medical laboratory to do practical exercises! This is a very rare opportunity. Everyone should know how prestigious A University’s medical department is…”
A University’s medical department nurtured top doctors from many departments in the country. It could be said to be the cradle of medical geniuses.
The equipment in the medical laboratory was the most advanced equipment in the country and abroad. It was completely untouchable by the outside world.
Qu Xiao’s eyes lit up. She repeatedly looked at a few photos on the promotional materials and at a glance recognized the precision instrument that could help her develop medicine! She had browsed through many ancient medical books and knew a few prescriptions that could help heal Shang Yan’s illness.
However, with the current equipment she had at the Chinese medicine store, there was no way to prepare them. This competition at A University was an amazing opportunity for her.
When Miss Zhang saw the excited looks of the students, she added once again, “The top three students will be able to lower the cut-off point for their admission to the medical department of A University by 15 points. This is a rare opportunity. I hope that all of you will prepare seriously and fight for a spot!”
When Qu Xiao heard this, she suddenly raised her hand, wanting to ask about the scope of the competition.
However, Miss Zhang misunderstood her and said gently, “Qu Xiao, you may not have come into contact with medical knowledge in the past. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough knowledge in this area. There will be other opportunities in the future. You don’t have to be discouraged. You just have to work hard…”
When Qu Xiao heard her comforting words, she shook her head with a calm and confident expression and said in a clear voice, “Teacher, I want to sign up.”
The students in the class all turned their heads and stared at Qu Xiao. Even Zhou Ce looked at her in surprise, as if he was questioning her ability.
Qu Qi suddenly burst out laughing. She turned around and looked at Qu Xiao, “Sister, you don’t even have any medical knowledge. Don’t waste a spot. When the time comes, you’ll only embarrass our class. We don’t want to be ridiculed by the students in the other classes because of you.”
She only opened a Chinese medicine store. Did she really think that she was proficient in Chinese medicine?

Qu Qi mocked in her heart, and Li Xuan followed suit. “You grew up in the countryside. Where did you learn medical knowledge from?”
“Did you learn from a barefoot doctor in the village? The professors in A University are serious and strict. They hate students who treat medicine as a joke. If you really were to participate in the competition, you’ll probably anger the professors. You’d better save your energy.”
“The competition is conducted in public. There’s no chance for you to cheat! Don’t even think about it.”
Li Xuan said sarcastically. Miss Zhang pushed her black glasses and stared at her. “Students should be friendly and help each other. Don’t mock your classmates.”
“Everyone has the right to chase their dreams. Qu Xiao has to make the decision by herself.”
Miss Zhang still wanted to persuade Qu Xiao to give up, but how could Qu Xiao let go of this opportunity? She insisted on signing up.
“It’s alright. If you want to participate, just do your best. It’s okay whatever ranking you get”
Miss Zhang looked at the application form Qu Xiao handed over and said in a comforting tone.
Qu Xiao stood in front of the podium, her eyes bright as she looked at the school emblem of A University. She said to herself with certainty, “I will definitely succeed.”
Regardless of whether it was for Shang Yan or for herself!
“Is she crazy? The medical department of A University… even the top student in our grade doesn’t dare to say that she will definitely succeed.”
“I think she is just too desperate to prove herself. When the time comes, we’ll be able to see her make a fool of herself.”
The surrounding female students glanced at Qu Xiao with a hint of jealousy in their eyes. Their tone was unfriendly as they ridiculed and discussed.
Qu Xiao silently flipped open the information booklet of the A University medical competition. She grasped the scope of the competition’s topics and was seriously making preparations and plans.
After class, Qu Qi walked to her side. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Qu Xiao, you will definitely fail!”
