Chapter 493: Nini, I’m Angry (Part 1)

"Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

Ruan Hongbo’s gaze on Shen Nian was clearly tinged with surprise. He really hadn’t expected such a beautiful girl to choose a major like Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"That’s right. Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Shen Nian, of course, saw the surprise in Ruan Hongbo’s eyes. But no matter how surprised others were, this was her choice.

When practiced well, Traditional Chinese Medicine is in no way inferior to Western medicine. The knowledge passed down from our ancestors is full of profound wisdom! Besides, with all the wonderful things her master had left her, she was confident she could help the practice flourish.

"Junior Sister Shen, why did you choose a major like Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"What’s wrong with Traditional Chinese Medicine? Are you looking down on it?"

As Shen Nian spoke, her tone sharpened, and her expression grew colder.

"No, that’s not what I meant. I just..."

Ruan Hongbo was taken aback by Shen Nian’s sudden change. ’Jeez, this pretty junior has quite a temper. I only said one thing, how did I manage to upset her?!’

’But then again, it makes sense. If someone told me that studying medicine was useless, I probably wouldn’t be happy either!’

With that thought, Ruan Hongbo felt a sense of relief.

"Junior Sister Shen, it’s my fault. I misspoke. Traditional Chinese Medicine is great, really great!"

"That’s more like it."

Seeing that Ruan Hongbo seemed genuinely apologetic, Shen Nian decided not to press the issue. She could tell, of course, that his words were just polite platitudes. In his heart, he probably still didn’t think much of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

But that was fine. Shen Nian believed that time would surely change his opinion.

Seeing that Shen Nian was no longer angry, Ruan Hongbo also breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Junior Sister Shen, let’s go register at the medical school now!"

The Traditional Chinese Medicine program was also part of the medical school. Even if he wasn’t familiar with other parts of the campus, Ruan Hongbo knew the medical school very well.

Although Ruan Hongbo hadn’t paid much attention to the Traditional Chinese Medicine program, he had heard that they had a truly incredible professor. But that professor’s personality...

"Junior Sister Shen, why did you want to study Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

On the way to the medical school, Ruan Hongbo cast about for something to talk about out of boredom. Otherwise, the three of them walking the whole way without saying a word would be pretty awkward.

’He had originally wanted to strike up a conversation with Lu Cheng. After all, they were both men; it should have been easy to start a conversation. But one look at Lu Cheng’s cold and stern appearance, and he seemed completely unapproachable. And so, he chickened out...’

He glanced at Lu Cheng, then back at Shen Nian. ’This pretty junior’s husband is handsome enough, but his personality seems terrifying. How does she put up with it?!’

"Then why did Senior Brother Ruan choose to study clinical medicine?"

Shen Nian didn’t answer Ruan Hongbo’s question directly, instead turning it back on him.

"To save lives and heal the sick, of course! Ever since I was a child, I’ve dreamed of being an angel in white!"

When he spoke of his dream, Ruan Hongbo’s eyes seemed to shine. From the looks of it, he truly loved the medical profession.

"I also want to save lives and heal the sick! And what’s more, I want to help Traditional Chinese Medicine flourish!"

Shen Nian said confidently. Back when she had formally acknowledged her master, she had already made that promise.

Ruan Hongbo looked at Shen Nian. She was already a stunning beauty, but as she spoke, she radiated a confidence that made her seem to glow, involuntarily drawing everyone’s gaze.

Ruan Hongbo was admiring her beauty when he suddenly felt a chill wash over him.
