Chapter 108: Expulsion of Students

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next morning, in one of the laboratory building’s classrooms…

Students yawned as they entered the lecture theatre. A few more observant students noticed a mannequin-like object slumped over a desk in the corner.

Curious, they approached the hunched figure, attempting to discern what it was in the dimly lit room. A quick-eyed female student scread in alarm, hastily covering her eyes, “It’s moving!” Her frantic cry caused a commotion. Even students of the Departnt of Chinese dicine, a study of sciences, were superstitious, wary of ghosts and gods.

The students picked up whatever they could find. Brooms, books, chairs and bins were raised to defend themselves.

Qu Xiao had dark circles under her eyes, and her long hair draped over her shoulders in a ss of knots. She got up slowly, using her hands to part the curtain of hair covering her face.

“… What are you all doing here?”

Her hands were covered in soil. It might have taken a while, but she managed to re-pot all the dicinal herbs in the temperature control display cabinet.

Qu Xiao followed Lei Qiming’s instructions to the letter, using both of her hands to handle each plant one at a ti. She ticulously cleaned the roots of each plant, removing the clumped up soil and dirt. It was an important step to prevent cross-contamination. Qu Xiao worked tirelessly through the night and felt her legs turn numb as she tried to stand, almost losing her balance.

She staggered, catching herself against the edge of a long table, and patted so feeling back into her legs.

The female student, who scread, regained her senses and seed abashed. “Who gave you the key?” She blurted out.

“This is the teaching building. You are not an official student of this school. You should pay attention to your boundaries.”

“There are many rare dicinal herbs in the laboratory. What if you break them or steal them to sell them? Give us the key!”

Qu Xiao was pretty, and her delicate face held a fatal attraction.

Yesterday, in the lecture hall, Qu Xiao was able to answer Lei Qiming’s tricky questions. All the male students of the Departnt of Chinese dicine ogled her with star-struck eyes, inquiring into her identity. Most of them were discussing whether or not she was single.

The female students naturally held a lot of resentnt and dissatisfaction in their hearts. Hence, their joint attack against Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao’s purpose in coming to ‘A’ university was to cooperate with Lei Qiming and develop a treatnt plan that would allow Shang Yan to stand up again. She did not intend to argue with anyone, so she bit her tongue and reigned in her temper, looking like a ek lamb, gentle and timid.

The female student arrogantly bumped into her, almost hitting the dicinal herbs kept in the temperature control cabinet.

Qu Xiao’s eyes were sharp as she raised her hand to steady the swaying flowerpots and glared at the female student.

The female student broke out in a cold sweat. Though she was scared, she did not want to look weak, so she puffed up her chest with her head held high and roared, “What are you looking at?”

“As a student of the Departnt of Chinese dicine, don’t you know the rules of using the laboratory?”

“Keep quiet, keep calm, don’t push, and don’t argue with your peers. This is to avoid damaging the laboratory equipnt and dicinal herbs.”

The female student’s face flushed red. She bit her red lips and muttered, “It’s not your place to tell what I can or cannot do!”

“Get out. You don’t belong here! We don’t want to see you!”

The tense atmosphere dissipated as soon as Lei Qiming swept into the laboratory, his voice cracking with the sound of thunder, “She may not have the right, but what about ?”

The students watching the show were so scared that they stood rooted to the spot. They all side-stepped in unison, parting to allow Lei Qiming through.

“It seems like you don’t rember the rules of the laboratory. Therefore, you don’t need to take the final exam this sester.”

“Look for your horoom teacher and inform them that you will be changing majors. I won’t continue to be your tutor… I don’t need students who can’t distinguish right from wrong and allow their emotions to rule their actions. Just because your grades have been stellar, don’t expect special treatnt from .”

Lei Qiming’s words tolled like the sound of the evening bell, haunting and rciless. The female student trembled from head to toe. In fear, she ran up to the professor and said, “I know I’m wrong! Please give another chance…”

The female student had already studied Chinese dicine for three years. If she changed majors now, it would affect when she could graduate. Moreover, it would be a stain on her record, potentially affecting her future career and trajectory in life.

Seeing the female student’s plight, Qu Xiao felt bad and ant to plead on the girl’s behalf, but a look from Lei Qiming stifled her words before they could tumble free.

“What are you all standing around for? Begin your experints!”

“You. Co with ,” Lei Qiming pointed at Qu Xiao and walked to the office in the back of the laboratory. He left the door slightly ajar to avoid suspicion.

Qu Xiao followed him in. When she saw the female student standing in a daze outside, she said sympathetically, “She was just a little excited. Perhaps you might like to reconsider?”

Lei Qiming opened the drawer, withdrawing a leatherbound notebook.

“Do you have a lot of free ti on your hands? Are you volunteering to be her knight in shining armour?”

Lei Qiming glanced at the door indifferently, “A doctor’s ntality is quintessential. Even if she possessed superb dical skills, she’d only sow disaster without a good heart. There were once many students who, after graduation, let money and earthly benefits corrupt them. They would do anything; ethics took a back seat. So of those things they did still chill my heart when I think about them.”

“There are many professions under the sun; it isn’t too late for her to walk another path. With her nature, there are many other paths more suited to her than the study of Chinese dicine.”

Lei Qiming’s words stunned Qu Xiao. She did not expect such a simple action to contain such deep aning. The old man was not simple!

“I watched you dealing with the dicinal herbs.”

Lei Qiming pointed at the synchronised monitor video on the computer screen. “You did well. Every step was ticulous, following standard procedure. I’m impressed. Therefore, I shall fulfil my end of the bargain. From today onwards, you are an intern on my project team.”
