Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Hosting a Banquet Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Hosting a Banquet “We can’t let you pay for the al, you’re a freshman, it’s supposed to be us giving you a welco dinner. Tonight, I’ll treat,” Ma Yao insisted, being the straightforward and generous type.
Bai Xiao smiled without saying anything, while Lin Xiang quickly covered Ma Yao’s mouth, “Just forget about it, with Bai Xiao we can get in on sothing good! If we follow you, we’ll end up eating stead buns and duck blood soup on the street. Please, spare us.”
This foodie had been looking forward to Bai Xiao’s banquet for a long ti and was not about to let Ma Yao ruin it.
Ma Yao, annoyed, clenched her fist and reached out to scratch Lin Xiang, “You should go on a diet, I’m warning you, you need to control your mouth!”
“Diet! Of course, I’ll diet, but only after I’ve had this al from Bai Xiao,” Lin Xiang said with a mischievous smile, dodging and hiding behind Bai Xiao, using her as a shield.
Ma Yao tried scratching a few tis but missed, and grumbled with itching teeth, “What do you an my stead buns and duck blood soup aren’t good? The place by the door tastes really authentic; the entire campus says their food is delicious.”
Her standards for food were really low. However, when it ca to Sanda equipnt, that was Ma Yao’s passion—she was willing to spend whatever it took.
Even if she was hungry, she would try to buy them. This woman had a special love for Sanda; it was a mystery why she didn’t pursue it but chose to study dicine instead—it didn’t make sense.
Bai Xiao’s eyes crinkled with amusent. One of the biggest advantages of student life is gaining a group of sisters and close friends. The relationships are different and purer compared to everyday friends and colleagues—more genuine.
Perhaps that’s the charm of student life.
In the afternoon, everyone went to their respective classes. Bai Xiao spent her afternoon in the library, earnestly borrowing a big volu of Shennong’s Materia dica. It’s not that she lacked a foundation; in her previous life, she had dabbled in it to so extent for the sake of keeping up appearances, sadly learning it halfheartedly.
But her foundation was definitely solid; after all, in her previous life, Shang Kaiwen was afraid she’d draw too much attention and beco the target of powerful people who she would struggle against. To protect against this, she had even arranged for several esteed Traditional Chinese dicine Masters to tutor her for a while, so her basics were more than passable.
Bai Xiao was more eager to learn real Acupuncture, prescriptions, and pulse diagnosis. If she could master these and combine them with her ‘special ability’, she could beco an infallible Traditional Chinese dicine Doctor and reach the pinnacle of her life in no ti.
After reading for an entire afternoon, she realized her shortcomings—what it ant to be superficial. The charm of Traditional Chinese dicine started with practice, with the initial understanding of the mysteries and applications of classic prescriptions.
It seed she had much to learn.
Glancing at her watch and seeing it was six o’clock, she hurried to find Ma Yao and the others; she couldn’t go back on her word. Besides, having co to Modu, if she hadn’t properly tasted the local cuisine, it would have been a wasted trip.
After dinner, she’d still have ti to give Ah Er Ge a call. They had agreed to speak daily on the phone. Writing letters wasn’t impossible, just too slow. Bai Xiao had considered buying a cell phone but couldn’t get past the idea of looking like a nouveau riche. She decided to wait.
In a few years, pagers would be better.
For now, she had to make do with the telephone.
Upon returning to the dormitory, she found Ma Yao and the others already there. Seeing Bai Xiao, Lin Xiang bead with joy—as far as a food lover was concerned, no news was good news.
The four of them left the dormitory, and Bai Xiao had specifically inquired about a nearby famous local restaurant—apparently, it was a luxury hotel.
But for one al, she wasn’t going to worry about money.
