Chapter 141 - Immortals Retreat
As the old professor posed question after question, his gaze upon Ye Hao grew increasingly radiant, for not a single answer from Ye Hao was incorrect.
The challenge in popularizing traditional dicine lay in the sheer volu of information practitioners were expected to rember. A single prescription could baffle countless students, with each containing anywhere from a dozen to thirty different herbs. Moreover, doctors had to tailor the herbs to each patient's specific needs.
Even renowned doctors wouldn't claim to have all the prescriptions morized; they only rembered the most common ones. Yet, the student before him had committed to mory all one thousand prescriptions in the textbook. This was indeed astonishing.
“Your grasp of the prescriptions is impressive,” the old professor said with a smile to Ye Hao. “But along with morizing them, do you understand the underlying pharmacology?”
“Of course!”
“What?” The old professor was taken aback.
Ye Hao had a firm understanding of pharmacology, having completed all the first-year courses in just a few days.
No matter what the old professor asked, Ye Hao consistently provided the correct answer imdiately. After more than a dozen questions, the professor ceased asking; it was clear the student had mastered the entire book, as his responses were too fluid to suggest otherwise.
“You don't need to attend my classes anymore,” the old professor said with a chuckle.
“Thank you, Teacher,” Ye Hao replied, returning to his seat with a smile.
Half an hour later, the class bell signaled the end of the session. Zhang Lan approached Ye Hao with a grin.
”I have sothing to tell you.”
“What's that?”
“The autumn sports et starts in three days.”
“And?”
“I've signed you up for the 100m and 400m sprints, as well as the 1500m and 3000m long-distance races,” Zhang Lan said, her eyes betraying her nervousness. She had registered him without his consent and was concerned he might be upset. Unable to reach Ye Hao, she had no other option.
“Is that all?” Ye Hao inquired.
“What?” Zhang Lan replied, caught off guard.
“As long as the events don't overlap, I'm in,” Ye Hao stated casually. “After all, I've got ti on my hands.”
“Are you certain?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Lan swiveled around and settled back into her seat to review the sports et schedule.
Without further ado, Zhang Lan registered Ye Hao for fourteen events.
Ye Hao was indifferent.
Three periods later, the afternoon classes concluded. Ye Hao joined the exiting throng, spotting Xu ngng by the doorway.
“Xu ngng, are you waiting for soone?” Ye Hao inquired gently.
“Yes, I'm waiting for soone.” Xu ngng's smile revealed her prominent dimples.
“Then I'll be on my way.”
“I'm not waiting anymore.”
“Why's that?”
“Because the person I've been waiting for is here,” Xu ngng replied cheerfully.
“You were waiting for ? What's up?” Ye Hao hadn't anticipated that Xu ngng was there for him.
“I need a favor.”
“What kind?”
“Could you pretend to be my boyfriend?” Xu ngng asked, her expression pleading.
“Why?”
“My parents are pressuring to get married!”
“You're just a freshman.” Ye Hao was incredulous.
It seed too soon for her parents to be pushing for marriage.
“But my parents are adamant about marrying so wealthy local guy,” Xu ngng explained with concern. “That's why I need you to pose as my boyfriend.”
Ye Hao was taken aback.
“Will you help out?” Xu ngng pleaded, shaking Ye Hao's arm and batting her large eyes.
“Alright, stop shaking . I agree,” Ye Hao conceded reluctantly.
“Then let's go,” Xu ngng declared.
“Now?”
“Yes.”
“I need to get ready.” Ye Hao, dressed casually, wanted to change into sothing more formal.
“What do you need to get ready for?”
“I'm going to change my clothes.”
“Okay.” Xu ngng nodded in agreent.
Watching Ye Hao and Xu ngng walk off side by side, Zhang Lan couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy.
“Can't you let go of Ye Hao?”
“How could I easily forget him?”
“Why not pursue him?”
“Ye Hao is already Tang Pianpian's boyfriend.”
Bai Hehua spoke solemnly, “As long as they're not married, there's still a chance. I truly hope that you'll be the one to marry Ye Hao in the end.”
“Let's talk about it later,” Zhang Lan said without responding to Bai Hehua, her steps heavy as she headed toward her dorm room.
Bai Hehua watched Zhang Lan's dejected silhouette, feeling deeply upset.
With Zhang Lan's looks, she deserved the finest man. Yet, Zhang Lan had fallen for Ye Hao.
Truth be told, Bai Hehua felt the sa way.
At least eight boys in their class had a crush on Bai Hehua, and across the whole school, even more harbored secret affections for her. But her heart was set on Ye Hao.
Maybe it's true that we covet what we cannot have.
Xu ngng was curiously inspecting Ye Hao's room when she quickly spotted two lace bras on the balcony, which made her face turn a shade paler.
As she wandered into the master bedroom, she ca across a photo of Tang Pianpian.
Was Tang Pianpian actually living with Ye Hao?
Thankfully, Ye Hao and Tang Pianpian weren't sharing a room.
Erging from the guest room in a suit, Ye Hao was t by Xu ngng feigning composure as she asked, “Ye Hao, does Tang Pianpian live here?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you two living together?”
“It's complicated.”
“Complicated?”
“Yes.”
“Can you give the details?”
“Now's not a good ti,” Ye Hao deflected, “We should get going. Traffic in Glento is a nightmare at this hour.”
“Okay.” Xu ngng was still curious about the living arrangent between Ye Hao and Tang Pianpian.
Yet, from their brief exchange, Xu ngng was fairly certain that their cohabitation wasn't romantic in nature. If it were, Ye Hao wouldn't have any reason to hide it.
After all, not just anyone could claim to be Tang Pianpian's boyfriend!
Then again, there was another possibility: Ye Hao was lying.
And if he lied to Xu ngng, it could an he had feelings for her.
But was that even a remote possibility?
Ye Hao had never once sought her out for a chat. Xu ngng found it hard to believe that Ye Hao could have feelings for her.
Together, they hailed a taxi and sped off toward their destination.
In Glento, traffic jams are a frequent occurrence.
At the mont, the two were caught in the midst of one.
They had reached their destination an hour and a half ago.
Ye Hao gazed at the Immortals Retreat before him, a look of astonishnt in his eyes.
“What's the matter?” Xu ngng inquired with curiosity.
“Why did you pick this place?” Ye Hao asked with a chuckle.
His amusent stemd from the fact that the Immortals Retreat was owned by the Faang family. Not long ago, they had gifted the club to him.
