Chapter 422: Chapter 412: Do You Still Feel Humiliated Now?

Just as she was about to leave, Xia Enci finished her run and came over, saying, "Xiaozhe! Did you just thrash the squad leader? The squad leader with the most rigorous demands and the most powerful solo combat ability in our group!"

"Oh, we just had a little sparring session."

"We all saw it!" Xia Enci waved to the new recruits on her side, pointing at Jiang Zhe, "She’s my friend! She’s my sister!"

Her face was a picture of vicarious pride, as if she couldn’t wait to boast about it to the whole world.

Some people from the other side waved at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe: "..."

"Let’s go," she said.

Then, turning back, she tossed a box of medicine to Xia Enci, "Your leg should be fine now, but if it hurts, use this, red for topical application, green for oral intake."

She finished speaking and was about to walk out side by side with Qin Jingchen.

The new recruits who came today were all female soldiers, much like Xia Enci, chosen from amongst college freshmen, not yet strictly disciplined. Seeing Qin Jingchen pass by, many pairs of eyes were fixed on him, some even held their faces in their hands, showing an unwillingness to part.

Jiang Zhe said, "It seems a number of people are taken with you."

Qin Jingchen found this statement familiar; he had said the same thing to Jiang Zhe that night.

He grabbed Jiang Zhe’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

"But, the only person that will catch my heart is you," Qin Jingchen looked down at her seriously.

Jiang Zhe pushed him away and continued walking forward.

The female soldiers behind realized something—that the man in front of them had a girlfriend—and gave up any further infatuated thoughts.

Qin Jingchen quickly caught up with Jiang Zhe, and in a place out of everyone’s sight, he pressed her against the car and kissed her.

He intertwined his fingers with hers, leaning in closer, his kiss deepening until it seemed to swallow Jiang Zhe’s breath.

His fingers threaded through hers, twisting around each one of her fingers, his warm skin igniting heat against her cool skin.

Jiang Zhe felt a kind of powerless thirst and suffocation.

Inside the barracks, the squad leader was still questioning his life.

The passing commander patted his shoulder and said, "Winning and losing are common in the military; there is no shame in defeat."

"But she’s a new recruit, not even a soldier yet..." the squad leader said dejectedly.

The commander took him back to the command room and pointed at the computer screen, asking, "Do you still feel humiliated now?"

The squad leader looked closely and saw that the man on the computer screen, wearing a high-ranking officer’s uniform beside a high-ranking general, was none other than the man who had just subdued him with one move.

By this logic, even though the girl appeared delicate, the fact that she could be with that man and have a martial prowess that overwhelmed his own, wouldn’t that be perfectly normal?

His self-doubt vanished, and he lifted his head with a resolute gaze.

...

Jiang Zhe returned to school and sent out a few messages on her phone.

The actions taken by Qin Kuo, though not easy to explain publicly, were no problem to clear up with her own people with a bit of extra explanation.

Yang Feiliu sent a message first, "I knew it, how could Qin Jingchen be so idle. Sure enough, it was that sickly Qin Kuo. He even dragged it onto our heads! Should I have Fangkuai K and Meihua A take action against him?"

"Forget it, let it be for now, don’t act rashly."

Messages in the chat group continued to pop up immediately after.

[Chicibuchiyu]: Qin Kuo?

[It’s Mo Ye, not Sam]: Does he have a screw loose or something? Sneaking around using someone else’s name to cause trouble?

[Tiaotiaohu]: Definitely has a major screw loose!

[Yang Feiliu can’t fly]: Alright, the boss said to let it go for now, you guys need to tone it down a bit.

Jiang Zhe tucked away his phone as the class also came to an end.

Professor Tan asked her to come over.

Standing in front of Professor Tan, Jiang Zhe waited for him to speak.

"There’s an opportunity that has come up to go to the Beicheng Continent Medical Center, and I’ve been applying on your behalf."

"I don’t want to go," Jiang Zhe furrowed her brow.

"You’re not allowed to not go!" Professor Tan became serious. "You know about Beicheng Continent, right? Whether it’s in technology or medical arts, it’s more advanced than any other place, especially the Medical Center. They’re decades ahead of the medical research field elsewhere. They rarely interact with the outside world, and it’s only in recent years that they’ve gradually opened up channels for communication and learning. If other people were able to go there, they would grasp the opportunity without hesitation. You must go."

Jiang Zhe pursed her lips, having no intention to go.

Professor Tan pleaded earnestly, "Others want to go but don’t have the chance. If your application is successful, you must go."

"Is there anything else?"

"Actually, there is," Professor Tan said with a smile. "I heard that the last time, Xia Enci’s leg surgery was performed by you? I’ve looked into it, and your surgical skills have surpassed those of other doctors who have been working for many years. You don’t need to attend the first-year undergraduate classes anymore. Go to the lab and help me with experiments. Also, I’m about to teach a class for second-year graduate students on the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, a course for second-year graduate students, which is the most important and the toughest part of the graduate phase. You will be my assistant."

"Professor, isn’t that a bit too much studying?"

Jiang Zhe asked.

Professor Tan laughed and said, "Since you have already mastered all the theoretical knowledge of the undergraduate and master’s stages, and your practice is also more advanced than others, you naturally don’t need to learn the freshman content anymore. If I’m asking you to be an assistant in the second-year class, you should grasp the second-year knowledge well. Then later on, you can take two other related majors and make the most of these five years in university."

It seemed Professor Tan was determined to push her into this whether she liked it or not.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to agree for the time being.

That afternoon, she was dragged by Professor Tan to the lab to do experiments.

Jiang Zhe remembered the fear of being controlled by Old Fu.

Now the word "experiment" alone gave her a headache.

After finishing the experiments, Professor Tan told her to go to the second-year class.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to follow.

When Professor Tan arrived at the classroom, he introduced Jiang Zhe to everyone. "From now on, Jiang Zhe will be my assistant. If you have any questions, you can ask me first. If I don’t understand, then you can ask her."

"Professor Tan, you got that wrong, didn’t you? How did it become ’if you don’t understand, then ask her’?"

Jiang Zhe said with an expressionless face, "It should be ’if I don’t understand, ask Professor Tan’. But I hope everyone still asks Professor Tan. Professor Tan is extremely capable and academically rigorous, and by asking him, you will surely get the most complete solutions."

Professor Tan knew Jiang Zhe was being emotional but didn’t take it as defiance.

Instead, a student from below said, "But Professor Tan, Jiang Zhe is just a freshman, right? How could she possibly be your assistant? If we really encounter problems that need the teaching assistant to solve, do we actually let Jiang Zhe take care of them?"

"Of course," Professor Tan said. "Do I look like I’m joking?"

Jiang Zhe followed up by saying, "If you can convince Professor Tan to let me skip class, that would certainly be best."

"Nonsense! Let’s start the class!" Professor Tan opened the textbook.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to open her textbook as well and keep up with the second-year course.
