nFang Qiu turned his head to see Shen Chun who was in a hurry to catch up with him.

n“Student, I’m wondering where did you learn the bonesetting technique?”

nShen Chun was obviously very interested in Fang Qiu.

n“From an old man in my hometown.”

nFang Qiu did not tell the truth, which was very shocking if he told. And it was his big secret.

nShen Chun obviously believed Fang Qiu’s words and sighed with emotion, “There are talents in the folk!”

nAfter that, he smiled and asked, “I’m wondering if you have the interest to go to the hospital’s Orthopedics Department for an internship?”

n“Internship?”

nFang Qiu muttered to himself for a moment and asked, “Is there any salary?”

nShen Chun, “…”

nHe had never expected that the student was so direct. He thought Fang Qiu would make other requests.

n“For example, the class is intense.

n“For example, study pressure is heavy.

n“And for example, I don’t have time.

n“But you are asking if there is any salary???”

nShen Chun helplessly said, “Generally, there is a subsidy for a student’s internship—eight hundred yuan every month.”

nAfter he said that, he saw Fang Qiu frown, so he hurriedly said, “However, your situation is a little special. You can be invited specially. But it needs to assess you to see if you have the ability or not.”

n“OK!”

nFang Qiu agreed directly.

nThe hospital internship really tempted him because it was a great opportunity to improve his bonesetting skills.

nAnd now he was really in the red and was badly in need of money.

nAs for the assessment, he was not worried at all because of his skills.

n“Well, which day are you free?”

nShen Chun asked with a smile. He had already thought of how to assess the student’s level in the examination.

nFang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “According to the class schedule, I am free on Wednesday afternoon.”

n“OK. At 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon, let’s see on the seventh floor in the Orthopedics Department of our affiliated hospital.”

n“OK!”

nTwo people shook hands as a formal agreement. Then they gave their phone numbers to each other and separated.

nFang Qiu returned to where his class was, seeing Jiang Miaoyu had been carried away by the infirmary’s stretcher.

nHe hoped it would not affect her speech tomorrow.

nThe first round of the rehearsal ended and the second round began.

nAt night.

nIn the girls’ dormitory.

nJiang Miaoyu lay on the bed, feeling some pain from the ankle. She kind of could not fall into sleep.

nSo she picked up the phone and hesitated for a moment, finally making up a text message.

n“I have a question for you. When I was silent, I saw a dash of desolation and sadness in your eyes. Was it on purpose or was it true?”

nHer finger hung for a moment above the “send” button.

nFinally, she sighed.

nShe clicked the “delete” button.

n…

nThe next day, early in the morning, all the freshmen stood on the playground in high spirits, waiting for the final parade.

nAt half past eight in the morning, the parade began.

nFang Qiu, who was standing at the forefront of the class, saw Jiang Miaoyu slowly walking to the rostrum.

nHer pace was slow.

nBut Fang Qiu clearly perceived that she was struggling with the pain and trying to walk normally.

n“This was a hardy girl.”

nFang Qiu sighed inwardly.

n“Dear leaders, drill masters, teachers, and students: Good morning, everyone!”

nJiang Miaoyu walked to the rostrum strongly without taking any speech draft. Her sweet voice passed through the whole playground by the acoustics.

nNobody spoke and the applause burst out.

n“It is my great honor to make a speech here on behalf of the freshmen of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine… ”

nDuring the speech, the applause burst out.

nThey all greeted Jiang Miaoyu with the warmest applause.

nThree minutes later, the speech ended and then the parade began.

nOrderly square formations walked past the rostrum, one by one. When passing the rostrum, they all saluted together.

n“Come on, guys!”

nIt was Class Three’s turn soon. The drill master walked beside the square formation, correcting the students’ standing postures while whispering seriously.

n“Come on!”

nEveryone whispered, looking grave.

nThey were slightly excited and nervous.

nAt this moment, they were really like the army which was going for an expedition, solemn and respectful.

nEveryone was full of boundless passion in their hearts and held back the strength to show extraordinary talents at the upcoming moment.

n“Here comes Class Three of Chinese Medicine.”

nWith the introduction of the host, the students of Class Three walked toward the rostrum neatly under the leadership of Fang Qiu and a female student.

nHaving not arrived at the rostrum, that neat and uniform footsteps had made the ground of the rostrum shake.

nThe leaders and ephors on the rostrum all looked in surprise at the coming Class Three.

nLooking at the straight head figure whose action was powerful and vigorous and extremely standard, the ephors could not help lighting up their eyes.

n“What a bright and brave boy!

n“What a standard posture!”

nThe military officer, who stood in the corner of the stage and was brought here by a drill master previously, looked at Fang Qiu who was the head of the queue with slight surprise in his eyes, then appreciating him a lot.

nBut more attention was focused on Chen Cong who was standing in the first line.

nThis was the good candidate he found in University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.

nAs for the mysterious man, he was a little too mysterious. He still hadn’t found out who he was.

nSkimming over Fang Qiu, all the ephors and the leaders couldn’t help giving a high evaluation to the students of Class Three who had the neat and uncluttered pace as well as the indomitable momentum.

nWhen they walked close to the rostrum, Fang Qiu sank his breath to his lower belly and solemnly shouted, “Goose-step ~ Go!”

nSwish!

nThe whole Class Three changed their step together into a goose-step.

n“Pah!” “Pah!”

nThe unified landing sound.

nTheir regularity and straightness were even better than that of the army!

n“Good!”

nThe discerning ephors on the stage praised.

nThe other classes were also shocked by Class Three’s regularity and formation.

nUsually, they didn’t show off, but they became serious in the parade.

n“Salute!”

nFang Qiu commanded loudly.

nSwish!

nAll of them turned their heads to the right and raised their right hands beside the eyebrows, performing a standard salute.

n“Pah Pah Pah Pah~”

nThe leaders and ephors on the rostrum couldn’t help applauding.

nIt was their first time to applaud today.

nAnd it was spontaneous.

nThey did not applaud for that many classes before. It was the first and probably the last time today.

nThey thought there couldn’t be a better class than this class.

nThe leaders in the university remembered the head Fang Qiu while the ephors remembered this drill master in the military training because he trained well.

n“Ceremony completed!”

nAs they just passed the rostrum, Fang Qiu shouted full of power.

nAll the students in Class Three put down their right hands and changed goose-step to quick march instantly.

nAs they walked slowly away from the rostrum, their parade was over. Their ten-day military training was also officially over while their college life was about to begin.

nOther classes’ parade continued. All the classes that finished the parade stood on the rostrum, quietly watching.

nAt half past ten in the morning, the parade ended.

nThe “Model Company” awards started to be issued. Class Three, where Fang Qiu was in, became the only name to be announced and they deserved it.

nDuring the whole parade, the only applause from the leaders and ephors was given to Class Three.

nThe drill master of Class Three accepted the award excitedly on the stage. The students of Class Three below burst out the most enthusiastic applause and shouted loudly, “Good”!

nThe remaining was eight “Good Company”.

nDuring the whole parade, it could be said that only Class Three made a hit.

nBut other classes had no choice but to be convinced when they compared the shapes of their square formations with that of Class Three.

nThe difference was obvious at a glance.

nThey were convinced, totally convinced.

nAfter issuing the awards, when a university leader was going to announce the end of the parade, suddenly a staff hurriedly ran to the rostrum. He was about to report something in a low voice to Vice President in the middle of the rostrum.

nUnexpectedly, the microphone was on in front of the Vice President.

n“President, this is awful!”

nXiao Chen said anxiously, “There is a junior female student wanting to jump off the building to commit suicide. She is on the teaching building. Please go to see it!”

nHe said as he pointed to the teaching building near the playground.

nHe made a blunder.

nAll those present heard it and everyone was in an uproar.

n“Someone wants to commit suicide?!”

nAll the people looked at the teaching building outside the playground. It seemed that they really saw a figure on the roof of the building. And many people gathered downstairs.

n“What?!”

nVice President was so stunned that he jumped to his feet directly. He covered the microphone and asked hurriedly, “What’s going on?”

n“I don’t know clearly. She seems to suicide for love. Please go to see it quickly,” said the staff hastily.

nThe others did not hear, but Fang Qiu heard clearly.

n“Alas!

n“Suicide for love?

n“Why!”

nVice President even didn’t have time to announce that the parade was over. He directly ran to the teaching building in a hurry.

n“This new semester just starts, but there is a student going to commit suicide.

n“How immature the children are now. Don’t they think of their parents?”

nOther leaders followed closely.

nSeveral ephors, the military officers offstage, and the drill masters all ran towards the teaching building, ready to help.

nThe freshmen who were still standing on the playground looked at each other and then all ran towards the teaching building outside the playground.

nFang Qiu also lost no time running to the teaching building.

nHe ran faster and lost no time coming downstairs. As soon as he arrived, he heard the discussion from the people around.

n“What’s the matter? How could anyone commit suicide?”

n“I heard it was a couple. The boy is a junior and the girl is a sophomore. But the boy cheated on her even from the beginning of their love affair. The girl can’t bear it after hearing that, so she wanted to commit suicide.”

n“That boy is really a scumbag, but the girl also can’t take things too hard. No one can avoid a scumbag!”

n“I don’t know. Maybe there are some inside stories.”

nFang Qiu frowned and looked up to the roof.

nOn the roof, the girl was now sitting on the opposite corner of the two walls, holding her head and crying.

nHe calmly looked up and down the teaching building.

nThe teaching building had only five floors, which was not very high. But if a girl really wanted to die, she would surely die if she jumped down head over heels.

n“All step aside! Step aside!”

nVice President who was hurriedly running headmost spared no effort to push his way through the crowd.

nThe students all gave way to the Vice President when they saw he was coming.

nThe young military officer and the drill masters all arrived. They immediately observed the situation around them and began to discuss how to save her.

nSoon, the young military officer went to Vice President who was learning about the situation and said in a low voice, “Hello, President, please call 119 and 120. Maybe they can’t rush over in a short time, so we should first arrange the students to get enough quilts. We need to make a protective mat by ourselves.”

n“OK! No problem.”

nKnowing the urgency of the matter, the Vice President immediately arranged students to get quilts.

nThe young military officer looked up at the girl and said, “Besides, try your best to calm her down. She is suffering from violent mood swings. Try not to irritate her. You keep talking to her to distract her attention. Of course, it would be better to convince her not to commit suicide.”

n“Now my guys and I are going to prepare some ropes and stuff. Then I will go up and slowly approach her from behind to pull her back. It needs your cooperation to distract her attention by all means.”

n“Of course, if she finds us, I’ll try to hold her back and convince her. We should wait until 119 comes here or we get enough quilts at worst.”

nVice President asked at once.”Do you have confidence?”

nThe military officer nodded his head firmly and said, “As long as you distract her attention, I will have confidence. I’ve just found and saw the photos of the roof. I know what to do.”

n“This child must be saved, please!”

nVice President said sincerely.

nThe young military officer nodded his head seriously. He took off his service uniform at once and loosened his collar and buttons, setting out to prepare.

n
