nChapter 80 – Admitting Defeat (認輸)

nCompared to the first test, this second test was much easier for Gan Jinchen and Su Chu. However, Gan Songbai purposely increased the difficulty, so test sheet contained a hundred uncommonly seen herbs to let those two squeeze their brain juices dry.

nBut when the two had only completed half of the paper, they saw Jing Yunzhao place down her pen and passed the test back to Gan Songbai.

nGan Jinchen was dumbstruck. She finished again?

nIt can’t be that she couldn’t take it anymore and submitted a blank answer sheet?

nThinking that, he calmed down a little and continued his test. He finally finished after half an hour, but Gan Songbai had already finished correcting Jing Yunzhao’s paper by then. He could only see her words written nicely and neatly. Grandpa Gan didn’t leave any marks on Jing Yunzhao’s paper but instead gave her a hundred mark on her own score paper.

nGan Jinchen’s eyeballs were almost close to falling out. He immediately grabbed Jing Yunzhao’s paper. The contents written on it were very clear.

n

n

n“H-how did you answer them? These herbs are all uncommon…” Gan Jinchen didn’t care about his face (pride) and asked with a surprised expression.

nJing Yunzhao shrugged, “Studied it before.”

nShe had the space as a cheating method. Time was five times slower than the outside in there. She usually spent her nights resting in the space. One night outside was the equivalent of spending two days in there. Even though it didn’t seem like a long time, as long as she tried hard to memorize things, her efficiency would be higher than most with it.

nJing Yunzhao’s handwriting was refined and handsome. Her words were sharply written, elegant, and didn’t lose its firmness. It looked pleasant.

n

n

nIn her past life, her handwriting wasn’t as good as it was now. After she had quit school, however, she didn’t have anything else to do when she came back home at nights. She would then secretly practice her penmanship to alleviate her heart’s displeasures. And during the time she was jailed, she spent most of her time and focus on her handwriting. Because of that, her writing gives off a little feeling of wildness. It’s a natural result of her own habits.

nIf Gan Jinchen had been reluctant before, then right now he was already depressed.

nHe had been studying medicine since he was young, yet he was still a dabbler. To think he was incomparable to Jing Yunzhao…

n“Grandpa, you don’t have to test us anymore. I admit defeat!” After saying that, he got up and returned to his room, closing the door with a loud ‘bang!’.

n“This kid really has an attitude!” Gan Songbai twisted his mustache

/beard. He might have said that, but he was feeling more refreshed than ever. “Yunzhao girl, come with Grandpa for a patient visit this Sunday. Foundations are important, but experience is even more so. You’re still young and should learn whenever you can. Your abilities will be able to grow because of this.”

n“I understand, Grandpa,” Jing Yunzhao was extremely cooperative.

n

n

nShe had a strong interest in the study of medicine. Grandpa was giving her a chance, so naturally, she has to treasure it.

nThe goal of the test this time was to shock his own grandson, to not let him get too conceited. After his goal was met, he let Gan Jinchen be after preaching a few words to him.

nOn that same night, Gan Jinchen had trouble sleeping. Thinking about his degrading attitude towards Jing Yunzhao, he felt his face burn, it was slightly painful. He couldn’t understand what this feeling was.

nAnd that Biaomei Su Chu was even more exaggerated. She pretty much upgraded Jing Yunzhao up to an idol position.

nWhen she opened the door in the morning, Jing Yunzhao found the Gan Jinchen who would usually leave early doing things slowly. His eyes, as usual, seemed as if he didn’t acknowledge her, but his expression was bit strange.

n“Um, let’s go to school together. We can check each other’s homework on the way,” said Gan Jinchen as he thickened his skin. His expression was full of pride and his eyes were looking elsewhere. He looked as if he was granting her a favor.

nJing Yunzhao’s mouth twitched. She was ranked number one of the entire school. Her completed homework assignments were comparable to the textbooks themselves. Teachers usually didn’t spend too long on correcting her work and would often use her work as examples in class. Does it really need to be checked?

nBut since this brat had already said it, Jing Yunzhao decided to give him face and answered, “Okay.”

n

n

nAt this moment, Gan Jinchen didn’t know that he had asked for abuse 1 again.

n1 (找虐 is a slang and translates to “asking

/looking for abuse” which means placing yourself (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) in an unfavorable situation where others can easily bash on you.)
