Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei found out about the Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM Club, which offered many courses – Tui Na massage, bone setting, acupoint simulation, Gua Sha, cupping, moxibustion, TCM consultation and chronic disease management, so on and so forth. It was like they were running a wellness center.

However, the students here did not only study wellness, but also used TCM skills for scientific research.

Many Chinese medicine graduate students had written papers for the club and published them in world-famous scientific research magazines.

Therefore, there were stringent requirements for one to join the club. One must obtain the approval of the club president or a recommendation from Professor Chen.

After Tang Beibei studied the ins and outs, she wanted to approach Professor Chen for a recommendation. It would be best if he could help.

When she arrived at the office, she saw that Professor Chen was there. She quickly cleaned the office and walked up to Professor Chen. Just as she was about to say something, Professor Chen pointed at a pile of books.

“Take those books with you. Finish reading them in a month.”

“… Huh?”

Tang Beibei looked at the seven or eight thick books. They were all medical books, not storybooks with plots and emotions. She felt tremendous pressure that she had to finish reading all of them in a month.

“Not happy?”

“No, I’m happy to!”

Tang Beibei swallowed hard. She didn’t dare to disobey Professor Chen.

“Once you take the books, study them seriously. If you can’t finish reading, I’ll dock your part-time pay this month.”

“… No, I will finish reading them!”

Tang Beibei could deal with most punishments except docking her pay.

Professor Chen snorted coldly, obviously still doubting her. Tang Beibei sat in his office and started reading the books, but she was still very anxious.

After a while, Song Kai came into Professor Chen’s office and said that the TCM club had produced some research data and two papers.

Tang Beibei’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard that it was about the club. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

It turned out that Song Kai was the club’s president!

The way she looked at Song Kai immediately changed.

Song Kai noticed the woman’s gaze and coughed lightly. He felt a little awkward.

This was the first time she stared at him with a burning gaze. He didn’t know what to do.

However, he couldn’t show his emotions in front of Professor Chen. He just listened intently to Professor Chen’s suggestions and left with some documents.

Tang Beibei was disappointed when she saw him leave. She checked the time and wished that time would pass quickly.

“What are you looking at? Do you like Song Kai?”

“All, no, that’s not it.” Tang Beibei waved her hand quickly. “Professor Chen, please don’t misunderstand.”

Professor Chen then said, “I have no problem with you young people dating.

You don’t have to hide in front of me.”

Judging by the way Song Kai looked at her just now, it was obvious that he had feelings for her.

“No, I’m not hiding anything. Professor Chen, 1…” Tang Beibei was a little embarrassed and wondered if she should tell Professor Chen that she was married.

However, before she could continue, Professor Chen said, “I don’t care what you do. You have to finish reading these books. If you are busy dating instead of studying, you’ll be wasting time!”

“Oh, 1 will read them.” Tang Beibei quickly lowered her head.

Professor Chen couldn’t help but smile secretly. He was in no mood to watch young people show off their love.

Professor Chen had been there. He could tell that both Lu Fan and Song Kai had feelings for this girl. Lu Fan and Song Kai could be considered the elites of their generation.

But this girl was more simple-minded and quite dense when it came to sensing admiration. It was hard to tell who between the two men would end up with the girl.

After her shift ended, Tang Beibei quickly packed her things and went to find Song Kai. She saw a tall man standing by the window at the end of the corridor, looking sunny under the sunlight.

She quickened her pace and walked towards him.

“Senior Song Kai, 1 have something I need your help with.”

Song Kai looked at the girl who was smiling brightly. Her bright smile seemed even warmer under the sunlight.

“What is it?”

“I would like to join the TCM club to learn some skills.”

“You will have TCM classes in your third year. There’s no rush to study ahead.” Tang Beibei explained, “I’m learning it to help my husband with his treatment.” “…” Song Kai felt his ears hurt when Tang Beibei mentioned Jiang Jingchen. “Senior Song Kai, please help me. 1 will work very hard. Why don’t 1 become your errand girl or something?” Tang Beibei put her palms together and begged.

Song Kai was helpless. It was rare for her to ask him for help again, so how could he refuse?

“Alright, the club has an event in the afternoon. You can go.”

“Alright, thank you, Senior Song Kai!” Tang Beibei gave Song Kai a 90-degree bow.

“… Beibei, you are welcome.”

Song Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Her bow was too sincere, making him feel even worse.

He was already unhappy that Tang Beibei wanted to learn TCM to help Jiang Jingchen with his treatment.

The corners of his mouth curled into a sarcastic smile. Make Jiang Jingchen better?

Erm, he could only apologize for making Jiang Jingchen suffer forever!

Song Kai took Tang Beibei’s bag. “It’s so heavy. Are you carrying bricks in your school bag?”

“Sigh. Senior Song Kai, you don’t have to help me with that. 1 can carry it myself. It’s all the books Professor Chen asked me to read.”

Song Kai was unhappy. “So many. Professor Chen is torturing you, yeah?” “Hehe, I don’t think so. Although it’s hard work, I’m sure 1’11 learn a lot.” Tang Beibei comforted herself. Otherwise, she would cry whenever she saw those books.

Really, so much reading, so much!

The two of them went to the TCM clubroom. Song Kai introduced her to a few members of the club. Tang Beibei was in awe. All of them were top students with honors. There were also a few young doctors who were already working in hospitals!

Song Kai asked her what she wanted to learn, and Tang Beibei told her about Jiang Jingchen’s condition and asked if there was any way to better assist in his treatment.

Song Kai recommended acupoint stimulation. Stimulating a few important acupoints, combined with herbal hot compress, could work well.

Tang Beibei felt that she could give this method a try. She immediately brought over an acupoint chart and asked Song Kai to explain it to her.

She listened attentively and even took notes, so she didn’t see the coldness and cruelty in Song Kai’s eyes.

After a lesson, Song Kai handed her a box of essential oils and told her that she had to practice.

Tang Beibei nodded seriously. She would definitely practice on her husband.

She then left with her heavy school bag.

In the clubroom, a boy walked up to Song Kai and asked softly, “President Song Kai, there seems to be something wrong with the acupoints you mentioned just now. If we can’t zoom in accurately on the right acupoints, the treatment won’t be effective. It might even make the patient feel uncomfortable.”

Song Kai narrowed his cold eyes and stared at the man who spoke. He replied with a smile, “How can that be? I’ve designed the treatment according to the patient’s condition.”

“Oh, 1 see. But that girl is really good-looking. She’s even prettier when she smiles. Is she your girlfriend?”

Song Kai’s eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up. “Yes.”

Not now, but in the future!

Tang Beibei arrived home, put down her heavy schoolbag and rubbed her shoulders. She turned around and saw Jiang Jingchen, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

“Hubby, I’m home.”

Jiang Jingchen smiled back. “Yes, my Beibei is home.”

Tang Beibei stared at him. There was a saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. She finally understood what it felt like.

She smiled as she cupped his face and kissed his lips.

“Hubby, I have a surprise for you tonight!”
