Chapter 312: [312] This student calls teachers “wow”. Chapter 312: [312] This student calls teachers “wow”. The wipers swept back and forth across the windshield as the wind scattered the rain across the city streets. On this holiday, free from work, many people came out to play despite the rain. The hustle and bustle of the Capital’s main roads never ceased.
Outside, there was liveliness; inside, there was silence.
Swish, swish, swish–all that could be heard was the sound of the wipers.
Cao Yong was contemplating what to say.
On the other hand, Xie Wanying had noted that Senior Cao was an experienced driver, so there was no need to worry about him turning to look at the rain.
Suddenly, beep, beep, Xie Wanying took her phone out of her crossbody bag and pressed it to her ear.
“Student Xiao Xie, where are you?” Teacher Sun Yubo’s voice came through from the other side.
“Teacher Sun, are you looking for me? I’m on leave today and not in the dorm.”
“I’m going to my high school teacher’s house to pick up some materials.”
“Materials for German class.”
As soon as she finished speaking, both Teacher Sun Yubo on the phone and Cao Yong beside her felt a “wow” of surprise in their hearts.
“German?! You’re learning German?” Teacher Sun could hardly believe his ears.
“Since I’ve already studied English and Japanese and have some time, I thought I might as well learn another language to speed up my learning in the future.”
Germany’s medical technology was very advanced, so of course, she had to learn German. As for English and Japanese, she had majored in these two languages before her rebirth, so they were not a problem for her after being reborn. She had already re-learned them and passed the proficiency tests. Now, with the spare time, it was definitely time to study German. The problem was, German teachers were hard to find; even if the medical school offered minor foreign language subjects, it only offered Japanese courses. Fortunately, Teacher Zhuang had helped her find a solution by securing her enrollment in a professional course at the Capital Foreign Language School.
After listening to her explanation, Teacher Sun Yubo stared at his phone in disbelief. Next to him, Liu Chengran, hearing the conversation, and Tan Kelin, with his aloof eyebrows beneath his long fringe, suddenly furrowed his brows.
“She’s simply–” Teacher Sun found the words to express his amazement, “study-crazy! A study maniac.”
Liu Chengran covered his mouth to stifle a laugh.
“She’s not fazed at all. I thought she’d be in her dorm crying her eyes out today,” Teacher Sun exclaimed, his mouth agape with surprise.
It turned out that their arduous planning from the day before hadn’t caused her any instability. She was going on about her plans to study German as usual. Sitting in his chair, Tan Kelin rested his left hand against his forehead: All their efforts had been in vain.
“She’s the type to become more courageous after setbacks. No wonder her counselor describes her as a ‘female King Kong.'” Teacher Sun raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, “She’s not like any girl I’ve seen. I’ve never met a girl like her.”
Liu Chengran, trying not to incite Tan Kelin’s ire, asked quietly, “Do we still need to call her back?”
That weekend, their team planned to return to the hospital to sort research materials, and they considered calling her in. Having scolded her the day before, a few of the teachers were a bit concerned and wanted to see how she was doing.
But she was going to study German. Besides, none of the teachers spoke German.
Was this setback supposed to be for the students, or for the teachers themselves?
“Does anyone in our hospital speak German?” Teacher Sun asked.
Liu Chengran shook his head: “I haven’t heard of anyone who does.”
“Oh well, if she becomes proficient in German, the hospital will want to keep her, whether they like it or not,” Teacher Sun said, corners of his mouth turning up. Seemingly, a scholarly prodigy like Xie Wanying is indispensable to an institution.
Having said that, Teacher Sun Yubo and Liu Chengran glanced at the person on the other side. Tan Kelin’s left hand remained propped against his temple as if he had become mired in a quandary with no way to extricate himself.
This student had been causing havoc in his team from her very first day, and it seemed she was perpetually overturning plans. He was almost at his wit’s end.
