Han Qingxuan’s footsteps halted.
He turned around and gave Su Niannian a glance, his voice softened slightly, "You wait here first, the person bringing you will arrive shortly."
This statement struck her like a bolt from the blue, completely dumbfounding Su Niannian.
Her mind went blank for a moment before she uttered in a daze, "Isn’t it... you taking me?"
Han Qingxuan shook his head, "I was only responsible for getting you in on her behalf."
Hearing Han Qingxuan’s words, the light in Su Niannian’s eyes completely faded.
This morning, she thought she had genuinely caught the attention of top-notch doctors like Professor Han; during lunch, she couldn’t control her excitement as she shared with Mrs. Su incessantly, much to the annoyance of Mrs. Su.
But in the end... this surprise turned out to be merely a limited-time experience card...
Su Niannian couldn’t define her feelings, she just let out a dispirited "oh," shrunk into a corner, and stopped talking.
It was indeed her overestimation of herself, with her average abilities hoping to win the favor of a top figure in the medical field.
Since the place was crowded, Han Qingxuan didn’t say much, only instructed Su Niannian to wait patiently, and then turned to leave.
Chi Yan and Su Qing followed behind him.
Chi Yan kept her head lowered but couldn’t help the slight curl of her lips, her gloomy mood from the morning instantly improved.
She said to herself, how could Professor Han possibly take an interest in someone with mediocre qualifications like Su Niannian, or even give her special attention?
Now it seems, Professor Han’s previous amiable demeanor toward Su Niannian was entirely because she wasn’t his student, and there was no need to be strict.
And the fact that Professor Han spoke to her and Su Qing without mincing words just proves that he truly saw the two of them as his students, which is why he was so severe.
Once everyone had left, Su Niannian couldn’t resist wiping her eyes.
It wasn’t that she had to be chosen by Professor Han, but from yesterday to this morning, he gave her so much surprise and anticipation, only to declare it all a misunderstanding in the end?
This tremendous blow made Su Niannian unable to hold back her tears.
But she also knew that it wasn’t Professor Han’s fault, after all, he never said he would take her in; all of it was her own wishful thinking. Original content can be found at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
As Su Niannian was feeling sad, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Mrs. Su calling.
Mrs. Su’s voice was as gentle and graceful as ever, "Nian Nian, how did it go? What task did Professor Han arrange for you?"
Su Niannian bit her lip hard, then replied with a seemingly cheerful tone, "Nothing. Mom, I got it wrong before, it was someone else who admitted me, not Professor Han. I’m waiting for my professor to come over now!"
"Not Professor Han?" Mrs. Su sounded surprised, "Then who is it?"
"I’m not sure... Professor Han didn’t say, he just asked me to wait here..." Su Niannian said softly.
Mrs. Su immediately felt a surge of pity.
Even though she wasn’t at the scene, she could imagine the loneliness of her daughter standing alone in the room.
Thinking back to Su Niannian’s excitement after learning she was accepted by Professor Han, chatting non-stop in front of her, Mrs. Su spoke with a heavy heart, "Nian Nian, you don’t have to force yourself, if you don’t like it, just come back! Let’s go back to Nancheng!"
"How could that be?" Su Niannian, her eyes red, trying her best not to let the tears fall, smiled and responded, "To be able to enter Kyoto City Hospital is enough for me to be satisfied. Many students wish to get in but can’t! Besides, what if a miracle happens, and the person who takes me on as a student turns out to be more impressive than Professor Han?"
