Gu Chaoyan had not expected that the teacher would turn to her. She had offered her pills, so the drugged girl should be on the way to recovery as long as she was given some more supplementary nutrients, which should be available at Saint College.
She did not know much about Liu Hanxiang, so he did not have to turn to her for the investigation.
Gu Chaoyan looked confused. She even wondered whether it was because of her sister Gu Ruxue, who had been investigated.
Gu Chaoyan looked even colder as she thought about this.
The teacher, on the other hand, showed an honest smile. He could not walk into the room that belonged to a girl. So he pointed at an empty place not far away and said, “I need to ask you something.”
Gu Chaoyan had no choice but to follow him. He was a teacher of the Medical Department. He might even be her future teacher after all.
Unassured, Sword One kept a tight pace with her.
The teacher glanced about and whispered as she saw no one else was within sight. “Do you have any more pills? Could you give some to me?”
Gu Chaoyan’s lip corner twitched. She suddenly felt distress dominating her. She had been prepared for all kinds of possibilities for this small, secretive talk except for this one. Gu Chaoyan had no idea how to face this situation, when what the teacher needed of her was nothing more than her pills.
Gu Chaoyan was silent for a while. Then the teacher explained quickly. “The pills are so important for the Medical Department. Sometimes when we need to save someone, what we need is pills like this. If you make the pills yourself, we can unconditionally provide you materials to continue with the manufacturing. That is to say, you can get accepted to our Medical Department directly, as long as you offer us some of your pills.”
“Don’t worry, I am the Dean, I make the decision.” The elderly man sounded proud as he mentioned who he was.
Gu Chaoyan was surprised. She looked at this Officer Dean.
She did not mind getting accepted so easily, but she was still confused. “It won’t cause any suspicion among others?”
Dean Zhang shook his head and said confidently, “No one would dare to suspect you, if we accept you of our own accord. No one else is able to make pills like this, is there?”
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and nodded.
Then she took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeves and passed it to Officer Dean. “These are the only available ones right now. Please take them.”
As he got the pills the Dean got so excited that he opened the lid and took a sniff. The light scent of herbs went into his nose, making him totally satisfied.
Then he told Gu Chaoyan what the Medical Department would normally do when it came to exceptional acceptance, before leaving in great joy.
Gu Chaoyan stood in total composure as she watched him cheerfully hopping away.
In the days that followed, Gu Chaoyan did not need to prepare for any examination. So she and Sword One took the opportunity of taking a tour around Saint College. She liked this place. It felt like home when she was here. However, they, who could never draw any attention in the past, were now the focus.
People kept sizing up Gu Chaoyan and then whispered something between each other. Gu Chaoyan found the whole thing weird.
She had no choice but to ask Sword One to stop someone and ask what was going on.
