Jiahui said with a straight face, "That's why we have to treat Song Ning better. She's our treasure."
Even the professor could not help but say, "This group of yours is really rare. There's no such thing as scheming against each other and undermining each other. I don't have to worry about any of you at all. Everyone's just focused on studying. This is really nice."
Jiahui said, "It's all because of Song Ning. Her aura is so strong that all of us unconsciously follow her lead."
Song Ning continued typing on the keyboard as she said without lifting her head, "Jiahui, did you have honey for breakfast today?"
Everyone laughed upon hearing Song Ning's words.
Jiahui stood up and playfully hit Song Ning as she stifled her laughter and said. "You're really heartless! I was praising you!"
At this moment, Song Ning's phone suddenly started ringing. When she saw the caller, she was briefly stunned. It was Fu Le.
After picking up the phone, Fu Le hemmed and hawed as he asked to meet her. She calmly replied to him, agreeing to his request.
After the call disconnected, she organized her notes and sent them to everyone in the group. It was only after she had completed her tasks that she asked the professor for a leave of absence.
The professor waved his hand, letting her have the afternoon off.
When Jiahui asked her to bring her along, she deliberately sped and ran away, causing the others to laugh at Jiahui.
…
Song Ning had agreed to meet Fu Le at the common area on the third floor. This would be the first time she had seen him since they had broken up.
Song Ning put her hands in the pockets of her white coat as she slowly strode over. She had no feelings for Fu Le; she did not know him at all. She did not know what his favorite food was or his hobbies; she never tried to understand him at all. Mu Chen was right; she never loved him. Therefore, she did not see Fu Le's action as an act of betrayal. With this thought in mind, she grew even calmer.
If she and Fu Le got married, she knew she would not change as well. Fu Le would just be like a tool, occupying the position of her husband. It was inevitable that he would betray her sooner or later.
Their mothers' wishes were not enough for them to love each other. They were only together because they listened to their mothers, not because they loved each other.
As a man, Fu Le's sense of responsibility was not very strong. Everything had been handed to him on a silver platter since he was born. He did not encounter any difficulties or setbacks; everything was neatly arranged for him by his family. Perhaps, someone like Feng Man would be able to help Fu Le grow as a man.
When Song Ning finally arrived in front of Fu Le, she faced him calmly.
Fu Le was slightly taken aback. He had prepared himself for a barrage of questions from her, after all. How could he not be surprised by her composure? However, after a moment, he thought it was to be expected. Song Ning was not like Feng Man; Song Ning was like a pool of still lukewarm water.
Song Ning calmly asked, "Is there a reason you're looking for me?"
Fu Le's eyes flashed. He wanted to speak, but he did not know what to say.
Song Ning said, "I know about you and Feng Man. I wish you both the best. I know you're not here to explain this matter to me so if there's anything, you can just tell me."
If Fu Le wanted to explain, he would have done so a long time ago. Why would he suddenly look for her after such a long time had passed just to explain things to her? Moreover, she was familiar with the way Fu Le handled things.
Fu Le sighed in relief before he said, "Ningning, Grandma is not feeling well. I'd like to invite you over to the house to take a look at her."
"Where is she feeling unwell? Why didn't you bring her to the hospital for a check-up?" Song Ning asked.
Fu Le answered truthfully, "Grandma insisted it's nothing serious so she refuses to go to the hospital. If it's okay, can you come over and have a look?"
Song Ning was puzzled. Fu Le's grandmother was nowhere near as kind and amiable as Mu Chen's grandmother. In fact, his grandmother had always hoped Fu Le would marry a young miss from a wealthy family instead of marrying someone from a common family like her. Moreover, in his grandmother's eyes, she was a doctor who would be in contact with people from all walks of life every day, hence, she was not noble at all.
Feng Man had said Fu Le's grandmother liked her very much. Moreover, Song Ning had already broken up with Fu Le. She could not figure out why his grandmother would want her to go over to have a look instead of going to the hospital.
"Are you free now? Let's go now," Fu Le said.
Song Ning calmly took a step back before she said, "I have a class in the afternoon so I can't leave. Moreover, my skills are limited. It's best for you to bring your grandmother to the hospital for a check-up."
Fu Le opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something before he stopped himself.
Song Ning continued to say, "Let me know if you need me to introduce you to an expert. I can help you make an appointment."
After she finished speaking, Song Ning did not wait for his reply before she turned to leave.
However, Fu Le stopped her. "Song Ning, Grandma and Dad want you to come over to discuss our matters."
Song Ning slowly turned around, alarm bells ringing in her heart.
"Our matters? What matters do we have?"
Fu Le stammered, "M-my… M-my dad hopes that we can get married."
Song Ning looked at Fu Le, stunned. "What about Feng Man?"
