“Why do you trust me so much, Professor Yang Ning?” Xia Wan inquired.
“Many people believe that Chinese medicine should be practiced by older individuals,” Professor Yang Ning replied with a serene smile.
“You, at such a young age, have designed a school uniform with a national style. Why can’t you possess exceptional medical skills?
“When I was in school, there were numerous prodigies in our class. At the same age, their knowledge far surpassed ours.
“Later, during my overseas studies, I encountered people who were incredibly accomplished at a young age. Some had the creativity to forge ahead, others possessed the vision to lead, and a few seemed to foresee the future.
“Eventually, I grasped that there would always be individuals in this world whose abilities I couldn’t match, regardless of my efforts. Since then, I’ve reminded myself not to become conceited or complacent, no matter what accomplishments I achieve.”
Xia Wan was deeply impressed by Professor Yang Ning’s humble attitude.
She admired Professor Yang Ning’s ability to stay true to her core values despite reaching such a high societal standing.
‘You both can stay at my house tonight,” Professor Yang Ning suggested. “I’ll request leave from the school and take you home with me.”
“Alright, Professor, we appreciate your hospitality,” Xia Wan replied.
She could sense Professor Yang Ning’s strong desire to treat her condition. At 40 years old, every passing day made it more challenging for her to conceive.
In addition to curing Professor Yang Ning’s illness, Xia Wan planned to prepare medicinal dishes to bolster her overall health. Premature pregnancy could potentially harm her body, but Xia Wan decided not to mention this concern to her yet.
After dinner, Professor Yang Ning received a phone call that left her visibly distressed.
“Teacher, is something wrong?” Xia Wan inquired.
Putting down her phone, Professor Yang Ning sighed. “I don’t have any children of my own. My nephew often stays at my place, but he’s not a well-behaved young man and often gets into trouble.
“He just called me, informing me that he got into a fight with someone. He’s currently at the police station and asked me to come and get him.
“Furthermore, based on what he told me, it seems he may have angered someone influential this time. I’m afraid this issue can’t be peacefully resolved.”
“Then we’ll accompany you,” Xia Wan insisted.
However, Professor Yang Ning shook her head. “This isn’t your concern. Don’t get involved in this mess. I’ll go on my own.”
Xia Wan persisted, “Teacher, I often research legal topics online. Let me accompany you. Perhaps I can be of assistance.”
Zhou En chimed in, “Yes, Teacher. We should go with you. You’ve been a great help to me during my studies. It’s only right that we help you in return when your nephew is in trouble.
“Even if we can’t do much, we can provide support.”
Professor Yang Ning felt a warmth in her heart. She believed that these two were truly admirable individuals.
Regrettably, her nephew was far from obedient and well-behaved. If he were, she might have considered having a child of her own.
Seeing their unwavering determination, Professor Yang Ning relented. She hailed a taxi, and the three of them rushed to the police station.
Upon arrival, they explained the situation, and the police directed them to the back.
In the corridor, two groups of young men were squatting on either side. They bore injuries on their faces, and their clothing was in disarray, indicating they had been in a heated brawl.
One boy, around 16 or 17 years old, sprang up excitedly and shouted upon spotting Professor Yang Ning, “Auntie, I’m here!”
Professor Yang Ning swiftly seized his ear and admonished, “How many times have I told you not to cause trouble? Now, you’re even creating a ruckus at the police station.”
The boy, wincing from the ear-pulling, pleaded, “Auntie, it really wasn’t me causing trouble this time. We were singing in the KTV room, and they barged in and forcefully took over our room.
“Auntie, there’s a ‘first-come, first-served’ principle for everything. We had already booked the private room in advance, and my friends have been here for half an hour..”
