"Professor Yu is already over seventy years old, and he only occasionally lectures at the school. I never expected him to launch a new project."
The launch of this project actually shook the students and faculty at the Medical University quite a bit.
Even now, Du An could remember the surprise on his own mentor, Professor Lin’s face when he heard the news; clearly, he hadn’t been aware of the details beforehand.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengfeng nodded with a few traces of a satisfied smile on his face.
This son-in-law was indeed someone Qianyu valued, and he was becoming more capable by the day.
"Eat more, Aunt Zhang, go to the cellar and fetch a few bottles of fine wine to celebrate."
The already overjoyed Aunt Zhang immediately burst into smiles at this request, "Alright, I’m on it!"
Xu Qianyu, who had been silently looking down, couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile upon hearing this.
"I know you drove here today, have your driver take you back later."
"Alright, as you say."
While Aunt Zhang was off to the cellar, Lin Yunlan went to the kitchen and brought out a few wine glasses, and even poured a glass of orange juice for the underage Xu Qianyun.
This action sparked his protest.
"You’re still too young; you’ll have to wait a few more years."
Dissatisfied, Xu Qianyun mumbled, "Sister Tang Shu wouldn’t mind my being young."
As the youngest in the family, everyone always treated him as a child, but Tang Shu was different. Although they had only met two or three times, he could distinctly feel that her attitude was different.
Tang Shu treated him as an equal.
This comment was very soft, yet everyone in the Xu family heard it.
Xu Qianyu couldn’t resist frowning but didn’t say anything; Du An, on the other hand, was surprised by Xu Qianyun’s protest and glanced at him, observing the others out of the corner of his eye.
The Xu family’s head, Xu Chengfeng, turned to his wife, "I remember Xiao Shu is also attending the Medical University, isn’t she?"
"Yes, she is studying traditional Chinese medicine."
"That’s quite a coincidence; she’s Ah An’s proper junior sister. I wonder how her grades are, can she keep up?"
Lin Yunlan was at a loss; she really didn’t know.
Whenever she saw her daughter, apart from worrying about whether she had lost weight, she would ask if she had been wronged in the entertainment industry, but she had never inquired about her studies.
She suddenly began to reflect on whether she was indeed a qualified mother.
However, what she didn’t know, Du An did.
"Junior Sister Tang’s grades are very good; she even ranked first in the mid-term exams, and I believe she will also be at the top for the final exams."
Whether in the dormitory or in various classmates’ WeChat groups, what he heard and saw the most were updates about Tang Shu.
Beautiful things always captivate and attract, even among the academic elites of the Medical University.
Du An hadn’t paid much attention at first, but after seeing her in person once at the English Corner, he started to understand his classmates’ keen interest in this junior sister.
She indeed possessed an appealing charisma.
Xu Qianyu, who was in the middle of a meal, never expected her fiancé to respond in such a manner and was stunned for a moment.
"She... isn’t she a celebrity, yet her academic performance can still keep up?"
Du An was silent for a moment and answered conservatively, "The professional courses in the freshman year are not many, and they’re quite basic."
He knew this junior sister often took leave, and she wasn’t seen at school as frequently. If she wanted to maintain her position as first in her grade, it would undoubtedly be very challenging.
And he, for one, did not think she was so talented that she could excel at two professions and still be at the top of her class.
