138 Blue Mountain Academy
Luo Jin’an was at a loss for words.
Su Binglan noticed this and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
Luo Jin’an could only sigh and follow his wife to Blue Mountain Academy.
The academy was toward the north of Tenghe Town, so it was not too far from their shop. It was only a ten-minute walk.
Su Binglan had prepared some gifts to show her sincerity to Blue Mountain Academy, so her husband, Su Xuexuan, and Su Xuehai could get in without complications.
Her gifts included desserts in a flower basket, salted and preserved duck eggs in an exquisite wooden box, and other food items.
As usual, Luo Jin’an did not say much along the way. Su Binglan looked at him and asked, “Do you have any questions?”
After some silence, Luo Jin’an asked, “Where and how did you learn your medical skills?”
Su Binglan answered naturally, “Believe it or not, I learned them in a dream I had.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed when he heard that. He even stopped in his tracks. He was holding one of the gifts as he suddenly tightened his grip. It was as if he was trying to control his surge of emotions.
Su Binglan took a few steps forward, but her husband did not follow. She stopped and turned around, noticing something was off about Luo Jin’an.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I told you I could carry the gifts myself, but you insisted on helping.” She approached Luo Jin’an to take the gift from his hand with an outstretched arm.
At that moment, Luo Jin’an lowered his head and looked at his wife profoundly. However, Su Binglan could not take the gift from her husband because he held it too tightly.
She looked up at Luo Jin’an and met his eyes. She saw that they were red. “W-What’s wrong?”
Luo Jin’an returned to his senses when he heard his wife’s words. Then he closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions. When he opened them again, they had returned to normal. He said hoarsely, “Do you have any impressions of Blue Mountain Academy?”
Su Binglan did not overthink as she said, “What do you mean? I only asked around about the academy, and most said it’s the best academy of our generation. Sure, the admission requirements are harsh, but it would greatly benefit Xuexuan and Xuehai if they could attend Blue Mountain Academy.”
“Okay, I understand,” Luo Jin’an replied softly.
Su Binglan was a bit puzzled.
When the couple arrived at Blue Mountain Academy, Su Binglan told the attendant she wanted to see the principal.
Lin, the attendant, said, “I’m sorry, Miss. Our principal is busy teaching, so he doesn’t have time to meet with others.”
When Lin finished speaking, he saw Luo Jin’an. His expression drastically changed, and his whole body trembled. His legs went weak, and he was about to kneel. Then he stammered, “M-Mast…
Luo Jin’an hurriedly shook his head at Lin.
Lin reacted instantly and said, “I-I’m sorry, I was dizzy. P-Please, take a seat while I look for the principal immediately.” He quickly ran away after saying that.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she looked around Blue Mountain Academy. Some images even flashed across her mind.
The couple waited for a long while, but no one showed up. Su Binglan looked at her husband and said, “You rest here while I go for a walk.”
Soon after, Lin and an older gentleman ran over while panting. The older gentleman was Blue Mountain Academy’s principal. He became teary-eyed when he saw Luo Jin’an. Then he knelt and said, “M-Master, it’s an honor to meet you finally!”
