Next to her, Lin Jiayu continued, “I asked Master Handsome about it yesterday. He said, at 7 years of age, Gangan already familiarized herself with ‘The Verses of Traditional Chinese Medicine’, ‘The Compendium of Materia Medica’, ‘Huangdi’s Internal Classics’, and ‘The Treatise on Typhoid’. By the time she was 9, she could recite these books back to front.”
These were all classical literature. Yet, Yu Gangan actually knew how to recite it at such a young age.
Jiang Qi looked at He Shigui in surprise, “Is that true?”
He Shigui smiled and nodded, “Yes.”
Jiang Qi looked at Yu Gangan with respect, “Sister Yu, you are amazing.”
Just as everyone was chatting happily, Gu Shuling arrived.
Since they were eating breakfast in the courtyard that they shared, they were bound to run into each other.
Gu Shuling tried all day yesterday to see Fang Zhihan, but the man never appeared.
So when she saw him during breakfast, her eyes lit up. As she looked at everyone, she greeted them good morning and sat down next to Jiang Qi to join them for breakfast without considering whether she was welcome.
Jiang Qi subconsciously wanted to move away, but then she remembered what He Shigui told her. He had taught her not to appear guilty in front of Gu Shuling.
Last night, when she returned to her room, she had already sent Gu Shuling a message to tell her that she had confessed everything to her brother. So, she couldn’t let Gu Shuling find out that she had lied.
Jiang Qi immediately sat firmly in place and smiled at Gu Shuling.
Gu Shuling: “…”
Did Jiang Qi actually tell everything to Fang Zhihan? Based on her personality, she was cowardly like a mouse and particularly afraid that Fang Zhihan would abandon her. Since it was related to Gu Yanyu, how did she have the courage to tell Fang Zhihan?
She was going to wait and see.
“Brother…” Before she finished her sentence, Fang Zhihan suddenly stood up.
He touched Yu Gangan on the head and asked, “Have you finished eating?”
Yu Gangan glanced at Gu Shuling and nodded her head, “Yes.”
“Let’s go,” he said.
This man was suggesting that she take his car back to the city. Yu Gangan subconsciously looked at He Shigui. She had arrived with her Master Handsome. Besides, he had not finished his test yet.
So, it was best for her to behave and not act so presumptuously.
But, just as she was about to say something, Jiang Qi smiled and said, “Sister Yu, my driver brought me here but he left yesterday. Why don’t you take my brother’s car and I’ll take Master Handsome’s car.”
She then looked at He Shigui with hope in her clear eyes, “Master Handsome, I have something important to tell you.”
Yu Gangan looked a little uneasy. After all, her Master Handsome told her not to let Fang Zhihan know that he already knew about them while he was still undertaking his test.
But, Fang Zhihan had declared his ownership in an overbearing manner during this hot spring trip.
He Shigui put down his chopsticks and slowly stood up. He then smiled at Jiang Qi, “Take my car then.”
Yu Gangan and Jiang Qi smiled happily, “Thank you, Master Handsome.”
The two women looked at each other and their smiles grew even bigger.
As they walked out, Yu Gangan asked Jiang Qi, “Why do you call my teacher Master Handsome as well?”
“Because it sounds nice,” Jiang Qi replied.
Yu Gangan smiled playfully as she teased, “My teacher’s name sounds even better. My grandfather named it. It’s particularly meaningful.”
“Oh, what’s the meaning?”
“He Shouwu1 married Dang Gui2, and they gave birth to He Shigui.”
“Hahaha.”
Everyone laughed and chatted as they walked out, completely ignoring Gu Shuling.
