Su Wenxiu turned and strode away as if he was about to flee. He needed to calm down because he felt confused.
However, Zi Die caught up with him and said, “Professor Wenxiu, it’s still break time. Didn’t you say we could come to your office if we had any questions?”
Su Wenxiu came to an abrupt stop, and his body stiffened. He could not face Zi Die like he usually did in the office. He only treated her like any other student, but her words echoed in his mind.
“I-I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. If you need help with your notes, ask the other teachers.” Immediately after, he fled, not daring to look at Zi Die.
Su Wenxiu thought he had gotten far enough away from her when she shouted, “You have to wait for me to grow up, Professor Su!”
Su Wenxiu almost tripped and fell when he heard that. Thankfully, he had managed to stabilize himself. He was still absent-minded when he got home.
When Su Binglan returned home that evening, she saw her second brother sitting at the table in a daze. Su Wenxiu seemed utterly different from his usual self, so Su Binglan asked, “What happened, Wenxiu?
Su Wenxiu was startled when he heard his sister’s voice. He was immersed in his thoughts and did not realize Su Binglan had returned. He rubbed his chest and exclaimed, “Sister, when did you get back?!”
“What were you thinking about just now?” Su Binglan smiled.
Su Wenxiu stammered, “N-Nothing, it’s just… I-I was just thinking about my next lesson.”
He was not good at lying, so he dared not look at his sister while speaking. However, Su Binglan carefully observed his expression and became a little worried about him.
She wanted to know what was going on, but she realized he was too embarrassed to even look at her. When she noticed her brother blushing, she could guess what had happened.
Su Binglan thought Su Wenxiu had encountered a relationship issue. She smiled lightly and said, “If you need my help, just let me know.”
She did not pry and left it at that. Su Wenxiu sighed in relief when he heard that. He was thankful she did not ask further. He would not know what to say if she did.
After all, he was a terrible liar and did not know how to tell the truth. He felt shy because a thirteen-year-old girl had confessed her feelings for him.
‘How could she say such things to me? It must be because she’s too young and doesn’t know what feelings are.’
Su Binglan returned to her work while Su Wenxiu continued to let his mind wander. He only returned to his senses when Shen Qiuhua called out to him while making dinner.
Shen Qiuhua did not overthink Su Wenxiu’s absent-mindedness. She only thought it was because he had been busy and tired from work. “Are you tired?
Did you not sleep well last night?”
“No, that’s not it. I’ve just been thinking about the students.”
Shen Qiuhua continued to cut the vegetables as she said, “Yeah, you’re also going to Yang County with your sister tomorrow, right? I’m sure you’re busy arranging everything at the school before leaving. Go to bed after dinner, okay?”
Su Wenxiu nodded blankly. “Okay.”
After a while, he realized that he still needed to pack before heading to Yang
County. “Sister, have you packed.”
Su Binglan said, “You don’t need to pack. I’ve already prepared everything we need.’
She had placed many things in her pocket dimension so she could take them out whenever they needed something.
Su Wenxiu trusted his sister very much. Since she said there was no need to pack anything, he simply said, “l told Doctor Yang about it. She’s happy to visit her village with her husband and child.”
Su Binglan was stunned. “Doctor Yang is a woman?”
Su Wenxiu nodded, “Yeah, and her medical skills are exceptional. People discriminate against her because she’s a woman, but she has saved many people and proved the naysayers wrong.
“Everyone slowly realized what a good doctor she is. Since she’s a woman, many madams from wealthy families ask for her consultations. I teach and accept female students all the time.
“Doctor Yang is the most supportive and patient teacher. She told me she started studying medicine during childhood. No one understood her ambitions, but she insisted on studying medicine.
“She later became successful and helped many in need. She said you helped change many girls’ statuses. She admires you the most, Sister. She was ecstatic when I told her about your plans to build a herb factory in Yang Village.”
Su Binglan understood Doctor Yang more after listening to her brother. “She must’ve put in a lot of effort to achieve such results as a female doctor.”
Su Wenxiu nodded, saying, “Yeah, she told me that she continued to study while others played around. She only slept four hours a day and spent most of her time learning about medicine. Doctor Yang is hardworking and teaches at the school when she’s free.’
“Since you think so highly of her, I believe you.” Su Binglan smiled. She then looked at the map of Yang County before going to bed that night. She only slept after memorizing every detail of the map.
The following morning, Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu boarded the carriage and set off. The duo went to the medical school entrance to fetch Doctor Yang. Su Wenxiu had even arranged for some teachers to care for the students.
Therefore, those who had to teach stayed at the medical school for convenience’s sake.
Doctor Yang and her husband were doctors, so they planned to take their child to Yang County, too. After all, it had been a while since they visited home. Doctor Yang was excited when she saw her idol, Su Binglan.
Even Doctor Lin and the child were happy to see her. After exchanging pleasantries, the group boarded the carriage and headed toward Yang Village. Although the journey would be long, Su Binglan had prepared everything the group needed.
They only arrived at Yang County a few days later.
Doctor Yang lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, saying, “The place is the same even though we’ve been away for so many years.”
Coming from a bustling place like Su Teng Village to a remote place like Yang County was strange for Doctor Yang. She preferred the hustle and bustle of Su Teng Village.
She thought it would be great if Yang County could be just as lively and prosperous as Su Teng Village. She wanted the people to live well and work in peace.
Su Binglan did not expect Yang County to be so barren, either. Almost no one was around.
Su Wenxiu felt Teng County was much better than Yang County, even in the past. He said, “There doesn’t seem to be very many people in town..”
