Chapter 306: We’ll Share the Good and the Bad

Tang Beibei mentioned that she was first in class after their final exams because she didn’t want Professor Chen to think that her dancing had affected her studies. She wanted to prove that she could manage her time well.
Professor Chen glanced at her. Was she fishing for a compliment?
This young girl was not an extroverted person. It was rare for her to bring up her results. Would it hurt her if he said anything mean?
Professor Chen nodded graciously. “But don’t be complacent. You should still finish the books on the reading list I gave you. If you don’t improve, you will fall behind.”
Tang Beibei nodded quickly and said, “I will not be complacent.
Seeing that she was so obedient, Professor Chen stopped lecturing her.
In future, bring your reading notes with you when you come to see me every week. As for your dancing, you’re doing quite well. There’s a medical conference in capital city next month. I’d like you to perform there. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you for your dance.”
Tang Beibei raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.
Professor Chen, you want me to dance?
Are you afraid that it pays too little, or that the stage is not worthy of you?”
No! I’ll do it!
Professor Chen’s expression softened a little. He hooked his finger at her and asked her to give him her hand.
Tang Beibei was puzzled, but she still gave him her hand. Professor Chen checked her pulse and asked her to open her mouth to look at her tongue. He then asked her where she was wounded.
Suddenly, he moved his hand and pressed down on her wound. Tang Beibei winced in pain.
“Your wound is recovering well, but you still need to recuperate. I’ll write you a prescription.”
Tang Beibei was surprised. She did not expect Professor Chen to treat her and tell her what she should and shouldn’t eat.
Professor Chen, you’re so nice.” Tang Beibei said emotionally.
Professor Chen was embarrassed by her words and snorted coldly. “I’m just asking you to recuperate well so you don’t embarrass me when you perform next month.”
After he finished speaking, he gave his prescription to her and said, “Ask your senior, Song Kai, to get the medicine for you. He can get a discount. You don’t have enough Qi and blood, and your Yin is very weak. You have to take this medicine for a period of time. Don’t stay up late. Don’t wait until you are old to realize that you should’ve lived a healthy lifestyle.”
Okay.
Tang Beibei felt guilty. She didn’t want to stay up late either, but her study load was heavy.
Speaking of the devil, Professor Chen’s office door opened, and Song Kai walked in.
The first thing Song Kai asked when he saw Tang Beibei was how she was recovering. Tang Beibei smiled and raised both her arms.
The professor just said that I’m recovering well. Thank you for your concern Senior Song Kai.”
Song Kai saw her bright smile and figured that her injuries weren’t that serious, and heaved a sigh of relief.
He was here to apply for leave of absence from his teacher. He had to manage Song Enterprise and wouldn’t have much time for school anymore.
Professor Chen felt regretful when he heard that Song Kai was going home to take over Song Enterprise. He was very accomplished in medicine. If he became a doctor, he would undoubtedly be a good doctor.
However, everyone had their own aspirations. No matter how good his medical skills were, he still could not get rid of his personal demons.
Bring your little junior to get her medicine.” Professor Chen harrumphed coldly like he was very dismissive of Song Kai.
Tang Beibei waved her hand and said, “Not yet, Professor Chen. My shift isn’t over yet.”
“Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you talking back to me? You’ve become quite bold, young lady.”
Song Kai had been Professor Chen’s mentee for a few years and knew that this old man had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He was a very good teacher.
I’ll go get the medicine for Beibei and let her continue her shift here. She’s stubborn. She’ll feel sad if she can’t complete her shift here.” Song Kai took her prescription.
Professor Chen watched Song Kai leave before he glared at Tang Beibei. “I think you’re just staying because you want to read my medical journals. Don’t think that I can’t see through your hidden thoughts.”
Tang Beibei didn’t dare to speak. She lowered her head to read, afraid that she would annoy him.
Professor Chen saw her compliance. If he said more, he would be bullying her. He snorted and went back to reading his magazine, which was in English.
Song Kai came back when Tang Beibei’s shift ended. He gave her a bag of medicine and said goodbye to Professor Chen with a smile.
Professor Chen looked at him with disdain. “You brat, don’t bother me when you have time in the future.”
Song Kai laughed in amusement. “Okay, okay. I’ll definitely come and visit you when I have time. You’re my teacher, so I’ll definitely come see you at every festive occasion.”
The two of them bickered for a while before Song Kai left with Tang Beibei.
Outside the teachers’ office building, Song Kai pointed at Tang Beibei’s bag of medicine and said, “Your dance practices make you sweat a lot, so you need to eat more vitamins B and C. There are also supplements inside that will protect your eyes since you read so much at night. Also, don’t always think about dieting and losing weight. I’ve also bought you some digestive teas.”
Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that he had bought him so much medicine and supplements.
Senior Song Kai, thank you. It must be quite expensive since you bought so much. Let me transfer the money to you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m a working adult, so I can afford this bit of money. When I start working full time, we won’t be able to see each other as much.”
Song Kai looked at her and put his arm around her shoulders with a mischievous smile.
I will miss my little junior.
Senior Song Kai.
She stepped aside to keep her distance from him. Song Kai retracted his arm in disappointment.
I’m just teasing you. I know you’re married, so you’re keeping your distance from men.”
Song Kai saw another bite mark on the side of her neck and frowned slightly. “But don’t always indulge Jiang Jingchen. You’re a medical student. You know that doing that kind of thing too much isn’t good for your health.”
“What thing?
Song Kai laughed and pointed at her neck. “There. Ask your husband what’s going on when you are home.”
Tang Beibei realized what was going on and quickly covered her neck. Her face a shade of crimson.
She also didn’t know why her husband had the weird habit of leaving bite marks on the back of her neck. She had reminded him several times not to bite there because it was embarrassing for her when others saw it.
The two of them said their goodbyes and Tang Beibei left to find Ruan Qi. Song Kai watched her walk away.
Once some people walked away, they could never be close again.
He let out a breath of turbid air and turned around to do his own thing. He would take over Song Enterprise and control the Song family!
Jiang Jingchen picked Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi up before they all went back to the villa.
Ruan Qi had told her family that she would be staying on campus after the winter break.
After dinner, Tang Beibei took out her bag of medicine. There was a note inside with clear instructions on what to avoid. Song Kai had been meticulous.
Tang Beibei was about to brew the Chinese medicine herself when Silent Sister snatched a medicine pouch from her, gesturing to Tang Beibei that it was her job and if Tang Beibei didn’t let her do it, she would feel guilty.
Tang Beibei had spent enough time with Silent Sister to understand her sign language. She had also been communicating with her using sign language.
When the Chinese medicine was brewed, it produced a bitter smell typical of Chinese medicine, along with some herbaceous fragrance of the medicine.
When Silent Sister brought the brewed medicine to her, the smell was so potent that Tang Beibei didn’t need to drink the medicine to feel its bitterness in her mouth.
Ruan Qi looked at her sympathetically. The black colored liquid looked like some witch’s potion. It was terrifying!
Jiang Jingchen saw that the little woman was resisting her medicine with a deep frown and picked up her medicine and took a sip.
“Mmm, it tastes pretty good.
Huh?
Tang Beibei’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw him drink it.
“We’ll share the good and the bad.
Jiang Jingchen handed the medicine to her and coaxed her. “Close your eyes hold your breath, and finish it in one gulp.”
Tang Beibei stared at him unblinkingly. He was not trying to coax her when he said that they would share the bad. He was indeed willing to experience her pain and suffering with her.
However, since he said that it tasted okay, she mustered up her courage, picked up the bowl and drank her medicine in one gulp.
Cough cough…!”
It was completely different from what she had expected. The medicine was so bitter, so very bitter.
It tasted terrible!
