Dashing Student-Chapter 509 - , Concern from the Beautiful Senior Schoolmate

Upon hearing Su Hong’s words,

Chen Nan didn’t hesitate and directly said, "Professor Su, I heard that our Traditional Chinese Medicine department has a long-inherited, profound ancient medical book."

"I have always held reverence and yearning for Traditional Chinese Medicine classics. May I, a junior, have the fortune to witness its true form and study it devotedly?" His tone was sincere and eager, his eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge.

Su Hong was slightly taken aback, his gaze slowly scrutinizing Chen Nan, filled with suspicion.

He frowned slightly, asking with a hint of doubt in his tone, "You didn’t specifically apply to our Traditional Chinese Medicine department just because of that medical book, did you?"

In his view, this ancient medical book was too mysterious and precious; Chen Nan’s urgent inquiry was somewhat surprising.

Chen Nan didn’t avoid Su Hong’s gaze; he nodded firmly and responded, "Yes!"

That concise and forceful answer highlighted his dedication to the medical book.

Seeing this, Su Hong couldn’t help but sigh lightly, his expression full of helplessness. Shaking his head solemnly, he said, "Chen Nan, if you had any other request, I would definitely do my best to help you with my abilities and connections."

He paused briefly, his face showing a hint of difficulty, then continued, "But some matters are not for me to decide."

"Especially that ’Heavenly Return Medical Records’, it is as important as life itself to our school’s old dean."

Su Hong slightly raised his head, his gaze revealing a hint of yearning, and slowly said, "To be honest, one reason I chose to work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department was in hopes of someday having the opportunity to study the ’Heavenly Return Medical Records’."

"But the old dean treats it like a treasure and rarely shows it to anyone." As he spoke, a bitter smile spread across Su Hong’s face, filled with the helplessness of years of unfulfilled desires.

As a scholar who had deeply cultivated the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine for many years, Su Hong knew the value of the ’Heavenly Return Medical Records’ better than anyone.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this manual is a concentrated essence of thousands of years of wisdom in Traditional Chinese Medicine, containing medical philosophies and treatment methods that are of immeasurable significance for the development of modern Traditional Chinese Medicine.

If he could study this book deeply, he believed his expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine would greatly improve, possibly leading to significant breakthroughs in research.

However, reality always falls short of expectations.

The old dean was getting on in years, and his temperament became unpredictable; every time Su Hong excitedly proposed to study the ’Heavenly Return Medical Records’, the old dean coldly rejected him.

Those rejections still vivid in his memory, each setback felt overwhelmingly disappointing, but he never gave up the desire in his heart.

Chen Nan hadn’t expected accessing the Heavenly Return Medical Records to be so challenging and couldn’t help asking, "Is there really no way to study this masterpiece?"

"There is!" Su Hong said with a smile, "If you are outstanding enough to catch the old dean’s attention and favor, even without asking, he might generously let you study the ’Heavenly Return Medical Records’!"

Chen Nan nodded solemnly.

Su Hong, smiling, began, "Let’s exchange contact information. You can contact me anytime you need something, and I will help as much as I can within my capacity."

"Alright." Chen Nan and Su Hong exchanged contact information.

"Then that’s it for today; have a good rest. Classes start tomorrow." After leaving these words, Su Hong leisurely walked out of Chen Nan’s dormitory.

Just a short while after Su Hong left, Lin Shiyun arrived holding some daily necessities she had bought for Chen Nan.

Sweat beads had formed on her forehead, a few strands of hair dampened and sticking to her cheeks, yet her gentle demeanor remained evident.

"Junior Chen Nan, I bought you some daily necessities, see if there’s anything else you need." Lin Shiyun smiled as she walked into the dorm, gently placing the bag on a nearby table.

Her smile was like a blossom in spring, warm and bright.

Chen Nan felt a warmth in his heart and quickly said, "Senior, you are too kind. I should be buying these things myself, I feel bad that you did this." He then took the shopping bag from Lin Shiyun’s hand.

"I was idle anyway, just bought them on my way, consider it a return of favor," Lin Shiyun revealed a playful smile.

Then, her gaze swept around the dormitory and noticed that Chen Nan’s bed was still unmade, so she said, "Let me help you make your bed."

Saying this, she began to make the bed, her movements skilled and natural.

Chen Nan wanted to refuse, but he didn’t know how to start.

He could only stand by and watch Lin Shiyun bustling about, feeling a different kind of ripple in his heart.

Lin Shiyun was slightly bent over, seriously making the bed. Her hair swayed slightly with her movements, and occasionally a few strands slipped onto her cheek, adding a touch more charm.

Chen Nan’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, and he found himself momentarily lost in thought.

Lin Shiyun seemed to feel Chen Nan’s gaze and looked up, just meeting his eyes.

Their gazes met in the air, and for a moment, it felt as though the air around them warmed up.

A faint blush appeared on Lin Shiyun’s cheeks, like the evening clouds on the horizon, she hurriedly lowered her head and continued her task, but her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.

Chen Nan also realized his lapse and coughed awkwardly, trying to break the slightly ambiguous atmosphere, "Senior, you really shouldn’t trouble yourself so much."

Lin Shiyun gently shook her head, "My task is to help the freshmen, it’s no trouble at all, you don’t need to feel like an outsider." Her voice was soft, like a breeze in spring, gently caressing Chen Nan’s heart.

After making the bed, Lin Shiyun stood up and turned to look at Chen Nan.

They were very close.

Close enough that Chen Nan could clearly smell the faint fragrance from Lin Shiyun, a refreshing scent mixed with floral fragrance and laundry detergent, refreshing and pleasant.

Lin Shiyun’s gaze was somewhat evasive, not daring to meet Chen Nan’s eyes directly, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Alright, the bed is made. Are you satisfied with it?"

Chen Nan’s gaze slowly fell on the neatly made bed. The white bedsheet was stretched tight, without a single wrinkle, and the quilt was folded neatly, like a piece of exquisite artwork.

He slightly curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a meaningful bitter smile, and gently shook his head, "Not quite satisfied."

"Ah?" Lin Shiyun’s eyes widened instantly, her face full of astonishment.

She had been fully anticipating praise from Chen Nan, but instead, she received a response that deeply disappointed her.

Her heart felt suddenly blocked by a stone, a nameless feeling of dismay surged, and her eyes unconsciously showed a look of loss.

Seeing Lin Shiyun’s aggrieved expression, Chen Nan felt a tender ripple in his heart.

He took a small step forward, his tone containing a bit of teasing and indulgence, as if it was only natural to say, "You made the bed so neat and beautiful, it’s like a flawless masterpiece; I can’t bear to lie on it and sleep."

"I’m afraid that after sleeping, I wouldn’t be able to return it to its current perfect state."

Hearing this.

A charming blush quietly rose on Lin Shiyun’s face, she held back her shyness and said, "If you don’t mind, I can continue to make the bed for you in the future!"
