Chapter 25 (2/2)
But the whole thing stimulated an impulse deep down in their hearts to do all they can to catch up.
The more questions Qiao Mu posed, the sweaty his forehead became. But his eyes were increasingly shining.
Because he just discovered a treasure.
A Chinese Medicine talent!
Now, he no longer wanted to stick to his routines.
Nothing was more fascinating than discovering a Chinese Medicine talent.
After posing more than ten questions in a row, no matter how simple or complex, how common or rare the questions were, Fang Qiu always gave him the perfect answers!
Qiao Mu swallowed with difficulty. Then, he fixed his eyes on Fang Qiu and asked.
”Have you ever learned about Chinese Medicine?”
Every student on the scene pricked up their ears and stared at Fang Qiu.
Others students in this class were also quite curious about that.
They all suspected that Fang Qiu already learned the knowledge of Chinese Medicine.
Otherwise, how could he know so much about it?
But Fang Qiu just shook his head with a smile.
He had not learned any of it before.
Seeing that, everyone went stupefied and fell into silence.
”He is able to answer all the questions the teacher poses simply by previewing the lessons.”
”You are really behaving in defiance of nature!”
”When we take exams, you're definitely going to pass with full marks!”
”Good! Very good!”
Said Qiao Mu excitedly with boomed voice. Then, he looked at Fang Qiu appreciatively and asked, ”Student, what's your distinguished family name?”
”Distinguished, distinguished family name?”
The whole class was astounded.
”Professor, please do things within boundaries. Though he did answer a dozen questions correctly, it doesn't mean you have to be so humble in front of him. You are his teacher, aren't you?”
But Qiao Mu did not mind it. His eyes were still glued on Fang Qiu.
”Professor, my family name is Fang, and my full name is Fang Qiu.”
Replied Fang Qiu very politely.
”Fang Qiu, good! Very good! Please take your seat!”
Qiao Mu signaled Fang Qiu to sit down. Then, he took a moment to recover his composure before saying, ”It took me by surprise that our class has such an undiscovered talent. He is absolutely the only one I've ever seen in my life who can go this far simply by previewing the book.”
”I believe since the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine was founded, no one has ever accomplished that like student Fang.”
”You should all follow his example!”
”The only one he has ever seen in his life?”
That description made every student's heart gave a throb.
”It's high praise!”
”The first one since the founding of the university! How impressive!”
No one was thinking that Fang Qiu was just seeking popularity by saying shocking words. Since he had made everyone impressed to that extent, what he did was beyond that—it could be said that he just overlooked others with unrivaled power!
At last, with Fang Qiu being the example, Qiao Mu returned to his original routine—motivating students to study hard.
With Fang Qiu being the unimaginably awesome example and the teacher's earnest instructions, the entire Class Three of the School of Chinese Medicine suddenly was brimming with enthusiasm for study.
No one was willing to be outshined by other students. Although Fang Qiu had set a high standard for them, they would not be intimidated by it! They would not yield to him!
In the end, the planed two sessions actually combined into one long class. The moment the class was over, Qiao Mu scooped up his books and hurried out of the classroom, as if he had something urgent.
Students of Class Three were packing their books away, preparing to transfer to another classroom for their next class—Ancient Chinese for Medicine.
While organizing the books, Sun Hao complained to Fang Qiu with a wry smile.
”The youngest, could you restrain your talents a tiny bit? You're so brilliant. In comparison, we're as useless as stinking dung.”
”Exactly!”
Echoed Zhou Xiaotian, his face showing all his support for that requirement. His eyes that bored into Fang Qiu's were quite disgruntled.
”Seeing me being so awesome, don't you have more motivation to study?”
Pulling his books back into this schoolbag, Fang Qiu said in a teasing tone, beaming.
”Sure motivated. But we don't feel well!”
Said Sun Hao with a bitter face.
”That's exactly what I've been aiming at!”
After putting his schoolbag across one shoulder, Fang Qiu's expression turned a bit serious and he said in a low and deep voice, ”Chinese Medicine practitioners are responsible for saving lives and doing good to society. In your aimless college life and at your start-up stage of Chinese Medicine studying, I hope I could be someone like a lighthouse, leading everyone to head forward. As you're working hard to catch up or even overtake me, I hope your academic achievements and knowledge on medicine could have a big leap.”
He said those words quite seriously, with not a single trace of playfulness.
Though those words were rather formal, rather high-sounding.
They did express Fang Qiu's genuine objective.
He was not the kind of guy who liked to steal the spotlight. If he had been studying other professions, he would have kept it low key. However, what he was studying was a profession what needed the students to save lives and help the injured. Everyone had to have a solid knowledge of all the medical skills. Thus, he stepped forward to be their example.
To stimulate everyone under such contrast and motivate them to study Chinese Medicine well.
After all, the power of one Chinese Medicine practitioner was limited. Only when all the others learned Chinese Medicine well and became great doctors, so many who were suffering from diseases and illnesses in the world could have a chance to go on with their lives.
As to whether some people would think him as a guy who liked pushing himself forward and showing off, he did not care a scrap. Anyway, their judgment could not affect him.
After finishing those words, Fang Qiu smiled at the three and took off with his schoolbag.
Staring at Fang Qiu's back, his three roommates were all speechless.
They just discovered they did not really know the youngest. It turned out that he had already held such a great aspiration and put it into practice.
”Since Fang Qiu arrived in this university, no matter it was windy or rainy, no matter there was the military training or not.”
”He had been reading and studying without stop.”
”How regretful I am!”
The three heaved a deep sigh of frustration before dashing out to catch up with Fang Qiu.
Meanwhile, in the building of the School of Chinese Medicine, the door of the dean's office was banged open.
The sound gave the dean who was reading files in the room quite a turn.
Instantly, the dean's face went sullen.
”Professor Qiao, why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know you should knock the door first?”
Demanded Qi Kaiwen, a bit vexed.
”I'm sorry, Dean!”
The man who just broke in was Qiao Mu, Fang Qiu's professor teaching Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine. He quickly got a grip of himself, but the excitement on his face still revealed emotions. Then, he exclaimed, ”Dean, I found a real talent among the freshmen of our school!”
