Chapter 711 - Heaven Is Fair (2/2)

Grandpa Du is willing to take such a lousy student like me, what more Zhong Rufeng whose grandfather is on close terms with Grandpa Du. Wouldn’t it be right for him to take Zhong Rufeng as his disciple?

Zhong Rufeng said calmly, “I know very little about herbs, especially those that are similar to each other.”

Wen Xinya instantly understood what he meant. Staring at the smile on Zhong Rufeng’s face, she said, “Master Zhong, you’ve already achieved stellar results. You can’t be perfect in every aspect. You must give others a chance to shine too. Am I right?”

She had known Zhong Rufeng for more than two years and knew that he was close to perfect. However, she was shocked to discover that he had flaws.

Staring at her raised brows, Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “Yes! Heaven is fair.”

Wen Xinya could not help but burst into laughter.

Zhong Rufeng continued, “I’ve consulted your main physician. He said that you have suffered a severe injury on your head and that you have to nurse it well. You don’t have to worry about the final year examination. Once your condition stabilizes in another few days, I’ll tutor you. I won’t let you lag too far behind.”

Extremely thrilled, Wen Xinya asked, “Really?”

With the scholarly Zhong Rufeng around to help me, Mother won’t have to worry about my academics.

She began to get agitated and he caressed her hair affectionately. “I know how much getting into Capital University means to you. Don’t worry… I’ll definitely help you. I won’t let you have any regrets.”

He had also heard about Ning Shuqian losing her rationality and becoming mentally unsound. He did not want her to harm her own health while focusing too much on her revision.

Wen Xinya felt the warmth of his hand and froze in shock, before turning away while giggling the moment she realized that it felt wrong.

Zhong Rufeng looked at his hand which was hovering in the air and no longer on her soft and tender hair. Feeling a little empty, he got a grip on his emotions and said, “But, you must promise that you’ll prioritize your recovery and avoid letting your imagination run wild.”

Wen Xinya did not object and instead changed the subject. “Has Grandpa Zhong been doing well lately? It’s been a long time since I visited him.”

Previously, she had paused her calligraphy lessons with Old Mr. ZHong because she was preoccupied with revising.

Zhong Rufeng smiled and answered, “He’s still the same as usual. When he found out about your injury this morning, he flew into a rage and threw a tantrum at Old Mr. Mo. I reckon he’s on his way here now.”

He had initially planned to visit Wen Xinya together with Old Mr. Zhong. However, he could not contain his feelings of worry and hence, decided to come forth in advance.

Wen Xinya said resignedly, “I must have made Grandpa Zhong worry.”

This time,

Zhong Rufeng gazed at her while she seemed to be stuck in a dilemma. He took great pity on her, for he knew that she had been putting her best foot forward and he had witnessed all the hard work and efforts that she had put in in order to win the Wen Family’s affirmation. He initially thought that her life would become smoother after she had gained recognition. Yet, it brought her a huge disaster.
