Chapter 666: The Highest Honor in the Academic Field

Xu Wan turned and looked over. Smiling, she greeted, “Gu Mang.”

Gu Mang nodded politely and walked to her spot before drinking from a half-filled cup. Then, she took a book from the bookshelf and climbed into bed.

Shen Qianzi and Xu Wan looked in Gu Mang’s direction and stayed silent for a few seconds before they continued chatting.

Soon, Xu Wan returned to her room. “Qianzi, let’s continue talking another day. Bye bye.”

“Okay.” Shen Qianzi sent Xu Wan off.

After the dorm room door was closed, she slowly eyed Gu Mang using her peripheral vision. After looking at Gu Mang for a few seconds, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze away. She looked down and smiled.

Gu Mang had tricks up her sleeve. She could even act against her biological sister. It was no wonder that she eliminated Yu Shu.

Shen Qianzi looked at the messages that her mother had sent her this morning.

[Our family is not on par with the Lu family yet. Do not clash with Gu Mang.]

[She offended Master Bi. Even if she has the Lu family to s.h.i.+eld her, she won’t have an easy life from now on.]

Moving to Jijing Island was the highest honor in the academic field. However, Gu Mang had offended someone from the four major clans on Jijing Island over a piece of music,

Shen Qianzi shook her head.

Stupid.

…

Three days later.

In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, eight days of holiday were declared. A few professors from the Medical Informatics specialization gave the students an overwhelming amount of a.s.signments and related theses.

The holidays were not a time to relax.

Gu Mang went to the library and borrowed a few books. When she came out, she saw Lu Chengzhou, wearing a mask, standing under a tree next to the library. The man looked over at the same time and their eyes met.

He approached her and helped her carry her backpack. Feeling the weight of her bag, he raised his eyebrows. “You borrowed so many books.”

Gu Mang nodded. “The professors gave us a lot of a.s.signments.

She had quite a few books to read. She had not dealt with medical AI much, so she did not have much knowledge of it.

Holding hands, Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang walked out of the school slowly. “Why are you suddenly learning about this?”

Gu Mang pulled the brim of her cap down with her slightly cold fingers.

The sun was dazzling. Hence, she moved into Lu Chengzhou’s shadow.

She answered softly, “It’s the general trend now. Computer simulated surgery, video restoration, long-distance a.s.sisted surgery, and digital medical treatments. There’s a lot to it.”

Medical AI could actually provide convenience in searching for information about special medical cases. AI consultations coupled with medical experts from different fields could help turn the medical field into an information network in the future. It would make sharing information and medical treatments much more efficient.

Lu Chengzhou glanced at her exquisite side-profile. “This specialization is not very established at Capital University yet. The professors all paid to study this overseas for eight years before coming back to teach. Research in this field is also taking longer than research outside.”

Gu Mang looked at him from her peripheral vision. “Are you talking about Jijing Island?”

“Mm.” Lu Chengzhou let go of her hand slightly and tightly interlocked fingers with her. “Their medical facilities are pretty good.”

Gu Mang observed what he had done and raised her eyebrows. She said casually, “What are we eating for your birthday tonight?”

Lu Chengzhou said, “Let’s go to the mart to buy ingredients. I will make dinner for you.”

Gu Mang smiled. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to make dinner on your birthday?”

“It’s okay.” Lu Chengzhou smiled like a refined rascal. “It’s always appropriate to do something for you.”

Gu Mang was speechless.

When they walked to the entrance, they b.u.mped into Jiang Shenyuan and Meng Jinyang.

The two men, who had both come to fetch someone, looked at each other with tacit understanding.

Jiang Shenyuan took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and gave it to Lu Chengzhou. “Qin Fang and the rest already booked Tian Que. They said if you are not going, they are going to have fun by themselves.”

“Put the bill on my tab.” Lu Chengzhou took a cigarette and lit it with his own lighter. He raised his chin and gestured towards the girl who was beside Gu Mang. “Are you bringing your girl to have some fun too?”
