Qin Chuan felt that Jian Yiling was a rather smart girl. Her previous grades that were poor were probably because she didn’t want to learn. If she was willing to learn the content, she would be able to master it quickly.

This was the insight that Qin Chuan had gained over the few times that he had tutored Jian Yiling.

“Yeah, she doesn’t need tutoring. She needs a lot of other help. Sometimes, tutoring can help someone’s grades. However, other times, it’s just a waste of time.”

The Head of Teaching had obviously misunderstood Qin Chuan’s words.

Qin Chuan frowned for a moment before he took a look at the quiet girl who wasn’t sitting far away from him. After hesitating for a moment, he explained, “Teacher Li, you misunderstood what I meant. I think she’s rather talented and smart.”

Qin Chuan wasn’t a person who liked to justify his words. This went for everything in his life.

However, he had explained what he meant previously. This was quite rare already.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, the Head of Teaching’s expression became rather awkward.

However, as he appreciated the young man in front of him, he decided to not argue against Qin Chuan’s words. He would endure such comments.

Furthermore, it would be rather embarrassing to tell an outsider about how bad the students were in his school. It was akin to picking up a stone and dropping it on his own foot.

The Head of Teaching wasn’t that stupid.

As of now, there were a lot of people in the cafeteria. Most of them had noticed Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan was gifted with tall and attractive genetics. It was hard for him to not get noticed.

If it weren’t for the Head of Teaching seated next to Qin Chuan, many of the students would have taken the opportunity to talk to him. The Head of Teaching was given the nickname “Ghosts avoid him.”

Mo Shiyun was also eating in the cafeteria. She had once again noticed Qin Chuan. Once again, she couldn’t help her attention being attracted to him.

However, Qin Chuan was unable to notice Mo Shiyun among the crowd of students.

The chemistry competition was hosted on a Thursday. All the students who registered for the competition were allowed to skip school for that day.

As a registered student, Jian Yiling naturally did not go to school that day.

As the competition was in the afternoon, most of the students who registered for the competition were cramming content. They spent the morning reading and revising through questions.

However, on the other hand, Jian Yiling went to the research institution.

She had two reasons for her visit: Firstly, she wanted to discuss Qin Chuan’s mother’s case; Secondly, she wanted to participate in an operation. Through this operation, she could familiarize herself with the surgical procedures in the institution.

Qin Chuan’s mother’s case was handled by Jian Yiling and Cheng Yi.

During the period when she was sick, Cheng Yi had sent her relevant data to the case via the Internet. They had discussed and analyzed the information online.

However, Jian Yiling wanted to confirm some of the information with her own eyes.

Qin Chuan’s mother had a rare blood disease. The cause of this disease was still unknown.

Her symptoms showed that she had low oxygen levels in her blood. Prolonged exposure to such a symptom would lead to heart failure, multiple tracheal failures, and brain damage.

And thus, Jian Yiling and Cheng Yi needed to figure out the cause for this disease. They needed to find a way to make her blood oxygen levels normal again.

At present, Qin Chuan’s mother was in a ward at the institution. She had various devices connected to her body. Those devices monitored various indicators 24 hours a day.

Cheng Yi had started attempting to create a medication that could maintain Qin Chuan’s mother’s blood oxygen concentration at a normal level. Combined with the help of other external medical equipment, this could ensure that her health condition wouldn’t deteriorate any further.

As soon as Jian Yiling arrived, the institution had become lively again.

The professors scrambled to talk to Jian Yiling. As a result, Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen had to wait in the queue again.

After getting rid of the ‘attacking’ professors, Jian Yiling finally returned back to her seat.

Jian Yiling had brought Luo Xiuen an autographed photo of four of the members of Jupiter.

“Ahhhh. Jian Yiling, I love you so much! You’re the best!”

Luo Xiuen held up the photo and kissed it repeatedly.
