After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 43 I didn't lie to you, did I?

Actually, I didn't intend to cry.

Just thinking about how he had disappointed Professor Ming in his past life, and how he was now asking for his help again, filled him with a sense of guilt and regret.

Dai Chen'an had no idea that he had told me to wait a moment before going back inside.

Half an hour later.

Dai Chen'an came out: "The professor said you have five minutes."

"That's enough!" I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Professor Ming has a somewhat eccentric temper, he is actually very kind-hearted.

"Thank you," I said gratefully.

Dai Chen'an seemed a little shy: "I'll help you with your luggage."

"I can manage on my own," I replied.

"It's okay, just five minutes, hurry up." Dai Chen'an helped me carry my suitcase, and I followed him inside.

At that moment, I heard a black Maybach behind me.

The man in the car gently lifted the curtain, revealing an expensive wristwatch on his long, slender wrist, indicating his distinguished status.

"Young Master, don't look anymore. Everything has been arranged. Professor Ming won't make things difficult for her," Huo Fei said in a low voice.

The man in the carriage sighed and lowered the curtain.

Huo Fei understood what the man meant: "I've already sent people to protect her, she'll be fine. You can focus on your work at the company."

The man said nothing.

Huo Fei started the car and drove away.

I sensed a strange gaze fixed on me. I turned around and saw only a black Maybach driving away. I frowned slightly, wondering if it was just my imagination.

Dai Chen'an left my suitcase at the gatekeeper's office and then led me to an experimental medicinal herb garden.

An old man wearing a straw hat squatted by the herb garden, his face full of worry.

"Professor, they've arrived," Dai Chen'an said.

Professor Ming didn't even look at it: "I understand."

I leaned closer and said, "It looks like this patch of carnations is growing slowly."

Professor Ming asked in surprise, "You know about the 'Campfire Grass'?"

I nodded: "I know. This herb is a good medicine for stopping bleeding, but if used carelessly, it can cause hallucinations and irreversible nerve damage."

"This thing can damage nerves?" Professor Ming asked thoughtfully.

Dai Chen'an asked in surprise, "You know about these things?"

"I know a little," I replied.

"But this carnation is almost invisible. We've worked so hard to cultivate it, and we haven't even started any experiments yet. How do you know that?" Dai Chen'an asked, puzzled.

"By chance." I can't exactly say I knew it in my past life, can I?

"Professor Ming, what do you think?" Dai Chen'an asked.

"What's the point of asking me?" Professor Ming was speechless. "I don't know either. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Aren't you a professor?" Dai Chen'an asked with an awkward smile.

"Does a professor have to know everything?" Professor Ming snorted, then looked at me: "What are those herbs over there?"

I turned around and said, "It's a lantern flower. It contains an anti-cancer substance. Most of the herbs in this medicinal garden are very precious and rare in the world. However, because they are artificially cultivated, their medicinal effects are not as good as those of wild ones."

Professor Ming looked at me intently: "I heard you came to me to save your mother?"

“Yes, my mother had an accident. She suffered a severe head injury, and the doctor said she might become a vegetable.” I explained, “So I hope Professor Ming can help me.”

Professor Ming's gaze darkened slightly: "You applied to a university specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Yes, I heard that several senior professors at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine are going to recruit a special group of students. I called the school and wanted to study under you," I said.

"Follow me?" Professor Ming smiled strangely. "Do you know why they all don't want to come with me?"

I shook my head.

"Because I rarely stay in the lab, I feel that burying myself in experiments is never as good as going out into nature. These are all things I discovered myself." Professor Ming joked, "It's a pity that some people only look at the data."

In fact, Professor Ming has already achieved great success. The reason he is still busy is because he has not yet found a suitable successor.

"Professor Ming, I'm not afraid of hard work." I looked at him and said, "I hope you can give me a chance."

Professor Ming stood up: "You said that because of your mother?"

“Professor Ming, if I didn’t love this subject, I would have gone to Tsinghua or Peking University.” I stood up as well.

Professor Ming hummed in satisfaction: "You should know that if you follow me, you won't have any time for yourself. For at least the next four years, you will have to study with me wholeheartedly, and you won't even be able to go home."

"Professor Ming, as long as you can save my mother, I'll follow you in scientific research for the rest of my life!" I made up my mind.

"A lifetime?" Professor Ming took off his straw hat, revealing a shiny bald head, and smiled. "I'm over sixty, I won't live for many more years."

He simply wanted to take advantage of his remaining time to pass on everything he had learned to students who satisfied him, so that he could feel at ease.

When Professor Ming said that, my heart clenched.

Because I know that Professor Ming really doesn't have much time left. He has liver cancer, and it's still in the early stages, but there's nothing that can be done.

"Good morning, go book three plane tickets," Professor Ming instructed. "Let's leave now."

“Okay!” Dai Chen’an immediately went to do it.

Professor Ming looked at me and said, "You should find a place to rest first. I'll go call the principal."

He looked very happy.

After Professor Ming left, Dai Chen'an looked at me and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen the professor so happy. He must be very satisfied with you."

"It was just a coincidence," I explained.

“You don’t need to be modest. I’ve been following the professor for several years. Although he acknowledges me, I know I’m not naturally gifted enough.” Dai Chen’an said helplessly, “But the professor can rest assured that he has a student like you.”

I smiled but didn't say anything.

-

late at night.

Professor Ming, Dai Chen'an, and I flew back to Haicheng.

Then I went straight to the hospital.

The doctor was very surprised that I had actually managed to bring Professor Ming here.

After reviewing the CT scan, Professor Ming said, "The situation does look rather serious, and interventional treatment should be initiated as soon as possible."

The doctor exclaimed excitedly, "Professor, I never expected to see you here. As a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine, I would like to take a photo with you."

"The patient is the most important thing right now." Professor Ming put down the CT scan in his hand. "Take me to see the patient."

"Okay." The doctor did not object.

I took a step forward.

Professor Ming said, "Come along with me."

"Thank you, Professor." I said gratefully.

Otherwise, according to the rules, I wouldn't be able to see my mother.

We changed into sterile gowns and went to the ICU.

Seeing my mother like this, I can't bear it.

Professor Ming gave a brief examination and then asked Dai Chen'an to prepare for acupuncture.

I stood to the side.

Professor Ming began administering the acupuncture. The doctor, looking at the equipment, exclaimed in surprise, "Professor, the patient's intracranial pressure has actually decreased!"

"Don't shout." Professor Ming turned to look at me. "See, I wasn't lying to you. From now on, you'll learn from me, understand?"
