What Gu Qiqi did was simply a magical legend!
The boy was full of admiration for Gu Qiqi. “Classmate Qiqi, I’m not interested in the pharmaceutical school anymore. Can I take you as my master?”
Gu Qiqi was eating sour berries and nearly spat them on his face. She hadn’t entered school yet, but someone actually wanted to be her cheap disciple!
“Really, really. Master Qiqi, don’t laugh. Actually, my motive for coming to the pharmaceutical school is different from theirs. They all want to take a great pharmacist as their master so that they can show off when they go out. But I really want to learn skills! No matter who my master is, as long as she can teach me skills, I’m willing to follow her! Master Qiqi, please accept my plea…”
As he spoke, that guy actually knelt down obediently under the tree and prepared to give Gu Qiqi an apprenticeship gift!
Gu Qiqi held her forehead. With a wave of her fair hand, a string of delicious sour berries struck the boy’s knee. He cried out in pain and didn’t kneel down. Instead, he fell to the ground.
He got up in a sorry state and pouted aggrievedly. “Master Qiqi, are you despising me for being ugly… I can undergo plastic surgery…”
Gu Qiqi was speechless.
“Really! Actually, my family runs…” The boy was still trying to persuade Gu Qiqi.
Gu Qiqi waved her hand. “What’s your name?”
“Reporting to Master, I’m called Qiu Qiu!” the boy said proudly.
Gu Qiqi was speechless. “Qiu? Like a ball?” [1. The Hanyu Pinyin of the word ball is qiu in Chinese.]
The boy nodded fiercely. “Master, you’re so awesome and knowledgeable. My name is made of obscure words. Very few people know them! Master, you’re so handsome!”
Gu Qiqi was speechless. You said it yourself. Am I stupid if I still don’t know?
This was the first time in her life that she had been praised like this.
As the two of them spoke, the Millettia Root grew a lot longer. Just as it was about to grow into a vine and climb onto the purple fir tree, two boys walked over. One of the boys was the boy who had secretly played tricks on Qiu Qiu previously and tricked him into falling into the stream to destroy the two stalks of Japanese cornel that he had picked previously.
That boy ran over aggressively and nearly stepped on the thriving chicken blood vines. He shouted shrilly, “Senior Brother, Qiu Qiu is here! Look, the Japanese cornel in his hand was snatched from me! Senior Brother, can you uphold justice for me?!”
Most of the questions in this exam were different, but this boy’s and Qiu Qiu’s question was coincidentally the same! They both had to pick Japanese cornel.
“Hey, why are you slandering me? I was clearly the one who picked this!” Qiu Qiu hugged his Japanese cornel and was furious. “Senior Brother Xiao Bei, don’t believe his nonsense.”
Bei Mingtian was a second-year student from the pharmaceutical school. He was one of the senior brothers in charge of helping the invigilator maintain order in this entrance exam.
“You say you picked it yourself? There isn’t even a spot of mud on your finger. Who are you trying to fool? Look at my hand. Only then do you know what it means to pick herbs! Don’t even think of lying to your senior brother! Hurry up and return the herb to me!”
That boy raised his pair of dirty hands that had mud stained on his fingernails smugly and waved them in front of Beiming Tian. He looked like a male version of a white lotus.
Qiu Qiu hugged the medicinal herb and pouted aggrievedly. He couldn’t help but retreat towards Gu Qiqi’s tree. “I… I didn’t pluck it. My master picked it and gave it to me. It has nothing to do with you, okay?!”
“Where did you get this master from?! Heh heh, you haven’t even gotten into the pharmaceutical school yet. What are you bragging about? Don’t think that I don’t know that you only scored 60 points in the first two tests, right? Even if you scored full marks this time, you won’t be able to enter the pharmaceutical school. Why do you have to steal my achievements and flatter yourself? I scored 80 points for the first two tests. If I have this chance this time, I will definitely be able to be Senior Brother Bei’s junior brother. Wake up a little and don’t block my way!”
