Chapter 338: Chapter 331: Eating Other’s Flesh

Tang Yuxin never thought she would catch the eye of Dean Tao one day. In her previous life, she had taken a few courses from Dean Tao. Unfortunately, she couldn’t attend them in person and only watched video lectures. At that time she used to think, attending even one course taught by Dean Tao would benefit her greatly for the rest of her life, and that was the main reason why she insisted on applying to the medical department of Qing University. Apart from it being the best medical university in the country, the main thing is that they have Dean Tao, a major authority. Although Dean Tao doesn’t usually teach students, she could frequently hear his lectures.

This alone exposed her to loads of valuable knowledge.

But to her surprise, in this life, she found herself as a student of Dean Tao.

The majority of students accepted by Dean Tao are undergraduates and postgraduates, and there are very few high school students. This must be an exception. And so, amidst a group of postgrad students, she became Dean Tao’s student, the one with the lowest academic qualifications and least experience.

She started becoming busy. Apart from studying, she also served as an assistant to Dean Tao and participated in several large surgeries. She was no stranger to such surgeries. In her past ten years as a doctor, she considered herself one of the best in the hospital. All the surgeries she performed were clean and precise, and there wasn’t a single accident during the ten-year span.

So, she was hugely confident in her skills and was not ready to accept being inferior to anyone. Even now, regardless of anything else, she still believes that her achievement in medicine distinguishes her from others and puts her above them.

But it wasn’t until she had participated in several of Dean Tao’s surgeries that she realized that there was still much she needed to learn in medicine and that she was far behind.

She thought she was already good enough, but in front of Dean Tao, she felt insufficient.

She had to follow Dean Tao while also stockpiling disinfectants whenever she could. She had already stored quite a lot, which should be enough for now.

One day, while grabbing a meal from the school’s large cafeteria, she ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish. She usually only eats these two kinds of meat. With her days being so full and exhausting, she felt hungrier than ever.

As soon as she took a bite of the pork rib, a sudden smack startled her, causing her to drop the pork rib back into her meal box. Luckily, it fell into the box. Otherwise, what a waste it would’ve been.

The entire dining hall went silent, and everyone’s gaze turned towards a table not too far away.

A girl’s hand was still in the air; the boy sitting across her looked completely stunned, a large swelling on his face clearly showing where the slap had landed.

Tang Yuxin picked up the pork rib again and took another bite.

The girl grabbed a lunch box from the table and threw it directly at the boy’s face, dumping all its contents on him. A gasp echoed through the dining hall almost instantly.

“Heh, Zhang Yong’an, you are broke, yet you still want a girlfriend. I don’t need your money. You said you didn’t know it was my birthday, you claimed Christmas is a foreign festival, and for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you only got me a piece of mooncake, and we even had to split it. I brought some fruit, and you said it was cold and not good for me, but you ate it yourself. Every time we had meals, you took my meat saying girls shouldn’t eat too much meat because it makes them fat. I am still growing; I am not a rabbit. All you want is free meals, isn’t it?”

“If anyone agrees to be your girlfriend, she must be blind. Anyone who marries you is blind at heart.”

“Alright, you want meat? ” She acted mockingly, “I’ll find it for you right now, you enjoy. But I’d like to see how you’re going to trick other girls into giving you their food and meat after this.” She turned around, and upon noticing Tang Yuxin not far away, she walked up to her and stood before her.

“Can I borrow your meal? I’ll make it up to you later.”

“No need, I lost my appetite anyway. It’s all yours.” Tang Yuxin stood up, genuinely having no intention to eat anymore.

“Thank you,” the girl replied politely, the rage of dealing with the stingy boy having transformed her from a lady into a shrew.

The girl picked up the lunch box and promptly smacked it on Zhang Yong’an’s face. Zhang Yong’an just sat there, stunned, as a piece of meat fell off and stopped on his chin, refusing to fall off.

“Look, here’s the meat. All meat. Enjoy,” the girl sneered.

After straightening her clothes, she walked out proudly, leaving others in the dining hall bursting into laughter once they realized what had happened.

Zhang Yong’an eventually became a famous figure at Qing University.

Stealing fruit from his girlfriend, making excuses not to give presents, and even taking the meat out of his girlfriend’s meal. Only a significant level of stinginess could lead to such behavior.

As the girl said, anyone who agrees to be his girlfriend must be blind at heart. Thinking about how stingy he is now, what will he be like in the future?

Would he now eat his girlfriend’s food, then later ask her to pay his tuition?

Not every woman is foolish, not every girl is gullible,

Besides, Zhang Yong’an is not even handsome. At most, he’s just an ordinary passerby in the university, easily forgotten after one glance.

Tang Yuxin bought a few more bottles of disinfectant and stored them in her four-courtyard house. She shut the door and glanced at the calendar—it was almost the new year, and SARS was coming right after.

She wondered if her preparations would be sufficient.

But regardless of how prepared she was, what was coming would eventually arrive, and she would have to face it head-on.

“Here, have a bite,” Qin Ziyi held the Baozi to Tang Yuxin’s mouth. Their relationship was pretty stable—perhaps there weren’t many dramatic moments or obstacles, but it was serene and long-lasting, like a gentle stream.

Tang Yuxin actually liked this kind of life.

She took the Baozi and took a bite. It was from that famous Baozi place. It turns out he liked it too.

“Ziyi…” Tang Yuxin put down the Baozi. There was something she wanted to ask him.
