CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 259

At the welcome banquet in the evening, Wu Hongfei and his apprentices all came over. Mr. Mo was the happiest, laughing all night with his mouth wide open. He also heard about what happened in the corridor during the day, but simply laughed it off, thinking that young people should resolve their own issues, as long as the girl wouldn’t suffer any loss.

Wu Hongfei and the others didn’t pay much attention either. Young people have their own ways of having fun, so he didn’t interfere with those affairs. With the hospital keeping him busy, he had no free time to concern himself with the petty matters of the younger generation.

Mo Junhua’s treatment was demoted by three levels; he lost the privilege to spread a mat and sleep in the bedroom at night and was chased by Lan Tian to sleep on the sofa in the outer room.

Mo Junhua kept looking back every three steps, trying to be cute and looking pitifully at Lan Tian, hoping she would change her mind. Unfortunately, Lan Tian had a heart of stone and coldly sneered, covering herself with sheets on the bed, turning off the light to sleep.

No luck, Mo Junhua squatted by the screen door, dawdling but not leaving. After a while, seeing that the heartless girl had no intention of letting him onto the bed, he reluctantly went to sleep on the sofa.

Through the screen curtains, he listened to Lan Tian’s long and regular breaths, feeling as if they were touching his very heart, making it itch unbearably. Mo Junhua glanced over and let out a silent long sigh.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he stared at the moonlight outside the window, then turned back to look at the person behind the screen on the bed. He couldn’t live this way, staying awake until midnight, braving the risk of being beaten to death to crawl into the bed and hold Lan Tian. Only then did his empty heart feel fulfilled. It was a torment, holding the soft and adorable girl without being able to do anything more, he was worse than a beast.

In the morning, he was beaten up by Lan Tian while pinned down on the bed. Mo Junhua dodged left and right, taking the opportunity to stir trouble and take advantage.

After breakfast, Mr. Mo went to Ji Family’s old mansion to treat a patient, accompanied by Wu Hongfei. Wu Kun and Sun Hai went to work at the hospital. Bai Qingqing was still a senior at the medical university in Beijing. She was doing her internship at the affiliated hospital of the medical university.

Mr. Mo had originally arranged for Lan Tian to attend the same medical university. However, due to her strong opposition, she was transferred to Jing University. Mr. Mo had already completed all the necessary admissions procedures, and Lan Tian just needed to go there with the introduction letter.

Wu Zongyu took a day off specifically to send Lan Tian to school. As Lan Tian was entering as a transfer student, according to Jing University’s regulations, those who didn’t show up after the semester started were regarded as having withdrawn automatically. Mid-term transfers were not allowed, but Lan Tian was given special consideration since her main purpose in Beijing was to treat Grandpa Ji Feng, and everything else was secondary.

Lan Tian didn’t care whether she got into Jing University or not. Any university would do, as Mr. Mo had arranged everything for her, and she wouldn’t push it away. This was a big matter, and Mo Junhua, of course, wouldn’t miss it. If possible, he wanted to be involved in all aspects of Lan Tian’s life.

The three of them didn’t speak all the way. Mo Junhua was resting with his eyes closed, Wu Zongyu glanced at the pair through the rearview mirror, and Lan Tian looked out the window, trying to find buildings she recognized from her previous life. By the time they arrived at Jing University’s gates, she hadn’t seen any familiar buildings.

Truth be told, if Wu Zongyu hadn’t been with them, Lan Tian wouldn’t have been able to enter the gates of Jing University. The security guards at the gate ignored her, but became very enthusiastic as soon as they saw Wu Zongyu, letting them in without even asking questions.

This world judges you by your appearance.

With Mr. Mo’s introduction letter, they first went to the principal’s office. The content of the letter was simple: it asked the principal to accept his granddaughter. Nothing about Lan Tian’s academic performance or character was mentioned. After reading the letter, the principal smiled and welcomed the three of them, got to know the basics about Lan Tian, and after having some tea, the three of them left the principal’s office somewhat bemusedly and then went to the Academic Affairs office. The Director of Academic Affairs, probably instructed by the principal, asked Lan Tian with a smile, "Which department do you want to study in?"

"Archaeology." This department was chosen by Lan Tian after careful consideration during high school. She had planned out her four years of university life, originally wanting to choose Classical Literature, but not finding that major, she settled for Archaeology instead.

Students in archaeology often follow professors on field excavations for months at a time, which suited Lan Tian perfectly.

Wu Zongyu was completely baffled by Lan Tian’s choice. You, a medical student, are going to study archaeology? Wu Zongyu remembered Lin Guohao once mentioning this to him. Lan Tian, while in high school in Shanghai, clearly excelled more in sciences than in liberal arts, yet she insisted on the latter. Lan Tian had many such rebellious acts, and if her man Mo Junhua had no opinions about it, he, an outsider, certainly shouldn’t object either. But he still felt it was a pity for Lan Tian, such a good talent being wasted.
