A Whiff of the Old Doctor's Aura

When Ji Chuxing woke up, she saw the result of the challenge posted under the Qihang class thread. If she could score first place, the entire Qihang class would have to admit defeat. Otherwise, the whole school would have to apologize to the Qihang class.

Feeling well-rested, Ji Chuxing took a sip from her jelly snack and told Zhao Feifei and Lu Xing, "Just wait and get ready to lose big time."

Everyone felt reassured. They trusted every word Ji Shen said.

When Bo Yanchen came to pick up Ji Chuxing today, he noticed that the girl, who usually was either alone or accompanied by the Lu family boy, a short-haired girl, and another boy, now had a group of classmates surrounding her. Moreover, these classmates were looking at her with admiration?

Indeed, it was like that. These were students who had seen the campus forum video and were in awe of Ji Chuxing. They hadn't paid much attention to her before, but now, seeing her in person, they acted like a group of little fans meeting their idol.

"Ji Shen, how do you study so well?"

"Are you already self-studying college courses? My teacher said you use advanced math concepts when solving problems."

"Ji Shen, can I come to Class 16 to ask you questions in the future?"

Ji Chuxing lifted her chin, feeling quite pleased.

One of them particularly hit the mark: "Our class has lots of snacks!"

Ji Chuxing nodded calmly.

The people around her cheered, "Great!"

Bo Yanchen watched and smiled. The second young master rummaged through the small snack cabinet in the car and picked out a grape-flavored jelly and a box of milk tablets.

When Ji Chuxing opened the car door and got in, the jelly was handed to her.

She blinked, a bit dazed.

Bo Yanchen, charmed by her cuteness, softened his voice, "A reward for my Star."

Ji Chuxing: "..."

She sucked on the jelly and slumped in the seat, looking like a little salted fish.

"What's wrong?"

After slurping down most of the jelly, Ji Chuxing said with a hint of regret, "School is no fun."

She wanted to make money.

She wanted to do live streaming and experiments!

Bo Yanchen: "..."

The little girl still had such a strong aversion to school.

That wouldn't do; she had to finish high school at the very least. Bo Yanchen felt a pang of heartache, but he didn't show it. He comforted her, "Not happy? How about taking some time off and going out for a change of scenery?"

Ji Chuxing shook her head.

She had promised Teacher Ouyang to participate in the International Math Olympiad, and she needed to start preparing right after the mid-term exams. She couldn't leave.

Bo Yanchen felt a pang of heartache: "Then, shall Brother take you somewhere during the winter break?"

Ji Chuxing's eyes lit up, "Anywhere?"

Looking into those bright eyes, Bo Yanchen wished he could give her the whole world. But he still wanted to subtly encourage her, "If Star improves more on her exams, there will be other rewards too."

Ji Chuxing glanced at him lightly, "Let's start by fulfilling the reward for the next exam first."

Hmph, the little candy company, endless candies, and milk tablets... she remembered.

Bo Yanchen: "..."

Fine, he remembered. No matter how she did, he would reward her.

On the way back, as expected, Ji Chuxing leaned against Bo Yanchen's shoulder and fell asleep, completely unguarded.

The second young master felt both helpless and tender-hearted.

The child was working so hard in her senior year!

Look at her, always sleep-deprived. It seemed she needed more supplements.

He adjusted her position slightly. Ji Chuxing was sleeping comfortably, enjoying the warm and reassuring scent of Bo Yanchen. It reminded her of the old doctor from her past life.

The old doctor was the person she was closest to and trusted the most.

Perhaps... that was why she trusted Bo Yanchen so much?

With a man's slightly higher body temperature, leaning against him in the air-conditioned car, she slept soundly.

As Bo Yanchen adjusted her position, Ji Chuxing unconsciously rubbed against him, her face rosy from sleep.

This gentle rub made the second young master instantly feel something soft and light brush against his chin.

Unbelievably soft.

Ji Chuxing smacked her lips.

The sound was almost inaudible, but being so close, how could he not hear it?

He froze, an uncontrollable surge of agitation rising within him, then crashing through.

But the little girl was oblivious, sleeping soundly.

The second young master fought an internal battle for a moment, gradually calming down.

He calculated the time; the little girl would only turn 18 next year.

The little girl, not yet 18, didn't realize that some people were slowly turning into wolves. She just thought something was odd when giving the second young master acupuncture at night.

Like, he had a strange smile.

Could it possibly be that his facial muscles were affected by toxins?

Standing nearby, Fang He refrained from saying, "Sir, your smile when looking at Miss Ji is off."

Of course, if Young Master Wei were here, he would have a very accurate term to describe it—flirting recklessly.

And he might even run away with his sister, exclaiming, "He's a big bad wolf!"

But Ji Chuxing, who was she? She would only think that the second young master's facial muscles were having issues and would immediately give him a round of silver needles and a pill.

"Could it possibly be that the toxins are affecting your facial muscles? Here, try this pill."

Fang He: *pfft*

Sorry, he wasn't laughing.

Fang He looked up and walked away.

Bo Yanchen sighed softly: "..."

---

The next morning, Ji Chuxing arrived at school early.

Before reaching Class 16, she saw Teachers Wu, Ouyang, and the teachers of math, physics, chemistry, and biology standing at the door.

"I was the first one here, I have a chemistry question, we discussed it with Ji yesterday!"

"You guys are all overreacting, Ji is going to the International Math Olympiad, and she's been too busy to discuss problems with me for days!"

"This is our math department's first time seeking advice from Ji, can't we make an exception?"

"Ji is most interested in physics, okay!"

"I don't care, we need to follow the order of who came first!"

"But what about familiarity? Who among us has known Ji the longest?"

"Tsk, I started teaching Ji biology as soon as she transferred here!"

...

The dozens of bewildered faces in Class 16 watched the teachers blocking the classroom door, staying silent like chickens.

Ji Chuxing covered her face and turned around, heading out of the school gate.

Bo Yanchen's car hadn't left yet, and he saw the little girl dart back into the car as if she was dodging something strange.

Bo Yanchen raised an eyebrow: "Forgot something?"

Ji Chuxing, serious, said, "I remembered I have to go to Zijingshan Pine Forest Villa for a medical consultation today. I'm taking the day off."

So...

The teachers who were almost arguing at the door of Class 16 ended up waiting for Ji Chuxing all day, but she never showed up.
