Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

"Mr. Sun,"

"Although I appreciate your kindness, my ambition is not here." He quickly explained, "Curing and saving lives is certainly satisfying, but..." He paused for a moment and continued, "My goal is to pursue something greater."

After hearing this, Sun Renxiang's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon regained his composure. He understood that everyone has his own path and choice.

He respects Yang Ming's decision and wishes him to go further in the future.

After careful consideration, Yang Ming came to a deeper understanding of Mr. Zhou's point of view. Standing in front of the clinic, he said to Sun Renxiang: "I have heard Mr. Zhou say that although medical skills can cure physical illnesses, they are powerless in the face of national difficulties."

His words revealed a firm determination, "I have deeply felt this during these days in the clinic."

"There is a stubborn disease in the world that cannot be cured by medicine, and that is poverty." He continued, "Only when the country is prosperous and strong can the people live and work in peace, the elderly can be taken care of, the children can be educated, and they don't have to worry about livelihood and medical expenses."

"Therefore," he paused, "rather than treating patients one by one, I am more eager to use my medical skills for the construction of the country and contribute to the best of my ability."

These words made Sun Renxiang fall into deep thought.

He knew very well that what Yang Ming said was true, and poverty was indeed a stubborn social disease that was difficult to cure with medicine.

Although he was an expert in medicine and had a kind heart, he also understood that providing medical treatment and medicine for free for a long time was not a long-term solution. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yang Ming, I am very pleased that you have great ambitions. It would be a pity if your talent and gifts were only used in the clinic."

"As you said, poverty is the fundamental problem in this world," he said with emotion. "I hope you can realize your ambitions and make greater contributions to the country and the people."

Since that was the case, Sun Renxiang did not try to persuade him to stay. He knew that Yang Ming had great ambitions and would not be satisfied with just treating patients in the clinic.

"Thank you Mr. Sun for your careful teaching over the years," Yang Ming said respectfully, "If we have a chance in the future, I will definitely pass on your medical skills."

He is well aware that the future of TCM may be full of challenges, but he hopes that TCM can continue to flourish and bring health and hope to more people.

In the following days, Yang Ming did not go to Baicaotang to see patients again.

He was not embarrassed by the conversation with Sun Renxiang, but because he was about to take an important exam in his life - the college entrance examination.

He hopes that by passing this exam, he can open a new chapter for himself and the country.

At this quiet moment, the college entrance examination has not yet become the focus of national attention, and many people have not even heard of this upcoming exam.

Just like the residents in the courtyard, they may know about it, but they don’t take it to heart.

However, for Yang Ming, his two close friends Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen were extremely concerned.

"Yang Ming," they said in unison, "The college entrance examination is coming soon, and we want to cheer you up outside the examination room. What do you think of us wearing cheongsam? I heard that it means 'a successful start' and can bring you good luck."

Chen Xueru seemed particularly enthusiastic about the cheongsam proposal, while Xu Huizhen just glanced at her lightly, but her eyes also revealed her concern for Yang Ming, and she also looked at Yang Ming.

"Thank you, but it's really not necessary." Yang Ming smiled and declined, "I don't want to become the focus of the city during the exam."

He knew very well that although there were no overwhelming reports on the college entrance examination and the so-called "top scorer's quotes" in this era, if two beautiful women, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, were wearing cheongsams and cheering for him outside the examination room, it would undoubtedly attract countless eyes.

"Then... at least let us prepare some food for you?" Chen Xueru suggested, "Huizhen and I can take turns."

“Really, that’s not necessary.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “My exam location is at No. 2 Middle School. It’s very convenient to ride a bicycle there. I don’t need you to bring me food.”

But then, he seemed to have thought of something and waved to the two of them. Xu Huizhen also came over curiously. However, when they heard Yang Ming's next words, their cheeks flushed involuntarily.

"If you really want to cheer for me," Yang Ming's words were interrupted by the two people eagerly.

"No, Yang Ming!"

"This...this is really not allowed!"

Faced with the reactions of the two, Yang Ming could only sigh helplessly.

"It seems that the two ladies don't want me to pass the exam." He pretended to be disappointed and said, "If that's the case, then the previous 'successful start' is just a beautiful wish."

Seeing Yang Ming like this, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen were a little panicked.

Their concern for Yang Ming was genuine, and they naturally didn't want him to feel lost.

So, the two began to discuss in a low voice, trying to find a way to meet Yang Ming's "request" without making them feel too embarrassed.

Yang Ming, Xu Huizhen said in a soft tone, maybe we can reconsider this proposal? Give us some space to adapt to this idea, how about that?

I understand, Yang Ming nodded slightly. After all, this may be sudden news for you and difficult to digest immediately.

At this moment, Chen Xueru bit her lower lip lightly and exchanged glances with Xu Huizhen, who also showed some hesitation and entanglement on her face.

Although the two have already clarified their relationship with Yang Ming, including who will be his nominal partner and who will be involved with his fictitious identity.

Let’s make this decision for now. Yang Ming decided to give them some buffer time. After the college entrance examination results are announced, we will discuss whether this method is appropriate.

The next morning, Yang Mingwan declined Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen's offer to accompany him and rode his bicycle to the examination room alone.

Since he had been here before and was familiar with the environment, he was not unfamiliar with the examination room.

It is worth mentioning that at the entrance of the examination room, a row of members of the Military Control Commission were standing by with guns in hand to ensure order and safety in the examination room. This was not to prevent cheating, but to prevent any possible accidents.

After all, this is the first college entrance examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is of great significance and no mistakes can be made.

Yang Ming showed his admission ticket and after a simple check, he successfully entered the examination room. He took out his stationery and began to close his eyes to rest and prepare for the next exam.

The exam bell rang and the invigilator began to distribute the test papers.

Yang Ming found that the test questions were relatively easy in terms of difficulty and content.

During this period, in addition to seeing patients in the clinic, he also went to the library to borrow a large number of books to increase his knowledge reserves.

Therefore, he answered the questions with confidence and completed the test paper quickly and accurately. The next two days were exactly the same.
