Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg
Chapter 1046: Capture Her
"Great, let me know when you’re coming tomorrow. I’ll be waiting at home." Mr. Huang started to feel pleased and was very grateful to Jiang Xue. Although Jiang Xue was self-taught in her medical practice and it was her first time doing it, ever since he took the medicine she prescribed, his confidence had grown substantially.
He believed his illness could surely be cured.
Beside him, Mr. Lan was quite surprised to see Jiang Xue taking a pulse and diagnosing illness, saying with a smile, "Jiang Xue, who would have thought! So young, not only do you have great calligraphy skills but you can also diagnose illnesses. That’s quite impressive."
"That’s not all!" Mr. Huang laughed upon hearing this, saying, "You don’t know; she can also play the guqin. Yesterday at Nan University’s anniversary celebration, she performed High Mountain and Flowing Water beautifully on the guqin. With her level, she absolutely surpasses Level 10."
"What a pity I couldn’t make it yesterday. I wonder when I’ll have another chance to hear Jiang Xue’s music."
"No worries, Jiang Xue has a few more years at Nan University. At next year’s anniversary, we can have her perform another piece."
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but blush, wanting to explain. But upon reconsideration, she decided against it, thinking they might not believe her even if she explained. Moreover, she didn’t want to scare them, considering that someone who learns to play an instrument in a few days is nothing short of extraordinary.
After wrapping things up, Jiang Xue sat for a while at Principal Huang’s home before standing to say goodbye. Principal Huang personally escorted her out, saying to her, "Jiang Xue, the final exams are coming up soon; you must get prepared."
"Principal, don’t worry, I’ll do my best."
Jiang Xue understood Principal Huang’s intention because she was a transfer student; if she didn’t revise thoroughly, there was a high possibility of failing the finals.
Having left the principal’s house, Jiang Xue noticed there was still plenty of time and decided not to rush home but instead headed to the school’s library. The library was quite crowded on a Saturday.
Jiang Xue carried her books, intending to find an isolated corner. However, after searching for a long time without success, she was about to borrow the books to take home when a figure appeared before her, greeting her with a smile, "Jiang Xue, you’re here, there’s an empty spot over at my side."
Jiang Xue looked up and found it was Lan Chen, so she shook her head, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I’ll take the books home to read."
After saying this, Jiang Xue walked straight to the librarian without looking back, registered the books, and left the school.
However, unbeknownst to her, Liu Meimei was also in the library. Seeing Jiang Xue leave, she immediately informed Luo Weiwei.
Upon hearing that Jiang Xue had come to school, Luo Weiwei felt delighted and immediately called her cousin, Si Ye. Last night, she shared her suspicions about Jiang Xue with Si Ye. To be fair, Si Ye shouldn’t have believed her.
But on that day, he suffered a loss at Jiang Xue’s hands, and with recent surveillance on her, he had witnessed how she dealt with those robbers Liu Meimei had hired to target her.
According to his men who were shadowing Jiang Xue, her skills seemed ghostly in simplicity. No ordinary person could execute such moves, so he and Luo Weiwei decided to test Jiang Xue once more. If she truly wasn’t human but rather a monster, they would report her to the police and have her arrested; or they would hire a master to catch her.
Thus, they planned to find an opportunity to ambush Jiang Xue on the road. However, Luo Weiwei also knew that Jiang Xue usually went straight home after classes, leaving them with limited chances.
