Chapter 100 – Your Matters Are All Important

Jian Mei was very excited about the opportunity to intern at the hospital.

Although Professor Lu Xi’s question was somewhat strange, he still answered it reluctantly. After all, he had already received many good things, so he could overlook this bit of oddity.

On his way back, he encountered Yunshi.

Yunshi was sitting in the garden reading a book. When he saw Jian Mei return, he asked, “Went to see my grandfather?”

Jian Mei didn’t know how he knew, but he nodded obediently.

Yunshi turned a page in his book and asked, “What did my grandfather say to you?”

“…”

Jian Mei hesitated for a moment, unsure how to tell Yunshi about the matter his grandfather asked him about his feelings.

However, Jian Mei chose to share the happiest news, “Professor Lu said I can intern at the hospital! Maybe I’ll have the chance to work there in the future.”

His smile contrasted sharply with Yunshi’s indifference.

Yunshi silently turned another page in his book and said, “You’re happy to go to the hospital?”

Jian Mei hesitated, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s not as good as you imagine there,” Yunshi recalled the expressions of the people at home, “It’s not suitable for you.”

Jian Mei walked up to him and sat down on the nearby chair.

“I know a bit about hospitals too,” Jian Mei sat on the chair, looking at the sunset in front of him, and said softly, “I’m not completely clueless, but if I want to learn medicine and pursue a medical career, I don’t have a better choice.”

Yunshi didn’t refute.

Jian Mei glanced at Yunshi and asked, “What about you? Will you intern at the hospital?”

Yunshi replied, “I don’t like studying medicine, and I don’t want to work at the hospital.”

But Jian Mei often saw Yunshi reading medical books. He knew that Yunshi actually enjoyed reading medical books, but he seemed to dislike hospitals. Why was that? Jian Mei didn’t want to make a judgment, but he still spoke up, “Interning as a doctor in a hospital and getting a qualification certificate doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll work in a hospital in the future. As long as the intention is good, it can help people, isn’t that enough?”

Yunshi listened to Jian Mei’s words and was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had heard someone talk about the purpose of being a doctor like this. In fact, most of the healing divine officials became doctors simply because doctors had a high social status in this country. He hadn’t expected Jian Mei to say this!

Yunshi paused for a moment and smiled, “You’re still the same as before, always so different.”

Jian Mei was puzzled, “Huh?”

“It’s nothing…” Lu Xingwang closed the book, looked at the setting sun across the river, and sighed softly, “Maybe this is a good thing after all.”

The appearance of some different people might just bring some new hope to this world.

……..

In the evening, after Jian Mei returned, he called Lu Xingwang.

When he mentioned the aloe vera gel, he asked hopefully, “How did it get filmed?”

Lu Xingwang replied, “Caught on camera. Did it cause you trouble?”

“Not really.” Jian Mei smiled shyly, feeling a bit happy, he indirectly let out a sigh of relief, “Many people who wanted to return the product before, now want to buy it again because you’ve used it too.”

Lu Xingwang could hear the happiness in his tone, which was exactly what he wanted. He knew the rules of this world, so within his power, he wanted to prevent Jian Mei from feeling unfairness and inferiority due to these rules.

“But I have some good news to share.” Jian Mei lay on the bed, feeling excited. He always wanted to share his joy with Lu Xingwang first. “I’ve been recommended by Professor Lu Xi, so I should be able to work as a doctor’s assistant at the hospital.”

Lu Xingwang asked, “Are you happy?”

“A bit.” Jian Mei smiled, “You know it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

Lu Xingwang’s gaze shifted slightly, “Which hospital will you be assigned to?”

Jian Mei scratched his head, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Lu Xingwang said, “The assigned hospital may not necessarily be in the capital. When you graduate, if you go by the allocation, you may be sent to another province.”

Jian Mei just remembered this, “Really?”

As the Crown Prince, Lu Xingwang had a basic understanding of various industries, “Well, although there are many hospitals in the capital, the list of medical personnel is generally sufficient. They have a hereditary system, and they usually have people recommended to come in. If you are allocated, you may be sent to another province.”

After listening, Jian Mei fell silent for a moment and then asked, “Does that mean I will be far away from you?”

Lu Xingwang responded with a soft “Hmm.”

“Well, that won’t do. I can’t be too far from you,” Jian Mei murmured softly.

Lu Xingwang’s fingertips moved slightly, and a flicker of hope, tinged with a hint of joy, rose in the Crown Prince’s heart. He inquired, “Why is that?”

Jian Mei said, “It’s inconvenient for your follow-up appointments.”

“…,” Lu Xingwang fell silent.

“And,” Jian Mei paused for a moment, then added softly, “It’s easier for me to see you if you’re closer.”

And I always want to see you.

Though implicit, Lu Xingwang seemed to understand it already. A faint smile graced the Crown Prince’s lips as he softly replied, “Hmm.”

“Jian Mei.”

In the quiet of the night, he whispered his name softly, murmuring, “Me too.”

……

Jian Mei sat cross-legged in the quiet, as if he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat. Suddenly, he longed to see him. He thought about the upcoming school festival and wondered if Lu Xingwang would come…

Jian Mei tentatively asked, “Have you been busy lately?”

Lu Xingwang replied truthfully, “Pretty much, as usual.”

Jian Mei couldn’t quite gauge it, so he simply nodded. “Oh, okay.”

Lu Xingwang asked, “Is there anything?”

“Not really anything major,” Jian Mei explained subconsciously, “Um… it’s not very important.”

He was afraid of bothering Lu Xingwang because he knew the Crown Prince’s tasks were probably more important, so he didn’t want to disturb him with his trivial matters.

Lu Xingwang simply responded lightly.

For some reason, Jian Mei felt a twinge of disappointment in his heart, but he knew it was his own doing by saying it wasn’t important, so he swallowed the bitterness.

…

Two days later,

The school festival’s sports day officially began.

The main purpose of the school festival’s sports day is to facilitate interaction between students and their families. Therefore, on the day of the school festival, many students’ families attend.

The SA class is no exception.

Nan Feng’s father came, and compared to Nan Feng, who is usually lively, his father looked very serious. Ying’s parents are a very beautiful couple. Her mother looks completely different from Ying, very dignified and elegant, and her smile is beautiful. Xiwu Heng’s sister came, a woman who looks very cold. Yunshi’s two older brothers came, looking very handsome and mature. According to Yunshi, the two of them are already very famous healing priests.

One of them even walked over when he saw Jian Mei.

Lu Yuncheng reached out and said, “Hello, I’m Lu Yuncheng.”

He was a very serious-looking man, and Jian Mei help but feel nervous. He quickly reached out his hand and greeted him respectfully, “Hello.”

“My grandfather told me that starting next semester, you will come to the hospital to be my personal assistant. He said you’re very good and have great potential,” Lu Yuncheng said, “I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

If Jian Mei inquired more about the Lu family, he would know that being an assistant to Lu Yuncheng is something many healing priests dream of. This eldest son of the Lu family possesses exceptional talent. The Lu family, being a renowned medical family, has a significant influence even within the palace, where almost all royal physicians are affiliated with them. Therefore, the abilities of Lu Yunshi, including what he has access to, are the lifelong dreams of many healing priests.

Jian Mei nodded gently, “I’ll do my best.”

Lu Yuncheng withdrew his hand and glanced at Jian Mei a few more times.

Seeing that Jian Mei could face him without fear or panic, he somewhat believed his grandfather’s words – this Jian Mei might indeed bring some surprises.

…..

At the school festival’s sports event venue.

Jian Mei didn’t expect that these students’ competitions would include more than just running and high jumping; there was even archery! The students, however, seemed accustomed to it, especially Nan Feng, Ying, and the others, who signed up for every event.

When the students from the SA class appeared in their exclusive area, the eyes of the whole school would converge here. Not for anything else, but because both the students and parents here are exceptional. Parents want to curry favor, and students want to make connections. However, amidst this lively group, Jian Mei seemed a bit out of place because he was alone.

Conversations inevitably increased:

“Why is that kid alone?”

“I heard he’s a commoner.”

“Hahaha, could it be that his parents are too embarrassed to come?”

“How pitiful…”

Friendly or scrutinizing glances were cast over, each one feeling like a needle pricking, causing him a slight discomfort. Jian Mei originally paid no mind, but the many discussions unconsciously reminded him of his parents. His parents were always busy before, unable to attend various activities, and at that time, he felt the same sense of loneliness.

…….

Almost all the students around him had people by their side, but the seat next to him was empty.

Actually, he didn’t have any family in this world to begin with, so it wasn’t anything unusual. It just made him feel a bit lonely and homesick at times.

Suddenly,

As Jian Mei was lost in thought, there was a sound of someone sitting down beside him. He unexpectedly looked up and saw someone whose appearance had changed slightly, but it was the same appearance-changing potion as the one Lu Xingwang used when they went shopping together.

The Crown Prince sat down beside him and whispered, “Did I make it in time?”

Jian Mei looked at him in surprise, unable to say anything for a moment.

Lu Xingwang said, “The school festival is a once-a-year event for the school. How could you not tell me about such a grand occasion?”

There was no blame, just a gentle inquiry.

Jian Mei looked at the Crown Prince with round eyes and whispered, “I, I was afraid of delaying your work because it seems… Anyway, it’s just a sports meet, it’s not as important as your matters.”

Lu Xingwang’s eyes flickered, and he reached out, his slender and fair hand appearing in front of Jian Mei’s eyes. Then, he lightly flicked him.

Jian Mei didn’t expect the Crown Prince to do this, like a punishment for him, and the unguarded Jian Mei could only cover his head in grievance and pain.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

As Jian Mei bowed his head, he heard the deep voice of the man beside him, “Your matters are all important.”
