The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 101 Facing the pit he dug, Su Chenjin waved his hand. Chen Fangyu went to Jiangda for the fourth time.
Gu Xinliang stood in front of the office window, his sharp eyes looking through the transparent glass at the bustling students on the Jiangnan University campus outside the window.

Their figures appear particularly active in the afternoon sun, like a group of cheerful elves flying freely in the ocean of knowledge.

However, this harmonious picture did not stir any ripples in Gu Xinliang's heart.

He suddenly turned around, picked up the phone, and his expression became serious.

He spoke in a stern voice, and although his voice was not loud, it revealed an authority that could not be ignored.

"Xiao Jin, your skipping class this time is no joke."

Gu Xinliang's eyes were full of disappointment and blame, just like an elder blaming his junior with great resentment.

Su Chenjin was stunned for a moment, her face pale. She knew that her behavior was indeed inappropriate, but... Gu Xinliang sighed slightly, and his expression eased a little. He continued: "I know you have been busy with the medical clinic recently. This is indeed a good opportunity to practice and exercise your abilities. But this cannot be a reason for you to skip class."

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing into Xiaojin's heart.

She felt a pain, but at the same time she understood that this was Director Gu's expectation and concern for her.

Gu Xinliang continued, "I understand your thoughts. You want to train yourself in practice, which is a good idea. But you have to know that study and career are equally important. You can't give up your studies because of temporary gains and losses. Negotiating a contract is important, but merits and demerits cannot be offset. Your behavior of skipping classes cannot be ignored."

Su Chenjin originally thought that what happened today was just a small episode, like the trivialities in life, which could be easily put aside and not taken seriously.

After all, in her opinion, mistakes are inevitable, and this negligence seems insignificant to her.

However, when she faced Gu Xinliang's indifferent and cold voice, her heart sank suddenly, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

Gu Xinliang, the dean of the college who is known for his rigor and impartiality, always has a warm smile on his face, like a tolerant elder, giving people a warm and reassuring feeling.

But at this moment, his face was like a cold piece of iron, without any expression, and his sharp eyes were like two sharp swords, and his cold voice pierced her heart.

Su Chenjin felt an unprecedented pressure, as if he was standing on the top of a towering mountain with a deep abyss under his feet, and he would fall down if he was not careful.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heartbeat. She knew that panicking and making excuses at this moment would only make things worse.

So she tried to calm down, put the phone gently to her ear, and tried her best to make her voice sound calm and confident.

Then, she carefully took out a document from her schoolbag. It was handed to her personally by Dean Chen Fangyu, and it was densely covered with various data and instructions.

This document is like a life-saving straw in her hand, and it is also the only weapon she can use to defend herself today.

She gently opened the document and read it carefully page by page. Every word and every number contained endless power, giving her courage and confidence.

As he read more, Su Chenjin's mood gradually calmed down.

She found that the document not only recorded her work content and progress in detail, but also included some details and highlights that she herself had not noticed.

These highlights are the strong evidence she can use to refute Gu Xinliang's accusations.

Su Chenjin took a deep breath, raised his head, and met Gu Xinliang's sharp accusation.

She knew that the following conversation would be a fierce contest.

Gu Xinliang sat in the spacious and bright office. The sunlight from the window shone on the desk, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was carrying a heavy burden, and his whole body looked unusually heavy.

He didn't know that at this moment, the outside world was experiencing a violent storm that seemed to be sweeping everything away.

He looked at the blank employment contract on the table, his heart full of doubts and worries.

"Student Su Chenjin, where on earth have you been?" he murmured to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of anxiety in his voice.

The pen in his hand tapped unconsciously on the table, making a crisp and rhythmic sound, just like a reflection of his inner anxiety.

Today is the most important day in the history of Jiangnan University. The signing ceremony of long-term employment contracts for outstanding students of the Medical School will be held in the school auditorium.

And Su Chenjin, as Gu Xinliang's favorite student, not only has excellent academic performance, but also possesses extremely high medical talent and enthusiasm.

However, at this critical moment, she disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Gu Xinliang took out his cell phone and wanted to call Su Chenjin to ask about the situation. However, when he opened the address book, he found that there were no missed calls or text messages.

He tried to dial Su Chenjin's number, but a cold, robotic female voice came from the other end of the line: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."

The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, as if an invisible force was quietly approaching.

He vaguely felt that this matter did not seem simple, and there seemed to be deeper conspiracies and disputes hidden behind it.

However, at this moment, Gu Xinliang did not know that Su Chenjin was in a thrilling crisis.

The Jiangnan medicinal materials contract, which was of vital importance to Gu Xinliang and Qin Medical Clinic, actually involved a series of conspiracies and disputes.

And Su Chenjin is the central figure in this storm.

Indeed, Su Chenjin, the girl who is always a little naughty and smart in the eyes of everyone, is now lying leisurely on the ancient and sturdy locust tree beside Zhichun Lake in Jiangda Lanyuan.

This locust tree is like a kind elder, using its lush crown to create a cool little world for Su Chenjin.

The sunlight shines through the layers of locust leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of poetry to her leisurely time.

She closed her eyes comfortably, feeling the gentle breeze brushing across her cheeks, listening to the birds singing in the distance and the laughter of her classmates.

Her heart was filled with peace and contentment, and the whole world was still for her.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Gu Xinliang's serious and concerned voice suddenly sounded in my ears, breaking the silence.

His voice, with a bit of anxiety and dissatisfaction, came clearly into Su Chenjin's ears through the receiver of the mobile phone.

"Student Su Chenjin, I didn't see you at Jiangda all day today. You didn't show up five minutes before class and didn't even call to ask for leave. Do you think about your mistakes now?"

There was obvious blame in Gu Xinliang's tone.

Su Chenjin was startled by his voice and opened his eyes suddenly.

Only then did she realize that she had forgotten that she had classes today.

She quickly climbed down from the locust tree, picked up her phone and checked the time.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Xinliang's voice flowed like a clear spring, and it was clearly transmitted to Su Chenjin's ears through the receiver.

"Student Xiaojin, you must remember that Jiangda's courses are not only an accumulation of knowledge, but also the cornerstone of your future life."

Gu Xinliang's voice was full of seriousness and earnestness, as if he was standing in front of Su Chenjin at this moment, staring at her with his deep eyes, afraid that she would miss any important information.

Gu Xinliang's understanding of Su Chenjin can be said to be deep-rooted.

He knew clearly that this girl was incredibly smart and had a very quick mind. No matter whether it was a complex mathematical problem or a profound philosophical theory, she could grasp it quickly and even apply it to other situations.

However, her intelligence is often accompanied by a lazy temperament. She seems to have little interest in anything and always gives people a feeling of "being able to do things with ease but not willing to go all out".

Gu Xinliang knew very well that empty preaching was far from enough to make Su Chenjin truly appreciate the importance of the course.

Therefore, he decided to adopt a more vivid and figurative approach in the hope of leaving a deep impression on her mind.

However, Gu Xinliang was worried that his actions would backfire.

After all, Su Chenjin is still young, which may make her rebellious.

Thinking of this, Gu Xinliang couldn't help but sigh and began to think about a gentler way of education.

He slowed down his speech, as if he was carefully brewing a cup of fragrant tea, and every word revealed the kindness and gentleness in his heart.

He began his narration, and all the little details of his college years bloomed in Su Chenjin's mind like colorful fireworks.

He skillfully used those vivid stories like a key to gently open the door for Su Chenjin to think about the significance of university courses.

His voice seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, flowing slowly in Su Chenjin's heart with wisdom and warmth.

Those stories, like seeds, quietly took root and sprouted in Su Chenjin's heart. While she enjoyed the stories, she also slowly realized Gu Xinliang's good intentions.

However, Gu Xinliang did not stop there.

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes, like a fox planning a brilliant move.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smug smile, and spoke again: "Xiao Jin," his voice was low and magnetic, "as long as you agree to attend all your classes at Jiangda, I will agree to take you to the border to find your brother during your summer vacation!

This sentence was like a gust of wind, instantly stirring up huge waves in Su Chenjin's heart.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her clear eyes flashing with surprise and expectation.

This proposal was undoubtedly a huge temptation for her.

She had long dreamed of going to the border to look for her brother in person, but the constraints of reality always prevented her from realizing this wish.

Gu Xinliang's words were like a ray of light, illuminating her way forward.

She seemed to have seen the vast sky, magnificent mountains and rivers of the frontier and the smiling faces of her loved ones.

Her heartbeat quickened and her thoughts surged.

This is a rare opportunity, an opportunity that can change her destiny.

Su Chenjin jumped down lightly from the old locust tree, her steps firm and powerful.

She took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the beauty and hope of life.

She walked slowly towards the fascinating rainbow beach.

The fine sand under your feet sparkles like broken gold, and every grain seems to tell the magic and charm of this land.

The surface of the lake sparkled like a mirror, lying quietly in the arms of the earth, reflecting her figure and inner waves.

Su Chenjin faced the rippling blue waves, and the excitement and anticipation in his heart surged like the tide.

She seemed to have seen the magnificent scenery of the frontier, a vast land with majestic mountains and endless grasslands.

She imagined herself standing there, feeling the whistling of the wind and the pulse of the earth, her heart filled with endless yearning and desire.

At this moment, she is looking forward to the warm embrace of her loved ones.

It will be a long-lost intimacy and comfort, a warmth and happiness that wells up from the bottom of your heart.

Su Chenjin's lips curled up into a confident smile. The road ahead is still long.

Su Chenjin stood by the sparkling lake, with the colorful rainbow beach under his feet. The whole world was lit up by these brilliant colors.

She is like a little bird about to spread its wings and fly, looking forward to the freedom of the sky but also nervous about the unknown journey.

She felt the fresh air from the lake and the breeze from afar blowing away the doubts in her heart.

She looked down at the phone in her hand, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart.

Gu Xinliang on the other end of the phone was one of the people she trusted most in the world.

"Director Gu, you know how much I miss my brother," Su Chenjin's voice was trembling, but also full of determination, "but my brother, does he know my current situation?"

Her voice echoed by the lake, as if even the lake water was moved.

Gu Xinliang listened quietly, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He put down the documents in his hand and raised his brows. His deep eyes seemed to hide many untold stories.

He shook his head gently, his voice gentle but firm: "I don't plan to tell him about your skipping classes for the time being. But I hope you can sincerely repent, complete your studies on time, and not let skipping classes lead to deductions of credits. As long as you can do these, I promise to help you arrange the trip to the border."

Hearing Gu Xinliang's words, Su Chenjin felt relieved. She felt an unprecedented sense of relief and joy, and the whole world became brighter.

A brilliant smile appeared on her face, a smile as bright as the sun, which made people unable to help but be moved.

She jumped up excitedly and started running on the rainbow beach.

Her figure formed a beautiful landscape by the lake, like a free-flying bird, dancing happily against the backdrop of the rainbow.

Her laughter and cheers echoed around the lake, as if even the lake itself was rejoicing.

At this moment, Su Chenjin felt as if he was in a dreamlike world, full of hope and possibilities.

In the early summer breeze, Su Chenjin was like a blooming flower, running happily towards the gentle wind.

Her skirt fluttered in the air with every light movement, like a colorful cloud, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight.

Her dancing is graceful and joyful, like a dancing butterfly, flying freely among the flowers.

As the dance rose and fell, her laughter was clear and sweet, echoing like a silver bell in every corner of the lake.

The voice was full of youthful energy and vigor, which made people feel happy and their mood started to dance along with her.

Tired of running, Su Chenjin walked slowly back to the old locust tree. She whispered to Gu Xinliang on the other end of the phone, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes: "Director Gu, you are a man who keeps your word! If you regret it later, I will definitely go to Dean Chen Fangyu to talk to you!"

Gu Xinliang couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this. Although this naughty little girl sometimes gave him a headache, her heart was extremely pure and she could always bring surprises and happiness to others.

Gu Xinliang nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaojin. I will do what I say. However, I heard from Dean Chen Fangyu that you have anything else to ask me? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help."

Su Chenjin held the phone gently and walked back alone in the quiet woods.

Although her steps were steady, each step revealed a hint of imperceptible irritation.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like a golden veil, gently sprinkling on the lake, making the waves sparkle and flash with charming light.

The light shone on her face, bright yet a little confused, just like her mood at the moment.

Her little feet accidentally stepped into the shallow water at the lakeside. The cold water instantly rushed up to her ankles, making her mind a little clearer.

She felt the gentle breeze brushing against her cheeks and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

"Originally, I was supposed to take care of the reception issues at Qin Medical Clinic assigned by Dean Chen, but that person stood me up!"

She spoke to the other end of the phone, with a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness in her voice.

She seemed to be confiding her distress to Professor Gu on the other end of the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xinliang heard something strange in her tone.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and a deep and powerful voice came through the phone line: "Su Yue?"

His voice carried a kind of magic that penetrated Su Chenjin's heart and gave her a sense of warmth and strength.

Su Chenjin nodded and continued, "Yes, I heard that the man went to Jiangnan Medicinal Materials, so I went there out of curiosity. I didn't expect to negotiate a deal! Although it was a bit unexpected, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for me."

After hearing this, Gu Xinliang smiled and said, "Well, you are really lucky. But don't skip classes to discuss business anymore. I don't want you to not graduate because you don't have enough credits! You still have a long future ahead of you. Don't let a short-term gain or loss affect the overall situation."

After hearing this, Su Chenjin's face turned slightly red. She knew that what Gu Xinliang said made sense.

She nodded silently and said into the phone, "I understand."

Su Chenjin hung up the phone. She walked through the busy campus path. Everything around her was still, only the sound of her heartbeat echoed in her ears.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, and her figure seemed more determined in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Five forty-five. This time has special significance for Su Chenjin.

She stood at the entrance of the campus, looking into the distance, waiting for the familiar figure to appear.

She was both excited and anxious.
In another corner, Chen Fangyu was also moving in the same direction.

Her steps were light but firm, and her heartbeat quickened with the rhythm of her footsteps. She imagined the upcoming meeting with Su Chenjin, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

The trees swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to Chen Fangyu.

She walked along the familiar path, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the path seemed to be smiling at her, rejoicing in her arrival.

At this moment, Gu Xinliang had to leave the campus early because he received an urgent task.

His departure was as gentle as a breeze, silent and without a trace, but it left Chen Fangyu with an indelible regret.

At this moment, Su Chenjin stood quietly at the gate of Jiangnan University, the breeze gently blowing through her long hair, and she was excited about the upcoming reunion.

She looked into the distance from time to time, hoping that the familiar figure would appear soon.

Finally, when Chen Fangyu gradually appeared in sight, Su Chenjin's heartbeat instantly accelerated.

When she saw Chen Fangyu's familiar and kind face, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

She immediately went to meet him, and their eyes met in the air.
Chen Fangyu ran over happily, opened her arms, and gave Su Chenjin a big hug.

At this moment, time stood still, everything around them became blurry, and only the two of them were clearly visible.

"You're finally here!" Su Chenjin said excitedly, her voice full of joy and anticipation.

"Yes, I'm finally here." Chen Fangyu responded with a smile. She held Su Chenjin's hand tightly, trying to pass all her strength and courage to her.

“This time, we want to create more memories together.”

Chen Fangyu said this with a bright smile on her face.

The two walked into the campus of Jiangnan University hand in hand.

The vegetable market at the west gate of Jiangda University is particularly lively today.

The bustling crowd surged like a tide; the sounds of footsteps, conversations and hawking were intertwined to form a vivid symphony of the city.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, onto the colorful vegetables and fruits, making the entire market sparkle with bright light.

At the stalls, the colorful fruits and vegetables are like an artist's palette. The red tomatoes are juicy, the green vegetables are tender, the yellow corn is plump and tempting... Every color is like a gift from nature, making people can't help but stop and appreciate it.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of various fruits and vegetables, making people feel as if they are in a natural oxygen bar.

The stall owners were shouting enthusiastically, with the scales in their hands flying, calculating the prices quickly.

Customers picked and chose, sometimes bargaining with stall owners and sometimes sharing their discoveries with their companions.

Children were running around and playing among the crowd, laughing happily from time to time, adding a touch of childishness to this bustling market.

Su Chenjin and Chen Fangyu held hands and strolled along the path in the vegetable market in the afterglow of the setting sun.

They shuttled between the stalls, hearing the vendors' cries of hawker goods and seeing a dazzling array of vegetables, fruits and all kinds of food ingredients.

However, all this noise seems to have nothing to do with them. In their world there is only this land dyed golden by the sunset.

Su Chenjin's eyes sparkled with excitement. She took Chen Fangyu's hand and walked quickly towards a stall selling tofu.

She bent down and carefully picked the fresh tofu, gently touching the jade-white tofu with her fingers, feeling its delicate texture.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Chen Fangyu watched quietly from the side, nodding from time to time, and was infected by her enthusiasm.

"You know, the key to making braised tofu is the preparation of the sauce."

Su Chenjin said as he put the tofu in his hand into the basket, "When mixing the sauce, you have to pay attention to the proportion and taste."

Su Chenjin continued speaking as she took out a bottle of soy sauce, a small can of sugar, and then some cooking wine and water starch.

As she explained, she mixed the various seasonings together according to the proportions and stirred gently. The color of the sauce gradually became deeper and it exuded a rich aroma.

"Soy sauce is the base, sugar is the soul, cooking wine adds flavor, and water starch thickens it." Su Chenjin said softly. The sauce became so magical in her hands, as if it had life.

Chen Fangyu stood aside, and the plate of braised tofu with bright red color and smooth texture seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

The rich sauce wrapped around the tofu melts in your mouth, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiao Jin, you are such a cooking expert. You can always make such delicious dishes. It's really admirable."

After hearing Chen Fangyu's praise, Su Chenjin showed a proud smile on his face.

She clapped her hands gently and said, "Of course, I put a lot of effort into it. You can expect a feast tonight!"

After careful selection, Su Chenjin and Chen Fangyu set off for home contentedly with their hands full of ingredients.

After returning home, Su Chenjin couldn't wait to start showing off her cooking skills.

She first cut the tender tofu into pieces of uniform size, and each cut seemed so precise and powerful.

Then, she lit the fire, poured in an appropriate amount of cold oil when the pot was hot, and then carefully put in the cut tofu cubes.

The tofu is slowly fried in the pan, making a sizzling sound.

Su Chenjin stared at the tofu in the pan intently, turning it over from time to time to ensure that every side was fried golden and crispy.

As the tofu is fried, an enticing aroma fills the kitchen, making people salivate.

Meanwhile, Chen Fangyu was also busy preparing pickled cabbage and fish with skillful and quick techniques.

He cut the fish slices so thin that each slice was almost transparent, and he also cut the sauerkraut into thin strips, which gave off a light sour smell.

Looking at Chen Fangyu's busy figure, Su Chenjin couldn't help but sigh: "You are such a good helper!"

Chen Fangyu looked up and smiled. The two of them worked together very well, like an old pair of partners who had been together for many years.

The sauce of the braised tofu was bubbling in the pot, exuding a rich aroma; in another pot, the pickled fish was a blend of sour and spicy, and the fish fillets were gently rolling in the soup, exuding a mouth-watering flavor.

After a while, two delicious dishes came out of the pot one after another.

The braised tofu is bright red in color, with a rich sauce and an enticing aroma; the sauerkraut fish is sour and spicy, with tender fish fillets and a moderately sour and spicy soup, making you want to feast on it.

The two of them sat around the dining table, looking at this delicious dinner, their hearts filled with satisfaction and happiness.

They enjoyed the food while chatting and sharing each other's daily life.

Enjoying this rare quiet time.

Just then, there were several hurried knocks on the door, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

Chen Fangyu frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

He opened the door and saw Gu Xinliang walking in with a stranger.

The stranger was tall, with a stern face and an unfathomable light in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Xinliang hurriedly introduced: "Dean Chen, this is Brother Su Yue who I met on the road. He heard that we were gathering here, so he came to meet us specially."

Chen Fangyu's heart moved when she heard this. Su Chenjin stood up from the dining table, walked to the door, and saw Su Yue. She suddenly remembered the uninvited guest Su Ming whom she met at Jiangnan Medicinal Materials.

She looked carefully at Su Yue in front of her and found that he had a somewhat similar aura to Su Ming. She couldn't help but secretly guess about their relationship.

Su Yue also noticed Su Chenjin's gaze. He smiled and said, "My name is Su Yue. I heard that you all were gathering here, so I wanted to come and make some acquaintances."
