Chapter 121 Minor Major
After the start of the new school term this month, Ouyang Suiping organized a class meeting for the first time ever.

As the youngest girl in clinical medicine today, Su Nuannuan was given the closest seat to Ouyang Suiping when she arrived in the classroom.

Wang Dong sat next to her.

When all the other students arrived, Ouyang Suiping hadn't arrived yet. However, the classroom was very quiet, with only the occasional rustling of pages turning.

Su Nuannuan looked around and found that her classmates were either reading or doing homework. Only she hadn't brought anything with her.

Damn it! I feel like I've been caught in the crossfire.

Su Nuannuan nudged Wang Dong's arm and whispered.

"Wang Dong, do you know why Teacher Ouyang called us here?"

Ever since Su Nuannuan gave Wang Dong canned fruit, their relationship has quickly grown closer.

Wang Dong actually knew a thing or two about Su Nuannuan's situation. As the class monitor, he knew almost everything about the students at school.

Thinking that Teacher Ouyang would announce it soon, Wang Dong felt that it wouldn't be a problem to let Su Nuannuan know in advance.

So he lowered his head and whispered.

"It's about minoring or elective majors next semester."

After explaining, he went on to explain the concepts of minors and electives to Su Nuannuan. A minor is essentially taking an additional major, which requires paying extra tuition. An elective, on the other hand, is something every student must do. If a student fails their elective exam, they will not graduate.

Similar to her previous life, Su Nuannuan looked at Wang Dong again and asked.

Do you know which majors we can minor in?

Wang Dong shook his head.

He genuinely didn't know that. It's already difficult enough to excel in one subject during university; many students don't choose to minor in another.

In their view, this would only add pressure to their already heavy studies, something no one would want.

Therefore, if you want to minor in another major, you need to submit an application yourself and get the school's approval.

Su Nuannuan thought of the medicinal herbs and spiritual spring water in her space and knew that her opportunity had come.

She plans to minor in traditional Chinese medicine preparation next semester, but she doesn't know if the school offers this course.

At this point, you can really learn something at university, and Su Nuannuan doesn't think that minoring in traditional Chinese medicine production is a waste of time at all.

Ouyang Suiping didn't keep everyone waiting for long and soon arrived at the classroom.

Upon entering, Ouyang Suiping first made eye contact with Su Nuannuan. Seeing that she was the only female classmate in the class, he subconsciously gave her a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan smiled and responded to him.

Then, Ouyang Suiping resumed his slightly serious expression. He looked at everyone and said...

"Students, next semester you will be adding a minor and elective courses. You don't need to choose a minor, but you must take the elective courses, and they will be linked to your final exam grades."

The final exams at the end of each semester are crucial for students' graduation. If mistakes are made, even the most outstanding students will not be able to graduate.

Just as Wang Dong had said. However, Ouyang Suiping didn't elaborate on the matter of minoring in another major. After all, he felt that for a medical student, there were already too many courses in their major; where would they find the time to take on another major?

Therefore, Ouyang Suiping did not bring it up himself, and his classmates did not ask him to introduce himself.

Ouyang Suiping emphasized the importance of elective courses. Since students need to take a certain number of elective courses each semester to pass the final exam, they take it very seriously.

On the contrary, Su Nuannuan had no interest in it whatsoever.

The elective courses only scratch the surface. Even though there was a course on traditional Chinese medicine preparation among the electives, Su Nuannuan wasn't interested. Ouyang Suiping explained the elective courses for the next semester and told students who wanted to take them to register with the class monitor. Ouyang Suiping also handed him the elective course schedule, asking him to help compile a list of students taking the electives.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it casually; there were categories such as art appreciation, natural sciences, sports and health, and humanities...

As the best university in Kyoto, Kyoto University offers a wide variety of elective courses covering various aspects.

After Ouyang Suiping finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Seeing that the other party really didn't intend to talk more about the minor, Su Nuannuan felt that she still had to go to him herself.

"Su Nuannuan, what major courses do you want to take next semester?"

Su Nuannuan pointed to a dance appreciation course on the elective course list in Wang Dong's hand and left. She was in a hurry to talk to Ouyang Suiping about her minor.

After Su Nuannuan came out of the classroom, she saw that Ouyang Suiping had already walked towards the second floor.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan quickly followed.

"Teacher Ouyang, wait a moment."

Ouyang Suiping, who was walking forward, was suddenly stopped by someone. Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw Su Nuannuan from his class.

Ouyang Suiping actually liked Su Nuannuan very much. If Su Nuannuan weren't so young, he would have wanted her to be the class monitor of Clinical Medicine.

Although he was the counselor for these students and didn't teach classes regularly, he was very familiar with the academic progress of each student in the class.

What surprised him most was Su Nuannuan, who consistently ranked first in every class exam. Some teachers felt that Su Nuannuan was a promising candidate for a clinical doctor and had begun to take notice of her.

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan, Ouyang Suiping gave her a warm smile.

"What's wrong, Su?"

Su Nuannuan approached Ouyang Suiping and waited until her breathing stabilized before speaking.

"Teacher, I would like to minor in another subject next semester."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Ouyang Suiping instinctively frowned. In the past, it wasn't uncommon for students to minor in another major. However, they often ended up failing, not only failing to learn anything new in their new major but also failing their primary major.

This is clearly someone who tries to do too much at once and ends up with nothing to show for it. The school strongly disapproves of this approach.

For clinical medicine majors with heavy coursework, almost no students would choose to minor in another major, as it would be too mentally taxing.

Ouyang Suiping did not dampen Su Nuannuan's enthusiasm, but asked gently.

"Su Nuannuan, can you tell me why?"

Su Nuannuan pursed her lips and finally said.

"I want to learn how to make traditional Chinese medicine. I believe that the prescriptions left by our ancestors have been verified over nearly a thousand years, and they must have some magical properties. I want to study these prescriptions."

Rather than saying Su Nuannuan wanted to learn how to make Chinese medicine, it would be more accurate to say that Su Nuannuan wanted to learn how to make Chinese medicine preparations.

Ouyang Suiping took Su Nuannuan to a pavilion downstairs and began to persuade her.

“But you’re already studying clinical surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine preparation has virtually no connection to your major.”

Su Nuannuan shook her head, denying Ouyang Suiping's statement.

"No. Professor Ouyang, I think surgery can treat a person's illness. However, aftercare requires medication. The price of Western medicine in China remains high, and we can only break the monopoly by studying traditional Chinese medicine formulas."
