Chapter 125 Chu Mingzhou Borrows Textbooks

Su Nuannuan didn't have to wait long; Chu Mingzhou returned soon after.

Seeing Su Nuannuan, Chu Mingzhou wasn't surprised. Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan were close, and they often exchanged gifts. Therefore, seeing Su Nuannuan at home didn't elicit much of a change in Chu Mingzhou's expression.

Chu Mingzhou's expression was indifferent as he politely greeted Zhao Yalan and Su Nuannuan.

"Sister-in-law, this is Su Nuannuan."

After saying that, he nodded and headed towards his room.

Seeing that Chu Mingzhou was about to turn around, Zhao Yalan quickly stopped him.

“Mingzhou, wait a minute, I need your help with something.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingzhou, who was about to leave, stopped and turned around to stand beside Zhao Yalan.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Although Chu Mingzhou has a cold personality, he will respond positively to family members who seek his help.

Zhao Yalan understood his personality, which is why she spoke up. She didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Nuan Nuan, you have a class on Traditional Chinese Medicine processing next week. Do you have the three books: Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Chinese Materia Medica, and Medicinal Botany?"

Chu Mingzhou looked at Su Nuannuan with some surprise upon hearing Zhao Yalan's words.

"You changed your major?"

Before Su Nuannuan could answer, Zhao Yalan spoke up.

"No, Su Nuannuan only minored in traditional Chinese medicine preparation."

Hearing Zhao Yalan's words, Chu Mingzhou gave a faint "hmm." He then didn't ask Su Nuannuan why she was studying traditional Chinese medicine making so early.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me a moment, I'll go find these three books."

Chu Mingzhou had an exceptional memory; these three books were the very ones he needed for his minor in Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation during his freshman year of college. He already knew their contents by heart. However, over the years, he had accumulated quite a few books, and these three were now lost in some obscure corner of his mind.

Zhao Yalan knew that Chu Mingzhou had agreed, and said happily.

"No rush, you go find it first."

Su Nuannuan was also very happy. She hadn't expected Chu Mingzhou to be so easy to talk to.

Thinking of Chu Mingxia's evaluation of him, Su Nuannuan felt that Chu Mingzhou might be the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

After saying that, Chu Mingzhou went back to his room to find the three books: Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Chinese Materia Medica, and Medicinal Botany.

Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan waited in the living room, chatting for a while about their lives.

Su Nuannuan continued her studies as always. Meanwhile, Zhao Yalan's life was much more interesting.

Since Beijing University has the most professors in the Chinese Literature department, Zhao Yalan doesn't actually have much work. She only needs to teach two or three classes a day.

Therefore, she has plenty of free time.

Since the last public opinion incident, Zhao Yalan felt she was too weak. She lacked assertiveness when faced with problems, and she needed some strength.

Therefore, she now exercises with Ji Lan every morning, learning military boxing. During the day, after teaching her students, she goes to the debate club to learn debating skills—basically, rational verbal sparring.

Zhao Yalan felt that if she had been able to defend herself in time last time, she wouldn't have been smeared with such a huge amount of mud.

After experiencing the trauma, Zhao Yalan became extremely dedicated to learning debating. Now, she participates in every debate session the club debating.

Zhao Yalan's fighting spirit is now incomparable to what it used to be. She can now be considered a key member of the debate club, and whenever there's a new debate topic, the club members are happy to challenge her.

Su Nuannuan was stunned after hearing this.

"Sister Yalan, this is your second awakening!"

As the saying goes, "A whitewashed face is three parts weaker, a blackened face is ten times stronger." After what happened last time, Ya Lan has become half-blackened. Although she doesn't seem to be much different in her interactions with those around her, Su Nuannuan still noticed that Ya Lan's mental state has become much more resilient.

Su Nuannuan thought this was a good idea.

After all, this isn't an era where "you can't hold me hostage just because I have no morals." A person still needs to be eloquent to avoid more trouble.

Just then, Chu Mingzhou came out with three books.

Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan also stopped talking.

Chu Mingzhou handed the textbook to Su Nuannuan and said.

"Look, are these the three books you wanted?"

Su Nuannuan took it and looked at the title and publisher; it was exactly the same as the one Ouyang Suiping had given her.

Su Nuannuan was surprised to find the textbook so quickly and said to Chu Mingzhou with some joy.

"Thank you, Chu Mingzhou. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Chu Mingzhou's eyes flickered. Then, he looked directly at Su Nuannuan.

Looking into Chu Mingzhou's bright eyes, Su Nuannuan felt a sense of déjà vu.

Thinking about it, wasn't this the look in Chu Mingzhou's eyes when he wanted to buy wild ginseng slices from her last time?

So, will Chu Mingzhou ask her to buy wild ginseng slices again this time?

Su Nuannuan only had two cans of wild ginseng slices left. She hesitated, wondering whether she should sell them to Chu Mingzhou if he offered to buy them later.
After all, the ginseng in her space had already grown, and she could obtain a large amount of ginseng as long as she waited for the right opportunity. Moreover, the ginseng growing in her space could not actually be considered ginseng; it was actually classified as wild ginseng.

Nourished by spiritual energy, Su Nuannuan didn't tend to them, letting them grow wildly. This is actually the same principle as wild ginseng growing in the mountains.

However, Chu Mingzhou did not ask Su Nuannuan to buy wild ginseng slices, but instead inquired about canned fruit.

"Su Nuannuan, do you have any canned fruit? I'd like to buy some."

Ever since they tasted the canned fruit that Su Nuannuan brought, it wasn't just Chu Mingxia and Chu Huaying who became obsessed; there was also the taciturn Chu Mingzhou. He just didn't say anything, so no one noticed.

Chu Mingzhou's words completely stunned Su Nuannuan.

Is her canned fruit really that popular?
Su Nuannuan could clearly see the longing in Chu Mingzhou's cold eyes. Being stared at by such a handsome young man, Su Nuannuan felt a little overwhelmed.

Besides, she was the one who came to borrow books today. Now that she has the textbooks, Su Nuannuan won't be stingy with a few cans of fruit.

"You don't need to buy it, I'll go home and get it for you now. Oh, and Sister Yalan, there's one for you too."

Zhao Yalan was pleased to see that Su Nuannuan hadn't forgotten her. However, she still refused to accept anything from Su Nuannuan for free.

"Nuan Nuan, no need to send anything. Mingzhou and I will buy it ourselves!"

Su Nuannuan didn't answer, but turned and ran towards the door, shouting as she ran.

"No need, consider this my thank you gift."

Zhao Yalan watched Su Nuannuan's departing figure and chuckled.

"This girl is really energetic. Don't you think so, Mingzhou?"

Chu Mingzhou was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Zhao Yalan's words and subconsciously replied.

"Ah."

After returning home, Su Nuannuan first put the books in her room, and then took out ten cans of fruit. To thank Zhao Yalan and Chu Mingzhou, Su Nuannuan took out 1000 ml cans of fruit.

Looking at the ten cans of food on the table, Su Nuannuan felt a headache coming on.

These ten cans are not light at all.
