Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

However, isn’t it true that anyone with a bit of skill and talent possesses a certain pride?

”Her grades are excellent! Especially her scores in anatomy class, they’re practically perfect!” Ning Chenguang said. Before meeting Zhan Xiche, his anatomy skills were often the subject of admiration from the teachers.

They all said he was incredibly gifted!

His precision and fluency in anatomy were even more exceptional than those of Professor Yan Ye back in the day, which always made his teachers feel proud and accomplished whenever they brought it up.

Now, this unique honor was shared with a girl who had transferred to this university midway.

Moreover, this girl shared a near-obsessive passion for medicine, just like him.

”I’ve heard about it. This Zhan Xiche is indeed impressive! She is the pride of your Uncle Zhan!” An Hao commented objectively about this girl. After speaking, she turned to look at her son’s exceptionally handsome features and half-jokingly said, ”Could it be that you both resonate with each other? Have you taken a liking to her?”

Ning Chenguang frowned and tossed the half-eaten chicken leg onto the plate: ”Mom, does even the most beautiful and elegant woman become a cliché at your age?”

”What?” An Hao caught the implication of her son’s words and laughed, scolding him, ”You rascal, can’t you even take a joke?”

”Mom, focus on cooking! I’m going for a shower!” Ning Chenguang said, then headed upstairs.

Opening the door and turning on the wall lamp, Ning Chenguang immediately saw He Yue lying on his bed.

She was curled up on his bed, frowning as she slept. She seemed to be dreaming, not sleeping very soundly, and occasionally sobbed slightly, with tears trickling from the corners of her eyes.

Even so, she couldn’t quite wake up, entirely immersed in this somewhat unpleasant dream.

Ning Chenguang stood at her bedside, looking at her for a while. He took some soft tissues from the table and gently wiped away her tears and sweat.

Her curled, long eyelashes fluttered a few times, showing signs of waking up.

Unexpectedly, she merely turned over and quieted down again.

Due to this turn, her skirt hiked up slightly, revealing a part of her thigh, which glowed with a luminous sheen under the soft light.

Ning Chenguang quickly averted his gaze, intending to pull her skirt down, but accidentally touched her skin, which felt smooth and delicate, like a piece of fine jade.

”Big brother...” He Yue suddenly called out.

Ning Chenguang was startled by her voice, immediately stopping his actions. After waiting for two minutes without any further movement, he gently sighed in relief.

This time, instead of pulling her skirt down, he took a thin blanket from the wardrobe and covered He Yue with it, then turned on the air conditioning in the room.

After that, he turned and went to the bathroom.

He Yue slept until daylight broke. By the time she woke up, Ning Chenguang had already left for school.

At home, only An Hao was busy tidying up the house downstairs.

She quickly walked over, intending to help An Hao with the chores, but An Hao stopped her: ”Yueyue, go wash up and have breakfast, I have other things to do with you later!”

”Well... alright.”

Upon leaving the military compound, An Hao took He Yue for a full day of bustling activities.
