I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

This might relate to Wu Yuekai’s identity as a soldier. In his position, he must consider his responsibilities. His thoughts and actions are for the greater good, yet bound by the strict laws of the military. That is why his writing evokes a sense of constraint, an inescapable constraint!

Beisitian pondered her words and then spoke her mind truthfully. After speaking, she was stunned, not because she hadn’t intended to be honest, but because this calm and serene interaction was very familiar.

She unconsciously treated Mr. Wu as her master!

Beisitian smiled bitterly in her heart. Whether she admitted it or not, she had developed admiration for Mr. Wu!

After listening to Beisitian’s words, Wu Yuekai looked at his writing in silence for a long time. No wonder he always felt he couldn’t find the feeling no matter how he wrote. Beisitian, as an observer, had awakened him with her words!

Though just an observer, without Beisitian’s level of insight, it would have been hard to see.

After a while, Wu Yuekai suddenly burst into laughter, ”Girl, you have a keen eye. I underestimated your artistic conception, good, good, good!”

He said ”good” three times in a row, but it couldn’t hide the regret in his eyes. Before he truly retired, he probably wouldn’t be able to write the cursive script he desired!

”This old man is really curious, how did the girl achieve such insight?” Wu Yuekai walked around the desk, came to the outer room, poured two cups of tea, ”Just brewed Longjing.”

Beisitian took the tea cup, ”Insight isn’t about age, it’s about perception.”

She shamelessly praised herself, for there was no other way to explain it. She might as well let people think she’s a genius.

They exchanged a few words and then casually chatted about family matters starting from calligraphy.

”Where is the girl from?” Wu Yuekai asked.

”Home is in Kao Village.”

”Who else is at home? How come a girl like you is out selling calligraphy for a living?”

”Parents are not in good health, little brother is young, the family can only depend on me now.” Beisitian said in a different way.

Wu Yuekai nodded, after thinking, he asked again, ”It’s not that the old man talks too much, but hasn’t the girl considered marriage?”

It wasn’t strange for Beisitian that he would ask such a question. Even in her former world, and especially here, it was common in rural areas for girls to marry at sixteen or seventeen. At her age, they would already have several kids, even with policies influencing it, the only kid would be running around, able to help with work by now.

”According to my parents, they want to wait until my brother grows up a bit.”

Perhaps due to the earlier feelings, Beisitian hadn’t hidden anything. Given Wu Yuekai’s status, if he wanted to investigate, he surely could find out everything.

Wu Yuekai lowered his eyes, muttering to himself: Boy, if you don’t complete your mission soon, you won’t be able to keep your bride!
