Chapter 1002 - The Talented Scholar and the Beautiful Lady

Shu Xin grinned mischievously, while Shen Ruoqiu rolled her eyes dramatically, thinking to herself, no way, how could I be interested in a playboy like him? What I want is a scholarly romance, not this sort of thing."Oh right, classmate, could you help me translate this section?"

Su Xuan suddenly remembered, then handed a passage from that medical book he had copied to Xiong Lin. Xiong Lin studied it seriously and then wrote detailed annotations on the paper. Su Xuan was astonished, thinking how boring those ancient people were to write books in dialects. It’s outrageously quirky.

"Your handwriting is elegant yet playful, classmate, it seems your inner world isn’t as proper and good-girl-like as it appears!"

Su Xuan said with a smile, and when he finished speaking, Xiong Lin looked at him excitedly and said.

"You, you could tell that too."

In that instant, looking at Su Xuan, she felt an instant connection as if meeting a kindred spirit, closing the gap between them immediately.

"Haha, there’s a saying that one’s writing reflects one’s character. It’s exaggerated, but it’s mostly true. Look at my writing; it’s bold and powerful. You can tell I’m a grand and righteous man, right?"

Su Xuan was being extremely self-absorbed when he said this. He was full of narcissism.

"Haha, more importantly, it’s the confidence. Your writing, as Grandpa would say, exudes confidence everywhere!"

Xiong Lin said with a smile.

"Haha, you’re making me shy by saying that!"

Su Xuan scratched his head. Xiong Lin was actually a unique girl, sweet-looking with a gentle yet mischievous character, which Su Xuan really appreciated.

"By the way, Su Xuan, do you understand this? I can translate it, but I find it so complex."

Xiong Lin asked curiously.

"It’s not that simple. Honestly, I don’t understand it either. It’s a book on pharmacopeia, and the stuff in it is too complicated. The person who wrote it was irresponsible; I mean, writing in dialects, that’s just a joke!"

Su Xuan really couldn’t comprehend much. He could grasp about a third of the book, but he didn’t really understand a lot of it.

"Hehe, actually it’s not that bad. Actually, I heard from Grandpa that ancient medical skills were usually recorded in dialects to prevent theft."

"Oh, what exactly does your grandpa do, he’s so impressive."

Su Xuan was curious about Old Master Xiong, wondering who this amazing person actually was.

"Grandpa is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If you don’t understand, you could ask him to help you. Maybe he can get it."

Xiong Lin said with a smile.

"Oh, really? I definitely need to consult him then. In a few days, I’ll give him a calligraphy work and ask for some advice!"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Sure, welcome, welcome! I’ll cook for you then!"

Xiong Lin said with a smile, thinking to herself how happy she felt that Su Xuan was coming to her house.

"Sure, I’ve heard we have a saying in Huaxia that you can gauge someone’s cooking skills by their writing. With your writing skills, your cooking must be delicious!"

Su Xuan boasted cheerfully.

"Uh... Can that really be true?"

Of course, I’m telling you, Huaxia culture is very profound."

Su Xuan said pompously, clearly having no filter when he was in this bubbly state, though Xiong Lin seemed to enjoy listening to him like this.

University life is quite comfortable. After a few classes, there were no more courses, so Su Xuan thought of going to Sunan for a stroll, thinking it was tiresome to always follow those two ladies around.

Today, the two ladies mentioned going for a yoga class, so Su Xuan thought of buying a bicycle, since sneaking around and taking a bus daily was really awkward.

"Su Xuan, want to join us for yoga practice? Lots of pretty girls there."

Just then, Shu Xin sent a WeChat message. Su Xuan looked at the message, pouted, and replied.

"Trying to tempt me, no thanks, I’m a gentleman."

After Su Xuan sent the message, Shu Xin pouted and said.

"Tch, a gentleman, huh? Ruqiu, can you believe that guy didn’t go for such a good opportunity, do you think he has something wrong with his head? I thought he’d be up for it." Shu Xin said with the curiosity of a cat.

"Little Shu, what should I say about you? Ugh, never mind, you’re driving me mad!"

Shen Ruoqiu was also speechless at Shu Xin for wanting to drag Su Xuan to yoga practice.

Wang Xiaopang returned gleefully, and Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin.

"Oh, Xiaopang, you can indeed! Asked her out, huh?"

Su Xuan asked curiously, and Xiaopang really felt the urge to hug Su Xuan and kiss him.

"Big bro, you’re my idol! I really did ask her out for dinner. Big bro, come with me; you’re like my matchmaker!" said the excited Xiaopang.

"Get lost, what good would it do for me to go with you? You bring these things up at the worst times. Such a great opportunity doesn’t need a third wheel like me. Make the most of it, oh man, Xiaopang, you’ve really impressed me!"

Su Xuan touched his nose, inwardly calculating, thinking to himself, I really am the legendary love expert, helping Xiaopang find a girlfriend so effortlessly. Haha, Su Xuan thought to himself, filled with a sense of achievement.

"Bro, teach me a few tricks too!"

At this moment, a few male classmates sitting in front of Su Xuan turned around with faces full of admiration, paying homage to the love expert Su Xuan.

"Uh, get lost, you really think I’m a matchmaker? Let’s see how things unfold!"

Su Xuan rubbed his temples, thinking to himself that there are a lot of singles among the current university students, due to the severe gender imbalance.

After school, Shen Ruoqiu and Shu Xin went to practice yoga, while Su Xuan took a cab to Sunan to buy a bicycle. When they arrived in Sunan, Su Xuan thought he should buy a good bicycle, especially since the distance between the university and Shen Ruoqiu’s home wasn’t that far. So Su Xuan decided to buy a bicycle.

While Su Xuan was wandering on the street, he suddenly saw a couple arguing, seemingly quite fiercely.

"Get lost, I hate you!"

A girl yelled hysterically.
