After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 106 - 78: Jumping from the Building

The newly fallen snow on the campus sparkled brilliantly, and the sky was impeccably blue.

After lunch, in the library of Dean Public School.

The sun, shining through the clear glass windows, enveloped people in warmth. Two lovely young girls had already claimed the seats by the window.

Zhuang Yijing recently recruited a minor as her laborer to catch up on foreign languages.

This laborer was none other than her friend Ning Youguang.

Since the day she discovered her friend was a hidden gem fluent in four languages, she couldn’t let go of this treasured person, constantly finding ways to ask her out for English and French lessons.

As for the other two languages she knew, Spanish and Hebrew... let’s forget about them for now; English and French were already taking half her life.

Today, she ran into a grammar issue and repeatedly called in the early morning, asking her to accompany her to the library at noon.

Her friend, with beauty and kindness, displayed immense patience and resolved her confusion in a few words.

Zhuang Yijing was overjoyed and decided to treat her to steak tonight.

"It’s only polite to reciprocate, let’s go eat steak tonight, my treat for my little teacher."

"With such a troublesome student, is steak enough?" The little teacher, full of gentle humor, began to make demands.

"Then tell me, what else do you want? Anything goes."

"I also want a Christmas special drink, to be in front of me by 3:30 PM."

"No problem," a cup of coffee was easy; she’d buy it after class. "Anything else?"

"I also want the student to study well because I’m going to test you next time." Ning Youguang looked at her spirited friend beside her, finding it particularly amusing.

"Mm-hmm, but not too difficult, if it’s too hard, I’ll suffer." Zhuang Yijing, famous for being a top student from Chicken Nest Mountain, is definitely a diligent and hard-working student.

"Of course, the exam content will be within your capacity."

After discussing some study matters, Zhuang Yijing asked:

"Youyou, your foreign languages are so good, why didn’t you go to the international class, but instead went to the experimental class?" She was one of the few students in the school who knew about Ning Youguang’s affluent background.

After all, when they first met, she was dumbfounded by her friend’s lavish spending.

"It’s because I want to apply for the National University of Science and Technology next year." Ning Youguang has always been trusting and honest with Zhuang Yijing.

Although Zhuang Yijing herself might not be aware, Ning Youguang deeply values their friendship.

"National University? Next year, you mean?" Zhuang Yijing was startled.

"Yes, I plan to take the college entrance exam next year to see if I can get into an undergraduate program related to psychology at the National University of Science and Technology. If I succeed, I’ll continue pursuing my studies there."

"So, your future career plan is to be involved in psychological research?"

"Not a researcher, but a professional psychologist. If there are good research topics that require addressing during my studies, I wouldn’t rule out delving in that direction."

"Wow, that’s quite impressive." Zhuang Yijing propped her head, contemplating, "Your future life goals are so clear; mine aren’t so clear yet. For now, I just know I want to attend a top university overseas after graduating high school."

Zhuang Yijing has always been smart and capable of self-reflection and independent thinking, qualities Ning Youguang admired greatly in her past life.

"Have you decided which top university?" Ning Youguang’s eyes glimmered as she looked at the somewhat bewildered Zhuang Yijing, smiling.

"Not yet, I just want to go to the best school in the world. After that, I might go into business with Old Zhuang, make a lot of money, and buy a big house, something like that..."

At sixteen or seventeen, Zhuang Yijing was intelligent but lacked direction in various life aspects.

"Is that so." Ning Youguang put down the pen in her hand, planning to discuss the topic seriously. "Look, you want to attend a top university globally, which is a very clear goal for the next two or three years. Based on this goal, what you need to determine first is which university you want to attend, because there are many top schools globally, but you can only choose one. Once you’ve decided where, it will be more beneficial for your study planning over these three years. In everything we do, the more defined the goal, the better. A clear goal allows you to know how to act to ultimately achieve it; otherwise, if a goal is unmet, it’s a fantasy, not a goal."

"...I haven’t known this." Zhuang Yijing felt lost.

Ning Youguang knew that her sixteen or seventeen-year-old friend didn’t understand these things yet, which is precisely why she was discussing them with her.

"Do you want your goal to be achieved more effectively?"

"Of course, do you have any solutions?" Zhuang Yijing looked at her "little teacher" with eyes full of hope.

She truly felt she had stumbled upon a treasure; she really knew so much.

"I can share some suggestions, and you can see if they work for you."

"Wow! That’s fantastic."

"First, research which university’s business program most appeals to you three years from now. Once you’ve identified the school, start considering what requirements are needed to attend. Once you’ve clarified all the requirements, treat them as goals to accomplish one by one. During the process, if some seem challenging, don’t worry. You can extend the timeline for achieving them and break down the daunting bigger goals into smaller, more attainable goals."

"Why do it this way?"

"To continually gain strength from achieving smaller goals to accomplish the larger ones, ultimately realizing your target. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhuang Yijing’s eyes lit up, "Once I find the school I want to attend, you’ll be the first to know."

"Okay."

After discussing their future plans, Zhuang Yijing asked Ning Youguang, "Do you plan to study abroad?"

"Yes." The young girl chuckled lightly, "Stanford University is waiting for me. My great-grandfather studied there for six years, and I plan to study there for a while too."

"So, you’re planning to go to Stanford in the future?" Zhuang Yijing was full of interest.

"Yes." The young girl was certain.

"It seems you really like Stanford. You smile whenever you mention it."

"The future is so beautiful, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"It really does." Zhuang Yijing wholeheartedly agreed.

After discussing what she didn’t understand with her friend, Ning Youguang continued reading in the sunlight by the window.

Zhuang Yijing felt that she had gained a lot from today’s talk with her friend, and her longing for the future increased significantly.

At the same time, she pondered where there might be gaps or imperfections in her own life plans...

As she thought about it, she remembered that besides attending a world-renowned school, she wanted to go into business, make money, and live in a big house. What kind of life did Ning Youguang, who wanted to become a psychological counselor, envision for herself?

She was very curious.

Engrossed in her thoughts, she accidentally voiced the question in her mind.

Then, she saw the girl beside her, with bright eyes, say radiantly, "I want to buy a house in the most bustling place, not facing the street, with comfortable and clean bedding, plant a few pots of greenery, and live a gentle life."

"Ah, that’s it? So simple?"

Is this really the simple dream of a top-notch rich and beautiful girl?

"Yes."

"Nothing else?"

"There is. To add a sunlit study."

"...Still quite simple, isn’t it? What about love? Marriage? A husband? Kids?" Zhuang Yijing thought that adults should consider these things.

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her said airily, "I care not for wealth and beauty, I only love the poetry and books of this world."

...

The two walked out of the library and found many students hurrying towards the teaching building on campus.

At the same time, they heard someone saying things like "Hurry, fast," and "Someone jumped..."

After exchanging glances, Zhuang Yijing pulled Ning Youguang along with the other students heading towards the teaching building.

When they reached the grass behind the senior high school teaching building, they found it surrounded by teachers and students.

Meanwhile, the air was filled with the shrill cries of a middle-aged woman:

"How could this happen, how could he jump?"

"How could this happen, I just said a couple of things, and he couldn’t take it..."

"The foolish child, why couldn’t he take it!"

Nearby, some students were speaking indignantly:

"Is his mom crazy? The guy jumped, and she’s still scolding him?"

"Exactly, he was driven to jump, and she’s still going on. I think this parent is toxic."

"Definitely toxic. This third-year senior was from the experimental class too."

"An experimental class genius, and his mom still treated him like that?"

"..."

Soon, the school teachers called the 110 police and the 120 ambulance into the campus.

The 120 ambulance took the senior year student, who had jumped, bleeding badly but with unknown injuries, to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The police and school teachers dispersed the onlookers and took away the distraught parents of the student who jumped.

Such an incident suddenly happening at school, all the students who had been watching discussed it on their way back to class.

Zhuang Yijing and Ning Youguang were talking about it too.

"What would drive the senior to jump?" Zhuang Yijing was still shaken, remembering the scene they had just witnessed of the senior lying on the snowy grass.

The snow-covered grass hadn’t completely thawed.

The bright red blood from the boy on the snow was especially jarring, piercing the hearts of many teachers and students.

"The senior probably had depression." Ning Youguang said heavily.
