At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 452 - : 424
Chapter 452: 424
“Cough cough, you two chat, I’ll head back first.”
Watching Old Dai and Academician Hou suddenly become adversarial for some reason, Gu Yu just wanted to leave this place of conflict as quickly as possible.
“You, stand there.”
Old Dai and Academician Hou Yun shouted in unison.
Gu Yu’s hand, which had been on the door handle, paused, and he turned his head with an embarrassed face to look at the two elders: “What’s wrong?”
“You little brat, you definitely need to study my book carefully, it will be very beneficial for you!”
Old Dai once again admonished with a stern expression.
“Hmm, you can also come to me if you have any problems.” To Yu’s surprise, Academician Hou actually chimed in.
“…Uh, Academician Hou, aren’t you an infectious disease expert?”
Gu Yu was startled, if he remembered correctly, wasn’t Hou Yun an expert in infectious diseases?
“What I mean is, you can come to me if you encounter any problems in the medical field.”
Academician Hou Yun shook his head, knowing that Gu Yu hadn’t grasped his meaning.
Gu Yu furrowed his eyebrows slightly and after a few seconds of reflection, he suddenly understood Academician Hou Yun’s intention.
He was offering to be a mentor!
But for what reason?
Gu Yu glanced at Old Dai and felt sure it had something to do with him.
“Furthermore, my surgical skills are much better than you imagine,” added Hou Yun.
Dai Zhengguo nodded, “Hmm, Academician Hou’s surgical skills are indeed strong.”
Gu Yu’s expression grew even more peculiar; what on earth were these two elders up to? They were just at loggerheads, and now they seemed to be on the same side.
However, he wasn’t going to refuse this unexpected offer of a powerful mentor.
He wasn’t a fool, after all.
“Hehe, then I really do have something I need help with!” With this thought, Gu Yu’s expression immediately changed to a broad smile as he looked toward Academician Hou.
Academician Hou: “…”
Dai Zhengguo was flabbergasted; he hadn’t expected Gu Yu to actually take him up on his offer so readily. This kid didn’t beat around the bush when it came to seizing opportunities!
At least be a little courteous!
Academician Hou was taken aback for a couple of seconds, then a helpless smile appeared on his face: “You tell me, if I can help you, I certainly will.”
“Hehe, really? Boss, you’re so generous!”
Gu Yu chuckled, still somewhat incredulous that Academician Hou was so easygoing.
“What boss, it’s Academician!” Old Dai nearly threw a punch at Gu Yu; the kid always got too familiar too quickly and lost all sense of respect.
“Academician, Academician is generous!”
Gu Yu quickly nodded and corrected himself, the smile not fading from his face.
Dai Zhengguo was left speechless.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Academician Hou Yun, who had quickly gotten used to him, actually found Gu Yu’s manner quite refreshing; at least there was no barrier of status in their communication.
After all, when he usually talked with the younger generation, wasn’t each one of them meek and too intimidated to even breathe too heavily around him?
In contrast, Gu Yu’s approach made him feel communication was much easier.
“Just say it, no need to hold back,” he said with a smile.
Once Gu Yu was sure Academician Hou was serious, he became bolder and, rubbing his hands together with a sly smile, he moved closer to Hou Yun: “Well, it’s nothing really, I just wanted to ask if Grandpa Academician has any manuscripts or notes that I could study!”
The smile froze on Academician Hou’s face: “…”
Dai Zhengguo’s eyes widened as well, and a look of anger gradually surfaced on his face.
Gu Yu had only just snatched a book from his hands, and now he was asking for another?
Human desires are insatiable like a snake trying to swallow an elephant! It’s good to be eager to learn, but can he really handle so much?
Even with the surgical miscellany he gave Gu Yu, at best, it would take Gu Yu eight or nine years, maybe even over a decade, to fully delve into it!
“Yu, you might not know what’s written in that book of mine, but the content in there is definitely enough for you to chew on for many years,”
said Dai Zhengguo with a hint of anger in his voice.
Gu Yu blinked, and feeling a bit embarrassed by Old Dai’s words, he didn’t quite know how to respond.
He couldn’t possibly tell Old Dai that he could “digest” that surgical miscellany in just three days, could he?
That was too unbelievable, and he was afraid that Old Dai might start a new research topic—brain anatomy.
“Don’t be angry Dai, it’s just some manuscripts and notes, nothing that important. I have some old ones I jotted down randomly, I’ll just give those to Gu Yu,”
“I remember that stuff isn’t any key technology, mostly just records of experience, it’s not time-consuming to just read through them when there’s time,”
Academician Hou Yun extended a hand to pull Dai Zhengguo, wearing a faint smile, “Being eager to learn is a good thing in itself, my only fear is that the kid might miss an opportunity if he doesn’t seize it.”
After comforting Dai Zhengguo, Academician Hou turned to Gu Yu, “I have two or three case record books at my place, I’ll give them to you tomorrow morning, just treat them like ordinary books.”
“When it comes to experience, you can never have too much of it.”
Academician Hou generously agreed to Gu Yu’s request.
Gu Yu’s face lit up with joy, but seeing that Old Dai was still not appeased, he quickly shrank his neck, not daring to be too ostentatious.
At the same time, he was calculating how much “experience points” Academician Hou Yun’s record books might add for him.
They shouldn’t be too bad, right!? It was the handwriting of an Academician, after all!
“Sigh, what I hope for, you brat, is that you don’t set your sights too high and become overconfident. Throughout history, numerous geniuses have been ruined by pride,”
Old Dai sighed as he watched Gu Yu’s gleeful expression. He knew Gu Yu wanted these materials for more than just superficial gains like money, so he couldn’t really be angry.
He feared that Gu Yu’s eagerness would lead to superficial knowledge.
A jack of all trades is unlikely to become an expert in any field, let alone make a bid for Academician!
Even Academician Hou Yun, who was once a skilled practitioner in surgery, had to abandon it to devote himself entirely to the study of infectious diseases—a journey that took him forty years.
Forty years, half a lifetime, how can one achieve such heights without a steadfast heart committed to a singular goal?
“Old Dai, I understand, I assure you that I will not let the book you gave me gather dust, and you will soon see the skills I’ve learned from it,”
Gu Yu knew what Old Dai meant and dropped his smile, speaking solemnly.
Regardless, in Gu Yu’s eyes, Old Dai was a mentor and friend deserving of respect.
Since Old Dai entrusted him with the book, he would surely give Old Dai a satisfactory account.
“Blowing your own trumpet, I’d like to see how long it takes before you can apply what you’ve learned to practice,”
Despite Gu Yu’s firm statements, Old Dai still snorted skeptically at Gu Yu’s “big talk.”
Whether or not he had real skills would be unmistakably evident on the operation table.
“You old rascal, why undermine Gu Yu’s confidence? I never taught you to do that!” Academician Hou suddenly interjected, overhearing their conversation and giving Old Dai a glare.
“You’re nearly as old as I am, and you’re still only a Chief Physician—are you not embarrassed?”
Academician Hou rebuked Dai Zhengguo.
Dai Zhengguo, with an embarrassed face, could only nod constantly, “Mhm… Mhm…”
If someone else had called him merely a Chief Physician, he would have blown his top, but the one speaking was an Academician, and furthermore, had been half a teacher to him…
All of a sudden, seeing Gu Yu secretly chuckling at the side, Dai shot a glance at Gu Yu, and through gritted teeth said, “You little brat, you can go! I have more to discuss with Academician Hou!”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm,” Gu Yu nodded nonchalantly, aware that Old Dai felt he had lost face.
Having just irritated Old Dai, he could only obediently take his surgical miscellany and leave.
