Chapter 106 – Farewell (2)
Getting along with Ye Zhen in Zhuangzi for half a month, Mister Shan didn’t feel as unfamiliar to her as before.
He did not face her coldly any more.
“Mister Shan, haven’t you rested yet?” Ye Zhen came in with a smile and saw Mister Shan facing the chessboard alone, slightly dazed.
“Can you play chess?” Mister Shan asked.
Ye Zhen smiled shyly, “A little bit but not very well.”
“Come and join me in the next round.” Mister Shan waved and asked Ye Zhen to sit down opposite her.
This is …Ye Zhen’s eyes looked down at the chessboard. Her eyes flashed with sadness, and she briskly said, “Sir, this is an encirclement game**.”
**T/N : Encirclement game board
Mister Shan looked up at her. “You can see that it’s a siege. That’s good.”
How could she not see it? Her father liked this game before, and he loved it best when he surrounds the enemy’s stones and kill them with his own.
Ye Zhen had a white stone in her hand. Her chess skills was not bad. If she wanted to be serious, her attacks could easily breakthrough Mister Shan’s defense, but in front of him, she didn’t want to show too much. Mister Shan watched Ye Zhen play chess in an orderly manner.
“Tomorrow, I am leaving.”
Ye Zhen looked up in surprise, “What does Mister Shan meant by this?”
“I promised your mother at the beginning to teach you how to pa.s.s the entrance examination of the college. Now that the examination is approaching, I have nothing to teach you anymore. How well you do then depends on your luck.” In fact, he didn’t hate Lu Yaoyao as a student. On the contrary, this student is brilliant, he thought.
“Sir, if I fail to enter the women’s college, can you still be my teacher?” Ye Zhen asked in a low voice that she knew better than anyone that Mister Shan could teach her a lot. She had already learned everything she needed but just couldn’t bear to be separated from him like this.
“No.” Mister Shan refused cleanly. “If you can’t even get into the college, what qualifications do you have to be my student again?”
Ye Zhen bowed her head. “Mister Shan said that I will definitely enter the college, and I believe him.”
“You don’t need to be nervous either. You’re not taking a women’s cla.s.s, but a medical school. It’s relatively easier to enter.” Mister Shan said.
The women’s college has several branches, and the most difficult one is the women’s teaching cla.s.s. There were three cla.s.ses for each grade, and girls could enter the school from the age of 12.
Besides pa.s.sing the six arts, their family background should also be impressive in the eyes of the interviewing teachers. The most popular branch is the medical center.
The medical center is limited to the age of 16. Women who graduate from the medical center have the opportunity to enter the palace to become female medical doctors. Other cla.s.ses such as life skills cla.s.s, embroidery speed cla.s.ses had few students
Mister Shan cleared his throat and fixed the tight clothing that was making him feel heavy at this moment—or was it the clothing?
Ye Zhen looked up at him, imprinting his image in her mind. Tomorrow, this man who had been her friend since her previous life as the w.a.n.g fei, would be leaving her.
He became a reminder of her past, and now, she would have to continue her mission without him.
“If that’s the case, farewell in advance, Mister Shan.”
