Chapter 60 -48: Ointment

“Europe.” Shu Wan murmured while browsing through a stack of books the Housekeeper had brought over.

“Europe, huh?

Okay, sounds good.” At that moment, Fu Yang was like a monkey who knew the tiger was leaving the mountain.

His tone couldn’t hide his happiness.

“Hey, why do those books you’re holding look so familiar?”

Fu Yang leaned closer to Shu Wan, picked up two books, and glanced at them.

“Aren’t these the books I used in kindergarten?”

“Uh-huh.” Shu Wan nodded.

“I asked the Housekeeper to find them for me.”

“Why are you looking at these?” Fu Yang was puzzled.

“Are you planning on having a second child with my dad?”

“…” Shu Wan was almost rendered speechless by Fu Yang’s wild guess.

“No, I’m just trying to learn some basic knowledge.”

Now it was Fu Yang’s turn to be speechless.

“Kindergarten basics?

The internet claims you’re desperately illiterate.

You aren’t really illiterate, are you?”

Shu Wan wasn’t in the mood to banter back and forth.

“Think whatever you like.”

“Tsks,” Fu Yang chuckled with schadenfreude.

“If you need help, you can ask me.

After all, you’ve called me ‘teacher.'”

Kindergarten textbooks covered basics, which were just right for Shu Wan.

As someone ancient who had no understanding of modern knowledge systems, those kindergarten lessons were really useful for her grasp of modern knowledge.

Fu Yang initially thought Shu Wan was joking by reading kindergarten books, but from the Estate to the school, she had been reading through them the entire way.

The moment the car stopped at the school entrance, Shu Wan had also just finished the kindergarten phonics book.

Fu Yang thought he had some understanding of Shu Wan’s quirky nature, but at that moment, he still couldn’t figure out what she was up to.

“Go ahead.” Shu Wan lifted her gaze from the book and looked at Fu Yang.

“I’ll wait for you here at noon.”

“Don’t.” Fu Yang flatly refused.

“I’m not a primary school kid who needs someone to pick him up; just leave me be.”

“As far as I know, your friends from class are all going home to eat today.

You’ll be alone and without any money.

Are you planning to starve all day?”

“How do you know they’re all going home?”

Shu Wan raised her phone slightly.

“They’ve all added me on WeChat.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Initially, a classmate had taken down Shu Wan’s WeChat, and after the others found out, they had eagerly added her as well.

To make conversation easier, they even added Shu Wan to a group chat.

Since high school students are naturally talkative and everyone liked Shu Wan, the chat was always active, and she naturally knew what they were all up to.

“…” Fu Yang was speechless again.

“Then I won’t eat.

I’ll just starve.”

Watching Fu Yang’s retreating figure, the driver asked in concern, “Young Madam, do we still need to send lunch for the Young Master?”

“No need, he’ll come.” Shu Wan was certain.

“Okay.”

Once Fu Yang entered the school, Shu Wan had the driver take her to the university.

Just as Shu Wan passed the university entrance, various information about her popped up on the campus forum, and immediately, streams of people began running towards the classroom where Shu Wan was supposed to have her class.

But everyone waited and waited until the professor for the class arrived, yet Shu Wan never showed.

Seeing how the students went from excited to disappointed, the professor knew what everyone was thinking.

“Okay, stop sighing.

I know what you’re all thinking; you want to see the beautiful woman, right?”

The professor had a good relationship with the students and joked, which made the students join in, “Yes, Professor, why didn’t Shu Wan come today?”

“She probably won’t come anymore.” The professor put the chalk he was holding back into the box and explained to everyone, “I heard she’s dropping out.”

“What?

Dropping out?” Hearing this news, everyone was startled.

“Why?

Because of her poor grades?

But our university allows retakes, doesn’t it?

Even if she can’t graduate this year, can’t she in two more years?”

“I last heard her say she found physics very difficult.

Could it be she felt she absolutely couldn’t graduate?”

Shu Wan’s university was nationally renowned, enough to be called a prestigious university.

Thus, everyone was utterly baffled by Shu Wan’s decision to drop out.

The students were buzzing with discussions, and soon, the news spread online.

To today’s media reporters, as long as a headline could attract public attention, the more sensational it was, the better.

Thus, a headline that read “Entertainment Circle Actress Expelled by Leading University” quickly surged to the top of the trending list.

Before I even clicked on the trending search, I already had a name in mind, and sure enough, it was her.

Hadn’t Shu Wan already been exposed as a desperate illiterate?

Isn’t being expelled a normal thing?

Such a satisfying revelation, finally seeing her getting kicked out.

Hasn’t anyone checked how she got her college entrance exam scores?

How did such an illiterate, lacking even elementary knowledge, manage to sneak into a key university?

I suggest a strict investigation into the forces behind her.

Being able to get someone who slipped through nine years of compulsory education into a key university—I don’t believe she did it without connections.

With this explosive news ahead, soon other stories started to top it.

“Finally someone is spilling the beans on Shu Wan.

I’m a crew member from ‘Yun Ni’, and I must say, calling her a fish that slipped through nine years of compulsory education is giving her too much credit.

I suspect she may not have even attended kindergarten.”

Along with this revelation, a video filmed by a crew member on set was uploaded.

In the video, Shu Wan was facing away from the camera, typing a line of the script on a computer.

It was a very short line, but Shu Wan took a long time to type it out, and more ludicrously, she misspelled seven or eight out of just a dozen or so characters.

These were characters that even kindergarteners wouldn’t get wrong, yet Shu Wan did.

Help, isn’t it true that she might not have even gone to kindergarten?

Is this something a normal person would do?

It’s so ridiculous, I’m seriously questioning whether that’s even a human in front of the camera.

Sorry, calling her a fish that slipped through nine years of compulsory education was an overestimation on my part.

From the looks of it, she might not have even attended kindergarten.

In the entertainment circle, what most netizens love to talk about is their low level of education, and Shu Wan just hit that nerve.

Suddenly, there were swarms of negative comments about Shu Wan, and someone even went to check her college entrance exam scores.

Someone reported her to the education bureau, demanding a re-evaluation of her exam situation.

This issue blew up, and even Fu Yang, who was attending classes at school, heard about the gossip.

“You didn’t really cheat on your college entrance exam, did you?” As soon as Fu Yang got into the car, he watched Shu Wan with a hint of schadenfreude.

Shu Wan counter-asked, “What do you think?”

Fu Yang actually wanted to say that he thought so, just to make Shu Wan uncomfortable.

But looking into Shu Wan’s clear, bright eyes, Fu Yang couldn’t bring himself to say it, and he just turned his gaze away.

“Oh, are my opinions that important to you?

Why don’t you consult me when making other decisions?”

As a teenager’s insincerity was so obvious, how could Shu Wan not see it?

She smiled slightly, “This is your lunch.

I need to head back early this afternoon, so I won’t be joining you.”

“Don’t act like we’re close.

Whether you go back or not is none of my business,” Fu Yang retorted, taking a bite of his food and mumbling unclearly.

“If there’s anything, you can speak to the housekeeper.

If you run into any trouble, you can call me.” Although Fu Yang didn’t want to listen, Shu Wan was taking on the responsibility of raising him, and she still needed to say what was necessary, “Eat less greasy and spicy food.

It’s okay to have a slightly heavier meal, but remember to take the medicine I gave you after eating.”

“Why are you nagging so much?” Fu Yang hurried through his meal, rolling his eyes.

Fine, Shu Wan stopped talking and started having her lunch.

Before long, Fu Yang quickly finished his lunch and got off the car to leave.

However, Shu Wan called him back and handed him a small box.

“What’s this?” Fu Yang took the box, curious, and peeked inside.

It turned out to be a tube of ointment.

“What’s this for?”

Shu Wan pointed at Fu Yang’s knee.

“Didn’t you scrape your leg?

Apply this ointment twice a day, morning and evening.

It will heal in three days.”

Fu Yang clenched the box in his hands, his lips slightly pursed, “You really are nagging.

I don’t have any scrape, what are you talking about?”

Without waiting for Shu Wan to respond, Fu Yang ran off.

He ran so fast that the driver thought Fu Yang had fought with Shu Wan again.

“Young Madam, what’s wrong with Young Master?”

“It’s nothing,” Shu Wan’s eyes twinkled with a slight smile.

“Let’s head back.”

What else could it be?

The kid was just feeling a bit embarrassed.

At that moment in school, about ten minutes before classes started, everyone was joking and playing around until Fu Yang burst into the classroom like a gust of wind and sat down without saying a word.

Usually, Fu Yang hardly attended school and if he did show up recently, he’d just play basketball in the gym, wander around outside, and never spent time in the classroom, let alone arrive early.

“Brother Yang, why are you in the classroom today?

Is the sun rising from the west?”

“Beat it,” Fu Yang waved his hand impatiently, “Stop bothering me.”

“What’s up?” Seeing that Fu Yang was fiddling with a box in his hand, “What’s that?

That box looks pretty neat.”

Fu Yang glanced down at the box, then he chucked it carelessly into his classmate’s arms.

“Useless stuff, I’m giving it to you.”

“Really?

Thanks, Brother Yang.” Although the classmate didn’t know what was inside the box, he trusted anything from Fu Yang wouldn’t be bad, “I knew Brother Yang was the best.”

The classmate gleefully took the box back to his seat, just about to open it, when a pair of jade-like hands snatched it away, “Never mind, I might still have use for it.”
