Chapter 20

Fang Qiu turned his head to look at Shen Chun, who was hurriedly chasing after him.

"Classmate, I wonder where you learned your bone-setting skills?"

Shen Chun was clearly very interested in Fang Qiu.

"I learned it from an old man in my hometown."

Fang Qiu did not tell the truth, as the real story would be too shocking and it was also a big secret of his.

Shen Chun clearly believed Fang Qiu's words and sighed, "There are truly talented people in the folk!"

After saying that, he smiled and asked, "I wonder if you're interested in an internship at the hospital's orthopedic department?"

An internship?

Fang Qiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a salary?"

Shen Chun: "..."

He never expected this student to be so straightforward, thinking he would have other requests.

For example, a tight schedule.

For example, heavy study pressure.

Or, no time.

But you asked if there's money??

Shen Chun said helplessly, "Usually, students get a stipend for internships, about 800 yuan a month."

After saying that, he saw Fang Qiu frown and quickly added, "However, your situation is a bit special. We can hire you on a special basis, but we need to assess your skills to see if you're up to the task."

"Alright!"

Fang Qiu agreed directly.

The internship at the hospital did indeed interest him; it was a great opportunity to improve his bone-setting skills.

Moreover, he was really short on money and needed to earn some.

As for the assessment, he wasn't worried at all with his own abilities.

"Alright, when are you available?"

Shen Chun asked with a smile, already thinking about how to test the student's true abilities during the assessment.

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, "According to my schedule, I'm free on Wednesday afternoon."

"Alright, let's meet at 3:30 PM on Wednesday at the orthopedic department on the seventh floor of the affiliated hospital."

"Alright!"

The two shook hands, officially making the agreement, then exchanged phone numbers and parted ways.

Fang Qiu returned to his class and saw that Jiang Miaoyu had already been carried away on a stretcher by the medical staff.

He hoped it wouldn't affect her speech tomorrow.

The first round of rehearsals ended, and the second round began.

Night fell.

In the girls' dormitory.

Jiang Miaoyu lay in bed, feeling the pain in her ankle, unable to sleep.

She picked up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally typed a message.

"I have a question for you. When I was silent, I saw a hint of sadness and sorrow in your eyes. Was it intentional, or was it real?"

Her finger hovered over the send button for a while.

Finally, she sighed.

And deleted the message.

...

The next morning, all the freshmen stood on the playground, full of spirit, waiting for the final inspection to begin.

At 8:30 AM, the inspection started.

Fang Qiu, standing at the front of his class, saw Jiang Miaoyu slowly walk up to the podium.

Her steps were slow.

But Fang Qiu clearly noticed that she was trying hard to endure the pain and walk normally.

She was a strong girl.

Fang Qiu thought to himself.

"Respected leaders, instructors, teachers, and dear classmates: Good morning, everyone!"

Jiang Miaoyu walked up to the podium with determination, without any notes, and her pleasant voice echoed across the entire playground through the speakers.

No one spoke, and thunderous applause broke out.

"It is a great honor to represent the freshmen of Jiangjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and speak here..."

Throughout her speech, applause broke out multiple times.

Everyone gave her the warmest applause.

Three minutes later, her speech ended, and the parade officially began.

One by one, the neatly arranged squads marched past the podium, all saluting as they passed.

"Everyone, let's do our best!"

It was almost time for Class 3, and the instructor walked around the squad, correcting the students' postures and speaking sternly.

"Let's do our best!"

Everyone said in low voices, their expressions serious.

They were slightly excited and nervous.

At this moment, they felt like a real army about to go into battle, solemn and dignified.

Everyone was filled with boundless enthusiasm, ready to shine in the upcoming moment.

"Next up is Class 3 of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."

As the host introduced them, Class 3, led by Fang Qiu and a female classmate, marched toward the podium in perfect unison.

Even before they reached the podium, the整齐划一的 footsteps had already made the ground of the podium vibrate.

The leaders and officers on the podium all looked at Class 3 in surprise.

Seeing the straight, powerful, and perfectly standard figure at the front, the officers couldn't help but be impressed.

What a fine and impressive figure!

What a standard posture!

The officer who had been brought by the instructor looked at Fang Qiu at the front of the squad with a mix of surprise and admiration.

But most of the attention was on Chen Cong at the front of the formation.

He was the one the officer had found to be a good prospect at Jiangjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As for the mysterious person, he was too mysterious and had not been identified yet.

Seeing the perfectly aligned and unyielding momentum of Class 3, all the officers and leaders gave them a high evaluation.

As they were about to reach the podium, Fang Qiu took a deep breath and shouted solemnly, "March in step!"

Swish!

The entire Class 3 instantly changed to a parade step.

"Thud!" "Thud!"

The synchronized footsteps.

This level of precision was on par with a real military unit!

Great!

The officers on the podium praised.

The other classes were also shocked by the precision and momentum of Class 3.

They usually didn't show their true strength, but now they were really showing their stuff.

"Salute!"

Fang Qiu shouted.

Swish!

Everyone turned their heads to the right, raised their right hands to their brows, and performed a standard salute.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap~"

The leaders and officers on the podium couldn't help but applaud.

This was the first time they had applauded today, and it was spontaneous.

None of the previous classes had received applause, and this might be the last time today.

They felt that no other class would be better than this one.

The school leaders remembered Fang Qiu at the front, and the officers remembered the instructor who had trained them well.

"Salute over!"

As soon as they passed the podium, Fang Qiu shouted with a strong voice.

All the students in Class 3 lowered their right hands and changed from a parade step to a quick step.

They slowly moved away from the podium, their parade over. Their ten-day military training was officially concluded, and their college life was about to begin.

The parade continued for the other classes, and all the classes that had finished the parade stood on the podium, watching quietly.

At 10:30 AM, the parade ended.

The "Model Company" award was presented, and Class 3, where Fang Qiu was, was the only class announced.

Throughout the parade, the leaders and officers only applauded once, and it was for Class 3.

The instructor of Class 3 excitedly went up to receive the award, and the students of Class 3 gave the loudest applause and shouted "Great!"

The remaining eight excellent companies were also announced.

The entire parade ceremony was dominated by Class 3, who stole the show.

But the other classes couldn't help but be impressed. They looked at their own formations and then at Class 3.

The difference was obvious.

They were truly impressed.

After the awards were presented, just as the school leaders were about to announce the end of the parade, a staff member rushed to the podium and whispered something to the vice president.

However, the microphone in front of the vice president was on.

"President, it's not good!"

Xiao Chen said anxiously, "A third-year female student is attempting suicide on the teaching building. Please come and see!"

He pointed to the teaching building next to the playground.

This was a serious situation.

Everyone in the audience heard it, and there was a commotion.

Someone is trying to commit suicide?!

Everyone looked at the teaching building, and they could see a figure on the roof, with a crowd gathered below.

"What?!"

The vice president stood up in shock, covering the microphone and asking urgently, "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems to be a suicide over a relationship. Please come and see."

The staff member said nervously.

Others might not have heard, but Fang Qiu heard clearly.

Sigh!

Suicide over a relationship?

Why go to such lengths!

The vice president didn't even announce the end of the parade and rushed to the teaching building.

It was the first day of the new semester, and a student was already trying to commit suicide.

How immature are these kids? Don't they think about their parents?

The other leaders followed closely behind.

Several officers and instructors rushed to the teaching building to help.

The freshmen on the playground looked at each other and then all ran toward the teaching building.

Fang Qiu was the first to run to the teaching building.

He arrived quickly and heard people around him discussing.

"What's going on? Why is someone trying to commit suicide?"

"I heard it's a couple. The boy is a third-year, and the girl is a second-year. The boy cheated on her from the beginning, and the girl couldn't bear it and decided to commit suicide."

"That boy is a scumbag, but the girl shouldn't be so desperate. Who doesn't encounter a few scumbags in life?"

"I'm not sure. There might be more to the story."

...

Fang Qiu frowned and looked up at the roof.

The girl was sitting at the corner of the roof, hugging her head and crying.

He calmly observed the teaching building.

The building was only five stories high, not very tall, but if a girl really wanted to die, jumping headfirst would certainly be fatal.

"Move aside! Move aside!"

The vice president, who was running at the front, pushed through the crowd.

The students saw the vice president and made way.

The young officer and instructors arrived and immediately assessed the situation, discussing how to rescue the girl.

Soon, the young officer approached the vice president, who was gathering information, and said in a low voice, "President, please call 119 and 120. They might not arrive in time, so please have students bring enough blankets to make a safety cushion."

"Alright! No problem!"

The vice president knew the situation was urgent and immediately arranged for students to bring blankets.

The young officer looked up at the girl and said, "Also, try to stabilize her emotions. She's very agitated, so don't provoke her. Talk to her to distract her, and try to convince her not to commit suicide."

"I and my team will prepare some ropes and then approach her from behind to pull her back. We need your cooperation to distract her."

"If she notices us, I'll try to hold her and convince her. At the very least, we need to wait for 119 or enough blankets."

The vice president immediately asked, "Are you confident?"

The officer nodded firmly and said, "As long as you distract her, I'm confident. I've already seen the rooftop photos and know what to do."

"Please save this child. I'm counting on you!"

The vice president said sincerely.

The young officer nodded solemnly, quickly took off his uniform, loosened his collar and buttons, and began preparing.
