Once the old specialist had spoken, the gazes trained on Shui Anluo sharpened.

Shui Anluo frowned and kept quiet.

“Old Qiao, it really was my fault for not giving clear instructions.” Lin Qianchen smiled.

Shui Anluo could not resist rolling her eyes. Qiao Yaruan was about to speak up when Shui Anluo held her back. “Specialist Qiao, some rumors may not be true.”

“This girl...” Old Qiao looked even uglier after being refuted at.

“Specialist Qiao, I’m not trying to contradict you but I only hope that you would come up with a conclusion after seeing the results of the matter.” Shui Anluo nodded, looking slightly humble.

“Why are you kissing up to someone like that?” Qiao Yaruan murmured in her ear.

“Empress Dowager, allow me to educate you on being sly. The more you go against people like these who take advantage of one’s character, the more they would find time to waste on you,” Shui Anluo replied softly into her ear. “While we avoid getting bullied, we have to hit back with sly tactics.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I haven’t seen you in just three days and you, little idiot, have turned into little slyboots.” Qiao Yaruan stared at Shui Anluo with the eyes of a student. In truth, she was consoling Shui Anluo.

Since Shui Anluo had put it that way, the old specialist had nothing more to say. Today’s consultation involved a patient with rare heart disease. Most of the doctors from the surgical department have arrived and were now standing around the patient in the ward.

Acute Coronary Artery Syndrome was one of the more serious types of heart disease. There has never been a proper form of medication for it to this very day.

The old specialist held power and prestige over this case and Shui Anluo was particularly interested in heart disease so she listened to her very seriously.

However, as Shui Anluo listened to her, she felt that there was an inconsistency with the notes her senior brother had given her so she could not help but raise her hand. “Lecturer, regarding the medical procedure for Acute Coronary Artery Syndrome, there have been some cases overseas where they’ve used...”

Before Shui Anluo could finish speaking, Lin Qianchen glared at her.

“Are you a lecturer?” Lin Qianchen chastised her.

“I...”

“Continue,” The old specialist waved her hand and silenced Lin Qianchen as she looked at Shui Anluo.

Shui Anluo took a deep breath and continued, “I came across some information a while ago and in terms of the medical procedure, they chose to...”

Shui Anluo may be lagging in her studies but she learned very quickly when it comes to topics that actually interest her. Therefore, she had pretty much memorized her senior brother’s notes.

As Shui Anluo spoke, the dissatisfaction in the old specialist’s eyes slowly disappeared to be replaced by a sense of admiration.

“Not bad, little girl. When did you reinvent yourself? With this kind of ability, how could you possibly have failed your subjects?” Qiao Yaruan was also shocked. After Shui Anluo finished speaking, she could not help but praise her.

“Senior Brother’s notes,” Shui Anluo smiled. ‘Thank you, Senior Brother, for giving me another chance to pretend.’

“Oh...” Qiao Yaruan’s expression changed a bit but she soon reverted to her normal expression. “Let me have a look at them later.”

“Alright!”

“Shui Anluo, was it? I want a report from you about this disease this afternoon.” The old specialist instructed before she continued her explanation.

‘Huh?’

Shui Anluo paused, had she gone overboard with her pretense?

Everything she had said was based on someone else’s report. It was not good for her to put it in a report as it was not her own research either.

“Haha...” Qiao Yaruan leaned against her shoulder and tried not to laugh. The joy in her heart was soaring into the skies, this girl has now run into misfortune from her own pretense.
