"Oh, so that's the situation. Zhang Guilan used the excuse of becoming an apprentice, and this is what she said."
"She said that after learning my medical skills, she would be able to serve the villagers even better."
"Despite her being somewhat arrogant, she's not a bad person at heart. Plus, treating gynecological diseases would be much more convenient if a female doctor mastered these skills, compared to a man like me."
It was with this consideration in mind that I agreed to her request and took her on as my apprentice.
"Oh, Chen Xiaolong, so that's what you were thinking."
Xu Xiaoting grabbed his arm, but the next second, she gave Chen Xiaolong a harsh glare.
"That was not very kind of you, you know. I went to the woods to bring you home for dinner. Why didn't you explain the situation to me then?"
"Oh, Xiaoting, what could I have said to you? I wasn't doing anything to feel guilty about, and there was nothing to tell."
