The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 299 Bai Muqing (4k)

The next day, at dusk.

The VIP ward was quiet. Gu Heng was half-lying on the hospital bed, holding a high school English textbook from the first semester. He looked extremely focused.

Luo Xiwen sat on the sofa not far away, and every ten minutes or so, she could hear the sound of pages turning coming from Gu Heng's side.

When she came to relieve Xu Mo today, she heard that Gu Heng wanted to take the college entrance examination this year. At first, she thought that Gu Heng was just acting on a whim, but after a whole day, she found that Gu Heng seemed to be taking this matter seriously.

Looking at Gu Heng in this state, Luo Xiwen inexplicably recalled when Gu Heng suddenly wanted to gain muscle and lose fat last year. At that time, Gu Heng's state was similar to that now. Once he made up his mind, he did not hesitate at all. He was completely focused and went all out.

In just ten weeks, Gu Heng went from having no figure to a super-fit man who was muscular when dressed and slim when undressed.

Loshvin witnessed the entire process firsthand.

That kind of hellish, devilish training was so bad it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as self-torture.

Now, Gu Heng wants to start from scratch and aim for the first-tier university entrance exam score in 100 days.

If someone else told her this, she would definitely think they were crazy. But she had inexplicable confidence in Gu Heng, feeling that as long as Gu Heng wanted to do it, he could definitely achieve his goal.

At this moment, beneath Gu Heng's seemingly calm and focused expression, his heart was actually surging with emotion.

Awesome!
It’s really awesome!

Today, Gu Heng personally experienced the effects of the new buff, "Profound Stillness and Lofty Steadfastness," and only then did he understand just how powerful the "significantly improved thinking and memory abilities" that his father, the system master, had described were.

To say that one has a photographic memory is a bit of an exaggeration.

To say that he has a vivid memory after only three glances is not an exaggeration at all.

Gu Heng is currently holding a first-semester English textbook for the first year of high school. He started looking through its vocabulary list at noon today, and this is exactly the third time he has gone through it.

Gu Heng memorized all of the more than two thousand English words.

What does that feel like?
As long as the surroundings remain quiet and Gu Heng remains focused, his brain will instantly become absolutely clear, and his eyes will be like a scanner, leaving a deep impression with just a glance, maximizing his efficiency.

If Gu Heng was uneasy before starting his studies today, he is now full of confidence. After all, the feeling that he can immediately reap the rewards as long as he works hard is just wonderful.

"Dong dong dong..."

The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by a gentle knock on the door.

"Coming."

Luo Xiwen glanced at Gu Heng, then got up and went to open the door.

"Dr. Qiu, please come in."

Upon opening the door, the woman standing at the front was none other than Qiu Yuexin, whom Gu Heng had risked his life to save that day. Behind Qiu Yuexin was a girl who looked very young, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and appeared quiet and gentle.

Luo Xiwen naturally knew Qiu Yuexin.

Since Gu Heng regained consciousness, Qiu Yuexin has visited him every day. Sometimes she comes alone, sometimes with her husband Qi Jiasheng, and sometimes with both sets of parents. She visits him without fail, rain or shine.

However, the young girl behind Qiu Yuexin was someone Luo Xiwen was seeing for the first time.

Despite wearing glasses, her stunning beauty was still undeniable.

She has delicate and refined features, fair and smooth skin, and glossy black hair. Although she was wearing a cotton-padded coat and it was difficult to see her figure clearly, judging from her height alone, she should be no less than 170 cm tall, and her physique is also quite good.

(That's roughly the feeling, just for reference, please don't criticize if you don't like it)

If Luo Xiwen possesses a dignified and gentle beauty, then the girl before them embodies a classical and serene beauty, like a lady stepping out of an ancient painting, carrying the warmth and tranquility of the plum rain season in Jiangnan.

Ok……

I recognized her from her eyes; she was Gu Heng's type.

Luo Xiwen thought to himself, but outwardly greeted Qiu Yuexin and the other person as they walked into the ward.

"Ah Heng, how are you feeling today?"

Qiu Yuexin looked at Gu Heng on the hospital bed with a familiar tone, and her gaze was extremely gentle, as if she were looking at her own younger brother.

"The doctor came to check on me at noon and said I'm recovering exceptionally well."

Gu Heng picked up a pear from the bedside table and handed it to Qiu Yuexin: "Sister Yuexin, have some fruit, don't be shy."

"I won't eat the fruit."

"I'm here today to introduce someone to you."

As Qiu Yuexin spoke, she turned her gaze to the young girl beside her: "Aheng, let me introduce you. This is my student, Bai Muqing. She is 25 years old this year, graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's and master's degree, and was admitted to Jilin University to pursue her doctorate last year."

“Yesterday, after your brother Heng told me about it, I contacted Mu Qing for you. She will be in charge of your studies in Chinese, Mathematics and English for the next 100 days.”

"Don't think that your sister is being nepotistic. She is definitely promoting people without regard to their relatives. You should know that the year Mu Qing took the college entrance examination, Mu Qing scored 734 points and became the top science student in our province."

As she finished speaking, Qiu Yuexin's tone inexplicably carried a hint of pride. After all, Bai Muqing was now her student, and last year, because of his admiration for her, he resolutely chose to reject Lian Bo's invitation from Tsinghua University and instead came to Jilin University to become her first disciple.

As Gu Heng listened to Qiu Yuexin's introduction, his gaze inevitably fell on Bai Muqing's face.

Quiet, classical, aloof...

Silver-rimmed glasses sat atop her straight nose, a few strands of hair fell beside her ears, and she remained remarkably calm in the face of Gu Heng's gaze.

Both Bai Muqing and Jiang Ruan are aloof, but Bai Muqing's aloofness and Jiang Ruan's aloofness are completely different. The former's aloofness comes from her personality, while the latter's aloofness comes from her temperament.

Provincial champion!
Beautiful and academically gifted!

This must be the white moonlight of so many boys' youthful years!
Looking at Bai Muqing in front of him, Gu Heng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Hello, Teacher Bai."

"I am Gu Heng. I'm entrusting the next 100 days to you."

Gu Heng trusted Qiu Yuexin's judgment, so after Qiu Yuexin finished her introduction, Gu Heng raised his right hand and politely greeted Bai Muqing.

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

"I will do my best in the next 100 days."

Bai Muqing bowed slightly to Gu Heng and shook hands with him.

The touch of fingertips was cool and smooth.

The two sides briefly touched and then parted ways without saying anything more.

"Mu Qing is my student, and I currently only have Mu Qing as my student, so Mu Qing's time is relatively flexible. You two can arrange a time later."

Looking at her quiet and beautiful beloved student, and then at Gu Heng, whom she regarded as her own younger brother and who was handsome and dashing, Qiu Yuexin felt for some reason that the two of them were a perfect match: "As for the three elective courses for history, politics and economics, your brother Ziheng is already helping you make contact. They are all senior and renowned teachers from the top tier of Jilin Province, and we will have results soon."

"it is good."

"Thank you for taking such good care of me, my brothers and sisters."

Gu Heng responded with a smile.

"They're all family."

Qiu Yuexin waved her hand: "Why are you being so polite with us?"

She came to Gu Heng today to introduce Bai Muqing to him. Now that her mission was accomplished, and seeing Gu Heng's increasingly better health, she didn't linger there any longer.

"Aheng, do you want to start today or tomorrow?"

Qiu Yuexin asked Gu Heng, "Starting today?"

Gu Heng is now racing against time and cannot afford to waste any more.

"Row."

"Then let's start today."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuexin turned to Bai Muqing and said, "Muqing, can you start today?"

"Teacher, I'm fine."

Bai Muqing's voice was like jade beads falling onto a plate, very pleasant to hear.

"Then you stay here."

"It's almost time, I need to go home and breastfeed Zhengzheng."

Qiu Yuexin raised her hand to check the time and gestured to Bai Muqing.

"Teacher, please continue with your work."

Bai Muqing behaved very politely: "I can stay here by myself."

"Don't worry, Yuexin."

Gu Heng added at the opportune moment, "After Teacher Bai finishes tutoring me, I will send someone and a car to take her back. Don't worry about her safety."

"That's fine."

"That's it."

With Gu Heng's last words in mind, Qiu Yuexin was finally able to relax completely.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

After Qiu Yuexin left, only Gu Heng, Luo Xiwen, and Bai Muqing remained in the ward.

For a moment, the room became quiet.

"Teacher Bai, please sit down..."

"I'll go cut some fruit for you."

Luo Xiwen broke the silence first, picked up some fruit and quickly walked towards the sink, while Bai Muqing silently took off her bulky cotton coat, revealing the clothes underneath.

A gray knitted cardigan paired with a dark blue shirt is a very ordinary winter outfit, but on Bai Muqing, it looks surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

"Teacher Bai, did Sister Yuexin tell you about my situation?"

Gu Heng looked at Bai Muqing and asked.

"said."

Bai Muqing nodded: "Your goal is to reach the first-tier university entrance exam cutoff score in Jilin Province this year, with zero high school knowledge, in just 100 days, right?"

While confirming the situation with Gu Heng, she took out a notebook and a ballpoint pen from her backpack. When she opened the notebook, the first few blank pages were filled with dense, delicate handwriting.

"Yes."

Gu Heng nodded slightly in affirmation.

"Mr. Gu, to be frank..."

Bai Muqing said quite seriously, "It's unrealistic to think that you can master all three main subjects and three elective subjects in a hundred days and make them all strong. So we must distinguish between primary and secondary subjects before we start learning."

Before that, I'd like to know how good your memory is?

"Because English, Chinese, history, politics and biology are all subjects that rely heavily on accumulation, if you have a good memory, then among the three main subjects I am responsible for, I will put English first, then Chinese, and then mathematics."

"Conversely, if your memory isn't good, I'll reverse the order of importance of these three main subjects, putting math first, Chinese in the middle, and English last."

Bai Muqing did not blindly impart knowledge to Gu Heng from the outset, but instead analyzed the specific situation and determined Gu Heng's future learning plan with Gu Heng as the leader.

"Um……"

Gu Heng pointed to the English textbook in front of him: "I spent half a day memorizing all the words in the vocabulary book. Do you think my memory is good or bad?"

long time?

Did you memorize all of the more than two thousand words?

Bai Muqing's gaze fell on the English textbook for the first semester of the first year of high school. When she heard what Gu Heng said, she was slightly stunned.

Although most of the words in the vocabulary list of the first semester of the first year of high school are relatively basic and simple, there are still a lot of words.

Even for her, it took a full four days.

The other person, however, memorized it all in just half a day?

Bai Muqing found it hard to believe Gu Heng's explanation.

"Mr. Gu, if you can really do what you say, then your memory is naturally excellent. But are you sure that what you mean by memorizing is long-term memory and not short-term memory?"

Bai Muqing's expression turned slightly serious as she asked Gu Heng for confirmation again.

"I am sure."

Gu Heng was quite certain.

"Well."

"I believe you."

"Later, I might increase the speed as much as possible during the coaching process."

Bai Muqing neither questioned nor denied it.

Whether it's true or false, the feedback Gu Heng gives her after she finishes tutoring him won't lie.

"can."

Gu Heng agreed.

"Then let's start with English today. You just said you've memorized all the words in this book, so I'll explain the grammar in this book to you now."

Bai Muqing, a former provincial top scorer, achieved perfect scores in both English and mathematics. Even though she graduated from high school many years ago, she still feels no sense of unfamiliarity when she looks back at those high school subjects.

Moreover, Bai Muqing's research field is the same as that of Qiu Yuexin, who is his mentor; both are in the field of materials and chemical engineering.

The school has very high requirements for English and mathematics in daily life, so there is no possibility that after graduating from high school, one can simply put down the books and forget all the knowledge.

As the tutoring session began, Bai Muqing started talking more.

Because Gu Heng was injured, he could only sit facing forward, so Bai Muqing had to adapt to Gu Heng, which meant that her body had to be close to Gu Heng.

As they got closer, Bai Muqing's unique, faint fragrance seemed to drift into Gu Heng's nostrils.

A beautiful woman by his side, amidst the fragrance of ink and paper.

Gu Heng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's true that Brother Qingquan knows how to enjoy life. His English is really good. He really needs to learn English!
Despite his sighs, Gu Heng understood the priorities. He quickly regained his composure and, under Bai Muqing's earnest guidance, immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge...
