Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

Lin Huaixu's gaze inadvertently swept over her hand, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

The girl's hands were slender, but at this moment her knuckles and palms were covered with a dense array of tiny wounds. Some wounds were just broken skin, while others were deeper, with fine blood still clinging to them.

Lin Huaixu strode over, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of sullenness, "How did you get this hand injured?"

Qi Yang subconsciously looked down at her palm. She paused, then explained softly, "I was cutting grass in the field just now and accidentally scratched myself. It's nothing."

Children in the countryside often work in the fields, so these kinds of minor cuts are commonplace.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaixu frowned slightly and said softly, "Wait a moment."

He turned and walked to the locker in his office, opened the door, and took out a clean medicine box.

He returned with the medicine box, sat down in front of Qi Yang, and opened it. Inside, commonly used medicines were neatly arranged. His tone was serious and left no room for refusal: "Raise your hand, let me help you tidy up."

Qi Yang was slightly taken aback.

Lin Huaixu had already picked up the iodine solution and looked at her. "Here."

Qi Yang paused for a moment, then raised her hand.

Lin Huaixu took out a cotton cloth to clean her wound, his fingertips gently pressing against her wrist. The girl instinctively flinched, but was held down by him. His voice was soothing, "Don't move. This wound is covered in dirt. If it's not cleaned properly, it will easily become infected. It needs to be treated carefully."

Qi Yang stopped moving.

A cool breeze drifted in through the open wooden window, ruffling the lesson plan papers on the table.

Lin Huaixu lowered his eyes, pinched a cotton cloth between his fingertips, dipped it in iodine, and gently wiped her wound. After the dirt was wiped away, the fine scratches became clearer.

The young man paused, pursed his lips, and continued wiping.

As he wiped her, he kept an eye on Qi Yang's reaction. "Tell me if it hurts."

Qi Yang gave a soft "hmm".

After the wounds on her palms were treated, Qi Yang raised her hand, looking at the brown marks on her palms, and heard Lin Huaixu instruct her, "I'll apply the medicine again for you when you come tomorrow."

Qi Yang nodded gently, "Okay."

After saying that, she added, "Teacher Lin, you are truly a good teacher."

Lin Huaixu glanced at her with a faint smile in his eyes, then turned to the sink in the corner, found a clean towel, turned on the tap to wet it, and then turned back to her.

Qi Yang was somewhat confused and looked up as he approached.

Lin Huaixu raised his hand and gently covered her cheek with the towel.

Qi Yang subconsciously leaned back slightly. "What's wrong?"

Lin Huaixu said naturally, "Your face is covered in dust."

Qi Yang was taken aback, her cheeks flushing slightly.

So she just wandered around the village with that smeared face? She reached for the towel: "...I can do it myself."

Lin Huaixu met her eyes, and a slight sense of loss welled up in his heart for no apparent reason.

The soft touch of his fingertips on her palm seemed to linger vividly in his mind. He hummed in agreement and handed the towel to her.

Qi Yang took it, bent down and quickly wiped her face, removing all the dust in a few strokes, revealing her originally delicate and fair face.

She glanced at the gray stains on the white towel, instinctively hiding them to reveal the white side before whispering, "I'm done wiping."

Lin Huaixu took the towel away and casually put it in the basin.

Qi Yang glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the dirty side hadn't surfaced.

Lin Huaixu walked over, saw the cloth bag she had placed on the corner of the table, and asked, "What did you bring?"

Suddenly, Qi Yang remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Oh right, Teacher Lin, I brought you something."

Lin Huaixu was slightly taken aback. "What?"

Qi Yang lowered her head, reached into her coarse cloth bag and pulled out a small bag wrapped in an even smaller layer of cloth. She opened it and found a few potatoes and sweet potatoes inside. Qi Yang handed the bag to Lin Huaixu.

Lin Huaixu subconsciously accepted it, somewhat surprised. "Thank you. Why did you suddenly give me this?"

Qi Yang said sincerely, "Teacher Lin, thank you for tutoring me, but I don't have the money to pay for the tutoring right now. I'll pay you back when I get into university and start earning money."

Lin Huaixu's heart stirred slightly, and he softened a little.

He initially offered to teach her without expecting anything in return. After all, in his eyes, he was willing to help any child who wanted to learn.

But when Qi Yang said that she had grown it herself, her hand, which was about to refuse, inexplicably stopped.

He looked down at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in his palm, gently weighed them, and a smile appeared on his gentle face. "Thank you, I like them very much."

"Now that I've accepted your kindness, I must repay you properly."

Qi Yang was taken aback upon hearing this. Just as she was about to ask what she should repay him for, she heard Lin Huaixu's gentle voice sound again, "Take out your textbooks. I'll test your knowledge first."

...

The two sat side by side at a wooden table by the window, their shadows gently overlapping in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lin Huaixu lowered his head and wrote down a few questions on the paper. He selected basic questions that were appropriate for the transition from junior high to senior high school, with moderate difficulty, just enough to test a person's true ability.

Qi Yang lowered his head and scribbled on the paper.

In a short while, she finished all the basic test questions and placed them in front of Lin Huaixu.

Lin Huaixu took it, carefully opened it, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. The accuracy rate of the questions was very high, and the problem-solving ideas were also well-organized and clear, which was completely unlike the level that children in the village who had just finished primary school should have.

He looked at the girl beside him and said, "Your foundation is not bad, and your level is no less than that of a regular junior high school student. I believe that if you study hard, you may be able to get into university in a few years."

Qi Yang had already prepared a perfect explanation in her mind, and her face showed no flaws. She reached out and took out the notebook that Chu Wangshu had given her from her cloth bag, pushed it in front of Lin Huaixu, and explained softly.

"I was lucky. A neighbor girl who lives near my house gave me her study notes. She is a very good student and works very hard. She is obviously a college student. Knowing that I wanted to study, she gave me her notes. I usually flip through them when I have free time and have also learned a little on my own."

Lin Huaixu was slightly surprised. He took the notebook and carefully read it for several days. The more he read, the more surprised he became.

He nodded, his eyes full of admiration: "It's clear that the person who wrote this notebook is very skilled. Their level of expertise is comparable to that of high school students in the city."

Qi Yang echoed confidently, "Everyone in our village and surrounding areas knows she's very hardworking, and she'll definitely get into university someday."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up at Lin Huaixu and asked, "Teacher Lin, do you have any college entrance exam review materials here?"

Lin Huaixu hesitated for a moment, then explained gently, "Yes, there is, but for now, you can put it aside for the time being."

Qi Yang said sincerely, "If I don't need it, I can lend it to my neighbor's older sister. She's been preparing for the exam, but the village is isolated and she can't find any decent study materials."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaixu pondered for a moment, "That works too. I can prepare a few exam papers similar to the college entrance examination for her."

Qi Yang's eyes instantly crinkled into a smile. "Teacher Lin, you're so kind."
