Chapter 1036: Reviewing the Documents for the Experimental Class

Editor: Atlas Studios

The teachers at Capital University were elites from all walks of life, and those responsible for teaching the focused classes each had achieved the highest international recognition in their respective fields and were all bigwigs in academia. Hence, Gu Mang felt that it wasn’t appropriate for her to become a teacher when she hadn’t even graduated from university.

Principal Ren nearly choked when he heard that. "Let’s be real here; you’re not really here just for the graduation certificate, right?"

Gu Mang said nothing.

Capital University was the best institution in the country after all. Whoever dared to say that they were there just to get a graduation certificate would immediately learn that things wouldn’t be as easy as they think. Of course, this wasn’t applicable in Gu Mang’s case.

"You graduating is like jumping from first grade to eighth grade. I’ll give you two months to graduate with the current graduating batch. I’ll start preparing your valedictorian speech as well."

He’s got it all planned out. The corners of Principal Ren’s eyes couldn’t help twitching slightly, although what Yang Tianming said was true.

"Is there even a need to doubt your abilities?" Yang Tianming posed yet another question. "Not only are you the International Medical Competition’s champion, but nine of your formulas were also sent to the International Joint Medical Association and named after you. The graduation certificate is nothing compared to all these."

Gu Mang remained silent.

Lu Chengzhou used to study at Capital University and had spent six months each in the computer science experimental class and the artificial intelligence experimental class, learning everything he could and couldn’t learn. However, he was asked to graduate early as the various internationally renowned award-winning academicians and professors were afraid that he would end up crushing his classmates’ confidence.

That said, being a student was different from being a teacher, and this was especially so for the founder, who was basically responsible for everything from the curriculum to the teaching materials. There were many complicated things involved, and there would only be more things to deal with as the TCM experimental class was just starting out.

"Don’t worry, even if you agree to be in charge of the focused class, you can still continue to attend the Medical Informatics classes and research projects." Principal Ren looked at Gu Mang as he went straight to the point, saying, "I’m sure you’ll be able to multitask just fine."

The two highly respected leaders of the medical field stared at Gu Mang with sparkling eyes.

At that, Lu Chengzhou said, "Actually, it might be a little difficult for her."

Principal Ren and Yang Tianming turned to look at Lu Chengzhou in confusion.

Lu Chengzhou squeezed Gu Mang’s fingers as he gently said, "She’s pregnant now, so she can’t handle so many things at the same time."

Yang Tianming looked at them in shock as he blurted out, "P-pregnant? Didn’t you guys just hold your wedding?"

"Yes, but she’s in the fifth month of pregnancy already. She gets sleepy and tired really easily lately," answered Lu Chengzhou with a nod.

Yang Tianming’s eyes bulged. "S-she’s already in her second trimester?!"

Even Principal Ren could hardly believe his ears. Just moments ago, I was thinking that Gu Mang was likely the youngest student in our university to have gotten hitched. But now, he’s saying that she’s pregnant and in her second trimester!

Despite having been in high positions for years, Principal Ren and Yang Tianming completely forgot to control their facial expressions at this moment. Their mixed feelings could be seen in their eyes.

Gu Mang silently glanced at the calm and aloof-looking Lu Chengzhou before saying to the other two, "I can get Yu Zhongjing’s team to come up with the exam questions for the experimental class’s pre-selection round. Once the name list is out, let the students do experiments with Yu Zhongjing’s team."

Principal Ren had initially planned to form a team of teachers from Capital University with Gu Mang being the chief professor for the TCM experimental class, but after hearing the news that Gu Mang was pregnant, he reckoned that this plan would have to be delayed for a couple of years. He didn’t expect Gu Mang would let Yu Zhongjing’s team take charge instead.

Yu Zhongjing was just an honorary dean at Capital University because he was usually busy in the lab aside from attending various major summits. Capital University’s grooming project wasn’t important enough to invite him over to teach. Hence, Principal Ren and Yang Tianming were pleasantly delighted to hear what Gu Mang said.

"Elder Yu will be teaching the students?" Principal Ren tried his best to contain his excitement as he leaned forward slightly.

Gu Mang nodded. "I’ll come up with a teaching plan with Yu Zhongjing and his team to finalize the core curriculum first. It’s just that the class might only officially start a year later."

She didn’t really have the energy to care about these matters now, so she decided to get Yu Zhongjing to teach the students some stuff first.

"Sure, sure, no problem." Principal Ren and Yang Tianming hurriedly agreed. "Let’s wait until your child is born."

Lu Chengzhou didn’t comment on the matter as he could help Gu Mang with stuff like coming up with the curriculum.

Yang Tianming looked at Gu Mang hesitantly. "Uh, so will you still be attending Professor Tang’s classes these few months?"

Gu Mang hummed an acknowledgement. "Professor Tang intends to build a medical information network, so he’s been asking me to come back."

Basically, it would be a highly intelligent network that provided data analysis on the patients’ condition. As it would also require a lot of electrical equipment in the later stages, it was considered the largest project Professor Tang had in recent years.

Although he currently wasn’t present due to a surgery that he had to perform, Principal Ren and Yang Tianming knew about the medical information network as well. In fact, this project had received a lot of attention from both the medical community and a lot of medical device companies.

As Yang Tianming thought about the next course of action, he said, "Gu Mang, then let’s start preparing for the experimental class first." She needs time to prepare her materials as well.

"Okay," answered Gu Mang as she sipped on her cup of water.

...

The office building was some distance away from the Medical Faculty.

After sending Gu Mang to the entrance of the Medical Faculty, Lu Chengzhou positioned himself to face her with his head bowing slightly. "Remember to take your meal on time. I’ve already made arrangements at World Restaurant. Just send me a message if you want to eat my cooking. I’ll come early to pick you up in the afternoon and make it for you tonight."

"Okay."

Lu Chengzhou continued. "Don’t do any experiments that involve radiation. If you need to move anything in the lab, get Lu Qi to do it for you."

Gu Mang nodded.

"I’ve already got someone to check all the elevators in the Medical Faculty; they’re working fine. But be careful when you’re using the stairs." Lu Chengzhou went on rambling, "Drink more water, and give me a call if you feel unwell. Also—"

"Lu Chengzhou," Gu Mang interrupted with a frown. "Do you have prenatal anxiety?"

Silence lingered in the air for a couple of seconds.

"Me? Prenatal... anxiety?" Lu Chengzhou repeated slowly.

Lu Yī and Lu Qi, who were standing next to them, let out a cough as they tried hard to hold back their laughter, their facial muscles twitching slightly as they did so. They had only heard about expectant mothers suffering from prenatal anxiety and had never seen any man suffering from it.

Lu Chengzhou fell silent as he looked at Gu Mang’s flat belly. "Can it happen to me too?"

"No? But you’ve been nagging since last night." Gu Mang paused before saying, "I’m sick of listening to your nagging."

She’s sick of my nagging? She’s sick of me? Lu Chengzhou stared into her eyes and exhaled before leaning closer toward her and whispering, "We’ve just gotten married, but you’re starting to get sick of me already? Can you not be such a scumbag?"

When Gu Mang didn’t say anything, he held her chin between his fingers and rubbed his thumb over it. "Fine, I won’t nag anymore."

Gu Mang raised an eyebrow as Lu Chengzhou turned to Lu Qi. "Have you memorized the contents in the document I sent you yesterday?"

In Lu Qi’s hand was a bag that contained snacks that Lu Chengzhou had specially prepared for Gu Mang.

"Yes," replied Lu Qi respectfully as he bowed his head.

Lu Chengzhou then retracted his gaze and caressed Gu Mang’s face while speaking gently, "I’ll come pick you up in the afternoon."

"Mm." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After Lu Chengzhou left, Gu Mang entered the Medical Faculty with Lu Qi.

Because it was currently lesson time and the postgraduate students were in the lab, not many people were lingering outside in the corridors. Basically, everyone recognized her because she was famous in school; their gazes kept roaming toward her when they noticed her presence.

Gu Mang entered the elevator with Lu Qi. Once the doors closed, she faced him and asked, "The document that Lu Chengzhou sent you yesterday... Is it related to me?"

"Yes," answered Lu Qi truthfully. "He’s planned a timetable for you and listed out some things that I have to pay attention to regarding your diet."

Gu Mang nodded and didn’t ask further.

It was almost 9 am by the time they reached the lab. The seniors were a bit surprised to see Gu Mang as it had been six months since they last saw her. One by one, they greeted her. "You’re back, Gu Mang."

Gu Mang politely greeted back. "Seniors."

All of them knew about Gu Mang’s marriage. A netizen had run a check on the Lu family’s background and found out that the Lu family was very influential in the capital. As such, the seniors were rather restrained when they saw her.

They didn’t know about Gu Mang’s other identity as all news concerning Gu Mang that came from Jijing Island had been suppressed. Hence, when they saw her talking to them as she did in the past without any airs, they gradually relaxed and behaved more naturally, although they were a bit confused to see Lu Qi enter the lab as well.

Lu Qi placed his bag down on the seat next to Gu Mang’s and then took a look at the time. Upon seeing that it was 9 AM sharp, he took out a thermos flask and handed it to Gu Mang. "Please drink water, Madam."

Gu Mang, who was currently tidying up her table, received the flask from him and put it at the corner of the table.

"Madam, it’s time for you to drink water. You should drink it before you continue tidying up the table."

Gu Mang paused and glanced sideways at him.

That one look sent Lu Qi shivering as he bowed his head. "This is the pregnancy timetable that Young Master Lu has arranged for you. Please make things easier for me by drinking the water on time."

Everyone’s gaze collectively snapped to Gu Mang, their eyes bulging just like how Principal Ren and Yang Tianming did half an hour ago.

Gu Mang calmly picked up the flask and took a large gulp before continuing to tidy her table.

Although everyone in the lab had found out about Gu Mang’s pregnancy, nobody leaked the news.

Professor Tang, however, was somewhat glum to hear this when he returned from his operation at the university hospital. Everyone in the Medical Informatics field is busy with experiments and can’t help wishing there were 48 hours in a day. Everyone in the lab is single because they simply don’t have the time for love and relationships. Yet, not only did Gu Mang get married, but she’s even pregnant now. Really, she’s ahead of everyone in the lab in all aspects.

"Are you able to keep up?" asked Professor Tang.

Gu Mang nodded, "Yes."

"Alright." That was all Professor Tang asked. "Let me know if you need to take time off."

"Will do. Thank you, Professor Tang," replied Gu Mang.

Everyone then began doing their own work.

At 10 AM, Lu Qi reminded Gu Mang to get up and move around for a bit as she had been sitting for an hour.

Gu Mang did as he reminded and got up to make a trip to the clinical test room to prepare the things she needed for the experiment in the afternoon. She was done preparing the things in ten minutes and thus went back to the lab to continue writing her program.

At 11 AM, Lu Qi, who had been quietly sitting at the side, stood up once more and took out some nuts and fruits from his bag. He opened the box and placed them in front of Gu Mang. "It’s snack time, Madam."

This is the third time. Gu Mang glanced at the nine-compartment lunch box with pursed lips. "Send me a copy of that document."

Doing as told, Lu Qi immediately whipped out his phone and sent the document over.

While picking up a nut with one hand, Gu Mang clicked open the document with her other hand. The document read as followed:

Gu Mang’s Pregnancy Timetable

7.30 AM: Wake up and drink lemon water to detox

8 AM: Breakfast - porridge, fruit yogurt, and food high in calories and rich in vitamins)

9 AM: Drink water (Must drink more)

10 AM: Move around (Cannot let her sit or lie down for a long time, or she’ll feel uncomfortable)

11 AM: Eat snacks

12.30 PM: Nutritious lunch (Must eat more colorful vegetables and fresh fish. Gu Mang likes hot-and-sour fish and mala prawn.)

1.30 PM: Afternoon nap (She has to sleep with legs raised, or it’ll be easy for her to develop varicose veins. If she doesn’t want to sleep, she should go for a walk in the sun.)

3 PM: Drink more water and eat some fruits

Prenatal anxiety, huh? Speechless, Gu Mang saved the document to her favorites and her phone down to finish the snacks that had been prepared for her. After that, she drank another cup of water.

Tch, give him an inch and he wants a mile, thought Gu Mang.
