Actually, Liu Shimei wasn’t someone overflowing with sympathy; she just couldn’t stand seeing others suffer the same fate as her.

People tend to sympathize with those who have faced similar experiences, finding resonance in shared hardships, which often leads to unusual decisions.

Liu Shimei sighed and said, “I never intended to take in a child for medical training. But her pitiful situation aside, the crucial point is that she’s a genius!” “What do you mean by genius?” Huangfu Lingyao asked, almost disgusted with his own foolish question.

He had already reviewed the girl’s records. When he saw them, he was astonished, thinking, ‘How can such a person exist in this world!’

Shu Jun might have had the most brilliant mind when it came to logic, but this little girl named Shu Yutong, at the mere age of six, had already mastered the intricacies of the human body’s meridians. She hadn’t even fully learned to read yet, but she possessed a terrifying nose!

She could categorize all medicinal herbs just by smelling them. Not to mention, blindfolded, she could sniff medicinal herbs and describe their year of harvest and quality in great detail!

Such a talent was utterly maddening, evoking jealousy to the point of madness —a person so extraordinary that even the ancestors would be amazed!

She explained to her foolish husband what it meant to be a genius and continued, “Let me tell you how amazing she is…”

After listening attentively, Huangfu Lingyao asked, “So, Wife actually wants to take her as an apprentice?”

But…

He raised a question, “Wife, why don’t you want to work as a doctor with a child? Is it because you don’t like kids?”

Her answer was crucial!

If she didn’t like kids, would they even have children in the future? How many would they have? All the answers lay in her response!

He hoped desperately: please don’t let it be that she doesn’t like kids; I want to have many with her in the future!

Thankfully, Liu Shimei did not hesitate, “It’s not that I don’t like kids; it’s just that I find taking care of them troublesome…”

She stopped abruptly, glancing at the silly puppy beside her.

Huangfu Lingyao also froze, catching the look she had. In his heart, he bitterly thought, ‘So, I’m the reason she hesitates! She finds it troublesome to work with such a big child like me!’

He felt heartbroken. His wife found him bothersome; it was so disheartening! Life lost its charm!

Meeting the injured gaze of the silly puppy, Liu Shimei understood the meaning of putting one’s foot in one’s mouth.

But could she explain?

Absolutely not!

If she explained, it would confirm her earlier statement.

So, Liu Shimei didn’t explain. Instead, she continued stiffly, “You know, I always have to travel around. I’m only sixteen myself; I don’t have any experience with taking care of children. So, if I have to take care of a six-year-old, I have to feed her three meals a day, and I have to worry about her getting lost. I really don’t know where to start!”

After a moment’s thought, she added, “It’s like Little Fifteen and Little Sixteen, those two. Apart from buying them some good food, I have no idea how to interact with them!”

One had to admit, she chose the most suitable way, the explanation that made Huangfu Lingyao feel comfortable in his heart!

Her silly puppy and real children were indeed different.

But did this end his inquiry?

Of course not!

He pursed his lips and said, “Didn’t you say to Ninth Brother that I’m just a child? Taking me around every day, isn’t that troublesome for you?”

Liu Shimei,”!!!”
