Chapter 71: The Scandal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lan Yanran looked at the likes on her computer and exclaimed in surprise, “Sis, the likes alone broke 1 million!”

“Really? I didn’t notice.”

Lan Anran’s calm reply made Lan Yanran admire his sister more and more.

“Sis, you’re so cool!”

Lan Yanran took a peek at her messages.

“Sis, someone wants you as their master and wants to study medicine with you. Aren’t you going to respond?”

Lan Yanran smiled.

“Don’t care…” Lan Anran said slowly as she took out the herbal soup that was about ready and placed it in a thermal flask.

She knew that many people would want her as their teacher, but she didn’t think it was time for her to accept a disciple. She wasn’t old enough, so how could she be their teacher? Wouldn’t it be a joke if word got out?

Lan Yanran found it amusing and while Lan Anran wasn’t paying attention, he secretly replied to the admirer who wanted to study with her.

“Hi, I saw your invitation and thank you for liking me. I don’t accept disciples easily. You can take me as your teacher if you want, but are you willing to pay 2,000 yuan?”

Lan Yaxin waited a long time before the message finally arrived. She was overjoyed, but the moment she opened her private message and saw the fee, she was furious. Now that the family’s income was blocked by Lan Anran, that brat, how could she have 2,000 yuan to pay for a master? She frowned and asked, “Sorry, can it be cheaper?”

When Lan Yanran received the message, he smiled and his long and fair fingers typed on the keyboard.

“It’s alright if you don’t have money. Send me an ugly photo and I’ll accept you as my disciple.”

Lan Yanran smiled. This was interesting.

“Yanran, I’m going to the hospital with some herbal soup. Be good at home.”

Lan Anran didn’t notice what Lan Yanran was doing. She picked up the thermos and left after reminding him a few times.

“Mmh.”

After Lan Anran left, Lan Yanran continued to look at her computer.

Opposite her, Lan Yaxin was a little conflicted about this method of payment. She found that Sweet Smile was too childish, but her understanding of herbs was beyond her own.

She thought it would be alright to send an ugly photo of someone else, so she found one and sent it over.

Lan Yanran saw the flaw in the photo at a glance and was dissatisfied.

“Liar! Forget it if you don’t want to be my disciple.”

Lan Yanxin had no choice but to take one and send it over as she didn’t have any ugly photos.

Lan Yanran was shocked. Wasn’t this Lan Yaxin?

What a coincidence!

“Will that do? Will my photo be alright?”

Lan Yaxin was the school beauty and was very confident in her looks. She loved it when others praised her for her looks.

Lan Yanran had an idea and continued, “Mmh, you look good. You are my disciple, so you will receive a gift from me tomorrow.”

Lan Yaxin was both happy and puzzled. It was strange to receive a gift before they even met, but she didn’t say anything. She could only wait for the mysterious gift.

….

The next day, Lan Anran went to school as usual. No matter where she went, there would always be a pair of eyes staring at her, which made her uncomfortable.

The moment she entered the classroom, it was noisy and she had no idea what was happening.

Zhao Xiaolei waved her hand, signalling Lan Anran to come over.

“Anran, hurry over.”

Lan Anran walked to her seat unhurriedly.

“Anran, there’s a post about Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was well written and many people liked it. The author is famous and now, everyone in the class is worshipping this herb master. Sun Hui wants to become her disciple.”

Zhao Xiaolei showed the post to Lan Anran.

Lan Anran was a little surprised. Wasn’t this what she wrote yesterday?

She originally wanted to earn some extra money, but she had already withdrawn what she needed this morning. She didn’t expect it to become so popular.

“Oh,” Lan Anran replied casually.

“Lan Anran, just you wait. After I acknowledge her as my teacher, you will definitely lose to me!” Sun Hui shouted.

Lan Anran almost laughed out loud. She wanted to acknowledge her as a teacher and now, she wanted her teacher to leave? What kind of logic was that?

“Mmh, we’ll have to see if she accepts you or not…”

Lan Anran’s lips were redder than usual as she had applied some lip balm today, making her look even better. Her smile was even more charming and her big watery eyes were twinkling. In Sun Hui’s opinion, she was undoubtedly mocking her.

“You…”

Sun Hui was about to say something when her phone rang. She opened it and smiled.

There was a hideous photo of Lan Yaxin, posted by an anonymous thread. It also mentioned to Lan Yaxin that this was the gift for her.

This post was liked, forwarded, and commented on the forum.

Those who didn’t like Lan Yaxin ridiculed and liked the post. The entire school exploded with gossip.

After all, ugly photos of the school beauty were rare and many people used them as memes and keepsakes.

“Look at Lan Yaxin, she really knows how to play. This photo is beautiful. Look at your sister’s beautiful photos!”

Sun Hui felt that such a good thing wasn’t enough, as good things had to be shared. At least in Lan Yaxin’s matter, she and Lan Anran were on the same side.

Lan Anran glanced at her phone and almost burst into laughter.
