"I'm glad you understand my intentions; I hope you can draft a speech when we get back, and then it's time for us to shine!"

Zhao Xuefeng looked at Lin Tian with increasing satisfaction and finally sighed, "If you didn't have such an outstanding girlfriend like Qingcheng, I'd want to make you my grandson-in-law!"

"Huh?"

Lin Tian was taken aback and opened his mouth wide. Didn't you switch topics a bit too fast?

Seeing Lin Tian's surprised expression, Zhao Xuefeng said with some pride, "What's there to be surprised about? You're qualified to be my grandson-in-law. Thinking about it, I feel you two would make quite the pair."

Lin Tian chuckled helplessly, "Teacher, stop teasing me. Aren't you pairing us up randomly?"

"What do you mean randomly pairing up! You're handsome, and my granddaughter isn't any worse than Qingcheng. If you didn't have Qingcheng, I'd really want to match you two up. But having said that, I still have high hopes for you and Qingcheng. That girl is diligent and eager to learn; she understands things quickly. When you two are together, don't just focus on dating; take some time to teach her some ancient medical knowledge."

"Also, if I find out that you've bullied her, I won't let you off!" Zhao Xuefeng boasted, causing Lin Tian to smile wryly.

Liou Qingcheng is such an exceptional girl. She's smart, beautiful, and hardworking. Everyone has high praise for her.

Then, the conversation shifted back to ancient medicine.

Before they knew it, it was time to eat. Zhao Xuefeng checked the time and invited Lin Tian to his house for a meal.

Lin Tian thought for a moment and realized he didn't have anything special planned, so he agreed to go.

So, the two of them, one old and one young, packed up their things and headed to Zhao Xuefeng's house.

Zhao Xuefeng's house was inside the school, a house assigned by the school, situated between the teaching building and the cafeteria.

Of course, along the way, Lin Tian stopped by a store to buy some gifts. After all, being invited to someone's house for the first time, he felt it was impolite to arrive empty-handed. Although Zhao Xuefeng said it wasn't necessary, Lin Tian insisted.

Carrying bags and boxes, when they reached Zhao Xuefeng's door, Lin Tian's sharp nose caught a delightful aroma.

"Hairy crabs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tofu with scallions, and... lean meat mushroom soup. Teacher, Mrs. Zhao sure is a good cook."

Lin Tian sniffed the air a couple more times, prompting Zhao Xuefeng to laugh heartily and jokingly scold, "Are you a dog? How is your nose so sharp?"

"Heh heh, when there's delicious food, my nose becomes sharp too," Lin Tian chuckled and followed Zhao Xuefeng inside.

Changing into a pair of slippers at the entrance, Lin Tian walked into the living room, greeted by the refreshing cool air of the air conditioner, which was quite invigorating.

"Why did you set the air conditioner so low again? I've told you many times, tranquility brings its own coolness! Too much air conditioning isn't good for your health!" Zhao Xuefeng shouted towards the kitchen.

Lin Tian glanced over and saw that the kitchen in Zhao Xuefeng's house was separated by a glass door to prevent the cooking smoke from filling the house.

In the kitchen was a woman who looked to be in her sixties. She had her back to Lin Tian, who could only see her slightly plump figure and silver-grey hair, without seeing her face.

Without turning her head, Xu Wan replied, "You're such a nag, old man! It was Qingtang who turned it on, don't blame me."

Xu Wan's voice was loud, echoing throughout the room, "Qingtang, come out, your grandpa is back."

"Coming, coming."

A girl's voice came from an open room; her voice was pleasant, soft, and very likable.

Lin Tian glanced over, and soon a girl emerged from the room. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and her hair looked like it had been 'roughed up,' to the point where 'messy' was an understatement.

She wore a Doraemon pajama set that reached her knees, revealing her fair and shapely legs. As for whether she was wearing anything underneath... Lin Tian didn't dare to use x-ray vision to check.

"Qingtang... why did you come out without tidying yourself up?" Zhao Xuefeng said with slight displeasure.

Only then did Zhao Qingtang realize there was a guest today! He was sitting on the sofa, looking at her!

How could she meet someone like this? Why didn't Grandpa give a heads-up!

Noticing Lin Tian's odd expression, Zhao Qingtang huffed loudly, then closed the room door, presumably to 'change her look.' She planned to come out later and shock Lin Tian, completely changing the impression she had just made.

This wasn't because Zhao Qingtang had fallen for Lin Tian's looks at first sight. It's just that girls are very mindful of their image in front of others; even if I dislike you, I want to dislike you beautifully!

Lin Tian recalled what Zhao Xuefeng had said earlier, almost praising his granddaughter to the skies, but meeting her felt vastly different from his description.

Lin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, "Teacher, your granddaughter is really pretty."

Zhao Xuefeng was a bit embarrassed; Zhao Qingtang's previous appearance was really not impressive. How can a young girl have hair that messy like a bird's nest?

"She's not usually like this; she's just a bit relaxed at home... you know?" Zhao Xuefeng asked.

"I understand, I understand." Lin Tian nodded fervently like a pecking chick; he still had to give face to his teacher. As for that scene earlier, he'd pretend he didn't see it.

Zhao Xuefeng snorted softly; he could tell Lin Tian was trying to flatter him. He thought viciously, just wait until my granddaughter comes out and dazzles you!

By this time, Xu Wan had brought out the last dish, sweet and sour fish, and placed it on the square dining table.

"Hello, Mrs. Zhao," Lin Tian greeted loudly and walked over carrying two large gift bags.

Only then did Xu Wan notice Lin Tian, quickly exclaiming in delight after a glance, "Old man, the student you brought back this time is quite a handsome young man. Not bad, not bad, better looking than the others you've brought back."

"Oh, even brought gifts, how courteous! Let me see what they are. Hmm, donkey-hide gelatin, bird's nest, and red dates. Not bad, all supplements for women's beauty, this little apprentice is really thoughtful. Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet."

Xu Wan looked at Lin Tian with a bright smile, her gaze much softer than Zhao Xuefeng's.

This was a master's wife who loved to smile.

She had a trendy perm favored by middle-aged women, dyed a light yellow. Although she was in her sixties, she looked quite youthful, with hardly any wrinkles on her face. Her outfit under the apron was also stylish.

Truly a fashionably elegant lady at her age.
