Chapter 24: Chapter 024 Nobility
Song Chen told the Gu couple everything in detail.
Mr. Gu was quite touched: "After all these years, he has always been very resistant and unwilling to cooperate with treatment. Now, he finally has the idea of making progress."
"I told you, that classmate Sheng Tang is his lucky star!" Mrs. Gu said softly, "She can bring good fortune to Ting! If it weren’t for her, that night, Ting might have successfully committed suicide..."
The night when Sheng Tang came into this world held extraordinary significance for Gu Shiting.
In a moment of illness, with a muddled mind, he took an extreme step and drove his car intending to end his life.
Sheng Tang rescued him from the water, supported him through the dark night, and brought him into the light.
"Being able to meet a benefactor is Ting’s good fortune!" Mr. Gu agreed, "I have also met classmate Sheng Tang, she is truly a fine young girl!"
Mrs. Gu nodded.
She was more than satisfied with Sheng Tang.
Born into a high-ranking family, she had always had extremely high standards and found fault with everyone, even finding bones in an egg. But with Sheng Tang, she had never spoken a bad word.
"I hope he can fully recover!" Mrs. Gu murmured.
At this moment, Doctor Sun arrived.
Upon hearing what Gu Shiting had done tonight, Doctor Sun was very pleased.
"This is an extremely good sign," Doctor Sun said, "I have told you long ago, if the young master’s heart doesn’t open up, if he insists on locking himself in a dark prison, no one can save him. Now, he has started to save himself, this is a very good signal!"
He was even more excited than the parents.
After ten years of companionship, Doctor Sun cared more about Gu Shiting than anyone or anything. It was he who never gave up hope over these years and always encouraged the Gu couple whenever they were disheartened.
Even the iron tree had finally bloomed under his care. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"It’s because of classmate Sheng Tang." Song Chen said from the side.
The last time Sheng Tang sent Gu Shiting back, the Gu family had told Doctor Sun all about her.
"This is a very good thing," Doctor Sun said, "Positive and active guidance. Let the young master have more contact with classmate Sheng Tang. The changes classmate Sheng Tang has brought to the young master are greater than what we have achieved with ten years of effort."
Meanwhile, Sheng Tang sneezed several times at the dinner table.
"Who is thinking about me?" she mumbled.
"Are you catching a cold?" her mother asked with concern.
"I don’t think so, it’s still very hot today," Sheng Tang said, "Maybe someone is cursing me."
Her family members at the dinner table laughed.
When the lights of thousands of homes were lit, there was only one office still lit in the office building of Huishi High School.
Five teachers sat around, still arguing.
"... ’Farewell to Cambridge,’ the poem has seven stanzas, each with four lines, its structure is neat; the rhyme is beautiful, the rhythm is brisk, the whole poem is sorrowful without being hurtful. Putting aside all the content, just talking about the expression of the poem, it is very sophisticated and exquisite, it’s a masterpiece! A student who can write such a good poem is not ordinary!"
"It’s not that good, the language throughout is too simple! It can take the third place!"
"First place, this poem must be first! If you show it to the writers’ association, those experts would also praise it. The language is simple but the imagery is profound, each metaphor in the poem is vivid and lively. Whether in form or content, it deserves first place!"
The five teachers were arguing back and forth.
Three teachers advocated for ’Farewell to Cambridge’ to take first place because its rhyme was harmonious, its rhythm strict, its cultural and artistic value very high; also because its language was light and its emotions sincere, the poem moved people’s hearts.
Two teachers only wanted to give it third place because the language was too simple and straightforward, and its sentiment a bit pretentious.
Cambridge University, far away in the United Kingdom, indeed Sheng Tang’s class had visited when they were in their first year, for only a week.
"Just a week, how much deep emotion could there be? The lyrical part is too contrived."
"A great university gives a strong sense of shock, and a short time together leaves a lasting impression, how is that contrived?"
