Chapter 257: 256. Then you guessed wrong.

"How old are you now, still telling embarrassing stories of my past to the younger generation?"

Even using such unrefined phrases like ’butt sticking out’; how could he maintain any dignity after that?

His partner was getting less and less concerned about her impact when speaking.

Old Professor Yu was very dissatisfied, glaring at her with those eyes that, to outsiders, seemed imposing.

However, having lived with him for fifty or sixty years, Old Madam Yu had become quite immune to that gaze.

"What else should we talk about if not these stories? You’re too concerned with face, and your serious demeanor probably scared away many students. Telling these funny stories is the only way to make them less afraid of you."

"Hey! Should I be thanking you for that? Your logic is twisted!"

"Then tell me, where is my logic twisted?"

"Even without all this, Xiao Shu wouldn’t be scared of me anyway."

"Oh? That’s true."

Old Madam Yu paused, turned her head towards Tang Shu, and looked on proudly.

"My students indeed have extraordinary endurance, such steady temperaments."

Professor Yu, in a not-so-formal teacher-student relationship: "...."

"That’s not right, you’re actually proud of this? Look at how high you’re holding your chin, you’re practically looking down on people through your nostrils."

At this point, Old Madam Yu was utterly giving him a look of disdain.

Professor Yu, huffing and puffing, fell into a sullen silence for a moment, feeling that it was impossible to explain himself and could only snort in disdain.

"Hmph!"

Tang Shu suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, lowered her head, and shrank on the sofa, trying hard to minimize her presence.

The longer they spent together, the more she understood the daily dynamics of this loving couple.

And to be honest, it was quite amusing.

Life went on amidst their playful bickering, far from boring and even quite interesting.

Perhaps that was the reason they had been able to get along so well for fifty or sixty years?

"Xiao Shu, come to the study, take a look at the progress of the research these last few days."

"Okay."

Tang Shu stood up and followed Professor Yu into the study.

"Snow Soul Grass was a major discovery in the medical field last year. It’s been nearly a decade since any herb had been discovered that could be used in medicine, so the Medical College is taking this research project very seriously."

Professor Yu sat in his chair and handed her some of the initial research materials.

Tang Shu took them and read quickly, realizing that the progress of the project was faster than she had imagined.

"Have all the components of the Snow Soul Grass toxin been analyzed already?"

Before the New Year, the project had just finished assembling its team, and the formal research didn’t start until the fifth day of the New Year. But today is the ninth...

In just four days, they had analyzed all the components clearly—is this the true power of modern medicine?

Tang Shu couldn’t help being astonished by the speed.

"Science really is a miraculous thing."

In Damo, even with decades or even hundreds of years, it would be impossible to analyze the components of the toxin. At best, they would repeatedly use Snow Soul Grass in trials to ensure some of its medicinal properties.

Professor Yu laughed heartily, obviously in a very good mood.

"Yes, I didn’t expect it to be so quick either; I thought it’d be good if they could master it by the Lantern Festival."

In the published paper on the medicinal properties of Snow Soul Grass, the component analysis was just approximate. If one really wanted to use it in medicine, a systematic analysis of the interactions between the components was necessary.

This was the real reason the project was initiated.

Tang Shu also smiled, "It looks like the assistants you picked are quite capable."

"You would be wrong about that."
