CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 497: RESET (PART 2)

"Mr. Li, classmates, I don’t need ten days or a week, I only need ten minutes."

Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly replied, able to remain composed in the face of any ridicule.

The others laughed even harder, clutching their stomachs.

Zhang Xun looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, shaking his head, such a girl could actually earn the admiration of so many luminaries.

Apparently, she really is just an embroidered pillow.

He had even regarded her more highly, truly an insult to his intelligence.

Li Xueming was so angry that he found it amusing.

She really dares to say such things.

Even as the anatomy instructor, he wouldn’t boast this way; her open mouth seemed to expect a miracle.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Whether you believe it or not, please give me ten minutes, ten minutes can’t change anything or waste anyone’s time. If I can’t do it, I’m willing to accept Mr. Li’s punishment.

If I can do it, I just hope everyone stops treating anyone with this attitude.

Listening to gossip isn’t something a medical student should do. You’re not gossiping street women; you’re pragmatic medical students, future doctors. Viewing anyone without preconceived notions is what we should strive for."

Others said nothing, whether Jiang Xiaoxiao could do it or not, everyone was stunned at that moment.

Her words were powerful, more so representing the attitude a doctor should have.

No patient should be treated differently by them.

This is medical ethics.

Li Xueming nodded; regardless of how Jiang Xiaoxiao rubbed him the wrong way, her words were enough to impress. It appeared her elders had at least taught well, slightly diminishing his anger.

"What Jiang Xiaoxiao said is right. Your previous attitude is indeed worth considering. No matter what kind of person Jiang Xiaoxiao is, or whether she can accomplish this task, you shouldn’t act like gossiping street women, just talking.

Spreading rumors should rather be approached with a scientific and objective attitude when dealing with Jiang Xiaoxiao and the current situation."

"Mr. Li, please let everyone step back a bit, give me space, so it’s convenient for me to act. If a classmate has a watch, please start timing."

Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke gracefully and calmly, easily making people feel good about her.

The bright eyes, confident radiance, and undeniable presence exuded a unique charm.

It’s not something appearance can grant; it’s a natural aura coming from innate confidence.

Li Xueming clapped his hands, respecting a student was instinctual for him.

Regardless of whether he liked the student or not, respect for the student’s individuality is something the best teachers cannot ignore.

"Alright, everyone step back a bit and give Jiang Xiaoxiao space. Be careful of the specimens underfoot; don’t damage them."

Feng Na looked at her wristwatch; although the strap was wrapped with white tape and her watch was old and broken, this moment revealed her as Jiang Xiaoxiao’s sole supporter on a day when others were clearly watching for amusement.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, I can help you time."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded gently; Feng Na was indeed a different person.

Older than the other girls in the dormitory, she usually took care of her dorm mates, never quarreling with anyone.

It would be understandable if she were someone sociable and eloquent, but Feng Na truly wasn’t like that.

Her interaction with others was simply through daily care, empathy, and attentiveness; she disliked arguments and was not sharp-edged, rather she was accommodating and tolerant, like a familiar older sister next door.

Feng Na didn’t frequently fawn over her; she cared for Jiang Xiaoxiao and others equally, not showing any special attention due to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s status or their relationship.

To avoid suspicion of currying favor, Feng Na often deliberately kept distance from Jiang Xiaoxiao.

This actually demonstrated Feng Na as a person with self-respect and a strong sense of self-esteem.

But regardless, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that Feng Na standing up at this moment truly tested her rational and calm nature.

Such a Feng Na was rare.

Every time a major issue arose, Feng Na always seemed willing to stand with the minority.

It’s unclear if this was an inborn keen choice or cultivated insight through experience.

Some say truth often stands with the minority; it seems Feng Na was good at choosing her side.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was still very grateful to Feng Na.

Clearly, the students attending class today were not well-intentioned towards her; from their words, Jiang Xiaoxiao understood that she had provoked significant reaction at school.

Having a strong background doesn’t mean everyone will yield; some students may court and flatter but others might find it very distasteful.

The proud and self-reliant might feel Jiang Xiaoxiao tainted the school’s nobility.

And those truly well-connected considered Jiang Xiaoxiao an enemy; she knew she’d cause a reaction at school, but didn’t anticipate such a massive response.

Judging from the hostility of unfamiliar classmates in the classroom, she realized the extent to which she stirred public outrage.

Jiang Xiaoxiao understood it was due to her showcasing a powerful background on her first day.

Under such circumstances, it was a one-sided affair that led to a student being expelled due to her presence.

If there was no gossip, it would be odd; for many, she’s seen as an oppressor.

She planned to rely on her capability to improve everyone’s impression of her, at least reducing hostility; she came to learn, not to make enemies.

Of course, she wasn’t afraid of making enemies.

She had the competence, whether others did was up to their perspective.

Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke no further.

Nodding towards Feng Na.

"If other classmates have watches, you can time together, lest there be suspicion of Feng Na favoring me and manipulating the timing."

She preferred to be proactive.

And her words prompted several students to raise their watches.

Ten minutes!

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s seamless movements left everyone watching stunned.

Initially, everyone observed with intentions of seeing a spectacle.

But when Jiang Xiaoxiao began, they realized how fast she was, grabbing each bone without even thinking, placing them in position within seconds.

Clearly, she was very familiar with the placement of these bones; from feet to head, she assembled and arranged them with almost no error.

Within a few minutes, the skeletal specimen was restored before everyone’s eyes.

Li Xueming grew more delighted as he watched.

This student’s technique was skilled, and it could be seen she was familiar with the position of these bones.

This wasn’t something accomplished simply through theory; unfamiliar with medicinal knowledge wouldn’t distinguish the left from right humerus bones, often misplacing them.

Yet Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitated not even a bit.
