Chapter 105: Chapter 104 Free Team Formation

“Medical competition?” Chi Gui looked up.

Su Niannian nodded, worried Chi Gui might not understand, she explained in detail, “It’s the ‘Star Shining Cup,’ the largest annual domestic medical student competition. The top three winners are directly recruited by the Capital City Three-A Hospital. The prestige of this competition is incredibly high!”

Because of this, the competition was fiercely competitive every year.

“Is that so…” facing Su Niannian’s sparkling eyes, Chi Gui thought for a moment and then added, “The prestige is really high indeed!”

Su Niannian narrowed her eyes slightly, “…Sister Chi, why do I feel like you’re brushing me off?”

While they were talking, Liu Yawei entered.

As soon as he came in, the classroom instantly quieted down, and all the students eagerly watched him.

Liu Yawei coughed and said, “Seeing everyone so eager, I’ll skip the small talk. We are going to form teams now. You can choose your own teams, four members per team, and then we will put the regular curriculum on hold and focus on preparing for the ‘Star Shining Cup’ medical competition happening in one month!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the students cheered and began forming groups of three or four.

Needless to say, Chi Yan, Su Qing, and Kong Wen were definitely a team. Every student in the class now gathered around them, racking their brains to get the last spot in their group.

It was no wonder, with two academic prodigies like Chi Yan and Su Qing anchoring the group, the chances of winning were as high as 90%, not to mention that Chi Yan had been taken under wing by Professor Li Weiyi early on.

That’s someone who could speak with Academician Zhou and who was most likely to enter the National Medical Research Institute High-level Expert Group this year!

To receive even a few pointers from Professor Li could give someone a huge head start over others.

In contrast, not a single person came to inquire about joining Chi Gui and Su Niannian.

Even when Su Niannian took the initiative to invite classmates with whom she usually had a decent relationship, she was politely declined.

It was not surprising that others were reluctant.

Su Niannian’s exam performance was almost always at the bottom, while Chi Gui had been expelled from school before; never tested, she either slept or played on her phone during class—a sure sign of poor grades.

Even if she was skilled in dissection, it would not add points in the competition.

For such an important competition, no one wanted to team up with two laggards.

Out of one hundred students in the class, after everyone had formed groups, only Chi Gui and Su Niannian were left, along with two other girls.

Seeing this, Liu Yawei directly said, “Ding Xuan, Ning Qiu, you two join Chi Gui’s team!”

Chi Gui, lazily resting her hand on her forehead, didn’t seem to mind.

The two girls, on the other hand, were unwilling.

Ding Xuan, because she became extremely nervous during exams, had already been rejected by several groups and was already upset. Now thinking about joining Chi Gui’s team, she burst out crying in despair.

“Mr. Liu, our grades are already not good, and joining Chi Gui’s team—what’s the point in competing? We might as well forfeit and save our time!”

With that statement, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

However, the other students could understand, as joining Chi Gui’s team meant an early exit from the competition, which was enough to break anyone’s spirit.

Liu Yawei had a headache and was still pondering what to do when another girl from a different group raised her hand, “Mr. Liu, I’ll go to Chi Gui’s team!”

As she spoke, another girl from the same team raised her hand, “Then I’ll go too.”

Liu Yawei took a deep look at Ding Xuan and Ning Qiu, “Are you two sure you don’t want to go?”

Neither spoke, their silence serving as agreement.

Liu Yawei didn’t say anything further, “Then Yi Rui, Chu Jia, you two go with Chi Gui.”

Yi Rui and Chu Jia nodded.

Ding Xuan and Ning Qiu looked at them apologetically but both felt relieved inside.

After Liu Yawei took note of the twenty-five teams, he laid out the rules briefly, “Alright, all teams go and prepare! I wish you all the best!”
