Gu Chengchi arrived just in time for dinner, and today his expression was markedly different from usual, showing a bit of excitement.
After everyone had set the table, Gu Chengchi, uncharacteristically, spoke before Mr. Gu, sharing the reason for his happiness.
"Dad! Doctor Li agreed to take me as his apprentice. Starting tomorrow, I'll officially begin learning medicine from him."
"What? Didn't Doctor Li initially refuse? Why did he agree now?" He asked curiously. Everyone had heard about Gu Chengchi's situation, after all, making multiple trips to Doctor Li's house would pique anyone's curiosity.
"Doctor Li said I'm earnest and persistent, which is why he accepted me!" Gu Chengchi said with a shy smile, scratching his head as he explained Doctor Li's reasoning.
"Xiao Bao! I won't be learning characters with you anymore! Doctor Li said he would teach me." Because of the moving plans, learning characters had been put on hold, to resume after they had settled in their new home.
