Chapter 1: Are you sick?

  "He who labors with his mind governs others; he who labors with his strength is governed by others. Those who are governed by others are fed by others, while those who govern others feed on the labor of others. This is the universal principle."

  Jiao Yuheng particularly likes the following sentences in Mencius: Teng Wen Gong I, and has always followed the idea of 'those who labor with their minds govern others'. As a result, as the Dean of Nanjing University's School of Psychology, Jiao Yuheng's daily work is not very busy.

  Leave all work-related matters to subordinates for handling, and just control the overall direction without making mistakes.

  He likes to spend more time on things he enjoys, such as applying psychological research and writing books about his research results.

  In the country of Huaxia, the application of psychology is still in its infancy. In daily life, many people have not yet accepted this subject. However, the number of people dying from mental illnesses is increasing year by year - the deepening research and promotion of psychology cannot be delayed. He is the leader in the field of psychology, so naturally he should take charge of this work.

  The door of the room was knocked on.

  "Come in." he shouted without lifting his head.

  Secretary Zhu Li of the Dean's office pushed open the door and came in, smiling: "Dean Jiao, a girl named Nan Xin has come to see you. She says she is your granddaughter."

  "Has Nan Xin arrived?" Jiao Yu Heng excitedly stood up from his chair. Then he smiled, sat back down and said: "It's been a while, she should be reporting for duty around now. Bring her in."

  "Okay." Julia replied.

  The door of the room was soon pushed open again.

  This time, it was not Secretary Zhu Li who appeared at the door, but a pretty girl with short hair, delicate features and wheat-colored skin.

  Her figure is very tall and slender, with a height of 1.72 meters. Due to her well-developed physique, her prominent buttocks and full breasts are particularly eye-catching.

  A pair of jeans that have been washed to a brilliant white, brown hiking boots, and on top a small white vest with a plaid shirt over it. The shirt is only buttoned at the bottom two buttons, giving off an instantly stylish and neat impression.

  She had a big bag on her back that was over one meter high, stuffed with things like those of travelers about to embark on a long journey.

  After she came in, those lively and wild eyes glanced around, then stared at Jiao Yuhe, who was sitting behind the office desk with a kind face, and said: "The old man's office is decorated quite well. You look good too, I can call your son and daughter-in-law to report back and let them rest assured."

  "Hey, kiddo." Jiao Yuheng couldn't hold back anymore. He got up from his swivel chair and ran over to take the big bag on his granddaughter's back, saying affectionately: "What's with this 'old man' business? This old man is your grandpa! Besides, aren't my son and daughter-in-law your dad and mom?"

  "Hey, old man, don't move, be careful not to strain your waist." Jiao Nanxin took a few steps forward, not letting Jiao Yuheng touch the large package behind her, but instead carried it herself to the sofa in the living room, where she finally put it down. "This package is heavy. I'm used to carrying it myself. You don't need to help."

  She took out a thermos from her big bag, poured the cooled tea on the tea table into her own thermos, and gulped it down. Only then did she explain: "I actually wanted to call them Dad and Mom, but they don't recognize me as their daughter. They said if I dare go out again this time, I won't be allowed to call them Dad and Mom anymore... So, I can only call you 'old man' and them 'your son and your daughter-in-law'."

  "Ah, you." Jiao Yuheng pulled his dusty and exhausted granddaughter onto the sofa and said with a pained expression: "Aren't they just joking with you? You say you're also... a girl from a good family, always carrying a backpack around - if you went to Huangshan or Zhangjiajie it would be okay, but instead you go to places like Yun Cang, Shennongjia, and the Dead Sea. Those places are so dangerous, you know that? They're just worried about you."

  "Hmm, what's good about Huangshan and Zhangjiajie? Am I going to see people or scenery?" Jiao Nan smiled with her eyes narrowed, revealing two cute dimples. "Grandpa, I know. I know you're all concerned about me. You're all doing it for my own good... but I just want to go out and take a walk. Think about it. I, Jiao Nan, have finally arrived in this world, so shouldn't I take a good look at these famous mountains, rivers, and local customs? Otherwise, wouldn't that be a waste of this life?"

  "Besides, I went with a group of people. It's not like I was alone, so there wouldn't be any danger. You know me well enough, who would dare to bully me? I'm already giving them face by not robbing or kidnapping anyone along the way."

  "You-" Jiao Yuhe was left speechless by his own darling granddaughter. He had brought out so many excellent students, but when it came to his own precious granddaughter, he was at a loss for what to do.

  Other students can impart knowledge to them by themselves and they are also willing to accept it.

  And this granddaughter of hers has too strong a sense of independence, with her own unique perspective on everything. It's hard to persuade her, and she also tries to persuade you.

  "Alright, alright." Jiao Nanxin grasped Jiao Yuheng's hand tightly and said with a pout: "Don't be angry, old man. If you get angry and fall ill, those people won't come over to tear me apart? Besides, this time I came over to report to you. From now on, I'll be your subordinate. You can scold or hit me as you like-----Grandpa, smile for once."

  Jiao Yu Heng couldn't help but burst out laughing. This granddaughter always knew how to make him happy.

  "Wow, Grandpa is also a handsome old man when he smiles!" Jiao Nan exclaimed exaggeratedly.

  "Stinky girl." Jiao Yuheng slapped a palm on Jiao Nanxin's head.

  It looks like it's going to be a lot of work, but after taking a shot, it actually becomes a touch.

  "Yesterday, your parents called me and asked if you had reported. I lied to them that you had already arrived, so they wouldn't worry again - who would be your parents, it's really necessary to have strong psychological endurance. I know you're a trustworthy person, since you were admitted to Nanjing University, you must come to report. Fortunately, you came today, otherwise, I would also be worried."

  "Of course. I'm Jiao Nanxin, the granddaughter of Jiao Yuheng. Once a word is spoken, it's like a daughter who has been married out - how can it be taken back?" Jiao Nanxin said with a pat on her own chest.

  "Alright, alright. Don't tease anymore. Nan Xin, I'll have someone take you to register soon. Get the formalities done. Then you can live with me. Your grandmother will be overjoyed if she finds out you're here."

  "No way." Jiao Nan shook her head in refusal. "I'll go through the formalities myself. If you arrange for someone to take me there, soon everyone will know I'm your granddaughter - isn't that going to make me lose touch with the masses? You should know, nowadays students don't have a good impression of leaders' kids. Although I haven't done anything bad like bullying boys or girls, everyone thinks I'm an 'official's second generation'. I'll go report myself."

  "Besides, I'm not planning to live with you guys either. If that happens, my grandmother will nag me to death. You know she wants me to be a gentle and elegant lady who can enter the grand hall with a smile... Ha ha, apart from having female physical characteristics, what else makes me like a woman? So, old man, for the sake of your wife and you being able to live together in happiness for hundreds of years, it's better if you don't put us two together."

  "You-" Jiao Yuheng wanted to refute a few more sentences. But after careful consideration, he felt that Nan Xin's words were indeed very reasonable.

  His wife came from a prestigious family and received the most traditional aristocratic education. So she also hopes that what she has learned can be perfectly passed on to her granddaughter. The problem is, this granddaughter is really not a clever girl. Letting her climb trees to catch birds or dive into water to slay dragons might be okay, but letting her learn aristocratic etiquette - they are really thinking too much.

  "Good. Then you'll be living in the dormitory." Jiao Yuheng said. "However, meals are to be eaten at home with your family."

  "Okay." Jiao Nan replied with a refreshed and pleased tone. "I still really like eating the braised pork made by the old lady."

  "That's good. From now on, I'll live closer to you, and your grandmother will cook for you every day." Jiao Yuheng said happily.

  The old man and his grandson were chatting happily when someone knocked on the door again.

  Zhu Li pushed the door open and said apologetically, "Director Jiao, I'm sorry to disturb you. A student named Tang Chong came looking for you - I told him you were busy. But he said it was an urgent matter that required your attention."

  "Tang Zhong?" Jiao Yu Heng suddenly remembered the student who spoke in an orderly manner but always avoided eye contact. "Let him come in."
