14 Live Like a Spinning Top
Hearing the discussion of the surrounding students, Lorraine realized that this year's opening ceremony surprisingly invited the Commander of the Federation to give a welcome speech to the freshmen.
"How come the Commander participates in our school opening ceremony? I heard that the Military Academy next door invited him to attend the graduation ceremony last year, but his secretary rejected."
"Don't you see who our honorary chancellor is? The whole Federation knows that Chancellor Chu has a special relationship with the commander."
"The commander is married? It seems to be a princess."
"Princess of Al Empire. The Al Empire was defeated by the commander so they send her to please the commander."
"The commander is so cold and his sexual desire is severely reduced. I prefer more of the profound refine scholar like Chancellor Chu."
"The commander doesn't seem to have sex life. I don't know where has the poor princess growth mold."
...
Amidst the laughter, Lorraine looked up at sternly cold Chen Sha in his stiff military uniform on the stage. The blood vessel appeared on his forehead. As expected of the next best doctor of the Federation in the future, discussion topics were all hit to the point!
Chen Sha finished his short speech. Everyone thought it was over so they clapped and applauded. Unexpectedly, he stood on the stage, not moving, and stared down coldly.
The applause was quickly frozen.
Not only the students down the stage, also the school leaders on the stage, with their hand in the air, all puzzled looked at Chen Sha.
"This is a school, not an afternoon tea party of young ladies! If you came for fun, I suggested you to drop out as soon as possible and don't waste federal taxpayers' money!"
Everyone looked at each other. That...isn't all the opening ceremony supposed to be something of gentle blessing? Since when that the fashion had changed to an intimidate threat?
Lorraine stood straight, looking at Chen emotionless.
She knew that many people would be disappointed because she cannot behave as an apple tree. However, it's her life, only her that lived herself! Whatever she said now will not be able to convince people, but time will prove everything.

Lorraine divided her time into three parts: medical school, research institute, and training hall.
In the medical school, there are professors of various specialties who were willing to answer questions. You only need to turn yourself into a sponge and diligently absorbed knowledge.
Although her work at the research institute was still quite bumpy, she gradually got used to it. When there was a problem, Feng Lin and Anna could help and she could get through it.
Relatively speaking, the problems she encountered when training her strength in the training hall were more prominent.
Qing Chu was not a qualified teacher. She had never taught students before and did not know how to teach. Moreover, she had more or less concern about the princess status and could not fully put on.
For an artisan to do a good job, they must first sharpen their tools. Lorraine wondered whether she should spend money to hire a professional strength trainer or not. However, her strength goal was level A, how could an A level strongman would take a job of a trainer?
When she told Qian Xu about her troubles, Qian Xu helped her solve problem in one sentence.
"I will be your strength training teacher."
"Is it really possible? Will it take up your time too much?" Lorraine was surprised and uneasy.
"I have trained new recruits in the military, considered having some experience. Training you alone is easy. Moreover, the key to this kind of thing is the students themselves. The teacher only coach and wouldn't take up much time for the teacher."
Lorraine thought for a while. Qian Xu worked at the base and lived in the base's staff dormitory. She also came to the base every day. It was very convenient for two people to meet each other. This was indeed reasonable.
"Then I will not be holding back, and don't you holding back when you train me."
Qian Xu smiled and said, "Sure."
With the lessons learned from Qing Chu, Lorraine worried that Qian Xu would not be strict enough. But after their first training, she immediately took back all her worries.
Qian Xu was a professional soldier after all, no matter how gentle on the outside, the inside was made of steel.
When he was standing on the training ground, even without a word, she felt pressure and not the slightest kindness. He would definitely push Lorraine to work the most standard movements and squeeze her last bit of strength.
Lorraine's body is very weak, but her heart is not fragile. No matter what Qian Xu asked her to do, even if it looked very harsh, she still did her best.
Teacher and student were very satisfied with each other.
Every day, Lorraine got up at 5:30 in the early morning. First she went to the gravity room for a run, and after running for an hour, she would exercise with equipment for another hour. Then took a shower, changed clothes, and rushed to the institute to go to work.
On weekdays, she would use the working gap time to watch the professor's online lectures through star network remote teaching. After got off work in the afternoon, she would go to the training hall to exercise and complete Qian Xu's task assignment first, then hurried go back home to read books, studied, and complete the assignments assigned by professors.
On weekends, she didn't have to go to the institute for work. She would go to the medical school for classes. When there's no class, she either spend her free time in the training hall or study in the medical school's library.
Every day was very busy like a spinning top. Time to stop and rest was none, but Lorraine was very happy.
Because she lost her memory, she always felt like she's duckweed, missing root of security on earth. Every busy day made her felt like each passing day was meaningful and made she felt at ease.
She firmly believed that as long as she kept going on substantially day after day, even duckweed would grow roots and became a big tree.
