Chapter 308 Miss, Please Stay

Li Mingyue looked at the car lights going away. She managed to keep a calm face, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

She hadn't expected Lawrence to be so kind.

She could only imagine what the children of wealthy families were like, but no matter what, they shouldn't be so approachable, right?

If Lawrence is really a Rockefeller, has no discrimination against Chinese people, and is so easy-going, can she go one step further?

Lu Youyou took in the expressions of the two people. Yu Qingtian was still as carefree as ever, but as for Li Mingyue...

I don’t know what this girl learned at Stanford. After all, everyone has their own path, and what kind of life Li Mingyue chooses has nothing to do with her.

After Lu Youyou went upstairs, Li Mingyue became even more silent.

Yu Qingtian was not really stupid, and he could see that something was wrong with Li Mingyue. However, with the "poor" imagination of ordinary people, it was impossible for them to imagine that Li Mingyue had such lofty ambitions.

How can we get further contact?

Li Mingyue thought for a long time, so long that Yu Qingtian had finished writing a short essay, but she had only turned a few pages of the book in her hand.

Lawrence said see you tomorrow, does that mean he will come to pick up Lu Youyou tomorrow?

Is it morning or afternoon? Do I have to skip class to guard it?

Li Mingyue didn't dare to skip classes after all. Her future was uncertain, and studying hard was her last resort.

The next day, she stayed in the classroom restlessly for the whole morning, and rushed to the dormitory immediately after class.

I can only try my luck at noon and in the evening. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. Li Mingyue also knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed.

She didn't even have time to eat, and halfway through her walk she was afraid of missing it, so she just started running.

Arriving breathlessly near the dormitory building, she found a bench where she could see the way clearly and began to sort out her clothes.

After waiting for an hour, no one showed up. Li Mingyue was so hungry that she was reluctant to leave.

She glanced at the clock on the tower not far away. The class would start in half an hour, so she could stay for a quarter of an hour at most.

Li Mingyue counted the time as it passed, and finally when she was about to leave, the car she had seen last night slowly drove over.

She cleared her throat nervously, checked the cuffs of her collar again, thought for a moment, then took out a book from her bag and held it in her hands.

The car stopped and Li Mingyue pretended to pass by casually.

"Hi!" Li Mingyue covered up her nervousness with a surprised smile, "What a coincidence, are you here to see classmate Lu Youyou?"

Lawrence turned around and saw a tight smiling face.

"Yes, I'm here to find Lu."

Li Mingyue's throat tightened, and she always felt that Lawrence now was different from what she saw last night.

No matter how passionate Lawrence was about academics, his background determined his vision, and in his eyes, Li Mingyue was like a blank sheet of paper.

Even though he couldn't see it clearly yesterday, he could sense her vague thoughts when they met again today.

One person was sitting in the car, and one was standing outside. Before coming, Li Mingyue fantasized that with Lawrence's kindness, no matter what she said, at least her words would not fall on the ground.

But now, the smile on Lawrence's lips has not diminished at all, but Li Mingyue can no longer see the approachable person he was last night.

The person in front of him seemed to be stunned, but Lawrence was not going to say anything more to her.

"Excuse me, I need to open the car door."

"Ah? Oh oh..." Li Mingyue's face turned red and she took a step back as if she had been electrocuted.

Seeing Lawrence was about to leave, she summoned the courage to call him, "Mr. Rockefeller..."

Lawrence turned around with a perfect smile on his face: "Sorry, excuse me."

Li Mingyue subconsciously followed and took two steps. After a few seconds, a tall and strong man blocked her way.

"Miss, please stay."

Li Mingyue was startled, and when she looked up she saw a face mostly covered by sunglasses, and sleeves bulging with muscles.

Ever since the last time he fell ill and needed emergency treatment in New York, Lawrence has been followed wherever he goes. Bodyguards and assistants generally don't show up unless there is an emergency.

Li Mingyue was certainly not a threat, but stopping people the employer didn’t want to see was also part of an assistant’s job.

Li Mingyue was stunned. She never thought things would turn out like this.

Is this... a bodyguard?

She had never seen a private bodyguard in all her time in the United States, and she didn't know how to react.

Fear, confusion, shame... so many emotions intertwined, making her face turn red and white.

Lawrence did not walk far. He stood at a place where she could see him as soon as she came out of the dormitory door. There were only ten meters between her and him, but it seemed like there was a galaxy between them.

The cold reality made her extremely embarrassed. Li Mingyue couldn't say a word and turned away.

Lawrence's voice came from behind, talking to Lu Youyou, and his tone seemed to have returned to the gentleness of last night.

It was like a basin of ice water poured over her head. Li Mingyue finally realized that if it weren't for Lu Youyou, she wouldn't even have the chance to talk to Lawrence.

Lu Youyou saw Li Mingyue as soon as she went downstairs. She didn't mention it, and Lawrence naturally wouldn't mention it either.

Even if he was not involved in the family business, he was just one of the many heirs. Lawrence had seen many such "interested people" since he was a child. Li Mingyue's superficial thoughts were not even an episode to him.

On the other side, Li Mingyue rushed to the teaching building with her head down, and her heart could not calm down until the class started.

The humiliating setback did not extinguish the fire in her heart. Why should she be the one who was stopped? Since this path was blocked, she had to stand out even more!

*

The delegation's trip ended successfully and Gu Qingye returned to China with the team.

In addition to the Water Moon Guanyin statue donated by Lu Youyou, Gu Qingye also brought back two quite heavy suitcases.

This is the "interim result" that Lu Youyou asked him to bring back. It contains not only what the 507th Division wants, but also the information needed by Tsinghua University.

Leaving aside the academic material, the diving suit project alone is a big surprise.

The diving suit developed by Lu Youyou before was a light equipment, suitable for depths of about 40 meters. The 2.0 version brought back by Gu Qingye this time is heavy-duty and can operate at depths above 60 meters.

Not only that, Lu Youyou also drew blueprints of underwater thrusters, including some other individual combat equipment suitable for the sea.

Some of them were copied by her using the Sharingan, and some were moved from the study in the villa under the pretext of being abroad. After summarizing and summarizing them in combination with the existing level of productivity, she had this thirty-centimeter-thick document.

The 507th Institute was overjoyed. The General Staff was their superior administrative unit, and Gu Bohuai naturally knew about Lu Youyou's outstanding contributions.

When Gu Qingye was called by Gu Bohuai, he thought there was something wrong with the information.

"Report."

"Qingye, come in and sit down."

Gu Qingye walked in and sat down with his back straight, as if the person sitting opposite him was only the leader of the team.

Gu Bohuai said helplessly: "It's already off work now, it's okay for you to relax a little, and it's not official business that I asked you to come here today."
