Chapter 29 is like a dream come true, bringing back memories of my mentor from back then.

Several students, who were Xie Yanning's master's students, looked at the scene as if they had seen a ghost.

When has Professor Xie ever been so amiable?

Sitting in the main office seat, how is that any different from sitting in the CEO's chair in a domineering CEO novel?

Although their place is a bit shabby, there are still one or two benches in front.

After settling Su Wanwan in, Xie Yanning's gaze swept over them, and the group immediately sat up straight.

They knew that the feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze was all an illusion.

Xie Yanning got into work mode very quickly. She picked up a research proposal and asked calmly, "Can you tell me why you chose this research direction?"

Qu Heng, who was mentioned, swallowed hard and said, "I think it has a very promising future."

I answered cautiously, afraid that it might prove the saying true: it wouldn't affect Professor Xie's status in academia, but it could ruin his reputation in the education field.

"It does indeed have a promising future." Xie Yanning's voice was devoid of emotion.

He leaned back on the single sofa, his long legs crossed, his posture relaxed yet exuding an invisible pressure: "This is simply unprecedented and will never be repeated. Have you thought about where to refer to it? I estimate the plagiarism rate will be less than 10%."

Innovation is a good thing, but innovation always needs to be based on something.

Even a pig could tell the difference between good and bad talk.

Qu Heng blushed slightly. "Professor Xie, I'll go back and revise it."

Xie Yanning offered him several suggestions.

Without exception, the other two students had one problem or another. Xie Yanning didn't say anything harsh throughout the whole process, which made everyone hold their breath.

Su Wanwan didn't think much of it at first; they were classmates and could be considered equals. But seeing Xie Yanning's dismissive attitude towards the students, she couldn't help but pick up her tea to hide her inexplicable nervousness.

Vocal, this is just like a dream come true for her mentor back then, and the head doctor making rounds.

Looking back now, the way Xie Yanning tutored her back then, with his gentle and persuasive approach, was all because she took advantage of Xie Yanning's youth at the time.

After putting down her tea, Su Wanwan didn't dare to look in that direction anymore, and instead looked around the small office.

In front of me was a bookshelf, filled with many large books.

I recognize all the individual characters in their names, but I have absolutely no idea what they mean when put together.

On the other side is the windowsill, next to which are two potted green plants growing haphazardly on a shelf.

This is the only thing that can bring a bit more warmth to this office.

The only cat that seemed relaxed was Yuanxiao. With its round eyes wide open, it was very curious, but even so, Yuanxiao seemed to sense something was amiss and remained very quiet.

Su Wanwan regretted coming up.

Scrolling through her phone in the office was a bit of a frivolous activity, but she was bored, so she had no choice but to actually pick up a book and start reading.

This book is at least easy to understand, and it talks about artificial intelligence, so it barely gets into Su Wanwan's mind.

It was a late afternoon, the sunlight outside was blinding, and the voices around her were neither loud nor soft and were hard to understand. Su Wanwan had worked last night, so she propped her head up with one hand, felt her eyelids were getting heavy, and slowly they drooped.

To avoid any appearance of impropriety, Xie Yanning always preferred to have several students come together rather than provide one-on-one instruction.

After he finished resolving the students' problems, he turned around and saw Su Wanwan already soundly asleep.

Fortunately, Su Wanwan sleeps very quietly, otherwise it would have been a real disaster.

The students only dared to steal a glance, picked up their belongings, whispered goodbye to Xie Yanning, and left.

I only dared to gossip after I breathed a sigh of relief when I left.

"Who is that woman? Why is she sitting in that spot? Would an ordinary student do that?"

"Didn't you see that the professor's expression was different when he looked at her? In my limited understanding, there must be something between them."

"You don't even need to tell me that, even a fool could see it."

"I never expected this. Professor Xie usually seems so detached from worldly desires. I was worried that one day he would see through the illusions of the world and just find a temple to become a monk."

"To be honest, I used to have the same concern. I even wondered if my advisor would become a monk before I graduated."

"..."

This is not without precedent.

The end of science is theology. There was once a physics genius who became a monk and is said to have later become an abbot.

In the office, Xie Yanning closed the windows and doors, took off his trench coat and gently covered her with it.

Then he took out his laptop and quietly began working.

Seeing Xie Yanning sit down, Yuanxiao shifted its plump body and snuggled up to him in a fawning manner, looking at his computer screen as if it understood everything, while its tail gently brushed against Xie Yanning's arm.

Xie Yanning glanced at Su Wanwan, who was still sleeping peacefully opposite him, stroked Yuanxiao's head, and said in a very low voice, "If only your owner were as well-behaved as you."

This is how the person and the cat work.

The sun quickly began to set in the west.

Xie Yanning glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer screen; it was almost five o'clock, and Su Wanwan hadn't changed her posture much.

Su Wanwan's phone rang.

Xie Yanning stood up to check on her, but Su Wanwan woke up just then.

I just woke up and was still a little dazed, not knowing what day it was.

Xie Yanning happened to be standing quite close, casting a large shadow. Su Wanwan stood up reflexively, but she stood up so suddenly that the clothes she was wearing slipped off and were caught by Xie Yanning.

"I won't do anything to you," Xie Yanning added in her mind, at least not now.

Su Wanwan was a little embarrassed and explained, "I'm just not used to it."

Xie Yanning nodded, saying it was a good thing that she wasn't used to it.

"I've been a bit tired lately."

"Yes, I can tell."

With her coat draped over Xie Yanning's arm, Su Wanwan noticed that he was only wearing a very thin sweater.

The sweater was somewhat fitted, revealing Xie Yanning's broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Su Wanwan silently apologized, while Zhang Yunqing ate quite well.

"Put these on quickly, lest you catch a cold."

Xie Yanning put her trench coat back on.

Su Wanwan's phone was still ringing persistently, and Xie Yanning gently raised his chin to remind her.

Su Wanwan picked up her phone.

Unknown phone numbers are automatically marked as high-frequency spam calls.

Su Wanwan frowned slightly and hung up immediately.

Xie Yanning: "??"

"Harassing calls." Su Wanwan sighed helplessly; harassing calls were really annoying.

"Do you need me to set it up for you?"

This time it was Su Wanwan's turn: "??"

"It's very simple. Just set up a small program inside, and you can block calls that are marked as harassment or advertising."

Su Wanwan had no doubts whatsoever. "Please." The person on the other end was a computer genius.

Xie Yanning took the phone and asked, "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might put something in there to eavesdrop or track your location?"

"...What are you eavesdropping on? Are you eavesdropping on my conversation with the cat?" Su Wanwan asked. Her interpersonal relationships couldn't be simpler. "Or are you eavesdropping on my fear of being dominated by the hospital phone ringing every day?" The hospital calls her the most.

Su Wanwan never imagined that one day she would be so afraid of her phone ringing.
