Today it is Liu Geyang's turn to go into the mountains to catch insects. After washing up in the morning, he put on his hat, gloves and insect net, and was ready to leave with his bag on his back.

As soon as he left the house, he saw nineteen people standing in front of the prefabricated building across the street. Among them was Professor Yamada Chiquan. Upon seeing him emerge, Professor Yamada quickly bowed. Behind him, eighteen researchers, all in uniform gray jumpsuits, also bowed in unison to Liu Geyang, their angles as precise as if drawn with a ruler. This irritated Liu Geyang:

Oh my god~~~~, saying goodbye to my buddy's body so early in the morning? This is so damn unlucky!

Liu Geyang secretly spat, raised his face and greeted Professor Yamada with a forced smile:

"Professor Yamada, why are you up so early?"

Professor Yamada smiled broadly and replied, "I knew Mr. Liu was going into the mountains to catch insects today, so I waited here!"

"Wait for me? What's going on?"

"Haha, of course I'm going into the mountains with Liu Jun!"

Liu Geyang exclaimed, "Ah!" He knew that Professor Yamada came to Wenzhou County to study the colorful-armed scarab beetle. In recent days, he often followed his fellow brothers into the mountains to look for scarab beetles.

When we were bored, we joked that this old Japanese man actually came to China to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers with public funds, otherwise why didn't he bring any insect catching tools, and he also asked along the way if there were any scenic spots and historical sites in the mountains!

Unexpectedly, it was Liu Geyang's turn to accompany the old man on a morning hike today. Although he was reluctant, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree:

"Okay, let's go now--!"

"Haiyi, Liu Jun, I'll be counting on you along the way!"

"Uh--, um!"

Liu Geyang felt like a villager leading the Japanese invaders, feeling awkward all over. He led the old man into the mountains and glanced behind him. The eighteen researchers also followed.

Liu Geyang was puzzled: In the past, when his fellow apprentices had taken the old man into the mountains, he'd only brought two Japanese companions with him. Why was he bringing such a large group today? However, they were free to take whoever they wanted, so Liu Geyang didn't ask any further questions and led the way.

At this moment, a contralto voice rang out from the laboratory behind him: "Liu Geyang! Wait for me, I'll go into the mountains with you!"

Liu Geyang turned around and replied impatiently:

"Niu Er, what are you doing? Aren't you on duty tomorrow? Director Wang won't let you leave your post, so hurry back!"

A strong girl, about the same height as Liu Geyang, came up from behind with a backpack on her back. She came to the opposite side of Liu Geyang and glanced at Professor Yamada and the eighteen researchers beside him. Finally, she met Liu Geyang's gaze, smiled shyly, and answered in a low voice:

"The weather forecast says it's going to rain tomorrow, so we can't go into the mountains. More people and more eyes, maybe we can find another colorful scarab beetle today!"

Liu Geyang couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree, and the group marched into the mountains in a mighty manner.

This girl, Niu Zaizhao, was from Shandong Province and the only female student in the Entomology Department from her freshman year to her second year of graduate school. Despite her stature, dark skin, and simple features, resembling a female Lu Zhixia, she remained the most beautiful girl in the department for two years, her position unchallenged and unwavering.

Niu Zaizhao's family has two sisters. His parents named the eldest daughter Zhaodi, but ended up with a black girl. They named the second daughter Zaizhao, but the village implemented family planning. If you have already given birth, you can give up, but if you have another one, you will be fined. So Zaizhao was directly upgraded to a trick.

The two sisters of the Niu family were smart and clever since childhood, and their grades were among the best in their grade. However, the Niu family was poor and could not afford to send two daughters to school at the same time. Therefore, Niu Zhaodi went to work in the south after graduating from junior high school and sent all the money she earned back home. This allowed Niu Zaizhao to study all the way to high school and get admitted to university.

Niu Zaizhao scored 622 points in the college entrance examination. She could have gone to a better university or chosen a better major, but she felt sorry for her sister's hard work and chose the unpopular Entomology Department of Xi'an University. She did so not for anything else but because the annual scholarship had a low threshold and a high amount, which could reduce the burden on her family.
