Hsieh Che-cheng has always been a man of action, meticulous and rigorous in his work, and never does anything in vain.

Knowing that Yu Jiuyuan was going to take the postgraduate entrance exam, he didn't waste any time on small talk and directly expressed his support in the most practical way.

"Thank you." Yu Jiuyuan's tone remained calm, but a subtle warmth flickered in her eyes.

Xie Zhecheng's kindness has always been silent and steadfast, just like him; beneath his cold exterior lies a heart that beats only for her.

"You're welcome."

Xie Zhecheng paused for a moment, then added, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime. I have a very regular schedule and I'm free between 10 and 11 p.m.

"Okay," Yu Jiuyuan replied and hung up the phone.

Rong Shenghan watched her hang up the phone, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Xie Zhecheng is still the same as ever, doing everything in such a rigid and methodical way."

“Isn’t that good?” Yu Jiuyuan retorted. “His compiled information is always the most comprehensive and accurate.”

Rong Shenghan did not refute, but simply picked up the dessert on the table and handed it to her: "Try this, tiramisu, you used to like it."

Yu Jiuyuan took it, tasted it, and the sweet and bitter taste spread across her tongue.

She suddenly thought of Yuan Xu, that eccentric person who was obsessed with biological research, and wondered how he would react when he learned that she was going to take the postgraduate entrance exam.

Just then, another message popped up on my phone. It was from Yuan Xu: "[I saw you applied for quantum physics. I'm currently working on an interdisciplinary experiment that requires knowledge of quantum entanglement. Once you get accepted, we can study it together.]"

The message was accompanied by a complex experimental formula, which was obviously written casually by Yuan Xu.

Yu Jiuyuan looked at the message and couldn't help but smile.

In Yuan Xu's world, it seems that there is only scientific research and her, and even the way she expresses support is so special.

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Shenghan noticed her smile and asked curiously.

“I’m thinking about Yuan Xu,” Yu Jiuyuan said frankly. “He said he wants to do experiments with me after I get into graduate school.”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Rong Shenghan's eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

He knew that everyone around Yu Jiuyuan loved and supported her in their own way, and she...

Like a queen surrounded by stars, she calmly accepts everyone's efforts, but never gives anyone a complete response.

But he was willing, and Xie Zhecheng, Lin Yanran, and Yuan Xu were also willing.

They were irresistibly drawn to her, willingly becoming pawns in her game, at her beck and call, and under her control.

As the afternoon sun gradually slanted westward, Yu Jiuyuan finished the last sip of her coffee and got up to go back to her dormitory to study.

Rong Shenghan got up to see her off, and the two walked side by side on the sycamore-lined avenue, their shadows stretched long.

"The path to postgraduate entrance exams is very difficult. Do you want me to help you with some of the student union work?" Rong Shenghan asked, his tone full of concern.

"No need, I can handle the student council work."

Yu Jiuyuan kept walking. "Besides, dealing with these trivial matters also helps me relax my mind."

For her, the work of the student council was a piece of cake and would not affect her study progress at all.

When Yu Jiuyuan got to the dormitory building, she saw a huge cardboard box at the entrance of the security room. She knew without a doubt that it contained the documents that Xie Zhecheng had delivered.

Just as she was about to move it, Lin Yanran's driver quickly walked over and said respectfully, "Miss Yu, Mr. Lin asked me to bring the cookies over and help you carry this cardboard box upstairs."

Yu Jiuyuan did not refuse and nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

The driver followed her, carrying cardboard boxes, into the dormitory building.

In the dormitory, Yu Jiuyuan's desk was spotless, and various professional books were neatly arranged on the bookshelf. She asked the driver to place the cardboard box next to her desk, took the cookies, and thanked him.

After the driver left, Yu Jiuyuan opened the cardboard box, and sure enough, the postgraduate entrance examination syllabus, past exam papers, analysis, and various tutoring materials were neatly arranged inside.

Each book was marked with key points, and there were even handwritten notes by Xie Zhecheng, with neat and elegant handwriting, just like him.

She casually picked up a book of past exam papers, flipped through a few pages, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

These questions weren't too difficult for her, but she would need to put in more effort to get a perfect score.

Just then, the phone rang again; it was an unfamiliar number.

Yu Jiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Jiuyuan." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, with a slightly hoarse tone.

Yu Jiuyuan's pupils contracted slightly, and her fingertips unconsciously tightened their grip on her phone: "Ji Luoqin?"

She thought that after Ji Luoqin was kicked out of her life, she would never appear in her world again.

After all, she had the system make the suggestion for him.

"It's me." Ji Luoqin's voice carried a hint of self-deprecation. "I heard you're going to take the postgraduate entrance exam. I know some leading experts in quantum physics abroad who might be able to help you."

A cold glint flashed in Yu Jiuyuan's eyes: "No need, I don't need your help."

She never accepts gifts from losers, let alone from Ji Luoqin.

This idiot who drugged her time and time again.

"Jiuyuan, I know you still blame me."

Ji Luoqin's voice carried a hint of pleading, "I know I was wrong about what happened back then. Please give me another chance, okay? I'll do anything for you."

Yu Jiuyuan sneered, her tone icy and chilling: "Ji Luoqin, have you forgotten your place? Those who are kicked out should be aware of their place."

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately and blocked the number without hesitation.

Looking at the blocked number, Yu Jiuyuan's eyes remained completely calm.

Ji Luoqin's appearance was just a small episode in her long life. Since she had already eliminated her, she had no right to appear in her world again.

She didn't even bother to ask the system what was going on.

I picked up the past exam paper from the table again, ran my fingertips over the questions, and my brain worked at lightning speed.

As night fell outside the window, only the sound of her turning pages remained in the dormitory.

The path to postgraduate entrance exams may be an arduous journey for others, but for Yu Jiuyuan, it's just a new game.

After studying for a long time.

Yu Jiuyuan closed the book, looked out at the starry sky, and her eyes gleamed with ambition and a desire for control. She was determined to get the graduate program in quantum physics.
