Chapter 154: It’s not surveillance, it’s protection

"Keep your voice down! You're scaring her..."

A girl with pink hair slapped the boy on her right hard!

"Ah! Ah..." The sound suddenly dropped, and the boy waved his hands embarrassedly at He Jing while grinning.

"Excuse me……"

"It's okay, it's okay," He Jing also waved his hands repeatedly, "Hello, my name is He Jing, and I'm currently a sophomore."

The pink-haired girl took the initiative to step forward and said, "Hello, we are students in Professor Zhou's group. This guy and I are in our second year of graduate school, and they are both in their first year."

"My name is Lin Feifei, and his name is Gao Ming..."

Several people were introduced one by one. Among them, Lin Feifei and another boy named Chen Er were high-level people.

Lin Feifei enthusiastically pulled the person over, and then Mao Mao sneakily ran to Zhou Shulin's drawer and took out a small jar.

He lowered his voice and whispered, "This is a good thing that Lao Zhou got from somewhere a while ago. You can drink it by just soaking it in water. It makes you feel relaxed and refreshes your mind!"

Hey, isn’t this the tea she made herself when she was bored during the holidays?

This was sent by Yang Ziang when he passed by Central Star. She thought that fresh leaves were difficult to preserve, so she simply processed them in a simple way. After they withered naturally, she fried them dry in a casserole. This not only preserved the natural flavor of the tea, but also made its fragrance more obvious.

Some time ago, the two of them were discussing a project, and He Jing simply gave him a box.

"Is it fragrant?" A gentle male voice sounded behind her. Lin Feifei added water to the teapot without looking back. "Fragrant! It smells so good!"

No, Lin Feifei's hands froze. Isn't this Lao Zhou's voice?!

"Oh, Teacher Zhou is back. Look, the water is ready for you..."

Zhou Shulin chuckled and took the kettle from her hand. "This good stuff is the leaves of the tea tree you will be studying in the future."

"What?!" Several people shouted in unison, shocking Zhou Shulin so much that his hands trembled!

Lin Feifei suddenly had an idea, and her light grey eyes sparkled as she looked at He Jing, "Is this for Teacher Zhou?!"

Swish!

The remaining five pairs of bright and shining eyes looked over at the same time, and He Jing nodded stiffly.

"Then we can have as much as we want and drink however we want!"

"Should I...?" He Jing thought, considering the number of tea trees discovered so far, this small goal should be achievable, right?

He Jing looked at Zhou Shulin who was walking towards him with a teapot, and after receiving his approval, he continued:

"However, drinking too much of the tea polyphenols and caffeine in it may cause insomnia."

"Isn't that just perfect for us lab dogs?!"

After Gao Ming finished speaking, his face froze. What kind of chosen experimental dog is this?

The first group meeting went very smoothly. The two hours passed quickly and it was still early when it ended.

"Xiao He, do you want to go to the laboratory?"

"Okay!" He Jing nodded with a smile and sent a message to Xiao Wu and Gu Rong.

The laboratory building was not far from the office, and a group of people were chatting and laughing along the shade of the trees.

"Hey! He Jing!"

"Who are you?"

The boy under the willow tree's face flickered from green to black. "You made me repeat a year, and you still dare to ask who I am?"

"...Chris?"

"My name is Slick Levine!!!"

Furious! Coming with all force!

Six people immediately stood in front of He Jing. Zhou Shulin said lightly, "Didn't your father tell you to behave yourself when you get to school?"

"You..."

"Is your brother okay?"

Levin shut up instantly, his eyes filled with emotions. His brother's freedom was still restricted, and his father had repeatedly told him to stay put.

It's just that she is living under someone else's roof. The Gu family may not really care about her, otherwise they would not put her in a plantation that only ordinary people would choose.

Levin let out a breath of air when he thought of this. What if he got first place in the exam? He still studied a useless major.

Even if she was at level 3S, without professional training, she would be nothing more than a worthless waste! By the time the two-year guardianship period was over, with no one to protect her, she might not even know how she died!

Maybe I can even marry her and make her wish for death!

"Just wait for me!"

Levin glared at her viciously, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Only after the people had completely left did the young men breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who is that? He looks fierce."

"The second son of the Slick family."

Several people were instantly frightened. Ordinary people like them were probably not even as good as ants in the eyes of the noble families. "Did you guys have any misunderstanding?"

"It's not really a misunderstanding." He Jing briefly recounted what happened and then comforted them, "Don't worry, he's arrogant and lacks brains. He was so angry just now that he probably only saw me. Don't be afraid."

Six people: ...That's really strange.

Zhou Shulin laughed a few times, "You are quite courageous. His brother is smart and will be more cautious in doing things. He is a brainless person and tends to be impulsive."

"It's okay, he can't beat me."

He Jing spoke sincerely, but none of the seven people present believed him.

"real!"

"Okay, okay, really!" Lin Feifei smiled and put her arm around her shoulders. "If he looks for you again, run to where there are more people."

“…”So I still didn’t believe it.

The laboratory equipment of the Institute of Plant Research is quite complete. I took a look at the ongoing experiments and heard about the commonly used equipment. The sun was about to set outside.

Coming out of the laboratory, He Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the wind today had become more comfortable!

I thought it would take some effort to fit in, but I didn't expect them to open their arms to me from the beginning.

He Jing hummed a song and sent a message to the driver at home.

"In a good mood?"

"That's great!" He Jing smiled and looked at the newcomer. "Why are you out? Don't you have data to monitor tonight?"

"If I have to personally handle this kind of thing, then they should all be retrained!"

Zhou Shulin smiled and threw out a small dried fish, which He Jing caught quickly.

"Send you home?"

"No need, the driver is already at the door!"

"Alright." Zhou Shulin wanted to say something, but he looked up and saw someone in the distance. "Looks like you really don't need me anymore. Your little bodyguard is here."

He Jing was speechless. "What do you mean my little bodyguard? His name is Wu Yu."

Zhou Shulin chuckled, not caring about anything. "It's been a year now, you're being watched and guarded like this every day. Don't you feel annoyed?"

"How could that be?" He Jing, holding a dried fish in his mouth, felt that his words were full of provocation.

"You don't understand."

“…”

Okay, I don’t understand, but you do. You, the silly cat who is being watched 360 degrees every day, understands.

He Jing waved his hand. Zhou Shulin watched the two walk away with mixed feelings.

"What brings you here?"

"Just finished training, and Uncle Gu said you haven't gone home yet, so I came here to try my luck."

Wu Yu said as he took He Jing's backpack into his own hands and took out a bag of yogurt.

"Wow! It's already this late, and you can still buy this?"

He Jing took it with shining eyes, tore open the bag, and took a sip. It was lemon charcoal-grilled yogurt, sour and sweet, with a strong caramelized aroma.

"Well, there's just one bag left."

"It's a pity that they only have it in the vending machine at your military academy. By the way, are you going out for training?"

"Well, starting next week."

"Do you know where it's going?"

"The experimental base in the Southeast War Zone."

"Ah...that must be far, but I'm going out too."

Wu Yu paused, his face stiffening. "What?"
