Chapter 188: Meet at a stall, just hungry (Update 1)
When Shen Qiannan received a call from Xie Dingyuan, he was stunned by the scolding from the other side before he could even open his mouth.
"...Who are you talking about? A woman?" He finally found a chance to interrupt.
The other end gnashed out a name through gritted teeth: "Jiang, Fu, Yue!"
Shen Qiannan was at a loss: "What happened to Jiang Fuyue?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyebrows jumped: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"What are you telling me? They're just using the lab for a bit, don't be so stingy! Are you not going to lend it to Jiang Fuyue?"
The other end was stunned.
If it was Jiang Fuyue...
Xie Dingyuan thought that he would probably lend it to him again, as he had apologized last time and the two of them had reconciled.
It makes no sense that he would agree to share the laboratory with "Shen Qiannan's friend", but disagree when this friend turned out to be Jiang Fuyue.
Well, that's the logic.
After realizing this, he suddenly stopped being angry.
So what about Jiang Fuyue?
Just treat him as an ordinary person and there is no need to worry about it.
Little did he know that when he started thinking about these things and constantly gave himself psychological hints, the entanglement had already begun, and the "ordinary person" naturally became "extraordinary".
Unfortunately, Xie Dingyuan was in the game and was completely unaware of it.
"It's okay," he said, and ended the call.
Shen Qiannan: “?”
It's just so inexplicable!
…
In the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue went to B University to attend the NOI training class.
It took her half an hour to complete the twelve questions, then she handed in the paper, turned off the computer, and left.
Fan Ye: "Is Sister Yue's speed getting faster again?"
Huang Hui: "Maybe it was always that fast."
Gao Zhaoming: "It may also be faster."
Everyone: We are tired of saying the word "awesome"!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue rushed back to the laboratory and stayed there for six hours.
When she looked out the window again, it was already dark.
My stomach also started to protest.
It was late at night and she didn't order takeout.
After recording the second set of data, which was great, more than two hours faster than yesterday, she decided to leave early and eat something at the school gate.
After tidying up the operating table, putting all the equipment back in place, checking and rechecking the power supply of all the equipment, and confirming that everything was correct, Jiang Fuyue signed his name in the "Laboratory Usage Record Book" and attached the date, specifying the time and minute.
Then, turn off the lights and lock the door.
The whole set of movements was completed in one go and was so standardized that there was no mistake at all.
The light on Xie Dingyuan's side was still on, and Jiang Fuyue took a quick look before looking away.
…
Outside the school gate, there is a wonton stall.
"Please enjoy your big bowl." The proprietress brought it over and placed it in front of her.
The fresh and cute little wontons were floating in the big bone soup, and were garnished with green chopped green onions, making them even more tempting.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The reason why she gave up so many regular restaurants and chose such a small stall was that she was seduced by the fragrance and couldn't move her legs while standing in front of the stall.
then……
She ordered a large portion with a chutzpah.
This bowl is really big, but she can finish it.
A wonton and a sip of soup, the taste is so good!
No matter how many years human society develops, the satisfaction brought by having enough food is always so easy to obtain.
Everything was fine until...
A shadow fell over her head, and before Jiang Fuyue could refuse, the man had already sat down opposite her.
Their eyes met. Compared to the surprise and embarrassment at noon, Xie Dingyuan was now calm and steady as an old dog.
"Hello again," he said.
Jiang Fuyue: "There are other seats."
"I'm used to sitting here."
Habit?
Just then, the proprietress came forward with a smile, "Professor Xie, you're here! It's been a while since I last saw you. Would you like a smaller portion?"
"Um."
"Okay! Then let's stick with the usual rules, add onions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro."
The man nodded: "Sorry for the trouble."
"You're being polite. It's just a small matter!"
"Wait a minute..." Jiang Fuyue suddenly asked, "Why don't I have cilantro?"
The proprietress was stunned for two seconds, then her smile became even brighter: "Little girl, do you like coriander?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded.
"Just tell me earlier! I'll add you!"
"But you don't have any condiments..."
"It's rare to get wontons with cilantro. To ensure freshness, we usually cut them fresh. Since you and Professor Xie both want some, I'll cut some more!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the stall, took out a chopping board and a kitchen knife, and started chopping with great skill.
Finally, he put the food in a small bowl and placed it in front of the two of them: "Just call me when you're done eating, I'll give you enough!"
Xie Dingyuan glanced at Xiaowan: "You first?"
Jiang Fuyue didn't hesitate, since his wontons hadn't arrived yet.
"Few girls like to eat coriander." He suddenly said.
Jiang Fuyue: "Maybe it's because you haven't met enough girls. Just make up for it."
Xie Dingyuan: “?”
The pickup attempt failed.
Next, the two of them ate the wontons in their respective bowls quietly without speaking again.
The man's eating manners were very elegant, and it was obvious that he had received a good family education.
Even the way he holds the chopsticks is pleasing to the eye.
The two sat opposite each other. While Jiang Fuyue "inevitably" looked at the man, Xie Dingyuan was also observing her "as if unintentionally".
The girl must be hungry, so she ordered a large portion. When she lowered her head to eat the wontons, she could clearly see that the mouth of the bowl was bigger than her face.
The rising heat blurred her eyes, but she could still see the sparkling light in her peach blossom eyes.
She must like this smell very much. There is a sense of comfort in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and even a hint of laziness wrapped in charm.
The wontons made her lips rosy red, which made her skin look even more flawless and fair like jade.
I just don't know how it feels...
Xie Dingyuan's eyelids twitched, as if he was startled by a fleeting thought. He quickly looked away and buried his head in eating.
But the taste that I used to like now seems a bit bland and boring.
In comparison, Jiang Fuyue is much more focused.
Well, focus on the wontons and fill your stomach.
"Aren't you participating in the physics competition summer camp training?"
Jiang Fuyue nodded.
"Then what are you borrowing the lab for?"
"There are several experimental data to be released."
"You? Produce experimental data?"
Jiang Fuyue raised her chin slightly and smiled: "Is there any problem?"
"If I remember correctly, you haven't even graduated from high school yet."
Any high school experiment, including those so-called competitions, cannot use a laboratory with high-specification configuration like A1.
unless……
Jiang Fuyue asked, "When Professor Xie was in high school, did he only learn high school knowledge?"
Xie Dingyuan: "...I didn't go to high school."
"?"
"Skipped a grade."
"...Oh." Although you had no expression on your face, I still felt that you were a little proud.
Xie Dingyuan: Is there? Even if there is, I won’t admit it.
"What subject are you researching?"
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, "You believe it? Don't you think I'm bragging?"
"Anyone who can properly use all laboratory instruments and equipment should have a breadth of knowledge and research capabilities beyond that of a high school student."
Xie Dingyuan has read her "Laboratory Usage Record Book" and "Equipment Usage Record Book", both of which are very standardized.
As for her not eating in the lab this morning...
Looking back, it was probably not a deliberate trap to make him laugh, but she had never intended to do that in the first place.
Jiang Fuyue is familiar with the rules and can abide by them consciously.
Xie Dingyuan had to admit this.
"When you stop looking at people out of the corner of your eye, you finally have the intelligence a professor should have."
Xie Dingyuan: “?”
Me? Judging people out of the corner of my eye? No IQ?
Jiang Fuyue: "It's a physical analysis of bacterial movement, and requires the use of biochemical laboratory equipment to observe and record data."
As for the physical aspects, she didn't say much.
Xie Dingyuan was also very tactful and did not ask any further questions.
After eating, Jiang Fuyue took out her phone to pay the bill, but the proprietress smiled and told her, "Professor Xie has already paid."
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the man: "Invite me?"
"Yeah." He nodded. Under the light, his dark pupils reflected tiny bits of light. Even so, it couldn't conceal the innate arrogance and the indifference accumulated over the years in his eyes.
"As the saying goes, no reward without merit."
Xie Dingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Just consider it as an apology."
Jiang Fuyue didn't refuse anymore and thanked him generously: "I'm going back to school."
"Um."
The man watched her back as she entered the school gate. Only after she disappeared from his sight did he withdraw his gaze and turn to walk towards the parking lot.
In fact, his car had already driven out of the school gate and went a long way, but he finally turned around and drove back, parked opposite the stall, walked over, and ordered a bowl of wontons.
Xie Dingyuan thought, he was not doing this for anyone, he was just hungry.
That's it.
