Chapter 109 Chapter 109 [Special Treatment]
Next day
Lin Yimu went to Professor Zheng's office early in the morning to ask for leave, intending to visit the school together with Yuan Mingxu when he arrived. However, he was worried about the data problems he was researching and the new project he was preparing, so when he passed by the library, he couldn't help but walk in because it was still early.
Even though Lin Yimu has his own all-encompassing interstellar library, he still likes to go to the library to study sometimes. If for no other reason, the quiet atmosphere in the library is quite suitable for studying.
Lin Yimu walked into the library, thinking that there was still plenty of time to find some information on fluid mechanics to study. Maybe he could gain something from it. Otherwise, it would be too uneasy to sleep with the worry in his mind.
While Lin Yimu was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, Yuan Mingxu was already on his way to Peking University in his uncle's car.
Looking at his uncle who was sitting next to him with his head down at a document, Yuan Mingxu sighed deeply. He had originally planned to take a taxi to Peking University by himself, but he didn't know why his uncle, who usually didn't care about anything, cared so much about Lin Yimu's affairs that he actually sat at the dining table waiting for him early in the morning and even said that he would personally send him to Peking University.
These words scared Yuan Mingxu, who had just woken up and was still dazed, and he woke up immediately. He was even wondering in his heart whether Lin Yimu had offended his uncle in some way, otherwise why would he care so much about what happened today?
He was actually sitting here early in the morning waiting to be sent to school. How could he not know when his uncle had become so curious?
Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Yuan Mingxu didn't dare to show them, because he always felt that if he said them out loud, the consequences might be terrible. He could only finish his breakfast in silence and get in the car with his uncle.
Yuan Mingxu was extremely curious, but seeing his uncle looking at the documents with indifference, he did not dare to ask. He could only mutter to himself until the car was about to arrive at the gate of Peking University.
"Call him and ask him to pick you up at the school gate."
Just as Yuan Mingxu was muttering to himself absentmindedly, He Xiuji's cold and low voice suddenly came to his ears, bringing him back to his senses.
Seeing his uncle who didn't even change his sitting position, Yuan Mingxu thought he was hallucinating and asked uncertainly, "Uncle, did you speak just now?"
He Xiu Ji raised his eyes and glanced at him with disdain after hearing that, then lowered his head and continued to read the documents while saying: "If your ears don't work well, you can replace them. Hurry up and call." Although his tone was full of disdain, he still did not forget to remind him to call.
Of course Yuan Mingxu saw his uncle's disdainful look towards him, but now he didn't care at all. What he cared about was his uncle's attitude towards Lin Yimu.
He was actually asked to call Lin Yi Mu to come out. This was too weird. Did his uncle send him to school just to see Lin Yi Mu? And this attitude doesn't seem like the way to treat enemies and spies, right?
Although Yuan Mingxu's doubts were already flooding his mind, he still obediently called Lin Yimu. He secretly decided to observe his uncle carefully later to see what he was planning. If he couldn't find the answer, he would ask the other person involved. Otherwise, he would definitely not be in the mood to do anything today.
————
In the library, Lin Yimu was concentrating on looking up information when his cell phone suddenly rang, startling him back to his senses.
After quickly pressing the answer button, he apologized to the few students who were still in the library and found a quiet place to answer the call.
When Lin Yimu saw that the caller ID showed Yuan Mingxu, he knew that he might have already arrived at Peking University. So when he heard the other party asking him to pick him up, he thought that he had never been to Peking University, so he didn't think much about it and went straight to the school gate.
When Lin Yimu walked to the school gate, Yuan Mingxu's car just arrived.
Looking at Yuan Mingxu getting out of the car, Lin Yimu smiled teasingly, "Why, you need your family to drive you to Beijing University to meet your friends? Is your uncle so strict with you?"
As soon as Lin Yimu finished speaking, he did not hear Yuan Mingxu complaining as usual. Instead, he heard a low and cold voice saying, "Since classmate Lin is so curious, why don't you accompany Mingxu today to experience how I strictly discipline him?"
When Lin Yimu heard this voice, the cold and handsome face and indifferent and sharp eyes of He Xiuji came to his mind. His heart couldn't help but beat, and even his steps stopped for a moment.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Yimu saw a man standing by the other door. He was staring at him with his cold and sharp eyes, but those eyes were full of inquiry and inexplicable meaning, which made Lin Yimu a little confused for a moment.
Lin Yimu stood there awkwardly, but in his heart he was stabbing Yuan Mingxu from head to toe. It would have been fine if he came alone, but why did he bring his uncle along? That would have been fine, but they didn't even remind him, causing him to gossip about someone else and be heard by the person involved. Now he wishes he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu glanced at Yuan Mingxu who was standing beside him and glared at him fiercely. The implication of settling scores was very obvious in his eyes, which made Yuan Mingxu, who was already feeling guilty, dare not look at him even more. His eyes wandered left and right but did not meet Lin Yimu's gaze.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yimu gritted his teeth secretly, but he could only bite the bullet and deal with He Xiuji who kept staring at him.
"Mr. He, you and Yuan Mingxu have a really good relationship. You even sent him here in person." Lin Yimu forced a smile and changed the subject dryly.
He Xiuji found it very interesting to see Lin Yimu trying to deal with him with a forced smile, so he couldn't help but want to tease him, so he said, "Isn't it better for Lin Yimu to witness it in person?"
Lin Yimu laughed dryly and said, "That's not necessary. I'm afraid I don't have that much time today. I'll definitely do it next time, definitely next time."
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he quickly walked to Yuan Mingxu and wanted to pull him away quickly, but was stopped by He Xiuji who had already walked over.
Lin Yimu looked up at the man in front of him. For some reason, he felt that he was teasing him on purpose. However, looking at his face which still showed no expression, he felt uncertain.
But Lin Yimu was very sure that he didn't want to have any contact with him for the time being. It was too embarrassing. He had never said bad things about others in front of others. Although those were not bad words, it was always bad if the person concerned heard it.
"Why are you so afraid of me this time? Since I'm here, why not bring one more person?" He Xiuji said in a calm tone but with an unquestionable look as he looked at Lin Yimu.
Lin Yimu felt it was very uncomfortable when he saw the other person like this. He didn't look like the kind of person who could say such things, and besides, wasn't he a big boss and not busy? How could I find time to walk around the campus with them?
No matter what he thought in his heart, since the other party had already proposed it, Lin Yimu was embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded and agreed reluctantly. However, he always felt that they would not be comfortable with him around on the journey.
Seeing that Lin Yi Mu agreed to his request awkwardly, He Xiu Ji had a hint of smile in his eyes, but it disappeared before anyone noticed. His face remained calm, but his pace as he followed Lin Yi Mu was very relaxed.
The interaction between the two was seen by Yuan Mingxu, who had been secretly paying attention to his uncle. Seeing his uncle's obvious abnormality, he was in a state of excitement, especially when he found that he was deliberately teasing Lin Yimu, and his obviously gentle expression when looking at Lin Yimu, Yuan Mingxu felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
Because of this discovery, he was in an inexplicable excitement the whole morning, stealing glances at Lin Yi Mu and his uncle from time to time. Even when Lin Yi Mu spoke to him, he was sometimes slow to react.
Lin Yimu helplessly looked at He Xiuji who was following him silently and Yuan Mingxu who was distracted from time to time, feeling powerless. "I say, Yuan Mingxu, are you listening to me?"
Yuan Mingxu was wondering why his uncle was acting so strangely today, so he didn't pay much attention to what Lin Yimu said along the way. Now when he heard Lin Yimu suddenly calling his name loudly, he finally came back to his senses and felt very embarrassed. "Ah? I was listening, I was listening, what did you just say?"
Lin Yimu rolled his eyes speechlessly, looked at He Xiuji who was looking around at the environment, and repeated what he had just said.
"I just suggested to Mr. He that I ask you to hang out with me in the school library this afternoon to help me find some information. Mr. He agreed and asked me to ask you what you think."
This time, Yuan Mingxu finally listened to Lin Yimu's words carefully and agreed without any hesitation. After that, the three of them walked around Peking University together for a while. When it was noon, He Xiuji asked to treat Lin Yimu to a meal as a thank you for accompanying him this morning.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu looked at the noble man in front of him with difficulty, not knowing what to say.
He followed them the entire morning, but basically did not speak unless asked. He was such a powerful person, but he was so quiet that people ignored him. It would be more accurate to say that he was accompanying Lin Yimu and Yuan Mingxu rather than Lin Yimu accompanying him throughout the morning.
As a result, the other party now wants to invite him to dinner, and uses such an excuse. Lin Yimu seriously suspects that the other party has other intentions, and the excuse he finds is too careless.
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Lin Yimu hesitated for a while and was about to refuse, but Yuan Mingxu grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Since my uncle is willing to treat us, let's go and eat. Anyway, he doesn't need the money for this meal, so we'll waste it if we don't eat."
As he said that, he smiled and pulled Lin Yi Mu towards the school gate. Before leaving, he gave a meaningful look to He Xiu Ji who was following behind him. However, He Xiu Ji didn't even glance at him and just followed him out as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Mingxu, who was completely ignored by his uncle, didn't care about his attitude at all. Instead, he was secretly happy in his heart.
He finally realized that his uncle, who said he was curious about Lin Yi Mu but couldn't find any news about him, was not the case based on his observations throughout the morning.
But looking at his uncle's current state, he probably doesn't understand what's going on. As for whether to help, Yuan Mingxu decided that in order to avoid being forced to study all the time, maybe he could give it a push.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains. I really want to see if my uncle can still maintain his current calm and indifferent attitude.
