This time the data was more difficult to obtain than last time; after most of the day, only a slight progress was made.
Working at the research institute requires constant concentration and extremely strong mental processing skills. Doing experiments while simultaneously processing data can be physically and mentally exhausting.
For example, right now.
Just as Yu Wan relaxed, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and her eyes were slightly red. She leaned back, tilted her head back, and put a few drops of eye drops into her eyes.
Little did they know that the backward-leaning posture subtly revealed a section of her fair and delicate swan neck, her cherry-red lips slightly parted, and looking down at her collar, her collarbone was inadvertently revealed under the round-neck black T-shirt, dazzlingly white under the light.
The laboratory suddenly fell silent.
Ji Tinghu desperately suppressed his racing heart and breathing as he stepped forward, his voice hoarse as he asked, "You look very tired. Do you want me to take you home?"
"No need." Yu Wan wiped away the overflowing water droplets and coldly refused, "Someone will come to pick me up." She knew her physical condition perfectly well and had no intention of being stubborn, so she had sent a text message to Meng Shen two hours earlier.
Ji Ting couldn't help but think of the "Tang Dog" that flashed in his mind during the last phone call. His heart tightened, but he smiled and said, "Then I'll take you downstairs and meet your friend while I'm at it."
Yu Wan frowned: "No need."
The voice was as cold and distant as ever, offering a refusal with no room for negotiation.
Although Ji Ting had guessed she would refuse, he was still somewhat disappointed, but he said with a grin, "You are a key figure in our team, it is only right that we take good care of you."
Yu Wan glanced at him indifferently, vaguely guessing what was going on in her mind. She nodded casually, but her finger opened the WeChat chat box and sent a message to Meng Shen.
Come and act in a scene with me later.
Seeing that she agreed, Ji Ting's eyes suddenly lit up. Then he remembered that he had spent the whole day in the lab and his appearance was terrible, so he said anxiously, "Wait a minute, I'm going to the restroom."
Watching him leave in a hurry, Yu Wan remained in that lazy posture. Just as she was about to look away, she saw Professor Li looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
This is really... troublesome.
Yu Wan slightly raised her chin: "I will handle it as soon as possible."
Professor Li became even more worried.
-
It was delayed by half an hour.
Halfway there, Meng Shen received a text message and immediately navigated to a nearby flower shop.
Therefore, when Yu Wan came downstairs, she was so shocked by the huge bouquet of 999 roses in front of her that her mouth twitched.
Meng Shen familiarly put his arm around her shoulder, looked up at Ji Ting, and smiled: "Wanwan, who is this...?"
...Is he Yue Ye's rival in love?
There's simply no comparison!
This pretty boy is only good for making underage girls scream. Master Yue can easily crush him. He's not the type his brother likes at all.
I can finally put my mind at ease.
As he sized up Ji Ting, the other man was also sizing him up.
Meng Shen was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him. In addition, he had been around Tang Yue for a long time and had learned to smile politely at the corners of his mouth. At first glance, he had the air of a refined and noble young man.
Ji Ting lowered his eyes, his fingers loosely forming a fist. In their first exchange, he realized he had no advantage whatsoever.
Even more cruelly...
"Oh, a colleague from the research institute." Yu Wan spoke casually, her words as cold as ice, causing Ji Ting's heart to throb with pain.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Yu Wan walked towards the car door, haphazardly tossed the roses onto the back seat, closed the door, opened the passenger door, and bent down to sit inside.
"We're going home now." Meng Shen smiled slightly at Ji Ting, her manners impeccable.
Ji Ting's face turned pale; they had already reached the point of living together!
The blue sports car started its engine and sped off in a flash.
Once outside the park, Meng Shen slammed on the brakes, pulled out a few sheets of paper, and hurriedly blew his nose, exclaiming, "Oh my god, I almost got caught!"
"..." is commonly known as being handsome for no more than three seconds.
Yu Wan paused for a moment, then closed her eyes.
-
The last class of the semester was econometrics.
The lecture hall was packed.
Unlike other teachers, Rong Yun didn't highlight any key points. Instead, she calmly took out a list and read out the names of students with unsatisfactory attendance.
Immediately, the scene was filled with wails and screams.
As soon as the list was announced, a student suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Rong, Yu Wan often skips class, so why isn't her name on the list?"
The classroom suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's gaze suddenly shifted to the girl sitting casually in the corner, filled with curiosity, doubt, scrutiny, disdain, and apprehension... whispering among themselves.
"If Yu Wan stays another year, she'll have to take this course with next year's freshmen. That would be so embarrassing!"
"Fortunately, the school still has a good teacher like Teacher Rong who is upright and incorruptible and will not compromise his principles for money."
"That's strange. Isn't Wang Min'an the top student in the grade? Why does he need to repeat this course?"
"I heard it was to take notes for Yu Wan; she was probably coerced."
"Of course, otherwise I'd be stupid and have to take the course all over again."
Yu Wan rested her chin on one hand and placed the other hand on the table, her long, slender fingers tapping unconsciously.
The girl who had spoken was looking at her defiantly, her eyes full of smugness and disdain.
I don't remember him; he's probably just one of Wang Minlin's lackeys.
They're just playing these petty tricks. Why are these people so boring? Why are they keeping such a close eye on her?
Is it because there isn't enough homework?
...There really isn't much homework in university.
Yu Wan pursed her lips, her brows furrowed with a mixture of irritation and frustration.
"Thump!"
A soft sound suddenly came from the podium.
The entire class fell silent.
Rong Yun slammed the health-preserving kettle on the table, his cold gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on the female student. He said sternly, "Student Yu has not skipped any classes; she has applied for leave for all of them. If you have any objections, you can come with me to the office to see the leave application."
The girl was pale-faced and argued softly, "Even if Yu Wan didn't skip class, she still got a zero and will have to retake the course next year. It doesn't matter whether there's an exam or not."
The classroom was quiet, and although she spoke very softly, everyone could hear her clearly.
Many people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Rong Yun's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Cultivating one's character comes first, then studying. Yu is not only your senior, but also your classmate. Even if you don't like her, you can keep it to yourself, but you can't kick her when she's down and laugh at her."
He always treated everyone equally; in his eyes, top students and struggling students were all students. Even if it wasn't Yu Wan being mocked today, but someone else, he would still have reprimanded them.
"I..." The girl blushed and threw herself on the table, tears streaming down her face after being reprimanded in public.
