Chapter 683: Something's Strange (Two chapters combined)
"No interaction? Wait, do you all know the big shot's boyfriend? Why can't I find any photos of him when I searched online?"
“Someone took a picture of the entrance to the big boss’s coming-of-age banquet before. I was lucky enough to see it online once, but it was probably deleted afterward. So those of you who missed it probably won’t see it. All I can say is that the two of them are top-notch in terms of looks, temperament, and net worth!”
"ipg.image. I've saved the image! Look quickly if you want to see it! Delete it immediately after counting to five! 5~4~3~1~!"
"...Is the person upstairs saying they can't take a joke? Did you eat the 2?"
"Exactly! It disappeared as soon as I tried to download it!"
"Is this stupid website going to be upgraded? It takes so long to load the images! They're gone as soon as I see them!! Can you put them back on?!"
"I wouldn't dare. I felt a chill run down my spine when I posted that. You can look, but please don't spread it around. Otherwise, if the big shots find out, we'll all be finished!"
"I know, I know! Both of them are incredibly beautiful! When Nuwa created humans, was I one of the handfuls of mud she threw out?"
"Some people were just saying that the big shot and her boyfriend might have broken up because they haven't been interacting at all. Well, let me tell you! At the school gate! The heartthrob is here to pick her up from school! I've given you the address! Now it's up to you whether you're lucky enough to see her! I'm already pretending to be playing on my phone while I wait for her to come out!"
"!!! Immediately teleport to the gate!"
"The big shot should be in the library right now. I should be able to get to the main gate from my dorm faster than her!"
"I'm at the basketball court, I'll ride my bike there right away!"
"I saw the big shot at the library entrance! He's walking towards the school gate!"
Gu Yin rarely logged into the school's forum, so she had no idea that her every move was being reported by the students at the school.
She had received a message from Chu Yan while she was at the library, saying that he was coming to pick her up for dinner.
Gu Yin found a bicycle. Because it was right after class, there were a lot of people around, so she could only ride slowly towards the school gate.
Chu Yan got out of the car at the entrance and went to the milk tea shop next door to buy a cup of Gu Yin's favorite flavor. When he returned to the car, he originally wanted to stand outside and wait, but he noticed that people around him were watching him, and some people even raised their phones. Chu Yan frowned, but had no choice but to return to the car and stare at the entrance through the open car window.
The forum was still lively, with most of the posts besides Gu Yin's location information being photos of Chu Yan!
"Speaking of which, even male gods who earn over a million a day look incredibly charming holding a milk tea! While other guys drink milk tea themselves, male gods holding milk tea look like they're shooting a blockbuster advertisement!"
"Even the richest man's heir knows to buy bubble tea when picking up his girlfriend! My finance major boyfriend actually thinks going to the cafeteria to get food is a waste of his time making money!! He always makes me get the food! He's never given me his meal card, he always uses mine! We're both freshmen! I'm a math major! I'm heartbroken, jealous, and so jealous, I'm breaking up with him right now!"
"What kind of idiot is upstairs? A finance major talking about making money before even being a junior, either his family is rich or he's some kind of genius. Which one is your boyfriend?"
"Neither of the two. Forget it, I won't say anything more. It's exhausting to talk about it. I've already sent a breakup text."
"You've already been admitted to Qingdao University, how can you still be so naive? It's pathetic!"
"The big shot has come out on his bike!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, a group of people coming out together, you can spot the big shot at a glance! So fair-skinned she's practically glowing! Even her hair is so beautiful! So gorgeous!"
"Ah! The boss smiled at me, so I'll have an extra bowl of rice for lunch!"
"I have the phone wallpaper! It's so beautiful!"
Gu Yin parked her bicycle and looked up to see several female classmates taking pictures in front of her. She paused for a moment, then smiled at them and turned to walk towards Chu Yan's car.
Chu Yan opened the passenger door and handed Gu Yin the milk tea after she got in: "It's at room temperature. I took a small cup, so you can have a little."
Gu Yin fastened her seatbelt, reached out and took the car. As the car started and drove around the gate, Gu Yin saw several people taking pictures of them.
So he asked in confusion, "What's going on today? Why are so many people taking pictures of us? I've never seen this before when you came to pick me up. It's weird."
Chu Yan glanced at the school gate: "They're probably just curious. You don't attend classes often and spend most of your time in the lab. Maybe they haven't seen you in a while and assumed that when they picked you up, they would drive directly to the lab and rarely drive to the main gate. But they could also be curious about the two of us. I was also photographed before you arrived."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, and her phone rang repeatedly. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xiang Xingmang.
Xiang Xingmang: "Link... The forum is so lively, I bet you wanted to know. But speaking of which, you've gone back to school, why haven't you contacted us? It's been so long since we ate together, boss! Have you forgotten about 'Don't forget us when you're rich and powerful'?! ┭┮﹏┭┮!"
Seeing the screen full of complaints, Gu Yin chuckled helplessly and replied, "I just got back today. I checked your schedules and saw that you all have classes all day, so I didn't call you. Tomorrow, let's have dinner together. It's on me. Let's invite everyone else over too."
Gu Yin has been busy with experiments and has reduced her social interactions with everyone except her family, including Xingmang and Lulu. This is mainly because she has been too busy. Recently, she has been at school and has not had much to do, so she wanted to get together with everyone.
Xiang Xingmang: "Sure! I'll call them! I want a big meal! Not the cafeteria!"
Gu Yin said helplessly, "You choose the address! Anywhere is fine, okay?"
Xiang Xingmang: "Okay! Just remember to bring your wallet!"
Gu Yin: "I won't make you lie there washing dishes!"
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she clicked on the link that Xiang Xingmang had sent her, and then she saw the forum posts about her and Chu Yan. There were photos of them at the school gate everywhere, and all sorts of praises were posted below. Gu Yin felt helpless and amused at the same time.
Just then, the red light turned on, and Gu Yin handed her phone to Chu Yan: "The truth about taking pictures at the school gate is here. These people are really bored. Don't they have enough schoolwork? They still have time to gossip!"
Chu Yan took the phone, browsed the forum for a while, and when the green light came on, he handed the phone to Gu Yin and said with a smile, "Let's have some fun during our free time. But judging from their comments, they actually think we've broken up. It seems I haven't been around enough to make them so curious. I'll wait for you at the door a few more times, and they won't be so curious anymore."
Speaking of this, Gu Yin thought of the dinner party tomorrow, so she asked, "Tomorrow I'm having dinner with my former roommates and a few friends. Do you want to come?"
Chu Yan sighed, "I want to go too, but I have to go abroad for two days. Ah Le said he needs to talk to me."
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "A-Le? What happened to him? Why do you need me to go over there? Grandma is over there, does something serious have happened?"
Chu Yan parked the car in front of a restaurant and shook his head: "Don't worry, nothing happened. They just asked me to pick up a talent. That person had some trouble. Ah Le and Grandma are performing in another country, so they don't have time to deal with it."
Gu Le's life at school was exceptionally colorful. Every time she came back via video call, she was either attending a party in one country, performing in another, or attending a princess's or prince's birthday party in yet another country. She was even busier than Gu Yin.
Sometimes when Gu Yin isn't on video call at home, Gu Le will send all the photos of what he's doing to Gu Yin's phone so she knows his current situation.
So when she heard Chu Yan say that Gu Le was performing, she was no longer worried. However, she still had a question: "What kind of people do you need to deal with?"
Chu Yan shook his head: "Gu Le didn't say much, but that person is a senior from my school and also from our country. To be able to get into Foshan University is really impressive. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, and the two got out of the car to go eat.
The next morning, after seeing Chu Yan off, Gu Yin went to the hospital to check on Li Li. He was recovering very well, but because of the eye surgery, he couldn't move around yet. The specific situation would only be clear after some time, such as whether there was any rejection.
It was past eleven o'clock when Gu Yin left the hospital. By the time she returned to Qingda University, the bell had already rung, so she didn't go back into the school gate and waited for Xiang Xingmang and the others to come out.
"Gu Yin! Over here!"
Hearing a sound behind her, Gu Yin turned around and saw Yu Cheng and Wei Feng getting out of a black car and walking towards her.
Gu Yin smiled and waved: "Why didn't you come from school?"
Yu Cheng smiled and said, "We only have three classes in the morning. After class, we can go home and drive the car over. It will be convenient for us to get there later."
Wei Feng looked at the people coming and going and said, "Let's go to the car and wait for them."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, you should tell Yu Lulu and the others."
The three got into the car, with Gu Yin sitting in the back.
Yu Cheng handed Gu Yin a bottle of unopened water and said with a smile, "We haven't gotten together in a while. We're doing okay, we get together from time to time on weekends. But you've been so busy, I don't even know where to look for you. I send you a message and it takes two or three days to get a reply. The funniest thing is that you only ask where to eat after we've all finished eating!"
Gu Yin took the water and said helplessly, "I'm really too busy, so busy I'm dizzy."
Wei Feng asked curiously, "I saw your message on the forum; you've been in the library the whole time and haven't been to the lab. Are you done with your work now?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I've taken some time off to prepare for the CET-6 exam."
The two people in the front row rolled their eyes simultaneously: "You're really going to make time for a mere Level 6 exam? We don't believe it."
Gu Yin chuckled: "It's mainly about the direct PhD program. I'm preparing some materials and dealing with final exams. Besides biomedical science, I also have a second major in computer science, so I'm very busy."
"Direct PhD!!!"
"Are you sure you won't be pursuing a master's degree through the recommendation system, but will instead go straight to a PhD program?
The two exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Yin touched her nose and nodded: "It's a direct PhD program."
Yu Cheng's mind went blank, and his eyes glazed over.
Wei Feng opened his mouth, wanting to make a sound but unable to.
Even after the car door opened and Xiang Xingmang and Yu Lulu got in, neither of them had come to their senses.
Xiang Xingmang hugged Gu Yin's arm and mumbled, "Long time no see! Did you miss us?"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "I did."
Xiang Xingmang smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "You still have a conscience. By the way, Yueya and Dayu are not available. Yueya has an event in her department, and Dayu is tutoring. It was all arranged in advance, so the time cannot be changed. It will just be the five of us getting together."
Gu Yin nodded understandingly upon hearing this: "Their business is important, the gathering can be held anytime."
Yu Lulu sighed, "That's not always possible. You're too busy. I can already imagine that we'll be just as busy as you after we graduate! By the way, you two in front, now that everyone's here, shouldn't the car start moving? What are you two spacing out for?"
Yu Cheng smoothed his face with both hands and looked at Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang, saying, "Do you know why Gu Yin has been showing up at school lately?"
Yu Lulu raised her eyebrows: "Why?"
Wei Feng quietly continued, "Because she's going straight to a PhD program, she needs to prepare the necessary documents."
The car fell silent.
"Ahhhhh!!! Direct PhD!!! Ah Yin, are you even human?! You actually went straight to PhD!" Xiang Xingmang shouted excitedly, shaking Gu Yin's arm.
Yu Lulu exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of a big shot! Skipping grades is one thing, graduating early is another, but going straight to a PhD program is another! Can you spare some of your intelligence for me?!"
Gu Yin tilted her head slightly upon hearing this and nuzzled Yu Lulu's forehead: "Hey, I'm passing on my intelligence to you."
Yu Lulu: "...!!! Waaaaah, Boss, how can you be so cute! How can I be a little proud to have such an amazing friend?! Boss, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful!"
Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "I know, I know, I won't forget. When I graduate with my doctorate, I'll be recruiting students. You guys figure it out yourselves."
Their eyes lit up.
"Can we do it too?!" Yu Lulu exclaimed excitedly.
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "Whether it's possible or not isn't up to me, it's up to your grades. You still have a few years, it's up to you what you think. I'm telling you this in advance, so if you're interested, you should know what to do."
Gu Yin knew that the students' grades were all pretty good and they worked very hard, especially Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang. Anyway, she would be recruiting students later, so it didn't matter who she recruited, as long as they met the requirements.
The two immediately assured each other, "We will definitely work hard! We definitely will!"
This is Gu Yin! A Nobel Prize nominee! A giant in the biomedical field, breaking all sorts of records! Who wouldn't want to work in her lab? Even if you're just a janitor, with a little effort, what you learn there could benefit you for a lifetime!
Once the news of their recruitment comes out, not only students from our own university, but also students from universities all over the country will think about applying to Qingdao University for graduate studies, taking advantage of their proximity and perhaps even getting a spot!
Wei Feng and Yu Cheng were a little envious as they started the car.
Wei Feng sighed, "Yu Cheng and I won't be able to work hard with you. We're going to join the army after graduation." This was something our families had already decided long ago.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's alright, it's all the same no matter where we fight! We'll meet at the top!"
The two men from Yucheng nodded vigorously: "We will!"
