The filming of "Heart Signal" is progressing quickly. Because the script is relatively realistic, the filming difficulty is not too high, and there are few takes.
Day after day, the plot that Ye Chu had been eagerly anticipating finally arrived: He Rou was about to expose Xu Ri Dong Sheng's true identity.
[Private Chat] Rising Sun: Bandit, join the team.
[Private Message] Add More Sugar: Received, that's all!
He Rou applied to join the team without hesitation. It was still a team of five, but only the captain and she were in it. Xu Ri Dong Sheng's cultivation was high, and killing bandits was only a matter of seconds for him. He Rou quickly collected all the bandit rewards for the day, and then, as always, she was lucky enough to get a fragment of a treasure map from the reward box.
[World] The child is mine: I'm numb to it all.
[World] I will no longer be sour.
[World] Piggy's Baby: I stood atop Qiongshan Mountain, carrying the sword that had been with me since I first entered the sect, and told myself that it was unnecessary.
[World] Professional Street Performer: Qiongshan Sect adds a new daily activity: Go to the top of Qiongshan Mountain to see the lucky players dig for treasure. Experience 0, Lemon.
After defeating the bandits, Xu Yuan took He Rou to the Confucius Temple to complete a master-disciple quest. Afterward, the two watered the "Bond of Fate Tree." Yes, you read that right, the master and disciple became bonded, although it was supposedly for the game's new exclusive romance bonuses, outfits, and dual-person actions.
[Private Chat] Add More Sugar: By the way, Master, I might be online a little late tomorrow. Let's do the master-disciple quest then.
He Rou felt a little embarrassed. Tomorrow was the last lecture her idol gave at school. She had just finished her academic paper, and she was determined to get his email address so he could see her research results. If she could get his feedback, that would be even better.
Therefore, she had to postpone her usual daily mentor-apprentice time. Between the expert and her master, He Rou decisively chose the former, after all, the expert was a real person in front of her, while the master only existed in the game.
[Private Chat] Rising Sun: Perfect timing, I also have some things to do tomorrow, so let's do the mission tomorrow night.
"Phew~ thank goodness." He Rou breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still a little worried that the other person might be angry about it.
"What's wrong?" Guan Fei and her two other roommates came over and saw the sunrise on He Rou's phone screen. Guan Fei was helping He Rou, who was offline, finish the rest of her daily tasks.
"That's great! A pro can carry you through the daily tasks, you can just lie back and relax," a roommate said enviously.
"Ah, I also want to be carried by a powerful figure!"
"Wander the World!" Guan Fei slapped each of them lightly on the back: "I've shown you, half of the big shots on the list don't have a romantic partner, and several of them like Wander the World. Don't hesitate, just go for it."
"What is all this nonsense? Guan Fei, don't corrupt the children." He Rou said to Guan Fei with a smile, then took out some snacks from the cabinet and distributed them to them: "Would someone like to come with me to a lecture tomorrow?"
The three pairs of claws reaching for the snacks suddenly stopped.
"bribe?"
"trap?"
"No, I don't want it!"
He Rou sighed helplessly, "Alright then, I'll go by myself. You guys can divide these up. I'm feeling a bit feverish and I'm not eating snacks lately."
Guan Fei reached out a small hand to pat her head, and took the snack bag with her other hand: "Don't worry, our spirit is with you. The snacks represent your heart. As long as the snacks are here, we are here."
"Ha, is this what women are like?" He Rou looked at the three furry heads huddled together sharing snacks and felt a pang of sadness.
This feeling lasted until she entered the venue where the speech was being held.
She arrived early and sat in the front row, surrounded by other people who had also arrived early and were waiting. Neatly arranging her notebook and black pen on the table, He Rou finally saw the master. He was dressed in an elegant black suit, his long legs striding confidently onto the stage.
He Rou was completely absorbed in the two-hour lecture, taking copious notes. Then, as she watched the lecturer bow and leave, she quickly packed her things and followed him.
"Um, excuse me, Professor Xu, no, Professor Xu, wait a minute."
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yuan paused for a moment and then stopped in his tracks.
"Professor Xu!" He Rou looked at the person in front of her with shining eyes: "Um, I wanted to ask if you could take a look at my thesis. I hope to get some advice from you!"
Her gaze was sincere and her tone firm; she looked like the kind of child who was full of thirst for knowledge.
"For the thesis, you should consult your advisor."
"How indifferent the expert is!" He Rou swallowed hard. "It's like this, I've already shown it to my mentor, and he suggested I give this speech."
Who is your advisor?
"Professor Fang Guijin, the professor said that some of the viewpoints I put forward in my paper are quite novel, so he told me that I could attend your lecture. I thought that I might be able to get some advice from you."
Xu Yuan nodded: "Okay, just send me the paper later."
He Rou's eyes widened, and she looked at him with surprise and delight: "Then, Professor, what is your email address?"
"..." Xu Yuan was silent for a moment. He was used to writing his email address on the prepared documents or materials, and he did not memorize it. However, he did not bring any materials or documents to this speech, so he couldn't remember his email address for a moment.
"Let's use WeChat. I'll send it to your email address later."
"Ah, okay!" He Rou took out her phone to scan Xu Yuan's QR code. With a "beep", the two people present froze.
After a long while, He Rou cautiously asked, "Master...?"
Xu Yuan also came to his senses. He pursed his lips and looked at He Rou with an unprecedentedly serious expression, but didn't say a word. Cold sweat trickled down He Rou's back. She was afraid that she might be silenced.
"I'll tell you my email later." Putting away his phone, Xu Yuan turned and left with a tense expression. He Rou was completely lost and didn't notice his slightly stiff back as he left.
Back in the dormitory, He Rou slumped onto the table, looking half-dead, which caught Guan Fei's attention.
"What's wrong? Didn't you see the expert? Or are you extremely disappointed in the expert?"
He Rou shook her head weakly: "No, it's me who might be finished."
"ha?"
He Rou tried to cheer herself up and pulled Guan Fei to the balcony to whisper: "No matter what you hear, don't laugh, okay?"
"Can."
Two minutes later, an extremely exaggerated burst of laughter erupted from the balcony.
"You said you wouldn't smile."
Guan Fei didn't care about He Rou's flushed face: "Hahaha, so you two met up without realizing it. This is the first time I've ever met someone in person! Hahaha, and with a great professor, wow! How much is the news that the number one player on the server is actually a meticulous professor worth? Hahaha, I'm just kidding, I'll keep it a secret, I swear."
He Rou stormed off the balcony. Her phone was still on the table. Maybe it wasn't too late to explain?
I unlocked my phone and saw a message from WeChat.
