Gu Fan was caught off guard by He Wanzhou's sudden question.
A friend request? When? How come he didn't know?
Teacher He, standing to the side, was also somewhat puzzled. Had the younger sister really added Gu Fan on WeChat? Could it be that Gu Fan hadn't agreed?
For a moment, his gaze toward the two of them became somewhat strange.
Seeing Gu Fan's bewildered expression, He Wanzhou frowned slightly: "You...don't know?"
Gu Fan shook his head innocently and said, "I don't know!"
He Wanzhou:...
She fell silent and glanced at her older brother.
The latter received the signal, cleared his throat, and explained, "Well, it's like this, I was thinking that you two would be working together in the future, so I had my sister add you on WeChat. Didn't you agree?"
Gu Fan shook his head, took out his phone, opened WeChat, and clicked on New Friends.
"Huh? There really is one?"
Upon seeing a user with the nickname "A Bowl of Porridge," Gu Fan knew it was He Wanzhou herself.
At that moment, two pairs of eyes fell on him.
"Um... I might have ignored it as an advertisement or something." Gu Fan didn't know how to explain.
He genuinely had no recollection of it, and recently he'd been focused on the competition and hadn't paid attention to these things. WeChat is bombarded with spam ads every day, and since he has OCD, he usually deletes those red dots.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan quickly clicked "agree".
"I've accepted your friend request. We can start chatting now."
He Wanzhou:...
She stared silently at her friend's chat interface without saying a word.
Gu Fan was also a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Teacher He spoke up: "Alright, Gu Fan, you can join us from now on. The upcoming experiments involve the chemical engineering principles you learned this semester, so it's a good opportunity to consolidate your knowledge."
Gu Fan nodded: "Okay, teacher."
"I have other things to do, you guys talk first," said Teacher He, and then left the laboratory.
He Wanzhou frowned slightly as she watched her older brother's retreating figure.
She understood that her older brother was trying to bring the two of them together.
Fortunately, there was another girl in the lab, who was also a junior and her name was Wang Jinxing.
He Wanzhou glanced at Gu Fan, who seemed lost and unsure of what to do, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Come with me."
Gu Fan obediently followed the other party.
He Wanzhou handed him a sheet of A4 paper and said, "This is the experimental principle of one of the data points. You'll be in charge of this."
Gu Fan looked at the contents of the paper with curiosity. This experiment was to determine the influencing factors of starch, and he had just learned about this last week.
"Not difficult, right?" He Wanzhou asked, raising an eyebrow.
Gu Fan shook his head: "No."
"Hmm, do you have classes this afternoon? If not, come and help out," He Wanzhou said casually.
Gu Fan thought for a moment and then said truthfully, "Um, Senior He, I have a competition this afternoon."
"Hmm? What competition?" A hint of curiosity flashed across He Wanzhou's calm eyes.
Gu Fan said, "That's right, I'm on the volleyball team, and there's a competition going on these days, so I'll be playing."
Upon hearing this, He Wanzhou understood and nodded: "Alright, then come again tomorrow."
I have no classes tomorrow afternoon... and I have a bye in the competition...
Gu Fan considered it for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
"Alright, the experiment failed. Let's pack up and go eat." He Wanzhou was a very proactive girl; she acted immediately.
Gu Fan also quickly offered his help.
After He Wanzhou left the laboratory carrying an instrument.
Wang Jinxing leaned closer and said, "Junior, you're amazing! You can actually talk to Zhouzhou for so long!"
Gu Fan was somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong with that?"
Wang Jinxing said leisurely, "Zhouzhou is known for being aloof and indifferent to everything. She has never spoken more than three sentences to a boy and is known as the aloof goddess."
Gu Fan was somewhat surprised, but it was also within his expectations.
With He Wanzhou's looks, she could easily be ranked among the school beauties. It's just unexpected that such a pretty girl would have such a strange personality.
Gu Fan shook his head, not caring.
"Hey, aren't you curious if Zhouzhou has a boyfriend?" Wang Jinxing couldn't help but ask.
Gu Fan was taken aback, and asked, puzzled, "Why would I be curious?"
Honestly, what business is it of his whether someone has a partner or not?
Wang Jinxing was a little surprised: "In our college, the number of boys who are pursuing Zhouzhou could form a reinforced company. Many people fall in love with her at first sight. What, didn't you fall for her?"
Gu Fan honestly replied, "Senior He is very beautiful, but not everyone can fall in love with someone so easily."
What's more, he has a girlfriend.
“It seems you really are something special…” Wang Jinxing nodded thoughtfully.
"What's so special about it?" Gu Fan asked, puzzled.
Wang Jinxing said earnestly, "He's incredibly handsome!"
Gu Fan: ...
Why are you speaking such blunt truths?
At this moment, He Wanzhou returned to the laboratory, and with the help of the group, they quickly cleaned the laboratory.
"They're gone."
He Wanzhou and Wang Jinxing were together, so they said goodbye to Gu Fan and left.
Gu Fan didn't linger. He went to the cafeteria to pack up his food and then returned to his dormitory.
"You're only getting back now?" Lin Jie had already finished eating and was lying in bed scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).
Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, I'll be busy from now on."
"What's going on?" Liu Qian asked curiously.
Gu Fan immediately recounted the events.
After hearing this, both Lin Jie and Liu Qian widened their eyes.
"Wow, doesn't that mean you're going to rise to prominence?" Liu Qian said enviously.
