Chapter 17 What is Candy?
When Pei Heng came in, he heard someone scolding Shen Shi, and his face looked a little surprised.
He was born with a very impactful appearance, with an upright stature. When he looked at people without any expression, he gave off a natural sense of oppression and appeared very fierce.
The two seniors were short to begin with, and the younger boy's imposingness instantly diminished when he looked at him. He felt inexplicably uneasy, and the rest of his questions got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Pei Heng ignored them and walked straight in front of Shen Shi, blocking their gazes.
I also need to see if Shen Shi is sad.
"What did they do to scold you?"
Shen Shi lowered his eyes slightly and spoke softly, "Maybe he feels that I am not worthy of being in Professor Lin's research group."
The senior student wearing glasses couldn't help but stiffen his neck when he heard this, "I'm not worthy of him in the first place."
Pei Heng glanced at him unhappily, his face expressionless.
"No one asked you."
The senior student with glasses blushed and was worried.
Why is this person so scary!
Pei Heng saw the courseware on the screen of the podium, which contained several lines of ancient characters with complex strokes.
Pei Heng stared at one of the lines, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him. He followed the unfamiliar characters and tried to pronounce a few syllables.
"Well, Ah Heng recognized it?" Shen Shi was a little surprised, then looked at Pei Heng, a gleam in his eyes, "You read it correctly."
Hearing this, Pei Heng turned his eyes away from the screen and felt confident, "It seems that I am more suitable for attending classes than them."
Senior: “…”
The two seniors were furious, but as more people came in, they didn't say anything else.
Lin Qingyuan walked in with the lecture notes in his hand, and the classroom fell silent in an instant.
Lin Qingyuan scanned the entire room and immediately saw Pei Heng sitting in the third row. His originally serious expression became subtle. He wanted to pretend that he was not excited, but failed.
He cleared his throat and began his lecture.
The voice is loud, rhythmic and full of excitement.
Pei Heng raised an eyebrow and tilted his head towards Shen Shi, "This Professor Lin, is he always so... uh, energetic?"
He couldn't find a more euphemistic word for a moment. Professor Lin sounded like he was reporting on a performance.
Chen Shi looked at Lin Qingyuan, who was speaking with great enthusiasm on the stage, and was silent for two seconds before answering in a low voice, "...It's not often like this. Today, you are here."
Pei Heng blinked, feeling a little dazed.
Xiao Pei didn't understand and thought that Shen Shi's ability to talk nonsense had improved again.
The topics that Professor Lin talks about are extremely obscure and profound, involving a lot of obscure knowledge.
Most of the students were confused and their eyes became increasingly lost and blank.
Pei Heng listened carefully for a while at first, but Professor Lin's slow and rhythmic tone became more and more familiar, as if he had heard it thousands of times somewhere.
Gradually, Pei Heng's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.
When talking about a key research difficulty, Lin Qingyuan habitually stopped to ask questions.
He glanced at the audience and was about to call on someone to answer.
"professor!"
The bespectacled senior sitting in the back row seized the opportunity and deliberately said loudly, "Since that first-year undergraduate Pei from the front row dared to attend the class, why not ask him to answer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other students looked at Pei Heng who was about to fall asleep and were all startled.
It’s over, it’s over. This is a difficult question that even graduate students may not be able to answer.
Professor Lin called on me in public to answer this difficult question that was beyond the syllabus, and I dozed off right in the middle of it...
Professor Lin must have scolded him like a sieve.
Lin Qingyuan cleared his throat and stood up straighter. "Mr. Pei from the third row, what are your thoughts on the question just now?"
Pei Heng's clothes were suddenly pulled, and he turned to look at Shen Shi, then he woke up instantly.
He tilted his head in confusion, followed Shen Shi's gaze towards the podium, and met Lin Qingyuan's eyes.
Some vague images suddenly flashed through my mind.
"I don't know. This question is too difficult."
The classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Some senior students even hissed, thinking that Pei Heng was finished.
Everyone knows that Professor Lin hates students who say it’s too difficult, they don’t know, or they don’t remember without thinking.
Lin Qingyuan looked at Pei Heng's slightly frowning expression, his eyes dazed for a moment, and he felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a lecture note, but a book on state governance.
To everyone's surprise, the usually cold Professor Lin didn't seem angry at all. He said gently, "Well... it's a bit deep."
He even nodded in understanding and said, "If you're interested after class, you can come to my office and I'll talk to you privately."
After saying that, he actually stopped asking questions and picked up the lecture notes to continue teaching.
Two seniors waiting to see the show: ???
Were they hallucinating the gentle tone just now?
This double standard is too blatant!
After Lin Qingyuan finished his speech, he turned his gaze and asked the senior student wearing glasses a more difficult question, "What do you think about this question?"
The senior was stunned for a moment, hesitating for a long time and couldn't answer a single word.
Lin Qingyuan frowned seriously, "Your foundation is not solid. Find all the relevant literature after class and write me a 3,000-word analysis report."
Senior: “…”
This was a public execution.
Pei Heng was in such a good mood that all his sleepiness disappeared.
He pulled back the fingers that were pinched by Chen Shi, glanced out the window inadvertently, and suddenly saw a dark shadow outside the window.
He was stunned for a moment, his attention was attracted, and he stared at it for another ten seconds.
The dark shadow moved again.
Pei Heng immediately scratched Shen Shi's palm and asked him to look as well, very uncertainly, "Look over there, is there a... person?"
Not sure, this is the sixth floor after all.
Shen Shi followed his gaze and his eyes twitched.
He retracted his gaze, turned the notebook screen in front of him towards Pei Heng, and said gently, "Heng, help me check if I have remembered all the notes I just took."
While Pei Heng was looking down at the screen, Shen Shi raised his hand very covertly and made a few gestures in the direction outside the window.
Don't scare His Highness. Learn modern terms first before you show up.
The black shadow: "..."
He silently retracted the half of his body that had been extended and touched his nose.
Learning modern terms is difficult, much more difficult than lurking and assassinating.
—
The lecture finally ended.
Lin Qingyuan walked up to Pei Heng, his stern face trying hard to hide his kindness. "Mr. Pei, how do you feel about this lecture? Did you gain anything from it?"
Pei Heng found the opportunity to complain and raised his chin slightly in the direction of the two seniors, being particularly protective of them.
"Some people questioned Shen Shi's qualifications to stay in the research group and even cursed him."
Lin Qingyuan frowned, looking over with obvious displeasure, "It seems you have some complaints about the person I chose?"
Really, do you know how rare it is to have the Crown Princess work in the research group!
If it weren't for the Crown Princess, would His Highness condescend to attend the lecture?
The two seniors didn't know what the hidden meaning was, and they were so scared that they quickly ran back, fearing that they would be kicked out of the research group. They apologized to Pei Heng repeatedly.
Pei Heng had a blank expression on his face. "Did you scold me?"
The two were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and turned to Shen Shi, their attitude changing 180 degrees, "Brother Shen, I'm sorry, we were talking nonsense! You deserve it, you deserve it very much."
Shen Shi's eyes were cold, and he curved his lips meaningfully, "It's okay."
Pei Heng frowned again when he saw how easy it was for Shen Shi to talk to.
Why is Shen Shi so easy to bully and suffer losses?
However, Shen Shi seemed to see through his thoughts. He gently spread Pei Heng's slightly curled fingers with his slender fingertips, squeezed into his palm, and held Pei Heng's hand tightly.
When the palms touch each other, a warm touch comes.
"Thank you, Ah Heng." Shen Shi said softly.
Pei Heng pursed his lips, remembering that Professor Lin was still beside him, and looked over.
Lin Qingyuan had his back to them and lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.
Lin Qingyuan: [Your Highness and the Crown Princess have come to class. I'm eating candy online. How happy I am.]
Yan Ke: [Master Lin, that's called 'eating sugar'. You don't understand modern fashion, do you? You need to keep up with the times.]
Shadow: [What is candy?]
Yan Ke: [Share link: Modern Internet Terminology.pdf]
