Chapter 33 Chapter 33
Zheng Ying didn't take this as a joke.
His mind worked very quickly, and he immediately connected this matter with some gossip the teacher had said recently.
Professor Zhou has been eating boxed lunches every day recently, and his appetite is much better than before.
She no longer needs Zheng Ying to buy her meals. Zheng Ying went to see her yesterday, and the professor was in particularly good spirits.
"Xiao Zheng, don't worry about me. I'm doing fine lately. I feel like my anorexia is gone, and I enjoy my meals."
Other teachers in the same office also said so.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou has been eating well and sleeping well lately. He comes to the office every day with more energy than us."
Zheng Ying knew his mentor's health condition and was particularly relieved when he heard this. His impression of this boxed lunch shop also improved a lot, and he memorized the shop.
In this situation, when he heard Sun Dongfang say this, he immediately connected the two abnormalities together.
Is there something fishy about this lunch and dinner box?
He couldn't help but frown.
Professor Zhou Fang is old and cannot withstand the stimulation of drugs. If this lunch box really contains some forced stimulant ingredients, it will only deplete people's vitality and make the professor's body even more depleted.
Zheng Ying would never allow this to happen.
He stopped and looked at the junior student beside him.
"I suddenly remembered that I haven't had lunch today. Can you go buy me some?"
He thrust five dollars into my hand and said, "I want the lunch box you mentioned. Sorry for bothering you. I'll go to the lab and wait for you."
Sun Dongfang didn't think much about it.
Lunch Sister's food is always in short supply. He ate early today and woke up from his nap just after one o'clock. If he rushes over now, he might still be able to buy some.
"Senior, I'll go now. If the lunch boxes are sold out, I'll buy you the burrito from next door. That one is delicious too."
Zheng Ying did not refuse. He waited until Sun Dongfang ran away before he showed a serious expression.
Hopefully, things won't be as bad as he thinks.
In the small cafeteria, at one o'clock, there were still scattered students eating in the cafeteria.
Sun Dongfang ran here panting, and saw several people gathered in front of He Tingting's stall, and he felt relieved instantly.
Looks like it's not sold out yet.
"Lunch sister, I want a clay pot chicken."
He and He Tingting were quite familiar with each other. When she looked up and saw him coming again, He Tingting asked curiously.
"Aren't you full with one portion?"
Sun Dongfang scratched his cheek embarrassedly.
"No, I bought it for my senior."
He Tingting smiled and said, "There's only one left. If you come any later, it will be gone."
"That's great. I'd like to try the food you cooked. I can't buy it today, and I'd be hard to explain."
Sun Dongfang took the food and said one more sentence.
"My senior is so energetic. After he eats your meal, he will definitely come to buy yours in the future. He stands out in the crowd."
After hearing this description, the first person He Tingting thought of was the student wearing a white shirt.
After saying this, Sun Dongfang left in a hurry.
After he left, He Tingting heard the system ring.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise and took a quick look.
This classmate doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, so how could he trigger the task?
[Getting over the storm of doubt.]
The task was only six short words, but it made He Tingting frown.
Is anyone doubting her?
Is that the classmate who just left?
He Tingting quickly realized that it should be the senior that Sun Dongfang was referring to.
She knew in her heart that the effects of the ingredients in the blind box were probably discovered.
After He Tingting discovered this, she ate food drawn from the blind box for every meal, for the sake of experimental effect, so as to prevent the food supplement from being too "effective" and attracting attention.
She eats a lot every day, but after observing her for a period of time, no significant effects were found.
Apart from enhancing metabolism and making her body stronger, there seems to be nothing special about it.
Can such an effect also attract people's attention?
He Tingting frowned and prepared herself quietly in her heart.
On the other side, Sun Dongfang ran quickly to the laboratory.
He was holding food in his hands and was afraid of the cold, so he used his clothes to block the wind.
"Senior, I brought the food!"
There are regulations in the laboratory that prohibit eating and drinking inside. Sun Dongfang stopped outside the room and called Zheng Ying.
"Put it outside first."
Once in the laboratory, Zheng Ying becomes extremely serious.
Sun Dongfang was afraid that someone else would touch the meal, so he kept the bag and put the meal inside.
"Senior, I put it in my bag. Remember to eat it when you take a break."
After saying that, he went straight into the laboratory.
Only after finishing the work at hand did Zheng Ying remember about dinner.
He pulled himself away from the concentration of the experiment and put away the report he had just written.
"Dongfang, I'm leaving now. Please finish the experiment and give me the report later."
After saying that, Zheng Ying left the laboratory early.
He was Zhou Fang's most respected student, and Professor Zhou took him to visit and study in other professors' laboratories.
Zheng Ying was deeply impressed that there was a Professor Li in the neighboring Linjiang University whose laboratory could detect poisons.
He flipped through the small notebook he carried with him, found the professor's phone number, and went to a nearby public telephone booth to call him.
Professor Li and Professor Zhou have been friends for many years.
Occasionally, they would have dinner together with their students.
After hearing Zheng Ying's request, he agreed readily.
"Send the stuff here. I'm in the lab right now. The results will be out in two or three days."
This matter concerns the health of an old friend, and Professor Li takes it very seriously.
"Tell Lao Zhou to stop eating that meal in the next two days. It won't be too late to eat it after the results come out if there's no problem."
Professor Li knew Zhou Fang's health condition well and was aware of her anorexia. It was not easy to find a chef who suited her taste, and he very much hoped that this was just a misunderstanding.
"Don't spread this out first. What if their food is okay? Don't let it affect their reputation."
Zheng Ying happened to think the same.
"I know, Mr. Li. I'll go to your office now."
He Tingting didn't know that someone had already sent her vegetables for inspection.
But she knew that something would go wrong recently because of this incident. In the afternoon, she sat alone in the kitchen washing vegetables, thinking about what to do.
After a long time, she came up with a desperate solution.
Instead of waiting for trouble to happen, she might as well take the initiative to solve the source.
He Tingting's heart couldn't help but pound as she thought about this.
She had met the principal once and had a preliminary impression of him.
These past two days, while doing business in the cafeteria and chatting with others, I also talked about this principal.
He is an open-minded principal who knows how to listen to opinions, and he has a good reputation among students and staff.
The bad things He Tingting occasionally heard about him were all about him being too controlling and interfering in everything.
If he is really as the rumors say, he should be a trustworthy person.
To take a step back, even if the rumors are false, after knowing such an outrageous thing, people will consider practical issues from the perspective of interests.
He Tingting thought about several possibilities and after confirming that she could accept the worst outcome, she decided to take the initiative.
Taking advantage of the afternoon's free time, she went to the principal's office.
The principal was sitting in his office reading a red-headed document. When the door opened, he looked up in confusion.
"Come in."
Seeing He Tingting come in, he became even more confused.
He put away the documents in his hand, took off his glasses, and asked with a polite smile.
"Xiao He, what's wrong with you?"
He Tingting closed the door and sat down opposite the principal with a serious face.
"I have something important to tell you."
The principal's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He tried to recall He Tingting's information in his mind, but after a few seconds, he still couldn't remember any of her dark history.
But he still didn't dare to take it lightly because of the confession that sounded like surrendering himself to the authorities.
So he also put on a serious face and said, "You say."
When He Tingting escaped truthfully, his expression changed from serious to weird.
Finally, it freezes on a somewhat funny smile.
"Xiao He, if you encountered something, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to make up these stories to exaggerate the facts. I've tasted your cooking and it's indeed delicious. But if you say it's related to something unnatural, then I don't believe it. Could it be that your cucumbers and potatoes fell from the sky?"
He Tingting muttered in her heart.
Although it didn't fall from the sky, taking it out of the system is almost the same as falling from the sky.
The principal didn't believe it, she had expected it when she came.
If you tell anyone about this, they will be skeptical at first.
She had already thought of a way to prove it.
After the principal's question, He Tingting didn't say a word of rebuttal, but just glanced at the principal indifferently.
"Please wait a moment, I will prove it to you now."
While speaking, she waved her hand in front of the principal, and in the blink of an eye, she took out a big watermelon.
This watermelon is bigger than a human head. He Tingting is a slender girl and there is absolutely no place on her body to hide the watermelon. So where did she get the watermelon from?
Could it be that the nonsense she just said was true?
The principal was shocked.
His face turned pale, and his mind was full of weird thoughts.
He Tingting also noticed that he was frightened and took the watermelon back.
"Principal, you should believe what I say now, right?"
He did believe it.
"I know about this matter. I will report it to my superiors. You go back first, Xiao He. I will talk to you later."
The principal pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to sort out the thoughts in his mind.
"By the way, keep that watermelon you had earlier. You said it came from the same source as those ingredients, right? I'm going to send it for inspection."
He Tingting took out the watermelon again and placed it on the principal's desk with a smile.
"Excuse me, Principal. I really don't know who to talk to about this matter, so I can only tell you one thing. Don't worry, these dishes are absolutely fine. I even eat them every day."
There is no evidence to support this kind of thing. He Tingting knew that the principal would definitely verify it.
But she still has to say what she needs to say, and she must have the attitude.
After hearing her words, the principal's expression improved a little.
"Okay, I understand."
