Hearing Yu Tiantian ask him first if she could help, instead of saying what kind of help she could offer, Xu Zhe felt inexplicably wary.
Although the investigation by Si Xingzhu has not yet yielded results, Liang Shaojie's attitude towards her has made Xu Zhe somewhat wary of her.
After all, Xu Zhe knew far more about the Liang siblings than he did about Yu Tiantian.
Liang Shaojie is not an unreasonable person who arbitrarily takes his anger out on others or dislikes them.
"You're going to study abroad, you must be very busy. If you really don't have time, then forget it."
Yu Tiantian turned her head to look out the window, her eyes revealing her loneliness.
Her demeanor was completely different from her usual self, which made Xu Zhe uneasy and start to wonder if he was being petty again.
"What's up? Let me see if I can find some time."
Yu Tiantian turned her head and smiled at Xu Zhe: "I signed up for the Chemistry Department's science popularization activity, which is to go to rural primary schools to give chemistry science popularization to older students."
Xu Zhe was slightly surprised. He never expected that the aloof and arrogant young lady who seemed to be above worldly affairs would actually participate in a science popularization public welfare activity.
Yu Tiantian seemed to be able to see through her heart and explained, "It's all because of my dad. He wanted to do some positive publicity for the group and insisted that I participate in school charity work."
"The science popularization team is leaving tomorrow, but in my current state, I really don't have the energy to do any of that."
She was indeed not in good condition, and Xu Zhe felt it was too much to ask her to immediately be energetic and do science popularization for the students.
How many days will you be gone?
Popular science activities are not unfamiliar to chemistry majors. Xu Zhe considered it for a moment and decided that if it didn't take long, she could go in her place.
"It'll only take half a day. We'll leave for the township primary school tomorrow morning and be back by noon."
"Okay." Xu Zhe readily agreed, since he didn't have anything planned for tomorrow anyway.
A hint of relief finally appeared on Yu Tiantian's face.
The next morning, Xu Zhe went to call Si Xingzhu to go out together. Looking at her empty room, Si Xingzhu wasn't there?
“Miss Zhe, Si Xingzhu didn’t come back last night,” the bodyguard who lived next door told her.
"Not back?" Xu Zhe frowned slightly.
She asked this person to investigate two names related to Yu Tiantian, but after three days of investigation, there was still no reply, and he even stopped coming home at night.
The bodyguard asked, "Miss Zhe, would you like me to make a phone call for you?"
"No."
Xu Zhe thought for a moment, since he was just going to do campus science popularization, there shouldn't be any problems, so he went to the agreed meeting place alone.
At the north gate of Nancheng University, I thought there would be a large group of volunteers, but it turned out there were only three people including Xu Zhe.
The other two are Wei Ze, the lab instructor, and Yao Zhiyuan, the former class monitor.
Wei Ze should have received the information about Yu Tiantian's replacement in advance, so he greeted Xu Zhe and asked her to come over.
Yao Zhiyuan was greatly surprised, and he couldn't hide the astonishment and embarrassment on his face.
He was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Zhe had dropped out of school. Later, when he never saw Xu Zhe in class again, the huge weight on his heart finally lifted.
Xu Zhe was like a dark cloud hanging over his head; as long as she existed, he could never look up.
Finally, the dark clouds drifted away on their own, and Yao Zhiyuan regained his spirits, actively participating in school activities and science popularization public welfare, which he could then include as social practice on his resume during future internships.
Unexpectedly, the dark clouds drifted back inexplicably, and he felt that the color of his life had dimmed again.
Yao Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something and looked around Xu Zhe warily.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Si Xingzhu.
That monstrous bandit was practically inhuman. She tossed him around like that, giving him a real ordeal. It caused him nightmares for several nights in a row, and he still suffers from neurasthenia and insomnia.
It's good that she didn't come. Xu Zhe, just bear with it for a while and it will pass!
"Come on, get in my car," Wei Ze said to his two classmates, then got into the driver's seat.
Seeing Yao Zhiyuan sit in the back seat first, Xu Zhe hesitated for a moment before walking over to the passenger seat and getting in. Sitting next to his teacher was better than sitting next to this guy.
She settled into the passenger seat and closed the door, but Wei Ze did not start the car immediately.
"Seatbelt," he reminded him.
Xu Zhe paused for a moment before realizing what was happening and reaching for her seatbelt. She usually sat in the back and hadn't developed the habit of wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat.
Wei Ze smiled, reached out to help her straighten the tangled seatbelt, and fastened the buckle before starting the car.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a pair of eyes were watching their every move from not far away. Seeing Wei Ze's car start, a silver-gray sedan also began to run.
The car drove towards the township school.
"Xu Zhe, have you chosen a new school yet?" Wei Ze broke the silence in the car; it was a bit awkward that no one had spoken the whole way.
“I’ll go to language school first,” Xu Zhe replied.
In fact, Xu Zhengxi had already found a good school for her; the chemistry program at that university was ranked among the top in the world.
If it weren't for Yao Zhiyuan's presence, she would have really wanted to discuss school matters with Teacher Wei.
Wei Ze then talked about his experiences studying abroad and shared his survival tips with Xu Zhe on how to survive among foreigners. The three of them soon arrived at the township primary school.
The school had someone at the entrance to greet them and take them to the large lecture hall where they would have their class later.
The three teachers and students had no time to rest and immediately began preparing experimental materials.
Xu Zhe thought this was a good idea, as it allowed him to spend his time on his work and avoid the awkwardness of facing Yao Zhiyuan face-to-face.
As soon as he was ready, the large classroom was filled with students. Wei Ze checked the time and began his lecture.
Xu Zhe and Yao Zhiyuan, as teaching assistants, would occasionally help with the experimental procedures and provide guidance to students.
Primary school students have a strong thirst for knowledge, and the overall classroom atmosphere is very pleasant.
Xu Zhe was glad he agreed to help Yu Tiantian with this favor, so that he could have one more happy experience before leaving this place.
At the same time, Si Xingzhu rushed back to the Xu residence from outside.
"Aunt Lin, where's Xu Zhe?" She couldn't find him in the room, so she hurriedly went to ask.
Aunt Lin: "Miss Zhe went to school early this morning."
"Go to school?! She's already dropped out, what would she do at school?!"
Aunt Lin was startled by Si Xingzhu's hurried appearance: "She said she was going to help a classmate, but she didn't say what it was about."
"Classmate?! Which classmate?!" Si Xingzhu grabbed Aunt Lin's arm, her grip tightening involuntarily.
Aunt Lin was startled by her reaction and forgot to break free: "Which classmate? Miss Zhe didn't say. Has something happened?!"
"Oh dear!" Si Xingzhu shook off Aunt Lin's arm and hurriedly took out her phone to make a call. "Please don't let it be that Yu Tiantian!"
Xu Zhe's call went through, but he didn't answer. Si Xingzhu, suppressing her anger, tried calling several more times, but still no one answered.
"It's all over! It's all over!" she shouted as she ran outside, sweat dripping from her forehead all the way.
Aunt Lin was also flustered by her and hurriedly called Butler Zhou to report.
Although Si Xingzhu didn't tell her anything specific, anything concerning Miss Zhe was of paramount importance! The more Butler Zhou knew, the more forces would be there to protect her young master's precious daughter!
