It's truly remarkable that a college student can emerge from a small mountain village.
"Then you'll have even more responsibilities on your shoulders from now on. If there's anything you don't know or don't understand, you can come to your third sister. After all, as the class's academic representative, your role in the class is very important."
Jiang Sheng knew what Zhao Yiyan meant. After all, this era was different from later generations. Every position in the class represented a very important role.
As for later generations, even if a student in a class is elected as class monitor, the meaning of the election has changed significantly.
However, none of that has anything to do with Jiang Sheng.
After sharing the good news with her third sister, the two finished their meal and prepared to leave the cafeteria.
Just then, they saw Zhang Sicheng walking towards them, preparing to enter the cafeteria for a meal.
"Teacher Zhao, I've finally found you."
As soon as Zhang Sicheng saw Zhao Yiyan, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
As for Jiang Sheng standing next to Zhao Yiyan, he only frowned briefly before standing in front of Zhao Yiyan with an unchanged expression.
"Teacher Zhao, I thought you hadn't eaten yet. I was just about to invite you and the other students to eat together, but I didn't expect you had already eaten."
As soon as Zhang Sicheng said this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
What does that mean?
It's like he's blaming his third sister for not waiting for him to eat together. Is he crazy?
Jiang Sheng mentally criticized Zhao Yiyan, but didn't catch the other meaning in her words. Instead, he smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Zhang Sicheng.
"I'm so sorry, Teacher Zhang. I didn't tell you before I went to dinner today because I had something to talk to my brother about, so I forgot about it."
As soon as Zhao Yiyan finished speaking, Jiang Sheng stepped forward and smiled at Zhang Sicheng.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm so sorry."
Jiang Sheng scratched his head, his tone even more innocent than Zhang Sicheng's earlier.
"When I went to the lecture hall to find Third Sister, you were there too. The discussion had just ended and everyone had left. I thought you and the other teachers had gone to eat together. If I had known you were going to invite Third Sister, I wouldn't have bothered you. I'm so sorry!"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but when Zhao Yiyan heard it for the first time, she felt that something was off.
Yes, they were all in the same lecture hall researching their topics at the time.
After Jiang Sheng arrived, he introduced himself to everyone.
After the group disbanded, everyone went to eat.
But Teacher Zhang didn't tell her at all.
Now she's coming to find her again, but she doesn't even know that Teacher Zhang hasn't eaten yet.
Zhang Sicheng also felt that something was off.
The kid was clearly apologizing to him, but the way he said it made it sound like he was blaming himself.
But seeing Jiang Sheng's sincere smile and his earnest apology, Zhang Sicheng could only convince himself that he was overthinking things.
"It's alright."
Putting these thoughts out of his mind, Zhang Sicheng casually waved his hand with a faint smile on his face.
"I didn't think too much about it. After the group disbanded, I went back to study the topic and added some things that needed to be supplemented. Then I forgot about it. Teacher Zhao, please don't mind."
Zhang Sicheng made this comment as if to make amends, and Zhao Yiyan didn't think much of it. Instead, she smiled and showed more appreciation for Zhang Sicheng.
"It's alright. The research project is already finished. Professor Zhang is still working so hard. Hurry up and go in to eat. If you stay any longer, there probably won't be any food left."
Seeing Zhao Yiyan's ever-present smile, Zhang Sicheng finally felt a little better.
"Then Teacher Zhao should hurry up and get busy. After lunch, there should be research work to do in the afternoon, so we can't waste any time."
Zhao Yiyan nodded in agreement.
Only after Zhang Sicheng left did Jiang Sheng casually ask with curiosity, "Third Sister, does your group often discuss research topics together?"
"yes."
Zhao Yiyan didn't think too much about it. She walked forward side by side with Jiang Sheng and answered as she spoke.
"Actually, that's not entirely true. After all, my third sister is also a teacher at the school. When it comes to research projects like this, we're always together except when we don't have classes. In my spare time, I mostly prepare lesson plans and teach classes."
After listening to Zhao Yiyan's answer, Jiang Sheng nodded, gaining a general understanding of his third sister's recent whereabouts.
Since I spend all my free time outside of classes researching my topic, and the rest of my time preparing my thesis...
Thinking of the time when the three-section research project ended in his previous life, Jiang Sheng carefully considered the words in his mind before speaking.
"Third sister, I've noticed you've been busy with your research lately. I wonder if you'll be free next month?"
Zhao Yiyan thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded.
"My research project will probably finish by the end of this month. Next month, besides classes, I'll be spending all my free time preparing my thesis. What's up, little brother? Is there something else you need?"
As soon as Zhao Yiyan finished speaking, Jiang Sheng shook his head shyly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what you said earlier, Third Sister, that I should learn more from you during this time when I have free time, but you've been busy with your research project, so I was thinking we should wait until you're done with your work."
As he said this, Jiang Sheng's face still showed some concern.
"After all, my third sister has been so busy lately, I can't let her get exhausted because of my affairs."
"What are you saying?"
Zhao Yiyan quickly shook her head: "The research project isn't particularly urgent, but our group feels that we should finish it as soon as possible to avoid having to search for information everywhere later. So we adjusted the time a bit tighter."
"However, finding the materials isn't particularly difficult. After all, our research is nearing its end, and we won't be very busy in the later stages. Helping to tutor you, Xiaosheng, is no problem at all."
Only after hearing Zhao Yiyan's words did Jiang Sheng feel relieved.
In fact, what he just said was nothing more than a strategic retreat, which not only allowed him to test his third sister's attitude but also to confirm her upcoming time adjustments.
Having learned everything he wanted to know from his third sister, Jiang Sheng nodded, his face bearing his usual cheerful smile.
"Thank you very much, Third Sister. To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow!"
Hearing Jiang Sheng's childlike words, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but chuckle and nodded in agreement.
