"Of course." Yun Duo nodded without hesitation, and at the same time, she secretly apologized to Zhou Linong in her heart.
After all... this was a smokescreen she released.
The puddle she mentioned was real, and the wild rice was real too, but there were no male-sterile plants in it. This was something she and Xiao Jiu—well, Xiao Jiu—had already confirmed.
Although she didn't know why Xiao Jiu could tell these things, she absolutely believed Xiao Jiu's words.
Meanwhile, seeing Zhou Linong's anxious look, Yun Duo also felt that she should use Xiao Jiu's abilities to help Dr. Zhou find the male-sterile wild rice he wanted.
In which world she once lived, the old man found her, and later others found her too, so this world must also exist.
With Xiao Jiu around, finding these things is much easier for her than for that old man back then.
Yun Duo quickly drew the sketch Zhou Linong asked for, and then looked at Zhou Linong and asked, "Teacher, are you going to my home in the countryside to find the wild rice I just mentioned?"
Zhou Linong carefully folded the sketch Yun Duo had drawn for him and put it in his shirt pocket. Then he nodded at Yun Duo and continued, "So, Teacher has a second favor to ask of you."
The clouds obediently adopted a "listening attentively" expression.
Zhou Linong looked at Yun Duo and continued, "The teacher wants to end our class early today. Yun Duo, can you study on your own for the rest of the time?"
Yun Duo nodded obediently again, but her face showed a hesitant expression.
Although Zhou Linong was very anxious, his information came from Yun Duo, who had genuinely helped him. Moreover, he felt a strong sense of respect for Yun Duo, a student who was quite young. So, seeing that Yun Duo clearly had something to say to him, Zhou Linong suppressed his urgency and asked Yun Duo, "Yun Duo, is there anything else?"
Yun Duo nodded, and said to Zhou Linong somewhat 'embarrassed', "Teacher, you didn't seem to answer my question just now. I don't know if there was something wrong with my question, or... it must be something wrong with my question, right? Teacher, could you point out where the problem was?"
Listening to the tongue-twister-like words from the clouds, Zhou Linong didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all… he got excited as soon as he heard about wild rice, completely ignoring Yun Duo’s problem. Whether considering his current role as Yun Duo’s tutor or the inspiration and help Yun Duo gave him, it seemed very wrong and was his fault.
In Chinese parlance, his behavior could be described as dereliction of duty and betrayal.
This made him feel quite ashamed, and he couldn't help but want to make up for his mistake. So, despite his anxiety, Zhou Linong calmed down and looked at Yun Duo, saying, "I'm sorry, Yun Duo, I just overlooked your question. Could you repeat it? If you can answer it, I'll answer it for you now."
Yun Duo immediately put on a smiling face, looked at Zhou Linong, shook her head, and said crisply, "It's okay, teacher, I'll just repeat the question again."
