The night was filled with happiness. Lu Yuan held the soft and delicate Qian Duoduo in his arms. Although they slept under the covers all night, Lu Yuan still found it incredible when he woke up the next morning. This was the morning he had always dreamed of.
After having breakfast, Qian Duoduo said to Lu Yuan, "I'm going to school to fill out forms in a bit, and then I'll start preparing for the exam."
Seeing how serious she was, Lu Yuan reached out and patted her head, then kissed her forehead. He didn't disturb her further, but silently supported her.
Qian Duoduo glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still early before the time she had agreed to meet her teacher, so she wasn't in a hurry. She picked up her textbook and quickly started reading.
Lu Yuan, a top student, was puzzled when he saw Qian Duoduo flipping through the book so quickly. As Qian Duoduo closed the book and prepared to change her clothes and leave, he asked doubtfully, "Duoduo, do you really think you can pass the exam by doing this?"
Qian Duoduo nodded firmly and answered confidently, "My teacher only has me as her female apprentice. How could I fail the exam?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled helplessly, thinking to himself that this must be Qian Duoduo's unique way of learning.
The two lived near the agricultural university, and hand in hand, they strolled slowly towards the campus. Looking at the gate, Qian Duoduo felt a sense of antiquity, like she was heading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The gate was so ancient! After entering the campus, Qian Duoduo said goodbye to Lu Yuan and headed towards the agricultural science building. She was surrounded by young faces, mostly in their early twenties, full of youthful energy and collagen. Qian Duoduo's gaze fell on them; they were also sizing up this stylishly dressed woman. What was she doing here?
Lu Yuan watched Qian Duoduo walk into the school gate before turning around to go home and cook lunch. He knew very well that his Duoduo absolutely could not go hungry. He figured that without Duoduo by his side, the girl probably wouldn't eat properly, so he had to fatten her up a bit during his stay to avoid her looking too thin, as being too thin was bad for her health. He recalled the apocalypse, when resources were scarce and everyone had to rely on nutrient solutions to survive. Even in such harsh conditions, he was still able to take care of himself, entirely thanks to having a space to store food.
Qian Duoduo arrived at Professor Yuan's office and happened to meet Professor Yuan.
Professor Yuan saw her hum twice and said reproachfully, "Why are you only coming back now?"
Qian Duoduo replied with a grin, "Teacher, look what you're saying! I'll be staying here for the next six months!"
Professor Yuan walked to his seat, took a stack of forms from his drawer, placed them on the table, and said, "Fill them out quickly!"
Qian Duoduo didn't stand on ceremony. She took her things, walked to the table next to her, sat down, and picked up a pen to fill out the form carefully. Professor Yuan, who was standing to the side, watched her actions and slowly said, "This exam is really just a formality, but even so, if your score is too poor, you won't pass."
Qian Duoduo looked up at Professor Yuan and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, teacher, you have to believe in my abilities!"
Professor Yuan snorted and said irritably, "If it weren't for the patents you have, with your habit of skipping classes so often, do you think you could graduate? Dream on!"
Qian Duoduo smiled awkwardly, knowing in her heart that she had indeed been somewhat neglecting her duties in the past two years, but she believed that the initial capital accumulation was necessary. Only in this way could she have enough funds to carry out experiments, whether it was rice seed experiments or other seed experiments, all of which required a lot of financial support.
Seeing Qian Duoduo's sincere attitude, Professor Yuan didn't say anything more, after all, he had received a lot of funds from Qian Duoduo for the operation and research of the laboratory.
After Qian Duoduo finished filling out the form, she got up and handed it to Professor Yuan.
"Alright, go do what you need to do, don't get in my way," Professor Yuan said, waving his hand.
Qian Duoduo chuckled and said, "Teacher, I might go back to my hometown for a while after the exam."
Professor Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked suspiciously, "What are you up to now?"
Qian Duoduo explained with a smile, "This is a family matter! My dad says that the vegetables I used to grow in the greenhouses are getting worse with each harvest. The seeds don't seem to be as good as before, and the produce doesn't taste as good either. So I want to stay home and observe for a while."
Professor Yuan nodded in understanding after hearing Qian Duoduo's words, and then instructed, "Alright, but you have to send me an observation report every month."
Qian Duoduo readily nodded in agreement.
After leaving school, Qian Duoduo returned home in a cheerful mood. As soon as she stepped into the yard, a mouthwatering aroma of food wafted towards her. She saw Lu Yuan wearing a floral apron, smiling broadly as he busied himself in the kitchen. Seeing Qian Duoduo return, Lu Yuan immediately waved to her and said with a smile, "Come and eat quickly, or the food will get cold!"
Qian Duoduo replied cheerfully, "Okay, I'm coming right now." Then, she quickly washed her hands and sat down at the table. The two enjoyed the delicious food and chatted happily.
Qian Duoduo asked with concern, "Brother Yuan, how long do you plan to stay in Harbin this time?"
Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "About a week."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "After you leave Harbin, I will go back to my hometown of Shangzhi. My third brother and sister-in-law are coming back to prepare for their wedding, and I need to go back and help them out."
Lu Yuan glanced at Qian Duoduo with a hint of resentment, and finally said, "By then I'll probably be in the research institute's lab and won't be able to come out anymore. I'll prepare some gifts for Third Brother later, and you can help me pass them on to him."
Qian Duoduo nodded: "No problem."
After the meal, Lu Yuan very proactively cleaned up the dishes. Qian Duoduo sat on the sofa, looking at Lu Yuan's virtuous appearance and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so virtuous."
Lu Yuan smiled, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and said, "There are still many aspects of me you haven't discovered yet. After we get married, you'll slowly discover them. I can not only make soup and stir-fry dishes, but I can also make delicious noodles."
"Huh?" Qian Duoduo was surprised when she heard this and stared at Lu Yuan with wide eyes.
Seeing her shocked expression, Lu Yuan assumed she didn't believe him and immediately said as if to prove it, "My noodles are delicious."
"Ah!" Qian Duoduo's face flushed red instantly. She glared at him and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"
