"arrive."
He Jing stopped their conversation when she saw the gate of University A.
He Yi stopped and looked up in the direction of her gaze, a sense of loss rising within him.
So we've arrived...
He hasn't had a proper conversation with anyone in a long time, burying himself in his homework all day, hoping to get into his dream university.
—It's not University A.
He was distracted and saw He Jing asking the gatekeeper of A University about He Yuan's location. He Yuan was probably a prominent figure at A University, so the guard easily figured out who He Jing was talking about and gave her directions.
He Jing noted down the location.
Building C, Chemistry Building, Basement 3.
He Jing couldn't remember which department He Yuan was in or what his major was, but he studied chips, which should be in the field of physics. Being assigned to the basement of the chemistry building seemed to indicate that his situation was not optimistic.
The two walked on like that, suddenly falling silent.
Seeing He Jing's furrowed brows, He Yi couldn't help but say, "Big brother has always been more hardworking than others since he was a child, and he can solve problems quickly when he encounters them. You don't need to think too badly about things."
He Jing was not comforted, and still turned to him with a smile: "Fifth Brother is right, let's go and take a look first."
He Yi: "...Hmm."
Soon, the two found Building C, the chemistry building, and successfully reached the third basement level.
University A is the best university in City A, but I never expected that there would be such dilapidated buildings on campus. Due to years of neglect, the paint on the walls is severely peeling off, and the handrails on the stairs are rusty.
There was construction going on directly opposite the C chemistry building. I asked some students passing by and learned that the school was planning to build a new chemistry building and demolish this one.
In other words, did the world-shaking chip that He Yuan was about to develop come from such a dilapidated place?
He Jing couldn't believe it, but with a heavy heart, she pressed the button for the third basement level of the elevator.
The elevator swayed precariously as it descended. As soon as the doors opened, she smelled a cold, damp, musty odor, even worse than the sink in the He family's kitchen. A narrow corridor and several old iron doors embedded in the walls on both sides came into view.
It seemed that a water pipe upstairs had burst, water was dripping from the ceiling, and the hallway floor was wet and slippery, with a puddle of water.
With a "ding," the door of a nearby elevator opened, and two young men could be heard complaining as they carried a heavy piece of equipment out of the elevator.
"The funding application failed again. The school is so stingy! With this, they still expect research results? Dream on."
"Hey, our Q3 lab group is nothing like the Q2 lab group. We have the son of a high-ranking school leader in our group, and he can have whatever he wants."
"It's thanks to Senior He Yuan's perseverance that this project could have been completed long ago."
"But it's true that we haven't achieved anything. We should probably disband after a while. That would be good, so we don't have to run to this ghost-infested basement every day."
"Who can argue with that?"
...
The two young men passed by He Jing and He Yi, carrying large and heavy equipment that looked like some kind of laboratory table.
He Jing immediately called out to them, "Wait a minute, seniors, is He Yuan here?"
The sudden shout startled the two young men, who both looked at He Jing with a look of amazement in their eyes.
What a beautiful junior!
“Yes, Senior He Yuan is here. He’s probably doing an experiment in the lab right now,” the taller one quickly replied in a friendly tone.
He Jing smiled gently: "I'm his sister, may I go with the two seniors? And also..."
She also wanted to find out about He Yuan's recent situation.
P.S.: Updating 15 chapters a day would require my hands to break! My period just ended, and I'm in pain every day I can. I'll try to get back into the swing of things tomorrow with 5 chapters, and 10,000 chapters the day after. Goodnight, my darlings, sweet dreams~
