Chapter 170: General Gu secretly vying for favor
"That's possible. I was saying that General Gu must be with the military academy. How could it be possible..."
"Exactly...wait?! Why is he standing on the podium?!"
"Knock! Unbelievable?! Those people in the military academy must be so jealous of us! Hahahaha!"
Dean Zhou walked to the microphone, tapped it twice, and began to speak:
"Dear students, in this refreshing autumn season, we stand at the starting point and are about to embark on a special class that will "step out of the textbooks and into the world..."
"For this outdoor study tour, we've chosen a brand new location, where there's a wide range of flora and information closest to nature... And this time, under the protection of General Gu, we'll embark on a true journey into nature, into plants, and into exploring them."
"Oh my god... I was wondering why I couldn't find the address on the notice. Turns out it's under the jurisdiction of the military!"
“Oh my god, this trip was worth it!”
"Yes! That Chongshan Garden is said to have never been open to the public and has always been kept in its most pristine state!"
One of the girls said hesitantly, "Will that be dangerous?"
"No way? We have General Gu here! Besides, the academy will definitely not agree if there is any danger."
Everyone nodded, secretly raised their smart computers to take pictures, and then posted them on Star Network. They were so envious!
The news that Gu Zheng was in the Botanical Academy spread quickly. The people guarding the gate of the military academy thought it was a joke at first, until the students of the Botanical Academy sent out photos one after another, and the crowd fell silent.
"Is it too late to rush over now?"
"The latest news is that they set off five minutes ago..."
"Departed five minutes ago? They're only sending it out now?! Scheming! These scheming ordinary humans!!"
Five minutes ago, He Jing found Qi Chaoli in the crowd, carrying a bag of snacks. "Hello, Qi, thank you for your notes these past two days."
"You're welcome. You've already thanked me on the smart computer." The dark blue-haired boy's eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping wings of a butterfly. The cat's nature made He Jing itchy.
"It's more appropriate to thank you in person. Here are some homemade snacks for you to eat on the way."
The boy was silent for two seconds, then raised his hand to take it and said, "Thank you."
He Jing smiled and shook his head, "Then I'll leave first."
"etc!"
"Um?"
He Jing turned around, soft hair brushing against her arm. Qi Chaoli's fingers trembled, "I applied to join Professor Zhou's research group, and it's been approved."
"Wow!" He Jing's eyes lit up, and his smile was a little intimate. "Then we will do research together in the future!"
"Um!"
“Are you also interested in tea trees?”
"Well, I've read your project proposal, and I think it has a lot of areas worth exploring and researching. I've found some information on one area, and I'd like to discuss it with you."
"Sure! Then we'll get on the next spaceship."
"good."
"Xiao He, let's go." Gu Zheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood between the two of them.
Oh! Yes! She wants to board Gu Zheng’s spaceship… What should I do…
As if he had noticed He Jing's hesitation, Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, then extended an invitation to the person who had appeared out of nowhere in front of him, "Xiao He, take my spaceship. If you're in a hurry, why not come along?"
"Okay, thank you, General Gu."
“…”
Thanks so much? Didn't I tell you to rush? Why rush an experiment that hasn't even started yet?!
Gu Zheng's mouth curled into a straight line, and he raised his hand to pick up the backpack in He Jing's hand, "Let's go."
Qi Chaoli followed with an expressionless face.
The spaceship opened and Yang Ziang was keenly aware of something. He glanced at Qi Chaoli and asked, "Hello? Xiaohe's classmate?"
"Well, hello."
Wow, so cool, even cooler than his captain.
"Why didn't I see you at Gu's house the past two days?"
This question seemed difficult to explain, and Qi Chaoli remained silent.
He Jing explained, "Although we are in the same department, it doesn't mean we are in the same class. He probably didn't know Chen Shuang and the others were here."
Yang Ziang nodded and wanted to ask another question.
"It's almost time, go lead the team."
"Okay, Captain, I'm leaving now, Xiaohe!"
"Yeah! Bye~ Be safe!"
"Okay!"
He Jing waved his hand and sat down on the sofa with Qi Chaoli. He didn't know what to say for a moment... The scene fell into an awkward silence.
Not only was Gu Zheng in the spaceship, but there were also several people they had seen before coming in and out. Everyone was doing their own thing in an orderly manner, which made the two of them seem even more embarrassed.
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the room, he was stopped by one of his men to check the control information. After everything was done, he thought the two of them would have a good chat, but unexpectedly, there was silence.
Gu Zheng felt relieved, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "What would you like to drink, Qi?"
Qi Chaoli raised his eyelids, then silently looked away, "Thank you, water will be fine."
Gu Zheng nodded, poured two glasses of water and brought them over, placing the one with honey next to He Jing. "You guys can chat. If you find it too noisy here, you can go to the third room on the right side of the corridor. It's a small reception room. There's no one there."
Forget it! This is already awkward enough! Wouldn't it be even more awkward if we were alone together?
He Jing had an embarrassed look on his face and waved his hands repeatedly, "Okay, go get busy!"
"Well, message me if you have anything."
"Hmmmm!"
Seeing that the two of them really had no intention of changing places, Gu Zheng went to the cockpit with peace of mind.
"General Gu cares about you very much."
"Hmm?" Qi Chaoli's words startled He Jing, who was stunned for a moment. "Hmm... Gu Zheng is a very good person. The rumors outside are all false."
"Um."
Silence is Cambridge tonight, and embarrassment is the problem before us.
"Um...what's the problem you're talking about?"
Qi Chaoli picked up the schoolbag beside him and took out a tablet from it. "I sorted out some questions and some information..."
Document after document was taken out, and Qi Chaoli's schoolbag soon became empty.
He Jing looked at him in surprise, wondering if he really only brought books in his schoolbag?
He Jing thought so and asked.
Qi Chaoli opened his tablet and nodded calmly, "The school provides meals."
"All right……"
Then He Jing felt the long-lost atmosphere of internal competition. Qi Chaoli's questions were sharp and precise, and one after another forced He Jing to devote himself wholeheartedly.
They were talking back and forth, frowning and smiling, both of them were extremely focused. Gu Zheng came out several times to add tea, water and snacks for them, but failed to attract their attention.
It was rare to see the captain being ignored. The other people in military uniforms smiled secretly. Ji Wendong and Ye Qing looked at each other and secretly sent a message to Zheng Yu.
Gu Zheng glanced at them expressionlessly and returned to the cockpit feeling a little depressed.
Zheng Yu, who was in the driver's seat, hurriedly put away his intelligent computer. He tried to hold back, but in the end, he couldn't help it: "Captain, I want to eat peeled pomelo too."
"Oh."
