The next day.

  Huo Yao had two classes in the morning and both of them were computer related, so she did not have to pay attention in class.

  Instead, she spent her time working on the Physics homework Prof Rong had given her.

  Yuan Xi looked at Huo Yao every now and then as she sat beside her. She wanted to ask Huo Yao if she understood what the teacher was teaching. The moment she saw Huo Yao taking notes attentively, she instantly swallowed her words.

  Even the top scholar was paying full attention to class and working diligently. Did a lousy student like her have a right to get distracted?

  Yuan Xi felt like she was the model student for the first time in her life after the classes ended.

  After Huo Yao was done finishing her Physics homework, she randomly inserted them into her book. Yuan Xi glanced at the stack of papers Huo Yao had just inserted inside her book. Even though she did not see the contents, she knew they were full of writing. She asked her quizzically. “Why did you take so many notes?”


  Huo Yao looked at her sideways. “Hmm? What notes?”


  Yuan Xi pointed at the papers that she had just inserted into her book. “Aren’t those the notes you have just taken for today’s computer theory lesson?”


  Huo Yao finally realized what Yuan Xi was talking about. She simply shook her head without bothering to explain. Instead, she raised her hand to check the time before stuffing her book into her backpack and said, “Let’s go eat.”


  After lunch, she had to head to the Physics department.

  “Okay. Sure.” Yuan Xi hurriedly put away her book. Before long, the two of them arrived at the canteen.

  Since the rest of the students had yet to arrive, there was not much of a queue. They managed to get their food in just a few minutes.

  Yuan Xi found a seat by the side of the canteen and sat down. Since she had a lively personality, she almost did not stop talking throughout the entire lunch break. Even though the military training had just ended and classes had barely commenced, she had already learned of all the major gossip going on in the faculty.

  Huo Yao glanced at her and smiled ambiguously. Yuan Xi resembled Meng Ying a lot.

  Yuan Xi was mid-sentence when she raised her head and saw some people walking into the canteen. The moment she saw the people who were walking in, her eyes lit up. She rapped on the table and gestured to Huo Yao to look. “See that guy? That guy is very famous in school. He is an absolute genius and is currently doing his PhD.”


  Huo Yao was not interested in geniuses, so she simply raised her head to glance. However, she froze briefly when she saw the guy Yuan Xi was talking about.

  “That’s Mu Qing. He is also taking Biology. He is quite the legend at school. I heard he has even won an international patent award.” Yuan Xi did her utmost to share the gossip with Huo Yao.

  Huo Yao glanced over before veering her eyes and continuing with her food.

  “The girl walking on Mu Qing’s left is legendary at school as well. She is from the Biology department as well and is in her second year, but she has already written her own thesis and has her own research team. Since she is very talented, all the teachers in the faculty love her,” sighed Yuan Xi.

  “Uh huh,” answered Huo Yao nonchalantly without raising her head.

  Yuan Xi kept on talking though. “Let me think. What’s her name again? I think it’s Jiang… Jiang Mingyue. Yes, that’s it.”


  Huo Yao looked at Yuan Xi strangely when she heard her bring up Jiang Mingyue.

  Her thesis was like horseshit.

  Legendary?

  Yuan Xi could not help feeling uneasy when Huo Yao stared at her. “Why are you looking at me that way?”


  Huo Yao was almost done with her food, so she put down her chopsticks and shook her head as she looked at Yuan Xi profoundly. “Nothing. I just think you… you have a great eye for people.”


  Yuan Xi went speechless.

  She had a feeling Huo Yao did not genuinely mean that.
