  Downstairs.

  Not far away, she saw Cheng Juan’s car parked just outside the road.

  Hooking her fingers in her scarf, she walked towards the car.

  It was only a minute away, so she didn’t wear her scarf.

  Thinking of this, she only took two steps forward when a tall boy stopped in front of her. Holding a basketball, he stared at Qin Ran, his handsome face flushed and his voice agitated. “You’re Qin Ran from the first-year Physics Department’s Automation class, right? Hello, I’m Shu……”


  Qin Ran took a step back and lazily looked up. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, looking bright and arrogant, and her tone was simple and concise. “I’m not. You’ve found the wrong person.”


  She was cold and impatient.

  Turning, she directly walked towards Cheng Juan.

  Others on the side of the road already recognized her.

  Maybe it was because she was too sharp, but they only dared to look at her from a distance and not approach her.

  “Bang.”


  She closed the door of the co-pilot seat.

  The sound was rather loud.

  Sitting in the driver’s seat, Cheng Juan placed his arms on the steering wheel and glanced at her sideways. Originally looking at the boy in displeasure, he couldn’t help but laugh after seeing her cold and impatient expression.

  Qin Ran lowered her head and took out her phone. She opened the Beijing University forum for the first time.

  She originally wanted to delete the posts with her photo on the forum.

  But scrolling through it, she found no picture.

  She leaned against the car door.

  “It’s not on the forum.” Cheng Juan stopped laughing and rested his fingers on the steering wheel. He lowered his eyebrows and calmly glanced at her. “Ask your Dean if he has posted your picture on the bulletin board.”


  Qin Ran was speechless.

  She seldom went to the Physics Department headquarters and never thought of this happening……

  Cheng Juan slowly drove the car on the road, smirking slightly.

  Her face and the sharpness in it that couldn’t be concealed even through the camera lenses were so easy to recognize.

  She reached out to turn off the mobile forum page and received a call from Qin Xiuchen’s manager.

  Answering the call, she leaned against the car window and squinted. “Hello?”


  Her voice was casual.

  “Miss Qin, I called to thank you for the computer you gave me. It’s very good.” The manager straightened up subconsciously.

  He hadn’t said that he bought it from Qin Ran.

  After all…… he was afraid 2,000 yuan wasn’t enough to buy the display screen of such a computer.

  “You’re welcome.” Qin Ran put her hand on the car window, her tone unhurried.

  Already accustomed to it, the manager didn’t feel neglected and felt a little flattered even.

  Qin Ran had this kind of personality, and this was already her showing a good mood.

  “The production crew just called me. The program will be broadcasted the day after tomorrow. Are you sure you won’t open a Weibo account? Open one, and I can manage it for you,” the manager asked again.

  Taking out her earphones, Qin Ran just raised an eyebrow. “No need. Anything else?”


  “No.” The manager took the hint and said goodbye.

  Film Emperor Qin’s studio.

  He hung up, contacted the director again, and took a sip of water from the drinking fountain. “I’ve asked her for the second time, but she’s unwilling. She’ll flare up if I ask again.”


  The director was very regretful.

  “Why do you want her to open a Weibo account?” Although he also wanted her to, he didn’t feel the need to insist if she was reluctant to.

  Why was the director so persistent?

  “She’ll definitely shoot to fame after the broadcast. And the Violin……” The director thought of how Qin Ran had obtained four high-level clues that day and had shown her character despite having no character set-up for her. He vaguely said, “You’ll understand when you see it.”


  He was about to hang up.

  “Wait.” The manager confirmed the editing again. “Nothing has gone wrong with your program, right? Film Emperor Qin asked you not to edit too mythologically, just make it a little more appropriate.”


  Qin Ran was too buggy, so Qin Xiuchen was worried that the actual editing of the show would make netizens curse her, thinking that the show had set up a character for her.

  “Don’t worry, we’ve obtained President Jiang’s approval beforehand,” the director replied.

  Jiang Dongye knew Qin Ran and wouldn’t do anything against her, so the manager was relieved.

  **

  Ting Lan.

  Qin Ran and Cheng Juan returned.

  Old Master Cheng was sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

  Changing his shoes and throwing the key on the coffee table, Cheng Juan glanced at Old Master Cheng, who was sitting upright and calmly drinking tea. Somewhat succumbing to him, he sighed. “Is the Cheng family so idle these days?”


  Cheng Wenru was also like this.

  Old Master Cheng stared at him with a scowl. “I’m here to give Ran Ran a gift.”


  Butler Cheng took out a simple small box from behind.

  After Qin Ran’s Physics assessment, Cheng Wenru had vividly described it to Butler Qin after returning to the Cheng family’s house and had also shown him the S card Qin Ran gave her.

  Busy with the Cheng family’s forces recently, Old Master Cheng hadn’t had time to see Qin Ran until today.

  He had gone to his private collection to pick a gift for her.

  Qin Ran took off her coat, hung up her scarf, and looked at the box Butler Qin handed over. Holding her phone, she subconsciously looked up hesitantly.

  She didn’t take the gift.

  Behind her, a white and slender hand reached out to take the box from Butler Cheng.

  Qin Ran looked up.

  Holding the box in one hand and her right hand in the other, Cheng Juan’s long figure was slightly bent. He clasped her hand in his and handed her the simple box, his tone gentle. “Take it. He’s not short of money.”


  Sitting straight as a ramrod, Old Master Cheng glanced at him silently because of this.

  She took the box after thinking about it and sent it upstairs without seeing what was inside.

  Tonight, the chef prepared impressive dishes for Old Master Cheng and Butler Cheng.

  In a good mood, Old Master Cheng even brought some wine over for a few drinks.

  “You came back so early today, haven’t you entered the laboratory?” Old Master Cheng took the wine glass and casually chatted with her.

  She replied while slowly eating, “Not yet, I just got the access card today.”


  Old Master Cheng took a sip of wine. “The researcher you’re with will probably contact you tomorrow. Generally, when you enter the laboratory, you have to deal with experiments and won’t have time to come back.”


  Cheng Juan finished eating.

  He casually put down his chopsticks.

  Upon hearing this, he leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his slender fingertips.

  He stared at him with cold, unhappy eyes.

  After Old Master Cheng finished eating, he was sent back by Cheng Mu to the Cheng family’s house.

  Upstairs.

  Qin Ran had already taken a shower and changed into her pajamas. She pressed the towel to her head with one hand and turned on the computer with the other. She had already added Scholar Liao Gaoang’s social account last night and only opened to see that he had yet to contact her.

  He must be very busy as a special researcher, so she wasn’t very bothered and simply applied again.

  Someone knocked on the door.

  Unhurriedly.

  When her hair was almost dry, she put it aside and opened the door to see Cheng Juan leaning against the door. Not surprised, she turned to let him in before closing the door.

  Cheng Juan came in and saw the box on the table. Sitting halfway on the table, he bent his long legs and casually said, “You haven’t opened my Dad’s gift?”


  “Not yet.” Qin Ran opened her closet door, found her backpack, and threw it onto her bed.

  “Come.” Cheng Juan directly opened the box. He raised an eyebrow and waved to her, saying slowly, “Look at his private collection.”


  Qin Ran walked over to take a look.

  There was a blood jade bracelet in the box.

  The jade body was delicate and transparent, dense and smooth, and pure in color. The box itself was a little old and seemed to be hazy with aura when reflected by the jade.

  Qin Ran had never studied these and didn’t know much about it.

  She just thought it looked good.

  Cheng Juan picked it up and examined it. Seemingly quite satisfied with it, he grabbed Qin Ran’s left hand, leaned forward with his long figure, and lowered his eyes to put the blood jade bracelet on her hand.

  The color of the blood jade bracelet was pure red and seemed to be dyed with ice. It contrasted against her thin and white wrist, looking extremely distinct as if enveloped in a layer of light.

  He reached out to draw her in, smiling. “It’s very suitable.”


  **

  At the same time, in the Physics laboratory.

  Three floors underground, at the end of the corridor of the B317 laboratory.

  This laboratory was very close to the nuclear reaction fuel spilled from the Beijing University underground area. Because of this natural geographical advantage, many teachers from the research institute came here to submit applications.

  The majestic laboratory was extremely cold.

  Only two figures were inside.

  Outside, a tall woman wearing a white protective suit came in and walked to the other figure. She handed him a document. “Scholar Liao, this is the student drawn to you by the Physics assessment this year. Here is her document.”


  “A new student?” Scholar Liao was about 40 years old, but the years had not left many marks on his face. He wore glasses with gold rims on the bridge of his nose. Wrinkling his brows slightly upon hearing this, he was quite surprised to be selected after coming here to do his experiment. He simply nodded. “I see.”


  The tall woman handed him the document.

  Taking it, Scholar Liao opened the drawer beside him and put it in without looking through it.
