Chapter One: The "Turtle" Professor Who Returned from MIT

Hey! Happy Birthday! The cheerful voice was completely at odds with her sorrowful expression

Yang Lanhang immediately grabbed her hand and desperately rinsed it with water, rubbing her hand repeatedly. Her fair and tender little hand was rubbed into a red color, almost shedding a layer of skin

Alright, see you in a bit

I understand

Ling Ling: "There is no choice, the boss has summoned me, I must enter the palace on command"

Xiaoyu, upon seeing this, sincerely exclaimed: "No need to choose, any piece you wear will be enchanting, guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on him!"

After hanging up the phone, Lingling was still in shock. Looking at her watch, she asked, "Xiaoyu, have you ever seen a mentor meet with a student at 8:30 on a weekend?"

Ling Ling was dusting off the surface, sitting upright in front of the computer. Although her eyes were clearly focused on the literature, her hand on the mouse uncontrollably opened QQ

He is unwilling to video chat with me, saying that if I see his appearance, I would definitely be unable to eat for a month

How far is forever: "Then why don't you go to pay your respects?"

I have excellent vision, 10

That evening, Lingling accompanied Zheng Minghao to eat a bowl of spicy noodles and a small piece of birthday cake at the fastest speed. She then made an excuse that the work assigned by Yang Lanhang was not completed and needed to go to the library to continue her efforts, thus sending Zheng Minghao away. Zheng Minghao did not insist and sent her to the front of the library, only saying, "Take care!" before leaving.

Ling Ling asked in a calm and unhurried manner: "What happened?"

Teacher Yang? Does this count as abuse of students?

As expected, within five minutes, a neatly composed piece of Chinese was sent back, and the most delightful aspect was that he added red annotations next to the technical terms and obscure vocabulary for her

Lingling's gaze searched around, ultimately landing on a dimly lit corner of the wall, unable to look away. There, a tall figure was cast into a faint shadow by the blurred streetlight, evoking a sense of solitude and desolation

... ...

How far is forever: "Have you finished reading the literature?"

The toxicity of acetone can penetrate the skin, are you not aware of this

The cleaning lady of the apartment saw her and greeted with a smile: "Lingling, you are back so early today?"

This topic has become rather discordant. Lingling wiped the sweat from her brow and hurriedly closed the door before leaving

Little did Lingling know, upon hearing this, she hung up her skirt and retrieved a thick pair of jeans and a T-shirt from the innermost layer of the wardrobe

Ling Ling took out a USB drive from her bag and followed Yang Lanhang into his office, proactively inserting the USB drive into his computer. Noticing that he skillfully copied several documents, she deliberately counted them—ten! It seemed she was getting to know him better and better.

Goodbye, Teacher Yang. She bowed obediently, demonstrating standard civility and politeness

Mm! Lingling nodded repeatedly, "The translation is complete"

"No, no! It is because my foundational knowledge is insufficient, and my English is too poor to meet your requirements," she said, secretly observing Yang Lanhang's expression. His fingers rested at the edge of his lips, slightly concealing the smile that was beginning to form at the corners of his mouth. His gaze was even deeper, as if he could see through the dissatisfaction hidden behind her respectful demeanor.

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yu suddenly stood up, her tongue slightly tied: "The person who just called you... is not Zheng Minghao, right?"

"Oh? Lingling, what does your boss look like? Is he really that ugly?" Xiaoyu casually asked, "Why do you say he looks frightening every time? Your classmates say there is something wrong with your eyesight."

Then I would rather spend my whole life with QQ

However, he possesses knowledge; although he never deliberately flaunts his talents in front of her, his cultural depth is undeniable

When I was involved in an online romance, many people had not even heard of QQ... We have been chatting for over five years

Inhuman, inhuman, inhuman, inhuman! She cursed him a hundred times in her heart, yet her face still bore an expression of utmost respect as she bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang"

Bai Lingling! You are quite ruthless!

She had never seen him, nor had she heard his voice, but in her heart, there was a clear shadow.

He wouldn't be looking for photos, would he? She rested her chin on one hand, gazing at the screen with eager anticipation

"Can it be completed in a week?" Yang Lanhang asked

I have no money" Lingling bluntly refused

At that school's cafeteria, I am easy to please; a bowl of birthday noodles is sufficient for me

The caller, embodying a spirit of perseverance, dialed repeatedly with very short pauses in between, indicating the use of an automatic redial function, which indeed reflects a strong self-awareness

Ah? How could she know? She did not major in materials during her undergraduate studies, and there were no senior students to guide her in her graduate studies. Even the most attentive advisor cannot cover every aspect.

Will I die? Lingling was so frightened that her hands were trembling, feeling somewhat numb, and her vision was slightly dim.

Unbeknownst to her, Lingling had already arrived at the laboratory door. She pushed the door open, only to find it empty inside. She glanced at the time; it was not yet 8 o'clock. Initially, she intended to commend herself for her diligence and ambition, but the dust on the LCD screen raised a serious protest against her.

Lingling sent a smiley face to express gratitude, accompanied by a phrase, "I love you to death"

Guan Xiaoyu could not understand how a girl like her, who did not give off any sense of being a "disaster", could provoke a fight between Zheng Minghao, the "prominent figure" of T University, and his best friend

After the phone rang three times, Lingling finally surrendered and answered the call

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party did not speak and did not hang up the phone, she asked again: "Um, Teacher Yang, do you have any other matters to attend to?"

In her reflections, Lingling opened the wardrobe, took out a very innocent white dress to look at, then put it back. She then took out a rather trendy Korean-style short skirt, compared its length, and returned it. Finally, she chose a dress that exuded femininity and looked at herself in the mirror, still feeling somewhat hesitant

Xiaoyu's curiosity about Yang Lanhang was piqued, and she was just about to have an in-depth discussion with Lingling about the shortcomings of a certain exceptional doctoral supervisor's character when the cake shop delivered the fruit cake. After hurriedly paying for it, Lingling left with the cake in her arms

He is perceptive and can grasp her fluctuating emotions; without her needing to ask, he always seems to know what she needs

Please send it over

Xiaoyu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but recall the scenes of Zhang Xinyi every time she went to watch Zheng Minghao play football. She would rummage through her wardrobe piece by piece, finding that skirts that were knee-length were too long, while mini skirts were deemed not dignified enough. If the collar was too small, she would say it wasn't sexy enough, and if it was low-cut, she would say it was too revealing. Why didn't she suggest that Xinyi dress this way at the time? Such an ambitious and determined image of a female university student would surely leave Zheng Minghao with an unforgettable impression for life.

I will go to your office tomorrow morning

How far is forever

Although reluctant, she still told him: "I won't chat with you anymore, if that pervert catches me in a while, I might have to write ten more articles!"

Do you have any other matters to attend to

She nodded vigorously, just about to leave, when Yang Lanhang suddenly called out to her

How far is forever: "Staying up late is harmful to the body! Rest well today, and we will see about tomorrow."

Xiaoyu nodded in agreement

If one were to say that she lacks personality, then one could not find a girl with a stronger personality than her. Behind her easygoing nature lies a certain inner stubbornness; no one can sway her thoughts. She never takes the initiative to share her own feelings, including matters concerning her family, and she never pries into others' private affairs.

"Alright." With her moist eyes blinking, she smiled and told him: "Thank you for your joke, it was very funny!"

Indeed

No

There is never a shortage of boys standing guard downstairs at the girls' dormitory, and the scene is quite spectacular. Some pace anxiously, some sit on benches in a daze, and some play on their phones. Even more remarkably, some read books under the dim light.

Ling Ling turned her head lightly, the strands of hair loosely tied fell, brushing against her clean smile: "Can being handsome produce rice?"

How far is forever: "I will scare you."

How far is forever: "I have eaten. The takeout tastes good, do you want to try some? I can have them deliver a portion to you."

Hasn't it always been quite funny

QQ just logged in, and the adorable little bald head immediately began to sway joyfully, instantly blossoming into a smile like a flower

Yang Lanhang leaned comfortably against the soft leather chair, quietly watching her, showing no signs of speaking. She had no choice but to take the initiative to speak: "You mentioned yesterday that you wanted to discuss the direct doctoral program."

Yang Lanhang looked at her for a long time before saying: "Review the properties of the commonly used reagents today, and recite them to me tomorrow morning!"

Perhaps it is her personality that stands out; she rarely refuses others' requests, even when it is truly difficult for her. She does not hold grudges over anything, does not take things to heart, and approaches everything with a carefree attitude. She does not even know how much money she has in her bank account. She seldom goes shopping, does not pursue luxury brands, and casually buys any clothing she finds appealing online, waiting for it to be delivered to her door. She even neglects to eat meals on time, with a full box of snacks stored in her bookshelf, grabbing whatever she can find to satisfy her hunger.

exchanged for Ling Ling's resentful gaze

"Don't tell me that your perverted mentor is..." Xiao Yu swallowed hard and said: "Yang... Lan... Hang!"

How far is forever: "To you, I am merely a super-intelligent universal robot"

Ling Ling glanced at the dazzling English text and chuckled softly: "By the way, I have a piece of literature that I didn't quite understand. I'm not sure if the translation is correct. Could you help me translate it again?"

In the midst of laughter, she arrived at the dormitory door, pushed it open, and saw her only roommate, Guan Xiaoyu, leisurely half-propped on the bed reading a romance novel, her entire being blooming with joy like a flower

She timidly stole a glance at Yang Lanhang by the door, who was also looking at her. His gaze was too profound, making it difficult to decipher. A faint smile lingered at the corners of his lips, a type of smile she despised for its inscrutability, instilling a strong sense of insecurity in her

How far is forever: "It won't happen, he will definitely leave you a life."

"So what kind of man do you actually like?" She was somewhat doubtful about whether Lingling truly liked men.

Lingling: "I am not hungry and do not want to eat! If you are hungry, go ahead and eat, but don't act as if you care about me."

Ling Ling simply greeted and eagerly opened the computer to log into QQ

Have you finished translating the literature I asked you to translate

"Wait a moment." Yang Lanhang paused and asked a rather strange question, "Do you think I am too strict with you?"

He replied quickly: "So early?"

Suppressing her deep grievances, she whispered, "Teacher Yang, I know I was wrong"

Yang Lanhang cleared his throat, covered the smile at the corner of his lips with his fingers, and said lightly: "The laboratory is prohibited from chatting according to the regulations of the institute"

Please take a seat

According to gossip, Zheng Minghao was heartbroken by a woman, which led to his disillusionment and departure from T University. That woman was Bai Lingling. Subsequently, in Xiaoyu's mind, the name "Bai Lingling" became synonymous with a femme fatale. Ironically, by a twist of fate, Xiaoyu and Lingling were assigned to the same dormitory.

No, he is not! He is the person she loves the most

Ling Ling stared blankly at her overly intense reaction: "Do you know him?"

Truly hardworking!

Xiaoyu sat back in her chair, suppressing a laugh as she thought: No wonder no man has entangled himself with Lingling; such a cruel method of rejection would have driven someone with a weaker mental constitution to suicide by hanging long ago. Even someone with a slightly better mental fortitude would need to spend half a month reflecting in solitude.

He picked up the tea from the table, took a sip, cleared his throat, and asked, "Is the pressure of the direct PhD program very high?"

Xiaoyu replied to her with a mischievous smile: "I actually hope you don't come back"

Then you can have a video chat

"Have you all had a voice call?" asked Xiaoyu again

She skillfully typed a reply: "No, there is still one last document that hasn't been translated. I'm afraid you might miss me, so I came back to chat with you for a while, and I'll stay up late to work hard tonight!"

"Washing hands." The price is not expensive, and the stain removal power is quite strong, Ling Ling thought to herself

However, upon thinking that there are still people waiting for her online, Lingling did not have time to think about anything else and rushed back to the laboratory at the fastest speed, typing quickly: "Hey! Are you there?"

Alright! He truly understands her; she is in urgent need of comfort to alleviate her psychological stress and to prepare for the all-nighter ahead.

Her gaze was somewhat blurred, and she made an effort to lift her head, forcing herself to smile sweetly

I suppose so! Later, I specifically inquired and heard that he is a newly returned teacher from the School of Materials, named Yang Lanhang, I ... ...

If you cannot get married, I will take responsibility

Unable to contain her curiosity, Guan Xiaoyu put down the novel in her hands, sat up in bed, and asked: "Lingling, I saw your handsome senior on the way back just now, he is really quite stylish! You are in a prime position, you should seize the opportunity!"

Upon hearing the term "literature review," Lingling felt like crying without tears, unsure of how many more sleepless nights she would have to endure to complete it

One day, she was in the public laboratory washing the dried organic glue off her hands with reagents. Yang Lanhang came in and rushed over to grab her wrist. Usually good-tempered, he was so angry that his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "What are you doing!"

Realizing something was amiss, she removed the towel from her face and glanced at the phone number, her body instantly stiffening: "I’m sorry! Teacher Yang, I thought it was my friend."

It is not that she is timid, but rather that she lacks confidence in the quality education provided by the university. Some careless students may casually leave highly toxic substances unattended and walk away.

At T University, you may not know who the principal is, but if you do not know who Yang Lanhang is, all the girls in the school will look down on you. If Zheng Minghao is the dream lover of T University girls, then Yang Lanhang is definitely the dream husband of T University girls. His popularity is evident from the 200% attendance rate in classes.

Open the QQ message, the screen displays

Xiaoyu pointed at Lingling's bright eyes and said, "Shouldn't you get a pair of glasses?"

This world is fair; a plain and unremarkable stone, which has not undergone the rigorous process of being hammered and chiseled, cannot possibly become a statue of Buddha worshipped by thousands. Perhaps, that pervert is not as perverse as she imagines.

Uh! Guan Xiaoyu was instantly defeated by her postmodern view of love

"Are you chatting?" he asked

A deep call came from behind, startling Lingling so much that her hand went weak, and her chin nearly hit the table. In a flurry, she stood up, supporting the wobbly chair, her heart racing in fear, and finally managed to find her voice: "Good morning, Teacher Yang!"

How far is forever: "If he catches you, how will he punish you?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter if he looks frightening." Lingling expressed her grievances about her mentor, saying, "The key issue is that his personality is too eccentric, unpredictable. Sometimes he doesn't contact me for days, and other times he calls me in the middle of the night to ask about the progress of my research. He pursues perfection in everything, with strict requirements; even a one-micron error would make me recalculate for three days. He also forces me to translate literature every day. I have failed the English Level 4 exam six times, six times! He pursues perfection in everything, with strict requirements; even a one-micron error would make me recalculate for three days. He also forces me to translate literature every day. I have failed the English Level 4 exam six times, six times! It's simply driving me to the brink of despair... In summary, it is not surprising that a man like this has not found a wife until now; any woman with eyes would not look at him!

Lingling: "Perhaps I will be asked to translate ten English documents." Just the thought of it sends chills down her spine

There is none.

Consider yourself to have a conscience I will wait for you downstairs at your dormitory building in half an hour

Oh, goodbye, Teacher Yang

Ling Ling: "That’s true, he only has me as a student, and he still needs to keep me around to work for him!"

Ling Ling pointed to the "Little Bald Head" avatar on the computer screen, and Guan Xiaoyu quickly leaned over to take a look. Upon seeing the chat history on the computer, her eyes widened in astonishment

She trembled as she sent a smiley face: "! Your jokes are getting funnier now."

Bai Lingling

After thirty seconds of silence, the voice on the phone sounded somewhat helpless: "Forget it, I will just buy a plane ticket and go back."

Ah?! Lingling was clearly very surprised and quickly sat up straight, "You are back?"

No wonder Lingling complains every time about encountering the wrong people; whenever she chooses the wrong mentor, her neighbor Xiaoxiao always looks at her with a peculiar gaze

Lingling: "Forget it! By the time the delivery from your place arrives, my life will be long gone!"

Although it affects beauty, one must still wear what is necessary

It is nothing

Another message appeared on the screen, and she looked at it for a very long time

He sent a silent expression

How far is forever: "Oh, just a moment..."

The two did not speak again, and the conversation fell into an awkward silence. Lingling silently refreshed her QQ signature, repeatedly scrolling through it: My life is a straight line, turning only to meet you

"Wait a moment..." Ling Ling hesitated for a moment, "Let me treat you to a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles."

Ling Ling shook her head, a hint of barely perceptible disappointment flashing in her eyes: "He is in America and has no time to come back. In fact, we can't really be considered an online romance; we are just friends who get along well."

As soon as she stepped outside, Ling Ling let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and her heartbeat finally stabilized. To be honest, having a teacher like Yang Lanhang was a significant test of her psychological endurance; she always felt as if she were being studied and calculated as a test subject by him, which was quite stressful

Enduring stomach pain, Lingling stayed up late into the early hours, finally completing the translation of all the documents Yang Lanhang had given her. Exhausted, she returned to her dormitory, lacking the strength to even change her clothes, and fell asleep on the bed in her attire

She truly does not have a single aspect, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, that resembles a femme fatale

It would be strange if it were funny

Such an intelligent Kingsoft Quick Translation, it is difficult for her not to love it

Lingling said he looks frightening Her aesthetic sense is truly subject to strong questioning

Eating something unsuitable is akin to loving someone inappropriate; it is only when a certain part of your body protests in pain that you realize you have made a mistake, yet it is already too late

She replied with a warm smile: "I am a bit tired, I will come back to rest for a while before going to the study room"

But do you really think Yang Lanhang is ugly? I have heard many girls say he is extremely charming. The consensus among the girls in the school is that in this day and age, being handsome is not enough; someone like Yang Lanhang, who is not only handsome but also has charisma and personal charm, is truly a rare breed

The person on the phone did not speak, and she uncertainly asked, "Minghao?"

Lingling shook her head, her mouse gliding over the chat history on the computer, and she smiled gently: "Perhaps what I like is this ambiguity between the lines. Since there can be no outcome between him and me, why break this beautiful feeling?"

It is no wonder that if one is not shockingly unattractive, how could any man be unwilling to video chat with a beautiful woman

What kind of outrageous things can your perverted teacher not do

He no longer replied, and she reviewed the chat history three more times, then looked down at the USB drive in her hand that contained the copied literature, no longer feeling any pain

Guan Xiaoyu got out of bed, poured a cup of hot water, and while blowing on the steam, walked over to Lingling's side, casually asking: "Lingling, do you still remember the boy who helped me move? His family not only produces rice, but they can also produce gold! Should I play matchmaker for you?"

I am on my way back to T at the airport, don't be too moved. The person on the phone paused for a moment and then said, If you really can't handle being so moved, please treat me to a big meal at Shangri-La.

Ling Ling: "Reality is too cruel. I was caught by that pervert while chatting! Not only did he make me translate ten articles, but he also wants me to write a review. It is a tragic disaster beyond imagination! He is so ruthless! So inhumane! So devoid of morality!"

How far is forever: "We have been talking for three hours, it is very late, you should go have dinner soon"

When she saw the shining avatar, she clicked twice at the fastest speed to send a message

Five years? Haven't seen each other?

His family background is not good, as he once said that his future can only rely on himself

More than three hours later, Guan Xiaoyu finished reading the romance novel. Seeing Lingling still smiling foolishly at the computer, her gaze unconsciously lingered on her, savoring her profile. Her waist-length, smooth black hair fell casually, accentuating her fair and delicate skin. Her tall and well-proportioned figure remained curvaceous beneath the loose T-shirt. Although she appeared somewhat sleep-deprived, her pair of intelligent eyes were bright and clear, and her gentle and serene smile was uplifting. Such a girl, while a beautiful sight on campus, could not be called a stunning beauty, nor did she exude any captivating charm. Although she appeared somewhat sleep-deprived, her pair of intelligent eyes were bright and clear, and her gentle and serene smile was uplifting. Such a girl, while a beautiful sight on campus, could not be called a stunning beauty, nor did she exude any captivating charm.

As she was leaving, she cast a captivating glance back at Xiaoyu and said, "I will be back soon, no need to think of me."

What! This time, Xiaoyu was truly frightened to the point of being dumbfounded. Fortunately, she did not drink any water; otherwise, she would have surely choked to death

Oh!

Lingling: "This is impossible! I can't finish this material today; my inhumane boss is determined to take my life!"

He is not handsome, as he once stated that he does not have a girlfriend, and no woman would like a man like him

Ling Ling was left speechless, having to swallow her resentment and continue to admire the diverse inventions and creations of the scientists

The topic proposal is due next month. Please organize all the literature I provided to you as soon as possible and write a review for me. I would like to see how well you understand the subject.

It's alright. I originally wanted to discuss the matter of pursuing a doctorate with you, but since you have something to attend to, we can do it another day

Bai Lingling, can't you say something I would like to hear

Ling Ling stood in front of the library, watching Zheng Minghao's increasingly blurred figure, feeling as if her stomach was being twisted by a knife.

No way! The current explanation of online dating is particularly concise: online dating = meeting, going to bed, getting out of bed, blacklist. This couple, who are truly exceptional, has been chatting for over five years, yet they haven't even progressed to the first step; the pace is rather slow. Could it be that he is too ugly to be seen?

She eagerly awaited him to send the photos, but he suddenly changed the subject: "I remember that your laboratory prohibits discussing QQ."

Alright. I just found a few more relevant articles..." He turned around and glanced at the dialogue box on the screen, adding, "Also translate it into Chinese for me.

The Zheng Minghao in her memory was not like this; he always exuded a rebelliousness and recklessness unbound by anyone, as if his life were forever free from constraints

"What is wrong with you?" he asked

After hanging up the phone, Lingling rummaged through the drawer for a while and found a flyer from a cake shop. She dialed the number listed on it: "Is this the cake shop? I would like to order a birthday cake. Can it be delivered in half an hour? The address is T University, Apartment 12, A918... ... Alright, thank you. By the way, please do not use roses or heart shapes for the design... ... The inscription should read: Minghao, happy birthday." ... Alright, thank you. By the way, please do not use roses or heart shapes for the design... ... The inscription should read: Minghao, happy birthday."

She answered decisively: "No!"

It makes sense. There is no limit to the extreme; there are only more extremes

If possible, she truly wishes to meet him, to feel the warmth of his palm, to hear the sound of his voice. To make her believe that he exists in reality, not just an illusory number

Alright, take your time with the translation. If you need my assistance, feel free to reach out to me at any time

The notification sound of a QQ message echoed again in the computer, and Lingling hurriedly turned around to continue chatting

Thank you!" A clear male voice on the phone said, "I specifically came back so that you could treat me to a meal.

Xiaoyu remained silent, listening to Lingling continue: "He thinks my graduation project is worthless, and that's one thing, but he even said that a design like mine could still allow me to graduate, implying that the overall quality of university students cannot possibly improve. Don't you think that's unfair? The decline in the quality of university education and the difficulties faced by university students in finding employment have nothing to do with me?"

Lingling: "Shh! While that pervert hasn't come to work yet, I'll sneak in a moment."

She originally thought that a girl like Lingling, who was a source of trouble, would skillfully maneuver among various outstanding boys using some means. However, after a long period of observation, she discovered that Lingling spent her days studying in the self-study room, and the rest of the time was spent mindlessly smiling at her computer, neglecting her meals and sleep. Not to mention being well-connected, she didn't even have a single boy with whom she had an ambiguous relationship.

Xiaoyu asked in confusion: "Lingling, why did you choose him as your mentor in the first place?"

But now, he has truly changed, to the point where she can hardly recognize him

There is one thing, my foundation is not very good. While speaking, she kept looking at her toes, appearing as aggrieved as a young bride, in fact, she was afraid of revealing the resentment in her eyes

Ling Ling looked at the ceiling and replied: "Whether it is ugly or not is not important, but he has a habit of suddenly appearing to scare people, regardless of time or occasion, which really tests one's psychological resilience. Even my strong ability to cope with stress has been startled into experiencing arrhythmia as a negative reaction."

He is not tall, as he has mentioned that he does not like the feeling of being looked down upon by Americans

Ling Ling sighed and angrily stomped on the floor: "Just because of his words, I have been delayed in graduating for a year. Fortunately, I am pursuing a double degree, so it doesn't have much impact; otherwise, I would jump off a building to show him!"

The shadow in the corner saw her, extinguished the cigarette, approached her, and even opened its arms towards her

He is gentle and tolerant, enduring the long passage of time and the vast distance; he silently understands her, cares for her, and desires nothing in return

In the early morning, a sudden and urgent sound of a mobile phone alarm rang out, causing Lingling to jump up from her bed. She quickly completed her morning routine and rushed to the materials building with the translated documents in hand. Inside the materials building, the dimly lit corridor was intermittently filled with strange rumbling and vibrations, accompanied by the pungent smell of reagents. Lingling covered her nose and cautiously took each step, always prepared for an escape.

How far is forever: "I apologize, I was just a bit occupied."

Thank you! She sat uneasily on the sofa

Ling Ling wore a "spare me" expression and shook her head vigorously: "Forget it, how many women are lurking around a wealthy young master like him! Even if he takes a liking to me, it would just be a fleeting whim, a casual fling. If he could be devoted to me, I might as well jump off the ninth floor!"

You are welcome

"Cafeteria? If I go to the cafeteria with you, will I still be able to get married in the future!"

Ling Ling, dressed in simple jeans and a white T-shirt, holding an English professional dictionary just borrowed from the library, walked through the beautiful scenery and stepped into the modest graduate apartment without glancing aside

She quickly copied and pasted large sections of text from the PDF document, the formatting was somewhat messy, with a few garbled characters. She was confident that the recipient's English proficiency and comprehension abilities were exceptional, so she skipped the editing process and sent it directly.

So you enrolled in his graduate program, wanting to show him what true talent is

Lingling: "Based on my understanding of him, he should keep his work time deviation within one minute. There are still ten minutes left, so let's chat for ten minutes first"

In this situation, Lingling unhesitatingly handed over the birthday cake in her hands and stuffed it into his embrace. "Oh! You even prepared a birthday cake for me? It seems you still have me in your heart," Zheng Minghao said with some surprise.

You need not feel pressured; if your direct doctoral program results are insufficient, you can take the exam. You do not need to worry about the specialized courses, as long as you can pass the English score threshold. Moreover, if you do not succeed this year, you can take the exam again in the spring of next year, which will not affect your research progress or your doctoral degree graduation; at most, your enrollment will be slightly delayed.

Xiaoyu nodded in agreement and added, "I believe that a question posed by a genius is one that ten fools would be unable to answer."

Alright

Lingling: "Are you there?"

Ling Ling finished getting dressed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. While she was washing, her phone rang. When she rushed in, she was still wiping her face with a towel, casually picked up her phone, and smiled as she said: "Didn’t you say half an hour? You arrived so quickly! Wait for me a moment..."

Holding the text that resembled a heavenly book until midnight, Lingling's admiration for a certain professor's sense of responsibility was completely shattered. She went on QQ to vent her dissatisfaction to "How far is forever?", but the response she received was merely: "Why don't you wash your hands with sulfuric acid? It has a stronger cleaning power!"

In order to prove a point! Ling Ling glanced at the clock again; it was still early. With a tone that suggested a painful recollection of the past, she said, "I majored in electronics during my undergraduate studies, and that subject is truly not meant for humans to learn. The notifications for my retakes could be bound into a book, and my confidence was severely impacted. Therefore, my life's pursuit was simply to graduate smoothly, marry a good man, and live out the rest of my days! I never expected that during my undergraduate defense, this weirdo would suddenly appear out of nowhere and bombard me with a bunch of nonsensical questions. A question posed by an idiot is something that even ten geniuses would struggle to answer!" I never expected that during my undergraduate defense, this weirdo would suddenly appear out of nowhere and bombard me with a bunch of nonsensical questions. A question posed by an idiot is something that even ten geniuses would struggle to answer!

After watching this dialogue, Guan Xiaoyu was left speechless with her mouth agape for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Who still engages in online dating these days!"

It is not yet eight o'clock ... ... '' She glanced at her watch, it was exactly eight o'clock, with an error of less than one minute. Does this pervert really have to be so precise with the time!

How far is forever: "Do you want to hear a joke?"

Minghao

That is because they do not understand his character. He is not very unattractive; it is just that his moral character is somewhat lacking

The smile on her face grew even more pronounced: "What can I do? After all, I have a great mentor!"

Lingling: "It's nothing! I just miss you a little..."

How could she not know him? Her university roommate Zhang Xinyi is completely infatuated with Zheng Minghao, constantly mentioning his name throughout the day. As a result, Xiaoyu has heard about Zheng Minghao's "glorious" experiences no less than ten times and can recite them fluently. For instance, he was admitted to T University as the top student in the Computer Science department at the age of seventeen, yet he ended up ranking last in the final exams of his first year; he was caught gambling in the dormitory by the student council; he even assaulted a referee on the football field, leaving him bruised and battered. Furthermore, in his senior year, he suddenly turned over a new leaf and, along with his best friend Wang Tao, established a web studio, taking on numerous projects. Additionally, in the second semester of his master's program, he made a shocking decision that left the entire Computer Science department in disbelief: he dropped out.

That expression was not one of annoyance, but rather a kind of serious concern.
