Chapter 387: 367 Seeking refuge in brother’s embrace? Yaoyao gets jealous [2 updates]

“Professor Zuo, hello.” Professor Li stepped forward to greet Zuo Li, “You’re here too.”

“Good grief.” This time it was Zuo Li’s turn to be shocked as he took a step back, “You all are still here?”

He immediately looked towards the lab and found that it was only Professor Li there, which put him at ease.

The other professors who were fiercely competitive in recruiting weren’t there, so he wasn’t afraid.

Professor Li felt very awkward.

Because of their Computer Science Department’s aggressive recruiting style, other faculties kept their distance.

Professor Li coughed a few times and introduced Ying Yuexuan to him, “Yuexuan, this is Professor Zuo Li from the Department of Physics, the youngest professor in the department. He returned after studying abroad for five years and is also a preselected talent of the International Physics Center, very impressive.”

Ying Yuexuan stepped forward, very polite, “Hello, Professor Zuo.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Zuo Li didn’t pay much attention to Ying Yuexuan; he was prepared to conduct an experiment with Ying Zijin.

Following Zuo Li’s gaze, Professor Li looked surprised, “Eh, Professor Zuo, this is the youngest associate professor you mentioned from your department?”

The professors had this information, but the students didn’t know yet.

Even he was seeing him for the first time.

But wasn’t this… too young?

Professor Li marveled inwardly.

Zuo Li became wary, “What do you want to do?”

“No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood, Professor Zuo, I didn’t mean that.” Professor Li secretly wiped off his sweat, walked over, and continued, “Yuexuan, this is Professor Ying.”

Ying Yuexuan didn’t answer.

Her gaze was firmly fixed on the upper left corner of Ying Zijin’s clothing, where she saw the words on that identity badge.

Name: Ying Zijin

Position: Associate Professor

Faculty: Department of Physics

Three lines of text, each one harsher than the last, all stabbing into Ying Yuexuan’s heart.

Looking at the words “Associate Professor,” her brain stopped functioning.

And just at this moment, Professor Li sighed again, “It’s funny to say, your surname is the same as Professor Ying; maybe you were from the Main House five hundred years ago.”

This unintentional remark exploded in Ying Yuexuan’s mind.

How funny.

Even the Ying surname was something she had stolen.

Main House?

“Yuexuan?” Professor Li noticed that Ying Yuexuan had not responded for a long time and looked over.

Under Professor Li’s gaze, Ying Yuexuan was forced to speak, her voice strained, “Professor Ying.”

Addressing Ying Zijin in this way hurt more than killing her.

Ying Zijin still didn’t respond; she just nodded to Professor Li and continued operating the equipment.

“Professor Zuo, I won’t disturb you any longer,” said Professor Li. “We’re leaving now.”

After speaking, he saw that Ying Yuexuan was still standing there in a daze, so he had to call out again, “Yuexuan, let’s go.”

Ying Yuexuan then snapped out of it and immediately followed, her nails digging into her palms.

It was because she had learned programming from Pei Tianyi for a year that she caught Professor Li’s eye and got the opportunity to visit the lab.

But Ying Zijin had done nothing and had come here effortlessly.

She was confident she would score over seven hundred on this year’s college entrance exam. With that score, going to Imperial Capital University was a sure thing, and she would be among the top tier of students.

But being a student at Imperial Capital University and being a professor there were two different things.

The students of Imperial Capital University found it very difficult to stay on as faculty.

To become an associate professor definitely requires publishing a certain number of papers in academic journals.

If Mong Ru knew that Ying Zijin was already an associate professor at Imperial Capital University, would she still choose her?

There was no need to think about it.

Ying Yuexuan’s legs felt as if they were filled with lead, heavy as she walked.

And behind her, the voices of Ying Zijin and Zuo Li conversing could be heard.

Pauli spin matrices, translation operators…

Ying Yuexuan’s complexion grew paler and paler.

She couldn’t understand any of it!

Before, she thought she could bridge the gap between her and Ying Zijin, but now she finally realized how ridiculous that idea was.

**

After Ying Yuexuan took a taxi back to the Yuan family home, she still hadn’t recovered.

“What’s wrong with you?” Mong Ru noticed her pale complexion, “Are you feeling unwell? Did Professor Li say anything?”

Ying Yuexuan recounted the day’s events, glossing over Ying Zijin.

“That’s good.” Mong Ru was relieved. “You go on up and rest; I’ve prepared hot water for you.” _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

With a pale face, Ying Yuexuan ascended the stairs, her steps somewhat unsteady.

Not long after, the door opened again, and Father Yuan returned.

These days, Father Yuan was busy with company matters and trying hard to secure an invitation to the Nie family’s New Year banquet.

“Sir, I think Yuexuan is a good girl.” Mong Ru considered for a moment, “What do you think about setting an engagement between her and Jiacheng?”

Yuan Jiacheng was the son of Father Yuan and Mong Ru.
