The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

Chapter 109: Returning to the University

When Xiao Ying saw this, she secretly smiled and did not say anything else.

Seeing that he was fine alone, Xiao Ying picked up a smaller box and said, “Let’s go.”

It took the two of them three trips to move everything.

Xiao Ying was panting with exhaustion, but Zhou Yao was completely fine. His face did not even turn red.

After a while, she took out two bottles of water and handed one to him.

After drinking the water, Xiao Ying began to assemble the instruments.

She opened them one by one. First, she took out a smaller console and placed it on the table.

She wanted to get Machine 2, but just as she reached out, someone had already delivered it to her hand.

Xiao Ying did not notice anything wrong.

Every time she needed something, it would be handed right to her. As a result, Xiao Ying was able to finish constructing the instrument quickly.

Clapping her hands in satisfaction, she realized that there was someone else standing beside her.

She asked in surprise, “You still haven’t left?”

Zhou Yao looked at her innocently, using his gaze to tell her that he had been there all along.

Only then did Xiao Ying remember that someone had been helping her pass things over the whole time.

She said embarrassedly, “When I’m immersed in my research, I tend to neglect the people and matters around me. I’ll treat you to a meal later as thanks.”

Zhou Yao was quiet as ever.

However, Xiao Ying did not feel uncomfortable. In fact, she felt very casual around him.

The two of them headed to the cafeteria to eat. They arrived just in time for dinner, and the entire cafeteria was packed.

The moment they entered, they attracted everyone’s attention.

Xiao Ying had always been a famous person in school. After being awarded the title of academician by the country, her reputation had become even more widespread.

Zhou Yao was also the newest school hunk.

Two influential figures arrived at the canteen at the same time, and it was a boy and a girl too. Everyone’s gossipy hearts were instantly ignited.

Xiao Ying automatically blocked out the surrounding gazes. Zhou Yao cared even less. He only had eyes for Xiao Ying.

The two of them separated after dinner.

Xiao Ying returned to the research lab and looked at the instruments on the table, suddenly remembering something strange.

How did Zhou Yao know how to assemble the devices?

This was an instrument used only by research students.

Could it be that… Zhou Yao was also in the field of scientific research?

This thought made Xiao Ying happy. The school’s research team really lacked young blood. Recently, they had been looking for good seedlings.

She was about to go out and ask him when she was intercepted by Professor Liu, who had just arrived.

When he saw Xiao Ying, his usually serious face revealed a gentle smile as he said, “Academician Xiao, you’re finally willing to come back?”

Xiao Ying hurriedly said, “Don’t call me that. You can just call me what you used to call me.”

Professor Liu’s expression became even more gentle. It was rare for someone to obtain such glory at such a young age without being arrogant or impatient.

After Professor Liu walked in, Xiao Ying saw that there were a few graduate students following him.

They smiled awkwardly at Xiao Ying.

Just looking at their expressions, one could tell they had just been scolded by Professor Liu.

When Professor Liu looked at the graduate students, his expression was no longer as gentle as before. He scoffed and said, “How did you guys write your research report? It made no sense at all. It’s clear that you didn’t put in any effort.”

A few of the graduate students groaned inwardly and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

This made Professor Liu even angrier. He said, “Look at Xiao Ying. She’s younger than you guys and her achievements are greater than yours. Have you ever thought about why?”

Xiao Ying stood quietly to the side innocently. This kind of thing had happened a lot since she joined the research lab.

If not for the fact that Xiao Ying was usually calm and low-key, she would have been the target of public anger long ago.

The graduate students looked at Xiao Ying plaintively, but they were not angry. After all, the professor was telling the truth.

After Professor Liu vented his anger, he saw Xiao Ying’s figure preparing to slip away. He suddenly said, “Xiao Ying.”

Xiao Ying looked at him, puzzled.
