70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 291 - 10: Exchanging Notes

In the evening, Professor Song returned. He seemed exhausted, but in a very good mood—his papers had all been approved.

Upon hearing that Yin Yang was injured, Professor Song felt a tightening in his chest and quickly went to see him.

Xu Mumu and Professor Jian didn’t go in, leaving the space to Professor Song and Yin Yang.

"Sir Jian, have you named the puppy yet?" Xu Mumu held the puppy in her arms. After feeding it a small piece of meat, the little puppy was no longer afraid of her and had become quite close.

"Big Dog, hoping it grows tall and strong," Professor Jian said smugly.

Xu Mumu nearly spat out blood—Big Dog, what a name! She didn’t expect Professor Jian to be even worse at naming than she was. Even a simple name like ’Little White’ would have been better.

"Big Dog, time to eat." Professor Jian brought out a small bowl with half a bowl of rice and some cold dishes.

"Sir Jian, shall we give it another name?" Xu Mumu looked at Professor Jian conflicted.

"Big Dog sounds nice, doesn’t it? It’s already used to it, right, Big Dog?" Professor Jian said with a smile, petting the little puppy named Big Dog that was happily wagging its tail while eating.

"Alright, Big Dog it is," Xu Mumu sighed. She mentally made a note that future cats and dogs must not be named by Sir Jian.

The puppy was blissfully unaware of its ridiculous name; ever since Professor Jian picked it up, it felt like it had landed in a nest of happiness.

When Professor Song emerged from Yin Yang’s room, his worries had vanished, and he started talking about the papers with Professor Jian.

Xu Mumu listened in, feeling happy for Professor Song and the team, glad to have been part of it. Even as just an assistant, this had been an invaluable experience for her, useful for future independent experiments.

The next day at school, looking at her classmates, Xu Mumu felt like she hadn’t been back in ages, as if she’d been away for a very long time.

"Xu Mumu, why did you suddenly take leave?" Su Yue’e asked curiously. Su Yue’e didn’t have the same hostility towards her as Shen Ya did. Xu Mumu was diligent in her studies, just not very social with her classmates.

"Just some family matters," Xu Mumu replied blandly.

"You missed a few days, so here’s my notes. Would you like to see them?" Su Yue’e offered her notes.

Xu Mumu looked at Su Yue’e seriously and accepted the notes. "Thank you."

"You’re welcome," Su Yue’e said with a bright smile.

Xu Mumu pursed her lips, saying no more. It wasn’t that she didn’t make friends; she just chose carefully. People like Shen Ya had long been excluded from her circle.

She glanced at Su Yue’e—a bit clueless, as Shen Ya had given her several looks which Su Yue’e completely missed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shen Ya was nearly fuming. She didn’t like Xu Mumu and led her little group to alienate her, but Su Yue’e insisted on getting close to Xu Mumu.

Shen Ya wished Xu Mumu’s grades would fall behind, yet Su Yue’e was handing over her notes to her instead.

Watching them talk, Shen Ya began plotting something involving Su Yue’e.

After a few words with Su Yue’e, Xu Mumu started reading the notes. They were quite detailed. Xu Mumu had already mastered the first-year courses, thanks in part to Su Yue’e.

As Xu Mumu reviewed Su Yue’e’s notes, she noted what she felt was important. Though she was already proficient in the freshman courses, she couldn’t help but acknowledge Huaxia University as a premier institution—at least Su Yue’e’s notes were comprehensive, highlighting key points and flagging common mistakes.

"You’ve finished reading already?" Su Yue’e asked incredulously as Xu Mumu returned the notes after just two classes.

"Yes, I’ve finished. I’ve learned these before. Your notes are well done; they cover areas I hadn’t noticed." Xu Mumu responded earnestly.

"That’s great, as long as it helps you," Su Yue’e said shyly under Xu Mumu’s serious gaze.

"Very helpful. Can I borrow your notes next time? I’ll lend you mine in return." Xu Mumu looked at Su Yue’e with a smile.

"Sure thing," Su Yue’e’s cheeks flushed as she agreed. She was curious about Xu Mumu’s notes, eager for mutual learning and growth—the kind of exchange she had dreamed of in college.

"My notes are in my backpack. You can ask me anytime if you want to see them," Xu Mumu said, smiling at Su Yue’e’s silly grin.

"Can I look at them now?" Su Yue’e asked excitedly.

"Of course, no problem. Which subject would you like?" Xu Mumu took out her notes.

Sitting a few seats behind them, Shen Ya almost wanted to spit blood, watching their relationship rapidly develop to the point of exchanging notes—a private matter in her view.

Yes, Shen Ya considered this a private matter. She was good at studying but didn’t like sharing her methods, fearing others surpassing her.

After giving Su Yue’e her notes, Xu Mumu packed up and left, with a patient at home to care for. Besides, she needed to buy some fruit—Yin Yang wanted some.

Meanwhile, Shen Ya stopped Su Yue’e.

"Yue’e, what’s going on?" Shen Ya asked with displeasure.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Yue’e looked at Shen Ya, confused. She was oblivious to the secret targeting of Xu Mumu by Shen Ya’s group. She was with Shen Ya simply to earn extra tutoring fees; her family wasn’t particularly wealthy.

Compared to Shen Ya, busy with everything else and spending less time on studies, Su Yue’e found this neglectful behavior odd and had advised Shen Ya twice to focus on her studies, but Shen Ya was too absorbed in making money to care.

Considering this, Su Yue’e preferred Xu Mumu more, whose time was largely dedicated to studying. Before taking leave, she frequently rushed to the library—an image of what a university student should be.

This comparison lessened her enthusiasm for Shen Ya.

Part-time jobs were just a small part of Su Yue’e’s college life. As long as she earned enough for living expenses, the rest of her time was dedicated to studying. She loved physics and hands-on research, with aspirations for the national research institute.
