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.”
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.
Yuan Jiacheng wasn’t particularly gifted academically and had not made it into Imperial Capital University.
Mong Ru and Father Yuan sent Yuan Jiacheng to a business college abroad to focus on business.
It was only at the beginning of this year that Yuan Jiacheng came back.
Father Yuan frowned slightly and said indifferently, “Some are not a good match.”
The Yuan family is a mid-sized family in Imperial Capital, their strength is definitely superior to the Ying Family.
Yuan Jiacheng’s appearance is not bad; he’s not lacking suitors.
Father Yuan thought that Yuan Jiacheng should at least marry someone from a family of the same level as the Yuan family.
The Ying Family?
Forget it.
“Master, we need to look to the long term,” Mong Ru smiled, “Look at Yuexuan, she is Verdant’s top student for her year and also a student of Professor Li, she will definitely be able to stay at Imperial Capital University in the future.”
“What are we lacking now? Talent. With Yuexuan, we’ll be halfway into the academic circle, can we worry about new talents later?”
Sure enough, hearing this, Father Yuan fell into deep thought.
The Yuan family is in the electronic business, and these things are indispensable.
After thinking for a while, he nodded, “This matter still depends on Jiacheng’s opinion, have them meet tomorrow.”
Mong Ru smiled again, “I’ll go talk to Jiacheng right away.”

The next day, evening.
Fu Yunshen went to the ISC training camp to pick up Ying Zijin and took her to the movies.
He had picked out a live-action fairy tale film produced by Universal Film Company, and as he was about to buy tickets, his sleeve was tugged.
Fu Yunshen looked down and saw the girl’s porcelain white, jade-like hand.
Ying Zijin said, “I want to watch this.”
Fu Yunshen followed where her finger pointed and saw a horror movie, “…”
He raised an eyebrow, “Yaoyao, aren’t you just going to hide in your brother’s arms in a bit?”
Ying Zijin’s expression paused, she looked up calmly, “I’m afraid you’ll hide in my arms.”
Fu Yunshen tilted his head and thought for a moment, “That wouldn’t be too bad.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the Winnie the Pooh beside him, his voice gentle, “Don’t you think so, little bear?”
Ying Zijin inserted her hands into her pockets, her eyelashes casting down.
She misspoke.
Pacifying dogs was a thing of the past. This man had already started pacifying stuffed toys.
As the queue moved forward, Fu Yunshen turned his head, “What do you want to drink?”
Ying Zijin pulled her hat down, “Nothing for me.”
She was about to walk away when he grabbed her hand and smiled, “Kid, stop messing around.”
Ying Zijin glanced at him, her hand lightly exerting some clever strength, and she broke free.
She reinserted her hands into her pockets and walked away leisurely.
Fu Yunshen, “…”
He forgot, their little friend was also an ancient martial artist.
If he had known, he should have used some force.
“Arguing with your little girlfriend?” The cashier had seen everything and couldn’t help but chuckle, “At such age, girls should be pampered in everything, otherwise it could lead to a long fight.”
Fu Yunshen looked down and smiled, “Still a little bit off.”
The kid wasn’t of age yet, he couldn’t officially start pursuing her.
But it wouldn’t be long now.

Elsewhere.
Under Mong Ru’s arrangement, Ying Yuexuan followed Yuan Jiacheng to the movie theater.
“Miss Yuexuan, I’ll go get the tickets,” Yuan Jiacheng said politely and gently, “Wait here for a moment, what would you like to eat?”
“Anything is fine,” Ying Yuexuan said, “Thank you for the trouble.”
“No trouble at all,” Yuan Jiacheng nodded his head, “My mother told me to take good care of you, as I should.”
Yuan Jiacheng went to the electronic ticket machine.
Ying Yuexuan sat in the waiting area.
As she prepared to check what movies were available today, she turned her head and saw the girl leaning against the wall.
The girl’s features were cold, her right hand playing with a phone.
Even though she was bare-faced, she looked better than Yuexuan did with carefully applied makeup.
It felt like a hand was gripping her throat, Ying Yuexuan’s breath tightened.
Up to today, she was still anxious.
Old Master Zhong and Ying Tianlv had already been taken away, would the others be far behind?
The next ones were probably Mong Ru and Yuan Jiacheng, weren’t they?
At this moment, Ying Yuexuan’s long-suppressed emotions exploded, she could hold back no longer.
She stood up and walked over to the girl.
Ying Zijin looked up, and when she saw that the person wasn’t Fu Yunshen, she withdrew her gaze.
This kind of disregard made Ying Yuexuan’s emotions even more volatile.
“Ying Zijin.” She looked at the girl and said softly, “You’ve been pretending for so many years, treating us all like a joke. You must be very pleased, aren’t you?”
