Chapter 15

“Afraid of you?” Luo Yan was still as arrogant as ever. “Lin Hai, don’t beg us to return to your stupid research group in the future.”

Lin Hai did not answer her. I could guess that Hai Lin had had enough and didn’t want to lose face again.

“Hurry up then.” I waved my hand. “The door is right there.”

“Heh, let’s see how you’re going to have the last laugh.” Luo Yan sneered and left the research room with Shen Tao.

Lin Hai and I were the only ones left in the research room. After they left, Lin Hai sat down dispiritedly. The despair in his eyes could not be hidden.

“I was the one who checked the information and organized the documents. They’re usually so high and mighty that they would just give me mountain-like piles of documents. I’m about to go bald.” Lin Hai recalled the unpleasant memories and sighed with emotion.

“But if they leave, it’ll be difficult for our research group to succeed. The difficulty of HIV research is off the charts. I can’t complete it alone, much less find new people. Without absolute interest, you wouldn’t have come to the research group.”

“I think I’ll disband the research group. As for the thesis, thank you for your work. I’m sorry for making you work for nothing.” Lin Hai stood up.

Lin Hai’s hand was already on the mouse. He wanted to close my thesis. However, when he was about to press the “X ” sign, he was attracted by the first part of the thesis.

“It’s been a waste of time? Pooh.”

The research on HIV in the thesis was complete, and I had even written clearly and completely about the advanced areas. The more Lin Hai looked at it, the more fascinated he was. He stared at the computer screen.

He would be lying if he said he wasn’t shocked. His reaction was as expected. I sat beside him and waited for him to finish reading the paper. Ten minutes later, Lin Hai reluctantly looked away from the screen.

When he looked at me again, I could feel his admiration overflowing.

“Hurry up and tell me I’m not dreaming.” Lin Hai shook his head and said, “No, no, no. I’ll test myself to see if I’m in a dream.”

Without hesitation, Lin Hai pinched his thigh.

The pain made him frown, and when he was sure that he was not dreaming, he realized that good luck had finally come.

“Lin Luo, I knew that I had good taste!” Lin Hai said excitedly,I just finished reading your thesis. I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that your thesis will definitely win an award! In fact, it could even cause quite a big wave! You’re going to be popular. The HIV Research Group is going to be popular.”

He couldn’t suppress his excitement and almost shook my shoulder. Fortunately, I dodged quickly.

“When Luo Yan and Shen Tao see your results, they’ll definitely be so angry that they’ll vomit blood, hahaha!” Lin Hai held his belly and laughed.

After he finished speaking, the remorseful scene of Luo Yan and Shen Tao appeared in my mind. That image filled me with excitement. Just thinking about it made me feel giddy.

After a while, I patted Lin Hai’s shoulder. “Calm down.”

“You’ve been suppressing yourself recently, especially in front of Luo Yan and Shen Tao. They think you can’t fight back.”

“In this way, when the thesis is awarded, their expressions will be more colorful.”

By doing this, I could not only suppress Luo Yan and Shen Tao, but also help Lin Hai vent his anger…

Killing two birds with one stone, perfect.

“Alright, alright, alright.” Lin Hai was all smiles. “I, I have to read your paper again. I’ve really found a treasure! And you still say you’re not a top student? I think if our professors know of your existence, they’ll fight with the old man who taught you.”

“You’re obviously a good seedling for theoretical studies.”

Lin Hai’s voice was getting softer and softer. He was gradually engrossed in the thesis. I shook my head helplessly, put the documents away, and left the research room quietly. Now, all I had to do was wait for the thesis to be published and earn both fame and fortune.

…

When I returned to the dormitory from the research room, there was no one there. Looking at the time, they were probably playing basketball on the field. I sat down in front of the computer and checked the internet to see if there were any questions.

Just as I was about to log into my account, my phone rang. It was Lucy. I picked up the call and heard the other party’s clear and melodious voice.

“Teacher, do you have time now?” asked Lucy.

“Of course.” She picked the right time. “Do you have a question to ask me?”

“Yes, yes, you’re right.” It was obvious that the stone in Lucy’s heart had been lifted, and the sound of the pages flipping was heard.

“Teacher,” said Lucy as she flipped through the book. “It’s not good for me to keep asking you questions. I feel like it’s too much trouble.”

“What?” I chuckled. “There’s nothing bad about it. Didn’t you already give me a reward?”

“That’s not the same. For a professor of your level, how much does a lesson cost? I also feel that spending money to listen to a lesson is an insult to your noble character.”

As if thinking of something, Lucy suddenly slapped her thigh and said, “Teacher, I’ll make a video of your lecture and then post it on the internet so that your popularity will grow. Treat it as my tuition fee.”

An excellent workforce? I was truly moved by what Lucy said. I didn’t pour cold water on her enthusiasm.

I replied, “Okay, thank you. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me at any time. I welcome your questions, and thank you for your help.”

We each get what we need, and neither side will feel troublesome to the other. After a brief exchange, I began to give lectures to Lucy.

I had to say that Lucy’s ability to comprehend things was very strong. With the system’s support, she was improving rapidly. As the difficulty of the questions increased, the amount of experience points I receive also increased.

In the blink of an eye, Lucy and I had been discussing the topics for nearly two hours. We didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, we were full of energy.

After Lucy finished asking the last question, she let out a long sigh of relief and said, “Teacher, you’re really amazing. The things that I didn’t understand in the past are now extremely clear. To be honest, if I study for a while more, I think I can get the first place in the grade!”

She complimented me like crazy, and I was a little embarrassed in the end. “Your ability to comprehend things is also very strong,” I said helplessly after she was done complimenting me. “You’ll definitely become a top student in the future.”

With my encouragement, Lucy became more and more confident.

“Thank you, Teacher!”

…

After I hung up the phone, Liu Fei and the others returned to their dormitory.

“Lin Luo, we’re back.”

Liu Fei was full of enthusiasm as soon as he entered the dormitory.

But when he saw me, his smile froze. I had just finished explaining the questions to Lucy. My mouth was dry, which naturally made me look weak.

“Hurry up and take a break. Look at you. You’re already in this state, but you’re still working hard. We have to follow your example.” Liu Fei helped me to the bed.

The corner of my mouth twitched.

“Haha, thank you.”

“You’re being polite with me?” Liu Fei patted my shoulder. “I’ll always be your shield!”

I’m really looking forward to seeing the look on Liu Fei’s face when he finds out the truth.

“Liu Fei, I heard that there is a research group on HIV in the school,” I said slowly.

“Yes, you want to join their research group?” Liu Fei continued, “I’ll ask around for you. I heard that their research group is about to publish a paper. It’s a good opportunity to see their strength!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll always support you!”

Liu Fei said righteously.

“Haha, good.” I smiled awkwardly.

I’m actually the most aware of the research team’s strength. I hope Liu Fei won’t get too excited when he sees my thesis.
