The next day, as usual, he rode his bicycle into the base at a moderate pace. Arriving at the parking lot, they saw a luxurious car that was even more luxurious than the previous one. Tian Cheng didn't feel anything. Most of his savings were spent on his endless research. Compared to his surface vanity, he felt that his knowledge was much better.

Opening his private research room, Tian Cheng began the unfinished task of yesterday. Then the doorbell rang.

"Didn't I say that no one should disturb me at work?" Without caring about who the other party was, Tian Cheng said those words without any trace of politeness.

Even so, Tian Cheng reluctantly opened the door. A light fragrance drifted over, and a young girl in her twenties stood before the door. At this moment, Tian Cheng's attention was caught by the woman in front of him. She was wearing female work clothes, and her slightly tight waist made her tall and slender figure very obvious. Her long black hair was tied up, and it could be seen that she had dressed herself for a long time before coming here. Ye Zichen smiled faintly at Tian Cheng, revealing his pure-white teeth, while his rosy cheeks still had a hint of youth that had yet to leave.

Very soon, Tian Cheng realized that he had lost his composure and quickly withdrew his infatuated gaze. This was the first time that he had such feelings for a girl. Perhaps it was because this was the first time he saw a girl at such a close distance, and also the first time he saw such a beautiful girl. At this moment, Tian Cheng was moved.

She was stunned and her face turned red. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word after a long time. Then, the girl opened her mouth.

Hello, Dr. Tian Cheng. My name is Shu Ting, and I'm a recent graduate of Lipu University. I've long heard about your extraordinary achievements in botanical research and have always admired you. I've come to find you with the hope of coming here for an internship.

"Yes, of course." Without even thinking about it, Tian Cheng blurted out. He felt as if he had been struck by a pie falling from the sky. His head began to spin. Then she blushed and stammered, "Actually... Err … I do lack an assistant these days. " It was the first time he had been so nervous, even when faced with experts and professors who were recounting their findings.

He, who had grown up pretty, had always been a real "bookworm" in the eyes of his classmates. However, most of his classmates admired him, but admiration was one thing. He did not have the time to chat with those girls, and those girls also did not want to deal with a "bookworm" for a long time. So apart from questions and later work, he rarely came into contact with girls.

"Really?" The girl exclaimed, "Then let's start working now. It's a good thing that I'm wearing work clothes today." The young girl's bashfulness was quickly replaced by her enthusiasm and liveliness.

Soon, Shu Ting went back to work. Everything here was unfamiliar to this college student who had just graduated. He did not know what to do, but he did not know where to start. Thus, she cast her pleading gaze towards Tian Cheng. He was very happy to explain everything to her. The cold and dull research room was slowly turning into a warm and lively room.

Time passed by very quickly. Soon, three months had passed. In the past, when he was doing research, Tian Cheng had thought that time passed quickly, but compared to the flow of time when he worked with Shu Ting, the former was not worth mentioning at all. Now, he finally experienced the meaning of relativity.

During these three months, Chengdu brought Shu Ting along every day to complete all of his work, constantly explaining various aspects of the knowledge to her. He liked to hear her praise him, he liked to see her adoration for some of his successes, he liked to see her smile, he liked the intimacy of her asking him questions. He was only waiting for that moment, for his skin to break, for it to sprout, for it to take root.

During these three months, Shu Ting had also shed her youthful looks after leaving school. Her speech and demeanor had matured quite a bit, and in addition to that, the people she met during her daily work were professors, doctors, and powerful people. Her temperament had undergone a tremendous change.

That night, Tiancheng worked alone until eleven o'clock. Ye Zichen dragged his tired body along the road as he ran unsteadily on his bicycle. Although he was very tired, his smile never stopped, because tomorrow was Shu Ting's last day of work with him, and he was prepared to confess to her tomorrow. For this, he had deliberately ordered ninety-nine big roses at a florist's. "At this moment, he's practicing what he's going to say tomorrow." Shu Ting, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend? "I promise to give you a lifetime of happiness." "Shu Ting, I …"

His mouth never stopped mumbling. When he passed by a hotel, the colorful lights reflected the man and woman who were kissing in front of Tian Cheng's eyes. He just smiled and didn't care about any of this. With a sudden stop, a half meter long black mark appeared on the ground.

"That girl …" "Seems like …" Tian Cheng was alarmed. In an instant, that scene flashed through his mind countless times as he kept muttering to himself, "It won't, it won't. I must have seen wrongly." He turned his head back slowly. The mumbling suddenly stopped, and his entire body froze in place, as if even his breathing had stopped.

"It really is her." He did not dare to believe his eyes, and ruthlessly rubbed it. He really hoped that the girl in front of him at the next moment was not the Shu Ting that he loved dearly. However, when he opened his eyes, everything was the same. Instantly, countless intimate scenes of being intimate with a girl flashed before his eyes. Right now, he already treated her as his own world, but she was being passionately kissed. A wave of heartache came from his chest, causing him to forget to breathe. This was the first time he had fallen in love with this girl! How could he not be moved and heartbroken?
