Chapters 73 - 73: Professor Lin with care

"I... "I'm looking at the time. I don't want to be late on Professor Lin's side." Xia Bingqing found an excuse and guiltily placed his phone back down.

"The reason he's so angry isn't just because I skipped his class, it's because I promised him I would give a lecture last time. I'm skipping class! " Xia Bingqing shrugged and calmed himself down, thinking that he was really impulsive yesterday.

Xia Bingqing did not understand, and frowned: "What are you careful of?"

Xiao Yin looked around warily, got close to Xia Bingqing and whispered: "I heard a few senior students from before say that a girl from their dorm was called over by Professor Lin, but after that, somehow, there were a lot of scars on her body. At first, that girl thought that it was some kind of skin disease, but when she went to the hospital to see, she said that someone sucked her mouth with his mouth. That girl wanted to call the police, but she did not have any evidence at all, so she ended up suffering a loss.

"Nonsense, that's impossible." Xia Bingqing was shocked hearing this.

Professor Lin looked very upright, so how could he do such a terrifying thing?

"It's fine if you're talking nonsense. In short, you have to be more careful, this news might not be without reason, if Professor Lin is really an old wolf in sheep's clothing, then he definitely would not be interested in you," Xiao Yin said as she pinched Xia Bingqing's chin. "Especially a beauty like you."

"Stop messing around." Xia Bingqing pulled her hand, and could not help but be worried.

Just like Xiao Yin said, there might be a reason for it.

After class, Xiao Yin insisted on accompanying Xia Bingqing to Professor Lin's place.

Arriving at the teaching staff's small ocean building, Xia Bingqing walked up to the second floor and headed towards the office that Professor Lin was in.

"I'll wait for you outside. If something's wrong, immediately leave. Do you hear me?" Xiao Yin said to Xia Bingqing in a low voice.

"What can happen in the middle of the day? Don't worry, it's fine."

Xia Bingqing patted Xiao Yin's hands and pulled at the clothes on her body. She walked to the door and lightly knocked twice.

Professor Lin was reading with his reading glasses on, and when he heard the knock on the door, he raised his head and took off his glasses. "It's Little Xia, come in!"

Xia Bingqing walked in.

"Hello Professor Lin, yesterday's class —"

Professor Lin raised a hand to stop her. He stood up from his seat and walked to the door and closed it.

Xia Bingqing's heartstrings immediately tensed up.

Professor Lin turned around and walked over. "Let's sit on the sofa."

"Alright." Xia Bingqing calmly walked to the side of the sofa and sat down.

She calmly looked at Professor Lin, only to see him take out a paper cup, put something into it, then went to the water dispenser to soak.

Seeing him walk over, she straightened her head and pretended not to see him.

But in his heart, he was more or less beginning to drum up ideas.

"Come, Little Xia, drink some water." Professor Lin placed the paper cup in front of her and sat down across from her.

"Thank you!" Xia Bingqing smiled, but did not drink that cup of water.

"Little Xia, have you been dating recently?"

"Er — —" Xia Bingqing hesitated for a moment before replying, "No!"

Professor Lin sighed, "I don't object to you having a boyfriend, but since it will affect your studies, it's not worth it. There's still a long road ahead, if you relax and neglect now, you might even talk about dreams and the future. Little Xia, I want you to consider it carefully."

"Professor Lin, you're right, I should concentrate on my studies."

"You can rest assured with this realization," Professor Lin said with a smile. "Little Xia, I think highly of you, so don't let me down. I really need to do a research project, I still lack one member of the team. If you want to participate, come here tomorrow at 8 PM, I'll have a good talk with you."

"Tomorrow night?" Xia Bingqing could not help but be suspicious.

"Yes, I have to go to the neighboring province in the day. I will leave in the morning and return in the evening. Only I have time in the evening. Do you have any questions?"

Xia Bingqing saw that Professor Lin's expression was solemn, and there was only the wisdom of his elders on his aged face.

Professor Lin's research on this topic was a very rare opportunity. Even if she could not be of any use, she could still learn a lot. She had to grasp it.

"No problem. I'll be there on time tomorrow night." She answered firmly.

Professor Lin nodded knowingly. "Very good!" This is what I'd like to see, that class talk, next time make up for it. "

"Thank you, Professor!" Xia Bingqing was very happy.

"Alright, there's nothing else. You can go to class."

"Then I'll leave first. Goodbye, Professor Lin!"

Xia Bingqing stood up from the chair.

Just as he was about to leave, Professor Lin suddenly asked, "Little Xia, don't you like lemon tea?"

Xia Bingqing glanced at the paper cup on the table, and then saw a piece of lemon at the bottom. She shook her head and replied calmly: "No, I like drinking lemon tea, but I just happen to not be that thirsty."

"Oh, so it's like that!" Professor Lin nodded.

"Goodbye, Professor Lin!" Xia Bingqing bowed respectfully and walked out of the office.

Outside, Xiao Yin who had been sneakily watching for half a day saw Xia Bingqing coming out and dragged sher away, and when he reached the staircase, he asked anxiously: "How is it? Did that old man do anything to you? "

"Nothing much. He was just kind of critical of me. I don't think so."

"Could it be that old wolf is trying to catch a big fish in the long run?" Xiao Yin stroked her chin, and started talking to herself.

Xia Bingqing pondered for a while in her heart, but in the end, she still decided to tell Xiao Yin the matter of the research: "Professor Lin wants me to participate in his research, and wants me to come see him tomorrow at 8 PM!"

"What!" Xiao Yin exclaimed.

"Can you not shout so loudly!"

"You wouldn't have agreed, right?"

"Yeah, I've agreed. This is a rare opportunity, I can't just give up on such a great opportunity because of a few empty words, right? Besides, even if there's something I can deal with it."

"I say, Eldest Miss, aren't you too naive? Even an idiot could tell that there was something fishy about this invitation, yet you still jumped in without any hesitation?"

Xia Bing slowly let out a breath, "People can't be afraid of a fish bone choking them in the throat, so they'll never eat fish."

"And if it comes at the expense of the body?" Xiao Yin asked her.

Xia Bingqing smiled at her: "I will cherish my body, but at the same time, I will try."

"Xia Bingqing, you really are …" She had truly lost to her.

They were talking by the stairs. In the tea room next door, a tall and straight body was standing in front of the bar. He listened to the conversation between the two girls outside and slowly stirred the coffee in his cup with a silent expression.
