Suddenly, he remembered the countless times tonight he had wanted to blurt something out, only to swallow his words again.

She fished the last cherry-flavored candy out of her pocket.

And handed it to Jiang Fulai.

“What?” Jiang Fulai also got out of the car—he wouldn’t leave until he had watched Bai Lian enter the alleyway.

Bai Lian opened her hand and placed the red and green wrapped candy in his palm. Her fingers were slender, and under the dim streetlight, they looked like cold jade soaked in water.

“The aunty on the bus gave it to me this morning,” Bai Lian looked up, met his eyes, flashed a very brief but earnest smile and said, “You’ve worked hard, Teacher Jiang.”

She always regarded people around her as if they were observers passing through this mortal world.

Even her smiles seemed casual and never reached the depths of her eyes.

She was like duckweed, and if one wasn’t careful, she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Yet now, hers was an utterly pure smile; she tilted her head up slightly, the scattered light of the streetlamps reflecting in her dark apricot eyes, lazy and diffuse, hard for anyone to resist being struck by.

Jiang Fulai watched her pick up her schoolbag, turn around, and casually wave at him before walking into the alley.

He clenched the candy in his palm.

Back in the car, something suddenly occurred to him, and he sent out a message.

[Has your lab finally gone bankrupt?]

A certain academician woke from his dream—IWhat?]

Jiang Fulai sneered; Jiangjing University’s preparatory camp had only one slot available, which was no different from going bankrupt.

The eighth-grade homeroom teacher had stayed up all night, flipping through the Jiangjing University book from cover to cover.

Then he took photos of every single page.

Chen Zhu went to the office to submit his homework in the morning and, upon leaving, saw the book on the teacher’s desk. He hesitated for a moment.

The title on the book was very clear— “Physics at Jiangjing University.”

Most students who had participated in competitions had heard of this book— authored by several well-respected academicians from the Physics Department at Jiangjing University. It was highly valuable.

It also contained experimental data from several major domestic laboratories.

To prevent it from falling into foreign hands, this book was circulated only within Jiangjing University.

The control over it was strict.

The Dr. Gao hired by the Ren Family also came from Jiangjing University, but this Dr. Gao was extremely arrogant. It was hard to even meet him, as he would only send them the answers to problems every day.

He wouldn’t say a single extra word.

The students held the teachers from Jiangjing University in high esteem, hardly daring to speak too much, let alone asking him for the book.

How did the homeroom teacher come by this book?

“Teacher,” Chen Zhu stared at the book in his hands, “Can 1 take a look at that book?”

The eighth- grade homeroom teacher, his eyes bleary from a night without sleep, barely looked up, then calmly put away the book and refused, “No, and it’s not mine either.’

Chen Zhu was taken aback; he had thought the homeroom teacher was lending them the book.

The eighth grade.

“What’s wrong?” Ren Wanxuan noticed him zoning out while they were collecting papers.

Chen Zhu mentioned the matter to her, and Ren Wanxuan clenched the papers, “Are you sure it’s Jiangjing Physics?”

“Yes,” Chen Zhu nodded.

Both of them had evidently heard of Jiangjing Physics.

“Why wouldn’t the homeroom teacher lend it to us?” Ren Wanxuan couldn’t understand after getting confirmation.

She and Chen Zhu never thought there would come a day when the homeroom teacher would refuse them.

“Maybe it’s too precious,” Chen Zhu pressed against his brow, “We’ll have to figure out another way.”

No matter what, they needed to get their hands on that book.

In the evening.

The same group of top students attended the tutorage class.

At seven-thirty, after the video was played.

The eighth- grade homeroom teacher covertly called Bai Lian out, returned the book to her, and reminded her, “Keep this book safe.”

“Oh.” Bai Lian took it slowly and tilted her head, “I’ll ask Ning Xiao and the others if they want to take a look, and then I’ll bring it back to you.”

The eyes of the eighth-grade homeroom teacher lit up, “Alright, you can go back now. ”

The auditorium.

Ren Wanxuan and the others began to pack up their things to leave early.

They couldn’t keep Dr. Gaffs teaching assistant waiting.

Chen Zhu glanced in the direction of the homeroom teacher and then, as he withdrew his gaze, suddenly saw Bai Lian beside him.

Bai Lian had just returned to her seat.

She was putting a book back into her schoolbag. Normally, he wouldn’t pay attention to Bai Lian or bother with what she was reading.

However, today he recognized that book—

It was the “Physics at Jiangjing University” he had seen on the homeroom teacher’s desk that morning.

Chen Zhu took a deep breath.

A feeling of incomprehension and disappointment surged to his forehead. The students from the eighth grade, relative to others in the school, held a sense of superiority, which made his incomprehension all the greater.

Why would the homeroom teacher rather lend the book to possibly clueless

Bai Lian instead of to him and Ren Wanxuan?
