The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent-Chapter 111 - Gossip About the School Hunk

They were a little sad.

Zhang Zhengwen smiled and said, “That girl has her own path to take in the future. All we can do is give her a push. As for how far she can go, it’s up to her.”

Professor Lin was the most sentimental one. Over the years, she had been the closest to Xiao Ying. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

She was originally happy that the university finally had a female student who could become her successor. Unexpectedly, her achievements had long surpassed that of the university.

The group of them was sad, yet proud. They looked at each other and smiled before walking away slowly.

Unaware of what had occurred outside, Xiao Ying helped the graduate students organize their research report and helped them practice conducting the experiment.

They thanked her and left.

Seeing that it was already very late, Xiao Ying gave up on looking for Zhou Yao.

Little did she know that Zhou Yao had been punished by the teacher to stand for an entire afternoon because he had skipped class and had only been let go just now.

Zhou Yao was still holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand preciously. It was… given to him by Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying left the school and returned to her apartment.

When she got home, Cheng Yang was not back yet. There was already food on the table.

Xiao Ying touched it. It was still warm, indicating that Cheng Yang had just gone out.

She felt strange.

A message suddenly came from her phone.

Cheng Yang sent her a message saying that he was going out for a few days and wanted her to take good care of herself.

He had already arranged for people to prepare meals for her.

Xiao Ying’s heart warmed, and she couldn’t help but smile.

The next day, when Xiao Ying arrived at school, she went straight to the first-year lecture hall.

She was pretty sure Zhou Yao was in Year One Class Three.

When the first-year students saw her, they greeted her warmly, and Xiao Ying smiled back at them.

Her gentle and humble side made everyone like her even more.

Under the crowd’s gaze, she walked to Class Three’s classroom. Looking in from the door, she easily spotted Zhou Yao sitting by the window.

Xiao Ying smiled and asked the students in the front row to call Zhou Yao for her.

Only then did Zhou Yao see Xiao Ying at the door.

Xiao Ying was standing at the door looking at him. Zhou Yao felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

His expression remained cold, but only he knew that his palms were already sweating.

He gulped before getting up and walking towards her.

The students looked at the two of them, their eyes burning with gossip.

There had never been much gossip about Xiao Ying, though everyone was very interested in her personal life.

The moment the two of them left, the classroom exploded.

Everyone was discussing whether Xiao Ying and Zhou Yao were together.

Someone mentioned that they had just seen them eating together in the cafeteria yesterday.

This made everyone think that the relationship was confirmed.

Not long after, the news was spread through all the first-years.

They didn’t even know whether to be envious of Zhou Yao for having the beauty in his arms or if they should congratulate Xiao Ying for scoring the school hunk.

They just thought that the two of them were quite compatible standing together.

Xiao Ying brought Zhou Yao downstairs and asked, “Zhou Yao, I want to ask you a question. Have you used the instrument from yesterday before?”

Zhou Yao paused and nodded. “I saw my uncle use it.”

Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up. “Who is your uncle?”

“Academician Cheng Yao from the Chinese Academy of Sciences,” Zhou Yao said calmly.

“Academician Cheng Yao is your uncle?” Xiao Ying asked in surprise.

Zhou Yao nodded.

Xiao Ying continued to ask, “Then have you participated in any research?”

Zhou Yao nodded, then added, “Not much.”

Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up even further as she said, “Are you interested in joining the university’s research team?”

Zhou Yao looked at her and nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Ying was even happier. “Members of the school’s research team need to undergo an evaluation. You can register with the principal. As long as you pass, we’ll be comrades.”

On the way back, Zhou Yao kept thinking about Xiao Ying’s words.

Comrades… ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Xiao Ying returned to the research lab happily and continued with the experiment she had been working on yesterday.

After she was done, she casually checked her phone.
