Chapter 38
Lin Jianzhi, who was alone in the hotel, began to flip through Zhu Liheng's Weibo posts over and over again.
She realized that her understanding of him in the past was only superficial.
Apart from knowing that he liked basketball and physics, she couldn't learn anything else about him through Weibo.
His Weibo was as simple as his room, without any extra content.
Lin Jianzhi really wanted to know if Zhu Liheng had a third favorite thing other than physics and basketball.
Just as her thoughts were drifting, she opened Zhu Liheng's "following" list.
She had flipped through it before, but at that time she didn't have a clear concept of who was who, and was completely unaware of the relationships between them.
But now at a glance, many people were connected.
Especially when she pulled the list to the very bottom, the first user Zhu Liheng followed was his teacher, the titan of quantum mechanics in China, Xiong Pengtian.
Lin Jianzhi had never looked at Professor Xiong's Weibo before. Judging from his profile picture, he was already very old, a white-haired old man.
Unlike Zhu Liheng who became popular in and out of the physics community due to his good looks, very few people followed Xiong Pengtian, and people outside the physics community would not come looking for him at all.
She was suddenly curious what kind of person his teacher was.
Who would have thought that when she opened Professor Xiong's Weibo, she was astonished to discover that the Zhu Liheng content was extremely high!
Lin Jianzhi suddenly felt like she had discovered a new world, and read through Professor Xiong's Weibo along the timeline from the earliest time point.
That was two years ago, Xiong Pengtian had posted many Weibo posts in a row:
"What the hell is A University doing again? Annoying!"
"Are these supervisors crazy? Staring at a new student! Just because he got full marks in physics and math! How silly!"
"No, I have to join in the fun, snatch the boy they eyed!"
Just like that, Xiong Pengtian overwhelmed everyone with his absolute status, defeated a group of supervisors at A University who wanted to take on disciples prematurely, and took Zhu Liheng as his closed-door disciple.
The two then began a series of daily life that astonished Lin Jianzhi!
Xiong Pengtian's thinking was unconventional. He liked to eat home cooked meals, watch movies while scolding people, and even argue with stray dogs on the street when drunk...
For a period of time, Zhu Liheng was like a little follower, following him while not only learning, but also taking care of the elderly teacher, and along the way cleaning up the eccentric old man's rotten moods.
At some point, the little follower became a capable assistant, and the old teacher became his mentor and friend.
In an extremely good environment, Zhu Liheng was deeply exposed to physics knowledge that he could not learn in his sophomore classroom.
And he successfully stepped into the world of quantum mechanics!
The spiritual spark that the two collided in the field of physics, although Lin Jianzhi could not understand, she understood the feeling of finding a confidant.
How nice!
Lin Jianzhi watched it as if she was watching a little story, completely absorbed in it.
But the bliss suddenly took a sharp turn a year ago!
Professor Xiong was hospitalized.
Zhu Liheng began running between Yanjing and Yanling, extremely busy, and even slept less than 4 hours a day for a whole month.
Lin Jianzhi felt so distressed watching this.
Two months later Professor Xiong was discharged from the hospital. Although he returned to his research, his health was much worse than before.
He gradually handed over the affairs of the lab to Zhu Liheng...
This closed-door disciple made him very proud!
Seeing this, Lin Jianzhi was already moist around the eyes, with big teardrops falling on the pillow.
So he was so busy, bearing burdens on his shoulders that she could not imagine!
That lab was the future of quantum mechanics!
Yet she foolishly kept thinking about dating, even disturbing his condition.
She really, should not have done that!
Lin Jianzhi cried while wiping away her tears. Her eyes had always been prone to tearing up easily, now her heart ached and was filled with guilt that she couldn't even breathe.
Soon, she saw the two latest Weibo posts from two months ago.
"Xiong Pengtian: My little disciple doesn't need me anymore."
"Xiong Pengtian: Little disciple! Master wants to eat ice cream!"
Lin Jianzhi was taken aback upon seeing this, and checked the time.
Oh, wasn't this during the time of her college entrance exam?
So Zhu Liheng was...
Lin Jianzhi was both moved and surprised. She continued reading down the timeline.
"Xiong Pengtian: Outstanding! My little disciple is outstanding! I'm gonna have a disciple daughter-in-law hahaha!"
Looking at the time, it was the day the college entrance exam scores came out.
Lin Jianzhi: "???"
She was stunned, what did that mean, the disciple daughter-in-law Professor Xiong mentioned, who was that?
Her heart suddenly "thumped", nearly missing a beat!
Finally, she also saw the two latest Weibo posts from today.
"Xiong Pengtian: No! My little disciple seems to be clueless about love! He took a girl to a hotel but didn't do anything! Will I get to witness his wedding in my lifetime? I still want to be his witness at the wedding!"
"Xiong Pengtian: Got it! My little disciple won't let me watch..."
Lin Jianzhi looked at this content in shock, as well as the timing.
Today, wasn't it when she was with Zhu Liheng, and there was even a driver watching them?
Professor Xiong knew about it?
How did he know!
Lin Jianzhi let out a shriek. She was eating melon but it turned out to be about herself, and was so embarrassed she couldn't lift her head up.
That meant, her and Zhu Liheng checking into this hotel, had been reported to Professor Xiong throughout the process by the driver?
Ah!!!
Who else knew?
How did Professor Xiong post everything!
Lin Jianzhi was so anxious she nearly jumped up, then became extremely embarrassed with a flushed red face.
And so she spent the entire afternoon in an extremely anxious emotional state.
Not until it turned dark outside, then came a knock on the door.
Lin Jianzhi gave another startled jump and ran to open the door.
Whoosh!
As soon as she opened the door, it was Zhu Liheng holding a backpack looking at her.
Lin Jianzhi opened her mouth wanting to say something.
But Zhu Liheng had already walked in, closed the door, and put down the bag on the floor.
Lin Jianzhi looked at that bag, her mind unable to think straight.
Zhu Liheng gave a faint smile looking at her. "I'll accompany you these few days."
Lin Jianzhi immediately thought of the content she saw on Weibo, and hurriedly shook her head in fright. "No, no need, you're so busy! And..."
You even brought a bag with you, which clearly contains change of clothes.
Could he be planning to stay with her?
She really couldn't muster the courage to ask outright.
Zhu Liheng took a step closer. "And what?"
Lin Jianzhi's face betrayed her once more, blushing again, retreating all the way back until her back was against the wall. "And there's only one bed."
After saying that, her face had already turned blood red, even the skin around her eyes took on a crimson tinge.
Zhu Liheng moved closer once again. "Yeah, so what's wrong with one bed?"
Lin Jianzhi's mind went "boom", her whole body nearly going mad!
Zhu Liheng, you knew perfectly well what you were asking!
But Zhu Liheng not only showed no intention to explain, he even daringly moved closer.
Until Lin Jianzhi had retreated as much as she could, and Zhu Liheng could advance no more.
He reached out, cupping her face.
Lowering his head for a kiss.
As their lips rubbed against each other, his voice sounded. "Lin Jianzhi, be with me."
