Liang Gao analyzed the situation and thought it probably wasn’t as worrisome as Xie Feiyang feared.
"Oh, I get it, Director Liang, I’m getting up right now."
Xie Feiyang didn’t ponder any further, quickly got out of bed, dressed, took just two minutes to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then left the dormitory with a piece of bread in his hand.
"Xie Feiyang, one more thing. When you go to see Principal Ding, could you swing by the second cafeteria and pick up some breakfast for him? He must have had some drinks last night and has just gotten up without having breakfast yet."
Liang Gao hurriedly reminded him.
"Got it, understood."
Upon hearing this, Xie Feiyang dashed straight to the second cafeteria.
"Director Liang, is Principal Ding so busy that he doesn’t even have time for breakfast?" a student from the dormitory curiously asked.
"Why are you asking about Principal Ding’s business? Don’t you have classes?" Liang Gao gave the student a stern look.
"I don’t have classes in the morning."
"No classes? Then why don’t you get some more sleep!" Liang Gao finished speaking and walked away.
After arriving at the second cafeteria, Xie Feiyang assembled a standard breakfast combo for Principal Ding, consisting of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and porridge. To avoid getting there with the breakfast cooled down, he continued to sprint all the way to Principal Ding’s apartment building.
Ding Yue heard the doorbell and thought it might be Xie Feiyang visiting, so he came to open the door.
"Good morning, Principal Ding!"
Ding Yue paused for a moment, then turned to check the time; it seemed it really was morning already.
"Principal Ding, here’s the breakfast you asked for." Xie Feiyang quickly handed over the breakfast.
After receiving the breakfast, Ding Yue smiled and said, "Come on in."
Then Ding Yue took the breakfast to the dining table, opened it up, and began to eat.
"Wow, Principal Ding, that must be Big White, right?"
This was Xie Feiyang’s first visit to Principal Ding’s apartment, and it indeed seemed quite comfortable, with brand-new furniture, appliances, and even a robot named Big White.
Big White was already well known among the students of Mist City Arts and Science University.
It was said that Ding Yue’s Big White was the original health care robot of its kind and was now exploring the field of artificial intelligence. So, it must be a smart version of Big White now, right?
Principal Ding’s apartment was also impressively spacious, featuring a large flat layout with floor-to-ceiling windows, making it absolutely delightful.
But as the head of a university, it was normal for him to live in such a fine apartment.
"Principal Ding, what did you want to see me about?"
Since it was Xie Feiyang’s first visit and considering Principal Ding was a school leader, Xie Feiyang felt a bit nervous and out of his element.
"Sit down, sit down. I’ll eat my breakfast and talk to you at the same time. Have you eaten?" Ding Yue invited Xie Feiyang to sit and casually asked.
"I had a piece of bread when I left the dormitory," Xie Feiyang replied.
"Then come sit with me and have something more. A piece of bread isn’t enough, and besides, I probably can’t finish this breakfast by myself."
Ding Yue warmly invited Xie Feiyang to join him for breakfast.
Xie Feiyang was momentarily stunned, instantly feeling that Principal Ding, who was so dearly respected by the more than thirty thousand students of the school, truly deserved his admiration. He was approachable, not at all aloof, and didn’t have that distance that often exists between ordinary people and their leaders.
He made one feel as though they were friends.
