The news about the lecture quickly spread around the school.
At the dormitory during lunchtime.
As Tian Yu gnawed on chicken feet, she said, "I heard the school invited an expert to give a lecture this afternoon. It seems he’s from the research institute of Jing University next door. His name is Xu Weiran, and I heard he’s super handsome! We don’t have any classes this afternoon, so why don’t we go take a look?"
Xue Xian lifted her head from her book and asked, "Wait, what did you just say the expert’s name was?"
Xue Xian then turned to Sheng Ning’an and said, "I remember that An’an’s boyfriend also has that name?" And he was from Jing University’s research institute as well.
After the incident with the photos online, everyone knew that Sheng Ning’an had a boyfriend from Jing University’s research institute.
And that he was very handsome.
Tian Yu also realized it and turned to look at Sheng Ning’an, "It can’t be such a coincidence, right? I thought the name sounded familiar."
And it was just that much of a coincidence!
"It’s him," Sheng Ning’an confirmed.
Before, they only knew that her boyfriend worked at Jing University’s research institute. Since Jing University graduates could have a chance to join the institute, they didn’t pay much attention at the beginning.
But an expert invited by the school to give a lecture was certainly not just any researcher.
He had to be someone at the level of an expert professor.
Who would have thought, the guy turned out to be a big shot!
Tian Yu asked Sheng Ning’an with a smile, "What’s it like having a big shot boyfriend?"
Sheng Ning’an: "Some big shot, he just published a few papers and won some awards, that’s all."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Xu Weiran’s credentials were indeed quite impressive. But she had three Jing University graduates in her family, all outstanding in their fields, and not much less accomplished than him.
Sheng Ning’an honestly didn’t think it was a big deal.
Of course, it was also somewhat impressive.
"Just that, and no more? Aren’t those ordinary awards? Those are international awards for scientific research." If they didn’t know her personality well, they might even think she was being modest to the point of arrogance.
Something occurred to Tian Yu, and she asked, "Did you already know about it?"
There was no way her boyfriend would come to give a lecture at the school without telling her.
Sheng Ning’an: "Yes, the tutor talked to me last time, and besides the matter of the video, he also hoped that he could come to our school for a lecture."
So it turned out she was the one who had facilitated the connection.
This girl really knew how to keep her cool; she hadn’t breathed a word about it.
"I heard that one normally gets the chance to join a research institute only after graduating from a master’s program, and usually, you need to be a postdoctoral fellow to be considered an expert. Isn’t your boyfriend in his thirties then?" At that moment, Shi Yue pretended to be surprised and asked.
As soon as her words fell, the dormitory suddenly fell quiet.
Sheng Ning’an looked at her coldly.
By asking that question, she was simply implying that Ning’an was with an old man.
Shi Yue met her gaze, covered her lips with her hand, and said with an innocent tone, "Did I say something wrong?"
At this moment, Tian Yu and Xue Xian also snapped out of it and started making excuses, "Actually, it’s not bad for a guy to be a bit older. Isn’t there a saying that older men are more caring? And from the photos, An’an’s boyfriend is handsome and doesn’t look in his thirties at all."
"Yeah! I heard that people who delve into research don’t have time for relationships, so it must have been our An’an who picked up a good deal!"
"Hehe, you’re right. An’an, don’t mind me. I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just purely curious," Shi Yue said, looking in Ning An’s direction with a smile on her face, but her eyes clearly conveyed a hint of disdain.
