Ou Xiaoning, somewhat naive, thought Shi Nuan was outdoing herself, but He Meisui didn’t think so.
He Meisui always thought Shi Nuan was a very smart girl. Whenever she didn’t understand something about her studies, she’d ask Shi Nuan, who always provided some answers.
But most of the time, after explaining, she would say, "But I’m not too sure either, so you’d better check it online!"
He Meisui checked online, and what Shi Nuan said was almost always accurate.
In the morning thesis defense, Shi Nuan amazed everyone; everyone was very surprised, but He Meisui suddenly felt, this is the real Shi Nuan.
This is what Shi Nuan should look like!
Was she jealous of Shi Nuan? Not really, she knew a bit about Shi Nuan’s experiences and encounters.
That sister of hers, Shi Jiaojiao, looked very annoying, and Shi Nuan was surviving in the crevices of the Shi Family.
Wanting to hide her talent a bit, she could understand that, and felt very sorry for Shi Nuan.
He Meisui noticed that on the day of Shi Nuan’s thesis defense, Shi Nuan’s Father was there.
Which child wouldn’t want to perform well in front of their parents, to become the pride in their father’s eyes?
Just like her, the reason she worked so hard to study, striving for excellence, wasn’t she hoping that one day that person could see her?
But it seemed he never saw her, never ever, he had never seen her!
The phone rang at that moment, He Meisui looked at the flashing name, her eyes trembled slightly.
Then she picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Your thesis defense is in the afternoon, right? What time?"
The voice on the other end was male, with a hint of recklessness.
He Meisui thought for a moment, and said: "Around three o’clock, probably!"
The male voice lightly responded "Mm" and said, "Shen Zui and I will come to cheer for you!"
He Meisui was slightly stunned: "Shen Zui is coming too?"
The male voice laughed: "How about that, thank me, although Shen Zui is not coming for you, he’s at least coming, don’t you think?"
He Meisui frowned, her face looking displeased: "Right, it’s really great that he’s coming, so he can come alone, you don’t need to!"
After saying this, she hung up the phone without waiting for a response from the other end.
But holding the phone, she felt a chill in her heart.
Shen Zui... was just an excuse she used to justifiably look for him!
The two grew up together, childhood friends for over ten years, yet he seemed never to have truly understood her!
Shen Zui and Qi Ruison were coming together to cheer for He Meisui’s thesis defense.
After some thought, He Meisui decided to tell Shi Nuan.
Even though she didn’t know what happened between Shi Nuan and Shen Zui at the hospital that day, she could tell Shi Nuan didn’t want any more entanglements with Shen Zui.
Indeed, after listening, Shi Nuan gently said: "Meisui, in the afternoon I’ll be in the dorm waiting for your good news!"
He Meisui furrowed her brows and said: "Nuannuan, actually you..."
"Meisui..." Shi Nuan interrupted her, saying: "You don’t have to convince me anymore, right now he and I... it’s really reached the point where we can’t even be friends!"
He Meisui looked at Shi Nuan, momentarily at a loss for words.
But because of Shen Zui making Shi Nuan avoid... He Meisui felt uncomfortable in her heart!
She immediately took out her phone and dialed a number directly to Qi Ruison.
Shi Nuan realized and wanted to stop her immediately, but it was already too late.
She only heard He Meisui saying to the other end: "In the afternoon, for my thesis defense, there’s no need for you and Shen Zui to come. Even if you come, I’ll drive you away. If you care about your face, don’t cross me! That’s it, I’m hanging up!"
