Chapter 119: Chapter 118: The Heart of an Apprentice
The classmates finally got to see the old professor discover that the “slacker” was none other than Gu Huai, and they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The old professor laughed as well, “When I came over just now, I ran into your advisor, who said that you stayed up all night working on an experiment, and he only sent you to sleep this morning, but look… you’ve come to my class to sleep?”
The classmates chuckled again upon hearing this.
No one had expected that the big shot had actually been up all night running experiments, so it’s no wonder he fell asleep in class!
Gu Huai spoke helplessly, “I’m sorry, Professor. I was originally here to listen and learn, but I accidentally fell asleep.”
The old professor spoke with satisfaction, “You all see, no matter how far you’ve come in your studies, you should always keep the heart of an apprentice! Gu Huai’s spirit is truly praiseworthy!”
...
Everyone in unison, “We heard——”
Old professor, “Good, then you come up here and write the correct answer for everyone.”
Gu Huai nodded, walked to the lectern, picked up a piece of chalk, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt a few turns at the wrist first, then turned to face the blackboard. After quickly scanning it, he began to write the answer, his fluid and dashing handwriting matched his elegant and free-spirited presence…
Apart from that, many people noticed the conspicuously pink piggy hair tie on Gu Huai’s wrist the moment he raised his hand.
Also appearing on his wrist was a red string bracelet…
Down in the audience, Song Qiuqiu’s eyes were nearly popping out from behind her glasses. She excitedly grabbed Jiang Lang’s arm, “What… what is that?”
Jiang Lang almost cried out from the pinch, “Ow——ssss! Let go, let go! Ow ow ow! What is what?”
Song Qiuqiu, “It’s that thing on the god’s wrist!”
Jiang Lang, “Isn’t that just a piggy hair tie? Haven’t you already gossiped about it once?”
“What! Not the piggy hair tie, but that red string. From my observations, that’s not just any red string; there’s a Solidarity Knot in the middle. It’s a Solidarity Knot bracelet! These bracelets are usually a pair! Only couples wear them!” Song Qiuqiu spoke in a hushed tone.
Jiang Lang was utterly confused, “Ah? Is that so? You have sharp eyes!”
Song Qiuqiu, “Where did that red string come from?”
Jiang Lang, “How would I know that!”
Su Xiaotang stuck her head out and asked, “Does Ling Feng know?”
Ling Feng shook his head in bewilderment too, “I noticed he’s been wearing that thing for a few days now, but I have no idea where it came from.”
Song Qiuqiu shook her head and sighed, “What use are you guys!”
While Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang were pressing Jiang Lang and Ling Feng for answers, others were gossiping too.
Quite a few people whispered, “Whoa! Look at our boss flaunting new gear!”
“It’s even a Solidarity Knot bracelet!”
“One little hair tie wasn’t enough, so now there’s a Solidarity Knot! Isn’t that a bit too showy for the boss?”
“So, the question arises again! Who exactly is the boss’s mysterious girlfriend? How come nobody has figured out who she is after all this time? Everyone’s efficiency is way too low!”
“Didn’t think the boss would be so public about dating! Since it’s all out in the open anyway, why not just show off the girlfriend? Strange!”
…
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang, upon hearing the murmurs of a few girls behind them, wholeheartedly agreed!
They also really wanted to know who she was!
Previously, the piggy hair tie could be explained as being worn to avoid trouble on purpose, but what about the Solidarity Knot?
This time it must be real, right?
