Chapter 339: 130 prestigious families, a fortunate encounter _3
Just as he brushed past her on the road, he noticed Bai Lian’s extremely attractive face and took a second glance.
Others often looked bulky in down jackets, but Bai Lian appeared unusually slender in her white cotton coat embroidered with delicate vines and cats, her tall figure, pale skin, and her face was beautiful without being coquettish, her gaze lazy.
“Who is that?” Gao Jiachen turned his head to take another look.
The staff by his side looked back, “Probably a student participating in the training camp.”
Gao Jiachen nodded.
Bai Lian arrived at the publicity office, just as a group of people also reached the school gate.
Almost at the same time as her.
The publicity office.
The person in charge and Academician Ma were both there, the room was heated, and Bai Lian went to close the door without thinking.
Academician Ma put down his teacup and raised his hand, “No need to close the door, come in and sit.”
Bai Lian didn’t close the door.
Seeing that the person Academician Ma was waiting for was Bai Lian, the person in charge of the publicity office wasn’t surprised either, having seen more surprising things before, “Student Bai, have some tea.”
He poured a hot cup of tea for Bai Lian.
“Thank you.” Bai Lian expressed her gratitude to him.
The person in charge waved his hands in a hurry, “Don’t mention it.”
He sat back down and observed Bai Lian discreetly, wondering what was so special about this student that he wasn’t aware of, as both Young Master Jiang and Academician Ma seemed to treat her quite uniquely.
“Why don’t you study dark matter?” Academician Ma was forthright with Bai Lian, as they had been communicating on WeChat for several months.
Both were academic elitists.
The person in charge complained internally, Academician Ma was as direct as ever, and dark matter wasn’t something just anyone could study. There were only two dark matter research institutes in the country, and it wasn’t easy to get in; even Doctor Gao couldn’t.
Bai Lian finished her tea, “I’m not interested.”
The person in charge: “…?”
What? Not interested?
The person in charge, who was blowing on his tea, almost burned himself.
“That’s right, quantum mechanics is more interesting.” Academician Ma nodded, obviously very pleased, took a sip of his tea, looked up, saw the person in charge, and directly pointed out the issue with a smooth face, “You have some tea leaves there.”
He pointed at the corner of the person in charge’s mouth.
The person in charge hurriedly wiped his mouth, embarrassed in front of Academician Ma.
“I have a seminar on quantum chips in a couple of days,” Academician Ma invited Bai Lian, “Do you have time to come? You’ll find quantum mechanics even more interesting.”
“Which day?” Bai Lian was considering the time of Xu En’s wedding.
Academician Ma was frank, “It was just decided; I need to discuss the timing with my team.”
“I’m occupied on the nineteenth of January,” Bai Lian replied.
“Then I’ll schedule around that,” Academician Ma quickly decided.
Academician Ma was always busy, and it wasn’t easy for him to spend the morning here. After finishing his conversation with Bai Lian, he picked up his coat, and they went out together.
Bai Lian escorted Academician Ma to the main entrance.
The publicity office was close to the main gate.
**
The entrance to Boyuan Base.
Lady Song, wrapped in her fur coat, smiled at Bai Shaoqi beside her, “Amin is too busy right now. When he’s free, he’ll show us around. I’ll take you to try on the evening gown you’ll be wearing.”
Bai Shaoqi took a photo of the Boyuan Base on her phone.
She had spent the whole previous day at the Jiangjing Music Academy and had finally found a chance today to come out with Lady Song to find Bai Shaoke and Song Min. Boyuan Base, a sacred place in the hearts of students across the country, would make it a little easier for her to commit to a volunteer position or find a lab in the future.
But Bai Shaoqi had no connections to get a recommendation, and Bai Shaoke was still a freshman.
Just catching a glimpse of Boyuan Base was quite an achievement for Bai Shaoqi.
She looked down, opened her Moments, and selected four photos: one of the gate of the music academy, one of herself practicing piano, one of the gate of Boyuan Base, and one of Song Min’s silhouette, with the caption:
[Keep it up]
Right after posting, a bunch of comments popped up.
—— Jiangjing Music Academy! Boyuan Base!
—— It’s really just you guys, we mortals can only look up.
—— The white figure in the bottom left corner of the third photo seems a bit familiar.
—— Damn, haha, of course you guys would find it familiar. Doesn’t it resemble the one who was driven out of your class?
—— Class rep of Second Year: Now that you mention it, it does look like her, damn it’s so unlucky.
—— Ever since she left, our class’s atmosphere has gotten much better.
Comments like these were endless, and Bai Shaoqi saw them too. She had the original picture, which was clearer than the one in the Moments.
She enlarged the original, and the figure in the picture wasn’t very clear, only the side face was captured, but the person’s temperament and appearance stood out so much that she was noticeable in a crowd. However, the difference from the dissolute Bai Lian in Bai Shaoqi’s memory was too great; she wasn’t sure.
Bai Shaoqi turned back and looked in that direction, where she could still see that white figure that hadn’t gone far.
By her side, seeing her suddenly stop, Lady Song was somewhat surprised and turned to look as well.
“Is that—” Lady Song was stunned, “Bai Lian?”
