The dean nodded in satisfaction and chatted with Yu Zhao about her studies.

In the end, he patted Yu Zhao’s shoulder and told her to study hard.

Yu Zhao listened patiently and responded to them one by one.

“Alright, that’s all for today’s punishment. Don’t climb walls in the future. It’s not safe.” The homeroom teacher waved his hand, signaling Yu Zhao to go back.

“Wait a minute, Yu Zhao. Come with me to the office.” The Head of the Academic Affairs Office, Li Hai, appeared out of nowhere and called Yu Zhao away.

Yu Zhao followed him to the office.

In front of the office desk, the head knocked on the table and looked at Yu Zhao. “Yu Zhao, do you know why I called you here?”

“Please enlighten me, Head Li.” Yu Zhao shook her head.

Li Hai said, “The warning letter was blocked by the son of the school director, Chairman Jiang last time. Even so, I still have to teach you a lesson. It’s not a good habit to hit people.”

“Oh.” Yu Zhao nodded, looking as if she was humbly accepting his advice.

The Head of the Academic Affairs Office choked, “What do you mean by ‘oh’?”

Yu Zhao raised her head and looked at him with an honest gaze. “Head Li, why don’t you explain in more detail?”

The head almost spat out a mouthful of blood after being retorted by her. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Student Yu Zhao, so you want to do it the hard way, huh?”

Yu Zhao raised her eyebrow. “Head Li,” she said, “You’ve already said that my superior is Director Jiang. He’s protecting me. Are you sure you want to fall out with me?”

Hearing this, Li Hai was immediately silent.

The young girl in front of him did not look like a female college student at all. She was just like a hooligan.

“Is there anything else, Head Li? If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” After saying that, Yu Zhao turned and left as if Li Hai had just farted.

After leaving the teachers’ office building, Yu Zhao suddenly remembered something. She took out her phone and looked at her WeChat.

The system sent a notification, ‘You have a new friend notification’.

She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something. She had forgotten to accept Jiang Zhe’s friend request.

After clicking “agree,” they officially became friends.

She glanced at Jiang Zhe’s profile picture. It was pure black. In contrast to her, she was pure white.

However, she was too lazy to change her profile picture, and no one should notice this detail.

Just as she was about to exit WeChat, Jiang Zhe suddenly called her.

“Hello?” Yu Zhao pressed the answer button.

“I don’t think you saved my number.” Jiang Zhe’s low and warm voice came into her ears, with a hint of laziness.

“I’ve forgotten,” Yu Zhao said indifferently.

“You’re running pretty well.”

Hearing Jiang Zhe’s words, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yu Zhao’s mouth. “Do you have x-ray vision?”

“You just didn’t notice,” Jiang Zhe scoffed and said frankly, “I’m in Biology Lab 1. Come over.”

Yu Zhao raised her eyebrows, turned the phone in her hand, and hung up.

After a while, she found the Biology Lab.

Yu Zhao pushed the door open and looked around.

The spacious and bright room was neatly arranged. There were rows of test tube racks opposite the window, on which all kinds of potion bottles were placed.

Yu Zhao walked straight in and sat down at the seat closest to the window. Her gaze fell on Jiang Zhe, who was experimenting not far away.

He was wearing a blue shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his arms, revealing his exquisite collarbones.

He turned his face to the side, his nose high and his thin lips pursed tightly. “As promised, you have to track my real-time physical condition.”

Yu Zhao nodded, her fingers resting on the armrest. “Alright.”

Seeing her so serious, Jiang Zhe couldn’t help but look at her again.

She had a ponytail, and her hair fell down her forehead, covering her beautiful eyes and brows, but not her fair and flawless face.

“What’s wrong?” Feeling the gaze on her, Yu Zhao raised her eyes to look at him.

Jiang Zhe retracted his gaze. “Nothing.”

Thus, the two of them fell into silence.

After a long while, Jiang Zhe slowly said, “You ran so fast, but why is your face not red and your heart not beating fast?”

Hearing this, a strange feeling flashed through Yu Zhao’s heart.

Was he preparing to fish for information when she was caught off guard?

Yu Zhao blinked her eyes and said nonchalantly, “Don’t you know that there’s an opportunistic method called a shortcut?”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Zhe frowned.

“It’s very simple. I was wearing the same clothes as my roommate, and our hair was also tied up. She ran half the distance for me.”

Jiang Zhe was dazed for a moment and then laughed.

This little girl is interesting.
