You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: They’re Holding Hands, They Must Be Single, Right?
Liu Qiming replied to the message, and then forwarded Chang Yuanhong’s WeChat.
Thief of the World: You two chat, I won’t bother.
Su Qin’an had just added Chang Yuanhong as a friend, when Chang Yuanhong sent a message.
Yuanhong: Qin’an?
Qin Shiqing’an: It’s me.
Yuanhong: When are you planning to come? Since I took you as my disciple, the old guys at our school have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time! It’s summer vacation now, the Ministry of Science and Technology should be on holiday, right? You should have time, right?
Qin Shiqing’an: Ah? Only they want to see me! Don’t you want to? Then I’d rather not…
Yuanhong:? Don’t push your luck, kid!
Qin Shiqing’an: Cough, just kidding!
Qin Shiqing’an: I can come over today, are you free?
Yuanhong: Yes, come over.
Qin Shiqing’an: I’ll be there in five minutes.
“Let’s go? ”
Su Qin’an took Xie Yingqing’s hand: “Let me show you my sword flight! ”
Xie Yingqing suddenly asked: “How’s your cultivation base now? ”
Su Qin’an was stunned: “It hasn’t changed, Condensation Core Sixth Stage, how…”
He suddenly saw Xie Yingqing’s mischievous smile.
“Hee hee hee, this Miss is at Condensation Core Seventh Stage now…” Xie Yingqing chuckled mischievously: “Six months have passed, do you still remember…”
“I remember, I remember! ” Su Qin’an said helplessly: “So what do Miss Xie want me to do? ”
Xie Yingqing shook her head: “Haven’t thought of it yet, let’s talk about it later! ”
“Okay. ”
Five minutes later, the two people were standing at the entrance of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Sword flight is fast, not only can it ignore the congested traffic on the ground, but it can even taunt the people stuck in traffic.
“Qin’an! ”
Chang Yuanhong actually came out to greet them personally, which caught Su Qin’an a little off guard.
“Look, there’s a handsome guy! ”
“Hey, I think I’ve seen that person before, a senior sister showed me a photo, the Dean personally sat with him during their graduation defense last time! ”
“He looks like he’s not even an adult yet, so young… Could he be the Dean’s illegitimate son? ”
“No way… But look at that girl, she’s so pretty!!”
“I, a woman, am about to fall for him…”
“Can’t you see their hands are clasped together! You’re falling for nothing…”
Even during summer vacation, Huazhong University of Science and Technology still had students who were overly studious.
Chang Yuanhong ignored the discussions around him and walked to Su Qin’an.
“You’re finally here! ”
Chang Yuanhong patted Su Qin’an on the shoulder: “Let’s go! So many old men in our school are envious of you! ”
He then looked at Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing’s hands clasped together: “The young girl is really pretty! A perfect match! You must be Xie Yingqing, right? When this boy came last time, he bragged to us for a long time about how good your relationship is! ”
Xie Yingqing smiled shyly: “Thank you, Dean Chang, for the compliment! ”
“Let’s go, don’t stand outside! ”
Chang Yuanhong smiled: “Come to my room, let’s have a good chat! ”
What Chang Yuanhong called his room was actually the Principal’s Office.
The Principal’s Office wasn’t small to begin with, but with more than a dozen professors crammed inside, both old and young, the space suddenly felt cramped.
As soon as Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an entered, they immediately felt various gazes examining them.
“Wow, Old Chang, your disciple is so young? ”
An Old Professor adjusted his glasses: “A talented person! To be accepted as your disciple at such a young age, his future is limitless! ”
None of them questioned Su Qin’an’s skills and qualifications, because they trusted Chang Yuanhong’s judgment.
“Right! ”
Chang Yuanhong looked proud: “Look at him, young people are full of vigor, and look at you guys! Why don’t you have any energy? ”
“Hey, we’re all half in the grave, how can we compare with young people in terms of energy! ”
A professor smiled: “China’s future is theirs, we’ve done all we can do! ”
“No way! Professors, you’ll live long and prosper, you still have many years to live! ”
Su Qin’an quickly said: “You are all renowned professors, Dean Chang and Minister Liu have mentioned you all to me, I’ve long admired you! ”
It was just some social interaction, at most.
Sure enough, the group of old professors were flattered, almost forgetting their own names.
“Not at all! Su, you’re a promising young man, you will surely be a pillar of the country in the future! ”
“At such a young age, you’ve already achieved success in both love and career…”
“I have to say, you’re a perfect match! ”
Xie Yingqing, who had been rather inconspicuous, smiled slightly in gratitude.
“Alright, alright, you’ve seen enough, and praised enough, can you let me chat with my disciple now? ”
Chang Yuanhong said: “Move it! ”
“Hey! Dean! We finally got to see a genius, why can’t we look a little longer! ”
“Exactly! ”
Finally, the group of old professors lingered for another half an hour before reluctantly leaving the Principal’s Office.
They looked back every three steps, as if they were looking at gold.
Next was the chat between Su Qin’an and Chang Yuanhong.
It was an academic exchange, allowing Chang Yuanhong to fulfill his duties as a master.
Initially, considering Su Qin’an was only sixteen or seventeen years old, Chang Yuanhong didn’t delve into overly profound topics.
But as the conversation progressed, he discovered that Su Qin’an’s professional expertise was extraordinary, surpassing many graduate students and doctoral candidates.
The whole process lasted about three hours, Xie Yingqing fell asleep several times while listening.
“Truly a hero among youths! ” Chang Yuanhong repeated the phrase: “This expertise… how did you learn it? Can you tell me? If your method works, I wouldn’t mind using it on others, so that talents won’t be lost so badly…”
Su Qin’an said softly: “I fell off a cliff before, it wasn’t high, but it hurt a lot.
“And then? ” Chang Yuanhong’s heart tightened: “No aftereffects? ”
“There was an old man at the bottom, he taught me all this. ”
“… ”
Xie Yingqing couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“You weren’t asleep? ”
Su Qin’an noticed Xie Yingqing’s movements and smiled, patting Xie Yingqing’s head: “I thought you were asleep! ”
“Oh, I just woke up～”
Xie Yingqing stretched: “I couldn’t understand what you were talking about, why wouldn’t I sleep? ”
“Alright, your girlfriend looks tired, do you want to walk around Huazhong University of Science and Technology? ”
Seeing this, Chang Yuanhong smiled: “Our scenery is quite nice, it’s not just classroom buildings and dormitories! ”
“Then we’ll… be honored to accept your suggestion! ”
Su Qin’an smiled, holding Xie Yingqing’s hand: “Goodbye, Dean Chang, see you next time! ”
“Still calling me Dean Chang? ”
Chang Yuanhong glared: “Don’t want to continue, huh? ”
“No, no, no! Teacher, I’m sorry! ”
Huazhong University of Science and Technology, one of the Chinese universities sanctioned by Uncle Sam, not only has strong capabilities, but also a first-class campus environment.
Even in a place as expensive as the Imperial Capital, it occupies a vast area, and even has its own lake, small mountains, and so on.
“Look at those two, look! ”
“Aren’t they the two people the Dean brought in at noon? ”
“Do you think they have partners? I want their contact information, they’re really handsome and pretty! ”
“Dude, you’re not even looking at their clasped hands! ”
Ignoring the discussions around them, the two unknowingly walked to the lakeside.
“It’s so beautiful here! ”
Xie Yingqing couldn’t help but say: “Look, there’s a woods over there… and someone is playing the flute! ”
Su Qin’an listened carefully and found it to be true.
The flute music came from near the woods by the lake. The tune was familiar, even Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an could sing it.
“…Brew a pot of life and death joy and sorrow to sacrifice the young man
The moonlight is still there, why the melancholy
It’s better to live freely and experience the wind and waves
A song at the end of the world together, melodious…”
It’s 《Unrestrained》.
