Ji Ya remembered this well since her Math teacher had brought it up to her earlier.
Ji Ya’s teacher had even photocopied Huo Yao’s answers to study them, and she happened to see them. The solutions were undoubtedly intriguing. The questions were so tricky that it would have probably taken her a few days to do them and she was not even certain about getting them right.
Ji Ya’s teacher had wanted to ask Huo Yao to join the Math department after the college entrance exams, but the other departments had beaten him to it, so her teacher was very upset about it at the time.
The lift chimed when it arrived on the ground floor. Director Chen spoke to Ji Ya as he walked out of the lift. “That’s right. That’s her.”
Ji Ya followed beside Director Chen without slowing down and said in surprise, “She is brilliant. I can see why Prof Rong thinks so highly of her.”
Director Chen smiled and said encouragingly, “You are not half bad yourself. Just work hard.”
Ji Ya shook her head modestly and replied. “In that case, I will leave you to it and head back to the department.”
“Sure thing.” Director Chen waved his hand.
Ji Ya stood where she was and watched from behind as Director Chen left. She kept thinking about where she had met the girl before.

Meanwhile, inside Prof Rong’s office.
Rong Jun was chatting with Huo Yao. “Have you been busy recently?”
Huo Yao sat on the couch with her back straight. She contemplated briefly before she answered. “Uh huh. A little. I am working on a project in the Biology department.”
Rong Jun sighed on hearing this. “No wonder you haven’t been coming over to visit me.”
Huo Yao pursed her lips. She replied. “Haven’t I been handing in my work on time?”
Rong Jun glanced at Huo Yao. Was it only about homework? He wanted her to spend time in the Physics department.
Should she not treat her second major equally seriously?
‘Was it not good enough for her attention?
Huo Yao automatically disregarded Prof Rong’s indignant stares. She cleared her throat and said, “Prof Rong, why did you ask to see me?”
Rong Jun felt stifled when he heard his salutation. He instantly said in an annoying voice, “What professor? I am your teacher.”
Huo Yao went quiet.
Were all professors so two-faced these days? They seemed to be completely different when people were watching.
Rong Jun cleared his throat. He picked up some goji berry drink and took a sip before he said, “It’s nothing. Although you major in Biology, Physics is equally important.”
He had planned on letting Director Chen see her. After all, connections were very important in the academic world.
Huo Yao acknowledged softly. “Okay...”
She paused briefly before she changed her words. “... Teacher.”
Rong Jun raised his brow and his mood instantly lifted. He nodded. “That’s more like it.”
The term professor sounded formal and ‘teacher’ sounded more intimate.
Rong Jun recalled something and looked at Huo Yao again. He asked her curiously. “I heard that Prof Zhao wants to accept a disciple. Do you know who it is?”
“I don’t know either. I don’t really pay attention to his personal affairs,” replied Huo Yao, shaking her head.
Rong Jun smiled even more brightly. He nodded and said, “Just focus on studying. Don’t bother paying any attention to irrelevant things.”
Huo Yao quietly glanced at Prof Rong without saying another word.
