The few people who were there, exchanged looks with each other when they heard this.

If that was really the case, then... the related rumors should be fake.

After all, if Ning Li had really done something inappropriate, she would not dare to bring her so-called boyfriend to meet people publically, right?

Xue Langlang glanced at Yao Mingjia and frowned slightly.

Ning Li had only mentioned this once and nothing had been settled yet. It was really inappropriate for Yao Mingjia to say this to these people.

However, the words had already left her mouth and she could not take them back.

Moreover, it seemed that this statement was able to suppress the rumors.

She did not want to talk with them anymore, so she turned around and quickly walked away.

Yao Mingjia sensed her displeasure and shrugged.

Another person beside her asked curiously,?“Yao Mingjia, have you seen a photo of Ning Li’s boyfriend before? Is he still in school or he is working?”

Yao Mingjia replied jokingly,?“I haven’t seen him before. She’s kept him a secret pretty well. It’s probably because... her boyfriend is too good to allow anyone to see? But I should be able to see him soon.

“To be honest, I’m quite curious too.”

...

The Institute of Physics.

Office 103.

Xia Rui looked at Ning Li with both admiration and eagerness.

“Yes, this is just in time for the school’s 120th-anniversary celebration. The ceremony will be quite grand. You’re the new student representative, so you’ll have to behave well at that time.”

The Institute of Physics took this matter quite seriously, so Xia Rui had specially called Ning Li over to give her a detailed reminder.

Ning Li nodded.

“Thank you, Teacher Xia. I understand.”

Xia Rui nodded in satisfaction.

“Alright, then you may go back and prepare your script. Don’t be nervous, just perform normally.”

Ning Li agreed and turned around to leave the office.

Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard on the stairs not far away, interspersed with the occasional sound of conversation.

Ning Li glanced over and saw two people coming down the stairs.

A young man in a white lab coat, who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, was walking beside someone while holding a stack of documents in his hand. With a respectful expression, he said something in a low voice.

The man he was following was also wearing a white lab coat.

However, perhaps it was because he was so tall and straight, or perhaps it was because he was so handsome and elegant, he somehow managed to exude a different feeling from the ordinary lab coat that he was wearing.

Strict, cold, distant, proud.

–It was Shen Zhijin.

He had a left pen clipped to the left side of his chest and one hand in his pocket. As he listened to the latest progress of the young man’s experiment, he walked over with an indifferent expression.

Suddenly, he noticed something, and his gaze focused slightly.

Ning Li stood still and nodded at him.

“Teacher Shen.”

Yan Qiu had originally been focused on reporting the contents of the document to his boss when he was suddenly interrupted by a clear and melodious voice. He subconsciously raised his head and looked over.

He was stunned.

Judging by the military training uniform, he could see it was a new student.

Moreover, she was a very beautiful freshman.

Ning Li was quite famous now, but not everyone recognized her.

At least, Yan Qiu did not know much about her. His boss was just about to set up a new project team. As the only confirmed member of the team and Shen Zhijin’s assistant, he had a lot of things to do.

Yan Qiu came back to his senses. What surprised him was that this freshman was quite interesting. She had actually addressed his boss as “Teacher Shen”.

It was known that Shen Zhijin did not teach any undergraduate students.

When the students in the academy saw him, they would usually call him “Dean Shen” or “Professor Shen”.

However, in the next moment, he saw his boss nod at the new student.

Yan Qiu had been with Shen Zhijin for two years, so he more or less understood his reactions by now. This meant that he knew this new student!

He was shocked and took a closer look at Ning Li.

Ning Li greeted him and was about to leave.

However, just as she took a step forward, Shen Zhijin’s voice came from behind her.

“Yan Qiu, give her a registration form.”

His tone was very calm and indifferent, just like how he always seemed to convey a subtle sense of isolation from the outside world.

Ning Li turned around in surprise.

Yan Qiu was even more shocked than her.

“Boss?”

The registration form... Was it the registration form that he was thinking of?!

Shen Zhijin glanced at him.

Yan Qiu immediately reacted instinctively.

“Okay.”

He pulled out a form from the stack of documents in his hand, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Ning Li.

“Hello, Junior Sister. I’m Yan Qiu. This registration form...”

Ning Li glanced at it.

This was the registration form for Shen Zhijin’s new project team.

Yan Qiu said, “Can you fill it out as soon as possible and give it to me tomorrow?”

Ning Li looked at Shen Zhijin.

Shen Zhijin said, “Think about it before you fill it out.”

He seemed to be a very direct person when it came to doing things.

Ning Li felt that it was quite interesting. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she took the registration form from Yan Qiu’s hands.

“Thank you, Teacher Shen.”

Shen Zhijin only nodded slightly before he left.

Yan Qiu immediately followed. After taking a few steps, he did not forget to look back at Ning Li. The waves in his heart had yet to subside.

Shen Zhijin nodded at him, and he immediately pulled himself back to reality. After reacting for a moment, he realized that Shen Zhijin was pointing out a mistake in the contents of his report earlier.

He immediately abandoned those mixed thoughts and focused his thoughts again. Then, he continued with what he had been saying.

Ning Li lowered her head and looked at the registration form in her hand. After a long while, she gently exhaled.

...

September 22nd.

The military training parade for the Xijing University 120th-anniversary celebration ceremony was to be officially held on this day.

On the field, square formations were neatly arranged with flags flying in the air.

In the stands, the most central platform was where the leaders of the various schools were sitting.

On the left and right sides, seating arrangements had also been made in advance. They were specially reserved for the alumni who would be returning to the school to participate in the ceremony.

Ning Li stood at the side of the institute and lowered her cap slightly.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. There were faint sounds of girls screaming and discussing excitedly.

Ning Li raised her eyes to look.
