Jinling University.
An office at the end of the School of Mathematics corridor.
A petite girl with a short ponytail hugged a stack of specialized textbooks nearly taller than her forehead and struggled to squeeze the door open as she entered the office.
Walking over to a desk piled high with books, Han Mengqi laboriously set the books in her arms beside another stack.
Taking two steps back and wiping the sweat from her forehead, Han Mengqi admired the desk, which barely had room for a pen, and couldn't help clicking her tongue to herself.
She never would have known she was this damn impressive if she hadn't tried it.
Just then, someone knocked on the office door. A student holding textbooks pushed the door open and poked his head in to look around.
"Um... Senior Sister, where's Professor Lu?"
Hearing the voice from the doorway and realizing that she had already become a senior sister, Han Mengqi could not help feeling a wave of melancholy.
The newcomer was none other than the International Mathematical Olympiad gold medalist who had achieved a perfect score and applied to Jinling University's Mathematics department some time ago.
When the news had first spread, it had caused quite a stir on Jin University's campus. Even the school paper had interviewed the undergraduate, asking why he had not considered Tsinghua University or Yanshan University and had instead chosen Jinling.
His answer had been equally interesting.
No matter who interviewed him, he always gave the same reply—
"Because Professor Lu is here!"
Naturally, Han Mengqi could not let some stranger steal her master away. She cleared her throat, assumed the dignity and bearing of the Lu School's foremost disciple, and shook her head.
"The professor isn't here. He went to Shanghai a few days ago."
