It was time to clock out.
Ma Guoguo stood up, tidied her desk, and prepared to find her professor to ask how to solve that modeling problem.
Even if he would not tell her the solution, a few relevant references would do.
Just then,
Yan Xiao stood up, stretched, and picked up his papers, noticing that Ma Guoguo was about to leave.
"What time is it?"
Lin Fangxin checked her watch. "Oh, it's five thirty-seven."
"My God..."
This was the first time Yan Xiao had spent so long working on problems in the real world. It felt rather incredible.
Of course,
if he had not been trying to get his registration fee back, he would have considered it a colossal waste of time.
With that much time on his hands,
playing games, eating, or watching short videos and gossip would have been far more worthwhile.
"Come on, let's hand it in." As Yan Xiao spoke, he turned and spotted Ma Guoguo gathering her things to leave.
Huh?
Don't go!
"Auntie, we're handing in our papers!" Yan Xiao called out.
A vein immediately bulged on Ma Guoguo's forehead...
I'm a young maiden of thirty-eight! What do you mean, Auntie?!
She turned and glared at Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao simply pretended not to notice.
With his emotional intelligence, he normally would not have called Ma Guoguo "Auntie."
But,
her contempt had really annoyed him.
So, taking advantage of his youth,
he unleashed his most vicious verbal attack.
"Here's our paper." Yan Xiao waved the sheets in his hand and walked over to Ma Guoguo.
Ma Guoguo took them through gritted teeth, planning to pretend to glance at the answers before snapping back at him.
But,
that single glance
left her unable to tear her eyes away.
This...
