He had indeed laughed at Fang Duo before. After that, there was a period of time when he was studying Fang Duo’s hobbies. Why was she so passionate about these things? After some investigation, he actually felt that online language was quite fun and catchy. No wonder Fang Duo liked it.

Regardless, they didn’t need to worry about Sheng Yang.

The next day, it was the day of the competition between the Ivy League team and Imperial Capital University. It was set to be held in the university’s auditorium, and many students came to watch.

In the end, Qin Yuan didn’t get what she wanted. She couldn’t become a member of the team against the Ivy League. However, the chancellor still gave her a spot to watch the battle. She was already very satisfied with this. She believed that her roommate, Sheng Yang, would definitely be able to defeat those arrogant people from the Ivy League and give them a hard time.

As for Luo Mengmeng and Li Fei, they did not even have the right to come in and watch the battle. Luo Mengmeng asked Qin Yuan to do her best to broadcast it.

On the other hand, Jin Lu was worried that Sheng Yang would be late or even absent on such a day. After all, in the past, whenever there was a TOP Club meeting, other than the first time when she was punctual, she was always absent. But when he arrived, Sheng Yang was already there. It seemed like she had arrived quite early.

She sat there quietly reading a book. With the way she looked down, her exquisite side profile made her look extremely peaceful.

Of course, the book she was flipping through was not related to the upcoming match. It was an irrelevant book.

She didn’t have any information about the competition at all. She didn’t ask for it back then, and the chancellor didn’t force her either.

Jin Lu sat down beside her as if nothing had happened. “I’ve finished reading the book you borrowed, ‘The Origin of Nuclear Physics’. It’s not bad. Do you have any other recommendations?”

“Uh… there is.” Sheng Yang was always able to answer such questions. “I’m just afraid you won’t understand.”

After all, it wasn’t a subject he knew about or was good at. Since he had no foundation, Sheng Yang was worried it would be too profound for him.

As though he had guessed what Sheng Yang was thinking, Jin Lu smiled brightly. “No matter what subject it is, bring it on.”

“Mmhm.” Sheng Yang’s interest was piqued. She recommended a few geography titles to Jin Lu.

She had always thought that Jin Lu had been studying science, so even if he had a foundation in humanities, it was impossible for him to be very good at the subject.

However, she did not expect Jin Lu to be an omnipotent person. He had actually heard of all the books that she mentioned and even analyzed them.

Sheng Yang was impressed. “As expected of Academician Zhao’s disciple.”

Jin Lu smiled. He actually wanted Sheng Yang to be his junior, but for some reason, Academician Zhao always had a weird expression on her face when he brought it up.

As the two of them conversed, the others also came over. Xue Xue looked at Sheng Yang with a fake smile on her face. “Sheng Yang, you have to work hard today. Don’t put your personal interests above everything else.”

Since everyone in the club knew that she and Sheng Yang didn’t get along, there was no need to pretend.

Sheng Yang was even more direct and didn’t even bat an eyelid.

Xue Xue was angry but did not show it.

She couldn’t allow herself to lose again, but she was still filled with regret. Why did she always lose to Sheng Yang? It seemed to be an unchanging fact.

When she saw that Sheng Yang seemed to be having a good conversation with Jin Lui, her heart was filled with jealousy. Didn’t Sheng Yang have a boyfriend? What was she doing now, then?
