As soon as she said that, everyone looked at Sheng Yang.

Academician Zhao didn’t call Sheng Yang by just her name but ‘Lil Sheng Yang’, which was extremely intimate!

“Yes,” Sheng Yang replied. “Old Zhao, long time no see.”

Everyone was even more shocked. How dare she call Academician Zhao “Old… Cough… Old Zhao”? Did they hear wrongly?

Academician Zhao was not angry. Instead, she chuckled.

Just from how they addressed each other, the relationship between the two was obvious.

Everyone admired Sheng Yang even more. She was indeed a goddess to be able to call Academician Zhao a friend.

Academician Zhao placed her hand on the podium. She had yet to start the lecture and first made an announcement, “By the way, everyone must know that I’m very busy. I often have to fly to many places. For this reason, the university has assigned me a teaching assistant.”

Everyone expressed their understanding for this matter. That was true. After all, it was Academician Zhao! It was already an honor for her to teach them.

It was normal for her to have an assistant.

However, Academician Zhao had always had high standards for herself as well as the people under her. Even if it was just a teaching assistant, she would never be careless with her selection.

It was because she cherished her reputation a lot.

Therefore, even though Academician Zhao had not brought that person in, everyone had a guess that it was most likely Senior Jin Lu.

Senior Jin Lu was the most outstanding disciple under Academician Zhao. Never mind a teaching assistant, he could be a professor.

Academician Zhao smiled at the door and said politely, “Come in.”

A suave man walked in.

At first, Sheng Yang was still reading her book. The moment she heard the voice, she suddenly raised her head.

The man standing on the podium was wearing a gray vest and a white shirt. His black trousers matched the rest of his outfit. He was gentle, refined, and polite. He wore silver-rimmed glasses. His facial features were 30-40 percent similar to Yi Juncheng’s, especially his eyes, but they were not as demonic. Probably because of the glasses, they looked much sharper.

His hair was slightly lifted, revealing his smooth and full forehead. Behind the glasses, his peach blossom eyes were deep and as bright as stars.

Sheng Yang rubbed the book with her fair fingers and smiled. Interesting.

“Wow, he’s so handsome.”

“I wonder if he’s married.”

“He’s so young. It’s obvious he’s not married.”

“Are you blind? He’s wearing a ring.”

“Tsk. Wearing a ring doesn’t mean he’s married.”

It was one thing for this person to be handsome, but Academician Zhao’s introduction was even more interesting. “This is my teaching assistant, Yi Chao. If our answers are the same, then that’s the answer. If we have a difference in opinion, then the correct answer must be Assistant Yi’s answer. If Assistant Yi doesn’t know either, then the question must be wrong.”

When everyone heard this, they chuckled. Academician Zhao really knew how to joke.

In the next moment, Zhao Caihua said seriously, “I’m serious.”

“…”

The entire place was silent. Everyone began to scrutinize this teaching assistant carefully. He was so young, yet he could make Academician Zhao say such things!

Not only was he handsome, but he was also young and promising. After class, everyone rushed forward like a swarm of bees and surrounded Yi Chao tightly.

“Teacher Yi, help me with this question.”

“Teacher Yi, I don’t know this question.”

Sheng Yang was still sitting in her seat. When she heard all this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

She was not happy. She wanted to tear someone apart.
