Chapter 106 – Academician Identity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were also envious people online criticizing Xiao Ying for putting on a show just for the sake of fame.
The comments online fell into two categories.
A fierce battle broke out.
The country’s central television directly revealed her identity as an academician. This was a title given to her after being recognized as the inventor of X-ray spot technology as well as her pioneering of the limb-repairment procedure.
The netizens finally realized how impressive she was.
She was the youngest academician in history.
Of course, there were also people who questioned how she became an academician. After Xiao Ying’s two major achievements were presented in their faces, they didn’t dare to say another word
Students in the medical field stood forward to speak for Xiao Ying.
The Medical University’s official Weibo account had praised Xiao Ying’s contribution to the medical field. Now, everyone knew about her capabilities.
Many people expressed that they wanted to move, just so they could live near Xiao Ying and send their children to her side.
The real-life version of ‘Three Moves By Menicius’ Mother’ was about to be reenacted. This was an ancient story about how a mother moved her family three times just so her son could have a good learning environment.
Xiao Ying quickly expressed that there was no need for this. She was only renting her apartment, and it was not a long-term residence. Only then did the netizens’ enthusiasm calm down a little.
Xiao Ying was taken aback by everyone’s fervor and couldn’t help but blame Cheng Yang for getting the media to come to the competition.
Cheng Yang expressed innocently that he had not been the one who notified the media.
This truly hadn’t been his doing. Because a group of students from a regular elementary school had received a first-place prize at the elementary school inventor’s competition, the reporters had come to interview them. Only then did they hear about the competition.
Predicting that something big was going to happen, the reporters naturally did not miss out on the event.
They did not expect to dig out such a big shot.
Xiao Ying suddenly became a name every household knew.
Initially, she had only been urged by the major medical schools to give lectures at their universities. Now, principals of various elementary schools had joined in.
The leaders of University A complained that these people were too clingy, but they were smiling widely.
All the students of University A noticed that the school had become much more lenient recently. Even after making mistakes, the principal would let them off with a light punishment.
Finally, some people managed to contact Xiao Ying herself.
Xiao Ying looked through the numerous emails in her inbox and replied to all of them patiently.
But it was also not realistic to promise to go lecture at every school that invited her.
Cheng Yang looked at her distressed expression and placed the glass of milk by her side, glancing at the emails on the computer screen.
He knew what was bothering her.
“You can teach online,” he said.
Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up, and her wrinkled little face relaxed.
She looked at him with sparkling eyes and forgot about the awkwardness between them. She hugged Cheng Yang’s arm and said, “Brother, you’re such a big help.”
Cheng Yang’s gaze deepened as he lowered his head and leaned closer to her. “Then how do you want to thank me?”
Xiao Ying came back to her senses and was about to retract her hand in embarrassment when Cheng Yang grabbed it.
After failing to pull it out after a few times, Xiao Ying could only say, “You said you wouldn’t force me.”
Cheng Yang let go and said, “Okay, I won’t force you.”
Xiao Ying struggled free and was about to leave.
Cheng Yang did not stop her. He just said, “Ying’er, I don’t have much patience left. There’s only one answer that I’ll accept.”
Xiao Ying’s body stiffened, and she returned to her room as if she hadn’t heard anything.
She leaned against the door after returning to her room and heaved a sigh of relief.
She recalled Cheng Yang’s words just now. What a scoundrel…
But he technically did solve a problem for her.
The next day, Xiao Ying left the house early and went to the mall to buy a DSLR camera and a tripod.
When she returned to the apartment complex, she saw a group of people gathered downstairs outside Building 9.
There were already people on the roof trying to persuade the boy to come down.
The place the boy was standing was very dangerous. No one dared to approach him for fear of agitating him. They could only try to persuade him with words.
But the boy said nothing. He stared at the ground blankly, his empty gaze not an expression a child should have..
