The group instantly fell into dead silence.

Yan Qiu clapped his hands.

[ Congratulations, Junior Sister! ]

With two Universe-published articles in hand, she could do whatever she wanted at any university or research institute in the country.

More importantly– she was only 18 years old!

In the past, even Shen Zhijin had not gotten the same kind of achievements as her.

Fu Niannian and Tang Yi were about to hug their heads and cry.

[ There’s a big senior brother on top and a little junior sister on the bottom. It’s fine if an article can’t be published, but to lose even when it comes to snatching red packets! What an unbearable day! ]

[ Sob, sob, sob! I’m willing to use my lifetime’s supply of good luck in grabbing red packets in exchange for an article in ‘Universe’! ]

[ … Tang Yi, are you trying to show off? ]

Fu Niannian quickly kicked Tang Yi aside and went to grieve alone.

Shen Li knew that her article had already been drafted, but she had not expected it to be published in this issue.

[ Thank you, Senior Brother Yan Qiu. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known about this. ]

The third photo that Yan Qiu sent was a photo of Shen Li’s experiment table from where he was sitting.

[ You’re welcome. Teacher Shen brought this over this morning. There’s a new one on your table. You’ll see it when you get here. ]

Shen Zhijin had brought in a total of three copies. Yan Qiu and Shen Li each had a copy of the publication while he kept one for himself.

Shen Li blinked.

As the managing editor, Shen Zhijin must have known that her thesis would be published in this issue. However, since she had not asked, he had not told her about it.

Because she was sure that it would be published, she had not thought too much about it.

As for Shen Zhijin, surely this was a small matter to him.

Therefore, she had always thought that Shen Zhijin would be like her and look upon this matter very casually.

She had not expected him to specially bring the magazine over…

“What are you reading that is keeping you so engrossed?”

Sitting next to him, Lu Huaiyu had just written down another method to solve the problem. Seeing that Shen Li had been holding her phone and looking at it for a while, he stopped writing and tilted his head to look over.

Shen Li handed her phone over and let him see the photo.

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice a little. He smiled and said, “So amazing?”

She was the only one who had two published articles in Universe at the tender age of eighteen.

The corners of Shen Li’s lips curved up beautifully, and her peach blossom eyes were jet-black.

“Senior Brother said that my father brought this to the laboratory.”

“Teacher Shen didn’t inform you before?”

Shen Li nodded.

“I thought that he wouldn’t pay much attention to it since he reads these every day.”

Lu Huaiyu could not help but laugh. He gently tapped her smooth and full forehead with his finger.

“That’s your thesis. How could Teacher Shen not care?”

That was true.

Shen Li clicked out of the picture and sent another red packet. It was empty in a second.

[ Thank you, Junior Sister! ]

[ Thank you, Junior Sister! ]

[ Thank you, Junior Sister! ]

All at once.

Probably because they had been hit by both of Shen Li’s “Universe” articles, they received the red packets very quickly.

Lu Huaiyu glanced at it and took out his phone.

A message quickly popped up on Shen Li’s phone. Lu Huaiyu had sent her a red packet.

She clicked on it. While receiving the red packet, she asked softly, “Why did Second Brother send me a red packet?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his chin.

“I’m afraid that you won’t be able to make ends meet, so I’m subsidizing my family’s expenses.”

Shen Li was silent.

Forget it. This man was rich anyway.

She accepted the red packet and tilted her head to look at him. Her peach blossom eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

“Thank you, Boss.”

Lu Huaiyu stared at the dimples on the corners of her lips that were faintly discernible for a while before smiling in return.

Subsequently, Shen Li received another red packet from Lu Huaiyu.

She clicked it open and her eyes sparkled at the numbers on it.

Lu Huaiyu bent his head slightly and asked, “Who are you thanking?”

As Shen Li straightened up her small body, her small face was solemn.

“Thank you, Brother.”

Only then was Lu Huaiyu satisfied and the corner of his lips curled up.

Professor Fang, who was on the podium, looked over and felt irritated.

“Lu Huaiyu, have you finished writing out the solution to the problem that was set just now? Please tell me how you would solve it.”

Lu Huaiyu stood up, looked down, and sincerely asked, “Professor Fang, I’ve written out five solutions. Which solution do you want to hear?”

Professor Fang was dumbfounded.

He picked up his glass, took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Sit down!”

“Thank you, Professor Fang.”

Lu Huaiyu obediently sat down again.

Shen Li looked at him and could not help but say, “Second Brother, it’s lucky that you’re only here to listen. Otherwise, I think… Professor Fang would really fail you in this class.”

Lu Huaiyu looked at her with a smile.

Shen Li tugged at his shirt sleeve.

“Second Brother, it’s your birthday on the day after tomorrow. Is there any birthday present that you want?”

Lu Huaiyu held her hand.

“As long as it’s from you, anything fine.”

…

The class bell rang. Shen Li packed her backpack and was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Professor Fang.

“Shen Li.”

Shen Li walked over.

“Professor?”

Professor Fang held a glass of water and asked kindly, “Was my class that boring today? I saw a lot of students playing with their phones.”

Shen Li, who had been using her cell phone during class, was silent.

She coughed.

“No, your class was very good.

“But kids nowadays do tend to keep their cell phones in their hands.”

Professor Fang sighed and looked thoughtful.

“I heard that some teachers ask all their students to hand in their cell phones when they’re in class and only return them after class. I wonder what the effect will be…”

The many gods of learning who were about to leave the classroom turned their heads around in horror.

No way?!

Was Professor Fang about to implement this?!

Shen Li instantly felt countless pairs of pleading eyes fall on her.

She paused for a moment and said, “I don’t think this is really necessary. It seems that there are always many people who attend your class. It’d be quite troublesome for so many people to surrender and then retrieve their cell phones. What do you think?”

Professor Fang seemed to have been persuaded and sighed again.

“Sigh, actually, I just want everyone to listen to the lecture well. I saw that you were looking at your mobile phone just now. Didn’t you like the contents of today’s lecture?”

Everyone thought, ‘Oh ho! Even the class representative has been called out!’

Shen Li choked and finally said, “No, Professor Fang, you misunderstood. I just… Senior Brother Yan Qiu informed me that my thesis had just been published, so I merely wanted to reply to him. It won’t happen again next time.”

When she mentioned this, Professor Fang was a little surprised. He immediately asked with a chuckle, “Oh? Another thesis? That’s indeed a good thing! Oh right, where was it published?”

Shen Li said, “Universe.”
