Chapter 812: Sour Grapes
Huo Yao raised her brow. “It’s my second major.”
Yi Feiyu’s eyes instantly opened wide when he heard it was her second major. “Are you sure? Are you going to take up a second major in your first year?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded.
It was a huge blow to Yi Feiyu’s pride when he heard this. Was this something that regular folks would do?
Students interested in taking double majors only considered it in their soph.o.m.ore year. After all, no one had the time or energy to do a second major when things were starting out for them in the first year.
Moreover, Engineering Physics was a tough major that was capable of bringing students to their knees!
Yi Feiyu inhaled deeply. He secretly reminded himself that she was the top scholar and could not be judged by normal standards, so he ought to just calm down.
Then again, just the fact that there was a cute freshman in the Physics department was worthy of celebration.
Yi Feiyu adjusted his spectacles before he raised his head and glanced at the office and said, “I doubt it will be your turn anytime soon. Why don’t I show you around the faculty?”
Huo Yao shook her head and asked. “Do you know where Prof Rong’s office is?”
“Prof Rong?” Yi Feiyu was stunned. There were plenty of professors in the faculty, but only one who went by Rong. “Yao, are you talking about Prof Rong, Rong Jun?”
Rong Jun was a department fellow and also an honorary professor, so most of the people called him Prof Rong.
Huo Yao did not know what his academic t.i.tle was. She only remembered people calling him Prof Rong when she met him last year. She contemplated for a couple of seconds before she said, “Are there no professors going by Rong?”
“There is a Prof Rong in the faculty, but he is also a department fellow,” explained Yi Feiyu.
Huo Yao nodded. It did not dawn on her that Rong Jun was a fellow.
Yi Feiyu noticed the surprise on her face and asked quizzically. “Don’t you know Prof Rong is a department fellow?”
Huo Yao raised her paperwork. “He told me to look for him in his office.”
Yi Feiyu fell into silence the moment he heard this.
Prof Rong was one of the most important professors at Tsing University. His academic papers had won a lot of awards internationally, and he had made a great contribution to local research.
However, he rarely taught any students and it was hard even to see him in person. Even though Yi Feiyu was a soph.o.m.ore, he had only seen him no more than five times.
The moment Huo Yao joined the university, Prof Rong invited her to his office.
Yi Feiyu looked at Huo Yao enviously.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Feiyu?”
Yi Feiyu sighed sadly before he said, “Let’s go. I will take you to his office.”
There was no point in being jealous of a genius.
Prof Rong’s office was located in the block, but it was on the fifth floor, so they had to take the lift to access it.
The lift came with restricted access, so not everyone had access to the fifth floor. After they got into the lift, Yi Feiyu finally remembered this and scratched his head sheepishly. “I forgot that I do not have access to the fifth floor.”
Yi Feiyu and Huo Yao walked out of the lift. Huo Yao told him not to worry about it and took out her phone and sent Prof Rong a text message.
Yi Feiyu furtively glanced at Huo Yao’s phone screen and saw her sending a text message. Even without thinking, he knew who she was texting.
Yi Feiyu had the sour grapes once more.
He did not even have the opportunity to see Prof Rong properly, let alone have Prof Rong’s number.
