Chapter 899: Help Check The Experiment Plan
Jiang Mingyue frowned when she got interrupted by Huo Yao. She looked at Huo Yao and felt repulsed by her rudeness.
Huo Yao had intervened when she was observing the experiment previously. Now that they were chatting over lunch, history repeated itself.
Anyone with common sense and manners would know they ought to chat a little out of courtesy and not leave so quickly.
Moreover, she was just a freshman. What could she be so busy with?
Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips. What kind of family did she grow up in? How could they be capable of raising someone as pretentious as Huo Yao?
Mu Qing had already caught Huo Yao checking the time earlier, so he said nothing and simply said goodbye.
Since Huo Yao wanted to leave, Yuan Xi was not going to stay either.
Before long, the two of them left.
Since Huo Yao disrupted Jiang Mingyue’s mood, she lost her appet.i.te and put down her chopsticks after only having a few bites.
Mu Qing noticed Jiang Mingyue seemed to be in a bad mood. He thought about what happened before he paused and asked. “Are you and Huo Yao…”
Jiang Mingyue took out a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth before she shook her head and changed the subject. “Oh yes. Can you help me take a look at my experiment plan after lunch?”
Mu Qing was studying Genetic Engineering in the Biology department and was very good at it. Since Jiang Mingyue’s thesis entailed the same subject, she was hoping he could help her.
Mu Qing looked at her and said, “Are you talking about the article you plan on submitting to the journal?”
“Uh huh. I just tested my theory yesterday and the comparative testing results were not good. Now I am kind of stuck. I am not sure what went wrong,” said Jiang Mingyue with a smile.
Mu Qing pondered for a couple of seconds before he nodded. “Sure. My research team happens to be doing work on an overlapping subject anyway. I need to give Mr. Qi some doc.u.ments. After I am done, I am happy to go over your work.”
Jiang Mingyue looked delighted. “Thanks.”
Mu Qing smiled. “You are welcome.”

After leaving the canteen, Yuan Xi said to Huo Yao enviously, “Yao, I didn’t realize you knew Mu Qing!”
“We graduated from the same middle school,” answered Huo Yao mildly.
She took out her phone and sent Wu Yue a text message to check if he was around.
Yuan Xi touched her nose. “Although you graduated from the same middle school, it’s not every day that people get to see geniuses like them!”
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at Yuan Xi. “Is it hard to see them?”
Yuan Xi was still reeling in excitement after encountering these legendary schoolmates, but her delight quickly dissipated immediately.
Was it hard?
Then again, Huo Yao was right.
After all, her desk buddy was the top scholar in the recently held college entrance exam!
Huo Yao’s phone beeped when she received a text message. She lowered her head and glanced at her phone before she waved goodbye to Yuan Xi. “I have to go.”
Yuan Xi touched her nose. Huo Yao was always busy at lunch, so she simply said, “Sure thing.”

Before long, Huo Yao arrived at the department of Engineering Physics.
Wu Yue had given her an access card, so she entered the office without any problem.
Wu Yue typically stayed at the office when he did not have cla.s.s, so he told Huo Yao to come upstairs the moment he received her text message.
“Prof Rong has gone back to the research inst.i.tute this morning and probably won’t be on campus for a couple of days. If you need to talk to him, you can call him directly,” said Wu Yue as he poured Huo Yao a gla.s.s of water.
