Shi Qian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the girl.
The girl became even more nervous and looked up at Shi Qian with fear.
She subconsciously gripped her bag tightly. It was like she was ready to cover her face at any time.
The surrounding people didn’t understand the confusion. The two girls looked at each other.
Shi Qian retracted her gaze indifferently and walked away.
The girl let down her guard when Shi Qian left the professor and no longer returned.
“You scared me to death.”
“Look at you!” Another girl said.
The girl turned her head. “You’re awesome. Why were you shaking just now?!”
The girl was at a loss for words.
Zhuang Shuyu and Shi Muxue walked by the roadside.
“Muxue, how do you feel after joining the project team?”
“It feels good,” Shi Muxue replied. I’ve learned a lot recently. Thank you, Director. I wouldn’t have joined such a vital project team if you hadn’t introduced me to the research inst.i.tute.”
Zhuang Shuyu chuckled. “This is all your hard work. You’ve joined such an important project before you even graduated. That is unprecedented. Muxue, you’re outstanding.”
Shi Muxue smiled.
A hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
“Muxue.”
At this moment, a man’s voice sounded.
Shi Muxue turned to look toward the voice.
Su Jinxuan walked towards Shi Muxue.
“Muxue, you guys continue chatting,” Zhuang Shuyu said. “I’ll be leaving first.”
“Take care, Director.” Shi Muxue nodded.
Zhuang Shuyu left.
“Brother Xuan, why are you here all of a sudden?” Shi Muxue looked at Su Jinxuan.
“I came to see you. Xue ‘er, do you still have cla.s.ses in the afternoon?”
“Yes, I have cla.s.ses.” Shi Muxue replied.
“Then what time do you finish cla.s.s?” Su Jinxuan asked again.
Shi Muxue did not have cla.s.ses in the afternoon. She knew that Su Jinxuan wanted to go on a date with her, but she did not have time to deal with him now.
She had already made an appointment with Young Master Jiang.
After all, Su Jinxuan had helped the Shi family so much in the past. It was not good for her to break up with him this sudden. She could only give him a cold answer.
“Yes, 4:30. However, I must visit the research inst.i.tute after cla.s.s. Brother Xuan, do you have something to do?”
Su Jinxuan looked at Shi Muxue with a complicated expression.
“Xue ‘er, did I do something wrong recently?” He asked after a moment of hesitation.
“Hmm? No, you didn’t. Why would you ask that, Brother Xuan?” Shi Muxue pretended to be puzzled.
“I’ve been asking you out recently, but you’ve always been busy. Xue’er, are you deliberately distancing yourself from me?”
“It’s not that. I…” Shi Muxue explained softly. “I recently joined a new project at the research inst.i.tute, so I’m quite busy.”
“New project? What?” Su Jinxuan was stunned for a moment. Then, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. “You mean the latest experimental project at the research inst.i.tute?”
“Yes.” Shi Muxue nodded.
Disbelief filled Jinxuan’s face. He knew about the experimental project, and the selection of members was strict.
Shi Muxue was only a first-year student. But she was able to join such an important project. That was very rare.
“I’m sorry, Brother Xuan. I should have told you earlier.”
“Xue’er, it’s my fault,” Su Jinxuan said gently. “I didn’t expect my Xue’er to be so outstanding. Brother Xuan misunderstood you. Brother Xuan apologizes to you.”
“If you don’t have anything to do this Sat.u.r.day, I’ll give you a call, okay?” Shi Muxue smiled.
“Okay, contact me if you’re not busy.”
“Okay.” Shi Muxue nodded.
Su Jinxuan left.
Shi Muxue curled her lips and turned around.
She saw Shi Qian walk towards the door.
“Sister,” Shi Muxue suddenly said as Shi Qian walked closer..
