Chapter 311: Someone Took Mrs. Lu’s Phone to Send a Message to Zi Yi
The skills Zi Yi displayed had thoroughly conquered all the Ph.D. students.
After Professor Dou finally calmed down, he said, “As punishment, all of you will work overtime and make a new robot.”
“Huhh~”
A few male students started whining and Professor Dou ignored them as he said to Zi Yi, “Little Zi, let’s head for dinner.”
Liu Kai hastily asked, “Professor Dou, what about us? Why don’t we tag along? The meal is on me.”
The other students were busy nodding.
Professor Dou gave them a stern gaze and said, “You still want to eat with us? Go and eat in the 4th canteen. You are not allowed to leave before you produce the robot I that I asked you for.”
“Huhh~”
Dou Xiaoyong ignored their whining and left with Zi Yi.
A few male students’ voices sounded right after.
“Junior sister, what are you majoring in? We’ll come to find you to play when the semester starts?”
“Junior sister, you’re welcome to come and guide us anytime you fancy.”
“Junior sister, when are you free? This senior will treat you to a meal.”
…
Zi Yi and Dou Xiaoyong soon walked very far away and those voices were trapped inside the room.
Only then, did Dou Xiaoyong praise Zi Yi. “You’ve done well.”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked at him.
She suddenly understood that he deliberately left the room for an hour. The corner of her lips curled up and she asked, “Second Uncle, have you been monitoring the situation through the surveillance camera?”
“That’s right. This group of monkeys’ hearts are loftier than the skies and think that they are great. Therefore, I got you to teach them a lesson to know who and what is actually considered a mechanical genius.”
He could not resist the curving of his lips when he said that.
The both of them walked down the stairs as they conversed.
When they crossed the lobby on the first floor, Zi Yi was surprised to see so many people standing around.
However, when they saw her coming downstairs, they were all secretly photographing her with their phones.
Dou Xiaoyong noticed it at once. He used his stern gaze and swept across the crowd and everyone hid their phones behind in guilt.
When the both of them walked out of the building, the whole lobby had exploded.
“Did you guys get a clear shot? My hand trembled out of nervousness earlier and did not manage to get a good shot.”
“Oh no… I forgot to press the shutter!”
“Hehe, I got a clear picture.”
“Beautiful, she’s too beautiful. Our School of Mechanical Engineering can finally stand out proudly! Hahaha…”
“Quick, upload it to the forum and let other students from the other seven schools get envious of us.”
Soon, the school forum exploded once again.
“F*ck! What a beautiful female student!”
“I wonder if she has a boyfriend?”
“Eh~? Why does she seem so familiar?”
“This female student went to the School of Chinese Language today and she was personally brought over by Director Huang.”
“So… that brother from the School of Mechanical Engineering. Are you sure this junior sister belongs to your school?”
…
No matter how noisy the forum was, the freshmen of M.Uni have yet to join and so, they did not know of this discussion.
What the freshmen were most concerned about was:
“Which school did the top scorer enroll in?”
“I wonder if the schedule of the first semester would be tightly packed?”
“Where will the military training be held?”
“Can I get the scholars.h.i.+p?”
…
Dou Xiaoyong brought Zi Yi to a restaurant outside the school for dinner.
During the meal, they had discussed stuff on producing robots.
The more they conversed, the more Dou Xiaoyong was shocked at Zi Yi’s capabilities.
In the end, he simply took out his notebook and pen and started to take notes.
It was already 9 p.m when they finally finished the meal.
Dou Xiaoyong asked, “Where do you live?”
She told him of her address and Dou Xiaoyong nodded. “Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”
They did not pay much attention to their niece in the past and he felt somewhat guilty and wanted to check out her living situation.
Zi Yi looked at Dou Xiaoyong in slight surprise. She opened her mouth but did not say anything.
When Dou Xiaoyong sent her home, he was surprised. “This is your house?”
“Yep.”
Dou Xiaoyong suddenly recalled what Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling told him in the past about Zi Yi competing in a racing compet.i.tion.
Dou Xiaoyong nodded. “It’s pretty good. Relying on your skills to purchase such a place is part of your capabilities.”
Zi Yi smiled. After she alighted, she invited him. “Second Uncle, do you want to take a look inside?”
Dou Xiaoyong still had to make a trip to the hospital tonight and so, he waved his hand. “Maybe not. I’ll come over again when I have time.
Before your military training starts, take time out to visit your grandfather.”
Zi Yi nodded and said, “Okay.”
Dou Xiaoyong drove away shortly after.
Zi Yi looked on at the car driving further away. Just as she was about to turn around and head inside, her phone suddenly rang.
She took a glance and saw Mrs. Lu sending her a message.
The message wrote: Little Zi, I’m currently at the temple and I got you a protective talisman today. There will be a temple fair in the following days and I won’t be able to make it back. Why don’t you come and take it tomorrow?”
Mrs. Lu did indeed tell Zi Yi that she was going to ask for a protective talisman for her and so, she did not suspect anything as she replied: I’ll come over tomorrow afternoon.
On the other side…
Inside the temple.
Mrs. Lu looked through the room and asked in confusion. “Eh? Where is my phone?”
She could not find it anywhere in the room. Mrs. Lu thought back to where she had been earlier and walked out of the room as she planned to look for it.
Just then, the First and Third Madam just happen to walk over.
The Third Madam asked, “What’s wrong? You seem to be in a hurry.”
“I misplaced my phone and I was about to look for it.”
The Third Madam enthusiastically said, “I’ll help you.”
The First Madam added, “Let’s search for it together. You had only gone to a few places earlier and it should be easy to find.”
Thus, the three of them headed outside.
They had gone to the meditation room to listen to monks chanting sutras earlier and so, they made their way to the meditation room.
The monks were still in the room and the three of them went over to ask.
None of the monks had seen her phone.
Mrs. Lu was a little anxious. “I clearly brought my phone along with me throughout so how did it get lost?”
“Calm down, perhaps you had accidentally left it somewhere else. Why don’t we get the bodyguards to search?”
“I guess that’s the only way.”
Mrs. Lu called for the bodyguards and informed them of the places she had been to.
The efficiency rate of the bodyguards was high. Not long later, they had found her phone.
Mrs. Lu took the phone and asked, “Where was it found?”
The bodyguard mentioned the location to her.
Mrs. Lu slapped her forehead. “I see! I remember I went to wash my hands. I was worried about my phone falling into the sink and so, I took it out and placed it aside.”
The Third Madam smiled and said, “It’s good that you’ve found it.”
The First Madam added. “It’s getting late. Let’s go and take a rest. We still have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Thus, the three of them went to their rooms.
