The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy Chapter 1237

1237 Side Story 16: Chase

For the first time in all of her 17 years, Gu Tingyin had run away.

…

“You want to go to the Xijing Academy of Fine Arts?”

Back at the hotel, Gu Ci raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard what Gu Tingyin said.

!!

“But didn’t you already decide to go to the Bai City Royal Academy of Fine Arts? ”

Gu Tingyin’s talent in painting was unquestionable, and she had long received offers from several world-cla.s.s art academies.

She was born in Hong Kong City and later completed her secondary school in Bai City, so she was most familiar with these two cities.

She had already decided on which academy she wanted to go to.

Gu Ci had not expected her to suddenly change her mind.

Gu Tingyin blinked.

“Yeah, but I’ve been thinking about it recently. If I want to learn Chinese painting, it’s best to do it in China! Xijing Academy of Fine Arts is the top art academy in the country, so it’s the most suitable place to go. Don’t you think so, Daddy?”

Gu Ci leaned back on the sofa and looked at her.

Gu Tingyin straightened her shoulders with a serious expression on her face.

Gu Ci suddenly said, “You changed your mind after spending just one afternoon at Xijing University?”

For a moment, Gu Tingyin felt that her thoughts had been seen through.

She coughed guiltily, “I don’t think so. I’ve actually discussed the matter of Xijing Academy of Fine Arts with my teacher before, but I didn’t have the chance to find out more about it. I came to the Capital with you this time with the intention of taking a good look around. After comparing the two, I think that Xijing Academy of Fine Arts is more suitable for me!”

A smile appeared on Gu Ci’s face.

“If I remember correctly, Xijing Academy of Fine Arts and Xijing University are not on the same campus, right? ”

After strolling around Xijing University, she had finally come to the conclusion that Xijing Academy of Fine Arts was more suitable for her?

Gu Tingyin was speechless.

She was a little anxious.

“It’s still a school! Aren’t the school mottos and school spirits the same? Since Xijing University is so good, that means that Xijing Academy of Fine Arts must be good too!”

Gu Ci did not comment.

Of course, he knew the status of Xijing University and Xijing Academy of Fine Arts. Otherwise, he would not have come here.

However–

Gu Tingyin clasped her hands together and looked at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes.

“Daddy!”

Gu Ci did not want to displease her.

He looked at her for a while, then finally smiled and nodded.

“Alright. However, your big brother and the others have been preparing a welcome banquet for you to commemorate the start of school some time ago. You should tell them about this yourself.”

The whole family thought that she was going to continue her studies in Bai City.

Now that she had suddenly changed to the Capital, it was natural that a clear explanation would have to be given.

Gu Tingyin was not worried about this problem at all.

Her eyes were bright.

“Alright!”

…

Gu Ci went left, leaving Gu Tingyin alone in the room.

She pulled out the chair and sat down in front of the desk to look at her computer again.

On the screen was the official website of Xijing University, the official website of the Fino Laboratory, and the Xijing University campus forum.

All these pages contained the same name.

– Shen Zhijin.

[ At the age of 14, he received an exemption and was admitted to Xijing University. In three years, he completed his master’s degree with full marks. ]

[ He went to Bai City at the age of 17 and became the first doctor that was jointly trained by the Physics Department of Xijing University and Fino Laboratory. ]

[ At the age of 18, he returned to China with his mentor and co-founded the Fino Laboratory branch in the Capital. ]

Gu Tingyin muttered as she covered her face in despair.

How could she have thought that he was a freshman from Xijing University’s Physics Department?!

College entrance examination results? He had not even taken the college entrance exam!

She had even volunteered to lead the way! That was his alma mater!

It was no wonder he had not answered the questions she asked him. How was he supposed to explain it?

Did he think that she had deliberately led him around?

No, probably not.

He must have noticed that this was her first time at Xijing University!

Gu Tingyin felt that the amount of shame she had felt in her entire life was less than what she had felt in this one afternoon!

She rested her chin on her hand and sighed.

She was worried.

She was really worried.

She picked up a pen and drew something on the paper.

A cute and handsome little boy in a white s.h.i.+rt appeared from her pen.

Even though it was in the style of a cartoon, there was a sense of distance between his eyebrows.

He was angry.

He was really angry.

How could he not have said anything?

Gu Tingyin snorted, and a little girl in a long dress appeared next to him.

The little girl carried the little boy on her shoulder.

…

Although her application was late, Gu Tingyin was very talented, and several teachers at the Xijing Academy of Fine Arts were interested in her. Coupled with the library that the Gu family had donated, Gu Tingyin was finally admitted to the Xijing Academy of Fine Arts.

She had officially become Shen Zhijin’s… junior.

…

Xijing University, Physics Laboratory.

Shen Zhijin was wearing a white lab coat. There was a stack of experiment records by his side. The computer in front of him was running a calculation program.

Behind him stood an a.s.sociate Professor in his thirties and two Ph.D.s.

As they watched and listened to Shen Zhijin’s explanation, they would nod from time to time.

Shen Zhijin was only a second-year Ph.D. student this year, but because he had spent a year at the headquarters of the Fino Laboratory in Bai City, he knew more about many things than the teachers and students in the Physics Department.

This year, he had returned to China with his supervisor to set up a branch of the laboratory. He was mainly responsible for the in-depth experimental cooperation with Xijing University.

There was indeed a gap between done by the Chinese and foreigners in their astronomy research, so he had to deal with many of them personally.

Although he was a second-ranked student, his current status in the Physics Department was far more than that.

“Hey, Zhijin, cla.s.s is about to start. Shall we go?” Asked another second-degree student as he walked over.

Shen Zhijin’s gaze was still fixed on the screen. He shook his head, his expression indifferent.

The boy did not seem surprised. He smiled and said, “That’s true. It’d just be a waste of time for you to attend a foreign language cla.s.s, right?”

Shen Zhijin was proficient in English and German, so it did not make a difference whether he attended the cla.s.s or not.

Moreover, he had been helping out in the academy recently, so the teachers had turned a blind eye to his non-attendance.

Another male student who was reading literature looked up and laughed.

“Senior Brother Xu Zhe, I’ve never seen you so enthusiastic about a cla.s.s before! Tell me, is it because of that girl who always comes to the cla.s.s?”

Xu Zhe smacked him on the head and scolded him with a smile.

“What are you saying? Is your senior brother that kind of person?”

Kong Wenhan snorted.

“The news has spread throughout the school! It’s said that she’s a very beautiful new junior who always attends the cla.s.ses at the Physics Department. She isn’t sitting in on the undergraduate cla.s.ses, but specifically for Ph.D. cla.s.ses instead. I heard that when she goes, the cla.s.sroom will be filled with people, and many people even skipped cla.s.s to chase after her. ”

He dragged his chair forward and asked curiously, “Tell me, what do pretty girls think about this idea? The cla.s.ses in our department are so boring, yet she’s actually here? She doesn’t seem to think much about the undergraduate students. Must one have a Ph.D.?”

Xu Zhe did not like what Kong Wenhan had said.

“What are you saying? The girl said that she liked physics! What’s wrong with listening in?”

It wasn’t a problem to like physics, but wasn’t that girl just a freshman?

“Senior Brother, which department is that girl from?”

Xu Zhe picked up his backpack and walked out. He stopped in his tracks and chuckled.

“You’ll never guess, that girl… Is from the Academy of Fine Arts! She just got in this year! I have to go now, or those b*stards will take all the good seats again!”

Shen Zhijin’s brows furrowed slightly. He raised his long eyelashes slightly and his eyes were dark.

“Who is she?”
