Before she had time to finish reading about a certain female artist and a certain popular male star's scandalous romance, Zeng Jing had already hung up the phone calling her.
"What major is this classmate from? What can I help you with?"
Putting the phone back in his pocket, he walked closer and said: "Hello Professor Zeng, I'm Xianyu from the Energy and Power Engineering department. I came to ask if I want to minor in History, what are the conditions or procedures?"
Upon hearing the girl's name, a hint of surprise appeared on Zeng Jing's normally calm face, but it quickly returned to normal.
It turned out that she was the spare time that Professor Qian had just asked about, and she was indeed pretty enough, but apart from being a bit more steady in temperament, nothing special could be seen. Unexpectedly, she was favored by Professor Qian as early as her freshman year, with a promising future ahead of her.
"There are no special requirements for a second minor, as long as the total score of the mid-term exam in half a month reaches the top ten in the grade, you can choose to minor in a second major."
Zeng Jing took a sip of water and continued: "Pursuing a second major is not a trivial matter, you need to think carefully about it. Your original major already has a heavy workload, and you still want to spare extra energy to pursue a second major in history, which is a literature-related field. Can you handle it? Being greedy will lead to indigestion, if your grades are not up to par, failing too many courses could result in being persuaded to drop out."
"I've thought it through clearly, thank you for your concern."
Since that's the case, Zeng Jing didn't want to say more. As for Professor Qian's place, it seemed like this girl had no hope. Assisting in the second specialty would take up too much of her energy, and the lab needed someone who could focus on experiments.
"So, you take these application forms back and fill them out. After the mid-term exam results come out, if your grades are qualified, just submit it to the teaching office of the college." As she spoke, Zeng Jing handed a few application forms to Xian Yu.
After receiving the application form and browsing it carefully, I found that most of them were some basic information, nothing difficult to understand.
"Thank you, Teacher Zeng, I've troubled you." After expressing his gratitude, Xian Yu stood up and left.
She wasn't oblivious to the disapproval and regret on Zeng Jing's face. Having gone through a lot, she now hoped to live more freely and do as she pleased. She was well aware of her own abilities and knew that taking up a professional career wouldn't be a problem for her. With some spare time and energy, developing a hobby or two would also be a great try.
Since it was still early, I might as well not return to the dormitory and headed straight to the library.
There's still half a month before the mid-term exam. To be eligible for a second major, her score must rank among the top ten in her grade, so she needs to seize the time and study hard.
Although she is very confident in herself, she never underestimates others, especially in a place like Q University, which is never short of geniuses.
Not long after, my idle phone received a barrage of messages.
She opened it and found that three girls in her dormitory were asking her to go to the cafeteria for dinner. Since the misunderstanding was cleared up, the relationship between the four of them has improved a lot.
Put away the book, walk out of the library, and write back to them while walking, making an appointment to meet at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Suddenly a shadow loomed in front of her, and before she could react, she bumped into it. All she heard was a loud "crack" as her phone fell to the ground, its screen shattering into pieces.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Can't even watch where you're walking? All you know is playing with your phone!" Li Lu shouted loudly on purpose.
It was just lunchtime and there were many people coming and going at the entrance of the library, so Li Lu's loud rebuke attracted a lot of attention.
She was certain that there was no one in front of her just now. Although she was bowing her head to reply to the message, the corner of her eye was always paying attention to the road, worrying that she would bump into others.
She looked up and found it was the girl who had called her an imposter in the library that day.
It seems she has been intentionally bumped into.
Idle picked up the phone, found that it had gone black and could not be used, so he handed the phone to Li Lu and said: "Great, the phone is broken, classmate, please compensate me at a fair price."
Her mobile phone was bought when she was idle at home, which is the latest model of a certain brand at that time, with a price close to 10,000 yuan. Judging from her clothes, it's estimated that she can't afford to lose it.
"You were walking and playing with your phone, bumped into me, and now you want me to compensate you?! With so many classmates watching, how can you be so shameless?!" Li Lu said, getting louder.
The surrounding classmates also started pointing and criticizing, and some male classmates couldn't help but stand up to speak for Li Lu: "Exactly! You yourself were walking and playing with your phone, bumped into someone else, broke your phone, and didn't even apologize. How can you still ask the person who was bumped to compensate you? Isn't this extortion?"
He glanced at the boy who was speaking with a stern gaze: "Did you see me hit her with your own eyes?"
The boy was intimidated by the idle gaze and thought that he had indeed not witnessed the incident with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to speak again.
Su Lian walked out of the library and saw a crowd of people gathered at the entrance, with Li Lu's voice coming from inside, so she squeezed in.
"Rourou, what's wrong? What happened?"
Su Lian asked and then found out that Xian Yu was also in the crowd, facing off against Li Lou.
It's all right, the heroine has arrived. With her kindness, how could she see her friend in trouble and not care? It seems that someone has paid for my phone, thinking silently to myself.
"Sulian, you've finally arrived! I was standing at the library entrance waiting for you. She was walking and playing with her phone, bumped into me, not only didn't apologize to me, but also smashed her own phone, and now she wants me to compensate her! Can you believe this person's shamelessness?" Li Lu grabbed Sulian's hand and pointed at Xian Yu.
At this time, Zhou Mei and the other two people who had been waiting for a long time also found their way over. Seeing the situation, they hastily squeezed into the crowd and walked to Xian Yu's side, asking her in a low voice what had happened.
With a brief and simple explanation of the situation, seeing that class was about to end and more people were gathering, he stopped arguing and only said to Li Lu: "Excuse me, could you please look to your left?"
Li Lu looked up and saw a surveillance camera facing the library entrance, flashing red light, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Su Lian saw her face change, and she understood that things were not as Li Lu said. She walked to Xian Yu's side, held her hand, and said: "Sister, don't be angry, Li Lu is my friend, she just thinks you've occupied my parents for over a decade, and she's just standing up for me. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Su Lian's voice became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, quietly shifting the focus.
The people around heard it and immediately made a bigger fuss.
What is meant by "occupying parents for over a decade"? Besides being a mistress or an illegitimate daughter, what else could it be?
Everyone thought they had guessed the truth, and looked at the idle gaze with increasing disdain.
I was almost laughed to death.
She's even more wronged now, what a great white lotus of a prosperous age.
"She brushed off Su Lian's hand and said indifferently, 'This classmate of mine, I'm not familiar with you, don't just call anyone sister because you see them. I'm an orphan, whether or not I have sisters is something even I don't know!'"
Before Su Lian could react, Zhao Tian, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, also chimed in: "Exactly! Who is your sister? And what's with 'occupying your parents for over a decade'? Isn't it just a case of switched identities? We're also victims, okay? You make it sound like we're some kind of illegitimate children trying to steal your parents away from you. What are you even talking about?"
