Mu Huan lay slumped, refusing to move, as though she did not hear him.
If she didn’t answer, his provocation would be meaningless.
Long Feiting, who was initially looking forward to this tit-for-tat, was deflated by her reaction. Feeling disappointed, he returned to his seat.
Li Meng was held up by some matters today, and when she turned up and saw Mu Huan slumped over the table, not moving, she called out to the girl. There was no reaction.
She took off her prim-and-proper jacket and hat. Then, seeing that Mu Huan had her earpiece on, she made a move to remove it.
Mu Huan turned around. When she saw it was Li Meng, she immediately slumped over again.
“What’s the matter?” Li Meng pulled out one of her earpieces.
“Bad mood, just want to sleep,” Mu Huan said in a lackluster manner.
“Why are you in a bad mood all of a sudden? Didn’t you say last night that you were feeling good having gotten back at Lin Qingya?” Li Meng said as she took a seat.
“Because of that death-deserving scum, Long Feiting!” Mu Huan was furious.
In her life right now, apart from her granny, the most important thing to her was her studies. Publishing a paper in the AHYS journal and taking the world by storm through this research experiment was an important first step into the medical industry for her. And now, that wealthy and leisurely scum had gotten into her way!
“What did he do now?”
Mu Huan gave Li Meng the gist of what had happened.
“Freaking hell! You had put in so much effort for that experiment! And this theoretical concept was proposed by you — the experiment should not be done without your involvement!” Li Meng said angrily.
“It’s probably because the Long family has sponsored the cost of the research. This experiment does cost a lot.” Research is always a money burner, and the school never had enough funds. Hence, if anyone would fund the experiment, the professor would have no choice but to go with it.
After all, having a bottomless pit of money is every researcher’s dream.
“Get your husband to help!” Who would know better how to throw money at something?!
“Let me think of a solution first. I’ll go to him if I can’t think of anything else.” Mu Huan didn’t like to go to Bao Junyan for the slightest thing, for she feared that she would grow dependent on him.
Hence, usually after something had happened, she wouldn’t go to Bao Junyan as her first stop. Instead, she would do her best to find ways to solve the problem by herself. She would only go to him if she couldn’t resolve it.
“Uh-huh.” Li Meng knew that Mu Huan wasn’t an old-fashioned girl. When she needed help, she would ask without hesitating.
“Let me sleep for a bit. Wake me up for the next class,” Mu Huan said as she stuffed her earpiece back into her ear and slumped over the tabletop.
This class was actually Biochemistry, but because the school had not found another suitable Biochemistry teacher after Professor Wang had killed himself, the Biochemistry class had been taken over by the Political Science teacher.
Mu Huan had no interest in a non-professional subject like Political Science, so she would always wait until just before the examinations to memorize a few important points. Hence, normally, she would not listen to the lecture and would use the time to catch up on her sleep instead.
In her drowsiness, she was woken up by Li Meng forcefully shaking her.
She half-opened her tired eyes to look toward Li Meng, asking, “What’s the matter…?”
“Look! Hurry up and look!” Li Meng pointed at the lectern excitedly.
“Look at what, exactly…? I just want to sleep, I’m really tired…” Mu Huan felt that nothing exciting could come out of their Political Science teacher. Right now, she was exhausted and only wanted to sleep.
Having said that, she slumped down and continued to sleep.
However, Li Meng took Mu Huan’s face in both her hands and forced her to look in the direction of the lectern.
Mu Huan forced her eyes open with much effort, fighting against her heavy eyelids, thinking that once she had seen what Li Meng wanted her to look at, she could quickly go back to sleep.
As she did so, her eyes snapped open in shock at what she saw.
Her exhaustion suddenly vanished!
What the f*ck!
Was she dreaming or something?
