After a week, Zhao Caihua asked Kang Sinuo and Jin Lu to have breakfast together. Her diet was more Hong Kong-style, so she liked shrimp dumplings and porridge, especially seafood porridge. It was soft and fragrant, tasting especially flavorful. After a long time, it still left a fragrance on her lips.
Kang Sinuo’s taste was very similar to hers, so she usually ate well. However, she seemed to have lost her appetite today and kept scooping the porridge in the small porcelain bowl with a spoon. Zhao Caihua lowered her eyes, thinking that she was secretly sad because of Yangyang’s matter. She immediately took a deep look at Jin Lu. Jin Lu was usually so warm and sunny, but at this moment, he was also listless and a little depressed. Zhao Caihua did not know what to say for a moment. Both her disciples were like this for someone they could not have… Meanwhile, she was the opposite of them when she was young. She could have…
Forget it. Zhao Caihua forcefully cut off her thoughts. It had been a long time. What else was there to say?
“There’ll be a small seminar in B City. I really can’t do it alone. Jin Lu, acpany Sinuo there.”
Jin Lu was stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but Kang Sinuo beat him to it. “Academician, I’ve been very busy recently. I don’t have time to go. You should find someone else.”
Her reaction surprised Zhao Caihua. Could it be that she had given up? However, Zhao Caihua observed that her attitude was natural and calm. There was no trace of excessive sadness. Zhao Caihua suddenly could not figure it out.
Fortunately, because of her words, Jin Lu heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he took the initiative to introduce to Zhao Caihua, saying, “Academician, there’s a good junior in our institute. Can you let him go?”
Zhao Caihua waved her hand. “I’ll leave this to you. Make your own decision.”
She couldn’t understand the young people either. They were like a summer evening. They changed every now and then.
Kang Sinuo still had her head down, thinking about her own affairs. She had been texting the president of Shengrui every day for some time, asking for advice. Although she texted him every day, he only replied once every two or three days. However, his replies were spot-on, impeccable, and admirable. Not only did he understand the academic side of things, but he also had a unique understanding of economic management. Gradually, Kang Sinuo came to her senses and realized that what she had felt for Jin Lu before was nothing more than reliance. Although she didn’t exactly like the president, she had grown fond of him. She was looking forward to the day when they would meet. She had even marked that day in her calendar with a special symbol. It wasn’t that she hadn’t had a boyfriend before, but that was only because everyone around her had tried to persuade her that the guys were very good to her. That was how she ended up getting together with them. Each time, the relationship didn’t last more than a month. She eventually got bored. This time, though, she felt like a young girl in love.
Kang Sinuo lowered her head and gently caressed the WeChat profile picture on her phone screen. She chuckled.

In the dormitory—
“Yangyang, what have you been busy with recently?” Luo Mengmeng stared at her, her eyes shining with gossip. She wanted to know some things about her relationship with her boyfriend.
“Just some intern work.” Sheng Yang put down her phone expressionlessly.
“Oh.” Luo Mengmeng’s pricked ears drooped in disappointment. Then, she exclaimed in surprise, “You’re already an intern?” As far as she knew, weren’t internships for juniors?
Sheng Yang spread her hands and sat down in the chair, looking like a tyrant. “I guess.”
