Chapter 1360: Group Dinner

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Group Dinner

"Research Institute? Didn’t Uncle just return from the Nanhai Research Institute? Has there been new progress in combating cancer?" Lin Tian asked.

Zhao Qingtang replied, "No, it’s just that some work hasn’t been completed yet."

Xu Wan said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Work, work, ever since your dad came back from Nanhai, it’s like the workplace is his home, and we can’t even have a meal together once a week. I thought we could spend more time together once he came back from Nanhai."

No wonder Xu Wan was upset. Her son had clearly returned from thousands of miles away, yet she couldn’t see him every day. Could she be happy?

Zhang Youling comforted her, "Mom, after he finishes his work in a couple of days, he’ll be able to rest for a few days. Then we can all go out and have fun together, right?"

After hearing this, Xu Wan showed a slight smile and said, "This sounds more reasonable."

After finishing dinner, and staying at the teacher’s house for a while, Lin Tian finally said goodbye with Liou Qingcheng. Zhao Qingtang accompanied them all the way downstairs before turning back.

Before leaving, Hu Gaofei gave Lin Tian a bottle of medicinal wine, which Lin Tian carried in his hand. For him, this weight was hardly anything.

It was already eight o’clock in the evening by this time, with a scarce moon but fresh breeze invigorating one’s spirit.

Liou Qingcheng suddenly liked this serene atmosphere and took the initiative to hold Lin Tian’s hand, saying, "Why is Mr. Hu suddenly so nice to you?"

Lin Tian shook the bottle of medicinal wine in his hand and laughed, "Nice, huh?"

"Of course. You might not know, but both Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhao are similar in temperament, they don’t like students skipping classes. Usually, when they hear your name or the names of other skipping classmates, their faces don’t look good. But earlier at dinner, he seemed almost like brothers with you."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes. If it were Li in your place just now, Mr. Hu wouldn’t have treated him so well. So~ be honest and explain yourself!" Liou Qingcheng looked at Lin Tian with an expression that screamed, ’Confession will be treated leniently, resistance will be strict.’

Lin Tian chuckled and asked, "Do you know the ’Lancet’?"

Lin Tian originally wanted to brag to Liou Qingcheng about how formidable ’Lancet’ is, but unexpectedly this girl nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I’ve read it before. What’s up?"

"Next time when it comes to things like this, just say you don’t know." Lin Tian said seriously.

"Haha~" Seeing through some of Lin Tian’s little schemes, Liou Qingcheng laughed, and then imitated Lin Tian’s serious expression saying, "Okay then, I know nothing, tell me."

Lin Tian didn’t repeat but simply said, "Remember the pharmacology exam this morning? When we checked the answers, you said that what I wrote was completely different from what your class learned?"

"Of course I remember, this just happened this morning, my memory isn’t that bad."

Lin Tian swung Liou Qingcheng’s hand slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Hu also noticed the unusualness in it, but he saw the value. He wants to compile it and write a paper, then apply to publish in ’Lancet’. I’ll be the first author, and he will be the mentor on it."

Upon hearing this, Liou Qingcheng blinked her eyes adorably as if digesting this information.

After three or four seconds, Liou Qingcheng asked, "You’re not joking with me, are you?"

Lin Tian smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"What you wrote this morning, is it really that amazing?" Liou Qingcheng suddenly felt confused; she really didn’t feel what Lin Tian wrote had any value. After all, she was only a freshman and didn’t have much understanding of these things yet, so naturally, she wasn’t feeling it.

"I think publishing in ’Lancet’ will be challenging, so I need to write some additional content." Lin Tian said.

Liou Qingcheng blinked again, smiled and said, "No wonder he’s so nice to you."

Suddenly, Liou Qingcheng wrapped her arms around Lin Tian’s neck and gave him a big kiss on his cheek, leaving a light lipstick mark. Even then, Liou Qingcheng refused to let go, clinging as if playfully demanding attention.

Lin Tian turned to look at her, inhaling the fragrance from Liou Qingcheng, and asked, "What’s up?"

"I just suddenly feel that my eye for people is spot on! How come you’re so amazing?"

"Maybe it’s just you bringing me good luck as your husband."

...

Two days later, the semester exams finally ended.

To avoid causing situations like before, Lin Tian would take time every day to review the content in the textbook, as well as Liou Qingcheng’s notes. This was to avoid writing any shocking answers again during exams.

This was done not only to avoid trouble for himself but also because he needed to share answers with Li. If their answers were both too extraordinary, then... how would that be different from turning themselves in? There would be no escaping punishment.

Besides, Lin Tian heard an amusing story from Zhao Xuefeng. Every time after the exams, Professor Hu Gaofei would specifically have someone find Lin Tian’s and Li’s exam papers and then personally review them.

Unfortunately, this elderly professor did not find anything valuable on the papers.

The Ancient Medicine Class 42 had a class group chat for releasing information, like exam dates, or teacher’s leave, makeup classes, and homework assignments, all published in the class group chat.

Now that it was the end-of-semester exams, the group chat was lively. The hottest topic was: the class dinner!

Last semester, the dinner didn’t happen because everyone went home for New Year’s, but now that the freshman year has ended, it’s fitting for everyone to gather for a dinner after a year together.

Liou Qingcheng, as the class president of Ancient Medicine Class 42, naturally was one of the organizers for such events. After discussions among several class leaders and the agreement of most classmates, the time was set for the day after exams, at a restaurant on Student Street outside the school.

Each student had to pay an upfront fee of 200 yuan. If bringing a partner, then an additional fee. Expenditures were transparent.

As a member of Ancient Medicine Class 42 and head of the security team, Lin Tian was embarrassingly unaware of this news until after exams when Liou Qingcheng mentioned it.

Liou Qingcheng grabbed Lin Tian’s hand, swaying his arm like a playful little girl, pouting lightly, "Boyfriends from other classes are all going, you should go with me. Otherwise, I’ll be so lonely."

Lin Tian wasn’t against attending the dinner in the first place, and now with Liou Qingcheng acting so affectionately, he felt his heart melting, how could he refuse?

"I’m going! Definitely going! We should wear matching outfits tomorrow!" Lin Tian said almost without thinking.
