Chapter 283  : Stay Away from Me, Cousin

Professor Yue turned and smiled at Tan Mo.

In truth, he had a feeling that this young lady was not telling the truth.

He had a feeling that this young lady definitely knew more methods of solving this question.

However, it would be useless if the young lady did not want to reveal them.

Professor Yue also didn’t have the intention to invite Tan Mo to join his research team currently.

It was not that he didn’t want to.

Professor Yue was also someone who valued talent.

Just by looking at the two methods employed by Tan Mo, he was able to judge her level of mastery of his subject.

While he was not able to judge the upper limits of her ability based on this one question, she was at least not inferior to Ming Yeqing.

With that, she definitely was qualified to join his research team.

However, he recalled that Tan Mo had already joined Professor Guo’s and Professor Zhao’s research teams.

Unless this young lady had three heads and six arms, she would not be able to cope.

Professor Yue was not as anxious as the other professors.

After all, he had a talent such as Ming Yeqing already.

So Professor Yue decided to observe Tan Mo further.

He would wait until Professor Guo’s or Professor Zhao’s research projects had ended before he would invite Tan Mo to join his team.

It also happened that his current project was now already more than halfway completed.

It would be better to wait for the current project to end and, when a new project started, then Tan Mo could join from the start.

Although Professor Yue did not mention his plan now, he had already started to pay attention to Tan Mo.

“Why are there so many people here?” Professor Yue asked as he finally noticed that the classroom was packed. He found it ridiculous.

Why were students from other classes here?

They could not possibly say that they had specially come to see Tan Mo.

They were using a lot of excuses like, “We heard that Tan Mo was solving the question, and we came over out of curiosity.”

“Please leave after you are finished looking. This is after all not your class,” Professor Yue said.

The students from other classes did not dare to stay and quickly left.

After all these people had left, Ming Yeqing’s classroom was much emptier.

Other than Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing’s fellow classmates, only Yuan Keqing was left in the classroom.

Yuan Keqing’s classmates had had to wait outside the classroom.

They had been unable to enter due to the large number of people who had been in there just now.

However, now, they did not dare to enter even though the other students had already left.

“You are…” Professor Yue asked Yuan Keqing.

While he might not be able to address all the students of the Aerospace Engineering Department by name, he would at least find them a little familiar.

However, Yuan Keqing was a new face to him.

Moreover, Yuan Keqing had had a lost expression while she was watching Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing answer the question.

It was evident that she did not understand a single thing.

Then it was for certain that she could not be a student of this major.

The Beijing university student who was in charge of leading the group that Yuan Keqing had been in entered the classroom and explained to Professor Yue, “They are students of Shijing International School who are here to tour our school.”

Professor Yue was aware of Shijing International School.

“If there is nothing else, you may continue taking them on the tour. However, do not enter the classrooms as that may affect the studies of the students,” Professor Yue instructed.

“Okay,” the student explained, “I originally wanted them to just walk along the corridor, but unexpectedly…”

Yuan Keqing had suddenly barged into the classroom.

Wasn’t that putting the student in a tight spot?

The student in charge had said to Yuan Keqing and the other students, “Everyone must keep order on this tour and should not barge into any place recklessly. If you want to go somewhere, at least ask me if it is all right to do so. If you are not able to keep order, I can only stop this tour.”

The students agreed one after another.

A student could not help but complain about Yuan Keqing. “Yuan Keqing, do not run off again. Because of what you did, we are all being seen as disorderly.”

She had implicated them as people who create trouble.

“I am sorry,” Yuan Keqing apologized profusely. “I…I saw my cousin and was too excited. I only thought of wanting to see my cousin, to talk to her, and forgot where I was.”

“Let’s go to the next place.” The student in charge did not want to bother saying anything more to Yuan Keqing and only wanted to complete this task. “There is a time restriction for this tour. If the time is up, and we are unable to complete the tour, then you will not be able to continue touring.”

He did not want to continue debating with Yuan Keqing.

If he had known earlier, he would not have led this group for the extra credits.

Who knew that he would meet such an oddball?

Yuan Keqing could tell that the students were still blaming her and that it did not occur to them that as Tan Mo’s cousin, if she wanted to tour around, she could approach Tan Mo directly.

To show off, Yuan Keqing said to Tan Mo, “Cousin, I will come here again to find you.”

What did this mean?

It meant that if she wanted to enter Beijing University, she could do so at any time.

“That won’t do,” Tan Mo said with a troubled expression. “I am afraid that being with me could cause shame to you. You should stay farther away from me in the future.”

Once Tan Mo said that, snickers from Yuan Keqing’s class were heard, and they were from quite a few different people.

It was obvious that Tan Mo did not want to have anything to do with her, and it was just an excuse when she said that she was afraid to cause shame to Yuan Keqing.

Did she really think that everyone could not tell she had been pushing Tan Mo into a corner earlier in front of so many people?

Yuan Keqing did not expect that Tan Mo would embarrass her in public.

She was about to speak when Professor Yue said to the student in charge, “Quickly take the students away to tour.”

“Okay,” the student agreed.

He quickly urged Yuan Keqing to leave and did not give her the chance to stay in the classroom.

After they had all left, Professor Yue asked, “Why are all of you here after class has ended?”

“We were attempting the team homework,” Ming Yeqing answered.

Professor Yue nodded. “All right, then, all of you may continue.”

Professor Yue glanced at Tan Mo again.

He was very curious about Tan Mo’s level of mastery of aerospace engineering.

However, he had also deduced from the professors daily bragging that

this young lady Tan Mo was very lazy.

It was highly likely that he would not obtain an answer if he had asked her directly.

Therefore, Professor Yue decided to ask Ming Yeqing another time.

It would probably be a more truthful answer than what Tan Mo would say.

After Professor Yue left, the students were unable to continue working on the team homework.

They were all still in shock that Tan Mo could solve Professor Yue’s question.

They felt that it was normal for Ming Yeqing to solve the question.

Although Ming Yeqing had mentioned earlier that he had further to go to complete the problem before he could obtain the answer.

However, when Ming Yeqing was answering the question earlier, he had written the content that he had planned to calculate tonight ahead of time.

And his calculations were correct on his first try.

Ming Yeqing had also been inspired by Tan Mo, and he’d even thought of another solution.

Now, everyone was more interested in discussing Tan Mo than in solving the question that completed the team homework.

They asked Tan Mo many questions at the same time: such as her thought processes in deriving the solution, how did she have knowledge of this major, and more.

Regarding her thought processes, Tan Mo did not hide anything.

However, regarding why she had knowledge in this field, Tan Mo explained half-truthfully.
