SIAS Chapter 280.2

Li Mei led her to an empty classroom.

“Yi Qingqing, are you dating Yun Guyuan from the clinical medicine department?”

Yi Qingqing nodded calmly on the surface, but her mind was full of questions.

Had the two of them been so high-profile that even the teacher knew about it?

“Ahem, it’s normal for people your age to date, but as the top student in our pharmaceutical class, your teachers value your future very much. You must seize this learning opportunity, study hard, and don’t let your attention wander to other things. Now that the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences is back under the leadership of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pharmaceutical science is a very promising field with a talent shortage. Work hard! Women can hold up half the sky now; we are no less capable than men. We should have our own careers…”

Yi Qingqing showed the same patience she had when listening to the aunties in her team tell stories, nodding occasionally to show that she was listening attentively and agreed wholeheartedly.

In fact, she was already confused by Teacher Li Mei’s repeated, roundabout ways of telling her to study hard, not to get distracted, and that pharmaceuticals had a bright future. She always felt that there was a bit of worry in Teacher Li Mei’s eyes when she looked at her.

“In short, you must remember what I said. Don’t waste your talent. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me.” Li Mei said, her mouth dry.

She was afraid that the top student in their pharmaceutical class would be lured away by a man from the clinical medicine department and fall behind in her studies!

In matters of the heart, girls are most likely to suffer. If there’s a small conflict in the relationship, they might not be able to let it go, and it can easily affect their studies.

Wasn’t she distracted by that scoundrel Yu Zuzheng and waste a lot of time back then?

Yi Qingqing nodded again: “Thank you, Teacher Li Mei. Don’t worry, I will cherish this learning opportunity and study pharmaceuticals diligently!”

“Okay, I believe in you, keep it up!” Li Mei patted her on the shoulder.

“Go on, class is about to start!”

Yi Qingqing left the empty classroom in a daze and returned to her class.

As soon as she sat down, Song Hemei asked, “What’s wrong? What does Teacher Li Mei want with you?”

“She wants me to study harder?” Yi Qingqing was completely bewildered.

“Aren’t you studying hard enough?”

Song Hemei’s jaw almost dropped in astonishment. This girl even went on dates in the library!

Whenever she had a question, she would ask her, and she could answer it. The key thing was that, apart from the same subjects, there was a time when she didn’t have time to ask the teacher about a pharmaceutical engineering question, but she mentioned it to Yi Qingqing, and she answered it for her.

The next day, she found an opportunity to ask her teacher, and it was indeed exactly the same.

Out of curiosity, she tried it a few more times, and Yi Qingqing was like a bottomless pit, knowing everything.

It wasn’t until she went to borrow books as recommended by her teacher that she discovered Yi Qingqing’s name on the library cards for books related to pharmaceutical engineering. Only then did she realize that this person treated the library as her second home.

Others went to the library to study, but Yi Qingqing went to learn new things.

Looking at Chen Zhen, the class monitor who practically acts as a second teacher after every get-out-of-class, Song Hemei suddenly felt incredibly inferior.

Yi Qingqing was the only one Song Hemei knew who studied diligently behind the scenes. She was incredibly low-key and studied exceptionally hard, yet she was still being urged to study?

Did that mean her own situation was even more serious?

“Maybe she is worried that if I’m dating, it will affect my studies.” Yi Qingqing said.

She also remembered running into the clinical medicine class counselor yesterday.

Maybe the news of their relationship had spread among the teachers!
