nLu Jingye looked at the young lady who was confident he would do nothing towards her. A trace of helplessness flashed past his eyes as he said, “Don’t sleep so late in the future.”

nZi Yi knew that he must have come here for something and so, she asked, “Why did you actually come over? Shouldn’t you be very busy these days?”

n“Those people have been caught.” Lu Jingye specifically came to tell her about this.

nZi Yi was not surprised that he knew what happened last night.

n“I’ve dispatched some bodyguards in the vicinity. If your cousins take that path in the future, my bodyguards will be around to ensure their safety.”

nZi Yi looked up and kissed him on the lips as she said happily, “Mr. Busybody, I find myself liking you more and more.”

nThe corner of his lips curved up and he raised his hands to support her back. “Then don’t stay up too late.”

nZi Yi: “…”

nLu Jingye left after breakfast.

nJust as Zi Yi started swiping across her tablet on the sofa, she received a call from Dou Xiaoyong.

n“Are you in school yet?”

nZi Yi had focused all her attention on the killer organization and coupled with Lu Jingye’s earlier visit, she had forgotten about the agreement.

nShe frankly said, “Nope.”

nDou Xiaoyong was silent for several seconds before he said, “I heard you live near M.Uni. I’ll wait for you at the Mechanical Department in the Science and Technology Building. Can you reach it in half an hour?”

nZi Yi was somewhat tempted when she heard him mentioning the Science and Technology Building. “I can.”

nSoon, Zi Yi appeared at the entrance of the building and Dou Xiaoyong was standing there waiting for her.

nHis tense expression subconsciously softened at the sight of Zi Yi walking over. “Since you have knowledge in machinery, I’ll take you around to check out some higher-end technologies here. Take a good look later and learn well.”

nUpon seeing how serious Dou Xiaoyong was in wanting to teach her, she did not reveal that the higher-end technologies in this world were considered ancient tech in her era. She nodded and followed him inside the building.

nIt was already half-past ten and there were many students following behind their teachers in the building.

nWhen everyone saw Zi Yi following Professor Dou, plenty of boys found themselves unable to move.

nAfter they left, the crowd started to gossip.

n“Who’s that girl around Professor Dou? How come I’ve not seen her before in the past? Oh gosh, she’s so beautiful.”

n“Quick, take a picture to upload it on the campus forum and ask if anyone has seen her. There must be many who know of such a pretty girl.”

n“Perhaps she’s our junior that Professor Dou managed to poach from somewhere else.”

n“I doubt it? Such a pretty girl is learning machinery?”

n“Could she be Professor Dou’s relative and she came here to tour around?”

n“Speaking of which, if I have such a beautiful relative, I would want to let the whole world know about it.”

n…

nThe Science and Technology Building was divided into three floors plus an underground level.

nThe first floor was where undergraduate students conducted their experiments. The second floor was for professors to bring graduate students or Ph.D. students to conduct research. The third floor was the research institute and generally, students were not allowed entry.

nAs for the underground level, it was only open to senior researchers.

nDou Xiaoyong had explained the finished products displayed on the first floor before he brought her up to one of the laboratories on the second floor.

nThere were several people inside there and they seemed to be Ph.D. students.

nThe moment they saw Dou Xiaoyong, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him. “Good morning, Professor Dou.”

nFollowing that, a few male students’ eyes uncontrollably peeked at Zi Yi. How could they still be in the mood to continue with their work?

nDou Xiaoyong’s expression tensed up. “Have you all finished your experiments? Or can you independently design a robot? All of you better continue with your work.”

nThe few male students quickly returned to their senses and continued with their work.

nDou Xiaoyong said to Zi Yi, “There are plenty of materials here. Create something for me to take a look at.”

nZi Yi took a quick glance at the laboratory. Even though there appeared to be plenty of materials, they were not considered high-end. She did not feel like doing it. “These materials aren’t good. It’s a waste of time.”

nThe group of Ph.D students who were eavesdropping: “…”

nThis beautiful girl Professor Dou had brought here was very arrogant!

nDou Xiaoyong educated her with a stern expression. “The materials here are considered high-end. It’s not a problem to create a simple robot. As a student, you shouldn’t place your sights too high. Otherwise, you will lose face if you are unable to produce results.”

nZi Yi pursed her lips and looked at him while her eyes seemed to say, ‘I won’t embarrass myself.’

nDou Xiaoyong: “…”

nCan anyone tell him if this brat before him was really his niece, who would make all sorts of excuses whenever she was asked to study?

nLooking at the current Zi Yi, Dou Xiaoyong felt that he could not get angry at her.

n“Make something that is related to a robot. If you pass my test, I’ll bring you to the third floor.”

nThe few Ph.D. students: “…!”

nDid their ears fail them?

nThe Professor Dou who was nicknamed the devil professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department in M.Uni, was actually coaxing a young girl to conduct experiments?

nZi Yi thought for a moment and nodded. She walked towards the pile of materials and asked, “What kind of robot do you want me to make?”

nEveryone at present: “…”

nThat question of hers was very strange!

nDou Xiaoyong said, “Make it to the best of your abilities. Create whatever you’re capable of creating.”

n“Okay.”

nZi Yi quickly took the parts which she required to create the robot.

nShe then walked to an assembly station and connected the circuit.

nDou Xiaoyong stood beside her and spectated without uttering a single word.

nThe group of Ph.D. students were unable to remain calm and they had all gathered at her table.

n“Does this junior know how to make robots? Why did Professor Dou suddenly become so nice?”

n“Such a pretty junior must definitely be Professor Dou’s relative. However… so it turns out that Professor Dou is also part of the appearance gang!”

nUpon hearing their whispers, he shot them a stern gaze. “You better take a good look at what’s called talent. Don’t always look at people based on their appearance.”

nThe several students could only mutter in their hearts, ‘Does this student have anything more amazing than her appearance?’

nHowever, since Professor Dou had spoken up, they dared not continue talking and looked at Zi Yi assembling the parts seriously.

nAfter they shifted their attention to Zi Yi, what remained were only their shocked emotions.

nHalf an hour later, Zi Yi asked Dou Xiaoyong, “Is there a control panel retrofit machine? There are many bugs in the control panel and the program is unable to be debugged.”

nDou Xiaoyong remained silent for several seconds and said, “Take the control panel and come with me.”

nZi Yi took the control panel and followed Dou Xiaoyong outside.

nThe few students subconsciously wanted to follow them.

nWhen they arrived at the door, Dou Xiaoyong sternly said, “Who allowed you to follow?”

nIn the end, their feet could only stop in their tracks.

nDou Xiaoyong brought Zi Yi up to the third floor. Just as they entered one of the laboratories, they saw a middle-aged man around Dou Xiaoyong’s age walking over.

nHe looked at Zi Yi who Dou Xiaoyong had brought with him, furrowed his brows, and blocked him. “Professor Dou, students are not allowed on the third floor.”
