I'm a junior in college this year, and I've linked my fishing check-in system.

The round-faced girl who had been eating and drinking heartily just moments before was now smiling at Jiang Qian's anxious expression. However, the Cornetto she was holding fell to the ground, and she looked at the ice cream on the ground with a sense of dejection.

Dai Zhenli was in a great mood and stuffed the unfinished ice cream back into her mouth, saying, "Mine is yours, mine is yours."

……

Gu Siqiao looked at Jiang Qian, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "So, the reason you and Yang Wensu fell out was essentially because you couldn't take it anymore?"

She chuckled, "Back then, Yang Wensu and her girlfriends all told us that you entered this lab because you had feelings for her."

"Otherwise, Yang Kai's lab was notorious for being a shady brick kiln. What would a little genius like you, who was already quite famous back then, do inside?"

It's heartbreaking to hear and tear-jerking to see; I'm definitely not a simp...

Forget it.

Back then, Jiang Qian was simply bewitched and searched for mentor reviews on Xiaohongshu. He found that Yang Kai had the best reputation among those with high professional titles, with almost no negative reviews. Moreover, Jiang Qian thought that no matter what, Yang Kai couldn't possibly harm undergraduates.

Once inside, I realized that someone as influential as Yang Kai from BYD would force graduate students to post promotional articles for him!

Wait, will I have to clarify this issue every time I meet someone in academia in the future...? Jiang Qian felt deeply saddened:

"So the misunderstanding started all along..."

He said indignantly, "No way, Yang Wensu might not have a mirror, but she'll still pee, right? Damn it, why would I be interested in her?"

In a moment of desperation...

Gu Siqiao's eyes darted around; she didn't believe that Jiang Qian really had no feelings for Yang Wensu back then.

After all, one can't really become a beast of burden just to pursue academic research, can one?

She blinked and looked at Jiang Qian: "Since that's the case, have you thought about it?"

"Yang Wensu is ultimately a hidden danger."

"He's recruited a new batch of undergraduates, supposedly to replace you, and he's going to expose your misdeeds."

"Yang Kai said you're just an arrogant undergraduate who mistakes the platform for your own ability."

Jiang Qian sneered: "Oh? Doesn't Yang Kai know how he got those papers before I arrived?"

"Weren't his hats all earned through the blood, sweat, and tears of his doctoral and graduate students over the past few years?"

Gu Siqiao shook her head. "Never mind."

"You go first..." she said with a grin, "...chat with your senior."

After Dai Zhenli was overjoyed, she finally found an opportunity to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't get excited."

"Siqiao was just asking casually, look at you, you're so anxious."

"I'm not in a hurry!"

Jiang Qian turned to look at Dai Zhenli.

Actually, it's hard to say whether the reason they're in such a hurry to clarify is because they don't want to create any dramatic misunderstandings in front of this person.

Just then, the boy who hadn't said a word walked over.

He was also carrying a red bucket, which contained a lot of aquatic products.

"Zhenli, this is for you."

The boy handed the bucket to Dai Zhenli with a polite smile.

Jiang Qian glanced at him: quick-drying T-shirt, hair gel, a forced smile, half-rimmed glasses… My god, so standard…

He glanced to the side and saw that the round-faced girl had already been settled by Dai Zhenli...

She sat to the side, munching on an ice cream cone, watching the scene with a gossipy expression.

He's a bloodthirsty spectator too...

Jiang Qian thought to himself, "Kid, is it really okay for you to be so obsessed with gossip at your age?"

Dai Zhenli glanced at the contents of the bucket. There were shrimp and clams, and they looked quite good, but it was obvious at a glance that they weren't from beachcombing.

Can you find these clean and neatly arranged shrimp while beachcombing?

Just kidding.

"Zhou, no need, no need, we don't have a competition."

The boy, Zhou Yilin, smiled and said, "It's not all for you. We're all eating together. We just happened to be out having fun today."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian noticed that look; he was all too familiar with it, having seen it countless times in college.

It's that kind of look where you pretend not to care when you see a competitor, but you're actually extremely concerned.

But Jiang Qian didn't understand, "Brother, what are you up to by jumping out at this time?"

Zhou Yilin was naturally unconvinced.

He started pursuing her as early as his freshman year of college!

But for some reason, Dai Zhenli never paid any attention to him!

The man today looked rather rustic, like a fisherman.

How could someone like that be worthy of her?

Zhou Yilin was unconvinced!

This person must have done something unknown that caused Dai Zhenli to have the wrong impression!

He felt that it must be so!

What kind of person would someone be if even Yang Wensu didn't want them?

Thinking of this, he indignantly opened his phone and sent a message to Yang Wensu.

Seeing the group chatting happily, he vowed to expose the hypocrite's true colors!

Lin's phone vibrated shortly after he sent the message on Monday.

He glanced at the caller ID, a slight smile playing on his lips, then turned and walked to the side to answer the phone.

"Senior sister, senior sister, I ran into Jiang Qian."

"He's out on the beach right now, gathering seafood, dressed like a fisherman, covered in mud."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the Jiang Qian you mentioned."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Yang Wensu's voice came through: "I understand."

"I will go find him."

Zhou Yilin hesitated for a moment. If he blew it up in front of Dai Zhenli, would she look down on him...?

do not care.

He is righteous, and Dai Zhenli should appreciate this behavior.

There was a two-second silence on the other end, then the call ended.

Zhou Yilin stared at the black screen, feeling a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.

He was just providing information.

As for how Yang Wensu uses this information, that's none of his business.

Jiang Qian was squatting on the ground examining the spoils in the red bucket, calculating how much this trip was worth, when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Feed?"

"Jiang Qian".

He knew that voice all too well.

Even if he hadn't heard it for several months, he could recognize it in a second.

Yang Wensu.

"Oh, Yang." Jiang Qian's tone was as indifferent as if he were answering a delivery call. "What's up?"

"I heard you're catching crabs at the beach now?"

Yang Wensu's voice had an indescribable quality; it wasn't fierce, but it was definitely not friendly.

Jiang Qian glanced at the hairy crabs and razor clams in the red bucket, then at the four-pound, three-ounce tilefish that was separately packed in a plastic bag next to it, and smiled.

He was just thinking that Gu Siqiao was right.

Gu Siqiao hoped he could sort out these feelings, but what he heard made him think of something else entirely.

She should have confessed to Yang Wensu a long time ago.

At the very least, Yang Wensu cannot continue to believe that he loved her... that would be a complete disgrace.

Just when I'm about to doze off, someone brings me a pillow?

"Yes, we caught crabs, dug up razor clams, and even found a fish."

"What's wrong?"

At the same time, there was another voice in the hands-free audio:

"Senior Sister Yang, this system is absolutely terrible!"

"This Jiang Qian is truly a piece of trash whose reputation is undeserved."
