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

"nc..."

Although he had been away from the research group for half a month, Jiang Qian still couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

nc!

It's a major sub-journal!

Although Jiang Qian had not met many doctoral students from his own university, that damned old Yang's group's graduation standard was three papers in the first-tier journal.

But he also knew that a paper like this might not even get him a PhD at some of the less prestigious universities.

That's enough to be a stepping stone for a PhD from a non-985/211 university to get a teaching position.

"But they didn't take me?"

However, after thinking about it, Jiang Qian quickly let it go.

So what if I'm being stupid?

He's no longer involved in academia. He's now prepared to pursue a professional master's degree with a GPA of Rank 2. If Dai Zhenli's business succeeds after graduation, they'll start a business together. If not, he'll be a leisurely fisherman, which is fine too.

Anyway, we won't go hungry.

Wait a minute, something seems out of place in my future plans. To be honest, starting a business wasn't part of my plans after graduating with my master's degree...

"but……"

One NC (non-intelligence) paper in Lao Yang's lab is almost equivalent to the output of an entire military regiment in a year...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qian replied to Senior Brother Wang:

"I won't go. Did Senior Brother Wang get the attribution yet?"

[Senior Brother Wang]: I got a third author... I don't even know how to thank you enough.

Wow, awesome, there's even an author order like this.

Jiang Qian smiled and said, "Three times."

This was exactly what he expected. He was the first author of the paper, and his senior brother Wang was the second, but in the end, his senior brother Wang was the third author and he didn't even have a name.

"never mind……"

Let's not talk about that anymore.

Carrying the money back to his happy hometown, Jiang Qian walked step by step to Dai Zhenli's door.

I pushed open the door, only to find an orange cat inside.

There was a kitten doorbell and a piece of whole wheat bread on the ground.

"What are you doing here, Cat Boss?"

The cat owner was clearly quite unhappy that Jiang Qian hadn't taken it fishing that morning, and slammed its tail into the ground.

Jiang Qian was somewhat helpless. He had no choice but to leave the cat owner behind that morning. He was afraid that with the cat owner's personality, he would turn into a cat tornado and destroy the parking lot, directly sweeping away everyone's catch...

Seeing that the cat owner looked like he hadn't eaten enough, Jiang Qian went into the room.

I was just about to ask where Dai Zhenli was when I looked up and found...

A very pretty girl stood before me, wearing only a thin nightgown, her hair loose behind her. She opened the door with a wary expression. Although the nightgown was loose, it still showed off her figure.

This garment is so big, it's almost overflowing...

Jiang Qian stared blankly at Dai Zhenli, and then Dai Zhenli also glanced at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian's system crashed.

"Holy crap, that's huge..." That was his first thought, and he immediately looked down.

"I didn't see anything!"

As he looked down, he seemed to hear Dai Zhenli's soft laughter, and when he looked up again, he saw Dai Zhenli dressed.

She was wearing a brown long dress today, which she simply draped over her shoulders.

"This outfit looks familiar... I feel like I've seen it before when I was masturbating last night..." Jiang Qian thought to himself.

Those who seek truth are forbidden from masturbating! It will prevent you from publishing a single nonsensical article for six months!

Dai Zhenli glanced down at herself, then looked up at Jiang Qian's expression. Her face flushed slightly, and she had no intention of teasing him.

Jiang Qian suddenly turned his head, his gaze drifting towards the ceiling.

"I swear to God, I didn't mean to... I asked the cat owner where you were when I came in, intending to find you, but you came out as soon as I entered... I really didn't mean to..."

Seeing Jiang Qian's flustered attempt to explain, Dai Zhenli's flushed face finally calmed down a bit, but she still said angrily:

"Have you seen enough? Was it good?"

"So big... no, so beautiful!" Jiang Qian felt that his brain's language system was overloaded. He really didn't expect to see such a scene today.

Byd, this time I'm definitely not a virgin anymore. That situation was so intense it would make anyone furious. That skirt was totally see-through; you could clearly see what was underneath...

Dai Zhenli crossed her arms, tilted her head to examine his profile, and seeing Jiang Qian like this, she was in a great mood:

"Jiang Qian".

"Um."

"You're blushing."

"no."

"You don't even dare to look at me now."

Jiang Qian took a deep breath, steeled himself and turned back, his gaze fixed on her face, not moving an inch downwards.

Dai Zhenli smiled and said:

"Did you come to see me about something?"

Jiang Qian calmed himself down, explained about the bucket incident, mentioned his fishing catch that day, and finally got to the main topic.

I want to move out.

Dai Zhenli paused for a moment.

"Move out?"

"Yeah, that's right, because I'm not staying at the school much anymore... Come to think of it, it's almost midterms and I don't think I've met any of the Inorganic Analysis and Bioinformatics professors yet... But right now I'm thinking of renting a place."

"After all, it's not convenient to be at school every day."

"Hmm...that's good news," Dai Zhenli said with a smile. "Okay, I'll ask my landlord for you."

"Now that I've done you such a big favor, would you like to do me a favor in return?"

Jiang Qian was taken aback. He knew very well that Dai Zhenli was the type with high offense and low defense, but spending so much time in the lab had made him completely devoid of any aggression towards the opposite sex...

He is slowly recovering and believes that one day he will regain his former glory!

but not now.

Dai Zhenli looked at him and said, "Treat me to a meal! There's a dessert place I really want to try this afternoon. After we finish dessert, we can go for hot pot. After hot pot, I want to go to the little bar near the Gate of the Orient. You're not allowed to drink there, and you have to take me back..."

The cat owner was puzzled; he had a bad feeling.

Jiang Qian stared blankly as Dai Zhenli explained the plan, sentence by sentence, revealing that she had already arranged the itinerary starting in the afternoon.

With the offensive module loaded, Jiang Qian smiled and said, "It's all arranged already? How long have you been planning this?"

Seeing Jiang Qian's slightly flushed face, Dai Zhenli scolded, "You're overthinking it!"

"What plans do I have to make with you? I just... I just want to go out and have some fun, and I need someone to go with. Are you coming or not?"

Jiang Qian chuckled. Sure enough, high offense, low defense. "Go!"

"Let me change my clothes."

Jiang Qian sat quietly on the sofa, while the cat owner jumped into his hands and meowed.

Jiang Qian didn't understand what it meant either, but Dai Zhen quickly figured it out.

His eyes lit up immediately.

She truly embodied Jiang Qian's ideal type.

She was wearing a light black dress and her hair was tied in a high ponytail.

It's strange... Jiang Qian thought to himself, he clearly hadn't told her about his preferences.

Seeing Jiang Qian's appearance, Dai Zhenli lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled around, smiling as she said, "What's wrong? Do you like me like this?"

……

Seeing the two of them rubbing their hands together in anticipation, Boss Cat suddenly realized something.

The result of these two people chatting like this.

He missed breakfast, lunch, and dinner all today...

I looked at the carpet and at the cat food bag.

It had a brilliant idea...
