I'm a scientist, why can't I have faith?

The harmonious atmosphere among the three left Su Yuran, who was standing to the side, completely stunned.

Unexpectedly, the problem she was most worried about was solved so easily. The two senior students seemed to really like this classmate she had dragged along to make up the numbers.

It seems my uncle is reliable for once...

Du Fan, who was on a business trip out of town, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Then let me formally introduce myself."

As a team, having a good atmosphere is extremely important, and first impressions are often crucial in this process.

Therefore, as the team's founder, Su Yu solemnly reintroduced the team members.

Of course, she was mainly saying this to Wang Dong, since she was already quite familiar with the two senior students.

After listening to Su Yuran's introduction, Wang Dong politely greeted the two senior students.

Wei Linfeng and Lan Ce returned the greeting politely.

Wang Dong was surprised by the impressive resumes of his two senior classmates and felt extremely lucky to have joined such a reliable team.

"Then I'll submit the version of the algorithm that my junior optimized for the preliminary round."

After discussing a series of competition details, the team's first in-person meeting ended.

The main reason is that both senior students are very busy, and their graduation projects and application documents are not easy tasks.

If Wang Dong's comment hadn't truly shocked the two bigwigs, they might have only held online meetings until the finals.

Preparations for the "East Asia Smart Cup" have officially come to an end; all that remains is to wait for notification of the finals.

After all, it's an algorithm designed by two people, an ACM gold medalist and a first-author of a top CVPR journal. If they still weren't confident of passing the preliminary round, then they were really dreaming.

However, for Wang Dong, his preparations had only just begun.

After all, the time he spent from first encountering artificial intelligence to starting to learn it was only a short half-month.

What he has learned in the past two weeks is just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire field. In order not to hold the team back, he needs to continue to study in greater depth.

He even consulted two senior students for advice, and they generously shared their knowledge with such a studious junior.

Not only did they explain to him how to plan his study schedule, but they also provided Wang Dong with many valuable suggestions, which undoubtedly helped him avoid many pitfalls in his subsequent studies.

His future life will only become busier.

As noon approached, Wang Dong was thinking about where to eat, since Gong Zhan had just messaged him asking him to bring back some food.

He was completely oblivious to Su Yuran's somewhat unnatural expression beside him.

"Um... junior, want to grab a bite to eat together?"

"Ah, okay, senior."

Wang Dong's answer was completely subconscious; he had no idea what he had agreed to.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting face-to-face with his senior in the cafeteria.

When a boy and a girl go out to eat alone... is that considered a date?

The thought of this made Wang Dong's body stiffen involuntarily.

However, judging from Su Yuran's expression, it seems that this is just a normal dinner between the boss and the employees.

The description of "boss and employee" is quite apt.

After all, Su Yuran clearly occupies a higher ecological niche in their team.

Wang Dong suddenly felt a little dizzy. How could he imagine that this was a date with his senior?

It was just a meal, and Shangguan Sihan's previous invitation to travel was just friends keeping each other company.

Why do I always think about dating?

It must be because of that kid Gong Zhan...

However, on the other side of the table, Su Yuran appeared calm and relaxed, but in reality, she was in a state of turmoil.

Ugh, how did I end up asking this junior out? Does he think I'm a promiscuous person...?

I feel like I'm being stared at. But up close, the younger student seems even more handsome. I really want to touch his face...

Huh? Why would I think that?

No, this is so embarrassing...

Su Yuran is naturally drawn to handsome men, especially high-quality ones like Wang Dong, who is even acknowledged by two senior students.

However, Su Yuran kept all these thoughts well hidden in her heart and did not reveal them at all.

From a third-person perspective, it's just two handsome men and beautiful women having a quiet meal in the center of the cafeteria.

Both of them were very aloof and barely communicated verbally, but their expressions showed a great deal of understanding between them.

With just a simple exchange of glances, Wang Dong understood that Su Yuran wanted the chili oil he had on hand, and he naturally handed it to her.

This perfect understanding between them is just like that of an old married couple who have been together for many years. In addition, the two are both good-looking, and sitting together they look like a celebrity couple, which naturally attracts the attention of many classmates.

Some even captured this beautiful scene on their phones and posted it on a confession wall, which unsurprisingly sparked widespread discussion very quickly.

However, the two people at the center of the conversation felt extremely awkward at that moment.

Su Yuran's aloofness stemmed from a girl's reserve, while Wang Dong was simply a bit socially awkward and had no idea how to start a conversation.

Upon careful consideration, Wang Dong realized that he knew almost nothing about Su Yuran, which made it even harder for him to figure out how to start the conversation.

On the other side, Su Yuran was in a state of utter confusion.

Is this junior guy always this aloof? Or is he simply not interested in me...?

Throughout Su Yuran's childhood, she was always surrounded by many men, all of whom were extremely enthusiastic towards her.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such silence, especially in this kind of situation.

For Su Yuran, Wang Dong is the most special man she has ever met.

Although there was a bit of silence during the meal, it was still very delicious.

After lunch, the two said goodbye naturally, since everyone had their own things to do.

However, Wang Dong felt as if he had forgotten something.

When he returned to the dormitory and saw Gong Zhan's expectant expression, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring Gong Zhan food.

It seems that even with a memory rating of 0.3, one can still become forgetful under the influence of hormones.

"Sorry, Gong Zhan, I forgot."

Forgot? That's quite a strange thing.

In Gong Zhan's memory, Wang Dong's memory was far beyond that of ordinary people, yet he also had moments of forgetfulness.

As I always said, there can't be an absolute superman in this world.

"It's okay, I'll order takeout."

Gong Zhan waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about, and then opened a certain pornographic software.

After selecting his food, he casually opened his WeChat Moments to browse.

Then he understood why Wang Dong was forgetful.

A stunning photo suddenly went viral on the Yenching University's confession wall.

Although the content of the photo is very ordinary, it simply shows a clean-cut, handsome man and a beautiful, elegant woman sitting together having a meal.

But it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility, much like the most beautiful form of love.

They were even hailed by many students as Yenching University's "star couple".

Gong Zhan also agreed with this statement, but the more he looked at the boy in the photo, the more familiar he seemed.

This boy...

It's just Wang Dong!
