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

It was still 7 p.m. in the small classroom of the Lijiao Building.

It was still Zhou Yan's math analysis problem-solving class.

However, Gong Zhan seemed rather lonely today.

Since Wang Dong and Zhou Yan had requested leave in advance, it's highly likely that Wang Dong won't be attending the practice sessions from today's class until the end of the "East Asia Smart Cup".

He needs to focus on preparing for the "East Asia Smart Cup".

So Gong Zhan sat alone in the back row of the classroom. It didn't matter to him whether one person or two came, as long as it was a math analysis problem class.

However, people around him kept reminding him that he was a lonely person.

"Hey, classmate, why isn't Wang Dong here today?"

"Um... is Wang Dong really single?"

"What's the relationship between those two girls who ate together and Wang Dong?"

The barrage of questions left Gong Zhan somewhat overwhelmed.

Reality is never as smooth as imagined, and Wang Dong was eventually exposed by the all-knowing netizens.

It wasn't really an unboxing in the true sense; it was just that a classmate from the same year, Yuanpei, saw the post and accidentally left his college and name.

[A student commented: Isn't this Wang Dong from Yuanpei High School? He's already eating here right after the semester started?]

And just like that, the personal information of Yuanpei, Da Yi, and Wang Dong quickly flooded the comment section under the confession wall photo post.

The fact that Wang Dong was a "super freshman" and was so popular with goddesses made him even more famous.

So much so that even the students in the mathematical analysis class became aware of this, which naturally aroused the interest of many people.

This entangled Gong Zhan, who often came to the problem-solving class with Wang Dong and was inseparable from him.

Gong Zhan looked helpless. He thought that by staying away from Wang Dong, he would no longer experience the difference in how popular they were with girls.

Unexpectedly, this only dealt him a greater blow.

"Um...excuse me, could I add you on WeChat?"

The sudden request caught Gong Zhan off guard.

Hmm? Add me on WeChat? Looks like Dongzi becoming famous isn't all bad...

Reality quickly poured cold water on him.

"Could you please send me Wang Dong's business card?"

What? In the end, you still want Wang Dong's contact information.

Gong Zhan has completely given up on life; he might as well let the world be destroyed.

Gong Zhan was surrounded by people asking him questions related to Wang Dong.

Sun Yi, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, felt somewhat resentful.

Hmph, she's just good-looking. At Peking University, real talent and learning are the most important things.

Sun Yi felt sorry for these female classmates who had been blinded.

In society, good looks alone are not enough to establish oneself.

Physical appearance is only a small part of the criteria for choosing a partner.

This is Sun Yi's true thought; he definitely didn't say it out of jealousy that Wang Dong was popular with girls.

They were temporarily deceived by his outstanding appearance and overlooked his true potential.

A high-quality man like him is not only the class monitor of Yuanpei Class 1, but also achieved excellent results in the midterm exams. As a freshman, he also entered the finals of the "East Asia Smart Cup" competition.

He really wanted to stand up and loudly tell the classmates surrounding Gong Zhan that he was much better than Wang Dong.

However, he successfully held back, and it was only when he won the final award and was interviewed and announced by the school's media that he should have shown his true colors.

He will probably become as famous as Wang Dong in the future.

Even after trying to console himself, Sun Yi still felt somewhat aggrieved.

Zhou Yan slowly walked into the classroom long after the school bell rang.

Even if he arrived a few minutes late, he was still confident that he would sit until get out of class ended early.

After glancing around at the audience, he didn't call on anyone and started the lesson directly.

"Is everyone here? Today we'll be going to do the exercises for Chapter Four..."

"Senior, Wang Dong didn't come."

No one expected that Sun Yi would remind Zhou Yan that the number of people was not complete at this moment.

Sun Yi was smug about his actions.

Although Wang Dong didn't receive any real punishment, his senior would still use him as a negative example to reprimand him.

Then the female students in the audience will realize that Wang Dong is just a pretty face who doesn't like to study.

Indeed, in Sun Yi's stereotype, good-looking people are often not fond of studying.

As for the criteria for evaluating his appearance, it seems to be based on his own assessment.

If that's the case, then Gong Zhan must also be an incompetent fool.

Sun Yi never expected that Senior Zhou Yan would have such an attitude towards this matter.

"Oh, I know, he asked me for leave, saying he was going to prepare for some competition..."

"I think it's called the 'East Asia Smart Cup'? Never mind, let's continue, let's start with the third question..."

Zhou Yan's answer was very casual, but it caused a murmur among the audience.

"Wang Dong is even participating in the 'East Asia Smart Cup'! Does that mean he's preparing for the finals?"

"I never expected Wang Dong to be not only good-looking, but also surprisingly talented..."

Gong Zhan never expected this outcome; it was completely different from what he had imagined.

I also participated in the "East Asia Smart Cup"...

I made it to the finals too...

Forget it, this Wang Dong must have gotten in by using his looks and connections to climb the social ladder, unlike him, who relied entirely on his own abilities.

However, the final round will be a live competition, which will reveal your true level.

Sun Yi had already imagined how Wang Dong would embarrass himself in public, and he was determined to record it carefully.

For some reason, Sun Yi always seems to have a grudge against Wang Dong.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong, whom Sun Yi considers a rival, is currently worrying in the laboratory.

It wasn't because of the vast amount of learning materials, nor because I couldn't come up with an algorithm, that I felt discouraged.

Wang Dong was worried because he was going to his internship with Shangguan Sihan tomorrow.

Social interaction is already a headache, but this kind of social interaction is even more of a headache.

Although he had already spoken with the substitute professor, and the professor had agreed to let him do the internship together.

But Wang Dong always felt that his behavior seemed a bit like Jiahao's.

This is especially true since he's interning with Shangguan Sihan; Wang Dong certainly doesn't want to be trending on the confession wall for the third time.

However, choosing not to go is also not an option.

Putting aside the fact that Professor Geng's act of standing people up after making an appointment not only affected his own credibility but also tarnished the prestigious reputation of Yuanpei College.

Moreover, he absolutely had to go for this internship because of the "East Asia Smart Cup".

After all, the actual operation of a hospital is quite different from what is described in books.

Some things can only be truly understood through personal experience.

Now, all Wang Dong can do is silently pray that everything goes smoothly tomorrow and that no inexplicable changes will occur.

He really doesn't want to be on the trending topics list anymore.
