Liu Qian acknowledged softly. “I know.”
After Zhao Lian was done reading the proposal, he returned it to Liu Qian. He contemplated for a moment before he said, “They don’t necessarily have to be PhD students. As long as they can handle it, I am happy to consider them.”
Liu Qian smiled and said, “I think Huo Yao is a good choice. I plan on getting her to join the research project.”
Zhao Lian glanced at Liu Qian. Even though he felt the same way, he could not help feeling annoyed.
Liu Qian cleared his throat. He glanced at the handsome young man sitting nearby and said, “Prof Zhao, since you have a guest, I will leave you to it.”
Zhao Lian waved his hand. He watched as Liu Qian left through the door before he went back and sat down on the couch. “My apologies for keeping you waiting.”
The young man smiled and stopped playing with the black ring on his index finger. Instead, he replied courteously. “It’s okay.”
He paused for a couple of seconds before he said, “I overheard you talking about AL research.”
Zhao Lian and Liu Qian had spoken at a normal volume, so it was normal for the man to overhear them. He nodded and said with a smile, “I think AL is an excellent field to research. We currently do not have such research in the university.”
The man nodded unhurriedly. “It certainly has a lot of research value.”
Zhao Lian picked up the teapot and poured the man more tea. A thought crossed his mind, so he said, “Oh yes. Isn’t Systems Bioengineering your specialty? What do you think about coming over to guide some students?”
The man raised his brow without replying directly. “Are you sure that is a good idea?”
Zhao Lian smiled. “Of course it is okay. I am more worried that you are not interested.”
“Of course not.” The man shook his head and answered politely.
Zhao Lian half-jokingly said, “In that case, it’s settled then. I hope our students won’t trouble you.”
The man acknowledged softly with his eyes lowered, gathering his thoughts.

Huo Yao only had two classes in the afternoon. She headed over to the library after school to look for some material.
By the time she left the library, it was already past 5:00 pm. She looked at her phone while heading to the school entrance.
She had received a new text message.
During this time, she hardly asked Chen Ming to pick her up at school and had been getting a lift from someone else.
After replying to Min Yu’s text message, she put her phone back in her bag.
There was a path in the school, but only teachers were allowed to drive into the campus. A car went by on Huo Yao’s right when she headed out.
Huo Yao did not notice it until the car started to honk at her. She finally raised her head slowly and looked over.
The car pulled up nearby and the driver’s seat car window opened to reveal Zhao Lian’s genial face. He reached his head out slightly. “Huo Yao, where are you heading? I can give you a ride.”
The man sitting in the front passenger seat looked sideways slightly outside the car window. He saw the girl he had caught a glimpse of, a few days ago and smiled in surprise.
Huo Yao halted. She greeted Zhao Lian before she turned down the offer tactfully. “Thanks. It’s okay. My friend is already waiting for me at the school entrance.”
“Okay.” Zhao Lian nodded. He looked ahead and said, “Why don’t I drop you at the school gates then?”
It would take at least five to six minutes to get to the entrance from here.
