Chapter 899: 898. Got sidetracked, eh?
This Shandong cuisine experience was quite peculiar.
As the two of them left the delicate little shop, patting their round bellies, the fiery red sunset spilled across the boundless sea, resembling an oil painting.
The two exchanged a glance and then both their gazes simultaneously shifted to the four takeout boxes in Jing Yu’s hands, and they burst into laughter.
“So how many points do I get?”
“What’s the full score, Mr. Jing?”
“How about out of ten?”
“Then eight points,” Tang Shu said, rubbing her stuffed belly, “Those takeout boxes are worth at least two points.”
“So—did I pass our first date?”
Jing Yu felt that this score wasn’t high, but it was a good start…
Tang Shu did not deny it, “But I have to say, that fat-reducing al at noon was eaten in vain.”
“…”

Considering the film crew of “Typhoon” coordinated seamlessly with each other, and the actors were all acquainted friends brought in by Director Xie, the five-day shoot in Weicheng went unexpectedly smoothly.
Five days later, everyone boarded the flight to the Imperial Capital; the remaining scenes would be finished in the suburban film and television city.
Once the plane landed, people stread out of the terminal building one after another. Xie Yunqing found his luggage and sneakily approached Jing Yu while the others were not paying attention.
“Shall we share a ride? How about carpooling with Xiao Bei?”
Jing Yu stiffened his clutch on the sleeve of his left hand and pretended not to know him, “I don’t think so; my car is needed for other purposes.”
Xie Yunqing followed his gaze, landing on Tang Shu who was nearby searching for her suitcase, and suddenly he understood everything.
“Look at my mory… I completely forgot about this matter. To be honest, you haven’t been very conspicuous these past few days—”
For five consecutive days, Jing Yu spent most of his ti inside the resort hotel, living right next door. Miraculously, none of the more than twenty crew mbers noticed that their female lead was dating soone. Even Xie Yunqing himself, when busy, had pushed this cousin to the back of his mind.
This was simply illogical because soone like Jing Yu, from childhood to adulthood, has always been a bright presence, born to attract everyone’s attention.
“Are you sure you didn’t leave Weicheng these past few days? What were you doing during the day?”
If it weren’t for his lifelong belief in science, he would suspect his cousin wore an invisibility cloak.
“Online paperwork, video conferences.”
Jing Yu pushed away the face in front of him, “Mind your image, Director Xie.”
Screw the image, you’re about to ditch !
Xie Yunqing brooded for a while, realized the person in front of him had no intention of relenting, sighed, and walked away.
“Emotions really are sothing that can make people lose their reason…”
Jing Yu, without a hint of guilt on his face, strode away with long steps, waiting until all the crew mbers had left the hall before heading toward the luggage storage area.
20 minutes later, Tang Shu and Yang Tiantian, both wearing masks, got into Jing Bei’s business vehicle. The latter, upon seeing her, blinked bewilderingly for a good while before snapping back to reality.
Afterward…
Tang Shu found that the seemingly furious young beauty, who appeared like she was ready to settle scores, instantly blossod into a smile, looking at Jing Yu as if she saw a child who had finally seen the light.
What on earth is all this about?
Before Tang Shu could make heads or tails of it, her turned-on phone was bombarded with ssages, incessantly chiming with notifications—like a relentless barrage.
In just two hours of being turned off, she’d received important ssages from Shen Yan, Wen Nuan, Ren Xiazhi, and three from Professor Yu.
Thinking back, Tang Shu’s last visit to the university was to submit howork to her teacher; seeing the ssage from Professor Yu about the research results on the dicinal use of snow lotus and other herbs, this high-achieving student from dical University beca rarely serious, ensuring she would make a visit the following day.
The limited dicinal materials grown underneath Northwestern Cetery, she truly didn’t want the researchers from the dical College to make aningless attempts.
Wen Nuan’s ssage was as brief as ever, a notification about the assessnt results—she’d passed as expected. Due to the particularities of their professions, both she and Ren Xiazhi were managed by the Imperial Capital’s side.
But… when did she end up with the extra task of enhancing Ren Xiazhi’s physical fitness???
That’s, just, too, much!
Tang Shu sent a string of angry emoticons to her direct supervisor, and in just a few seconds, she got a response.
[Wen Nuan]: “I see you’re quite good at it, Xiao Chi said recently Qianyun and Junfeng have improved a lot in their skills, and he almost couldn’t hold them back several tis.”
[Wen Nuan]: “Plus, you did a good job training Xiaozhi during the assessnt period. Looking after two is the sa as looking after three, it’s just an extra bowl of rice.”
To hell with the extra bowl of rice!
Was she now expected to pay for a young boy’s three als a day? She never imagined having such a stingy boss.
[Tang Shu]: “Training is fine, but Xiao Xiazhi needs to help with work.”
[Wen Nuan]: “No problem, as long as there are no tasks, use him as you please.”
This big shot didn’t hesitate to sell out her newly recruited subordinate.

Today, as always, the official website of Imperial dical College was abuzz with activity.
As students pulled out their phones to casually browse the web after class, they suddenly noticed an ID on the hopage—[Roaming the length and breadth of the world, plucking every herb, President of the Adventure Club].
“Eh? This guy’s na is so long—”
“Quite flashy, huh? Is he trying to suffocate us in one go?”
“Shouldn’t our focus be on why the system didn’t impose a character limit on ID nicknas?”
“These days, it’s unbelievable soone’s nickna is in Chinese characters; half the nicknas in our class look like gibberish…”
“Drop the gibberish talk, if you don’t understand, just don’t spout nonsense. That’s clearly shorthand for Western dicine, handwritten at that!”
“Guys, aren’t we getting sidetracked? This ID is obviously more captivating because of the word ‘Adventure’!”
“No, what I’m curious about is, why does this forrly unseen president suddenly appear on the official hopage? What exactly did he do?”
With a history of over a hundred years since Imperial dical College was established, the number of students and alumni registered on the campus official website has exceeded several hundreds of thousands, making it a “large” site. There’s always a sizable number of people active on the site every day, and there are even sub-sections for traditional and Western dicine, entertainnt, and other topics.
And because of the variety of the website’s sub-sections, it is trendously difficult for any ssage to climb to the hopage—the ones that make it are big shots.
Especially when the na is so… unconventional.
Everyone was imnsely curious.
A long ID na instantly attracted countless pairs of eyes. As people entered this president’s hopage driven by unprecedented curiosity, they found that eight videos had already been posted.
