In a blink of an eye, it is already the end of June and the heat has replaced the cold.

Huo Qiyan, wearing a beige T-shirt, walked in from the gate of S University. Waves of heat hit him head-on, and cicadas were buzzing in the trees. Only when he occasionally walked under the shadow of a tree could he feel a moment of coolness, but most of the time, it was the stuffiness of summer.

On the way, Huo Qiyan saw a convenience store, walked in and bought a popsicle. He couldn't wait to take a bite, and the heat in his body was relieved a lot.

The students on the road were walking in a hurry, some were rushing to class, and some should have just finished class and were talking to their friends while walking.

"It's great to be young~" Huo Qiyan sighed.

Unlike him, apart from the boring commute to and from get off work every day, I have no energy to play. Even if I want to play, I can't get back the feeling I had at school.

"How about we find a restaurant near the school tonight to eat, then go play ball with the juniors before going back. If we still have time, we can go to the snack store to buy some snacks. After all, we are going out to play the day after tomorrow, so it's a good idea to buy some food..."

"Hmm??? Classmate Huo Qiyan?"

Just when Huo Qiyan was thinking wildly, an old male voice suddenly sounded.

Huo Qiyan turned around and saw an old man in a Zhongshan suit with gray hair trying to open his eyes wide to look at him. Seeing that it was him, Huo Qiyan quickly walked up to the old man and respectfully called out, "President Qin."

"Oh, it's really you. I was saying that besides you, who else in our school can look so handsome from behind? How are you doing recently? Is your business going well? Did you have a good meal and rest?"

When Dean Qin saw that it was really him, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Although Huo Qiyan was not a student of his college, Feng Rucen was. At that time, Huo Qiyan would come to accompany her boyfriend whenever she was free, under the pretext of attending classes for free, and she even borrowed books from seniors who were one year older than them, with an extremely proper attitude.

When it comes to Dean Qin's own class, he would occasionally ask Huo Qiyan questions, and he was able to answer them. He would also often hear other teachers talk about this freeloading student. As time went by, Dean Qin felt that Huo Qiyan was from their college.

Huo Qiyan: "Dean Qin, I'm fine. I eat and drink well every day. How are you these days? Does your knee still hurt every day? And shouldn't you retire? Why are you still attending classes at school?"

Otherwise, why would you still be holding the clinical textbook in your hands?

Dean Qin is 72 years old this year. He suffered from many illnesses when he was young, especially his knees, which hurt whenever he walked.

"My re-employment contract expired last year, and the school told me not to work so hard anymore. But you know, I can't sit still, so they asked the school to give me two classes a week," Dean Qin explained with a smile. "By the way, how come you have time to come back to school today? Are you here to see your boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Huo Qiyan admitted happily, "Dean Qin, how about we have a meal together later? Then I'll take you back."

Seeing that Dean Qin wanted to refuse, Huo Qiyan directly pulled his sleeve and looked at him pitifully, "Dean Qin, please ..."

Dean Qin finally couldn't persuade him and agreed to have dinner together. "Okay, then I will be a light bulb today."

Although it was a teasing tone, it couldn't hide Dean Qin's joy. No one doesn't like to be respected and liked by his students.

"Xiao Qi, Dean Qin?" Feng Rucen was dragging his suitcase towards the school gate. Unexpectedly, he saw Huo Qiyan on the way. He was about to say hello to him, but found that he was happily chatting with an old man, and the old man looked more and more familiar.

"Student Feng, long time no see," Dean Qin was very happy to see him, "I heard from Lao Bai that you did an excellent job in the course?" Although it was a questioning tone, it was filled with great pride.

Lao Bai is Feng Rucen’s current mentor and also the main instructor of his current project.

Hearing what Dean Qin said, Feng Rucen did not dare to take credit for it, and said truthfully, "In fact, this is the result of the joint efforts of the team members. No project can be completed by one person alone."

Seeing Feng Rucen pulling a suitcase, Huo Qiyan wanted to take it, but was dodged. Huo Qiyan looked at him with some confusion, "Brother?"

"This is heavy, Xiaoqi, don't touch it," Feng Rucen patted his little head and said with a smile, then said to Dean Qin who was smiling kindly, "Dean Qin, have you finished class yet? Do you want to go have a meal together?"

Hearing his words, Dean Qin smiled even more happily, "You two really are a couple. You say exactly the same thing. Don't you want to eat? Let's go."

Feng Rucen looked down at Huo Qiyan with some confusion. Huo Qiyan felt a little embarrassed. "Just... just before you came out, I invited Dean Qin to dinner. I didn't expect..."

Feng Rucen: "I see, let's go. If we don't leave, Dean Qin will laugh at us."

After he finished speaking, he moved the luggage to his left hand, held Huo Qiyan's hand with his free right hand, and walked towards the school gate shoulder to shoulder.

"Tsk! I didn't expect that an old dog like me would be fed a mouthful of dog food, really..." Dean Qin, who had already walked far away, wanted to look back to see if they were catching up, but he didn't expect to be bullied by the young couple.

Taking into consideration that Dean Qin was older and needed to eat food that was easier to digest, Huo Qiyan picked and chose and finally went to a Cantonese restaurant.

The two originally wanted to ask Dean Qin to order the dishes, but Dean Qin said that he could eat anything and let Huo Qiyan and the others decide for themselves.

In the end, Huo Qiyan discussed with Feng Rucen and decided to order a steamed sea bass, a salt and pepper fish, wolfberry leaf and lean meat soup, sand ginger and white-cut chicken, taro and chicken wings pot, and a blanched Chinese cabbage.

The three of them ate and chatted, and soon there was very little food left on the table.

Dean Qin touched his protruding belly and his face turned red. Today was really embarrassing. He usually couldn't finish a bowl of rice, but this time he ate a whole bowl. In addition, Huo Qiyan and Feng Rucen kept passing food for him, so he ate more of the food on the table.

Ever since his wife passed away, his children have been busy with work, so he, an old man, can only cook a few meals and stir-fry some vegetables to get by. Plus, he doesn't enjoy eating alone, so he can't eat much every time. Today, probably because the atmosphere was too good, he ate a little too much without realizing it.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, after completing your project, are you going to move on to a new one? Or do you have to wait until next year?" Dean Qin suddenly asked.

Feng Rucen: "I plan to apply for early graduation next year. The amount of research projects is sufficient. I will not participate in new research groups this year or next year unless there are special circumstances."

The research group was too time-consuming, and coupled with the heavy academic workload, his personal time was compressed to very little, and he couldn't even accompany Huo Qiyan for a walk. Although Huo Qiyan said that he didn't mind, he couldn't bear to see Huo Qiyan alone.

He has already completed enough credits and practical credits, and his thesis is almost ready, so graduating early is the best option. Although he may have a lot of work to do after starting work, at least he will have more vacation time.

"?!" Dean Qin looked at him in surprise, "You're only in your second year of graduate school, and you've already finished all the projects and papers?!"

What kind of monster is this? In just two years, it accomplished something that would take others three to four years, or even five to six years to accomplish.

This is a heartless reading machine, right?
