I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Really? Brother Li, this is awesome!"

When it comes to publishing a paper, he is at least the second author. Even though it's a fake, at least there is something to it.

If you really have nothing, when school starts, you won't be able to hold your head up in front of other graduate students in the laboratory group.

It’s different now. I’m still no match for other doctoral students in the group.

But the group of his mentor, Professor Huang, is full of master's students, and the core of his first and second papers will definitely be able to stand the test of time in the next few years.

As for the future, it is not enough to look at it. There are undergraduate theses scattered all over the floor, and I don’t know which graduate students’ achievements have been occupied.

"Haha! Don't just praise me with your mouth! Don't you owe me a hot pot? You should pay it back tonight!"

"Brother Li? Are you sure it's not Professor Liu who's inviting us to dinner tonight?"

The happiest person in this paper is not them, but Associate Professor Liu, the corresponding author.

Now he has barely reached the threshold for the title of professor, and he is the happiest one.

Moreover, given Professor Liu's personality, he is very unambiguous when it comes to treating people to dinner. Why wouldn't he invite them to dinner tonight?

After hearing what Jiang Hao said, Brother Li reacted immediately.

"Oh my god! I forgot about Professor Liu. Let me inform Professor Liu first."

"Anyway, you can't avoid this hot pot this week!"

After saying this, Brother Li hung up the phone hastily, probably going to inform Professor Liu.

"Junior brother, has your paper passed the review?"

Yu Xintong, who was standing by, had already heard what he said on the phone, but she couldn't hear it clearly, so she confirmed it with a little excitement.

"It can't be counted as mine, but it did pass the review."

"Congratulations! Shouldn't you treat me to a bigger meal?"

"Why are you all here to beg for food? Please! Okay! Let's go together in a couple of days, I'll call you then."

Hearing him say this, Yu Xintong seemed to have succeeded in her plan, and a smile suddenly lit up her face.

The two of them didn't order much for the hotpot. Yu Xintong didn't have a big appetite, so most of the food went into his stomach.

The total price is one hundred and thirty, of which the base accounts for fifty.

Originally, Yu Xintong didn't want to leave and thought about strolling around the campus with Jiang Hao. However, she received a call from the laboratory and went back to work on the experiment.

"Here, as payment for your dinner."

Before leaving, Yu Xintong magically took out a wrapped rectangular gift box that seemed to be too big to fit in her small bag.

There are two red drawstrings tied around the outside of the box, which looks very ceremonial.

"Don't forget you still owe me a meal! I'll be waiting for your news these few days."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and trotted away.

However, he stopped after running only a few steps, turned around and waved at him again before he really walked away quickly.

Looking at the gift box in his hand, Jiang Hao was quite at a loss.

From his previous life to now, this was the first time he could say that he received a gift right after having dinner with a girl.

Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart immediately felt warm.

Seeing many people walking by and looking at the gift in his hand from time to time, Jiang Hao couldn't help but tighten his grip on the gift box.

I took a taxi and returned to Songshi College, into the dormitory.

Jiang Hao opened the gift box and found a decorative item inside.

The width and height are both about 15 centimeters, with a walnut base and two golden scales.

He immediately realized that this was sent to him according to his zodiac sign.

On the brand new desktop computer desk in the room, gently move the scales on one side.

The two scales of the entire ornament swung up and down silently.

Another message came from my cell phone. I carefully placed the scales and opened my phone, and it turned out to be a message from Professor Liu inviting me to dinner.

It was another sumptuous meal, but Professor Liu was still quite drunk and could not be stopped. He and Brother Li just had a few drinks to relax.

Sister Xu didn't come to dinner in the end because of her class work.

After returning to the dormitory from Songjiang Restaurant, Jiang Hao finished washing up and patted his stomach, which felt slightly bulging.

I couldn't help but curl my lips secretly. I had eaten too many delicious meals recently and my stomach was a little full.

Fortunately, he is still young. Jiang Hao remembers that he would gain weight easily no matter what he ate since he was 27 or 28 years old in his previous life.

He himself had no time to exercise, and maybe it was because of his physique, but in the end he just gained weight in his belly, which was so awkward.

Fortunately, this life still has the opportunity to exercise more control.

Lying on the bed, turning on his mobile phone, after a meal, Jiang Hao’s entire circle of friends had exploded.

The reason was simple: Brother Li gave him the photo of the notification document that his paper had been accepted.

Jiang Hao seldom posted anything on WeChat Moments before, even after he made some money and changed his phone and computer, he never showed off anything.

But I couldn’t help but show off this paper.

I posted Brother Li’s photo on WeChat Moments.

Although the employment notice on the photo listed Comrade Li Jing as the first person to be notified, his name was not included.

But he couldn't help but write his own copy, "Congratulations to my senior and my paper for being successfully accepted."

As for which journal it is, there is no need to write it in the copy. Anyway, the letterhead of the photo acceptance letter will have the words "Modern Radar".

If he posts about his mood or complaints on his circle of friends, he will probably be teased for a while by everyone in the dormitory group, including Brother Li.

As for giving out new cell phones, computers and other expensive items, Jiang Hao himself felt that it was pretentious.

On the contrary, this kind of journal, which contains academic materials of high quality, gave Jiang Hao the opportunity.

Just flipping through a long list of comments, all of my college classmates are like this.

"Awesome! Professor Jiang!"

The neat line of comments started with his roommates.

"Congratulations! That's awesome, Junior Brother Jiang!"

"Awesome! Boss Jiang, congratulations!"

At first glance, it was obvious that they were comments from Yu Xintong and Fu Hao.

There are still many other people’s replies, including dozens of likes.

I don’t usually post on WeChat Moments, but as soon as I posted something related to this paper, a lot of people responded.

The academic pretense tonight was quite successful.

Switching back to the chat interface, many friends and classmates who he hadn't contacted for a while sent him private messages to congratulate him.

I replied one by one and found a strange yet familiar profile picture of a girl running on the beach.

The name on the WeChat list is "Ying". Isn't this the Lu Ying that Senior Sister Xu recommended?

Does posting this on Moments mean that Lu Ying has not had a chance to take a shower in the past two months?

When I clicked on the avatar, the information inside was simple, just two sentences.

"Congratulations!"

"Don't you work in the library? And do research on the side?"

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and replied politely.

“The library work was not very busy, so I participated in it, but the results were not mainly mine.”

The message has been sent, and I am ready to delete this chat box and reply to the next one.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ying seemed to be guarding the phone and replied to the message immediately.

"pretty good!"

“I heard you were planning to get a Ph.D.?”

"Yes."

"What will you do with the staffing at the school where you are studying for your doctorate? Are you going to quit?"

Jiang Hao suddenly felt a little regretful for replying to Lu Ying after receiving the message in seconds. After seeing the message, he felt embarrassed not to reply.

Moreover, the news of his doctoral studies was never posted on his WeChat Moments, so I guess it was relayed by Senior Sister Xu.

"I was entrusted by the school to be trained and retain the position."

"Which school are you going to for your PhD? We seem to be in the same category, so we can communicate more later!"

……

As soon as Jiang Hao sent out each message, Lu Ying on the other side would reply immediately.

I replied with a polite attitude, but ended up chatting for seven or eight minutes.

It was always Lu Ying who took the initiative to find topics, while Jiang Hao just brushed them off.

In the end, I was too lazy to be polite and simply stopped replying.

"Are you still playing League of Legends? If I'm free, we can play together then!"

Jiang Hao is not a fool. He has been frank about his lack of interest in games before, but this time he even brings up League of Legends?

Although I didn't directly say that I wanted to get in touch with him again or try a blind date with him, it felt pretty close to it.

Is it really necessary to go back to your lover? Jiang Hao was speechless.

He was in no mood to continue letting Lu Ying misunderstand him, so he pulled out Lu Ying's ultimate move.

"Maybe next time. I'm going to take a shower first."

The same words, spoken this time by Jiang Hao, did make him feel a lot better.

It was not until then that Lu Ying finally reacted to Jiang Hao's attitude.

After sending him an emoticon saying "give him a punch", I never contacted him again.
