Chapter 223 Let’s Go to the Airport
Xia Yang leaned lazily: "No, it's troublesome."
"Is this okay? Will it make you feel out of place?" Le An was rarely worried about him.
"Social?" Xia Yang said confidently, "When have I ever been sociable?"
Le An scratched his head. During the time he'd been with Xia Yang, he'd rarely seen any of his colleagues talk to him. The only exception was a female professor who would occasionally chat with Xia Yang when they saw him, but mostly just about work.
"Go home. I want to hear Grandpa continue talking about the past. Yesterday he talked about when Fu Xiuyan was seven years old."
The days passed uneventfully, and soon it was the day when Fu Xiuyan was about to finish filming.
This time, because he was in the place where Fu Xiuyan grew up, and because his grandfather kept telling him about Fu Xiuyan, Xia Yang didn't feel the same overwhelming longing as before. It was as if Fu Xiuyan was always by his side.
As soon as Xia Yang got in the car, Le An noticed that he looked tired: "Did you have a lot of work today?"
Xia Yang took out a can of juice from the refrigerator, touched the bottle cap, and then put it down. He frowned imperceptibly, then put the juice back: "Not much, it's too much trouble."
Xia Yang just lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
"Ah...I see. That's quite tiring. Hehe..."
Xia Yang lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced forward, his eyes meeting Le An's who was peeking at him in the rearview mirror. Le An was so frightened that he quickly averted his gaze, and Xia Yang closed his eyes again without saying anything.
The car stopped at a red light. Le An looked at the red countdown numbers: "90, 89, 88..." It ticked slowly.
Then he started chatting again: "Sir, are you going to wrap up?"
Xia Yang hummed in his throat, and after a while he said, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow. I don't have classes that day, so let's go pick him up at the airport."
A few seconds later, Xia Yang heard Le An answer: "Okay."
There was something very wrong with Le An today, and he noticed it as soon as he got on the bus. Normally, he wouldn't gossip so much.
But he was truly exhausted today. A student's experiment had reached a crucial stage, but something had gone wrong. When he came to him, the grown man's eyes were red with anxiety. He was completely lost, like one of those homeless animals you see everywhere in their school.
Xia Yang spent the entire day in the lab, starting with the first step of his experiment, deducing and replicating it step by step. It took him a day to find the cause: "Don't observe this process too frequently. Your observation will affect the original direction of the quantum. That's why the deviation occurs. That instrument." Xia Yang pointed to an instrument in the corner of the lab and said, "You can use it to measure. It has a good accuracy rate and saves some time."
The student had just passed the exam and felt very guilty for bothering Xia Yang all day. He looked at the machine in the direction Xia Yang pointed and asked uncertainly, "Can I use it?"
"Why not?" Xia Yang was puzzled by his question. Before leaving, he reminded him: "However, before using it, you'd better sing a strong army song to him first."
After Xia Yang left, the student asked a senior, "I understand why you sang the military song to it. But since this instrument saves time and is so accurate, why didn't Professor Xia just use the machine to deduce it?"
The senior brother looked at him and asked him in confusion: "Aren't you very anxious?"
He nodded, not understanding why.
"That's right, because you're anxious." The senior brother said this seriously, as if it was a matter of course, and then went about his business. After the opportunity passed, seeing that he still didn't leave, he spoke again: "Is there anything else wrong? Professor Xia is off work now, I can help you take a look first."
"I still don't quite understand what you meant just now, senior brother." He said embarrassedly.
"Did I just say something that is hard to understand?" The senior brother was very confused.
"Brother, you said that I was in a hurry, so Professor Xia didn't use the instrument..."
"Yes. Is there anything incomprehensible? Professor Xia's calculation speed and accuracy are higher than this instrument. He sees that you are anxious, so he will naturally choose a faster way. Oh, I see. When other professors encounter this kind of thing, most of them don't want to waste their energy. You meet a professor who dotes on his students so much, so you are not used to it for a while, right? I understand! But who can blame us for being so lucky? We met Professor Xia who dotes on his students without limit." The senior brother puffed out his chest and was very proud.
The new student's face was filled with disbelief. Professor Xia was even more impressive than the equipment! And the other seniors were clearly used to it. And Professor Xia doted on his students! He'd asked about Professor Xia before he got in, and they all said he was strict, rigorous, and devoid of any humanity! Students didn't dare to gossip about him. But judging by the attitudes of his seniors, that wasn't the case. And what had just happened to him also proved that Xia Yang was incredibly dedicated to each and every one of his students.
But what about those rumors outside?
He didn't understand. Those rumors were indeed initially driven by Xia Yang's aloof personality, but they weren't as strong as the current rumors. It was only later, when the competition for admission to Xia Yang's graduate program became so fierce, someone deliberately intensified the spread of the rumors to reduce the number of competitors. It can only be said that the world of Jianghu is everywhere.
Of course, Xia Yang was completely unaware of these things, and he didn't care.
He had been intensely focused all day, and it had been incredibly exhausting. He lay in the car, not wanting to even move an eyelash.
The car braked suddenly, and Xia Yang opened his eyes suddenly: "What's wrong?"
Le An unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "A child suddenly rushed into the middle of the road. I'm going to go down and take a look. Master, don't come out."
Xia Yang sat up. The child Le An mentioned was in his blind spot, so he couldn't see anything. He could only vaguely see Le An squatting down.
Le An was very anxious. He vaguely guessed that it must have been deliberately arranged by Ying Beiyun's people, with the purpose of luring them out of the car. Otherwise, how could a child appear for no reason on such a remote road? There were no adults around? But what if, what if it wasn't the case, it would be very dangerous for the child to be here alone, and he couldn't ignore it. Moreover, the child was only four or five years old, and was obviously frightened. When Le An talked to her, she kept crying, and when he tried to hug her, she wouldn't let him hold her, and resisted very fiercely. Le An knew that he couldn't stay here for long, and he tried to forcibly pick up the child again, ready to throw him in the car first.
"What's wrong? Is he hurt?" Xia Yang's voice suddenly came. He waited in the car for a while, but Le An didn't come back. He was really worried about the child Le An mentioned, so he got off to check.
The little girl saw a handsome little brother, and her crying stopped abruptly. Tears still welled up in her big eyes. She stretched out her two short arms, one hand tightly clenched into a fist, and looked at Xia Yang, sobbing and saying, "Handsome~Brother! Brother...hiccup~Hug~"
Le An was furious. While the little girl was looking at Xia Yang like a nympho, he grabbed her clothes and lifted her up. Then he said to Xia Yang, "Hurry up and get in the car."
The child cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose. She flapped her short legs and arms and shouted, "Handsome brother!"
Xia Yang was about to open the car door and pick up the little girl again when something unexpected happened.
