“But I haven’t submitted my dissertation yet. I would be jobless if my submission doesn’t pass,” Wen Shan said while scratching her ear.

“I should be able to help if you need data analysis for your dissertation,” said Ding Junhui.

Wen Shan looked at Ding Junhui in disbelief and began to wonder if her lecturer had a crush on her, then immediately crushed the thought. It had never occurred to her that Mr. Ding had a crush on her throughout the four years that she spent in university doing her degree, three years doing her masters, and until the end of her doctorate. She must be overthinking.

“It’s okay.”

“Right, I heard that you are close with Nalan Chunbo, who is a world-class mathematician,” said Ding Junhui.

Wen Shan finally put down her hand that was scratching her ear and started playing with the straps on her backpack.

“I am not that close with him. I only got to know him because he is Brother Gu’s wife’s brother.”

“Still, you don’t have to be worried. We are quite lenient on doctoral students who have been confirmed to stay to teach,” Ding Junhui nodded at what Wen Shan said then changed the topic.

“I have to take this seriously. I heard from Professor Zhao that we have to publish our dissertation on any international forum and win an award before we can pass our probation.” Wen Shan stressed on the word “and” to emphasize how difficult it actually was.

Ding Junhui knew about the requirements. After all, he was one of the lecturers who had passed his probation period.

“It is not that difficult to write an award-winning dissertation. Write a few so you have higher chances.”

Wen Shan was speechless at Ding Junhui’s suggestion, which she didn’t find helpful at all.

“I am serious. I published more than ten dissertations back then, and only one of them was awarded. I will send the link to you later so you can have a look at an award-winning dissertation,” said Ding Junhui smilingly.

Wen Shan nodded and saw Le Tian, who was looking for her when they arrived at the university.

“Thank you, Mr. Ding. See you.” Wen Shan quickly made Ding Junhui pull over and got down from the car.

Ding Junhui nodded at Le Tian before he drove away.

“I was just wondering how you managed to get over your Papa Nalan so fast. Looks like you are already seeing someone,” Le Tian looked at Ding Junhui’s car that was slowly driving out of sight and tutted.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We bumped into each other in front of the hospital.” Wen Shan rolled her eyes at Le Tian and walked with her to a bookshop nearby with her arm around Le Tian’s neck.

“How is that nonsense? Ding Junhui was infatuated with you since you were doing your degree, and everyone knows about it. Also, aren’t you obsessed with people who are good at maths? Ding Junhui has been promoted to assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics, how suitable for you!”

Wen Shan pushed Le Qian, who was ranting endlessly into the bookshop. What she didn’t see was a car with its window wound down after they went into the bookshop.

[Aren’t you obsessed with people who are good at maths?]

Nalan Chunbo gripped the steering wheel tightly. He found it ironic and found himself humiliated. She had made it clear when she first approached him that she was only obsessed with him because of how good his maths was, and stressed that mathematics is an essential tool for physics.

Nalan Chunbo curled his lips sarcastically and drove away.

He thought that he should at least try things out with her when he came to her university, but it looked like there was no need for that anymore.

Wen Shan was browsing the books in the bookshop when she looked out the window unconsciously. She saw a car that looked like Nalan Chunbo’s driving away and scoffed at herself for thinking that Nalan Chunbo had come for her.
