Chapter 776: I Can Perform the Deadly Scissors Kick for You

I heard you’re working with Professor He Rusong on the lead isotope diluent preparation project—how’s it going?

Lead isotope diluent preparation is a national-level project that provides precise research tools for geology, medicine, and environmental science.

The country basically relies on imports for this.

If Professor He Rusong’s project succeeds, it will fill this gap.

It’s hard.

Song Lulu grimaced, “I used to think I was pretty talented, but since joining this project, I feel like an idiot.”

Besides attending classes and going to the lab, Song Lulu was either in the library or on her way there.

There was no choice—the pressure was too great, and she knew nothing, like a useless waste.

I’m glad you have a clear self-awareness.

Thanks, sis, Song Lulu instinctively thought Xu Qingzhou was comforting her, but quickly realized something was off, “Bro-in-law, you can’t keep running from consequences forever.”

Xu Qingzhou stopped joking and said, “You’re only a freshman—being overwhelmed by a national-level project is normal.”

Xu Qingzhou had met Professor Tang Shanze twice; whenever the topic of Song Lulu came up, Professor Tang would grow furious, claiming he had originally set his sights on her, but Professor He was shameless enough to resort to underhanded tricks.

This girl really does have talent.

You can’t possibly understand, Song Lulu snorted.

That’s true.

Can we even talk anymore?!

The car arrived at Xishan No. 1 Courtyard.

Liu Bin drove off; they had a dedicated residence within the compound, where Xu Qingzhou lived daily, with enhanced security measures in place.

Song Lulu watched the car vanish into the snowfall, then suddenly remembered something, “Bro-in-law, was that bulletproof car just now?”

Yes.

So the driver back there is actually one of those bodyguards from the movies? Song Lulu’s expression was exaggerated.

Something like that.

So someone wants to harm you?

Watch fewer movies.

Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, pushed open the door, and grumbled, “It’s just standard equipment—nothing special.”

Oh, but riding in a bulletproof car feels kind of weird—suddenly I feel so upscale.

Really?

Bro-in-law, hasn’t anyone ever told you you’re full of pretense?

When they walked in, Song Yao had just finished stir-frying the dishes.

Wash your hands, dinner’s ready.

Smells amazing—I’m really lucky today.

Song Lulu’s attention was immediately caught by the dishes on the table; she couldn’t look away.

Moments later, the three of them were seated around the dining table.

Song Lulu shoveled a few bites of food, sighing deeply, “Sis, I wish I could be as good as you someday.”

No, your sister’s talent isn’t just in cooking.

Xu Qingzhou swung his fists a few times, “It’s this—punches strong enough to kill a cow, Si ~”

He didn’t continue.

Song Yao stomped hard on his foot, finally feeling satisfied, then turned to her cousin, who was smirking at Xu Qingzhou, “You said last time some senior was chasing you?”

Yeah, but he’s given up now.

I’ll say a silent prayer for your senior.

The three chatted aimlessly; after dinner, Song Lulu sat around for a while, then left for her dormitory at 8 p.m.

Are you in such a hurry to go back?

Xu Qingzhou still cared deeply for this adopted sister.

My senior just sent me some data—I need to break it down as soon as possible.
