She nudged him. “Order something!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw two familiar faces.” Xu Qingzhou hadn’t expected such a coincidence—Zhao Shengwen and Wang Wei were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao followed Xu Qingzhou’s gaze and saw a bald old man and a sallow-faced youth. “Who are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A professor and senior brother from the lab.” Xu Qingzhou turned his gaze away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we go say hello?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, let’s order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen and Wang Wei both looked serious, as if discussing something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Guangzhi’s smile grew stiff—this junior was awfully bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read! {\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this guy supposed to be a freshman?! How could he be a freshman?! At that moment, only two questions filled their minds: Who am I? Where am I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All showed severe anisotropy?” Xu Qingzhou was startled—the situation was worse than he’d anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sample No. 89, after 24 hours of experimentation: when the magnetic field was parallel to the wide face of the strip, the critical current density jc(4.2K, 5T) increased sharply from 3.0×10³ A\u002Fmm² before rolling to 5.2×10³ A\u002Fmm²; but when the magnetic field was perpendicular to the strip surface, jc dropped to 0.3×10³ A\u002Fmm².”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior, you might not know—being allowed to join a project, even just doing menial tasks, benefits your future.” The boy beside Lu Guangzhi explained common knowledge to Xu Qingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve always eaten this little.” Song Yao muttered. Since entering school, she’d noticed all the girls were shouting about losing weight—it had put immense pressure on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thought they were some big shot. That’s it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Glad I could help.” Xu Qingzhou didn’t boast—any expert proficient in mathematics could have spotted the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Guangzhi wasn’t offended by Song Yao’s attitude; he smiled faintly, refined and composed. “Junior, I heard you’re from the Math Department. I have a project needing help from math students—if you’re willing, you can assist me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou’s forehead darkened with lines; he reached out, pinched her cheek, and squeezed. “Sleepwalking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Professor.” Watching the group flee in panic, Xu Qingzhou thanked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Qingzhou praised, Song Yao felt an inexplicable pride—almost happier than if she’d been praised herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, where did this idiot pop up from now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao didn’t understand either—she only recognized the units and terms like magnetic field; together, they meant nothing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the one sleepwalking!” Song Yao snapped back, swatting his hand away and rubbing her sore cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Song Yao, what a surprise to meet you here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei had dark circles under his eyes—he’d clearly stayed up late last night. “The alternating configuration diagram of the niobium-titanium alloy in the preliminary stage showed a martensitic phase forming in the Ti-rich regions, while the Nb-rich regions showed almost no change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen shook his head. “Without you, our project would’ve been delayed by at least two months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao couldn’t help glancing again at the two figures in the distance, especially the old man—his hair was already sparse, and he kept tugging at it while speaking. She wondered: Do all researchers look this disheveled? The thought made her anxious—would Xu Qingzhou turn out like this too? Instantly, she pictured him balding and listless—so ugly! They seemed to vaguely grasp what the old man had meant just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, what project’s so impressive it’s trying to steal our people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he walked off with Wang Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen shook his head, glanced at Song Yao, and said, “Xiao Xu, you and your girlfriend eat first. I still need to work with Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other man was condescending; Xu Qingzhou didn’t bother being polite. He smiled slightly, almost shyly. “Sorry, I’m quite busy right now—not every project suits me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mapo tofu, hui guo rou—two dishes, just the two of them; they dared not order more. Soup was free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold snort echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally seemed to notice Lu Guangzhi and the others, frowning. “You’re so young, yet you don’t learn anything good—just showing off everywhere. Why are you still standing here? Should I call Professor Zhang Ming to come and kick you out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Guangzhi and the others were left speechless. Especially when Zhao Shengwen mentioned Professor Zhang Ming—their vice dean—they slunk away in shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start with mapo tofu. You… have any?” Xu Qingzhou turned and saw Song Yao staring at his hair with a mournful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Guangzhi’s gaze swept over Xu Qingzhou, it darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou looked at the two approaching men and greeted them: “Professor Zhao, Senior Wang.” Hearing his address, Lu Guangzhi and the others paled. Clearly, the bald old man was no one to mess with—but they were even more curious about his words: stealing their people? Zhao Shengwen ignored Lu Guangzhi and the others entirely, turning to Xu Qingzhou. “Xiao Xu, your prediction was right. Wang and I re-ran the experiments using your data—and under specific conditions, we confirmed that at Sample No. 83, the magnetic field became distinctly chaotic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be Song Yao’s high school classmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a clean-cut young man, his face lit with a bright, confident smile, his admiration unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, who in the Economics Department didn’t know Song Yao had a childhood friend from high school? They were close—but not dating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor and I extended the sample experiment time by double, but the magnetic field results remain unsatisfactory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they searched for seats, a group suddenly blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou looked at Song Yao’s bowl—only a few mouthfuls of rice left—and sighed. “Huh~ When did you start eating so little?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Shengwen nodded. “That’s correct. But we can confirm: adding hafnium and zirconium is the right direction. The exact quantities still need time to determine the optimal range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were quickly prepared. Xu Qingzhou carried the food; Song Yao held a small bowl, ladling rice. She first gave him a full bowl, then filled her own to a normal level. Then she hesitated—was she eating too much? She scooped half a ladle from her bowl and added it to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao nodded, frowning at the group. “Let’s sit over there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Guangzhi and the others were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh, last time I went to your place, you ate two big bowls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingzhou didn’t call her out. He began thinking about the experiment—how much hafnium and zirconium to add? Based on the data, the optimal samples should be between No. 30 and No. 60. Song Yao puffed out her cheeks, staring at Xu Qingzhou for a long time. Seeing no reaction, she finally blurted: “Is hanging out with me really this boring?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thinking about the experiment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think. Eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yao worried again about Xu Qingzhou’s hair—he was thinking even while eating. No wonder he’d go bald!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-20T21:06:39.533Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7bb449cfbb26354d1e51bdc697dadaab89767e2bdbed0b82c54e4d582a86fd05","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-79","i-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--chapter-77",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-focused-on-science-but-you-want-to-trick-me--cover.jpg"]
