Chapter 28 We are innocent! (Thanks to the leader rwxdx)
"Uh--"

In silence, Ji Jue squirmed twice in his seat and swallowed.

Thinking that he would die if he stuck his head out, or he would die if he hid his head, he might as well die quickly. After a long pause, he finally said, "I feel... it's OK, right?"

"It's OK indeed."

Professor Ye nodded, expressionless: "It barely turned from non-burnable garbage to ordinary garbage. I don't know how you had the nerve to hand it in.

When I received it a few days ago, I specially checked the time to see if it was April Fool's Day.

With your level, how long have you been doing this?"

She asked, "Five days? Three days?"

"almost."

Ji Jue lowered his head and grunted for a long time. In the end, he didn't dare to say that he only took four hours. He didn't quibble anymore. He could only take out his medical record from his pocket and present it with both hands:
"Something happened in the middle. I was hit by a car and stayed in the hospital for a while."

To be honest, although he knew that this pile of stuff was just makeshift, it wasn't that bad. With a little tidying up, it could barely be used as a graduation project. But if Professor Ye only wanted something of that level, why would he ask him for it?

There are so many livestock out there, wild, free-range, and captive, with plump, juicy meat, and they even bring their own coffee when working late at night. Can't we just bring one in and do it?
The medical record was placed on the table, but Professor Ye didn't even look at it.

After glancing at Ji Jue and confirming that his limbs and tail were intact, he pointed to the stack of papers on the table and said, "Except for the framework and data, rewrite the rest, especially the arguments and thesis. Don't use the previous parts to make up the numbers. If I see this kind of 'big bananas have big banana skins' nonsense again, you'd better get out of here."

"Ah? Oh oh!"

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Professor Ye would be so kind this time. Many students in the group had been scolded because of a symbol and pound problem before. Now he reacted and hurriedly took the paper back.

However, the thickness was beyond his expectations.

I haven’t written that much myself.

After opening it, he saw that the paper was marked with dense notes and questions. There were many comments such as "nonsense", "nonsense", "no application value", etc., but most of them were questions and revision suggestions that made Ji Jue sweat.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the cover.

In the position of the second author of the paper, there was a name circled in red, and a question mark next to it that took up almost half of the page.

——【Ye Chun】.

It was obvious that she had seen through Ji Jue's evil trick of trying to drag the senior sister down with him even though Ji Jue was doomed to die.

Ji Jue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Ah, this is just a joke, just a joke, just a joke."

"I know."

Professor Ye blew a sip of tea leaves and said calmly, "You were also the second author on that rubbish she handed in."

"..."

For a moment, Ji Jue wanted to call the police.

Sure enough, every basket of steamed buns, fried dumplings, and oatmeal bags that fate paid for had a price secretly marked on them... It's fine if he dragged someone else to slack off, but why did he drag someone else to take the blame? !
I was wondering why you are so enthusiastic today. It turns out that if someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
"Okay, go ahead. Don't you still want to take your family to visit Tianmen?"

Professor Ye covered the teacup and waved his hand: "Remember to come again this afternoon. I have something else to give you."

"..."

In the silence, Ji Jue hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to speak.

Professor Ye looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Professor, I'll be in this afternoon..."

He grunted and explained, "Something happened."

It's not that he's lazy and doesn't want to come, but Wen Wen asked him a few days ago that he must make time to come this afternoon, otherwise he would be in trouble. It seems that there is something very important and he really can't refuse.

"Well?"

In the brief silence, Professor Ye looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was surprised. Soon, as if he understood something, he nodded in understanding: "So that's it."

She suddenly asked, "Are you in love?"

“No no no no no!!!”

Ji Jue was so scared that he almost jumped up from his chair. He waved his hands hurriedly, fearing that Wen Wen would hear him from hundreds of kilometers away. He punched his chest with his little fist and said, "It's just that my friend came to me for something. I owe him a big favor, so I can't just shirk it."

The professor didn't ask any more questions.

Just waved and didn't ask anymore.

After Ji Jue packed up his paper, he ran away, sweating profusely.

Naturally, after failing to catch Ye Chun's woman who had long since fled, and searching for her for several rounds, he could only say a few harsh words on his phone, such as "Don't let me run into you on Tianmen Street", to express his impotence and rage.

Ye Chunfa also laughed back at him with a dog-head pointing expression.

In the morning, I took Lu Ling to walk around Tianmen for half a circle. After meeting the counselor and classmates, I had just finished my meal in the cafeteria when I received a call from Wen Wen.

"Where are you?"

The motorcycle on the other end of the phone roared: "Have you cleaned up? Don't dawdle, get out of here quickly."

"Where else can I be? Tianmen." Ji Jue sighed: "Sister Wen, I start school today."

"Okay, that's great. Wait."

The phone hangs up.

Less than ten minutes later, Ji Jue heard the familiar roar of a motorcycle on the roadside. It actually drove into the school in a dignified manner. The orange-red color like a flame sped past the school road, attracting countless eyes.

Then, before Ji Jue realized something was wrong and ran away, he stopped in front of him.

"Do you have to be so exaggerated, big sister?"

Ji Jue was puzzled: "What exactly is going on?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I had something good to introduce to you? I found the way!"

Wen Wen took off her helmet, beaming with joy: "Other good Chosen Ones can still live in the wild and rely on nature for food, but Ember, without a guide and inheritance, can't move forward, and he won't be able to use the matrix even if he is given one.

I would like to introduce you to one of the few alchemy masters in the whole of Yacheng. He recently announced that he is planning to recruit an apprentice. I don’t know how many people are so anxious that they are lining up and can’t even meet him once.

It took a lot of effort for my sister to arrange this meeting today. Be more respectful later. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you!"

“Ah?” Ji Jue was dumbfounded. He had not expected that Wen Wen would sign him up for some kind of tutoring class for the Chosen Ones just after his paper was sent back for rewriting. He subconsciously wanted to decline: “I haven’t written my paper yet…”

"It's the same if I write it at night, just walking!"

Wen Wen threw a helmet over and pointed at the back seat, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

With just a pull of his hand, Ji Jue sat on the motorcycle involuntarily. He put on his helmet in a hurry and didn't even notice the familiar smell of perfume in the helmet. The motorcycle began to speed forward.

He could only hold on subconsciously, "Where are we going?"

"Not far! Just around the corner."

The motorcycle went around the lake, crossed the main road, drove up the slope, and passed through the lush green plants on both sides.

However, the further they drove forward, the worse Ji Jue felt and his scalp began to tingle.

This direction...

"Wait a moment, Sister Wen."

Ji Jue followed her into the lobby and into the elevator, trying to stop her.

"Hey, don't be afraid, watch me." Wen Wen raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"not me……"

"rest assured."

She waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to say more, "Wait for my good news!"

Just like that, he strode forward, walked through the corridor with his head held high, and in front of Ji Jue's horrified gaze, he pushed open... the door of Professor Ye's office!

Ji Jue stood frozen in place.

All I felt was a black screen before my eyes.

Um...is it too late to run away now?

From his shock and daze, he heard the voice inside through the door that was not closed tightly. It was so familiar.

"Ms. Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you. To be honest, I have already decided on the candidate for the apprentice. Although the candidate is not satisfactory, I don't plan to change the candidate for the time being."

"Hey, Master Ye, it's okay to take a look. I've brought him here. He's a very smart and capable young man with a lot of talent. He's willing to work like a cow or a horse. He can be tied to a millstone and used as an animal. Why don't you take a look?"

As she spoke, as if she was afraid that she would go back on her word, Wen Wen pushed open the door, pulled Ji Jue, who was about to run away, in, pushed him in front of Professor Ye's desk, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously:

"Look, how is it?
Ji Jue, come and introduce yourself. "

Give her the whole job!
Grass! Go! Ignore!

"Ah... uh... well..."

In the silence, Ji Jue grunted for a long time, not daring to look up, let alone do a backflip, and only greeted weakly: "...Hello, Professor Ye."

Wen Wen couldn't help but quietly kicked him under the table. Why are you so stage-frightened, young man? Bring out your usual eloquence!
If eyes could speak, Ji Jue would definitely be able to hand her a 50,000-word essay. He would say some dirty talk, but he wouldn't dare!

In particular, Professor Ye's eyes gradually changed from astonishment to amusement.

She looked at Ji Jue, then at the helpless Wen Wen beside him, and suddenly asked, "So... is there something going on this afternoon?"

"Ah."

Ji Jue nodded obediently, his face almost buried in his chest.

"…No talk?" Professor Ye asked again.

Ji Jue shook his head frantically, "Really not, bright and clear, pure as water!"

Professor Ye didn't say anything else.

Or rather, she had lived for more than 40 years, but she didn't know how to deal with such an outrageous and embarrassing situation. The research animal that she had reserved for her family was just an excuse to go out for a walk, and suddenly it was exported and sold domestically, and was brought back by someone's introduction.

It was not until Wen Wen's thick-skinned nerves finally realized that something was wrong that she looked at the two of them in confusion and gradually became confused.

"You two, this is..."

"..."

In the brief silence, Professor Ye coughed twice, his usually stern face twitched for a moment, and he said as calmly as possible: "Miss Wen, let me introduce you... The person next to you is a research member of my new phlogiston power structure project team at Tianmen University, and also an apprentice that my workshop is preparing to recruit, Ji Jue."

Wen Wen turned back hesitantly, looked at Ji Jue, then at Professor Ye, and there was a feeling of brain overload in the air.

"That is to say..."

"Yes, that's right."

Professor Ye nodded and said bluntly: "You introduced my apprentice to be my apprentice. I have to say that you have a good eye."

Then, a long silence came.

Awkward, deadly awkwardness, Ji Jue looked at the dust falling on the corner of the wall, and tried hard to reduce his presence to almost non-existence.

You can hear the sound of excavation work going on under the office floor.

After the three-bedroom, one-living-room house was dug out, a 600-square-meter back garden was built, and a football field and a gymnasium were added to accommodate the embarrassment and suicidal impulses that had nowhere to go, and even the grave of a man named Ji Jue!

"……excuse me."

Wen Wen lowered her head and politely crawled out of the crack in the ground that had just been dug.

Soon, he opened the door again, came back with his head down, grabbed Ji Jue, nodded to Professor Ye, and said goodbye politely: "Sorry, can I borrow it for a moment?"

"Remember to close the door."

Professor Ye turned his head away, ignoring Ji Jue's pleading eyes, and looked out the window.

The wind is calm and the sun is beautiful, with no clouds in the sky.

The weather is getting more and more interesting.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
