944 Is It Really Good to Like Him?

Professor Floodland, the deputy dean of the Star Cloud Academy’s Life Science Academy, pushed the flat glasses on his nose that were only used for decoration. He frowned slightly and looked at Elvy, who was still standing respectfully opposite him. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“About that… Elvy, I’m very happy to see from this paper that you’ve recovered much more than before, but…”

Professor Floodland changed the topic and his expression became serious. He pointed at the thesis that Elvy had just submitted on the virtual screen and continued seriously, “I have to tell you that this thesis still doesn’t meet the evaluation standard. If it’s submitted to the “Natural Science” magazine like this, it definitely won’t pass.”

“Is that so?” Unexpectedly, not only did Elvy not show any disappointment when she heard Professor Floodland’s words, she even looked relieved. She even smiled slightly, “Thank you for your guidance. In fact, I know very well that the level of this thesis is not enough. Professor, please help me withdraw my application to publish the thesis in ‘Nature Science’. In addition… I’m sorry.”

Hearing that Elvy’s last apology was very sincere, Professor Floodland shook his head and sighed softly.

“Heh, Elvy, tell me, what happened to make you look so uneasy in the past two months? If not for the fact that you’ve invested much less energy in research than before, I believe that with your talent and accumulation, you would definitely be able to produce a paper that’s much more exciting than this.”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Elvy’s face. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything and only smiled bitterly.

Professor Floodland frowned at the bitter and gloomy smile on Elvy’s face that did not match her age. His frown deepened.

He was certain that this genius student he valued the most and felt would be the most likely to achieve results in the recent years of Star Cloud Academy’s Life Science Academy must have been troubled by some special thing, which greatly affected her condition.

However, if Elvy did not say anything, he could not help her much.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Floodland pointed at the thesis displayed on his personal terminal and said to Elvy, “There’s still a month until the official evaluation of this issue of the ‘Natural Science’ Magazine’s New Research Award. I’ll get someone to get rid of the magazine and give me a few days to submit the manuscript. Hurry up and revise this thesis in the next few days. I hope that the next time you submit it, it can at least obtain my approval.”

Elvy glanced at Professor Floodland in surprise, then bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your care, but… I think it’s still…”

Elvy suddenly paused.

“Or what?” Professor Floodland asked with a frown.

“No, it’s nothing.” Elvy shook her head and bowed to Professor Floodland before bidding farewell.

Looking at Elvy’s departing figure, Professor Floodland frowned again.

Although Elvy did not say anything, he could clearly sense that she was clearly not enthusiastic about writing a new thesis.

Not only that, her performance during this period of time had always been distracted as if she could not do anything or focus.

“Could it be that something happened to her family?” Professor Floodland thought seriously and hesitated.

Investigating a student’s private matters was not in line with his usual policy. If Elvy did not say anything, he could not do much.

“I can only hope that she can resolve it herself. Otherwise, she’ll miss such a good opportunity.”

…

Elvy, who walked out of Professor Floodland’s office, only had a flash of what he had said in her mind before she threw it to the back of her mind.

That’s right, she was indeed not interested in modifying her thesis or anything else. Or rather, she really felt that she was not interested in anything.

This was because the only thing she was concerned about now was a problem.

When would Chu Nan have clear news?

Three months ago, Chu Nan had participated in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition. Before this, he could still hear news about him everywhere because his extremely outstanding performance in the competition had attracted the attention of countless people.

However, after he was judged to have failed in the quarter-finals because of an accident, Elvy only video-called him after the competition ended. After that, there was no news of him.

During this period of time, Elvy could not help but contact Chu Xiaoxi and ask if she had any news of Chu Nan. The answer she received shocked her.

Chu Nan had actually disappeared!

At first, Elvy did not believe this because, with Chu Nan’s current strength, not many people could do anything to him. How could he disappear for no reason?

However, it had been nearly three months since then, but there was no news of Chu Nan.

Elvy was certain that if not for the fact that Chu Nan had the experience of being judged dead by everyone after falling into the stargate and only returning completely half a year later, she would definitely have been nearly destroyed by her psychological pressure.

Fortunately, after that experience, although she was still worried about Chu Nan’s safety, she could still maintain her composure and did not feel that the sky was about to collapse like last time.

Of course, this matter still inevitably seriously affected her state, preventing her from concentrating regardless of whether she was studying or researching. Naturally, the effect was very poor.

During this period of time, Elvy had even asked herself if it was really good to like such a guy who always had all kinds of situations and always made people worry for him.

However, if he could not obtain an answer to this question, he did not need an answer at all. This was because liking someone was liking them. There was no reason to explain it.

Moreover, Chu Nan was the first boy she clearly liked in her life, so how could she easily reject this emotion?

Elvy was very smart, so she cleverly gave up thinking about this.

Since she liked him, she would like him well. It was natural for her to worry about him. There was no need to feel conflicted.

However… when would this b*stard return safely?

Just as this question flashed through her mind for the thousandth time, the personal terminal on Elvy’s wrist suddenly recalled the notification of a communication request.

Through the notification, it could be seen that this was an unfamiliar call. However, not only was Elvy not fed up with receiving a harassment call, her eyes suddenly lit up and she almost reflexively chose to answer.

A moment later, the face that he had been thinking about day and night appeared on the virtual screen opened by his personal terminal.
