Chapter 571: Professor Yang Is Afraid to Be Turned Down Again

Zheng Miao had the same reaction as Tang Miaomiao. Both basically worshipped Gu Mang.

Su Jiaying said with a laugh, “I heard that it’s very difficult to get to that rank. You’re quite a pro at gaming, Gu Mang.”

“I play a lot,” Gu Mang blandly replied, which earned her a curious look from the other girl.

Where did she find so much time to play games? Everyone had to study their butts off for the university entrance exams. How would she earn a place at Capital University if she played games all the time?

With a glint in her eyes, she looked at her roommates and asked, “By the way, what did you guys score on the university entrance exams?

Tang Xiaoxiao scratched her head awkwardly. “My scores are rather low at 697. I barely passed the basic score requirement for medical school.”

Zheng Miao’s scores were not particularly impressive, either at 708.

“I scored 721. What about you?” Su Jiaying turned to look at Gu Mang with a smile, only to hear her impassive answer a second later.

“I didn’t take the exams.”

“You didn’t take the exams?” Su Jiaying repeated in surprise. “You were directly admitted to the school?”

Before Gu Mang could reply, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen, then stood up, and politely nodded to the other girls. “Sorry, I have to take a call.” With that, she headed to the balcony with her phone.

As Su Jiaying watched her leave, she muttered under her breath, “So she had direct admission. No wonder she had time to play games.”

Zheng Miao had a pretty good impression of Gu Mang. She was very polite to others despite her aloof exterior, so Zheng Miao spoke in her defense. “She must be smart enough to be directly admitted into the school. Honestly speaking, those who can get accepted into Capital University can’t be too bad in terms of academics.”

Su Jiaying curled her lips. “That’s true.”

Tang Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, was staring enviously at Gu Mang’s rank on the computer screen. “I wish Gu Mang could carry me in the game.”

Zheng Miao slung an arm around her shoulders comfortingly. “We can hold gaming sessions in the future.”

“Yes, that’d be awesome.” Tang Xiaoxiao’s face lit up at that.

Su Jiaying, on the other hand, walked back to her seat, where she glanced obliquely at Gu Mang’s table.

…

On the balcony.

Gu Mang casually rested a hand on the railing while she answered the call. “Hello, professor?”

The caller was Yang Tianming. “Gu Mang, are you at school right now?”

“Yes,” replied Gu Mang, only to hear silence from the other end for several seconds.

“Do you… want to come check out the lab building?” the professor hesitantly asked. He was probably afraid to be rejected once more.

As she looked at the students walking around downstairs, she stroked her hair and answered affirmatively, “Sure.”

He hadn’t had much hope when he posed the question, so her agreement came as a surprise to him. After getting over his excitement, he hurriedly asked, “Do you know where the lab building is? Do you need me to take you there?”

“It’s fine. I know where it is,” she told him. “See you in a bit.”

“Okay. I’ll wait for you in front of the building.”

After ending the call, Gu Mang returned to the room. She took a black shirt from her suitcase and changed into it. Su Jiaying did a double-take when she saw the piles of monochrome clothing inside the opened suitcase but swiftly retracted her gaze. Tang Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, asked, “Gu Mang, are you heading outside?”

Gu Mang nodded. “Yes.”

“Then will you be eating dinner with us?”

“You guys go ahead without me,” she replied succinctly.

Once she was done changing, she returned to her table, tapped the keyboard twice to turn off the computer before taking her phone and cap with her. She left the dorm while putting the cap on her head. The sun was still blinding at this hour despite it being past five in the afternoon. She tugged at her cap, rolled up her sleeves several times, and put in her earphones.

She had a distinctive aura that attracted passersby’s attention when she walked past them. Someone with keen eyesight, upon recognizing her, immediately told his friends, “Hey, that looks like Gu Mang.”

“The top scholar who got accepted into medical school with full marks?”

“Yes! There’s a video of her attacking a law student with a water bottle on Weibo.”

“She doesn’t seem like the sort of person to do that. With her looks, many would fight to beat up that person on her behalf.”

“You’re on the wrong point, buddy.”
