In the busyness, two hours passed quickly. The rental time of the venue in Building A was up, and the consultation meeting had to come to an end. The last recommended student from another school seemed to be extremely outstanding. Adrian Fang talked to him for a long time, and Ethan Li's record paper was also filled with dense writing.

After all, he is not a professional in this field, and even if he has excellent hearing, he cannot be perfect. Adrian Fang, who was talking very fluently with the student opposite him the moment before, discovered the problem the next moment.

A slender finger reached out and tapped the end of Ethan Li's record, saying, "There's one missing here, it's called Forget it, let me do it."

Before Ethan Li understood, he felt someone approach him, took the pen from his hand, and filled in the missing part. As he watched the hand write all the way to the last word, Ethan Li heard a low voice in his ear: "It's an algorithm of a certain program, it's hard to spell."

Ethan Li lowered his head, not knowing how close Adrian Fang was. He only felt the other person's slightly warm breath brushing against his head when he spoke, blowing a few strands of his hair, making him feel a little itchy.

But soon, Adrian Fang stepped back and sat quietly aside.

The students who were guaranteed admission to graduate school left one after another. Hong Yue came over to collect the records. Seeing how smoothly the process went, she was a little surprised. She couldn't help but say to Ethan Li, "Thank you so much, classmate. What's your name?"

Adrian Fang also tilted his head slightly when he heard this. Oh, by the way, after so many coincidences, this person who left a deep impression on me, I actually don’t know his name.

However, after just a few contacts, Adrian Fang also felt this man's personality. He was quite unique, and he didn't seem to be interested in making friends unless he was looking for money. Hong Yue would probably be disappointed.

Sure enough, Ethan Li just shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

But before he turned around, he was caught by Hong Yue again.

"Don't be shy. This is not a commendation meeting. We don't do good deeds without leaving our names. Come on, tell me, what's your name?"

Ethan Li was held tightly by her and had no choice but to speak.

"Ethan Li."

Which "Li"? Which "Ethan Li"? Adrian Fang wondered.

"Which 'Li' and which 'Ethan Li'?" Hong Yue was like his roundworm.

Ethan Li paused, took the pen again, and wrote his name on a piece of waste paper.

"Oh, it sounds good." Hong Yue was particularly supportive, "Then Ethan Li, thank you very much today. You should know that we are from the School of Computer Science. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the institute to play. I will treat you to some candy."

Amid Hong Yue's thanks, Adrian Fang looked at Ethan Li, who still maintained his original expression, without even a polite smile on his face. People who were suspicious might think that he felt that he was at a great loss for helping her.

It turns out that compared to the leaps and unpredictable changes in rational thinking, this young secretary's emotional thinking is very simple and monochromatic.

What a strange person, hard to figure out.

Just as Adrian Fang was staring at the person's back and drawing a psychological analysis curve chart, the target person suddenly took a few steps, turned his head, and came in front of him again.

Adrian Fang quickly lowered his eyes and happened to see Ethan Li take something out of his pocket, put it on the table in front of him, and turned away.

It's two coins

Car money? Do you remember to pay it back?

Without feeling surprised, Adrian Fang stretched out his hand and held the two coins in his palm, as if he could feel the warmth that still remained on them.

********

The group of people from the research institute ordered meals for four days. Ethan Li was not there yesterday at noon, so it was naturally his turn to deliver the meals today.

Other project teams have also been busy these days. Seeing how well the students in Liu Chuping's group ate, they all followed suit and ordered meals from Doudou Dim Sum Restaurant. The quantity was so large that Ethanguang had to run up and down the stairs three times.

Today is the computer-based test for students who have been admitted to graduate school. Hong Yue and the others were supposed to help in the computer room, but Adrian Fang came back at noon and happened to run into Ethan Li when he entered the elevator.

Liam Wang was there too. Perhaps because the memory of giving away computers at a loss was too vivid, Ethan Li was not wearing a hat this time, so Liam Wang recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, it's you, what a coincidence!"

It's such a coincidence that you haven't encountered it yet, Adrian Fang thought, and turned to look at the little body with red cheeks due to running around, and actually sighed as if talking to herself behind Liam Wang.

"So many to give away."

Liam Wang then noticed that Ethan Li was holding two large lunch boxes in each of his hands. In order to keep them warm, the boxes were not light.

"I, I'll help you get it." Liam Wang and Max Zhao discussed the matter later. Neither of them had the idea that they were cheated by Ethan Li. On the contrary, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that the guy was quite capable. At least they couldn't do it. At this moment, the impression of respect still remained in their hearts, and Liam Wang really wanted to help.

Ethan Li avoided his hand, waited for the elevator to arrive, and walked out swiftly.

The food was delivered to other groups one by one, and finally to Adrian Fang's place. Liam Wang was calling the people who hadn't come, and said to Ethan Li while he was on the phone: "Pack it up, they will come over to eat later."

Ethan Li didn't provide this kind of humane service. He just took the food out of the thermal box.

Liam Wang was particularly tactless and tried to talk to Ethan Li: "Where did you take my computer last time? How much did the junk collector sell it for?"

Ethan Li was too lazy to answer questions that were not important to work.

The naturally enthusiastic northern man said, "After you deliver here, where else do you want to deliver? It's so hot, you can sit for a while before leaving."

Ethan Li didn't waste any time, he just packed up his things and left.

"Wait, wait, you need to give me a invoice. I have to ask my senior to reimburse the school. Someone is looking for me. Huai Ning, please get the invoice for me." Liam Wang said halfway and sat down in front of the computer to start a video.

Adrian Fang looked at Ethan Li.

Ethan Li also looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds in silence.

Adrian Fang lowered her head slightly and asked, "You didn't bring it?"

Ethan Li half raised his head and said, "No one told me to open this."

Adrian Fang: "I told your colleague who delivered the food two days ago. He probably forgot to tell you."

These people have been unreliable for a long time, so Ethan Li turned around and left.

Adrian Fang blurted out: "Where are you going?"

Ethan Li said, "I'll go back and get it."

"etc"

Ethan Li paused and turned his head to look at the hand on his arm.

Adrian Fang was startled, and quickly let go: "It's not a big deal, it's the same if you bring it here tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, he casually asked, "You'll come over tomorrow too, right?"

Before Ethan Li could respond, Liam Wang on the other end started calling out first.

"Huai Ning, Huai Ning, come here quickly."

Adrian Fang was surprised: "What's wrong?"

It turned out that Liam Wang's group had recently cooperated with a German school on an experiment, and his senior sister asked him to be in charge of the communication. However, Liam Wang sent the information late, and due to the time difference in Germany, the people were no longer in school, so the document he hurriedly replied to was entirely in German.

"Go find Wei Ping and see if she's here. Ask her to come over."

Wei Ping is Qian Kun's girlfriend, who is from the German Department of A University, while Qian Kun is another roommate of Adrian Fang and Liam Wang. The four of them have a very close relationship. In the past, the translation needs of the research institute were basically asked to her or master's and doctoral students from the Foreign Languages   Department.

Adrian Fang said: "Aren't they traveling abroad?"

"Ah? Yes, I just remembered. What should I do? Where can I find a translator at this time? I can't just ask him to rewrite it. I have to give feedback to my senior sister later." Liam Wang was anxious.

Adrian Fang understood that Liam Wang sent his information late because he was helping them. He was not a guaranteed graduate student, but was just here for an internship. He would take the postgraduate entrance examination next year, and Liam Wang was worried that any trivial mistakes would leave a bad impression on his tutor.

Adrian Fang frowned: "I'll think of a way." He did know someone in the Foreign Languages   Department, the girl he had met in the library before the exam, who insisted on giving her a seat. She was also Wei Ping's classmate. However, if Adrian Fang asked for it and she really came, he would have to find a time to repay the favor, for fear that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings on the other party.

Adrian Fang hesitated but reached for the phone.

No matter what, the problem must be solved.

"He wants you to sort out the data that he sent over the past two days. Professor Braun will have a live call with you tomorrow at noon to discuss your network compression project. He also listed a few points about the project."

Suddenly they heard a third person talking, Adrian Fang and Liam Wang turned around together, only to find that Ethan Li had not left yet.

Because he was still struggling with whether or not to give the girl his phone number, Adrian Fang failed to react immediately. He looked at Ethan Li moving his mouth and even thought for a moment that he was still talking about the invoice.

Ethan Li knew they didn't understand the two confused faces, so he could only point to the printed document on the table and explain: "It says here."

Liam Wang: "Ahhh??!!"

Adrian Fang: ""
