Chapter 824: Not Inferior to the Seniors

Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Fengqing was visibly shocked, his expression pained. “What? Miss Gu Yang, you chose the Physics Department?”

He had always assumed Gu Yang would opt for psychology.

Ji Minghui, informed by Ji Linbai beforehand, showed no surprise.

Gu Yang nodded, confirming her decision.

Chen Fengqing momentarily felt crestfallen but quickly composed himself, asserting passionately, “No, I must go to Hua University’s Physics Department and advocate for her! What right does the Physics Department have to steal our thunder?”

Gu Yang couldn’t help but twitch her lips. What exactly was this “thunder” he was talking about?

Pang Xun’s expression remained stern. “Gu Yang, I acknowledge your talent, but don’t become too arrogant. Choosing physics over psychology—do you believe you’ve reached your peak?”

Gu Yang blinked. “I wouldn’t dare claim perfection, but I believe my abilities are comparable to those of the esteemed members here.”

Ji Linbai’s eyebrows twitched.

He didn’t doubt her capabilities, but how could Gu Yang deliver such bold statements in such a modest and polite manner?

Pang Xun sneered. “Bold words!”

Chen Fengqing persisted, already contemplating persuading Gu Yang to pursue a second degree in psychology. He muttered, “No, Yangyang must make a name for herself in our psychology department!”

“Alright, alright. Since you’ve passed the assessment, Gu Yang is now a new member of our Psychological Studies Society,” Ji Minghui intervened, separating Pang Xun and Chen Fengqing, and ushering them to their seats to commence the day’s academic discussion.

Gu Yang settled beside Ji Linbai.

Being young acquaintances, they were comfortable sitting together.

Having been confined to Hua University for half a month without seeing Baibai, they caught up.

Their conversation revolved around Gu Jin and Ruan Chu.

Upon learning that Gu Jin was indeed with Xiao Yize, Ji Linbai was taken aback. “Boss is really with Xiao Yize?”

Gu Yang nodded with a smile. “Yes, that’s right.”

Ji Linbai struggled to swallow his tea, attempting to calm his overwhelming excitement. The situation felt surreal to him, almost unbelievable.

After all, he had witnessed their clashes.

If Su Ye had told him about this, he wouldn’t have believed it, but he trusted Gu Yang wouldn’t deceive him.

Gu Yang asked curiously, “How’s my cousin been lately?”

“She’s back on the production team. She’s starring as the female lead in a period drama, playing a valiant female general. She looks stunning. If you have time, you should check out her work,” Ji Linbai replied, slipping in the last sentence almost reflexively.

Gu Yang paused, slightly bemused.

Ji Linbai coughed lightly. “I’m not making this up. It’s really good. I believe the drama is called Cloud Treading.”

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow. “You visit often?”

Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, Ji Linbai said proudly, “I’m actually the vice president of her fan club now.”

The president is Ruan Chu’s grandpa. He couldn’t compete for that position, nor would he dare to.

“Then you’re quite something,” Gu Yang replied casually before asking abruptly, “You like my cousin, don’t you?”

Ji Linbai was taken aback. Meeting Gu Yang’s perceptive gaze, he nodded lightly.

He knew there was no need to deceive Gu Yang.

Gu Yang continued, “Then go for it.”

She sensed that Ruan Chu held a favorable opinion of Ji Linbai. It was just that past experiences had left her guarded, compounded by the challenges of her profession, making it harder for her to pursue a new relationship.

Ji Linbai fell silent for a moment before remarking, “She’s still ascending in her career.”
