The palm clasping her waist was hot.
Not long after.
In less than a minute.
Cheng Juan’s lips moved aside, his breath slightly unstable, but his lips were still pressed against the corner of her mouth.
With lowered eyes and sharp pupils, he slowly and calmly said, “We’ve reached.”
Ding—
The elevator reached the floor.
**
Inside the house, Cheng Mu had already prepared the food.
No one came over today except Cheng Mu and Cheng Jin.
After the group finished eating, Cheng Jin took an envelope to find Cheng Juan.
Without looking up, Cheng Juan flipped through another pile of print A4 papers in his hand. “Put it down first.”
Cheng Jin nodded and glanced at him before realizing he had the exam questions from the laboratory in his hands.
“This is…” He was taken aback.
Instead of asking Cheng Juan, he stepped aside and asked Cheng Mu, who was making tea. “Miss Qin will enter the Physics laboratory next March?”
Cheng Mu poured water into the cup before carefully counting seven tea leaves.
He answered without looking up, “No.”
“That’s good.” Cheng Jin lowered his voice and glanced at Cheng Juan. “I thought Miss Qin was so perverted to take the assessment in March.”
Cheng Jin had also taken part in the laboratory assessment before. Other than Cheng Huo, all of them had suffered defeat.
Seeing that Cheng Mu had finished brewing the tea, he directly took the tea from his hands and was about to find Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.
Cheng Mu’s voice sounded expressionless. “Miss Qin is participating in the assessment next month.”
Cheng Jin’s footsteps immediately paused.
Cheng Mu glanced at him, then calmly took the cup from his hand. He walked to Qin Ran and carefully placed the teacup in front of her.
Qin Ran was watching the laboratory video, which Cheng Mu glanced at and couldn’t understand. Walking over to Cheng Juan, he saw that he was looking at the theoretical data that the Dean had compiled for Qin Ran. He seemed to be assessing the system and scope.
Cheng Mu took a look and realized that the Physics laboratory examination was divided into two rounds: the theory and the experimental examinations.
The number of people assessed by Beijing University and University A accounted for one-third, while the four major families shared the remaining parts with other domestic universities.
University A and Beijing University dominated every year.
Even the four major families were at a disadvantage, let alone the other schools.
The assessment was conducted twice a year, at the beginning of December, and at the end of March. Each time, about 100 people participated.
But only the top 50 in the theory class would be left to continue the experimental test, which was divided into seven levels. From top to bottom, they were S, A, B, C, D, and E experiments. Obtaining the C-level and above guaranteed their place in the laboratory.
It sounded easy, but in fact, most of the people who took part in the test failed the experiment.
Only half of 50 people could get in.
“The proportion is terrifying.” Cheng Mu took a look and couldn’t help taking a step back. This kind of place was where Great Gods went to.
Cheng Juan helped Qin Ran read the pile of documents and used a red pen to draw important points for her.
“Master Juan, you’ve never studied Physics, right?” Cheng Mu thought for a while and confirmed that he had never studied Physics before. At most, he studied photography and economics at university.
Without looking up, Cheng Juan faintly said, “Yeah.”
“Then, you…”
“I’m only highlighting the key points for her, I don’t need much professional knowledge for that.” Cheng Juan slowly turned a page and casually said, “High school knowledge is enough.”
Cheng Mu was speechless.
He didn’t know why he asked.
Cheng Juan returned to his study after helping Qin Ran draw the key experiment content.
He pulled out a chair and took out a cigarette from the drawer. The thin smoke wafted up, and he lightly glanced at Cheng Jin through the smoke. “How’s the situation?”
“I haven’t found anything useful.” Cheng Jin handed the envelope to him and paused. “Why don’t we find Ouyang Wei? She has permission at 129…”
Everyone thought of 129 as long as records and investigation were included.
“Wait a little longer.” Cheng Juan thought for a while and then snuffed the cigarette. He opened the window to disperse the smoke.
Without saying much, Cheng Jin just took the envelope and went downstairs.
He met Cheng Mu, who was moving the flowerpot to Qin Ran’s room.
“Have you been in contact with Ouyang Wei recently?” Cheng Jin asked him.
He shook his head. “She hasn’t looked for me recently.”
He would usually be very excited at the mention of Ouyang Wei, but this feeling had long disappeared.
“She’s going to take the intermediate membership examination.” Cheng Jin reminded him again.
Slightly surprised, Cheng Mu nodded and muttered expressionlessly. “Oh.”
Then, he went to the window to pick up his small shovel, which he carefully wiped before putting into his bag.
Cheng Jin stared at his back, speechless.

Upstairs.
Qin Ran turned on the computer, but Song Luting’s video had yet to pop up.
Just then, a video call popped up. It was Chang Ning.
Picking up her headset, she put down her book and pen and looked up at him. “What’s the matter?”
“Are you going to set the questions for this year’s membership assessment?” On the other end, Chang Ning was walking downstairs, his tone absent-minded.
Hearing this, Qin Ran pressed her temple and said with a headache, “No.”
“Okay.” Although a little regretful, he wasn’t surprised. It was already beyond his expectation that she had set the questions last year. “Oh, there’s another matter. You have a new order, are you taking it?”
“No.” Without even listening to it, Qin Ran picked up a pen in her right hand and casually wrote on the paper. “I’m hanging up.”
She directly cut off the connection and opened Song Luting’s video again.
**
Half a month passed in a flash.
Qin Ran didn’t go to the nuclear engineering classes nor the library in the past two weeks. Compared with the library, the laboratory was quieter and suitable for reading.
The Physics laboratory assessments were on the 2nd and 3rd of December.
For the second theory test, the results would be obtained in the morning and the evening. The top 50 would participate in the experiment on the 3rd.
It was the 1st of December, Friday.
Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ling finally returned from City C after recording the show.
When Qin Ling called Qin Ran, she was still doing experiments in the laboratory.
“Sister, I’m going back with my Uncle.” Qin Ling just got off the plane. His face was hidden in the hat of his down jacket, looking extremely small. “Let’s have dinner together tonight. We’ve brought you gifts.”
Putting the reactor into the container and observing the energy changes, Qin Ran calmly said, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, she finished the experiment and turned to check the time.
At five o’clock.
She sent a text message to Cheng Juan, telling him not to find her at 7 pm.
Putting everything into the parcel, she left the building.
Qin Xiuchen’s car was parked at the door.
Still wearing a mask, Qin Xiuchen wore a puffy coat and a heavy hat, making him look suffocating and unremarkable.
He was very inconspicuous.
Qin Ran took the back seat.
The manager very politely and rigorously greeted her, not as casual as their first meeting.
A woman who could make Jiang Dongye pour tea for her… the manager couldn’t address her casually.
But these few days, he still had ideas about the computer that Qin Ling played games on that never lagged, but he didn’t dare ask Qin Ran.
So, he turned to look at Qin Xiuchen.
Glancing at him, Qin Xiuchen slowly took off his bucket-like jacket. “Ran Ran, where did you buy the computer for Xiao Ling? My manager also wants to play games.”
While playing a game with her head down, Qin Ran replied without looking up, “It’s out of print.”
She had assembled the computer parts herself.
There was only one such computer.
The manager was stunned.
“But…” Thinking about it, she continued, “If you want to play games, there’s a good notebook for 2000.”
She slid her fingertips across the game screen and neatly collected an enemy card.
Realizing that she was probably talking about the price, the manager quickly transferred the money to Qin Xiuchen. He didn’t have Qin Ran’s number, so he asked Qin Xiuchen to transfer it on his behalf.
However, a computer that cost 2,000 yuan… was it a second-hand computer?
He wanted to reject it but didn’t dare to.
He was afraid that Film Emperor Qin would kill him.
They went to a restaurant for dinner.
In the hotel, Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin were already waiting for them.
Film Emperor Qin had already asked for Qin Ran’s opinion regarding Butler Qin. He had invited him only after confirming that she wasn’t angry with his presence.
“Ran Ran, Xiao Ling.” Qin Hanqiu’s eyes lit up at the sight of them and stood up.
Butler Qin glanced at Qin Ling first, and his hands hanging on both sides couldn’t help shaking. After a long while, he turned to Qin Ran and greeted her.
The Qin family was a knot in Butler Qin’s heart.
Finally seeing the future of the Qin family, his attention was focused all on Qin Ling.
Qin Xiuchen asked how Qin Ran was doing, then started talking about the show recording.
While they were recording the show, Qin Ran either did experiments or theoretical questions. Cheng Juan had helped her organize a lot of information, so she hadn’t been free to call Qin Ling.
Qin Ling had been frantically absorbing knowledge this month and would ask “Teacher Lu”
on WeChat if he didn’t understand something.
When they talked about the show, the manager also looked up.
“By the way, the first preview of the program is already out. It’ll start broadcasting next Saturday.” At the dining table, the manager glanced at Qin Ran and asked, “Do you have Weibo? Or if you sign up for an account, I’ll let the program group promote you. At that time, you’ll surely have at least one million fans!”
Speaking of the show, he couldn’t help but feel excited. He could already imagine the frenzy on the Internet when the show was broadcasted.
It didn’t rule out the fans who saw that Film Emperor Qin and Yan Xi were following her.
“No need.” Crossing her legs, she remembered the account qr that Lin Siran had registered for her and shook her head. “I don’t want to be involved in the entertainment industry.”
“Okay, then.” The manager regretfully glanced at her.
He thought about how popular she would be in the entertainment industry if she wasn’t Beijing University’s school tyrant.
It was almost 8 pm when they finished eating.
Downstairs, Ah Wen and Ah Hai couldn’t help feeling excited about Qin Ling’s return. They couldn’t wait for Qin Ling and Qin Hanqiu to return to their old house, so they waited directly downstairs for them to come out.
Butler Qin looked at them, and his lips couldn’t help but tremble. He turned to Qin Xiuchen. “Sixth Master, Young Master’s teachers…”
He was talking about Qin Ling’s next teacher. The one who had taught him in City C had already left the day before after saying that he had nothing else to teach him.
Halfway through his sentence, Butler Qin remembered Qin Ran and Qin Hanqiu and swallowed back his words.
He couldn’t reveal this matter yet. If the Fourth Master was to find out…
“Send Ran Ran back first,” said Qin Xiuchen.
Butler Qin, Ah Wen, and the others were anxious to see how talented Qin Ling was. They had no objection to Qin Xiuchen’s decision and hurriedly urged them to leave.
Qin Ran asked them to park in front of Ting Lan’s apartment.
They got out of the car and escorted her to the gate.
Putting one hand in her thick windbreaker, she waved to Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ling with her other hand.
Qin Hanqiu suddenly thought of something and glanced at her. “Ran Ran, Xiao Ling will be at home tomorrow. Do you want to come back with Xiao Cheng for dinner?”
Qin Ran buttoned her coat’s hat.
Putting two hands in her pockets, she raised her head with clear eyebrows and casually said, “No, I have an exam tomorrow.”
Qin Hanqiu wasn’t disappointed.
He was already surprised that Qin Ran was willing to talk to him. He just nagged. “You have an exam on Saturday? Isn’t it said that going to college was being free of hardship? You’re even busier now.”
Standing beside them, Butler Qin heard of Qin Ran’s exam on Saturday and felt puzzled as well. Beijing University had exams on Saturday?
But he didn’t think too much about it, as his mind was quickly occupied by Qin Ling. He urged them to return home and waited for Qin Ling to go in. The thought of Qin Ran’s exam on Saturday was quickly thrown to the back of his mind.
Qin Ran’s exam wasn’t as important as Qin Ling.
