Chapter 268: Cold Confrontation, Xie Dog Starts Acting Up
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
At 8:20, the flight took off on time.
Jiang Fuyue initiated a conversation, “Are you also going to the capital?”
“Yes.”
“Yesterday…” Jiang Fuyue wanted to sincerely express her gratitude again, but as soon as she started, the other party interrupted her.
“Sorry, I need to rest now.” The man turned his head away, reclined his seat, leaving her with only the back of his head.
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
Fortunately, her confusion only lasted for two seconds. She didn’t attempt to speak again but instead took out the test papers she had printed yesterday.
The document was sent by Ling Xuan. He had compiled the questions from the D-country set given to the IPhO team that no one had managed to solve, asking her to review them and provide feedback later.
Yes, feedback—tasks typically done by a coach were now all assigned to Jiang Fuyue.
And for those tasks the coach couldn’t handle, like the two questions in the document that both Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin couldn’t solve, those were also left to Jiang Fuyue.
The two were quite justified in their reasoning—
“Ask her, she will know.”
“And she can probably solve them in multiple ways.”
“Since that’s the case, we won’t bother with it then~”
Lin Shumo: “…”
Ling Xuan: “…”
During Jiang Fuyue’s absence, the remaining four members of the IPhO team were focused on tackling the D-country question set.
Now, finally, the team leader was returning.
Huo Fanjin suggested, “How about we go to the airport to pick her up?”
Lin Shumo immediately turned to leave, “I’ll get the car.”
Ling Xuan: “…” Bullying him because he didn’t have a car in the capital.
Fang Canyang: “Sounds good!”
Meanwhile, Jiang Fuyue, unaware of all this, had reclined the small table in front of her and was engrossed in writing and drawing on the test papers.
The document Ling Xuan sent had five pages, totaling 12 major questions.
Last night, after meeting Wu Qian, she had printed them out at a roadside copy shop and brought them onto the plane with her.
The morning light shone through the window, illuminating Jiang Fuyue’s profile, making her appear bathed in a golden glow.
Beautiful, focused, noble, sacred.
Xie Dingyuan turned over and the scene that met his eyes was this very picture.
His expression turned dazed, almost stupefied.
The next second, he shut his eyes tightly.
But the sound of the pen scratching on the paper was amplified, accompanied by the girl’s soft breathing and the faint citrus fragrance in the air, stimulating his senses.
So, even with his eyes closed, it didn’t help at all.
Whatever was meant to attract him, still attracted him.
Jiang Fuyue finished one page, then another, and another.
She moved quickly, not needing a complete process. Just by reading the question, she could mentally solve it and write down the final result.
Half an hour later, she finished all five pages, completing all 12 major questions.
Jiang Fuyue felt hungry.
She called over the flight attendant, “I’d like a bowl of beef noodles, with green onions, ginger, garlic, and extra cilantro.”
“Sure, please wait a moment.” The flight attendant, a young guy, was not only handsome but had a pleasant voice, clear and magnetic enough to make anyone’s ears “pregnant.”
Jiang Fuyue couldn’t help but give him another look.
Just then, Xie Dingyuan adjusted his seat back to an upright position, his expression cold, “Ordering as well.”
His tone was icy, clearly indicating he was not easy to please.
The young flight attendant bent slightly, his attitude becoming even more respectful, “Yes, what would you like?”
“The same as her.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
With that, he turned and left. His uniform accentuated his tall stature, long legs, broad shoulders, and narrow waist, forming a perfect inverted triangle figure.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, her gaze following him for a long moment before she looked away.
Suddenly—
“Ahem!”
Xie Dog: Ultimately, it’s just my own torment.
