After Jiang He left, Jiang Fulai finally withdrew his gaze, reopened the camera and microphone, and tapped the desk with his hand, calm and indifferent, "Continue."

The following day, at Xiangcheng Middle School.
The largest high school in Xiangcheng, Bai Lian followed Ji Shaojun into an office.
In the office, Lu Lingxi wore glasses, had short hair, and despite trying to hide it, there were visible whites in her hair. She looked at Bai Lian with a gentle gaze, "Bai student, can you tell the teacher why you want to switch to science?"
Why switch to science?
Bai Lian half-lowered her eyelids, her lashes slightly drooping, long and curled, masking the darkness at the bottom of her eyes. If initially, it was just about not wanting to see history, now...
"Curious," she spoke quietly.
"Curious?" This was a response Lu Lingxi hadn't anticipated.
"Yes," Bai Lian said, looking at the computer on the neighboring office desk, "like how I really want to know how computers transmit information."
Her black pupils reflected the sun's rays from outside the window, resembling a lazy white cat.
Things had changed, and no matter how frightened or unsteady she had been when she first crossed into this world.
But she was earnestly exploring this era, and undoubtedly, she was now filled with curiosity about it.
Ji Shaojun was hearing Bai Lian's reason for the first time, and he couldn't help but tilt his head, looking at the serious expression on his well-behaved niece's face.
After a moment of silence, he remembered how she had answered him last time. Oh—
So what?
Heh, giving him the runaround?
"Good," Lu Lingxi looked at Bai Lian calmly, seeing her seriousness, "How about you do a set of comprehensive science papers for me to look at?"
She found a comprehensive science exam paper on the desk.
Bai Lian took 20 minutes to complete it and returned it to Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi was a language teacher. She took the paper and handed it to a physics teacher in the same office, asking him to help review the exam.
Then she said warmly to Bai Lian, "Let's go, I'll take you to our class. There are a total of twenty classes in senior three, and we are in class fifteen."
Ji Shaojun followed as well.
Senior three had its own building, with a total of five floors from top to bottom, four classrooms per floor, two stairways, and offices in the middle.
Teacher Lu's office was on the second floor, and class fifteen was in the middle of the third floor.
As they passed a stairway, there was a girl in a school uniform coming upstairs with a composition book in her arms, "Teacher Lu."
"Ren student," Lu Lingxi adjusted her glasses and stopped, her voice tender, "leave your homework book on my desk, wait for me a moment; I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Ren Wanxuan looked up, but her gaze fell on Ji Shaojun.
She hadn't seen Ji Shaojun many times, but he looked similar to her father, so she could recognize him.
However, at that moment, her attention was on the person beside Ji Shaojun—
It was her, Bai Lian.
Ren Wanxuan paused, her mind racing with thoughts. Had she really transferred to this school?
Did the Ji Family ever mention the Ren Family to her?
Ji Shaojun saw Ren Wanxuan, and from her look alone, he knew what she was thinking. He calmly shifted his gaze away.
He used to be kind to Ren Wanxuan. Once when he had a matter and wanted to ask Ji Shaorong for help, he went through great lengths to get through the Ren Family's doors.
Then, in the Ren Family's trash can, he saw the drawing he had gifted to Ren Wanxuan.
Since then, he had never visited the Ren Family again.
Lu Lingxi then explained in a low, smiling voice to Bai Lian and Ji Shaojun, sighing, "That's Ren Wanxuan. She's really very, very smart—skipped two grades in middle school. Bai student, you'll get to know her after two days in school. If there's a chance, you could ask her for some study tips."
Ren Wanxuan did not care about Ji Shaojun; she smiled at Lu Lingxi, retracted her gaze, and headed to the office.
After placing her homework book on the desk, she noticed a set of comprehensive science exam papers there.
