At the end of the academic conference the next day, the old men expressed their opinions on the rostrum and made suggestions for the development of the discipline. Bai Shutong caught a cold last night, and was ordered by Shao Yuanguang to rest in the hotel today, but he couldn't come to listen to the meeting, so Shao Yuanguang sat alone and watched the old professors on the stage arguing with each other, thinking thoughtfully.

Tired of listening, Shao Yuanguang got up and went outside the door to have a cup of coffee. Standing in the corner of the wall, he heard a few people chatting in a circle not far behind him.

"It's boring to watch old men tear each other apart, but it's worth looking for a few young professors."

"That's it, I saw that Shao Yuanguang was here too, why didn't he go up......"

The topic slowly led to himself, Shao Yuanguang shook his head helplessly, drank his coffee and prepared to go back to the house.

When he turned to leave, he vaguely heard the group gossiping about what they saw and heard last night: "Shao Yuanguang seems to have found a little girl as his girlfriend, and that girl looks like a student." ”

"Really? I heard that Shao Yuanguang is not white, didn't he have a relationship with Tao Min before? Now I'm going to provoke little girls again......"

Shao Yuanguang raised his eyebrows and smiled, but he didn't take their words to heart. The academic circle is also a circle, and there are different opinions, and if you correct them one by one, it is not boring. He pushed the door back to the conference room, where the old men had finally finished their debate and sat on the stage gasping.

The host complimented him a few words and began to walk through the process below.

Yan Shiqing, as the top spot of the School of Psychology of B University, gave a closing speech. At the end of the speech, the results of the paper were announced by the way, and Bai Shutong's paper also won a small academic potential award.

Shao Yuanguang didn't know beforehand, but now he regrets it a little, he knew that he should have let Bai Shutong come over to listen to the meeting. After a summer of meticulous work, maybe she will be happy to know that she has won the award.

After the meeting, Shao Yuanguang accepted the award for Bai Shutong and was about to go back to the hotel, when Yan Shiqing suddenly stopped him, waved to him, and motioned for him to come over and talk.

Yan Shiqing is comparable to Shao Yuanguang's teacher, he didn't talk to Yan Shiqing this time, thinking about how offended he was, so he went over to say hello: "Old Yan, are you looking for me?" ”

Yan Shiqing waited for him to approach, looked Shao Yuanguang up and down, and said, "Your complexion has been much better for most of the past half a year, better than when you left B." ”

Shao Yuanguang smiled. When he left B University, it was the most lost time in his life, and the whole person was inevitably gloomy and gloomy.

But Shao Yuanguang didn't know that his current expression, even when he was in B University, was rare and rare.

Yan Shiqing nodded and cut to the chase: "I heard Tao Min say, you recently got a girlfriend?" ”

This title is quite unfamiliar, Shao Yuanguang hesitated for a moment, and nodded with a smile.

Yan Shiqing glanced at the award certificate in Shao Yuanguang's hand and asked him, "Is this girl?" ”

Shao Yuanguang nodded: "Next time I have a chance to bring you a look." ”

Yan Shiqing didn't say anything after hearing this, thought about it for a while, and decided to say it: "I just heard some discussions, and I want to tell you about them." ”

Looking at Yan Shiqing's expression, Shao Yuanguang understood his intention to call him.

"Elder Yan, you know me, I don't care much about those discussions......"

Before Shao Yuanguang finished speaking, Yan Shiqing shook his head and interrupted him: "This discussion is nothing to you, but what about her?" ”

Shao Yuanguang was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows followed the waves.

"Yuanguang, you have experienced a lot of such things, don't talk about it, just talk about what happened to you and Xiao Tao before. With all these things in front of you, do you still think that these discussions can't make any waves? ”

Shao Yuanguang previously co-wrote an article with Tao Min, and when the article was published, someone picked up his old relationship with Tao Min. These news are not very damaging to him, it is nothing more than adding a bit of romantic image, but for Tao Min, it is tantamount to a heavy blow, directly erasing her contribution to academics, and even after many years, everyone's impression of her is still labeled as "Shao Yuanguang's ex-girlfriend".

Tao Min is quite open-minded and doesn't care much about this, but he is as sensitive as Bai Shutong may not be able to ignore it.

Yan Shiqing saw him hesitate, so he said again: "I heard that girl only graduated with a master's degree, of course, I don't think that the degree determines anything, but others may not have such thoughts." ”

Shao Yuanguang can also imagine other people's discussions, it is nothing more than that a master can't write such a thesis, and there must be a sought-after behind it. This sought-after is undoubtedly Shao Yuanguang, and perhaps this award was also mediated by Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang gradually realized what it means to be full of gold and accumulate and destroy bones.

Seeing that the words had been spoken, Yan Shiqing didn't say anything more, and just told Shao Yuanguang at the end: "I either stopped you, or I wanted to sue you about the stakes." If she doesn't do this business, it's fine, but if she wants to gain a foothold in this business in the future, you should be cautious about your relationship, even if it's for her sake. ”

Shao Yuanguang nodded. Yan Shiqing has been immersed in the academic circle for almost forty or fifty years, and he must see things much more thoroughly than him. If Bai Shutong wants to stay in this circle in the future, she will inevitably face such a problem, it is indeed inappropriate to expose the relationship between the two prematurely, and it is not fair to her-

Back at the hotel, Bai Shutong had already slept for a while. Shao Yuanguang gave her the award-winning certificate, but she didn't take credit, and said with a smile: "Without Mr. Shao's help for me, I would definitely not be able to write." ”

Bai Shutong is also telling the truth, she still avoided writing a thesis a year ago, if she hadn't met Shao Yuanguang this year, she would never have dreamed that she still had untapped academic potential.

Shao Yuanguang heard these words, but he was a little harsh, and said lightly: "The real yàn was made by you, the number jù was sorted out by you, and the text was also written by you." I didn't help much. ”

"But the idea is the ...... you gave" Bai Shutong said halfway, feeling that Shao Yuanguang's face didn't seem to be very good, so he kept silent, and he didn't know where he touched his forbidden area.

Shao Yuanguang glanced at her, sighed and diverted the topic: "Hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to Jiangcheng." ”-

Until he got to the plane, the low pressure around Shao Yuanguang still lingered, Bai Shutong tried to say a few witty words to him, but he only smiled faintly, as if he had something else on his mind, and he was a little distracted.

The plane took off, Bai Shutong sat by the window and looked at the clouds outside, Shao Yuanguang sat beside her and looked at her, and suddenly asked her: "Xiaobai, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Bai Shutong turned his head to look at him and smiled brightly: "Of course, I will continue to follow you to do research." Bai Shutong said, thinking of something, suddenly suppressed his smile, and asked Shao Yuanguang, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" Teacher Shao, you don't want to teach me, do you? ”

"It's not." Shao Yuanguang shook his head.

Bai Shutong exhaled and muttered in a low voice, "I'm scared to death." ”

The plane was noisy, but Shao Yuanguang could hear it clearly. She wanted to follow him, he naturally wanted to be with Bai Shutong, but he had been tying her to his side, what future did he have for her?

Shao Yuanguang thought for a long time and asked her, "Have you ever thought about studying for a doctorate again?" ”

Bai Shutong had also considered this question, so she said her thoughts: "I have thought that I can study on the job, and I will take the exam for your doctorate, Mr. Shao, so that I can continue to follow you......" Bai Shutong paused for a moment, and then said, "Do research." ”

This is the best way she can think of, without leaving Shao Yuanguang or Jiangcheng, she can maintain the status quo as much as possible.

Bai Shutong thought that Shao Yuanguang would definitely support it, but he didn't expect him to shake his head directly: "No, you can't study my doctorate." ”

This teacher-student relationship implies a fatal crisis, which will surely be criticized afterwards. What's more, local in-service doctors may not be able to convince people, and they will be hidden dangers in the future.

"If you want to study for a Ph.D., I'll introduce you to another supervisor."

Shao Yuanguang denied it, Bai Shutong only felt that it was strange for him to come back from a meeting today, so he also said angrily: "Then I won't read it, anyway, I can learn something by doing research with you, no worse than studying for a doctorate with others." ”

Her attitude is also very clear, if she wants to study Shao Yuanguang, except for him, Bai Shutong will not accept anyone.

This didn't make sense for a while, Shao Yuanguang shook his head and turned his head to look away. Bai Shutong was also a little unhappy, pouting and pouting and continuing to look at the clouds outside the window.

Bai Shutong took cold medicine at noon, and after a few minutes of looking at the clouds, he fell asleep, and hit his head on the wall of the plane without realizing it.

Shao Yuanguang watched her hit the plane with her head, he couldn't bear it, leaned over and put his hand on her forehead, and slowly helped her to lean over to his side.

Bai Shutong opened his eyes, saw Shao Yuanguang, and whispered in his dream: "Teacher Shao, I won't leave you anyway." After speaking, she tilted her head and leaned towards Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang saw her leaning over, and hurriedly greeted her with his shoulder, and Bai Shutong's head rested firmly on Shao Yuanguang's shoulder.

She slept soundly, and her little mouth pouted, as if someone had upset her in her dream. Shao Yuanguang helped her cut her hair, called the flight attendant, and made a lip gesture towards her.

The flight attendant understood, and quickly brought a thin blanket and put it on Bai Shutong's body.

Shao Yuanguang helped her tidy up, and looked sideways at her quiet face when she was asleep. He didn't want to break such a balance, but if he didn't break it, Bai Shutong would definitely be hurt by others in the future.

Shao Yuanguang admonished himself to be calm, think slowly, and definitely think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
