"Durian."

"Oh! It turns out that this one is durian. I've heard of it, but I've never eaten it. It turns out to have such a peculiar taste. So durian is liquid like coconut? ”

"No, this is milk tea."

“.” Phaethon looked at the cup, "Don't you think this thing is a little strange, strange tropical fruits, tangled with many strange ingredients?" Compared to tea, I look more like some kind of eight-treasure porridge. And there are some. Something stinky? I don't have much knowledge, can this be called a smell? ”

"This can be called a stink in every sense of the word."

"Then why do you like to eat stinky things?"

"Isn't the fish sauce in Rome also smelly?"

"That's different. The smell of fish sauce is fermented and can be controlled. Durian is naturally so stinky, this stink from nature is simply shockingly smelly. But I think I've seen it on a flyer for takeout, and it's still a good seller? ”

"Yes, it's very expensive, 50 dollars can only buy two cups, and others treat them. One for Apollonia to drink, one for you. ”

"Uh, you didn't drink it yourself?"

"It's not like I haven't drunk it, it's not bad for this sip, so let's drink it. It just so happens that you have to take the exam tomorrow, so give you a strong ride? ”

“.” Although I don't know how to make a cup of stinky durian eight-treasure porridge, I bought it all, and Faetong didn't want to refuse.

She took it, plugged in the straw and took a sip.

“.” She still didn't speak.

"How does it taste?"

"It's not hard to drink, but I can probably guess why it's so popular."

"Oh, like?"

"For example, if I have 5 girlfriends, I can chat with them for an hour after drinking a cup of milk tea: from the durian materials, to my own hearing, to the process of queuing, to the feeling of drinking durian tea, and finally to describe the reactions of other people who heard this passage before. It's well spent, and good topics aren't always available. Spending the money of a cup of milk tea can allow you to master the conversation box for 5 hours, and you can get more money. ”

"Is there still such a use?"

"Well, it works. When Victoria came, I also came to tell her about this cup of durian tea. Because there are no traditional durian producing areas in the Roman-controlled area, Victoria must not have drunk it. Let's treat her to a drink when the time comes. ”

"Are you sure she can drink this?"

"After drinking it, the taste should be fine. Durian has a natural sweetness that is much richer than the taste of many sweeteners. She probably wouldn't have refused. By the way, did she say when she was going to be serious? ”

"I don't know, but I think I would."

Before the voice could be heard, the phone rang. Shang Luo answered the phone-

Two minutes later, he hung up.

"At this point, who called?"

"Senior brother." Shang Luo put down the phone, "He said that tomorrow your exam will be invigilated in two halves, he will come in the first half, and change to another teacher in the second half." Then, let me go to him tomorrow afternoon—to-morrow afternoon the Roman legation will arrive, and they will come to discuss the arrangements for Victoria's own arrival. ”

"Is it going to be so grand? Is it an official visit? ”

"No, she still came with an alchemy body, because she couldn't leave the palace for too long now, and she had something to deal with. However, even if it is an alchemy body, you have to report it before you come before you can make various arrangements. I'll deal with this, compared to this, are you sure about tomorrow's exam? ”

"Rest assured. I've been in retreat before, and I'm very well prepared. ”

The next day at noon.

Shang Luo waited at the door of Zhu Xianene's office, holding a cup of ginger tea in his hand. This time he stayed away from any of the pillars, so as not to touch the building wood that he shouldn't touch.

The bell of the elevator over there "ding", and Zhu Xianene and a few brocade guards walked all the way from the elevator.

"How's it going?" He asked Zhu Xianene, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

"Tsk." Zhu Xianene shook his head, "Anyway, why are you sitting at the door?" You go in and sit down. ”

Shang Luo shook his head violently: "I know what treasures are in this palace, I don't dare to touch them casually." If it touches Jianmu or something, causing a chain reaction, it's over. ”

"Ah, indeed. I do have a few things in my room, and I'll write you a note when I get back. He took out the key, opened the office door himself, and motioned for Shang Luo to follow.

Sitting on the inside and outside of the desk, Zhu Xianene took a sip of tea first: "I invigilated the exam in the morning." It's just the result."

"As a result, not so good?"

"She may not be able to be in the same class as you."

"Ahh She didn't do well in the exam? Shang Luo also has expectations for this, after all, this is a temporary cramming, and he will not do well in the exam.

"I'm going to get her to graduate school directly."

"Hah??? Why? ”

"Because she's fully up to the standard for entering my own laboratory. Ha, actually, I read your paper too. It can only be said that it is difficult to say, the test is actually okay, but considering that you are a celestial person, it can be seen that you have not invested too much time in your studies. ”

"I only have 76 seconds! I wrote the whole essay in 3 seconds. ”

"That's the balance of casting spells on you. And even if you become my graduate student, you don't have the energy to come to my research room. And do you really have a good study habit? ”

"This. Truly. ”

But Phaethon's allocation of time is very much in line with the potential of a researcher: she is able to retreat and eat all this knowledge thoroughly. She was able to systematically generalize, learn, and grasp all the basic knowledge of another educational system, and she mastered it quite well. This ability to learn independently is exactly what a researcher needs. She really fits Dan Dao very well. So I'm going to let him into my lab directly. ”

"Then me."

"You? You're going to have a big class with the other freshmen. By the way, I will call her senior in the future, because she is one level higher than you. ”

"Call her senior?"

"She's about to start taking over the actual research work, and of course she can be counted as your senior. Well, but because I arranged the course, I still arranged some public classes for her freshmen to study. For example, civic education and the like, so that she can understand our social life. So there are a handful of classes that you probably still take with her. Of course, most of the courses you probably can't touch, and people outside can't touch them. ”

"Danxue?"

"Hmm. Oh yes, I'm going to have her as my teaching assistant, and it's possible to give you a lecture when the time comes. When the time comes, remember to be obedient and don't cause trouble to your husband. ”
