Chapter Twenty-Two The First Conversation

  For someone like Li Peicheng whose situation is not that serious, Liu Jiyun generally turns a cold eye on him.

  If there's any verbal offense or physical entanglement, then congratulations to that toad, he'll be spending some time in the hospital. This is also the real reason why others call her the witch Liu Ziyun behind her back.

  Liu Zhi's beautiful eyes revealed a deep and intense glare of disgust, coldly staring at Li Peicheng.

  Li Peicheng shivered all over, he didn't know where he had offended this female Ph.D. student.

  Is it that my smile is not friendly enough, or am I really annoying? Li Peicheng self-examined for a moment, and based on his confidence in himself, he ruled out these two possibilities.

  The witch Liu Ziyu indeed cannot be treated with common sense! Li Peicheng finally came to this conclusion.

  He suddenly had an urge to rush to Professor He's office and push away the topic. Even he began to suspect that the first-year Ph.D. student Ye Yufeng was intentionally making a fuss about being injured.

  Anyway, Li Peicheng was filled with pessimism about the subject he was about to take over.

  Pessimism begets pessimism. The books and materials he needs to read, Li Peicheng still has to read them. He doesn't have the habit of giving up halfway through things.

  Li Peicheng and Liu Zhienyu were the only ones left in the classroom until the teaching building was about to close.

  As Liu Ziyun walked towards her seat, Li Peicheng still gave Liu Ziyun a warm smile, no way, this topic would take at least half a year to complete, which also means that Li Peicheng had to cooperate with this cold woman for half a year.

  Li Peicheng didn't want to interact with an ice sculpture, although the ice sculpture looked very pleasing to the eye. However, being pleasing to the eye was of no help at all in researching topics. Li Peicheng needed an environment that fostered friendly cooperation for scientific research, requiring both parties to be frank and open, passionately discussing any problems that arose during research. But it was clear that interacting with an ice sculpture would not achieve the cooperative atmosphere Li Peicheng desired.

  Moreover, in scientific research experiments, any negligence or untimely communication from either party can lead to the failure of the experiment, and even a long period of useless work. This is what Li Peicheng is most worried about regarding his cold attitude towards Liu Jiyun.

  Li Peicheng's exceptionally enthusiastic greeting and smile once again ignited a small spark in Liu Qiyun's heart, as she considered whether or not to give this guy, who appeared to be a study enthusiast on the surface but was likely hiding lewd thoughts like other men, a kick.

  Liu Zhiyun, who was born with martial arts skills, was very confident and could send Li Peicheng to the school infirmary with just one leg.

  Of course, in fact, whether or not Li Peicheng can be sent to the school infirmary with one kick depends on the comparison of their strengths.

  "Dr. Liu has also gone back!" Li Peicheng said with a warm smile on his face.

  But in her heart, she secretly sighed, what bad luck, why did her first partner have to be her?

  Liu Zhi's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and an unfamiliar boy was so familiar, greeting her without reason, obviously making the spark in her heart surge again.

  She began to seriously consider the feasibility of splitting her legs, her long and slender legs hidden in black trousers had already begun to feel a bit tight, if Li Peicheng made any further moves, she would not hesitate to give this seemingly sunny toad a kick.

  Suddenly her gaze touched Li Peicheng's hand-held materials, the top one was very familiar to her. Because that was her thesis research proposal.

  Li Peicheng, as the main researcher of this topic, also received a copy from Professor He.

  Recently, Liu Ziyun learned from her supervisor that her collaborator was Ye Yufeng, a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Resource Science. Although she didn't care about things around her, Ye Yufeng had also completed his master's degree under Professor He, so she had some impression of Ye Yufeng's appearance.

  "How did you get this?" Liu Ziyun's face turned even colder as she pointed at the documents in Li Peicheng's hand.

  Liu Zhiyun's voice is nice to listen to, just like the skylark, but it's a bit cold, as if Li Peicheng owed her a lot of money or had been rude to her.

  "Oh, this is what you're referring to?" Li Peicheng's heart skipped a beat, no matter how cold Liu Jiyun's attitude was, this sentence hit the mark.

  Liu Zhiyun nodded slightly.

  "Oh, is that so? Professor He sent me to work with you. Didn't Professor Xiao mention it to you?" Li Peicheng asked.

  "Hey, you two should take your romance outside, we're closing up here!" The uncle who was closing the door shouted half-jokingly at the entrance.

  Let Uncle handle this kind of romantic stuff with Liu Zhiyun! Li Peicheng thought to himself.

  Liu Zhiyun's face turned cold, as if she was about to have an episode.

  Li Peicheng's heart tightened, the demon woman Liu Zhilian was indeed not a name in vain. In his heart, it was really pessimistic and overcast with dark clouds. He cursed Ye Yufeng in his heart, "You damned Ye Yufeng, why did you have to get hurt?"

  "Dr. Liu, let's talk outside!" Li Peicheng hastily said, fearing that Liu Ziyun would really lose her temper.

  Liu Zhiyun nodded and walked out of the teaching building with Li Peicheng.

  "You said Professor He sent you to work with me, isn't it Dr. Ye?" asked Liu Ziyun as they walked out of the teaching building.

  "Dr. Ye was injured, so I'm substituting for him," said Li Peicheng.

  "Oh, I see." Liu Ziyun's expression eased slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart. She thought to herself that he had known all along that they would be working together, no wonder he was smiling at her. It seemed that she had misunderstood him.

  "Oh, right, are you also pursuing a Ph.D. now?" Liu Ziyun asked with some curiosity. On the one hand, it was because Li Peicheng was too unfamiliar, and on the other hand, it was because Li Peicheng looked too young.

  "No, I just graduated from college!" Li Peicheng replied calmly, he didn't think he lost to the Ph.D. student at all.

  Liu Zhiyan's expression changed slightly, and Li Peicheng could see that she was very dissatisfied with her research partner.

  Undergraduate graduates! What Liu Ziyun needs is not someone to help her with trivial matters, but a cooperative partner who can put forward constructive opinions. If so, there would be no need to invite Professor He to participate in this project at all.

  "Hasn't Professor He got anyone else? Why did he send a mere undergraduate like you over here? If the project can't be completed, is he going to take responsibility?" Liu Ziyun asked bluntly.

  Liu Ziyun's prejudice and suspicion of his ability, Li Peicheng thought it was normal, so he didn't get angry. But Li Peicheng felt that he had an obligation to correct Liu Ziyun's subjective misconception.

  "Dr. Liu, I think I have the ability to assist you in completing this project." Li Peicheng said calmly.

  "Is it you? Don't think that reading a few more books can make you do research work, research work is not as simple as you imagine. You are just an undergraduate graduate, I'm sorry but I disagree, I will go find Professor Xiao to express my own views, I suggest you don't waste your time looking at these materials." After throwing down these icy words, Liu Ziyun left behind a beautiful but very cold back view and walked away.

  "Halt!" Li Peicheng said coldly, he was angry.
