Chapter 61 How Can You Not Show Respect?

Because she had run too urgently, and there were several circular steps outside the library, Xie Yujia almost fell into Hao Ren's arms due to stepping on empty space.

She barely managed to steady herself. Her face was flushed from running hastily, and she panted without catching her breath, "You... You're heading back to the dormitory"

"Hm What’s wrong" Hao Ren looked at her in puzzlement.

"I... I’m also going to the residential area," Xie Yujia paused for half a second before speaking.

"Oh, then let's walk together." Hao Ren still had an expression of innocence and bewilderment on his face.

"My bike is over there. Wait for me a moment." Xie Yujia held her books and notebooks, walked to the parking area on the right side of the library, put her belongings in the basket, unlocked her bicycle, and then wheeled it over.

She wore a white sweatshirt with half-new and half-old bicycle, paired with denim shorts and olive-green canvas shoes. This outfit made Xie Yujia look youthful yet simple.

Hao Ren imagined what the concept of "campus beauty" or even "campus queen" should be like: someone looking exactly like her, not like Lin Li from Class 3 who was overly adorned.

Seeing Hao Ren staring at her, Xie Yujia blushed slightly and said to him, “Let's go."

"Sure," Hao Ren walked beside her. They passed through the open space in front of the library and crossed over a flat bridge by the campus lake.

With bright sunshine, the bicycle wheels made a steady ticking sound as they slowly turned. After walking silently for several meters, Xie Yujia suddenly asked, "How’s your grandma"

"It's all good now," H郝仁 thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Xie Yujia lowered her head, silent for a few seconds before asking again, "What exactly is your relationship with Su Han"

Her fair arms were pushing the handlebars of the bicycle. Her waist was slightly tilted to one side, making her entire body appear soft and upright.

"She's my distant cousin," H郝仁 answered stiffly. To be honest, he wouldn't believe such an answer himself.

"On that Thursday, I saw you enter her office," Xie Yujia said.

H郝仁 turned to look at her and realized it was actually Xie Yujia who had been following him. He quickly came up with a reason, "Oh... there were some things about the course material that I didn't understand, so I went to ask her."

"So she's giving you private lessons," Xie Yujia said immediately.

"Haha." H郝仁 chuckled. What she said wasn't entirely wrong; it was just not about the course material but rather spiritual cultivation tutoring.

"Is there anything else you want to ask" Seeing that Xie Yujia had fallen silent again, H郝仁 asked proactively.

"No." Xie Yujia shook her head.

Looking at her clean face as pure and innocent as a white radish, H郝仁 suddenly found his beautiful class monitor quite interesting.

The two continued walking side by side. Although Xie Yujia had a bicycle and the questions were already answered, she didn't seem eager to ride away just yet.

"Warmly welcoming the world-renowned biologist Hao Zhonghua and globally recognized climate scientist Professor Yue Yang to our school for a science lecture!"

A red banner hung above Shanming Canteen caught their attention.

The Shanming Canteen is a must-pass location on the way from off-campus dormitories to teaching areas. The banner was identical to one at the main entrance of the school, intended to draw more students' attention to this event.

Xie Yujia looked up at the banner and started talking, "I didn't expect that our school could invite such famous people for a lecture."

"Oh, do you know them" Hao Ren appeared somewhat surprised.

Seeing Hao Ren's expression, Xie Yujia immediately said, "How can I not know Hao Zhonghua is China’s most renowned biologist. Domestic media say he has the best chance of winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His paper on gene transcription was published in Nature magazine in America. He also has other projects, but I don't remember their names. In any case, even foreign media highly praise him…"

Speaking about this so-called greatest contemporary Chinese biologist’s international reputation, Xie Yujia spoke enthusiastically. However, to say she knew everything about it would be a stretch since she couldn’t recall the names of his scientific projects.

Seeing Hao Ren's confused expression, Xie Yujia felt like talking to someone who didn't understand, and she became irritated, "He is one of China’s top scientists, quite young at only in his forties. His papers appear frequently in various science magazines, even the news often mentions him; how come you've never heard about him"

Seeing her frown with a serious expression like a teacher scolding students, Hao Ren couldn't help but laugh.

"You boys spend all day playing games and browsing computers or staying in your dorms watching movies and reading manga. You don’t care about what’s happening around you; sooner or later, the world will leave you behind!" Xie Yujia said sternly, crossing her arms.

Seeing she had elevated the issue to this level, Hao Ren could only capitulate, "Alright, alright, I remember his name now."

"That's right!" Only then was Xie Yujia satisfied. "How can you not know such a famous scientist Besides, he’s related to you!"

"Our family" Hao Ren was a bit puzzled.

"Yes, you both have the surname Hao. Three hundred years ago, your families were one!" Xie Yujia stared at Hao Ren and said.

Hao Ren smiled. "Alright, alright,班長說的對。原來班長是這個郝中華的粉絲啊，真是看不出來啊。”

"Show more respect! He’s the most famous scientist in China!" Xie Yujia took on a lecturing tone again.

"Okay, okay…" A good man doesn’t quarrel with women; Hao Ren wouldn't fight with his class monitor either. So he continued to yield, "So you’re definitely attending the lecture this Thursday"

"Of course! And it’s not just him coming alone, but also his wife! For us undergraduates, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Professor Hao and his wife are usually busy with research and rarely make public appearances. The school must have paid a hefty price to get them here for the lecture! Even PhD students might not have the chance to meet them!"

As Xie Yujia spoke, she became increasingly excited. As an all-around excellent student since childhood, and as a female studying a science field, it was可想而知她對科學家的敬仰。

Of course, even students who had no interest in scientific research would go to the auditorium that day just for the名氣 of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang.

Xie Yujia continued her walk while giving Hao Ren a科普,"Hao Zhonghua was already an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences when he was in his forties. His wife, Yue Yang, is also very accomplished; she’s an academician of the Chinese Engineering Academy. Some people say that together they make two academicians, while others believe both could individually earn such titles but are too young to receive them…"

Hao Ren listened to Xie Yujia's科普as if hearing some gossip, and couldn't help smiling at her earnest attitude.

By the end of her explanation, when she saw that Hao Ren still had a smile on his face without any expression of awe, she truly became angry. "You! You don’t even have basic respect for such great scientists!"

Hao Ren was about to defend himself when suddenly his phone in his pocket started vibrating with a soft buzzing sound.Hao Ren retracted his legs and coughed twice before carefully holding onto Xie Yujia's waist. It wasn't that he didn't want to grab the seat, rather it was too high for him to reach without hitting he...
