The next day, after reassuring his two roommates that he wouldn't be cosplaying, and while his roommates were at the cafeteria for breakfast, Mo Yu relied on the System to complete all preparations in a short amount of time.
It's worth mentioning that the clothes provided by the System were superior to Mo Yu's custom-made ones in both comfort and authenticity. One could only say—System products are always premium.
Afterward, Mo Yu left the dorm with his lightweight laptop. His specialized course started at ten in the morning, so he still had time to sit in the library before class. Professor Li had also recommended some papers for him to read a few days ago, but he hadn't had the time until now.
As for bringing textbooks to class? Are you kidding? For college students, textbooks are basically just props, usually only used to reserve seats. Although some teachers use textbooks to highlight key points, this was Professor Li's specialized course.
As his disciple, Mo Yu's grades in specialized courses were naturally excellent. Highlighting key points for exams or anything like that... at least, for him, this subject wasn't important.
Learning from his previous experience, Mo Yu chose to wear a mask this time. Of course, the mask was also System-exclusive, embroidered with a plum blossom on a white mask... Well, this wasn't a mask at all! It was a veil.
So, the result, naturally—was counterproductive.
"Are there any activities today?"
At the dorm entrance, the Dorm Auntie asked with a smile. After yesterday's events, she had decided it was impossible not to recognize Mo Yu, after all—even a real young girl wasn't this stunning.
Not to mention, Mo Yu's attire today was not much different from yesterday, just... even more beautiful?
"No, just going to the library to look up some materials."
"Oh, when you go, I'm afraid the children in the library won't be in the mood to read, will they?"
"Probably not, our Pingjiang students are all excellent."
"Hahaha, that's hard to say... Go on, go on, hey—"
The Dorm Auntie waved her hand, turned around, with a feeling of 'the child has grown up, let him be,' but—soon, she turned back around, and in her hand was a phone.
"Come on, let's take a photo."
...
Mo Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he couldn't say anything, and tacitly allowed the Dorm Auntie's actions.
In fact, the Dorm Auntie's teasing was not just teasing, but also a statement of fact. Compared to yesterday, as soon as Mo Yu emerged from the dorm building, he became the focus of the campus.
Due to his inherent characteristics, no one actively came up to take a photo, but others basically took out their phones to photograph him, as if Mo Yu were a big star.
Facing such a scene, a hint of discomfort unconsciously arose in Mo Yu's heart. This discomfort did not originate from himself, but from the character itself. Ruan Mei was not the type of character who liked to show off. She was not socially anxious, nor did she dislike others; rather, she preferred tranquility.
Fortunately, it was only photography.
With the blessing of Absolute Rationality, Mo Yu himself also discarded the anxiety and tension that arose from worrying about his image. In fact, he didn't need any deliberate actions; at this moment, he was completely—beautiful as a painting.
He swiped his card to enter the library, found his reserved seat and sat down, opened his laptop. Similarly, with the blessing of Absolute Rationality, Mo Yu also entered a state of study at light speed.
He was completely unaware that most of the surrounding students were paying attention to him.
Of course, there were also students who didn't care at all, but such students were ultimately in the minority. Before long, various photos of Mo Yu had already spread on the campus forum and in various dorm chat groups, and he was still completely oblivious to all of this.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, until—
Until his phone vibrated.
He unlocked his phone screen, revealing two messages from Green Bubble.
One was from his teacher, Professor Li, and the other was from his second-year graduate senior sister, Xing Qinglan. Since his senior sister's message was on top, he tapped on her message first.
[Little Junior Brother! Help me! The teacher wants me to substitute for your class and highlight key points, but I can't leave because I'm doing an experiment. Can you substitute for me? I'll treat you to a meal later!]
...
Mo Yu frowned, then opened Professor Li's message.
[Xiao Yu, I'm at a conference out of town with your Big Senior Brother. Your class is arranged for your Senior Sister to substitute. She doesn't have much experience, so please help her out a bit.]
It's worth mentioning that Xing Qinglan sent a text, while Professor Li sent a voice message, but Mo Yu chose to convert it to text.
It's normal in college for teachers to arrange for students to substitute classes and highlight key points, because many of the teaching faculty are industry experts. In addition to their daily teaching duties, they also bear heavier research tasks and administrative duties, so when conflicts arise, teaching tasks can only give way.
Of course, for Mo Yu, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The most crucial thing was that his Senior Sister, who was arranged by the teacher to substitute, actually chose to assign this task to him.
Although it was only about highlighting key points and answering course questions, which was not difficult for Mo Yu, this was still a first-time experience for him.
Of course, he could actually refuse his Senior Sister's request.
It's just... putting aside some minor details, this matter was indeed not difficult for Mo Yu. It's just... with his current attire, going to teach his classmates... this is somewhat... Ultimately, Mo Yu still agreed.
[Okay, but I don't have experience either. If I mess it up, I'm not taking the blame.]
[Oh, it's just highlighting key points, no problem. I knew you were the most reliable, Little Junior Brother. Thank you! Senior Sister will take you to do experiments later.]
With words like that, what more could Mo Yu say?
On the other side, in the Laboratory, looking at the message on her phone, Xing Qinglan also breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to focus intently on the instrument in front of her.
In fact, Professor Li had arranged this for her before he left, but she forgot the time and started the equipment for the experiment. If she had to stop because of this, resources would be wasted.
One could only say, it was a blessing in disguise that she had a reliable Little Junior Brother.
Xing Qinglan pondered, estimating the time. If the experiment went smoothly, it seemed she might still make it before class ended to help her Little Junior Brother out?
