Wen Li did not reply to Huo Yuanchen's message.

She felt that no matter who she was with, it had nothing to do with Huo Yuanchen.

They had been strangers for a long time.

But he quickly sent another message, saying, "You and him are progressing too fast, aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives?"

Wen Li's anger suddenly rose. She typed quickly and replied to him, "I am an adult. It is not Professor Huo's turn to control me no matter who I am with. You should focus more on your good sister. After all, she is still a child in her twenties and needs your concern as a brother."

Huo Yuanchen replied ten minutes later, saying, "I don't want to control you, nor do I want to quarrel with you. I just want to remind you as a friend that Cheng Yang is not some love-brained rich second-generation. Don't be fooled by him."

Wen Li stared at his phone for a long time, his anger only growing.

What he meant by this was that she was stupid. He had been looking down on her intelligence for a long time.

Wen Li replied, "Professor Huo, you are overthinking. I just treat Cheng Yang as my brother. He is still a child. How could he have any bad intentions?"

Soon, Huo Yuanchen finally shut up and sent a message, "Whatever you want."

So he ignored her.

Huo Yuanchen was quite angry at Wen Li's attitude, and he didn't want to care about her anymore. He felt that Wen Li was a stubborn woman, and she would never learn her lesson unless she suffered a little.

But the next day when he went to work, Yu Jingchen also came to see him and asked him curiously , "Is Wen Li in love?"

He didn't say anything, just glanced at the other person coldly and continued to read the experimental reports submitted by the students.

Yu Jingchen didn't care about his attitude and continued in a frivolous tone, "Is Wen Li really dating that male celebrity? I thought the rumors online were all made up by netizens."

Huo Yuanchen continued to ignore him.

He sighed in a condescending manner and said depressedly, "Is it true that younger brothers are more attractive? The world has changed, and people's hearts are no longer the same. I remember when I was in middle school, the so-called uncle love was very popular. My female classmates all said that older people are more attractive and considerate. I have finally reached a mature age, so why is the sister-brother love popular again?"

Zhou Ying happened to come over to deliver meeting materials to them. Upon hearing this, she asked, "Professor Yu, how old were you when older-uncle romances were popular?"

Yu Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "About fourteen or fifteen years old."

Zhou Ying sneered and said, "The so-called uncle at that age is just a man in his early twenties. You see, our preferences as women are always the same. When we were young, we liked men in their early twenties, and now we still like men in their early twenties. What's wrong with that?"

Yu Jingchen smiled and said, "A man in his early twenties is still a young boy, what's so good about him?"

Zhou Ying said, "A good face and a healthy body are enough."

After that, he handed the materials to them and said, "Two professors, don't forget to submit your work plan for the new school year, as well as your college's publicity plan for the new school year."

Turned around and left.

Yu Jingchen flipped through the materials in his hand, smiled and said to Huo Yuanchen, "Don't you think Professor Zhou is getting more and more interesting? You said that she and Wen Li are worthy of being best friends. They both have such bad tempers."

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyelids and looked at him coldly, "Do you like women with bad tempers?"

Yu Jingchen smiled and said, "Didn't you tolerate Wen Li's temper? Don't you think it's fun when you guys are arguing?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at him like an idiot for a long time before saying, "Take some time to go to the hospital and have your brain checked."

Yu Jingchen didn't take it seriously and continued to tell him, "Wen Li, your new boyfriend, seems to be very popular recently. Several students in my teaching and research department are his fans. They got together to chat about him yesterday. If they knew that their idol's girlfriend is your ex-girlfriend, Professor Huo, they would definitely be shocked."

Then she said, "I heard from Zhou Ying that Wen Li didn't worry at all during her trip. It was all arranged by her boyfriend. He has good photography skills and bought a lot of gifts locally and sent them back. Wen Li's relatives and friends were not left out at all. Is this the charm of a young brother? Ask yourself, I can't do this. Let alone other things, I don't have the energy to arrange the itinerary, not to mention remembering all the other party's relatives and friends. Alas, I'm old and my memory is not as good as before. Does Professor Huo have such troubles?"

Huo Yuanchen couldn't stand his nagging and drove him out of his office. "If you have nothing to do, you can go and clean up the yard."

In the afternoon, when Li Hong came to discuss the opening report with him, he pointed to one of the selected topics and asked, "You haven't studied this direction before, why do you list it here?"

Li Hong was surprised and explained, "This is the advice you gave me last time when we had dinner together. You said that this direction might be a future research trend and asked me to pay attention to it."

Huo Yuanchen thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, I forgot for a moment. Then you can list it."

When Li Hong was leaving, he suddenly stopped her and asked, "You have been in my teaching and research department for four or five years. What do you think of my memory recently? Is it not as good as before?"

Li Hong said awkwardly, "Professor, you are too busy. You don't need to worry about some trivial matters."

Huo Yuanchen waved her off and said , "We who are doing research in this area should not be afraid to seek medical treatment. At my age now, my memory is indeed not as good as it was when I was twenty years old."

Of course, it also includes energy and physical strength.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed as if he was really outshined by Cheng Yang.

In the past few days, the students in the teaching and research department noticed that their professor Huo was not in a good mood. They did not dare to ask Huo Yuanchen, so they went to An Wen to ask.

After all, An Wen was the student who was treated most kindly by Professor Huo among their group.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the person who came to ask the question said a word, An Wen lay down on the table and cried breathlessly.

Everyone in the teaching and research section was shocked and came over to comfort her, saying, "Junior sister An Wen, have you encountered any difficulties? If anyone bullies you, just tell us, the senior brothers and sisters will support you."

No matter what others said, An Wen just kept crying. After a long while, she sobbed and said, "I'm sorry to have made everyone worried. I didn't encounter any difficulties, and no one bullied me. It's my fault. I made Brother Yuanchen angry."

Others felt relieved and said, "It's good that you are alright."

An Wen continued to blame herself, "Brother Yuanchen has been in a bad mood these days because I had a quarrel with him. On the first day of school, he took me out to dinner to celebrate my successful admission to school, but I lost my temper with him because he didn't choose the restaurant I liked. Although he didn't say anything to me, I knew he was angry with me. It's all my fault, all my fault."

After she finished speaking, she wiped her tears, stood up and ran outside.

It was too late for others to pull her away.

She stopped Huo Yuanchen in the corridor as he was going to a meeting, and in front of several students, she opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Brother Yuanchen, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
