Chapter 83
Yun Xiaolu received the "official itinerary" from Professor Lin the day before their class. Yesterday, when they returned, it was all done quietly, and Professor Lin only received the news in the evening.
"I think it's better not to go looking for Xiaoge recently." Yun Xiaolu felt that going out was not easy to hide from Yun Fan.
"Even if he notices something off, he probably won't ask too many questions." Yun Fan, as a military man bound by secrecy, was likely more familiar with the concept than Yun Xiaolu.
Sure enough, when Yun Xiaolu called Yun Fan's school at noon, he simply asked about her well-being and didn't mention anything about where she had been or what she had been doing.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Xiaolu felt a wave of relief wash over her. It felt good not to have to lie. God knows what kind of nervousness she had been feeling these past two days.
Life at school was not much different from before. Yun Xiaolu still followed the same routine, busy from dawn till dusk. Of course, if you were to say it was exactly the same, that wouldn't be quite accurate. Yun Xiaolu was even busier lately. Professor Gu had given her a list of books, all of which she could borrow from the library. As for the ones the library didn't have, Professor Gu found a way to get them for her.
"I've been quite busy lately. The books on this list should keep you occupied for the year. If you have any questions, come to my office and ask. If I'm not there, you can leave the questions with Professor Lin for him to pass on."
Professor Gu had already made up his mind this time. He had to keep this student in the Power Engineering Department. When he wasn't around, he would have Professor Lin pay extra attention. He couldn't let other departments snatch her away.
"Thank you, Professor." Yun Xiaolu bowed solemnly, holding the list and the books Professor Gu had given her. She knew how precious these books were to the old man.
"Just focus on your studies." Professor Gu felt a bit uneasy being fussed over by his student. He did these things because he believed it was the right thing to do. As long as his students succeeded, he was happy.
Xu Nianyun glanced at the books and sighed inwardly. Professor Gu was truly bringing out his best treasures. It was worth noting that such foreign materials were extremely rare nowadays. While Little Qinyin didn't lack literature to read, she couldn't forget the importance Professor Gu attached to these books.
"Read these books carefully. They're the most valuable reference materials in your field in the country. It's not easy to come by these books nowadays, and for Professor Gu to give them to you, it means he has great expectations for you."
Yun Xiaolu hugged the books tightly. She would definitely read them carefully. In the future, if she had the opportunity, she would also bring back even better materials for the teachers. The research environment would get better and better, and she would make sure they had access to any book they wanted!
Late October in the capital city was a pleasant season with cool autumn weather, free from the stifling heat of summer. In addition to attending classes and going to the library, Yun Xiaolu would take a stroll around the campus after meals to soak in the campus atmosphere.
"This leaf falls as soon as it wants to, but those red maple leaves are beautiful. I wonder if this kind of tree species would thrive at home." Yun Xiaolu looked at the fiery red maple leaves and suddenly felt a longing for the mountains behind her home.
It was also the season for gathering mountain goods. Only her parents were at home this year, and she wasn't sure if they had time to go into the mountains.
