Luo Nan's mood was indescribable in a short dozen or so seconds.
Tian Si spoke of matters that were closely related to his family, but the information, the names, and the concepts were all so unfamiliar.
It was like he was in a dream. He strove to merge into it, but he was always lacking a bit. He could only do his utmost to memorize, afraid of missing a single word. He would completely dissipate when he woke up from the dream.
He waited for Tian Si to stop talking, but he still wanted to continue. He subconsciously reached out and touched the protective glass between the viewing platform and the crystal pillar. He used the ice-cold sensation to make his mind a bit clearer, and he confirmed that Tian Si's words just now were not forgotten in the slightest.
Perhaps his reaction was strange, but Tian Si was a bit puzzled.
"Junior Nan?"
Luo Nan really wanted to tell her, "Tell me a bit more," but the words changed when they reached his mouth. "They graduated twenty years ago, right? Senior Sister Tian actually knows about them?"
Tian Si's eyelids drooped slightly, and she revealed a gentle smile. "After all, many years have passed. It would be a lie to say that I have a deep impression of them. But as long as I look up some information, many things will appear before my eyes. However, I've heard that when it comes to architectural philosophy and aesthetics, some old professors will always use 'Gear' as an example. Senior Sister Qingwen's name has always resounded. "
Luo Nan forced a smile. "Is that so?"
"In comparison, I admire Senior Zhongheng more. After all, I study industrial design, and Senior Zhongheng's theoretical knowledge is a bit stronger. Many of his research conclusions aren't outdated even now, including some conceptual product designs. They can be used at any time, saving me quite a bit of effort."
Tian Si had clearly studied the information diligently. She spoke without thinking, and there was evidence to support her words. But what made Luo Nan feel awkward was that the more she spoke like this, the more confused he became. He didn't even know how to respond.
His hesitation caused a gap to appear in the atmosphere of a coherent conversation. This gave a certain person an opportunity.
"Sisi."
The young doctor who had been observing from the back all this time walked over with quick steps. His movements were very urgent, and he rudely stood between Luo Nan and Tian Si, using his shoulder to block Luo Nan's line of sight.
"Sisi, you made it easy for me to find you."
Luo Nan's brows furrowed. His fingers pressed against the protective glass. He had a bad feeling. He roughly understood why Tian Si could not wait to avoid this rather handsome "young doctor." Such a temperament and behavior were a waste of his good looks.
Even the elites of the five schools were so unreliable?
Luo Nan's mood turned very bad. He didn't want to get involved in this melodramatic matter, but the vast majority of what Tian Si had said was what he urgently wanted to hear, what he wanted to memorize.
Tian Si had said that she had looked up a lot of relevant information for her graduation project. How could it be only this little? There must be a lot more in her stomach, but after the rush, it wouldn't be easy to fill it up.
Luo Nan stared ahead at the spine wrapped in a white coat. He took a deep breath, but he was unable to suppress his fidgety mood.
"President Ju." Tian Si hugged the drawing folder and crossed her arms over her chest. She took half a step back. Her body language was very distant, and she didn't even pretend to speak. Based on her usual smooth style, this performance was about to reach her limit.
Unfortunately, President Ju didn't sense this at all. Or perhaps he did sense it, but he didn't care. His body leaned forward, once again closing the distance between him and Tian Si. He used the tone of a host to speak, "Sisi, the party is about to officially begin. I solemnly invite you to pair up with me …."
Tian Si really couldn't take it anymore. She took another step back and stuck half of her body out. She extended her hand toward Luo Nan, forcefully diverting President Ju's attention. "Let me introduce you guys. This is President Ju Maoxun of the Cloud City Business School's Elite Society. This is my junior, Luo Nan. "
Ju Maoxun was very dissatisfied with Tian Si's body language, and he didn't like Luo Nan at all …. Well, he was already in a bad mood when he saw Luo Nan and Tian Si conversing and laughing two minutes ago. He had long since decided on a plan in his mind.
Bullying juniors was no pressure for him. They were rookies, after all. Rookies were meant to be bullied.
Ju Maoxun was pondering over how to give the little boy in front of him, who had yet to shed his fetal hair, a deep impression. On the other side, Tian Si did something that made him fly into a rage. This petite, gentle, and beautiful girl directly bypassed him to walk over to Luo Nan's side. She even hooked her arm around the little boy's.
"Apologies, President Ju. I just promised Junior Nan that I would bring him along tonight …. Junior Nan just arrived at the school not too long ago. This is his first time participating in this sort of activity. He's still scratching his head."
Tian Si seemed to feel that the action of hooking her arm was a bit too intimate. She let go and patted Luo Nan on the shoulder. She was older than Luo Nan by six or seven years, but she was a bit shorter in stature. Patting her like this was a bit humorous and pretentious.
In this way, it had nothing to do with the feelings between a man and a woman.
Tian Si's series of actions caused Ju Maoxun's expression to fluctuate between clear and dark. He was unable to fathom her relationship with Luo Nan. Naturally, he was quite angry in his heart after being refused by Tian Si. However, if this was really a senior sister looking after her junior brother, then he would forcefully interfere. Things would really get out of hand, and he would lose a bit of face.
Oh, hold on. He had observed Tian Si and Luo Nan from beginning to end from the moment they met. Since when did Luo Nan have a pleading expression?
Motherf * cker! You're playing me for a fool!
Ju Maoxun's temperament had always been tyrannical. He had the nickname of the Butcher in the Cloud City School of Business. This time, he had played the role of a doctor, which was an irony to this nickname. Today, he had hesitated for a few minutes and pondered a few more steps. This was already because he saw that Tian Si had a superior that he couldn't afford to offend. Now that the flames of anger had rushed forth, he didn't care a fart.
He suddenly took a step forward, gritting his teeth and laughing out of habit. The muscles on both sides of his handsome cheeks pulsed, instantly becoming fierce and malevolent. At the same time, he grabbed the collar of Luo Nan's white coat.
Ju Maoxun was nearly a head taller than Luo Nan. His arms and legs were longer. He reached out, and the little rookie was stupefied. He didn't react at all.
It would be far too eye-catching to grab Luo Nan by the collar and threaten him in a public place. Ju Maoxun was an experienced character in this field. Though he grabbed fiercely, he was actually just grabbing the corner of Luo Nan's collar. He shook and shook, exerting a bit of force, letting the inside of Luo Nan's collar rub against Luo Nan's neck.
"Junior Brother Luo, right? To be able to dress the same way as you is also fate. Today, we get to know each other. I will remember you well. Don't doubt me. My memory has always been quite good. I won't forget any face. Raise your head! Don't be like a girl! "
The vicious voice commanded Luo Nan to raise his head. At the same time, he used an exceptionally vicious gaze to stab Luo Nan. "Senior's teachings are enough for you to enjoy for ten years. You can't even say thank you..."
The voice came to a sudden stop.
Luo Nan raised his head and locked gazes with Ju Maoxun. He looked into Ju Maoxun's eyes. His eyes went from vicious to scattered, and then from scattered to vacant.
All of these changes actually happened in an instant.
Luo Nan gently removed Ju Maoxun's stiff hand. Ju Maoxun was like a soulless puppet. His joints were all rusted away. Luo Nan frowned and increased his strength, causing Ju Maoxun to stagger backward.
Ju Maoxun instantly came back to his senses. It was as if he had touched a viper with his outstretched hand. He suddenly pulled it back and even struck his own chest, hammering him until he grunted. He woke up a bit and wanted to get angry again, but his heart trembled when he saw Luo Nan's gaze. He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He just turned around and walked away.
Ju Maoxun walked far away, and he became a bit more clear-headed. He turned his head, wanting to come back, but he didn't have the courage. He could only extend his hand and point at Luo Nan. In the end, he left hatefully.
Tian Si, who stood to the side, looked like she was watching an absurd play. She was unable to discern any logic from the beginning to the end. It was as if the boorish and troublesome Ju Maoxun had been possessed. He inexplicably dispersed his ferocity and walked away with his tail between his legs.
What did Luo Nan do during this time?
Tian Si only came back to her senses after being stunned for a full five seconds. She hastily apologized to Luo Nan. "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Luo. Just now, I was..."
"Senior Sister is very popular."
Luo Nan didn't wish for the topic to stray too far. He spoke a few polite words, and then he didn't continue. He hoped that Tian Si would continue to talk about matters related to his mother. It would be fine even if she added 'that person'.
However, Tian Si's mood was still affected by this matter. Her eyes drooped in a daze for a moment, and she looked at the trembling water within the crystal pillar. She suddenly sighed with emotion. "The scenery of the crystal pillar looks like a dream from afar. But when you look at it too much, it's nothing more than this... Just like this person. He looks limitless on the surface, but he's actually quite unbearable."
Luo Nan didn't respond. He didn't hear the information he wanted to hear. He wasn't interested in Tian Si's situation or her state of mind. He just felt vexed in his heart.
For the sake of calming his mood, he imitated Tian Si and looked at the ripples within the crystal pillar.
Luo Nan's heart lantern of the eyes orifice had yet to reach the realm of small success over the past few days of cultivation, but his gaze had become much sharper. He saw that the swaying seawater had more or less returned to its original color when it approached the crystal pillar. However, it wasn't particularly clear. Fine impurities seeped within, undulating and floating.
Upon closer inspection, the vast majority of the impurities were the shedding, fragmented body tissues, and excrement of sea creatures.
Luo Nan's gaze extended into the distance, and he saw shoals of fish stirring within the deep waters. The beautiful colors of nature attracted the visiting tourists to take pictures. Very few people thought that the impurities in the water originated from this place.
There was a considerable portion of the impurities inside, and it was left behind by a crude predator like the devil ray.
It looked dirty and messy, but there was an old saying: There are no fish when the water is too clear. There were also microorganisms, algae, and small fish and shrimp that surrounded the impurities in the marine ecosphere. These links formed one after another, connecting head to tail. They formed a tight and indispensable chain.
If a link was missing and there was no competent human intervention, the consequences would never be too good.
Luo Nan sighed when he thought of this. He faintly felt that this was quite similar to the difficult problem he was facing in his cultivation. However, his brain had long since been divided into two halves when he delved deeper into it. He was unable to think of anything, and his mood became even worse.
He didn't want to beat around the bush in his vexation. He was prepared to go straight to the point and ask this senior sister to tell him everything she knew.
Tian Si found a new connection point amidst her sorrow at this time. She suddenly turned her face around, and her delicate and charming face recovered its usual smile.
