This noon, Li Zheng, with great reluctance, still let Gu Jianfeng go with Shen Yuecen.
Although Gu Jianfeng didn't explicitly state whom she would follow next, from her demeanor and expressions it was evident that Shen Yuecen's private mathematics research office was markedly more appealing to her. As for Li Zheng's shared basement, it always had an aura of fear, although it might be barely acceptable if Lin Yujing was the only one there.
After agreeing on future contact methods, Li Zheng had no choice but to say goodbye to Gu Jianfeng, while enduring Shen Yuecen's contemptuous smile.
Perhaps, the world of mathematics really is better suited to solitarity.
Forget it, let Feng Bao'er fly freely, with Father Zheng always by her side.
...
So, with empty hands, Li Zheng returned to the college basement, utterly humiliated.
