People Kept Warning Her To Take Care

Huo Yao noticed something amiss with Yuan Xi while they were at school. Yuan Xi seemed weak, pale, and was not as lively as usual. She put down her book and reached her hand out to hold Yuan Xi's wrist. 0

Yuan Xi was in deep thought but suddenly snapped out of it when Huo Yao grabbed her hand. She raised her head to look at Huo Yao. However, Huo Yao had already pulled her palmback.

"You are so young. Why do you have so many worries?" asked Huo Yao with her head tilted.

Yuan Xi was stunned. She touched her face instantly. "Is it that obvious?"

Huo Yao leaned against her chin with one hand with no intention of answering Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Yao fixedly for some time before she looked down and pondered. How should she word this? She had to tell Huo Yao to watch out for her older brother.

Even though her half-brother was not keen on women, all the women he took an interest in ended up inexplicably vanishing.

Yuan Xi thought about her inadvertent encounter with her brother in the past and touched her forehead powerlessly. She did not know what Yuan Huan meant yesterday. He was clearly unacquainted with Huo Yao.

Yuan Xi went quiet for some time before she finally put down her hand and said, "Erm… The crime rates have been high off late. Since you do not stay on campus, you need to be careful on your way home."

Huo Yao raised her brow and spoke teasingly. "Have you been frowning all day because you wanted to tell me this?"

Then again, why did people keep telling her to take care recently?

Yuan Xi looked into Huo Yao's eyes. It felt as though Huo Yao's eyes were all-seeing. She cleared her throat and said softly, "Just be careful and ignore strangers who try to talk to you."

Huo Yao glanced at Yuan Xi but did not continue probing. Instead, she veered her eyes and continued reading.

Liu Qian had finished writing a detailed research proposal based on the references Zhao Lian had provided him, and went over to show it to Zhao Lian.

However, Zhao Lian was with a guest in the office.

The door was open and Liu Qian initially didn't realize someone was in a room. After knocking on the door, he entered. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a handsome young man sitting on the couch talking to Zhao Lian.

When Liu Qian realized there was someone else in the office, he smiled apologetically. "My bad. I didn't realize you were with a guest. I didn't mean to interrupt."

The moment he finished his sentence, he wanted to turn and leave, but Zhao Lian asked him to stay.

"Excuse me," said Zhao Lian to the man on the couch before he stood up and walked over to Liu Qian. "Yes?"

Liu Qian waved the research proposal in his hand as he looked at Zhao Lian and said, "I have already come up with a detailed proposal based on the references you gave me."

Zhao Lian was caught by surprise. "Already? Let me take a look."

Liu Qian handed Zhao Lian the research proposal. "I simply wanted to come up with the research direction as soon as possible. Why don't you take a look at this and let me know if it works? Otherwise, I can look into it further."

Zhao Lian nodded. He skimmed through the research proposal and said, "Artificial Life systems are going to be a future trend. Although there is a slight overlap with Artificial Intelligence, the future development of AL would lean towards simulation research. Your proposal was prepared in great detail, so I think it is doable."

Initially, Liu Qian felt worried about his research proposal, but he exhaled slightly in relief now.

Zhao Lian was the most reputable professor in the university, so his feedback meant a lot. Since he said the research proposal was good, he meant it.

"We just need students who are good with computers. Perhaps you can select PhD students from your division with strong computer skills." Zhao Lian paused before he continued.
