Chapter 232: Chapter 231: Gua Gua

Xia Yue followed Professor Hao and picked many cucumbers and cherry tomatoes from their fields.

Then they carried a watermelon together to the yard of their research room.

"Those three old guys are probably in the laboratory. You go call them while I wash and cut these fruits." Professor Hao said to Xia Yue with a smile.

"Professor Hao, let me do the washing. You can go and call the other professors since you are familiar with them. Even if you guys start to argue, it’s okay. I won’t feel comfortable knocking on other’s rooms." Xia Yue immediately took over the basket of cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and shook her head as she spoke to Professor Hao.

"Alright then, you can find plates, a faucet, and some cutting tools in the small kitchen over there." Professor Hao thought for a moment and realized it would not be appropriate for her to interrupt the old guys’ experiments. Due to his friendly relations with them, an interruption wouldn’t be an issue. He agreed to Xia Yue’s request.

Xia Yue immediately went to the small kitchen in the yard with the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers, and then came out to bring the watermelon in.

Professor Hao then knocked at the laboratories of Professors Yuan, Luo, and Chen, inviting them to enjoy the fruit. He also informed them that Xia Yue was visiting.

At first, the professors intended to scold whoever interrupted their experiments when they opened the door. However, when they heard that Xia Yue had come, they swallowed their rebukes and tidied up their laboratory and clothes before heading to the pavilion in the yard.

Upon arriving and seeing only Professor Hao, they approached him, furrowed their brows, and with a displeased tone asked, "Didn’t you say Xia Yue is here? Where is she? And where’s the fruit? Are you making a fool of us?"

"She’s in the small kitchen cutting the watermelon, washing cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. She’ll be out soon. Please have a seat and rest for a while," Professor Hao said to them.

"Old Hao, aren’t you something? Why didn’t you help? How can you let the poor girl do all the work alone? This yard is ours for now, how can we sit here and have her serving us?" Professor Yuan said and walked towards the small kitchen.

"She said she didn’t need my help," Professor Hao quickly explained.

"Just because she was being polite doesn’t mean you had to take her literally," Professor Luo commented as he sat down.

Since Professor Yuan already went to help, they decided not to intrude and make things awkward.

"Exactly, Hao, you really lack emotional intelligence," said Professor Chen as he also took a seat.

"Both of you shut up," Professor Hao retorted in displeasure.

In the small kitchen.

Xia Yue was about to cut the watermelon, but she was hesitant about where to cut. If she cut too little, it might not be enough. If she cut too much and it couldn’t be finished, it would go to waste which isn’t good either.

"Xia Yue," Professor Yuan walked in, saw her predicament, and called her name.

Xia Yue was taken aback by the sound and then instantly looked over. Upon seeing it was Professor Yuan, she sighed in relief and said with a smile, "Professor Yuan, it’s been a while! What brings you here? Did you come to get something?"

"I came to help you. Where do you need my assistance?" Professor Yuan asked with a gentle smile.

"No need, no need, I can handle it. You can go back and wait with Professor Hao for the food," Xia Yue immediately responded.

"No worries. Are you cutting the watermelon?" Professor Yuan asked with a smile, noticing the knife in her hand and the watermelon in front of her.

"Yes, I was contemplating how much I should cut. This watermelon is too large, and I don’t think we can finish it, especially with the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes." Xia Yue nodded and spoke honestly.
