Chapter 852: Chapter 852: He Caught Bai Chuwei’s Weakness

Bai Chuwei turned her head, her eyes brimming with a smile that landed on him. Xu Xingchen was so scared that his legs went weak, and he quickly averted his gaze with a pale face.

"Don’t... don’t look at him like that."

The experts were utterly indifferent to the romantic lives of young people. The hot-tempered Professor Ge was especially affectionate, grabbing Bai Chuwei’s arm with one hand, "Bai student, let’s go, let’s go, we’ll go back and talk about archaeology!"

Everyone was taken aback, knowing that just yesterday in the meeting room, Professor Ge had been infuriated by Bai Chuwei.

The archaeology team left the teaching building directly, leaving He Feng alone and dazed on the spot.

He Feng, still in a daze even when his cousin He Ye nudged him, had his mind filled with Bai Chuwei saying she had joined the international class for his sake.

He Ye and He Yue looked at him with suspicion, "Feng brother, what was that expression just now? You’re not in an early romance, are you?"

He Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and feigned calm, "Don’t talk nonsense."

His family strictly forbade dating in the senior year of high school, but what if the person was Bai Chuwei?

After all, there was already a group of parents on social media saying that if their son’s early romance was with Bai Chuwei, they would support it with both hands and feet!

Presumably, his grandmother and sister would say nothing if they knew, right?

Thinking of this, He Feng felt quite pleased with himself.

By noon, the winter sun was blazing. Over a hundred archaeologists had gone to the canteen for lunch.

Bai Chuwei was surrounded by a group of experts, with Professor Sun sitting on one side and Professor Ge on the other.

Professor Ge, smiling and squinting, was using the serving chopsticks to madly pile food onto Bai Chuwei’s plate, "Come, come, little Bai student, eat more, you young people should eat more meat!"

"This fish also tastes very good, the flesh is very tender, delicious."

"This chicken tastes good too... Zhou Nan, what are you doing?!"

Zhou Nan, upon being called out by his own professor, twitched his chopsticks and looked bewilderedly at the furious Professor Ge, "I... I’m serving chicken legs and wings to the professors..."

Senior Zhou Nan felt somewhat wronged; he hadn’t intended to eat for himself, he was serving all the older professors.

Professor Ge righteously declared, "Serve your junior Bai!"

Zhou Nan: "...Oh, okay."

Bai Chuwei laughed, "Professors, you don’t have to do this. You are all talents in the field of archaeology, and I don’t want anything to happen to you in the tombs."

"That’s not how we should put it. It’s all thanks to you... oh, and also to Xu Xingchen! If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, who knows what might have happened down there," said Professor Ge, waving his hand.

Everyone’s gaze turned in unison towards Xu Xingchen in the corner, who couldn’t help but sit up straight.

Professor Ge proposed to the A University archaeology professor, "Young Xu’s quick response saved us, we must award him an outstanding certificate later on."

This was an award certificate endorsed by several big names in the field of archaeology. With this certificate, securing a job at any renowned museum after graduation would be no trouble at all!

Upon hearing this, many people in the room showed envious expressions.

This young Xu was impressive indeed. Even PhD students hadn’t received such an award!

Bai Chuwei watched in amazement. Indeed, he was a favored son of Heavenly Dao. With his old ancestors here, he managed to show off despite the tight spot!

And he’d earned himself an award certificate, as well as recognition in front of all the well-known archaeological team members.

Xu Xingchen sat in the corner eating his food, an involuntary smirk of satisfaction appearing on his lips.

His trip to the dig site really hadn’t been a mistake!

Not only had he garnered the appreciation of various professors, but he had also... caught Bai Chuwei in a compromising position...

Bai Chuwei, that fickle woman, had been cozy with his nominal uncle, and here she was, canoodling with high school boys in Zhongzhou, ha.
