Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 225 - 107: Presenting Roses, Hands Retain Fragrance_5

Qiao Yu nodded silently, looking at Senior Brother Chen who was almost bald, he rarely felt a twinge of sympathy.

But he couldn’t muster any empathy, because he still didn’t understand why he couldn’t comprehend it. Isn’t it something you can understand just by having a brain?

But you can’t say Senior Brother Chen has no brains, right? After all, he’s a PhD student at the Mathematics Research Center and a student of Director Tian...

"Ahem, um, Senior Brother Chen, you didn’t do your undergrad at Yanbei University, did you?" Facing the senior brother on the verge of an emotional breakdown, Qiao Yu cautiously probed.

"Hmm, I did my undergraduate at Coastal Jiao Da, first got into the master’s program at Yanbei Mathematics Institute, and then got into the research center’s PhD program. I felt really lucky at the time, becoming Director Tian’s student. But now... sigh..." Chen Zhuoyang sighed and answered honestly.

So maybe this senior brother was delayed at a not-so-great university during his development period?

No, Coastal Jiao Da is okay too, it was once one of the legendary Nine Schools Alliance.

"Oh, alright, next time there’s a chance, I’ll definitely suggest it to the teacher for you."

"Thank you, junior brother."

"No problem. By the way, wait until you finish your PhD paper, show it to me first, I’ll help edit it. Honestly, I’m quite good at editing papers, to avoid your paper being submitted directly and making Director Tian mad. That would be hard to fix later."

Qiao Yu decided to help this suffering senior brother, to get him out of the quagmire soon.

Mainly for his own sake too, he felt that Senior Brother Chen’s emotions were indeed quite unstable, and crucially, his office was just upstairs.

Of course, he could also sell a favor in the process, which wasn’t bad.

"Um... sure, I’ll let you see it after I finish writing." Chen Zhuoyang said, blushing, as he really couldn’t bring himself to say thank you.

Feeling the senior brother’s somewhat strange tone, Qiao Yu suddenly realized he was the junior brother here. He had been thinking that since he couldn’t understand the senior brother’s paper, there was no problem in pointing out some errors, but emotionally, it was indeed not easy for the senior brother to accept.

The senior brother must think he was too presumptuous.

Fortunately, it didn’t matter. Once Qiao Yu realized this, he immediately found a solution and added: "Haha, senior brother, don’t misunderstand, think of it this way, even if I can’t help with your paper, I have a good relationship with the elder across the hall.

When the time comes, I’ll secretly show your graduation paper to the elder and ask him to give you some advice, maybe even help revise it. Even if he’s busy, he can arrange for a capable professor to help, you know?"

After saying this, Qiao Yu imitated an adult and patted Chen Zhuoyang on the shoulder.

With one sentence, Chen Zhuoyang’s eyes were opened, and the little bit of awkwardness and dissatisfaction vanished instantly, making him excited.

"Junior brother, thank you so much! How about this, if there’s anything you’re not happy with regarding living here, just let me know, there’s no need to always trouble the teacher. Actually, being a teacher in that position, there’re some things you can’t really favor, but it’s different between us brothers, you know."

Chen Zhuoyang immediately said.

"Okay, then I’ll thank you in advance, senior brother. Hmm, right, actually, life here is fine. The only thing is, when I wash my face in the morning, the water feels a bit too cold."

"You should have said earlier. I’ll find a way to coordinate a solar water heater for this building tomorrow, and I guarantee the toilet will have hot water by the end of the week at the latest."

"Alright, thank you, senior brother! Here we are, you should hurry up and get your paper."

"Alright, you go on to study, remember to speak up about any life issues, senior brother will handle it for you."

Watching his senior brother energetically dash up the stairs, Qiao Yu took out his keys from his pocket and entered his room.

So many feelings, maybe this is what they mean by giving a rose and keeping the fragrance on your hand? But he thought his senior brother’s change was too fast and awkward, not smooth enough. If it were him, he definitely wouldn’t be so eager to show happiness and offer favors so soon... Guess he’s been at school too long!

But back in the room, sitting at his desk, looking at the computer and printer, Qiao Yu fell into deep thought again.

He really couldn’t understand why a fellow student of Director Tian couldn’t understand Schulz’s paper. Is it really that difficult?

Even though he had been hanging around Class Thirteen for a long time and knew some classmates really struggled with thinking, but the senior brother was clearly different from his classmates in Class Thirteen. Being able to get into Coastal Jiao Da, he must have ranked in the top hundred in a key high school in Star City.

After pondering for a moment, he gave up. He took out his phone and called Qiao Xi, after all, he had been here for two days, and had recognized a grandpa today, and should let his mom know.

Alright, mainly he missed his mom a little, no matter how strong he appeared outside, he was still just a fifteen-year-old kid.

The call quickly connected, and Qiao Xi’s signature lazy voice made him feel warm.

"Hey, kid."

"Hi, mom."

"Not bad, you remembered to call me. I’ve been seeing videos lately saying that after kids go to university, they’re like kites let loose, they don’t remember they have a home unless you tug on them. I figured you’re not short of money, so I couldn’t even pull you back."

"Who is so irresponsible? They can post all sorts of nonsense videos! Besides, am I that kind of person? By the way, I have to tell you something, I recognized a grandpa today, and he’s amazing!"
