Although Qingran and Ruan Ruan were not in the same city, they never lost touch with each other.
Qingran was relatively easygoing and had quite a few friends in the class who could speak on her behalf, but there weren't many she was genuinely close to.
After she approached Xie Ying'an that one time, for a long period afterward, every time Professor Qian from the Physics Department saw her, he looked at her with an expression that seemed to say, "You are quite remarkable."
Which made Qingran feel a bit... uneasy.
Occasionally, Professor Qian would come over to the Biology Department's lab for a visit, but he never again mentioned anything about Qingran changing her major, probably because he didn't come out on top during that last 'verbal battle.'
Whether he wanted to compete for the students' hearts or not, Professor Xu had already started to guard against him everywhere.
