Because the knowledge base in the first and second years of university isn't broad enough, early attention from advisors, like what Qingran and Xie Ying'an received, always means being busier than other students.
Most of the time, they are so busy that they don't even have time for themselves.
But Qingran noticed that by the third year, this situation suddenly got much better.
With senior students from the fourth year gradually leaving the lab at the start of the third year, Professor Xu began scouting for students in various classes again.
Qingran felt that the efforts of the first two years finally paid off in the third year; after mastering various professional knowledge, she was much more leisurely compared to peers who just entered the lab and were still struggling to learn.
Also, at the beginning of the third year, Xie Ying'an quietly rented an apartment near the school.
