The two walked into the academic building together, Yao Feng quickly unfastened his scarf and hat, shook them off, and when he saw Zhou Ziang still holding the coat in his hand, he could tell that he had braved the snow just to deliver a coat and couldn't help but smile. This young junior seemed young but acted in a measured and proper way, which was quite good for someone his age.
While they were talking, Dr. Shangsel, Yao Feng's mentor, approached them. Dr. Shangsel was a balding German botanist in his early fifties who had been working at Cornell University for over a decade and had a good reputation in the academic community.
"Oh, Yao Feng, have you already found a new partner? I received a call from Zheng Hao this morning saying he got a severe cold last night and can't make it to today's experimental report meeting." Dr. Shangsel had just received the call and came downstairs to find Yao Feng.
