After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

In late November, water in Yanjing freezes instantly.

A cold wind swept in from Xueyuan Road, causing the bare branches of the ginkgo trees to tremble.

Wei Yi, unusually bundled up in his down jacket, walked around the campus of the College of Applied Arts and Sciences.

He didn't come to class today.

To be precise, he was invited by Lei Xingshan.

The reason is that he officially "successfully transferred" last week.

He became Lao Lei's student.

He then personally donated two million yuan to the "Capital Liulihe Site Excavation Working Group".

Lao Lei is now the deputy leader of this excavation team.

Lao Lei asked him to come over today, saying there's an interview scheduled.

The manuscript had already been sent to him in advance.

He glanced at it.

I found it was all just clichés, so I just tossed it aside.

joke.

If you ask him to do something practical, he might not be up to the task and could mess it up.

But if you ask him to use platitudes, he can definitely spout them off without hesitation.

And he delivered it very well.

Believe it or not, even Juanzi can't compare to him.

The destination was the third floor of the administration building. When Wei Yi arrived, the small conference room was warm and cozy.

Lei Xingshan was wearing an executive jacket underneath a traditional military green cotton-padded coat.

The eyes behind the silver-rimmed glasses were squinted shut with a smile.

As soon as Wei Yi entered, she came up to him, grabbed his hands, and shook him vigorously.

"Wei Yi! You've finally arrived!"

Wei Yi was quickly pressed down to the head seat at the conference table.

After all, they are the big spenders.

Can understand.

There's quite a spectacle today.

Apart from a few archaeology professors.

There were also two reporters carrying cameras and a female host holding a microphone.

They all wore name tags that read "Capital Television Station" on their chests.

"From Beijing TV."

Lei Xingshan lowered his voice, unable to contain his excitement, "After the station heard about your sponsorship of two million, they contacted the school to do a special report. University student entrepreneurship supporting academic research—President Lu personally approved it!"

The female host's surname is Xu, she has short hair, and her smile is capable.

She asked the cameraman to adjust the camera position, and the red light on the microphone lit up:

"Wei Yi, we all know you're the founder of TAGE Technology. What made you decide to invest two million in the relatively niche field of archaeology?"

Wei Yi leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment.

You can't exactly say, "Because Teacher Lei agreed to let me skip class."

He adjusted his posture and spoke sincerely:

"After I switched to the history department, Professor Lei said something to me. He said that archaeology is a race against time, and every piece of pottery is a fragment of civilization. Once it is lost, it will never be the same again. At that time, I was thinking that I made shared bicycles to make everyone's travel more convenient, but there are some things that are more important than travel."

He paused, then caught a glimpse of Lei Xingshan letting out a sigh of relief in the corner.

"For me, two million might just be the operating cost of a company for one quarter. But for Professor Lei's team, it's more than three years' worth of funding. How much can they uncover in more than three years? How many students can they train? I think this is a very worthwhile deal."

Reporter Xu's eyes lit up: "Will you personally participate in the field excavation?"

"Yes." Wei Yi nodded, his expression serious. "I plan to start drilling tomorrow. Teacher Lei said we should start by learning how to scrape the strata."

Lei Xingshan nodded vigorously beside him, but in his heart he was thinking:

That brat's got something!

He didn't read a single word from the script he was given, but he was quite eloquent when speaking to the camera.

As for the suggestion that they would go down to the ground and dig with him tomorrow, Lao Lei didn't believe a word of it.

However, now that the two million has arrived, he can choose whichever exploration square he wants to dig, or even have a greenhouse built for him.

of course.

He has to pay for the greenhouse himself!

They're really short on money for their archaeological work!

After the interview.

Reporter Xu then pulled Lei Xingshan aside for a few more questions and answers regarding the academic value of the Liulihe Relics.

Lei Xingshan spoke energetically to the camera for a long time, from bronze inscriptions to the origins of Yan culture.

The cameraman's hands were shaking as he carried the equipment before he reluctantly wrapped things up.

Wei Yi took the opportunity to escape.

He was afraid that if Lao Lei caught him, he would start asking for funding again.

You should know that last week, he originally only wanted to offer 500,000.

Old Lei, with his persistent and tenacious spirit, accurately grasped his tendency to avoid trouble and his love of laziness.

I successfully swindled two million from him.

Two million is not a large sum of money for him now.

But we can't keep being worn down like this every day.

Moreover, Lao Lei said that his two million could make him the leader of the excavation team, removing the "deputy" part.

We can also arrange a deputy group leader position for Wei Yi to play around with at the same time.

Wei Yicai received two million at once.

These things are still far from being finalized.

However, based on Wei Yi's understanding of Vice Dean Lei after this period of time, after the demystification process...

If the old man gets a chance, that rascal will definitely try to take advantage of him again.

Of course, one should avoid it if possible, since one's money doesn't come from thin air.

That's all money I earned by working hard and staying up all night!

Wei Yi, who was on the run, had just reached the corner of the corridor.

A series of light footsteps came from behind.

"Wei Yi!"

Thankfully, it wasn't Dean Lei.

It was Jiang Wan; she caught up from behind.

She was wrapped up tightly in a long, off-white down jacket, with a light blue scarf around her neck and her long hair loosely tied with a plain-colored hairband.

She stopped in front of him, took a slight breath, looked up, and there was a familiar glimmer in her eyes.

"I overheard the interview outside. You said archaeology is a race against time, that's so true."

She tilted her head, a dimple flashing at the corner of her mouth. "But I know you actually switched majors because you thought there was too much homework in Chinese Language and Literature, right?"

"Jiang Wan, what exactly happened to you today?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

She took a notebook out of her bag, opened it, and took half a step forward, getting closer to him.

He was so close that he could smell the faint scent of gardenias on her, and so close that the white breath she exhaled when she spoke gently brushed against his chin.

She tilted her head back, her voice suddenly dropping to a whisper, so low that only the two of them could hear, yet her tone was as frank as if she were giving a work report: "Just now, while listening to you speak, I suddenly thought that you look especially beautiful when you're serious. So beautiful that I wanted to kiss you."

She paused, blinked, and said, "But that reason doesn't quite fit my identity. So could you pretend that I've tricked you? For example—I'm starting to 'seduce' you now, but you actually see through my intentions immediately, but you don't expose me out of politeness?"

What a genius screenwriter!

And isn't this just lust at first sight?

When I see my older sister working hard, or Sister Lin studying diligently, or Sister Jin working out diligently.

They are also prone to lustful thoughts and desires, such as kissing and touching.

This is normal.

Put yourself in their shoes.

When a woman sees a handsome man she likes, she displays a particularly charming demeanor.

It's probably normal to want to kiss and touch each other, right?

Yes, that must be it.
