It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

If it weren't for his truly profound and solid knowledge and skills, he probably would have been fired long ago.

Moreover, that's not the case. The other party is not qualified to be the mentor of the genius girl Newton, and Mr. Stoller would not have given Anne to him with any hope, even though the latter has proven to be a futile effort.

Looking at the half-acquaintance who was petting the dog, Li Cheng frowned deeply.

If I remember correctly, it should be class time now... and this Mitchell was someone he paid special attention to last time, with many classes specially arranged for him, so it's almost impossible for him to find time to pet the dog now.

His face darkened, and he slowly walked behind the other person, maintaining a suitable distance.

"Professor Mitchell, you really like dogs, why don't you consider getting one?"

Li Cheng casually struck up a conversation.

Mitchell is usually always smiling and doesn't compete with others, so he's very popular. It's not surprising that someone suddenly struck up a conversation with him.

As for the voice sounding somewhat familiar, that's even more normal. Why would you strike up a conversation with someone you don't know well?

“Raising a dog takes a lot of energy, so feeding stray dogs is much easier.” He said without turning his head, “I just come over and feed them when I want to pet them, and if I forget, I don’t have to. It’s very convenient.”

I never expected that someone would find raising a dog troublesome... Li Cheng looked down at the black dog and felt that it looked familiar: "I've heard that nobles like to keep hunting dogs."

"Hounds are nice, but I can't afford them."

Mitchell shook his head and said, "A well-trained hunting dog usually costs around 300 to 500 pounds, which is far too much of an overpayment. If hunting weren't an important recreational activity for nobles to demonstrate their status and ability, a dog wouldn't be worth that much at all."

"Unless the school suddenly allocates a large sum of money that I can't spend, I will never consider buying a hunting dog."

"Give you funding? You're dreaming..." Li Cheng's lips twitched, and he said sinisterly, "Perhaps from now on, you can afford it through hard work?"

"Haha, work hard? How could that be... um?"

Mitchell chuckled for a moment, then seemed to realize something was amiss and wondered who was talking to him—after all, 300 pounds was no small sum, and the tone of the conversation was rather boastful.

So he slowly turned his head and saw a young man with familiar red hair standing two steps behind him, who was smiling, but you could feel a very unfriendly feeling about him.

Li Cheng: Smiling

Mitchell: ?!

Mitchell knew this man; he knew his name was Albert Lee, the new Chancellor of Cambridge.

Under the direction of the Third Princess, the other party took office suddenly and in a flurry of activity. Before any of the professors could react, they suddenly threw out a series of dazzling new discoveries and new terms. Then, through a face-to-face meeting that lasted an entire afternoon, they left all the professors dizzy and completely convinced.

Because the findings are too complex and are still in the stage of careful verification and experimentation, we dare not make any rash conclusions at this time.

The two new compulsory courses, "Fundamentals of Mechanics" and "Atomic Chemistry," are currently in a stage where "professors and students verify the textbook content together," which is quite remarkable compared to the usual teaching methods.

It even makes one feel as if they have returned to the golden age of Greece, feeling a heartfelt joy and nostalgia—back then, students and teachers had a relationship of mutual exploration.

However, none of these are the most important things for Mitchell right now.

The important thing is that this Albert Lee was caught slacking off last time—and coincidentally, he is slacking off now, after the other party has punitively arranged a teaching schedule.

'How could this be? This young headmaster is supposed to be someone who doesn't come to Cambridge very often,' Mitchell thought to himself.

However, with a living person standing right in front of him, he could only accept his bad luck.

......

Mitchell finally snapped out of his shock and wiped away a bead of cold sweat: "Headmaster, what a coincidence."

Li Cheng sneered, "It is quite a coincidence—Professor Mitchell, shouldn't you be in the classroom teaching 'Fundamentals of Mechanics' right now? Why are you having so much fun playing with a black dog here?"

"Forehead......"

Mitchell forced a smile: "I believe that self-study is also a very important part of learning..."

Li Cheng stared at him and said, "I think those students have studied on their own enough. Now they need a teacher to point out their mistakes."

Mitchell said sheepishly, "I think so too..."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the teaching building, as if he were being chased by something.

Li Cheng watched him leave until his figure disappeared, at which point he roughly determined his course of action against him.

Fired is out of the question. This old salted fish still has a solid foundation. No school would mind having an extra professor, even if he is not usually willing to teach or complete school tasks.

But despite his words, Li Cheng couldn't possibly ignore seeing how skilled the other person was at touching him.

Doesn't this guy like to wander around? We're short-handed right now, so since he won't move around at the school, let's send him out on a business trip.

As a key figure in Cambridge's academic exchange program, he will first tour the UK... well, the first stop is Oxford, where he should receive a warm welcome.

Chapter 81 Super Double

Only after Mitchell's figure disappeared from sight did Li Cheng remember something important.

I forgot to ask Lavoisier where he had his classes.

It must be said that in the era before mobile phones, it was really troublesome for two people to contact each other. And the so-called pen pal stories are even more incomprehensible to Li Cheng.

Half a month has passed since that letter went back and forth, and all the feelings have faded!

This is probably why childhood sweethearts in early anime were almost invincible – real people you spend every day with are much more endearing than a phone person who isn't even a paper cutout.

Moreover, smartphones weren't widespread back then. Forget video calls, even taking photos didn't have enough resolution, let alone beauty filters.

Of course, this advantage has almost disappeared after the widespread use of smartphones. Chatting on chat apps can sometimes be more exciting than in real life, and when people get into a good chat, they often send selfies that are filtered and beautified...

As a result, animation producers also followed the trend, and childhood sweethearts successfully became a symbol of the times and a synonym for losers... Well, I won't name names here, those who know, know.

Hold on, let's get back to the main topic.

Although he didn't have a cell phone, thankfully Lavoisier wasn't the obscure Cambridge figure he once was, so it was easy to ask around.

So Li Cheng randomly stopped a seemingly normal-looking green-haired female student who was passing by and asked, "Excuse me, do you know which classroom Professor Lavoisier teaches in?"

The green-haired woman casually glanced at Li Cheng, noticing that he also looked like a student, and asked, "Do you want to audit Professor Lavoisier's classes?"

Li Cheng thought for a moment: "More or less...?"

"Then why didn't you bring a book?"

The green-haired woman was a little confused, but she didn't expect Li Cheng to answer. Instead, she said, "Never mind, I'm going anyway, so you can come with me."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

So Li Cheng followed behind the green-haired female student, and the two remained silent for a moment.

However, a moment later, the green-haired woman slowed down and walked alongside Li Cheng, and they began to talk.

“Actually, it’s too late for you to go now.” He shook his head with a regretful look. “Professor Lavoisier’s classes are very popular, and you won’t be able to get a seat if you go now.”

"It doesn't matter, I'm not really here to listen to the lecture anyway..." Li Cheng shrugged: "It's fine, no big deal."

"Many people share the same thoughts as you."

The green-haired woman nodded in agreement, saying, "After all, Professor Lavoisier is talented, good-looking, and has a great figure. Some people just want to come and see her."

Li Cheng sensed something was off and asked, puzzled, "What about you? Aren't you late too?"

"According to general rationality, this is indeed the case."

The green-haired girl finally revealed her true intention in striking up a conversation. She tried hard to suppress the slight upward curve of her lips and said smugly, "But I'm treating my classmates to dinner, and they asked me to save them seats for me—and the very front row."

Goodness, you can be so proud of letting your classmates save your seats, is it really necessary?

Li Cheng's lips twitched; he was too lazy to bother with this guy.

......

Three teaching buildings, second floor.

Looking at the crowded and noisy classroom 206, Li Cheng gave up his plan to go in. Instead, he found a seat in the empty classroom 205 next door, secretly observing the doorway, ready to intercept the door at any time.

However, just then, Li Cheng saw a green-haired female student walk heavily in through the front door. Her brows were furrowed and her face was extremely pale, as if she had encountered something very bad.

"Isn't this the student who led the way earlier...?" Li Cheng was taken aback: "What are you doing here? Where's your seat?"

"It's gone."

Seeing that it was Li Cheng who spoke to her, the green-haired girl's face grew even uglier. After all, she had just been gloating about having someone save her a seat, but now she had turned around and squeezed into the next classroom, ending up like the latecomer in front of her.

Li Cheng asked curiously, "What happened? Did your classmate stand you up?"

While reserving seats is not a good practice, it's still strange that they can just disappear like that.

"No, that's not it. It has nothing to do with my classmate."

The green-haired girl obviously wanted to confide in someone, so she sat down in the seat next to Li Cheng: "There were a few particularly arrogant people who couldn't find a seat, so they made a scene and simply drove away all the students in the front row. Nobody dared to mess with them."

Li Cheng frowned: "Really? Forced to take a seat?"

Would I lie to you?

The green-haired girl said sadly, "My classmate barely managed to find an empty seat in the back, but I didn't get one—sigh, why am I so unlucky? I just happened to run into them."

Li Cheng said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they'll be the ones who suffer."

"Ok?"

The green-haired woman was puzzled. She turned to look at Li Cheng and asked, "What do you mean? Why do you say they're the ones who are unlucky?"

You'll find out soon enough.

When Li Cheng saw a familiar figure outside the door, he lost interest in explaining and stood up to walk out of the classroom.

......

Li Cheng walked out of the classroom and blocked the silver figure heading towards it.

Lavoisier was still wearing that white coat today, but she looked much better than when I first saw her.

Her already fair and delicate face now had a healthy blush, her arched eyebrows radiated confidence and hope, and her blood-red eyes were lively and bright—even her already shiny silver hair became even more dazzling, reflecting a dazzling light under the sunlight, so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.

Looking at Lavoisier like this, Li Cheng smiled and said.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"what?!"

Lavoisier clearly hadn't expected to run into Li Cheng here. She exclaimed in surprise, her eyes revealing a hint of delight, but that delight quickly turned into resentment.

That day, in a moment of impulse, she forcefully kissed Li Cheng. After that long and deep kiss, she rashly declared, taking advantage of the atmosphere, that he would come to her house for an inspection. This left her feeling anxious ever since, unsure what to do if Li Cheng actually came to her house.

If you agree, it will make you seem like you're giving away your money for nothing.
