You Are My Only Sunshine

Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Awkward…
 

“…” The curly-haired lion’s mane blinked again, seemingly not understanding at all what she was asking.

Then he sniffed his nose, pushed her aside, and walked over to the experiment table, rummaging through a pile of experimental equipment and herbs for something.

By this time, Jiang Yiqing was no longer scared. She stepped forward curiously and asked, “What is he looking for?”

“I don’t know.”

“Could it be he’s looking for some documents, or something to show you?” Jiang Yiqing speculated, and that was what Mo Jun thought too.

Finally, the lion’s mane’s eyes lit up fiercely, as if he’d found what he was looking for.

He pushed aside a pile of herbs and suddenly grabbed a… pork floss bun!

Seeing that pork floss bun, which had no telling how long it had been there, Mo Jun and Jiang Yiqing were dumbfounded…

Yet the lion’s mane cradled it like a prized treat, sitting down to eat it earnestly.

He seemed to enjoy it immensely, as if that pork floss bun was the most delicious food in the world.

After polishing off the bun in a few bites, he snatched up a beaker filled with clear water and gulped down a large glassful.

Using a beaker… as a drinking glass?

Seemingly satisfied after eating and drinking, the lion’s mane fished out a pair of glasses shaped like a beer bottle cap from a pile of experimental equipment and put them on, then continued with his experiments.

And Mo Jun and Jiang Yiqing standing by were outright ignored by him as if they were thin air.

“His mind seems… a bit off…” Jiang Yiqing said hesitantly, in a very soft voice.

Mo Jun also lowered her voice, “He must be that professor.”

“I thought he would be someone really scary, but he doesn’t seem so bad when you look at him like this.”

“But he’s completely ignoring us.”

“Watch this!” Jiang Yiqing stepped forward, removed her mask, and revealed a sweet smile, “Hello Professor! We are new students here, specially here to learn from you. We’ve heard that you’re incredibly accomplished and as handsome as Pan An, tall and mighty. Seeing you today, your fame is indeed well deserved!”

“Pfft—” Mo Jun almost burst out laughing.

That flattery of hers really lacked sincerity.

But Professor Lion’s Mane showed no reaction whatsoever, and Jiang Yiqing’s flattery was truly like speaking to thin air!

Even the air seemed to say: How awkward…

“Professor, we really are your students, here to study under your great name. Please, could you give us a moment of attention, just for a second, please?” Jiang Yiqing started to act cute, but no matter what she said, the lion’s mane still had no reaction.

Jiang Yiqing was deflated, “He’s not deaf, is he?”

“No,” Mo Jun shook her head, “he was startled by your voice earlier.”

“Then why is he ignoring us completely?” Jiang Yiqing was perplexed, “Does he simply not want to deal with us, not want to take on any disciples, so he’s deliberately making us uncomfortable?”

Mo Jun shook her head again, “That’s not it either. Look at how engrossed he is in his research; he’s not ignoring us on purpose.”

He was completely immersed in his research, having reached the state of self-forgetfulness.

Jiang Yiqing said dejectedly, “Even if that’s not the case, he’s not going to pay attention to us. I think you should just give up; I doubt you can learn anything from him.”

“Could you buy me something to eat on your way back?” Mo Jun suddenly asked her.

Jiang Yiqing was slightly startled, “Something to eat?”

Mo Jun nodded lightly with a smile, “Yes, food. Especially the kind that tastes better than a pork floss bun.”

Jiang Yiqing’s eyes gleamed instantly, “I got it! I’m on it now!”

“Thanks,” Mo Jun immediately gave her some money, and Jiang Yiqing excitedly ran off to buy food.

However, as Mo Jun turned around, she was suddenly surprised…
