as she already trying to pose as an intellectual in front of Academician Adams?

Jasn’t she afraid of being exposed?

he probably used such petty tricks to change Academician Adams’s opinion of her.

Academician Adams, what do you think?” Medea withdrew her gaze, seemingly unwilling to look at Eliza any further, and sincerely invited Matt.

won’t go join the bustle. You enjoy your meal,” Academician Adams rejected Medea’s invitation.

nd after Eliza took her seat, he picked up a piece of pink lotus root and placed it on for her, acting very warm.

[edea saw this and found it quite hard to understand.

That was there to like about her?

er undergraduate degree?

n the way back, Medea’s expression wasn’t good.

ideon, seeing only the two return and lacking tact, asked, “What about Academician Adams? Isn’t he coming?”

ledea didn’t speak.

alvin replied, “No, he’s not alone. It wouldn’t be convenient for him to come.”

ideon didn’t overthink it.

y now, people had arrived, including Baxter, who hadn’t been seen for a long time.

osh was the last to arrive.

fe said an important meeting had delayed him.

Gideon even joked with him, “The sun must be rising from the west today, since even Brother Ye la here.”

After learning that the person in Josh’s heart was Eliza, Medea’s attitude towards him cooled.

Even though he came, Medea didn’t speak to him.

It was as if there was a wall between them.

Baxter found it all rather confusing.

Midway through the meal, the performance began.

It was boatmen rowing boats carrying dancers gracefully dancing on wouden vessels

To allow guests on both sides to enjoy the view fully, the servers opened all the windows of the private rooms.

osh spotted Eliza at a glance.

After that, his gaze never moved away; he kept watching her.

Jaxter was originally seated inside; the window seat was taken by Gideon.

fter seeing Eliza, he insisted on swapping places with Gideon.

What performance haven’t you seen before? Why are you so interested in this one that you need a close–up view?”

axter couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. “Just swap if I tell you to.”

fedea wasn’t interested in the performance and chatted intermittently with Calvin.

still have to prepare for the postgraduate exam. I’ve been so busy lately I’m dizzy. I haven’t rested well this whole week.”

f it’s really too much, consider giving up the exam for now. Your health is important,” Calvin said to her.

ledea refused. “If I can become Academician Adams’s student, it would be a great help for both Bosi Technology and myself. I can’t give up this opportunity.”

erhaps afraid Calvin would worry, she comforted him, “Don’t worry, I’m confident. After all, I have a doctoral degree. Taking a domestic postgraduate exam

houldn’t be too difficult.”

t this point, she shifted her tone and said with some disdain, “The one who should truly know when to back off is Eliza!”

ideon, probably bored and uninterested in the performance, forced himself into their conversation and asked, “What’s going on with Eliza?”

Don’t you know?” Medea chuckled lightly, her tone full of contempt. “She’s planning to apply for a graduate position under Academician Adams.”

ideon’s reaction perfectly matched Medea’s expectations.

Diza? Postgraduate exam? And it’s Academician Adams’s program? Are you sure?”

is she… already that overconfident now?”

le admitted Eliza had some capability.

ince leaving Everest, she had repeatedly reshaped his perception.

ut capability and academic qualifications are two different things!

liza is way too overconfident

videon’s expression was hard to describe, his look complicated as he glanced at Calvin, wanting to know his reaction

lowever, Calvin had no reaction whatsoever

To be precise, he simply didn’t care about Eliza’s artions and didn’t intend to express any opindon

His expression was very calin.

Well, his official fiancée was right here, he had to consider her feelings to some extent.

Besides, he had always been quite indifferent towards Eliza before Now that he had Medes, Elia was obedy a closed shape for him.

Gideon pursed his lips, thinking Eliza’s move might be hard to handle gracefully

He’d have to mention it to his old man later, to stop him from always praising how great 1liza was in Front of bim

Medea took in Gideon’s reaction, and while drinking tea, lowered her head with a silent smile.

It wasn’t that she looked down on Eliza.

Instead, everyone thought she was daydreaming.

some things can’t be achieved through showing off or taking shortcuts!

The performance ended, and the dinners on both sides were also winding down.

Fideon, probably having been cooped up for too long, still seemed a bit reluctant to call it a day. He asked if they wanted to change locations and hang out some

nore.

Ledea was just about to say that she and Calvin had no problem with it.

ut Josh stood up first and said, “I have other matters, so I won’t join. You all have fun.”

learing this, Medea’s expression cooled slightly.

Ithough she hadn’t spoken to Josh during the entire meal, she had been observing his reactions.

e hadn’t even made eye contact with her the entire time, completely ignoring her existence.

nd now he was leaving early–most likely to go find Eliza, wasn’t he?

3 impatient already?

ot even bothering to put on an act anymore?

Well, well, it really was exam prep materials.

Eliza was really stubborn, wasn’t she?
