After placing a sumptuous meal on the table, Bai Yufei proudly placed her hands on her hips and admired her masterpiece.
Bai Yufei, you're such a genius. Not only can you cook, you have such a strong sense of aesthetics. Huo Yunkong really picked up a treasure when he found you!
Although it had been almost a week since she started being Huo Yunkong's cook, she still couldn't help but praise herself.
Seeing that it was just after 7: 15 PM, according to the timetable Huo Yunkong gave him, he should be on his way back and would be home soon. Bai Yufei took off her apron from her waist and put it away. She also put away her knife and chopping board.
I'm really getting better at it, Bai Yufei thought.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang, interrupting Bai Yufei's narcissism. When Bai Yufei answered the phone, Xia Tiantian's anxious voice said, "Sofia! Our team's investigation report has a problem with it! "
Bai Yufei's heart skipped a beat. She and Xia Tiantian were taking an elective class together, and one of the assignments was a group exercise. It required two people to complete a self-made survey report.
Thus, Bai Yufei and Xia Tiantian worked together to complete the assignment. Furthermore, this report of investigation was directly related to the course's final results, and every student attached great importance to it.
Although writing an investigation report was a simple task for Bai Yufei, her and Xia Tiantian's task assignment was also clear: Bai Yufei was responsible for providing the proposal and related information, while Xia Tiantian was responsible for recording and organizing the data.
Since Bai Yufei hadn't been living in school recently, she had always been in charge of filing the reports. Thus, Bai Yufei trusted her greatly.
However, the report of the investigation had obviously been submitted a few days ago. Bai Yufei was very confident in her choice of topic. The angle was new and unique, so how could there be a problem?
Now that she heard Xia Tiantian's anxious questions, Bai Yufei knew that the most important thing for her to do was to calm down and slowly explain everything clearly.
After Bai Yufei comforted Xia Tiantian for a while, she asked, "Don't worry, what happened over there?"
"The teacher said our group's report is too similar to the report from the other group." Xia Tiantian was so anxious that she lost her composure.
"Why don't the teachers think there's a problem with the other group? Our data and explanations were so perfect! " Bai Yufei felt it was inconceivable. In her heart, this report should be perfect.
"Because the other group submitted their report exactly two days before us, that's why the teacher thinks we're suspected of plagiarism." Xia Tiantian's voice was shaking. This sudden attack was too much for her.
"When is the new report due?" Bai Yufei tried to clear her thoughts as she asked.
"Tomorrow." Bai Yufei seemed to have heard Xia Tiantian's crying, "Because the teacher said that most of the information and content in our investigation report is still useful. Just think from a different point of view." "If tomorrow we can submit a report of similar quality, then teacher will think that the two similar assignments this time were just a coincidence and will not be suspected of plagiarism. Otherwise …"
"What else?"
"If not, I would have to repeat this course, and the records would also have to be recorded by the school! Because teachers do not want to appease the plagiarist. But Yufei, this report was obviously written by us bit by bit, and I have seen all of it, so how is it just copying it! " Bai Yufei could even imagine Xia Tiantian's anxious expression on the other end of the phone.
Bai Yufei knew the cost of retraining wasn't a big deal for her. However, for a girl like Xia Tiantian who pursued her own success, leaving behind a retraining course and bad records was the equivalent of leaving behind a stain that could never be erased.
Bai Yufei still felt that the situation was too strange. Why would there be someone who had the same thoughts as her?
She was certain that the angle and quality of the investigation report was due to the addition of her knowledge of the doctor, which far exceeded the requirements of the subject teachers. Therefore, the possibility of it being too similar to the questions of the other members should not be too high objectively.
After thinking about it calmly and rationally, Bai Yufei thought that the most important thing right now would be to meet up with Xia Tiantian and discuss the countermeasures.
"Tiantian, don't be in such a hurry. I'm going back to school now. "Believe me, believe us, we can write out the report tonight."
Sensing that Xia Tiantian had calmed down, Bai Yufei hung up with a heavy heart.
He explained to Huo Yunkong that he had to rush back to the school to investigate because the teacher thought that he was a plagiarist. The dinner was already prepared and placed on the table, telling him not to wait for him to eat first.
After receiving Huo Yunkong's short and powerful "Come on, believe you." Bai Yufei was finally relieved.
Although Bai Yufei tried to comfort Xia Tiantian with her words, she was actually panicking inside as well. She was also drenched in cold sweat from the sudden turn of events.
However, after hearing Huo Yunkong's brief words of encouragement, Bai Yufei suddenly felt that her entire body was filled with courage, from head to toe, when he said that he trusted her. Bai Yufei smiled and took a taxi back to the dorm.
When she got back to the dormitory, it was almost eight o'clock. Bai Yufei saw Xia Tiantian pacing back and forth, waiting for her.
Bai Yufei asked Xia Tiantian to send the report of the investigation to her. She had already read it again on the way here and had already made up her mind to revise it.
"Is eye cream, facial mask and snacks ready? We're going to stay in the dorm all night. " Seeing the slightly pale face of Xia Tiantian, Bai Yufei gave her a mischievous smile. At the same time, she made a joke to try to get rid of Xia Tiantian's frown.
Seeing Bai Yufei's determined expression, Xia Tiantian knew that she had found a way. Her eyes immediately lit up.
Bai Yufei and Xia Tiantian exchanged ideas. Xia Tiantian realized that Bai Yufei's thoughts were mature and profound, almost on the same level as her teacher. It was as if he wasn't working with her, but was being guided by her.
Was the previous Bai Yufei that powerful as well? Before Xia Tiantian could think about anything else, the mission in front of her was already pushing her to fight for every second.
In the quiet of the night, the sound of incessant tapping on the keyboard and the faint chirping of insects could be heard.
The night was a bit cold, but Xia Tiantian wasn't alone. She looked at Bai Yufei, who was focused on typing, and her heart was filled with fighting spirit.
Bai Yufei had never experienced this kind of time where she fought with her friends for a common goal, even though she had received unspeakable grievances.
It was actually quite good to have such a small episode in university, right? Bai Yufei pondered as she typed.
