Chapter 204: Chapter 143: Because There Was No Second Seed Before

When Mrs. Jiang learned that Shu Yao’s chosen major was at the Imperial University Agricultural College, she immediately contacted her son, Jiang Fei, on her Light Brain:

"Feifei, I remember you have a cousin who got a special admission spot at the Imperial University Agricultural College, right? Could you talk to your cousin and see if they can add one more person to their research group? Xiao Chao’s niece..."

"Oh, Mom, why do you have to make things so complicated! The spots in their research group were all assigned a long time ago. Besides, my cousin’s group has to submit their research results this month. Who would be okay with someone suddenly joining just to take credit for the finished work? Wait!" Jiang Fei, who had been impatient, suddenly changed his tone. "Mom, who did you just say?"

"Xiao Chao’s niece," Mrs. Jiang said. "Your Sister Xin’s daughter. You’ve run over here so many times, there’s no way you don’t know her."

"How could I not know her!" Jiang Fei grew excited. "Yaoyao’s business is my business. She wants to get into the Agricultural College, right? Just wait, I’ll go find my cousin right now!"

Before Mrs. Jiang could even react, her son had unilaterally ended the call.

She was stunned for a moment.

Listening to her son’s tone, which suggested he’d go through hell and high water for Shu Yao, she realized their relationship seemed to be far beyond what she had imagined.

Wasting no time, Jiang Fei hauled his bookish cousin, Li Hancheng, in front of Shu Yao.

"Yaoyao, this is my cousin. He got a special admission spot at the Imperial University Agricultural College last year. His group’s research results are already out. Here, I’ll send it to you to take a look." As he spoke, Jiang Fei used his Light Brain to send Shu Yao the thesis he had wheedled out of Li Hancheng.

Shu Yao glanced over it. "Not bad."

Li Hancheng was furious. "Cousin, how could you!" He had shared the results of their group’s hard work with someone else without his permission!

’Their group was still in the final stages of organizing everything. If the content was leaked from my end before the official submission, how am I going to explain it to my other group members?!’

Shu Yao held out her hand. "Let’s have it."

Jiang Fei looked completely lost. "What?"

"The seed," Shu Yao said, glancing toward Mrs. Jiang in the distance. Her tone was pointed. "Didn’t you bring your cousin over because you heard from your mom that I had a way to open the seed?"

Li Hancheng’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he became incredibly excited. "You can open the seed!?"

No one paid him any attention except for Lin Ziyin.

"Don’t listen to her nonsense. She said the same thing to me just now, but I begged her for ages and she still wouldn’t help me!"

Jiang Fei’s attention was still on Shu Yao. "Seed? What seed? I heard from my mom that you wanted to apply to the Agricultural College... My cousin is working on the special admissions project for the college, so I thought I’d bring him over to see if we could get your name added to their research group."

As for what Li Hancheng’s group was actually researching, Jiang Fei honestly had no idea.

"Are you an idiot?!" Shu Yao was rendered speechless by his stupidity. "The group spots are already assigned! Even if you wanted to sign me up, you should be trying to get my name into the Agricultural College’s special admissions system!"

Li Hancheng nodded hurriedly.

On the way over, he had already told his cousin that this wasn’t something he could decide on his own.

But his cousin just wouldn’t listen.

His gaze burned as he looked at Shu Yao. "Do you really have a way to open the seed the Agricultural College gave us?"

Lin Ziyin snapped, her voice both spoiled and irritable. "I already told you, there’s no way she can open it!"

With that, she took out the black seed. "If she could open it, she would have already opened mine!"

"You have a seed too?" Li Hancheng spared her a sliver of his attention.

"Of course!" Lin Ziyin looked proud. "I’m also a student who received a special admission spot for the Agricultural College. We must have seen each other on the day of the special admissions group assignments. My name is Lin Ziyin. What’s yours?"

"Oh, so you’re Lin Ziyin."

Lin Ziyin was delighted. "You know me?"

"Of course I know you!" Li Hancheng let out a barely audible scoff and said bluntly, "I heard you’re your group’s leader. I also heard that you’ve been hogging the seed from the Agricultural College ever since it was handed out.

"Your team members asked you for the seed to do their research, but you always came up with excuses and refused to give it to them, even when they begged. You’ve already caused two students in your group who had special admission spots to give up on getting into the Agricultural College through this route.

"In order to continue their research, your other group members had to ask other special admissions groups for help. In fact, we have one of your group members in our group."

Lin Ziyin’s previously triumphant expression vanished, her face flushing red and then going pale.

Wen Miaomiao wrinkled her nose and twisted the knife: "You’re so selfish! Even if you have a special admission spot, the Imperial University Agricultural College probably wouldn’t consider accepting a student like you. Did you think that since you couldn’t pass the special admissions, you’d drag your team members down with you?"
