Chapter 130: 0130 Return to the Countryside to Nurture Sentiments_1

One must have at least a PhD to become a professor, and 19-year-old PhDs aren’t that uncommon. What is rare is that someone had already become a professor and now returns to the countryside to farm.

Felicia Frost even searched online for the youngest professors and found many prodigies in their 20s, which was quite a blow.

But the youngest professor at Hadton currently is a 27-year-old PhD supervisor.

As for Ellen Young—

Even if she were just teaching regular college students at Hadton, she’s still ridiculously young.

Felicia Frost looked Lucy Wood over, from left to right, somewhat incredulously, "I’ve been with you for so many years, and I never noticed."

Lucy Wood glared at her, "What do you mean by that? After all, I graduated from Yaford University, which shows our family’s genes aren’t bad—correct!"

Suddenly, Lucy Wood said, "I seem to remember my grandfather saying that, three generations up, it should have been his father’s generation, he had a brother who was extremely smart. I don’t know exactly how smart he was, but my grandfather often said that the heavens envied the gifted because he fell ill and died young. Grandfather said it was because he was too smart, and the Wood Family couldn’t handle him, so the heavens took him back. When I was a kid, I always took it as a story, but now—I believe it!"

Although it sounds a bit superstitious, it at least indicates that the Wood Family does have smart genes.

It’s just too rare.

And being too smart isn’t necessarily a good thing.

Felicia Frost suddenly realized, "So, your mom did make a wise decision after all by abandoning Ellen Young. Ellen is so smart, your Wood Family isn’t worthy of her."

Lucy Wood: "...Consider my feelings."

Felicia Frost: "Do you think I can consider your feelings in front of a 19-year-old professor? Now, I just wish I could punch myself twice to forget all those things I said in front of her."

Felicia Frost now felt so world-weary she could have used a cigarette.

It’s not that she looked down on Ellen Young, but because of the situation with Lucy Wood, and it was her first time meeting Ellen, she was coming from the countryside, Felicia definitely didn’t have a good impression.

As they got to know each other, she indeed changed her opinion about Ellen quite a bit, but now she knows Ellen doesn’t need her to change her opinion at all.

Lucy Wood covered her face, "I actually thought she had a tough upbringing."

Ellen must have entered Hadton to become a professor at such an early age, she must have been discovered long ago. Such a talent wouldn’t be neglected by the country; no wonder she said she was always studying abroad.

Felicia Frost was a bit puzzled, "Why would such a young professor with limitless prospects return to the countryside now?"

Lucy Wood: "Maybe she got tired of teaching and went back to the countryside to cultivate her sentiments?"

Felicia Frost: "... I remember her saying she wanted to take a year off, now I understand why."

Lucy Wood took a sip of water, patted her chest to calm herself, "Do you think if I tell my parents—"

"Stop!"

Felicia Frost suddenly grabbed Lucy Wood’s hand, "We only know the news from online, and there is no direct evidence. If you tell your parents now, they would get excited, spread the word, and cause impact for Ellen. Do you think she might find you meddlesome?"

Lucy Wood: "..."

???

She thought about the issue and instantly understood.

Felicia Frost said, "Right now, no one online has disclosed her identity, and Hadton’s official account even released a statement when there was a slight issue; I suspect she’s under some kind of confidentiality agreement. They wouldn’t waste such a talent. Do you remember those exceptionally handsome couriers around her?"
