Chapter 638: Chapter 638 Professor Chen Donglai_1

Chen Yi looked at the young girl and then at Ning Fan, her expression suddenly darkened as she coldly said, "Who told you he was pretending to be a student?"

The young girl was stunned, momentarily dazed, "You, you... What do you mean?"

"This gentleman is someone I specifically invited for academic exchange. You actually stopped him at the door, do you realize how serious this problem is?"

Without changing her expression or skipping a heartbeat, Chen Yi promptly crafted a new identity for Ning Fan.

Hearing these words, the young girl’s complexion changed drastically, and she visibly panicked.

"No, it’s not... I didn’t know about this, I was just thinking that I shouldn’t disturb Professor Chen..."

Chen Yi did not give her the chance to continue speaking and pushed open the lab door, leading Ning Fan inside.

Before entering, she glanced at the young girl and said coldly, "I will have Professor Chen seriously consider whether you should continue studying in this laboratory or not."

Then, under the frightened gaze of the young girl, she slowly closed the door.

The laboratory was very quiet, as if it was a world apart from the outside.

There were only a few students inside, each absorbed in their own tasks, and even as the two entered the lab, they did not draw attention.

Chen Yi led Ning Fan further inside while the students they passed by all looked up to greet her.

Ning Fan was quite curious, "Do you have a high status in the lab?"

Chen Yi smiled, tucking her long hair behind her ear, and said with a light laugh, "Actually... I am Professor Chen’s granddaughter."

"Professor Chen’s granddaughter... Chen Donglai, Chen Yi..."

Ning Fan muttered the names twice, suddenly realizing.

No wonder that young girl reacted as if she had seen a ghost upon seeing Chen Yi.

Under Chen Yi’s lead, Ning Fan arrived at the innermost laboratory.

Just as they knocked on the door, an impatient voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Didn’t I say not to disturb me while I am conducting experiments?"

Chen Yi stuck out her tongue and softly said, "Grandpa, it’s me."

The voice inside paused for a moment, followed by hurried footsteps, and then the door opened.

An old face with white hair appeared before them.

"My dear granddaughter, what made you think to visit your grandpa today?"

Chen Donglai ushered the two into the lab, not even inquiring about Ning Fan’s identity.

Chen Yi approached and affectionately wrapped her arm around Chen Donglai’s arm, beaming as she said, "Oh grandpa, I just missed you so much that I came to visit."

"Hahaha, good, good."

Chen Donglai was utterly delighted and his face wrinkled into a smile.

Indeed, granddaughters are an old man’s weakness, the ancients surely did not deceive me.

After chatting for a while, Chen Donglai finally noticed there was another person in the room and turned to look at Ning Fan, "And who is this?"

Chen Yi pulled Ning Fan over and said with a sly smile, "This guy here... is my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

Chen Donglai was taken aback and his expression quickly became severe. He adjusted his glasses and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"Young man, what do you do? How old are you? What’s the situation with your family?"

He bombarded Ning Fan with a series of questions, leaving Ning Fan somewhat befuddled.

It took him a moment to recover before he replied with a smile, "Professor Chen, Chen Yi is joking with you, she and I are just friends."

"Just friends?" Chen Donglai glared, "Do you think my granddaughter isn’t good enough for you?"

Ning Fan: "..."

In the end, it was only after Chen Yi’s explanation that Chen Donglai understood the actual reason for Ning Fan’s visit.

"I apologize, my granddaughter is normally quite the oddball, don’t take it the same way as she does."

With his granddaughter present, Chen Donglai was indeed in a better temper.

"If it weren’t for Chen Yi, I might not have been able to meet you, Professor Chen," Ning Fan gestured dismissively, then spoke earnestly, "Actually, I came today to ask for a favor."

"Is it an academic issue?"

"Yes... though perhaps not entirely so."

Thereupon, Ning Fan shared Xu Yourong’s condition with Chen Donglai, only omitting the matters concerning the Ice and Snow Goddess.

For most ordinary people, deities were still things that existed only in legends.

"Completely frozen and life force rapidly draining once thawed?"

Chen Donglai lightly stroked his beard, his eyes shimmering with contemplation.

"Such a case is truly unheard of. I’ve studied human cryogenic technology for decades, but this is the first time I’ve encountered someone naturally frozen."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Donglai took the initiative to suggest visiting Xu Yourong’s villa with Ning Fan to assess her condition.

Ning Fan couldn’t have asked for more; he had come with precisely that intention.

Having put away the documents on his desk, Chen Donglai followed Ning Fan and Chen Yi out of the laboratory.

The students in the lab watched in shock, their mouths agape with astonishment.

Professor Chen was notoriously unsociable!

And yet today, he was leaving with a stranger?!

What Ning Fan didn’t know was that in the minds of the students in the lab, Chen Donglai was a bona fide tyrant.

They went about their experiments in trepidation, constantly in fear that a slight mishap would provoke Chen Donglai’s wrath.
