PFC Chapter 56 The Head-Touching Incident
Chapter 56 The Head-Touching Incident
"Yun Yao, you're practically someone who's been out of the Nanxun scene. Others are praising that Skinner's nonsense, don't you have a brain too?" Wu Chen looked furious, as if he was about to pry open Yun Yao's head to see what was inside.
Hearing Wu Chen's words, Yun Yao became somewhat interested and watched him with her arms crossed.
When it comes to professional knowledge, Wu Chen is like a floodgate opening, and all sorts of professional terms come rushing at everyone like a raging river.
Yun Yao picked at her ear, feeling a little annoyed.
I thought he would produce some irrefutable evidence to refute the skinner's claims, but it turns out he relied on intuition. In this discipline where everything must be traced back to its roots, Wu Chen's reasoning was rather weak.
Yun Yao was getting impatient and stood up to face Wu Chen directly.
“Professor Song, blindly believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all. I advise you to abandon those existing materials and carefully examine the customs and traditions of the Yuan and Qin periods again.” Yun Yao’s voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was firm and resolute.
Han Wenqian was about to criticize Yun Yao for being so rude to Wu Chen, but before he could utter a sound, a piercing pain shot through his feet.
He looked down and saw that Ge Xiaoxiao's foot was stepping on him. Not only was she stepping on him, but she was also grinding her foot down!
"Ge! Xiao! Xiao!" He practically spat out the words through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, ready to devour Ge Xiaoxiao at any moment.
However, Ge Xiaoxiao showed no intention of lifting her foot. With her hands in her pockets, she glanced at Han Wenqian with utter disdain.
"Sorry, I stepped on your foot." But Ge Xiaoxiao didn't look embarrassed at all.
"Ge Xiaoxiao, get your foot off me right now!" Han Wenqian was in so much pain he could barely stand.
Ge Xiaoxiao then realized that she was still stepping on him, and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I thought I had moved it away!"
Ge Xiaoxiao's shout interrupted Wu Chen's train of thought, and he thought for a long time but still didn't know how to respond to Yun Yao's words.
She says believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all? Who does she think she is!
"Yun Yao, don't you think the Skinner's statement is correct? Then let me ask you, none of the people present in Nanxun had entered that tomb, so how did the Skinner know there were people buried with him?" Wu Chen was determined to win back the students' favor and deflate Yun Yao's arrogance!
Seeing that Yun Yao was silent, Wu Chen was secretly pleased and straightened his back a little.
But soon, a clear, ethereal voice rang out.
"Now I finally understand why you archaeologists are all so convinced that Situ Miao was framed. It turns out, this kind of stubbornness is contagious." Yun Yao looked at Wu Chen with a very complicated expression.
She thought they were just arrogant because of their high positions and power, but she never expected that these younger generation would be so presumptuous.
The future of archaeology is worrying!
Yun Yao shook her head helplessly.
Wu Chen didn't understand Yun Yao's meaning for a moment.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Yun Yao clapped her hands and walked past him.
"You've probably forgotten how those things ended up in the Nanxun Museum. Who dares to say that the Skinner wasn't involved?" Yun Yao said quietly.
When Wu Chen heard these words, he was completely stunned.
Yun Yao's words were not without reason. There had been many dissenting voices before, but no one dared to speak so confidently about the situation inside the tomb. If the skinner was indeed the archaeological bigwig they had been investigating, then all of this... would make sense!
Upon realizing this, Wu Chen was energized, forgetting even about Yun Yao's truancy, and left in a flurry.
Yun Yao watched Wu Chen's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She doesn't like people questioning her statements; if they don't believe her, then let them prove it for themselves.
Seeing that Wu Chen had left, Han Wenqian saw no need to stay any longer. He looked down at Yun Yao with displeasure.
"Yun Yao, when will you put that glib tongue of yours into studying? Ha, I don't think you have any hope in this life. After all, you're from the countryside, all you can do is loaf around and wait to die."
"Han Wenqian, are you fucking asking for a beating?" Ge Xiaoxiao raised her fist at Han Wenqian.
Han Wenqian hurriedly clutched his chest, his steps frantic.
"Truly a den of snakes and rats, Ge Xiaoxiao, didn't you always say that Yun Yao has such great talent in archaeology? In my opinion, she's hopeless! The big exam is coming up soon, we'll see!" Han Wenqian said this and hurriedly left, afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, Ge Xiaoxiao's fist would hit him in the face.
The large classroom was now empty except for the two of them. Ge Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Yao with some concern.
"Yun Yao, don't take it to heart. I'll tear Han Wenqian's mouth off one day!" Ge Xiaoxiao cracked her knuckles, making a snapping sound.
Yun Yao then turned her gaze to Ge Xiaoxiao. Seeing her shy and hesitant manner as she tried to get close to her, Yun Yao's mood instantly improved.
For reasons unknown, Yun Yao found herself placing her hand on Ge Xiaoxiao's head, her eyes filled with doting affection.
After realizing how abrupt her actions were, Yun Yao looked at the equally bewildered Ge Xiaoxiao with a hint of unease in her eyes. She awkwardly ruffled Ge Xiaoxiao's hair and quickly withdrew her hand.
"Ahem, you're very cute." Yun Yao finally managed to utter this sentence after holding it in for a while.
Yun Yao's tendency to be easily swayed by beautiful things is something she just can't seem to shake. The way she looked at Ge Xiaoxiao just now was like... a grandmother looking at her grandson.
Ge Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, her big eyes blinking as she stared at Yun Yao, who was half a head taller than her. A blush crept up from her ears and quietly spread across her cheeks.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became very strange.
Yun Yao clasped her hands tightly behind her back, puffing out her chest to ease her embarrassment. Despite her seemingly calm demeanor, she was inwardly cursing herself to the core.
What a blunder! When will I ever get rid of this bad habit of mine? Look how scared I've made the little girl! Anyone who doesn't know better would think I've done something to her!
Yun Yao had never felt time drag on so slowly. What had she done to deserve this? Rubbing her head? What an incredibly embarrassing gesture! Besides, she'd spent her free time learning about social etiquette and etiquette online. Judging from the girl's eyes, she wasn't going to misunderstand anything, was she? What a mess!
"that……"
"that……"
The two voices sounded at the same time.
"You go first!" Yun Yao quickly turned her body to the side.
She really wants to smash a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
Ge Xiaoxiao was about to say something, her lips parted slightly.
"Yun Yao, I..."
"The monthly school-wide assembly will begin in ten minutes. Please make sure Yun Yao is present." The announcement echoed throughout Imperial University.
Yun Yao nearly vomited blood. Had she forgotten to check the almanac before going out today? First, she encountered Bai Mengyan's unprovoked provocation, then she was thoroughly tormented by Wu Chen, and now this head-patting incident...
I've never been this speechless in ten thousand years.
However, this notification came just in time!
"I'm off, I'm off to the school assembly, I can't be late!" Yun Yao said as she hurried out.
As Ge Xiaoxiao watched Yun Yao's retreating figure, she felt as if a heavy stone was lodged in her chest, leaving her unsure whether to go up or down...
