Chapter 1555 - The Thesis Was Stolen
“Okay, I know. I’ll drop by early morning,” Nalan Chunbo said and ended the conversation before going back to the table.
Nalan Chunbo seemed tense when he sat down.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Shan asked in concern, aware that the phone call had something to do with her.
The phone call was indeed related to her. Nalan Chunbo leaned forward and asked her seriously, “Regarding the thesis you posted on the forum, has it ever gone through other people?”
The question was blunt and had nothing to do with their previous conversation.
However, Wen Shan was not stupid. The phone call must have been something related to the thesis since Nalan Chunbo asked about it.
Wen Shan thought about it then she shook her head. “No, Teacher Ding told me about the website. After I finished writing and checking the thesis, I posted it there. Even Teacher Ding has not read it.” She pursed her lips, looking concerned. “The thesis did not win the award too. Is there any problem with it?”
“Eat first. We’ll talk about it after eating,” Nalan Chunbo replied calmly.
How could Wen Shan eat peacefully right now? “Tell me first. How can I have my meal in peace if you don’t tell me what’s wrong?”
Nalan Chunbo held his rice bowl and stared at the agitated woman. He frowned and said firmly, “If you don’t eat now, you won’t be able to eat later. Let’s eat.”
Wen Shan didn’t reply and just lowered her head to quickly eat her food. She was not that worried because Nalan Chunbo was there for her. She was just curious about the actual situation.
Nalan Chunbo let his unease show once she started focusing on her food.
He knew that Professor Yīn wouldn’t just leave peacefully, but he didn’t expect a professor to do such a disgraceful thing.
Once Wen Shan’s reputation was ruined due to this plagiarism issue, she would not only be unable to continue staying on campus, she might also be expelled from her doctoral degree.
Wen Shan finished eating, placed the rice bowl on the table, then looked at Nalan Chunbo seriously. “I’m done.”
Nalan Chunbo looked at her eager facial expression and said slowly, “Then wait for me to finish eating.”
“But…” Wen Shan trailed off at Nalan Chunbo’s glare, then huffed. “Alright.”
Nalan Chunbo was satisfied with her response and continued eating slowly.
Wen Shan leaned back against the soft cushion and watched Nalan Chunbo eat. She felt like grabbing his rice bowl and finishing his food for him. Patience was definitely not one of her virtues.
When Nalan Chunbo finished eating and cleaning everything, Wen Shan was already waiting for him on the sofa.
Nalan Chunbo glanced at the time. It was seven o’clock at the moment. If Wen Shan did not leave his house before ten o’clock, she would miss the last back to go back to her campus.
However, the matter he wanted to explain would take more than three hours.
The only solution was for her to stay back tonight.
Nalan Chunbo sat next to her and opened his laptop. He found the list of winners of this year’s national thesis competition. Professor Yin’s name was listed but that was not the problem. The problem was the thesis he sent.
Wen Shan did not even bother about her sore back. She waved away Nalan Chunbo’s hand and opened the thesis. She scrolled through the document, looking shocked.
