As Brigitte's figure faded into the morning light, I felt a mixture of emotions. Although her words were full of haste and anxiety, I knew she was looking forward to this date. Her relationship with her mentor was getting closer, but I felt a little powerless in this spark of friendship.

"You said Brigitte is really naive." Xiaowei next to me suddenly broke my thoughts, her voice was so relaxed and teasing.

"Yeah, who would be in such a hurry for a date?" I replied with a wry smile.

Xiao Wei looked at me with a sly look in her eyes. "Don't tell me you're not worried about this. Aren't you afraid that she's with the tutor?"

"What am I afraid of?" I asked back, seemingly unconcerned. "You know Brigitte and the tutor are academically respected, it has nothing to do with feelings."

Xiao Wei curled her lips, obviously disagreeing with my point of view. "Love is a strange thing, who can tell? Don't you think Brigitte is always looking for a higher goal?"

I lowered my head and said nothing more. My blessing for Brigitte and a hint of jealousy were intertwined in my heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.

At this time, the door of the classroom was pushed open and Professor Zhang walked in. The classroom atmosphere instantly became solemn, and everyone fell silent, preparing for a new class.

"Today we are going to discuss innovative thinking." Professor Zhang smiled and looked around the classroom, finally stopping at me. "In addition to theoretical knowledge, the most important thing is to apply it."

"Professor, what do you think is the most important thing about innovative thinking in practical operations?" a student asked.

“Many people think that passion is all that’s needed, but in fact the most important thing is constant practice and reflection. Without practice, book knowledge alone cannot produce real innovation.” Professor Zhang’s voice is firm and full of teaching power.

After class, I walked aimlessly around the campus, thinking about the class. Innovative thinking? I had so many doubts, especially when facing Brigitte and the tutor.

"Xiao Yun!" A voice brought me back to reality.

I turned around and saw Huimin, and I was slightly delighted. "Huimin, you're here!"

"I heard that Brigitte had an appointment with the tutor today, and I was just looking for you to talk to her." Huimin walked towards me with a serious look on her face.

"You also think that what she is doing is not good?" I couldn't help but ask.

Huimin glanced at me sideways and didn't answer directly. "I think the relationship between people is very complicated. Haven't you and Brigitte always been good?"

"Yes." I sighed, feeling bitter. "She demands a lot from me and always wants better. I want her to be happy, but I'm also afraid of losing her."

Huimin nodded, seeming to understand my feelings. "I think the most important thing as friends is to support each other. Even if she chooses to explore a new relationship, you have to believe that she will cherish your friendship."

"I know, but..." I spread my hands helplessly, "There are always some things that are hard to let go."

"After all, rational people know that the more precious something is, the easier it is to lose." Huimin put away her smile and looked serious.

As we were talking, Brigitte appeared at the end of our sight. Her face was ruddy, as if she had just experienced an intense conversation, and her smile showed a bit of happiness. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but more of a sense of helplessness.

"What are you talking about?" Brigitte approached excitedly.

"Talking about you, how could I not mention you!" I joked, but my heart couldn't help but tighten.

"I knew you guys would gossip." She said coquettishly, with a gleam in her eyes. "But I'm really happy that my tutor gave me a lot of advice!"

I tried to keep smiling, but I felt a little sad. "That's great. It seems like your communication is going well."

"Yes!" Brigitte nodded, and she seemed to be talking a lot. "He mentioned the research direction of a certain project, and that I should be more bold to make breakthroughs."

I listened to her excited voice gradually fade away, the sound in my ears began to blur, and the familiar feeling of shame began to spread in my heart.

"You two are really compatible." Huimin finally interrupted and broke the silence that had trapped me.

Brigitte smiled and patted Huimin's shoulder, "Yes, I feel that the tutor is like my other half, as for the other things..." This casual remark made my heart tighten.

"Other things?" I said casually, "Are you talking about the boundary between friendship and love?"

"Yes! I think sometimes the two are not so clear." Brigitte's eyes showed her thinking, "In academia, love can often inspire inspiration."

"So what are your expectations for our friendship?" I couldn't help but ask such a straightforward question.

"Of course I hope that we can keep improving and encourage each other!" Brigitte said without hesitation.

At this time, Huimin interjected, "I think that true friends should be able to encourage each other and tolerate each other's shortcomings."

"Well said!" Brigitte clapped her hands, turned her gaze towards me, and smiled slightly, "So, Xiaoyun, don't think too much. I can understand your shortcomings!"

As we talked, time passed quietly. The sun shone through the treetops onto us. The haze in my heart gradually dissipated, and the warmth of friendship surrounded me again.

"However, I also hope you can help me look at other things." Brigitte hesitated.

"What's the matter?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm wondering if I should try to discuss matters related to the future laboratory with my supervisor." Brigitte said cautiously.

"You mean in-depth research?" I thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think it's a good idea, especially if you have a clear goal."

"Yeah, I think so too!" Brigitte's eyes flashed with determination, "I have some new ideas, and I want to have a good chat with him."

"Then treat him to a meal to improve our relationship!" I suddenly had an idea and joked.

"That's a good idea. We can share the pressure together." Huimin did not show any weakness.

Brigitte laughed, "Okay, I'll consider your suggestions!"

With laughter and joy, our mood returned to a relaxed state. However, I felt more uneasy in my heart, quietly looking forward to the uncertainty of the future. No matter how the relationship between Brigitte and her mentor develops, I hope we can still keep our sincerity.
