I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

After leaving Shi Jian's rented room, Shen Kang went to the welfare home.

After playing around with the kids for a while, Shen Kang went straight to the dean's office. As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Junbai working behind his desk.

"I just don't understand, how do you, a mere dean, get so much work every day? You seem busier than me, a college graduate."

As Shen Kang spoke, he swayed over without changing his posture, hooked a chair over with his foot, and plopped down in front of Yan Junbai's desk.

Yan Junbai slowly said, "Your voice is too loud. I can hear it from far away in my office. It sounds like you're slaughtering a pig."

Then she looked up at Shen Kang and asked, "Didn't you bring anything this time?"

After saying that, Yan Junbai lowered his head again and continued working, ignoring Shen Kang.

Shen Kang felt a headache coming on. "Seriously? Is it really that materialistic? You didn't even bring anything, so you're too lazy to talk to me."

As he spoke, he took out a small bag of cookies that he had hidden behind his back and tossed it onto the desk.

"Someone brought something, here."

Yan Junbai glanced up again, somewhat disdainfully: "That's it?"

Despite his initial disdain, he still reached out with his right hand and took the small bag of cookies, then opened a drawer and put them inside.

Shen Kang also glanced at it.

He knows that drawer very well.

Or rather, they all knew the children in the welfare home.

Whenever these children were injured or wronged, the director would always take them to his office, open a drawer, and take out some food from it—White Rabbit candy, compressed biscuits, saccharin, and all sorts of other things.

The children in the orphanage felt that drawer was like Doraemon's magic pocket, and they all really liked it.

After tossing the cookies in, Yan Junbai closed the drawer and glanced at Shen Kang: "Today isn't a public holiday, it's just the weekend. Why did you come all the way back from Beilu District?"

Shen Kang shook his head: "No. I was discussing business with a boss whose factory is in the High-tech Zone, so I came to inspect his factory and just happened to come and take a look."

Yan Junbai looked surprised. "Oh, your business is getting bigger and bigger, you're even starting to do due diligence?"

Shen Kang looked pleased, but still waved his hand, feigning humility: "It's alright, it's alright. It's not a big factory, I reckon it's just a small factory with an annual output value of tens of millions. I'm just taking a look, just taking a look..."

Yan Junbai was quite patient, letting Shen Kang boast in front of him for a long time, allowing Shen Kang to have a good time bragging.

Finally, his patience wore thin, and he started to shoo them away, "Alright, alright, you only brought a bag of biscuits, and you've ruined almost an ounce of tea leaves. Hurry up and leave."

Shen Kang was still somewhat reluctant to leave, but since the dean had already asked him to go, he could only stand up and stagger out the door.

Just as I reached the door, the dean's voice came from behind: "Will I be making your dinner tonight?"

"No."

Shen Kang didn't turn his head, but simply raised his right hand and waved it behind him. "I'm going to find Yin Mingyang. I'll mooch dinner from him. I'm determined not to waste any of the food in the yard."

Yan Junbai nodded, deeply agreeing, "You're the shrewd one."

Just when Shen Kang thought everything was alright and was about to leave, Yan Junbai's voice came from behind him again.

Shen Kang paused for a moment, several faces flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern, then turned his back to Yan Junbai and smiled brightly: "I'm quite used to it."

"You'll get used to it... Go ahead."

……

Inside the campus of Qianmin University, along a main road, three people who looked like students were walking—two men and one woman.

The girl walking in the middle was very beautiful, with a gentle and delicate demeanor, and she was carrying a pile of books in her arms.

The boy on the right was quite tall, with slightly dark skin, a good build, and regular features. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was still quite pleasing to the eye. He was also carrying a bunch of books.

The boy on the left, who isn't very tall and has slightly curly hair, is Yin Mingyang, and he's also carrying a bunch of books.

All three people were carrying a pile of books, but it was obvious that the girl in the middle was carrying the fewest books, while the two boys on either side were carrying about the same height of books.

Thank you.

The three had walked a few steps when the girl in the middle said something again.

The boy on the right turned his head, grinned, and said, "It's nothing, it's just on my way, a small favor."

Seeing that the other party had spoken first, Yin Mingyang was not to be outdone and said in return, "Yeah, it's nothing. You're welcome."

Just then, a cell phone rang.

"I'm taking this call."

Yin Mingyang recognized his phone, said something, stopped, put the book he was holding on the ground, and then took out his phone.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Yin Mingyang was somewhat surprised, then put the phone to his ear: "Hey, Lao Shen, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is something wrong?"

"Look at you, can't I even make a phone call to check on you?"

"No, I get goosebumps just hearing you care about me. Is something wrong? If not, I'm hanging up, I'm busy here."

"What are you busy with? I must have something to do. I'm at Qianmin University right now, inviting you to dinner. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Are people in the Great People's Assembly?

Upon hearing this, Yin Mingyang didn't even ask why the kid had suddenly come over. He quickly said, "Then hurry over and help carry things! Remember that cafeteria we ate at last time? You can start from over there..."

Yin Mingyang quickly told Shen Kang the address.

Shen Kang replied, "Okay, I'll be nearby, I'll be there in half a minute."

After hanging up the phone, Yin Mingyang turned to the two people beside him and said, "Wait a minute. A friend of mine is nearby and will be here in half a minute. Mengting, you don't need to move any more books; just give them to my friend."

The girl in the middle, named Mengting, hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

The boy on the right was a little unhappy that Yin Mingyang had another chance to show off—being able to call others over to help was also a way of showing off—but he still felt sorry for the girl and also advised, "Yeah, it's okay, let's wait a bit. These books are pretty heavy to carry, even I, a boy, can't handle them. Mengting, if you keep carrying them, not to mention getting tired, you might even develop some muscle in your arms first, hahaha."

It's unclear whether the two men's persuasion worked, or whether the terrifying scene of "muscle growth in the arms" described by the boy on the right had an effect.

The girl in the middle, named Mengting, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed to put the book down for the time being.

The boy on the right was also about to put his book down.

Just as the three of them finished talking and put down their books, a car drove up from behind the main road and stopped next to them.

The three of them instinctively turned their heads to look over.

Yin Mingyang glanced at it and saw that it was an Audi, not Shen Kang's BMW, so he didn't pay any attention and was about to look away when he saw the driver's side door open and someone get out of the car and look over the roof in this direction.

"Old Shen?"

Yin Mingyang was quite surprised. He looked at Shen Kang, then at the Audi, and asked, "Didn't you used to drive a BMW? Why did you switch to an Audi?"

The person who drove up was Shen Kang.

After hearing Yin Mingyang's words, he remained silent for a moment. Instead, he glanced at the two people next to Yin Mingyang and then looked at the three piles of books, seemingly lost in thought.

Good grief, it feels like another drama is about to unfold? But doesn't Lao Yin already have Huang Jing as his girlfriend? Who is this girl now? ...

Although Shen Kang still had many questions in his mind, he still professionally put on a slightly obsequious expression, raised his right hand, waved it in that direction, and loudly greeted Yin Mingyang.

"Young Master Yin!"

The shout was loud enough that the few students passing by in front and behind looked over in surprise, wondering which feudalistic evil had brought this "young master" thing back to life.

After he called out, Shen Kang quickly jogged over from in front of the car.

"Young Master Yin, didn't you get tired of that BMW after two years? So you just left it in the garage to collect dust and bought an Audi instead. This car feels stable, but it doesn't have the same driving fun as that BMW..."

The girl named Mengting looked at Yin Mingyang and Shen Kang with surprise.

The boy on the right, still in the position of about to put the book down, was also looking at Yin Mingyang and Shen Kang with surprise.

Yin Mingyang was secretly pleased, thinking that Lao Shen was as helpful as ever. He didn't have to say a word, and Lao Shen already knew how to make his entrance.

The two then chatted back and forth between "Old Shen" and "Young Master Yin" for a few minutes.

Yin Mingyang patted Shen Kang on the shoulder generously: "We're at school now, so don't call me 'Young Master' or 'Master' all that. Just call me Old Yin. Keep a low profile."

Shen Kang didn't agree immediately, but instead gave Yin Mingyang a look—you'll pay for dinner.

Yin Mingyang felt a little sorry for him, but he still returned a look – no problem.

Shen Kang immediately beamed and readily agreed, "Yes, yes, Lao Yin." Then he looked at the two people next to him.

Upon seeing him, Yin Mingyang introduced him to Shen Kang.

It was through Yin Mingyang's introduction that Shen Kang learned the boy on the right was named Gao Shang, and the pretty girl was named Shi Mengting.

Yin Mingyang and Gao Shang were helping Shi Mengting move her books to her dormitory.

Shi Mengting is a student leader in her class. These books are to be taken back to the dormitory and distributed to the students in her class.

This Shi Mengting and Yin Mingyang are not in the same major class. As for why Yin Mingyang came to help, that's unclear.

Since this matter has come to this, Shen Kang naturally wants to do something about it.

"Since we've run into each other, let's not carry anything. Just put it in the car and I'll take it over."

Seeing that Shen Kang had a car and the journey wasn't far, and with Yin Mingyang agreeing with "yes, yes," everyone agreed and moved the books into Shen Kang's car.

Then the four of them prepared to get into the car.

That cunning guy, seeing that it was time to get on the bus, rushed ahead, squeezed into the back seat, and moved to the other side.

Shi Mengting glanced ahead, hesitated for a moment, and instead of going to the passenger seat, she sat in the back next to Gao Shang.

Yin Mingyang watched with a headache: with this arrangement, he would only be able to sit in the passenger seat, leaving Gao Shang and Shi Mengting to sit in the back.

Although it's only a short walk from here to the girls' dormitory, and nothing could possibly happen even if the two of them sat in the back, he still felt unhappy just thinking about sitting in the front while the two of them sat in the back.

Shen Kang still had a plan.

Shen Kang, sitting in the driver's seat, saw Yin Mingyang open the passenger door to get in and immediately pleaded, "Young Master Yin, please have mercy! You know my girlfriend has a terrible temper. If anyone else sits in the passenger seat, she'll definitely skin me alive! Even you wouldn't be an option. Please, have mercy, Young Master Yin."

Old Shen really knows how to do things.

Yin Mingyang inwardly praised it, then showed an impatient look and muttered "What a hassle".

Then, he closed the passenger door, opened the back door, and got in.

So the three of them sat in the back, with Gao Shang and Yin Mingyang on the left and right, and Shi Mengting in the middle.

Yin Mingyang was quite happy.

Although it wasn't as good as him and Shi Mengting sitting in the back row, since there was also Gao Shang there, it was still better than letting Gao Shang and Shi Mengting sit in the back row alone.

Shen Kang glanced in the rearview mirror, said nothing, started the car, and drove to the girls' dormitory building under Shi Mengting's direction.

After parking the car, the group unloaded all the books from the vehicle, explained the situation to the dormitory supervisor, and then helped Shi Mengting move the books to her dormitory.

After finishing these tasks, Shi Mengting had her own things to do, so the three boys left.

After leaving the girls' dormitory, Gao Shang left.

Shen Kang pulled Yin Mingyang to sit in the back seat of the car, closed the door, and looked on with a gossipy and interested expression.

He couldn't wait to ask Yin Mingyang what was going on.

But before he could even speak, Yin Mingyang let out a long sigh and spoke first.

"Old Shen, do you believe a man can love two women at the same time?"

"..."

Shen Kang remained silent, took out a bag of sunflower seeds from the side, opened it, took out a handful, picked up a sunflower seed and put it to his mouth to crack it open, showing great interest and enthusiasm.

"What's going on? Hurry, I can't wait!"

Yin Mingyang was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply, looking very worried, but there was a strange pride in his eyes that he could not hide.

"Old Shen, do you remember back in October when I told you I might have a crush on a girl?"

Shen Kang recalled, and then he remembered, "It was that day I went to find you, and then we went to the orphanage? The girl you mentioned who was 'different'?"

He still remembered that incident; he knew that Yin Mingyang had a crush on a girl at the time. However, after everyone went to the orphanage, Yin Mingyang met Huang Jing, and the two quickly became a couple.

Shen Kang thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, there was a twist!

Shen Kang cracked sunflower seeds even more enthusiastically, and casually took out his phone to make a call, but when he was about to make the call, he remembered that his phone was too old and did not have a hands-free function.

"Old Yin, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Yin Mingyang was taken aback; the atmosphere they had just built up vanished. "What?"

Despite expressing his doubts, he still took out his phone.

Shen Kang then took his phone.

Yin Mingyang and He Qiuzhu also had each other's phone numbers. Shen Kang called He Qiuzhu directly, put it on speakerphone, and heard He Qiuzhu's voice coming from the other end, somewhat puzzled: "Feeding?"

"It's me, Shen Kang. I'm with Lao Yin. There's some juicy gossip to come. Don't hang up, listen."

Shen Kang finished speaking quickly, placed his speakerphone between the two of them, cracked a sunflower seed, and looked at Yin Mingyang in front of him, "Alright, Lao Yin, you can start talking now."

"..."

Yin Mingyang remained silent, then roared, "Shen Kang, are you even human?!"

Shen Kang chuckled, picked at his ear, and pretended not to hear.

Strangely enough, although Yin Mingyang roared and angrily denounced Shen Kang as inhuman, he actually started talking about it.

"It all started when you last visited our school..."
