"Uh... um?"

When Gu Yuning woke up groggily, she felt as if she was holding something in her arms. She subconsciously pulled her arms closer, looked down, and found that it was a black men's jacket.

It belongs to Lin Zhou.

Although it was just the standard school uniform of Yinshan Academy, she was very familiar with the smell on it, and it felt quite comfortable to hug.

No.

Why was I sleeping with Lin Zhou's coat in my arms?

Gu Yuning quickly went through her memories and came to her senses—Lin Zhou came to find her, then forced her to rest, and then…

"Oh right, the work isn't finished yet..." Gu Yuning then seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately sat up from the sofa, the thin blanket covering her slipping off.

"President, you're awake?" a voice came from the side.

Gu Yuning raised her eyes and saw Chen Yu sitting at his desk with several documents in his hand. After noticing Gu Yuning's movements, he pushed up his glasses.

"Chen Yu...you...how long have I been asleep? What time is it?" Gu Yuning asked.

"8:40." Chen Yu glanced at the time.

"8:40..."

"You actually slept for several hours." Gu Yuning was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put on her shoes. "Where are the documents? Has the equipment issue been resolved? Has the academy responded? What about the registration of the damaged items...?"

"It's all taken care of," Chen Yu said.

"Hmm?" Gu Yuning stopped what she was doing.

She walked to her desk and found that the files that had been piled up everywhere had been reorganized, and there was an email from the college on her computer.

The application for temporary emergency funding has been approved.

Gu Yuning glanced at it a few times, and her tense mind, which had been working all day, finally seemed to relax a little. She looked at Chen Yu and said, "Chen Yu, thank you... I'm sorry to have left the work to you all by yourself."

Gu Yuning felt a little apologetic, thinking that she had overslept and that Chen Yu had been busy in the office all this time.

Chen Yu spoke up, "It wasn't me."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I was just running errands this time." Chen Yu handed her the documents beside him. "The solution was Lin Zhou's idea."

"Lin Zhou?" Gu Yuning was a little surprised and repeated the name.

"He separated the compensation for the damaged items from the equipment needed for the school anniversary celebration. The college was unwilling to accept the one million yuan in advance, but the temporary emergency fund of 20,000 yuan could be applied for normally."

Chen Yu continued, "The equipment that is missing for this school anniversary celebration can be obtained from the college first. The rest has been arranged with the rental company and can be delivered tomorrow morning. The school anniversary celebration will not be affected."

"Really... Lin Zhou is quite thoughtful." Gu Yuning hummed in agreement. "That's indeed a good method. The remaining issue is the responsibility for the fire..."

"We've also found the responsible party," Chen Yu said.

"What?!" Gu Yuning's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Chen Yu placed several other documents in front of her. "Lin Zhou said that the freezer in the classroom where the fire occurred was different from the one on the application form. The teacher checked the supplier's delivery records according to the equipment model and found that they had temporarily replaced the equipment."

"Was it changed temporarily?"

"Yes, the application form said a white double-door freezer, but what was delivered was a blue freezer, and there was also an outdoor unit that wasn't registered," Chen Yu said. "The supplier initially denied it, but the warehouse records and delivery photos are still there, and now the matter has been handed over to the teacher to handle."

"Let's handle it together."

"..." Gu Yuning looked down at the documents in her hand, feeling a little incredulous... Lin Zhou had actually finished processing everything while she was asleep.

"Oh my god... Lin Zhou actually..." she murmured.

Chen Yu was quite frank, "We had been checking the application form for any problems, and Lin Zhou happened to have eyewitness testimony... We followed this lead and carefully searched for evidence, so we quickly resolved the issue of who was responsible."

"Lin Zhou is very talented, it's a pity he's not a member of our student council." Chen Yu pushed up his glasses. "I heard he has his own club, what a shame."

"I think if he joined the student council, he would be able to assist you, the president, very well."

"I think the efficiency of the student council will be greatly improved if the two of you work together."

Gu Yuning was a little distracted at the moment, and only asked subconsciously, "Where's Lin Zhou?"

"Look, I've been here the whole time. I just wanted some fresh air, so I'm outside now."

"Outside?"

"His head seems to be hurting a bit; he went out to sit for a while earlier."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuning immediately grabbed her coat and headed for the door.

Seeing Gu Yuning's hurried departure, Chen Yu's gaze lingered on the spot where she left for a moment before he looked away, "..."

……

Lin Zhou was sitting on a bench in the corridor at that moment.

His head was against the wall, his arms were crossed over his chest, and his forehead was still wrapped in thick bandages. He seemed to be a little tired, and he looked as if he had fallen asleep.

Gu Yuning found Lin Zhou and stopped in front of him. "Lin Zhou?"

"Um……"

Lin Zhou slowly raised his head. "Ah, Yu Ning, you're awake?"

"She's awake," Gu Yuning said. "Chen Yu has already told me what happened."

"Isn't that a brilliant solution?" Lin Zhou said. "That supplier was initially stubborn and wouldn't admit it... Oh, by the way, the tide has started to turn on social media too, because the student council has produced reliable statements and evidence, plus everyone has received compensation..."

"A swift announcement, swift compensation, isn't that great?" Lin Zhou laughed.

Gu Yuning remained silent for a while before nodding gently, "Hmm...you did very well."

"Yu Ning, have you noticed anything?"

"What...did you discover?"

"I'm so reliable, you don't need to force yourself like that," Lin Zhou said. "Well... I know you're trying to show your mature side, but I think..."

This isn't the real you.

Gu Yuning: "..."

"No..." Gu Yuning gave a soft response, but the next second she was pulled into Lin Zhou's arms.

Gu Yuning's eyes widened. "Wait... Lin Zhou, there are security cameras here."

"Thump." Lin Zhou tapped Gu Yuning on the head. "Oh? What did you think I was going to do?"

Gu Yuning covered her head, and after a few seconds, she suddenly pouted like a little girl, "Lin Zhou is naughty."

"Hahahaha..." Lin Zhou squeezed Gu Yuning's novel, "Let's go home."

Gu Yuning stared blankly at Lin Zhou's profile. After a few seconds, a smile appeared on her face. She moved closer to Lin Zhou and said, "Um... let's go home."

"Aren't you afraid of being monitored by cameras, standing so close?"

"..." Gu Yuning hugged Lin Zhou's arm tightly and said, "I... I can be willful sometimes, is that not allowed?"

Seeing Gu Yuning's childlike side, Lin Zhou kissed her on the lips. "Okay, whatever you say."

Gu Yuning's face immediately turned red.
