The academic genius started by accidentally flirting with the rich female principal.

The next morning,

Chen Yu was still fast asleep in bed when suddenly the dormitory door was pushed open, the sound waking him up.

"brother!"

"I'm back!"

Zhou Qihang, who had gone out to seek refuge, returned. Seeing the sleepy-eyed Chen Yu, he said with a smile, "Yu Zi... do you know how lucky I am? Let me tell you... when I was traveling, I met a really nice girl, and then we traveled together, and then... hehehehe..."

Chen Yu yawned, rolled his eyes at him, and said irritably, "You're back, so why are you making such a racket? Don't you know I'm sleeping?"

How was I supposed to know you were still in the dorm?

"You should be in the lab at this time normally." After closing the door and putting away his luggage, Zhou Qihang sat down on the edge of Chen Yu's bed and asked cautiously, "Um... how's the situation with Vice Principal Wen going? Did... did she give you any trouble?"

"Let it just fizzle out."

"Why would such a high-ranking leader bother me?" Chen Yu scoffed, lay back down, and said casually, "Anyway, I told Principal Wen that it was because of your problem... that I ended up on a blind date with her out of the blue. But she doesn't seem to have any objections. She just told me... that this matter shouldn't be known by anyone else."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Staring intently at his good friend, he said seriously, "Besides you and me, there's Principal Wen too. If a fourth person finds out, we'll be expelled."

Zhou Qihang shrank back and quickly nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, don't worry... this matter will remain buried in my heart forever. Even if I die... I will die with this matter in my heart and will never reveal a word to anyone."

Then...

Then he noticed a pair of crutches next to Chen Yu's bed.

"what?"

"Are you lame?"

"Why are there crutches?" Zhou Qihang asked in confusion.

"well--"

"I sprained my ankle... and it's in a cast." Chen Yu pulled his blanket up, revealing his left foot, which was covered in a thick cast, and said with a pained expression, "I also asked Professor Shen for half a month's leave. In addition... I might be moving out soon. Professor Shen helped me apply for a single apartment for doctoral students."

Upon hearing about the single apartment for doctoral students, Zhou Qihang was momentarily stunned, but quickly came to terms with it. He had long anticipated that his brother would continue pursuing a doctorate, and the so-called job search was merely an excuse to justify his own doctoral studies.

"I didn't expect this..."

"We're about to part ways."

Zhou Qihang is currently a second-year graduate student and will soon be a third-year graduate student. That means he and Chen Yu have been together for two years and have become almost like brothers. But... his good brother is about to move out, which is quite disheartening.

"..."

"Why is it so cheesy?"

"Please stop disgusting me, okay?" Chen Yu was about to vomit and retorted irritably, "I'm still at school, I just don't live here anymore."

"That's right!"

"You're still in school, damn it... I forgot about that."

Zhou Qihang, no longer looking sad, smiled at Chen Yu, but then suddenly... as if remembering something, a hint of confusion crossed his face, and he asked curiously, "Wait... does our school have single apartments for doctoral students? I remember only postdoctoral fellows... that is, doctoral students working in postdoctoral research stations, can apply for single apartments, right?"

Chen Yu shrugged and replied casually, "Given Professor Shen's size, if she were to speak up... I doubt the school would refuse her request."

"That's true..."

"Although Professor Shen isn't an academician, the project funding she has is comparable to that of an academician. If she asks for a position... the university will definitely think twice," Zhou Qihang muttered. "It's a pity she's too young. If she were ten years older, she could definitely be elected as an academician."

Shen Yanru's strength is beyond doubt... Although she also studied abroad, she went abroad with government funding and became a PhD in science in the shortest time. After returning to China, she went straight to work and quickly achieved outstanding results. Looking at her resume... any genius would be ashamed.

that is...

It's possible that long-term repression has led to some flaws in his personality.

She always had a fierce, cold face and an indifferent attitude towards everyone, even the principal... The principal would avoid her at all costs.

"Oh, right..."

"Do you know anyone in the finance department?" Chen Yu asked Zhou Qihang casually, recalling Zhang Qi's incident.

"Finance and Economics Department?"

"I do know a few girls... What's wrong? Who... have you taken a fancy to?" Zhou Qihang asked with a smug look on his face.

"It wasn't me."

"Zhang Qi...you know him, right? He's my senior."

"He's fallen for a female student in the finance department. Last time he asked me if I knew anyone in the finance department, and I immediately thought of you," Chen Yu replied.

Zhou Qihang smiled and said, "You've come to the right person. Don't worry... Your senior brother is my senior brother. I'll go find Senior Brother Zhang Qi later to find out the specifics."

The two brothers chatted for a while afterward, mostly about women, with some scatological and humorous content.

Chen Yu skipped off to the bathroom to wash up, while Zhou Qihang was tidying up his things. Just then, Chen Yu's phone rang. At first, Zhou Qihang didn't pay much attention, but after it rang for a while, he glanced at it casually...

温？

Judging from the profile picture... it's a woman.

"Uko!"

"You have a voice message request on WeChat," Zhou Qihang called out towards the bathroom.

"oh..."

"Don't worry about it."

"I'll call back later."

Chen Yu's voice came from the bathroom, slightly muffled... he must be brushing his teeth.

The ringing stopped quickly, and Zhou Qihang didn't notice, continuing to pack his things. But just then... Chen Yu's phone rang; it was a WeChat notification.

Zhou Qihang glanced at it again; it was from the woman named "Wen," and the message was displayed in the middle of the screen.

[Silly boy, are you still asleep?]

What the hell!

Is that such an ambiguous way of addressing someone?

You silly goose... don't you realize the relationship between the other person and Chen Yu?

Based on his own experience, Zhou Qihang sensed a hint of adultery in the air.

Furthermore, based on the profile picture displayed when we had a voice call... the other person is definitely no less than thirty years old.

Tsk tsk tsk—

I really couldn't tell!

That guy, Yuko... doesn't want to suffer at all!

I'll cook for you tonight.

Whoops!

It's already developed to this extent?

Zhou Qihang was shocked. Chen Yu usually spent his time in the lab or playing games in his dorm. He never expected that... Chen Yu was secretly doing something earth-shattering!

and many more...

Did Yu Zi sprain her ankle?

Zhou Qihang frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion, while his mind was filled with the symbolic meaning of steel wool.

His foot...

It's not as simple as just twisting your ankle!
