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

The mature female vice-principal stared straight at him, her long eyelashes still trembling slightly. The shame in her eyes hadn't faded, but she forced herself to maintain the air of a vice-principal, her voice both urgent and soft, as she said angrily, "Believe it or not, I'll expel you?"

Looking at Wen Yan's flushed cheeks and her pretentious but utterly intimidating demeanor, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh and say, "Anyway, my life has already been worthwhile. So what if I get fired?"

"you--"

Wen Yan was immediately speechless. She had thought of her big boy, whose gentle appearance hid a mischievous heart, but she hadn't expected him to be so unserious. But to be honest... she quite liked his bad boy vibe.

"Release your grip quickly..."

"Otherwise...otherwise I'll get angry." As she spoke, she pushed his chest hard.

Chen Yu didn't continue to make things difficult for her. He slowly released his arms and gently slid his hands across her waist. The mature female vice principal, now free, hurriedly moved to the side to create a safe distance between herself and him. She frantically straightened the hem of her clothes and then raised her hand to brush her hair.

"What are you looking at?"

Noticing someone's gaze fixed on her, Wen Yan merely glanced at him and warned him in a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, and... don't overthink it."

Chen Yu pursed his lips and honestly replied, "How could I possibly have such wild thoughts? After all, you hugged me even tighter than I did just now."

indeed...

During their embrace, although Chen Yu pulled her into his arms, what happened next... made Wen Yan seem more like the one who took the initiative. She wanted to become one with Chen Yu, and even though there was no space left, she still squeezed in.

"I..."

"I don't!"

Wen Yan hurriedly turned her head away, her brows furrowed with shame, and said angrily, "The situation was so...so critical at the time, even if I had taken some initiative, it would have fallen under the category of emergency avoidance from a legal perspective. But you're different...you clearly...you..."

Actually, the mature female vice principal had some suspicions... that the little rascal's roommate might have left long ago, or even that he might not have had a roommate at all. Anyway, it was all one side of the story. Of course... Wen Yan wouldn't develop any bad impressions of him because of this, just a little bit of resentment.

but...

Wen Yan pursed her lips and muttered softly, "I feel like you're getting naughtier and naughtier."

The word "bad" here sounds like a derogatory term, but it actually carries a hint of a positive connotation.

Chen Yu subconsciously touched his nose and said softly, "I don't know why I'm like this, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to control. It's like when I was a kid... when I was with a girl I liked, instead of being attentive to her, I would do all sorts of bad things to her..."

Sugar-coated bullets...

He accurately hit the softest spot in the heart of the mature female vice principal.

Wen Yan turned her head away, not looking at him, but sitting there quietly, gazing at the bustling night view across the river, feeling the gentle breeze blowing against her face and ruffling her hair.

"tomorrow..."

"I'm going on a long trip," the mature female vice principal said leisurely.

Are you going on a business trip?

"How long will it take?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Wen Yan shook her head and murmured, "Going on a trip... I don't know how long I'll be gone. Maybe I'll be back soon, or maybe I'll stay for two months."

Hearing her words, Chen Yu felt a pang of reluctance and softly said, "Then be careful..."

"..."

"Oh... I understand."

The mature female vice principal didn't expect Chen Yu's answer to be only five words. Suddenly, she felt a little empty inside. Actually, she wanted to hear someone's reluctance to part, but instead, she heard his decisiveness. For a moment, she felt a wave of grievance. She didn't know what she was feeling wronged about, but she just felt very uncomfortable.

"I'd really like to go with you."

"I'll help you carry your things, take photos for you, buy you delicious food, and even protect you, Sister Wen..." Chen Yu shrugged, leaned back slightly, and muttered helplessly with his hands on the bench, "But my research project is too stressful. Professor Shen gave me a very heavy task."

These words were like a pair of scissors, instantly cutting open the knot in the mature female vice principal's heart. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her full red lips slightly parted, and said, "You should stay at school and do your research properly, don't run around like that. Also, you should take care of your foot..."

"Um..."

Chen Yu responded and then moved his buttocks closer to her.

Wen Yan reacted instantly, a hint of panic in her eyes, and said with embarrassment and annoyance, "Why are you coming closer?"

"I'm about to die..."

"Move a little closer, or you'll fall off," Chen Yu replied earnestly.

The mature female vice principal leaned back, looking at the empty seat on his side. It was clearly quite spacious, yet he claimed he was about to fall off. For a moment, she was both amused and exasperated. This little rascal... even his excuses were so casual.

Not knowing what the man was up to, I decided not to give him any chance and slowly stood up, saying softly, "That's enough... it's time to go back."

......

......

Instead of letting Chen Yu stay overnight, they sent him back to school.

The two did not exchange many words along the way, maintaining a silent relationship.

In fact, Wen Yan really wanted to talk to him, but she couldn't find a suitable topic. This made her realize that... even if she crossed the barriers of age and status, that invisible wall still existed.

"Sister Wen?"

"Can't you and Professor Shen make up?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.

"..."

"Our relationship is more complicated than you think," Wen Yan said softly, pursing her lips. "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable being caught in the middle?"

Uncomfortable?

It's worse than death!

But then again... if you two really make up, I might suffer an even worse fate, right?

In my mind, I wanted them to make up quickly and stop arguing every time they met, but deep down I actually wished they would fight every time they met, because only in this way could we achieve a balance between them.

"It's alright."

Anyway...

He glanced furtively at the mature female vice principal who was driving, and said in a serious tone, "I'm on your side!"

If I'm with Wen Yan in private, I'll definitely support her unconditionally. If I'm with Shen Yanru, I'll support her unconditionally. They say the world is gray, with no absolute black and white, and the same goes for the world of relationships...

Wen Yan didn't say anything, but a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. This little rascal was indeed a wise man who knew when to yield.

quickly,

We arrived at a place about 100 meters from the school gate.

After Wen Yan parked the car, she waited for him to get out, but the little rascal next to her unbuckled his seatbelt and didn't get out for a long time.

"Aren't you going back yet?"

The mature female vice principal asked softly.

Just then...

Chen Yu suddenly leaned closer, and before Wen Yan could react, a soft and warm touch came from the side of her cheek. It was as fast as a gust of wind and as light as a feather, but it hit her heart hard.

Right now,

The car was eerily quiet.
