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

Upon seeing the message from Professor Shen, Chen Yu was momentarily at a loss. Normally, he would have already gone to work overtime, but tonight was an exception... After all, Professor Shen's stepmother was cooking fried rice with eggs, how could he leave her unattended? Besides, he was really hungry.

[Chen Yu: I'm eating out. I'll come back to work overtime after I finish eating.]

Shen Yanru: ......

[Shen Yanru: Hurry up!]

After finishing with the mature female professor, Chen Yu put down his phone and looked back at the kitchen. Watching his stepmother busy at work, a hysterical desire surged through his mind.

or...

I'll work hard and try my best to become Professor Shen's father.

But this crazy idea only lasted a moment before he dismissed it. Putting aside the difficulty of marrying a mature female vice principal, just figuring out how to quell the professor's anger was beyond his ability to handle.

But then again,

It seems that marrying an older female professor is... less difficult than the former.

Shen Yanru is actually quite good too.

"..."

"No...it's me..."

Chen Yu abruptly snapped out of his reverie, shaking his head repeatedly and muttering, "Am I possessed by a pervert? Why is my mind filled with thoughts of marrying mature, wealthy women?"

Just as she was trying to repair her mental lapse, Wen Yan came out of the kitchen carrying a freshly made plate of fried rice.

"Xiao Chen."

"Come and eat."

Wen Yan called out softly.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yu hurriedly stood up and ran to the dining table. Looking at the fragrant fried rice in front of him, he could hardly believe that the school's vice principal had personally made it for him, especially since she was his mentor's stepmother.

about...

How to win the heart of an older woman?

Actually, you don't need too many skills or tricks; just be 100% sincere.

A simple plate of egg fried rice, which couldn't be more ordinary, made Chen Yu feel like he was eating a delicacy. The way he ate it so heartily... he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, afraid that someone would steal a single grain of rice.

The mature female vice principal sat to the side, watching the young man wolf down his food, a faint ripple stirring deep within her heart.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling; it was like a greedy treasure hunter who had traveled a long and arduous journey to finally find a rare treasure at his destination.

but...

Wen Yan didn't see Chen Yu as a source of emotional support; he was more like a repository for her emotions, a place to store her excess feelings, such as loneliness and boredom. After all, she held a high position and was at the age when women crave the most, yet she had no man by her side, which inevitably led to feelings of loneliness.

This loneliness is oppressive, deadly, and maddening; it erodes one's sanity and gradually leads to collapse.

"Is it tasty?"

Wen Yan asked softly.

"How should I put it..."

"This might be the best fried rice I've ever eaten in my life!" Chen Yu replied, his face beaming with enjoyment of the meal, though his words were slightly slurred.

And you know what...

The mature female vice principal loves this kind of thing.

Feeling pleased that her cooking skills were appreciated, she softly asked, "Would you like another bowl?"

"Is there anything else?"

Chen Yu asked curiously.

"That's all..."

"But it can still be done," Wen Yan replied.

"what?"

"Never mind...it's too much trouble, and I'm pretty full anyway."

After finishing the last grain of rice in his bowl, Chen Yu pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said with a satisfied look, "It's so delicious... After eating your fried rice, I probably won't even want to smell fried rice from outside anymore. It really proves the old saying... It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"

That brat...

He must have had quite a few girlfriends in school, otherwise how could he be so sweet-talking?

Wen Yan narrowed her eyes, carefully examining the young man beside her. He was strong and fair-skinned, and about to start his doctoral studies. Indeed, the girls at school would find it impossible to resist someone like him...

"Xiao Chen."

"Tell me the truth."

"How many girlfriends have you had?" Wen Yan asked seriously.

"No!"

"Really, not a single one!" Chen Yu hurriedly raised his right hand and said seriously, "I swear... if I ever had a girlfriend during my university years, may God strike me dead!"

The voice just fell,

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded from the sky.

Chen Yu was completely dumbfounded. After regaining his senses, he found the mature female vice principal looking at him meaningfully. He awkwardly explained, "The rainy season... is like this. Principal Wen, you don't think... this is a sign from God, do you?"

Wen Yan smiled and didn't say anything. She slowly stood up and said softly, "There's still some leftover rice. I'll cook it all up. You can take it back to eat. It's just that you won't be able to eat it hot."

Without giving anyone a chance to refuse, Wen Yan went into the kitchen.

Chen Yu couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking, but that was fine... After all, her age, her status, and her position were all there. If she could figure him out, that would be a problem.

......

......

Chen Yu originally wanted to go back alone, but the mature female vice principal insisted on escorting him.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Audi A8, Chen Yu and Wen Yan chatted about things at school, but it was mostly a question-and-answer session.

"In private..."

"Just call me Auntie," Wen Yan said softly.

"Well..."

"It would be better to call you 'sister,' after all, you're still so young," Chen Yu said.

Wen Yan didn't refuse, perhaps because she herself didn't want to face that awkward age.

quickly,

They dropped Chen Yu off at the school gate, but there was still more than a hundred meters to go.

Chen Yu could understand why she parked the car there. If she drove into the school and someone saw her getting out of Principal Wen's car, there would be some rumors, which would have a big impact on both sides, especially on that mature female professor... she would probably explode on the spot.

"Sister Wen?"

"Okay, I'm off then?"

Chen Yu unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the passenger door, and turned to speak to the mature female principal.

"Um..."

Wen Yan responded.

Watching the young man get out of the car and disappear into the night, Wen Yan, who was sitting in the car, lingered and did not leave.

I don't know if it's just my imagination?

Time with him always seems to fly by.

at the same time,

Chen Yu carried a plastic bag and headed straight for the laboratory building.

I could see the lights were on from afar, which meant that a certain mature female professor hadn't left work yet and was still waiting for me to work overtime in the lab...

"..."

"He's a full professor, yet he doesn't employ a bunch of lackeys and does all the work himself..."

However, Chen Yu was just making a casual comment. He knew that Professor Shen had a very important project recently, and it was almost finished. He could understand why Professor Shen would personally participate in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the final stage.

Upon arriving at the laboratory door, before he could even push it open, he heard curses coming from inside...

"With this attitude, you think you can graduate?"

"It's been almost an hour and a half..."

"Once he starts his PhD, I...I'll definitely make sure he finishes it five years later!"

Carefully closing the door, Chen Yu stood at the entrance, his face full of unease. The resentment inside was already overwhelming; going in would probably mean instant cremation.

What should I do?

Just as he was racking his brains, he suddenly noticed that he was carrying a bag of fried rice.

Got it!

......

......

Shen Yanru was furious. She had notified the other party to work overtime half an hour ago, but they still hadn't shown up.

suddenly!

The lab door was pushed open, and Shen Yanru, full of resentment, turned around abruptly, ready to give him a good scolding. But when she saw Chen Yu panting and carrying a plastic bag, she saw him panting heavily.

"Whoosh—"

"I'm sorry... Professor Shen, I'm late."

"I went to buy you some fried rice on the way, oh dear... the rice's still warm!"
