Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

7 PM, Room B102, Building B, Basic Teaching Building.

As the school bell rang, nearly 300 students from seven first-year classes entered the classroom one after another.

Classroom B102 has a maximum capacity of 300 people, and the total number of students in the seven classes is 279. Logically, there should be plenty of seats left over, but when Liang Chao entered, he found that except for the first row in the middle, almost all the other seats were full.

Liang Chao sat down in the third-to-last row of the classroom.

I looked up and saw the older sister on the podium, dressed in a business suit, her lips tightly pressed together, her hands trembling slightly with nervousness.

Unconsciously, doubts began to arise.

Almost subconsciously, his gaze fell on the first row on both sides, and he immediately noticed many unfamiliar old and middle-aged Dengs.

He even saw two men in vests carrying photography equipment as they walked into the classroom.

Good heavens! No wonder there was such a big fuss, with 300 people attending the class and the schedule being changed at the last minute!

So it turns out they were going to give the leaders a "psychological lesson"!

Liang Chao was somewhat speechless.

Suddenly, an old man with a slightly bald head, whose appearance was somewhat familiar to Liang Chao, stood up abruptly, stared at Yang Shuxi, and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Hey~ you there... Ms. Yang, what's wrong with your class? Is no one sitting in the first row in the middle?"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire classroom fell silent.

Yang Shuxi's expression changed, and she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, not knowing how to explain.

Is it a tradition in our college that no one has sat in the first row in the middle of this classroom for several years?

Wouldn't that mean the end?

Finally, she could only manage a forced smile, looking at the group of students with a slightly pleading expression.

"Students in the middle, can we all move forward a little?"

After he finished speaking, the classroom fell silent again.

The students in the second row looked at each other, and were about to get up.

Suddenly, the two men in vests looked around and finally set up the camera on the left and right sides of the first row, directly facing the first row in the middle!

Damn, they took a close-up shot of my face!

Baozi, sitting in the second row, suddenly changed her expression, quickly sat down, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Yang Shuxi: "..."

Ms. Yang was also taken aback by the two staff members. She forced a smile and was about to start calling on students from her class.

"Um...the one from the Bioengineering class...uh..."

Just then, a tall young man suddenly stood up from the back row.

He squeezed through the crowd, strode to the first row, sat down in the middle, faced the camera, and gave a polite smile.

"Dear boss, I'm just a human being!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted something behind him.

"Where are the people in 404 and 403? Are they all dead? Get over here now!"

As soon as Liang Chao finished speaking, the seven boys immediately stood up.

They lowered their heads and shoved each other to get to the first row and sit down.

Then, they all looked up, smiled politely at the camera, and said in unison.

"Greetings, leader! We are all human beings!"

Everyone: "..."

After a brief silence, a burst of laughter erupted in the classroom, crackling and popping like a room full of small firecrackers.

"Pfft~ Hahaha~"

Liang Chao turned slightly to the side and glanced at the old man who was "making things difficult" for his "wife".

I thought the latter would lose face and criticize me, but the latter just smiled and didn't say anything.

Liang Chao suddenly felt bored and began to have some doubts.

[Could it be that this old man isn't the "villain"?]

"Quiet!!!"

The crisp sound rang out, and the firecrackers in the classroom gradually went silent. Liang Chao then sat up straight and looked at the podium.

When his gaze fell on Yang Shuyi, the latter, who was trying to suppress a laugh, immediately straightened her face after noticing the boy's gaze.

Without even looking at Liang Chao, he immediately turned on the multimedia player.

"Today's lesson isn't a last-minute 'psychological science' session... After entering university, students will no longer face only academic performance, but also GPA, research, competitions, cross-cultural communication, and more. The confusion and anxiety brought about by this multi-dimensional transition are all..."

On the podium, Yang Shuxi's voice was crisp and clear, getting straight to the point.

The course systematically explains the psychological problems that freshmen may encounter from multiple dimensions, including academic anxiety, dormitory conflicts, homesickness and depression, social avoidance, and hidden anxiety.

Logically speaking, her distinctive voice could easily distract students and was not suitable for guided mental health classes.

However, instead of reading from the PowerPoint presentation, she cleverly used an interactive design called "Scenario-based Thinking and Cross-group Viewpoint Collision" to avoid her vocal shortcomings and allow students to engage in "empathic communication".

For example, divide the classroom into "left zone" and "right zone", and randomly select students from both zones to engage in debates on different issues.

As a teacher, she doesn't judge right or wrong, but rather offers some ideas and guides students to think for themselves.

Suddenly, the mental health class, which should have been dull and boring, became incredibly interesting, and surprisingly, very few people were playing on their phones.

Liang Chao could tell that his older sister had put a lot of effort into preparing for this open class, but he just couldn't get into it.

The reason is that... for two whole hours, the older sister never called on him once, and there was no "teacher-student interaction" as expected.

[This shouldn't be! Even setting aside the fact that I just helped the older sister out of an awkward situation, she's never been this cold in our regular phone chats!]

[What exactly went wrong?]

Liang Chao remained sitting upright, appearing outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt somewhat disappointed.

As he pondered these thoughts, he gradually began to understand Ah Hao.

—I sat through the entire class without getting a single question from you. I didn't think you were ignoring me; it's just that three hours of class is too short.

Damn, I'm the one who's a simp?

Liang Chao wasn't the only one who wasn't paying attention in class; a certain student with pigtails was also absent-minded.

"Xiaoxue, don't you think Liang Chao has been acting really strange lately?" Xiao Jiayu glanced at her "male best friend" and frowned.

"Really?" Tang Xue looked up, glanced at Liang Chao, then quickly looked away, seemingly unconcerned.

"He's gotten a bit more handsome, but I haven't noticed anything else."

Similar to how Liang Chao didn't have a deep impression of her, her impression of Liang Chao was limited to the Nanji Ren T-shirt he wore at the beginning of the semester and the Coolpad phone that came with the campus card.

Tall, poor, somewhat handsome, and then... nothing.

"Jiayu, what do you think of this hair dryer?" She nudged Xiao Jiayu's arm and handed her her phone.

"HJ Pro 2000 hair dryer, didn't you want to get a new hair dryer? How about buying this one?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiayu glanced at it subconsciously, then frowned.

"1900? That's too expensive. It's just a hair dryer, why would it cost that much?"

"You can't say that. This is a high-end product launched by Hollywood celebrity hairstylists... uh..."

She was about to try to persuade him again when she saw that Xiao Jiayu had already turned around and started chatting with Li Zhiya.

Seeing this, Tang Xue had no choice but to put her phone away, her smile turning awkward.

She had a high school "best friend" with this hair dryer, and every time they had a "girls' get-together," the latter would "just" have finished washing her hair, which made her very uncomfortable...

What's even more frustrating is that in later "meetings," more and more women had just finished washing their hair.

She's the only one who didn't wash her hair... no, she didn't have an HJ Pro 2000 hair dryer!

She had hoped that if Xiao Jiayu bought it, she could use it too and save face in front of her girlfriends, but...

Thinking of this, Tang Xue's expression turned ugly.

She saw it all that day. Xiao Jiayu had a whole wardrobe full of cosplay outfits and sailor dresses, the cheapest of which cost two or three thousand yuan. He was not short of money at all.

[You live on over 3,000 a month and even have a secret stash of money, so what's a little hair dryer for me and everyone else? You're clearly rich, yet so stingy!]

Tang Xue pursed her lips and silently scanned the boys in the class.

Then, his gaze lingered on Jiang Zilang in the first row for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then looked away.

Jiang Zilang is very good-looking, but his family background is just average, and... he's really too short.

Beside her, Li Zhiya suddenly turned her head, glanced at Tang Xue, said nothing, and calmly looked back at the front row of the classroom.

This afternoon when I went to the bathroom, Tang Xue also asked me to change the hair dryer.

She ignored her.

Similarly, the girl with pigtails only cared about her "male best friend" and didn't have time to talk about hair dryers at all.

Recalling Liang Chao's recent unusual behavior, she couldn't help but ask Li Zhiya a question.

"Ya Ya, don't you think Liang Chao seems like a completely different person?"

She thought she would once again receive indifference from her best friend, but unexpectedly, after pondering for a while, Li Zhiya nodded her chin.

"Um."

A sense of pleasant surprise at being recognized welled up within Xiao Jiayu, and she unconsciously became more talkative.

"You noticed too, didn't you! He used to be so quiet and blushed easily, but now..."

The girl with pigtails had dimples and subconsciously wanted to "tell" her best friend about how Tony Leung made her cry, but she stopped herself from saying it.

"Especially this afternoon, he actually did that..."

Li Zhiya tilted her head and looked at Xiao Jiayu, seemingly curious.

"No...nothing! Let's listen to the lesson!" Xiao Jiayu stopped talking, stared straight ahead, and remained motionless.

Li Zhiya didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Xiao Jiayu for a while.

Xiao Jiayu's heart pounded as he was stared at, and he straightened his back ramrod straight.

Only after Li Zhiya shifted her gaze and looked at someone in front of her did she steal a guilty glance at Li Zhiya.

She knew that even if she told Li Zhiya about being an "experience officer," Liang Chao wouldn't really "punish" her; he might even be secretly pleased.

But for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to share this "secret" with her best friend.
