Chapter 15 Do you really understand love?

Lin Hai was admitted to the hospital.

Ziyu's punch sent the already gloomy, thin, and fragile Lin Hai to the hospital.

I really don't understand. With such a weak constitution, he still wants to date and be a top. He can't possibly satisfy the needs of those horrible bottoms. I wonder how he got those womanizing rumors in his past life...

While silently complaining to herself, Ziyu walked heavily toward the guide's office with her phone recording the conversation.

Actually, he pressed the record button when he entered the counselor's office yesterday, and it continued until Lin Hai was hit by him and fainted and went to the hospital.

He specially reduced the noise in the recording and brought it to the counselor.

After all, he couldn't possibly give up the scholarship.

Ziyu was unaware that before he went to see his advisor, the advisor's office was filled with a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.

"If you make this mistake again, get out of here!" The middle-aged man with glasses said aggressively, banging the documents he was holding on the table. If he weren't busy, he would have loved to give the other man another good scolding.

The advisor, who had been so arrogant in front of the students, now stood there obediently like a quail, not daring to say a word.

The man glared at him and walked away angrily.

The counselor only had a chance to catch his breath after he had walked away.

He didn't get in through the proper exams. He was a troublemaker in his family since he was a child. If his family hadn't spent countless amounts of money to push him into university, he would have been able to stay here after graduation only by relying on his family's resources. He doesn't have any sense of caution in his words and actions. He just thinks that since he has the opportunity to manage others, he wants to control everything and make all sorts of sarcastic and threatening remarks about others.

Although he was not good at anything in terms of intelligence and character, he was very good at judging people. In just a few months, he figured out the personalities of the students in the class he was assigned to.

But he never imagined that he would misjudge the situation so quickly and end up in a trap.

He never imagined that Ziyu, who seemed so obedient and wouldn't fight back, would actually punch someone and end up in the hospital!

Now look what's happened. The Lin family's child has been beaten and hospitalized. As the counselor, he has failed in every aspect.

He's only got ahead because of connections; if he makes another mistake, even the strongest connections won't protect him.

With his eyes squeezed into tiny slits by his flesh, he carefully looked at Ziyu and Linhai's scores several more times.

That's right, if we take the overall test into account, Ziyu is the number one.

But the list has already been sent out. If he changes it now, where will he put his face?

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Just then, Ziyu arrived at the office.

"Oh dear, your recording is useless."

The counselor in front of me held a thermos cup, his tone trying to be gentle. He spoke slowly, word by word, "This comprehensive assessment problem was caused by your students not calculating it properly. Lin Hai's comments about money were just a conflict between you students. What does it have to do with the teacher?"

Ziyu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"When problems arise, you should take the initiative to solve them. You can't always resort to fighting. The school hasn't even settled accounts with you for causing trouble yet."

At this moment, only the counselor and Ziyu were in the office.

Seeing that Ziyu remained silent, the counselor gradually felt embarrassed.

Ziyu seems like an honest and well-behaved child, but there's always been a saying that you shouldn't easily anger an honest person.

If you anger an honest person, you'll only end up losing more than you gain.

The counselor swallowed hard. "You won't get the first-class scholarship, but second-class isn't bad either, is it? Second-class is worth five thousand yuan... As for this, I admit I also had a problem with not checking the scores in time. As punishment, I'll give you two thousand yuan myself, okay? Let's be forgiving. You even beat Lin into the hospital, didn't you? Their family didn't ask you for medical expenses..."

"No." Ziyu interrupted the counselor's incessant chatter. He put his phone back in his pocket, his tone cold, his beautiful eyes revealing disgust.

As expected.

He was just there to go through the motions and didn't expect his advisor to actually do anything.

He can no longer tolerate his advisor's insincere remarks.

"If you really can't solve it, I'll go to the academic affairs office."

Hearing this, the counselor became anxious: "Hey, why don't you listen to anything? I'm doing this for your own good. Even if you go to the academic affairs office, you can't change the list."

"But you can't help me, counselor, and I don't want you to pay for it yourself."

Ziyu sneered inwardly. Two thousand is enough? Then who will make up the one thousand he's still short?

Seeing that Ziyu wouldn't budge, the counselor's already short temper flared up even more: "Ziyu! Don't push your luck! Do you know that you injured the young master of the Lin family? If they want to make a fuss, you'll have to pay tens of thousands of yuan! And you still have the mind to worry about scholarships?"

"Why can't I be upset about something that's originally mine?"

As for Lin Hai, Zi Yu knew that Lin Hai wouldn't ask him for money; he just wanted to annoy Zi Yu.

The scholarship of eight thousand was not much money for Lin Hai. Although the Lin family looked down on him, they would not owe him money. Lin Hai was right. If Zi Yu liked him, he could indeed spend a lot of money on her.

But Ziyu wouldn't like him, and even if Lin Hai wanted to spend money on Ziyu, he wouldn't be able to.

"Ziyu!"

"Advisor, why don't you just speak your mind?" Ziyu sneered. "Are you afraid the academic affairs office will find out it was you who did this?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I'm just a counselor! Where do I get such power?" the counselor said sternly, but her imposing manner had already diminished.

Ziyu guessed correctly; he was indeed behind the comprehensive assessment score. Money makes the world go round. Even if his position prevented him from doing things openly, there were many things he could do behind the scenes. Besides, the comprehensive assessment score was entirely calculated by the students themselves.

Lin Hai gave him a full 100,000, which was pure cash, and there was a transaction involved.

This is also why the counselor did everything he could to prevent Ziyu from going to the academic affairs office. If someone there really wanted to investigate, he would be completely ruined just because of the money he received.

"Whether you have it or not, I'll go check and find out."

Seeing Ziyu turn to leave, the counselor couldn't hold back any longer.

He has been lazy and good-for-nothing since he was a child, and he has no skills. The position of counselor at University A was something he had to work hard to get by spending money and asking for favors. He is used to dealing with these obedient and law-abiding college students. If he loses this job, he has no skills to survive!

In a moment of panic, the counselor suddenly stood up from his seat and grabbed Ziyu's shoulder with his greasy hand. Seeing the messy pile of things in the office, the counselor, caught off guard, twisted his foot and increased the force of his grip. Ziyu did not expect the counselor to be so desperate and staggered forward several steps!

Right in front of Ziyu was a wooden table with sharp edges!

If you keep hitting your head like that, you'll either die or suffer a serious head injury!

Ziyu's eyes widened.

[Helpful assistant!]

"I'm here." The mechanical voice sounded, and Ziyu saw a soft light appear on the corner of the wooden table—that was the protection set up by the assistant—at the same time, the sound of the door being urgently turned open rang out.

Ziyu's head slammed hard against the corner of the wooden table, and he fell to the side.

Fortunately, the assistant reacted quickly, and the protective barrier saved Ziyu's head in time, but his forehead was still scratched and bleeding.

It looks quite serious.

Otherwise, with that hard impact, Ziyu would have to start his third playthrough.

"Ziyu!"

A familiar voice came from the doorway, and Qin Yuzhen's tall figure appeared at the entrance.

The counselor was clearly shocked by the scene and stood there frozen in place.

"What, what, why were you walking in such a hurry?" The counselor reflexively shifted the blame, saying to Ziyu, "Look, you've hurt yourself now..."

Qin Yuzhen embraced Ziyu, his face filled with solemnity and worry.

"Ziyu, Ziyu?"

He was here today because Haiyue called him and told him everything that had happened in the past two days.

No matter what, Haiyue was just an ordinary student at this point, and there was nothing he could do about the teachers at the school.

Moreover, Lin Hai's family was indeed more powerful than his, and after thinking it over, the only person he could contact was Qin Yuzhen.

Although Lin Hai said that Qinyu Town was in dire straits itself, Haiyue couldn't think of anyone else besides Qinyu Town.

Qin Yuzhen saw Ziyu shaking his head while covering his head, but his nervousness had not lessened at all.

These are all different from my previous life.

He still remembered that in his previous life, Ziyu had always been the recipient of the school's first-class scholarship.

Ziyu has always been outstanding, and he knows it very well.

It was because of his memories from his previous life that Qin Yuzhen asked Ziyu to go back to school and study hard, but he never expected that such a thing would happen.

Was all of this caused by his return?

The butterfly effect?

The heart of Qinyu Town sank lower and lower.

Compared to Qin Yuzhen's inner thoughts, Ziyu's inner thoughts at this moment are much easier to understand.

Why would Qinyu Town appear at this time?

Shouldn't he be dealing with company matters?

"I won't hold this against you today..." The counselor couldn't wait for them to leave. He recognized Qin Yuzhen, the eldest son of the Qin family. Although there were rumors that the eldest son of the Qin family had broken ties with his family because he came out as gay, anyone with a brain knew that was impossible. The counselor watched with trepidation as Qin Yuzhen fawned over Ziyu. "You guys should leave now!"

No one had ever told him that Qin Yuzhen's partner was Ziyu.

"Hurry up and leave?" Qin Yuzhen frowned as he looked at the heavily pregnant instructor.

His tone was calm, yet inexplicably oppressive. Qin Yuzhen, supporting the still-shocked Ziyu, said coldly, "I never knew that maliciously hurting someone meant for the victim to give way."

"Hey you guys..." the counselor said anxiously.

"We will get to the bottom of this." Qin Yuzhen didn't want to say more to the counselor. He helped Ziyu and walked out, leaving the counselor behind calling out to him.

Ziyu was taken away in a fog.

He fell down inexplicably, and appeared inexplicably.

Now they've inexplicably left again.

After Qin Yuzhen took Ziyu out of the teaching building, he had the driver come to pick her up. Ziyu only came to her senses after they got into the car to go to the hospital.

How did you know where I was?

Ziyu asked impatiently.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yuzhen told him everything Hai Yue had told him.

After listening, Ziyu understood.

So it was Haiyue... It really was. Actually, Ziyu had already thought of a plan. No matter what, Ziyu would take this matter to the Academic Affairs Office. In the end, he would definitely not be the victim who ended up with a mess.

But it's fine if Qinyu Town comes, anyway, it won't make a difference in the end.

The scumbag seme reluctantly helped the scumbag uke once, and from then on the scumbag uke became even more devoted to him. This kind of plot is acceptable.

"Is everything alright at the company?"

"Does your head still hurt?" The two asked almost simultaneously.

Ziyu was taken aback, not expecting the other person to care about him.

Qin Yuzhen looked even more distressed, a pang of pain in his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, how much such targeting had Ziyu endured? He had always known Ziyu to be gentle and kind. Looking at Ziyu's calm face, perhaps she had long been accustomed to all of this... He was completely unaware, still immersed in his past life's understanding, believing that as long as he gave all his money to Ziyu and let her work less and focus more on her studies, she would be fine.

In reality, those who target Ziyu are still targeting him.

Even when his son Ziyu was injured and bleeding, he still cared about his career.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Qin Yuzhen said in a somber tone.

In Qin Yuzhen's fantasy of being bullied countless times, the actually weak Ziyu met Qin Yuzhen's gaze again. He clearly saw the slight, suppressed pain in Qin Yuzhen's dark eyes, and a strange feeling slowly welled up in Ziyu's heart.

—Has this scumbag seme lost his mind?
