Nan Chen looked at He Lingchuan with a puzzled expression, and asked in a childish voice, "Why did you leave Mommy?"

Hearing Nan Chen's question, He Lingchuan understood.

He ruffled Nan Chen's hair and smiled as he changed the subject: "Dad was just asking casually."

He Lingchuan wanted to make up a casual topic to brush it off, but just as he was about to speak, he heard Beichen ask him in a childish voice, "Daddy, don't you live with Mommy anymore? Aren't you going to take care of us?"

Unlike Nan Chen, Bei Chen is more sensitive and perceptive, and is also the child most easily influenced by those around him.

He Lingchuan had been worried that Nan Chen would be bullied at school, but thankfully Nan Chen was there, so he could rest assured.

Upon hearing Bei Chen's words, Nan Chen immediately sat up, looking at He Lingchuan with a puzzled expression: "Dad, is what my brother said true? Are you really going to separate from Mom?"

He grabbed He Lingchuan's shoulders and shook him gently: "Dad, I don't want you and Mom to be separated."

He looked at He Lingchuan with an innocent expression and whispered his request: "Wouldn't it be better if we lived together forever? A happy family."

While waiting at a red light, He Lingchuan looked at his two children beside him. He pursed his lips and ultimately swallowed the words he wanted to say: "Don't worry, Dad will always be with you."

He ultimately couldn't give up on the children. Now, the two children leaned more towards Shen Yanxi, and He Lingchuan didn't dare to forcibly separate them.

The only thing he can do now is to spend more time with his child before Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan get married.

If they really do get married, I'll have no reason to continue living here.

He Lingchuan frowned, feeling heartbroken just thinking about it.

After dropping the child off at school, He Lingchuan returned to the lab to complete the handover.

Gu Chengze looked at He Lingchuan with regret: "You're just leaving like that? You really won't reconsider?"

He wanted He Lingchuan to stay more than anyone else; he was a rare genius.

He Lingchuan shook his head as he packed his things: "My staying will only cause trouble. Cao Xue and I, one of us has to leave."

This whole thing started because of him, so he can't just let Cao Xue leave.

Gu Chengze stroked his chin, looking annoyed: "It's all because of that Shen Yanxi. You're all divorced, why is she still haunting you?"

Gu Chengze put one hand on He Lingchuan's shoulder and boldly guessed, "Do you think he still has feelings for you?"

"How is that possible?"

He Lingchuan packed his things, sighed, and decisively dismissed Gu Chengze's guess: "She's with Zhou Mingyan every day now, how could she have time to care about me?"

Shen Yanxi's mind is entirely focused on Zhou Mingyan right now, how could she possibly still have feelings for him?

If it weren't for his insistence on taking the child away during this period, Shen Yanxi might still be deeply in love with Zhou Mingyan, enacting a scene of marital bliss.

After packing his things and handing over all his work, He Lingchuan looked at the laboratory with reluctance.

He left for Shen Yanxi back then, but he never expected the same thing to happen a second time.

Although this time it wasn't for a wedding, it was always related to Shen Yanxi, so it could be considered a special kind of fate.

He Lingchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I have a feeling I'll never come back."

Even if Gu Chengze invited him, he wouldn't have the face to do so.

Gu Chengze nudged He Lingchuan's shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can come back anytime after you've dealt with Shen Yanxi's situation."

He Lingchuan stared at Gu Chengze's face, his lips trembling, deeply moved.

He looked at Gu Chengze, nodded, and replied, "Okay."

After leaving the laboratory, He Lingchuan went to the school immediately.

The moment Professor Zhao saw him, the gloomy expression on his face instantly relaxed.

"You've finally figured it out."

Professor Zhao patted him on the shoulder: "You'll come to class with me tomorrow."

"So fast?"

He Lingchuan looked at the person in front of him with some surprise: "Professor Zhao, shouldn't I get used to the classroom first?"

"What do you have to adapt to? You can do everything they can, and you can do everything they can't. It's an honor for them to be their teaching assistant."

Professor Zhao patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder, showing his high regard for him.

Professor Zhao had always admired He Lingchuan. If he hadn't gone off to get married, he would definitely be a legend in the AI ​​field.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and Professor Zhao was so happy he could hardly stop smiling.

You could tell he was genuinely happy.

He Lingchuan was infected by Professor Zhao's smile. He pursed his lips a little shyly, and when he raised his head again, he had returned to his student state, full of vigor.

For a moment, Professor Zhao thought his memories had reversed.

He briefly explained the tasks a teaching assistant would need to do to He Lingchuan. Near the end, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at He Lingchuan, and said, "I have a new student here. He got in through connections."

He Lingchuan looked at Professor Zhao with some surprise: "Who is it?"

Professor Zhao has always been an upright and incorruptible person. Anyone who tries to get into his class through connections will not be valued by him and may even be looked down upon.

Just like now, even though he had never met this person before, He Lingchuan had the illusion that this person was unreliable.

"You know him, Zhou Mingyan."

"How could it be him?"

He Lingchuan's eyes widened immediately, staring at Professor Zhao in disbelief.

The person who got in through connections was actually him?

He Lingchuan was just wondering if Shen Yanxi would use her connections to get someone in, and he was right.

"Do you have a grudge against me?"

Professor Zhao sensed something was off about He Lingchuan's words and patiently questioned him.

He Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged as he gently shook his head: "They're just classmates I knew before, but we're not that close."

Professor Zhao gently patted his back: "Don't worry, I'll try my best not to put you together."

He Lingchuan was Professor Zhao's favorite student, and Professor Zhao would do his best to meet any of his needs.

...

On the day of class, He Lingchuan was the first to arrive.

As soon as he reached the school gate, he saw Shen Yanxi, who was bringing Zhou Mingyan to school.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, looked very well-matched.

"He Lingchuan?"

"Zhou Mingyan?"

Both of them were startled and called out each other's names simultaneously.

Zhou Mingyan, with a cold face, accused the villain first: "You really are a persistent ghost, why do you follow me wherever I go?"

He kept glancing at Shen Yanxi as he spoke, hoping she wouldn't misunderstand him.

Sure enough, as long as Zhou Mingyan acted pitiful, Shen Yanxi would take the bait.

She frowned at He Lingchuan and questioned him in a low voice, "He Lingchuan, what are you doing at this school? Didn't I tell you to go home and take good care of the children?"

"What's it to you? On the contrary, you, who got in through connections, aren't you ashamed?"
