[Chu Kuangren: Sister Qin?]

[Chu Kuangren: I wasn't checking my phone just now...]

[Girl: Do you think I'd believe you? (rolls eyes)]

[Chu Kuangren: I suddenly remembered that we freshmen also had evening self-study sessions]

[Chu Kuangren: Evening self-study ends at nine o'clock, it's a bit too late, I'm afraid I can't live off-campus with you anymore]

[Qin Girl: I was in charge of supervising evening self-study last week, and I don't think I saw you in the self-study room even once]

[Chu Kuangren: Back then, I had just entered university and didn't yet understand the importance of studying.]

[Chu Kuangren: Oh wait, you're in charge of supervising evening self-study?]

[Qin Girl: My academic tutors and I take turns watching your classes, it costs ten yuan a night]

[Girl: Perfect timing, we can go home together then!]

Zhou Chu was speechless.

He never expected that even his perfect excuse would be useless.

Must we simply submit to her tyranny?

Forget it, this kind of thing is too much of a headache. I'll just go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then I should go to the classroom.

There are two full classes in the afternoon, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.!

Of course, the classes that can be held in the afternoon are mostly easy ones; he might even manage to write a chapter while things are still going smoothly.

"What a coincidence!" He had just finished getting his food on the first floor of the cafeteria when he was patted on the shoulder.

That's right, it's Gu Man, who's obsessed with photography.

But it looked dirty, with mud stains on its shoes and trouser legs.

His long hair, damp with sweat, clung to his forehead, and his clothes were soaked through and stuck to his body.

With a camera hanging around his neck, he looked like he was out taking photos.

Wait, no, she's clearly from the photography department, so the field trip has nothing to do with her, right?

Gu Man sat down opposite him very naturally.

"Are you perhaps helping the farmers with their work?"

Although she was covered in sweat, she didn't smell bad at all; on the contrary, she had a natural fragrance from the soil and sunshine.

Gu Man took the camera off her neck, opened it, and pushed it towards him: "Which one do you think looks better?"

It's full of all kinds of farmers, photographed from various angles.

Where is this?

"West of the school... less than ten kilometers away by bike, there's a huge expanse of farmland!"

"Both are good." Zhou Chu swiped the camera around a few times, then pushed it back. "Don't you have class today?"

"No!" Gu Man ate quickly, her words slightly slurred: "Do you and Sister Qin have time this weekend?"

"Anyway, I don't have any." Zhou Chu shook his head and then nodded. "Sister Qin should have some. You can ask her."

Weekends are the best time for writing! How could he possibly do anything else?

However, if she could bring Gao Qinyi along, he could focus on writing his book without disturbing her!

"Really not?" Gu Man adjusted her glasses, feeling like they were about to fall off due to the slippery feel of sweat.

"Wipe yourself properly." Zhou Chu took out some tissues from his pocket, placed them in front of her, and picked up his plate to leave.

"See you this weekend!" Gu Man shouted from behind.

"I won't see you." Zhou Chu didn't turn around, but waved his hand.

Gu Man looked at the tissues on the table, tore a slit in them, and pulled out a sheet.

Although Zhou Chu may seem like a stubborn and unyielding straight man, he is actually quite considerate.

No wonder Gao Qinyi, who disliked her own brother, fell for him!

After a whole afternoon of English instruction, Zhou Chu was lying limply on the bed.

He never really liked English to begin with, but now he has to deal with it almost every day.

"Brother Zhou, aren't you going to evening self-study again?" Sun Yao's voice came from under the bed.

Although he is usually quite unreliable, he is unusually serious when it comes to studying.

Evening self-study usually starts around 6 p.m.

Going now would be the perfect time.

Zhou Chu was about to refuse, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally got up and said, "No, I want to go!"

"Really?" Sun Yao's eyes widened, and he shouted to his remaining two roommates, "Brother Zhou is going to evening self-study! Brother Zhou is going to evening self-study!"

"Did you know that a super pretty girl has been joining our evening study sessions lately?"

"Seriously? You already have our class advisor, don't you need to compete with us for Wan'er?"

"If you try anything with Wan'er, don't blame us for being heartless and telling our class advisor."

"Do you think I'm that boring?" Zhou Chu grabbed his backpack and put an arm around his roommates' shoulders. "Of all the waters in the world, I won't take a single drop."

"Brother Zhou, you're doing a great job."

"As expected of our Brother Zhou."

Sun Yao gave him a wink.

"how?"

Do you know who this Wan'er is?

"have no idea."

How could he know who Wan'er is?

He might still know about Shangguan Wan'er.

"It's that girl from the ping-pong hall last time, the one I almost hit with my ball!" Sun Yao's face was full of longing. "Although you returned the ball, it felt like it struck my heart..."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, seemingly about to lean on Zhou Chu.

"Disgusting." Zhou Chu couldn't help but take a step back. "Go find your Wan'er. The reason I went to evening self-study was actually to avoid Sister Qin... you know, Gao Qinyi, our class teacher."

"Goodness, they're so close now? And Sister Qin?" Sun Yao said, as if he had eaten a lemon. "Tell me quietly, what exactly did you and Gao Qinyi do last night? You're the first person in our dorm to stay out all night."

"I didn't do anything."

How could I possibly tell him what Gao Qinyi did to me last night?

This is all for Sun Yao's own good. If he really knew what Sister Qin had done to him, he would probably go and buy lemons right there and then.

For his physical and mental well-being, let him know nothing.

Two bicycles arrived at the foot of the teaching building, one after the other.

This is the landmark of the new campus, a towering building of twenty-six stories, which is no less impressive than the main peak of the distant mountain range.

Liancheng, as a coastal city, has a standard plain terrain with very low mountains.

The mountains are still lush and green now, but they will turn red in a few days.

This is also the most famous view of the new campus – the mountains are ablaze with red.

Let's go.

He turned to look at Sun Yao, only to find that his gaze was fixed on the girl in front of him, unable to move.

Even though it was just a view from behind, he could roughly tell who the girl was.

Besides Ye Wan'er, who else could make Sun Yao so obsessed?

Although she was pretty, Ye Wan'er was the shy, obedient type, which wasn't really Zhou Chu's type.

She's clearly far inferior to Sister Qin in terms of temperament!

Of course, this doesn't mean he likes Sister Qin; it's just a simple comparison of their types.

Zhou Chu nodded secretly; it must be so.

Even if we're to be together, we have to wait until I become a god...
