Shen Jingyan sensed a hint of aggression in his tone and eyes.

She blushed and struggled a few times before Gu Zhiyun carried her to the small bed. Just as he was about to take further steps, there was a knock on the door.

"Zhiyun, Professor Xu called you!"

It was Fang Ru's voice; she sounded very anxious.

As if granted a pardon, Shen Jingyan patted Gu Zhiyun's heavily slumped shoulder and said, "Hurry up and go!"

Gu Zhiyun pecked her pink lips: "Wait for me to come back! Don't even think about running away!"

After opening the door, Fang Ru whispered, "Professor Xu sounds quite unhappy. Watch your words and don't upset the old man!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyan also hurriedly came out.

She and Gu Zhiyun exchanged a knowing glance, and they both knew why Old Man Xu was angry.

Gu Zhiyun didn't dare to delay and ran to answer the phone.

Chen Jingyan held his breath, nervously listening to what was happening beside him.

"Professor Xu? That's really rare. You actually remember my home phone number."

Gu Zhiyun made a joke.

"Don't try to joke with me, kid! Something this big happened, and you kept it all to yourself! I've treated you like my own grandson! Do you even respect me as your teacher?"

Old Xu immediately launched into a tirade of abuse, his voice so loud that Gu Zhiyun had to move the phone receiver far away.

Shen Jingyan heard Feifei's voice on the other end: "Grandpa, stop yelling, you scared me so much I forgot where I put the nitroglycerin pills!"

Gu Zhiyun always speaks with tact, knowing when to speak and when to keep quiet.

Old Xu was furious, and as a junior and student, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the scolding.

"You really don't value your future at all! You've suffered such a huge injustice, and you haven't even said a word? Jingya, you're usually so energetic, why don't you say a word for you at this crucial moment?"

When Shen Jingyan suddenly heard that she had also been included in the scolding package, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Professor Xu, please don't blame Jingya. I told her not to say it. She wanted to repeat a year with me, and we'll take the entrance exam for Beijing University again next year—"

Old Xu snorted heavily: "You won't say a word when I scold you, but you get upset if I say something to Jingya? You two are really something, not even telling me about something as important as repeating a grade!"

"Professor Xu, please calm down. I will still apply to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics next year."

"I disagree! Wasting a year is a complete waste of time!"

Old Xu said angrily, "You two just wait. I'll settle this matter tomorrow. If I don't see you two on the first day of school, I'll move the entire School of Aeronautics and Astronautics to your house!"

Although Old Man Xu spoke with shouts and curses, it warmed Gu Zhiyun's heart.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ru quickly stepped forward to express her gratitude: "Professor Xu, you've really gone to so much trouble! My Zhiyun was just afraid of causing you any trouble..."

Upon hearing that it was Fang Ru, Old Xu's tone softened considerably: "Teacher Fang, you're being too polite! Xiao Gu is a talent I painstakingly recruited. Would I easily let him go? No way! No one can object. Xiao Gu must be a student of my Aerospace Engineering Academy!"

Gu Zhiyun was extremely grateful: "Professor Xu, I will definitely come to apologize in person another day."

Old Xu gave a haughty "humph": "Is that even a question! You and Jingya both have to apologize to me!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "You wait for my news at home tomorrow. I want to meet with Principal Zhao in person!"

He was about to hang up when Feifei grabbed the phone from him.

"Brother Gu, could you ask Brother Yang if he can come to my house with you? I have a lot of questions to ask him."

Gu Zhiyun: "..."

Old Xu tapped Fei Fei's forehead with his knuckles and roared angrily, "That kid is already in military training! He won't be able to leave the school for two months. Give me a break! What are you thinking, little girl!"

Feifei said "Oh" in disappointment, then said goodnight and hung up the phone.

Gu Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and his handsome face was much brighter than before.

Originally, he didn't want to trouble Old Man Xu, but he greatly underestimated his importance in Old Man Xu's heart.

Although Old Xu scolded him harshly, he felt comforted and full of hope.

Fang Ru was also happy: "Professor Xu cares so much about you, we must also try our best, we can't let Zhao Guangsheng lead us by the nose!"

Gu Zhiyun felt a sense of relief and turned to Chen Jingyan, saying, "Jingya, I'm really a little hungry."

...

Today is the registration day for new students at Imperial University, and the opening ceremony will be held in three days.

The opening ceremony is an unavoidable major event, and Zhao Guangsheng has been pondering at home these past few days how to write a message from the principal that is both elegant and official.

Zhu Xiaoqin went to work, and Zhao Yanyan was sitting on the sofa idly trimming her nails when she heard a knock on the door. She lazily got up and opened the door.

She saw two simply dressed old men standing at the door, exuding an air of poverty, and wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Who are you looking for?" she asked impatiently.
