Su Ning, Yue Yun, and another roommate slowly walked in the direction Chu Chu pointed, their hearts aching with curiosity and anticipation. Passing through the bustling campus paths, they finally encountered Chu An, the man Chu Chu had mentioned. Chu An's figure was particularly dazzling in the autumn sun. In his early thirties, he was already the youngest professor at Rongjing University, an achievement that would have put any of his peers in the dust. Dressed casually in a white shirt with a gray sweater, well-tailored gray trousers, and a pair of clean sneakers, he exuded both scholarly composure and youthful energy, a striking sight on campus.
Just as Su Ning was about to ask Chu An's name, he found that Chu Chu had already waved goodbye to them with a sly smile and turned away lightly.
Su Ning looked at Chu Chu's receding figure, a playful smile on his lips. He then took out his phone and quickly took several photos of Chu An, muttering, "These days, school beauties are really not simple-minded. This man is obviously an elite in society, mature, steady, and full of charm. He is either a rich second-generation or the president of a listed company."
Yue Yun was listening with great interest and couldn't help but sigh, "Such a beauty will naturally have no shortage of suitors, and they have to be talented men who are both rich and handsome to be worthy of her. We ordinary people can only watch from afar." As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of envy and self-mockery.
After hearing this, Su Ning shook his head in disdain, a confident smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Don't be so discouraged, there are beautiful women everywhere. Zhao Qing has two beautiful women waiting to be married. Especially the one named Zhu Zhu, I've met her twice, she has a gentle personality and sweet looks, she's definitely your type. I've already got her contact information for you, and I'm waiting for the opportunity to introduce you two to each other."
When Yue Yun heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Really? That's great! I like gentle and virtuous girls. You must introduce them to me!"
Su Ning patted Yue Yun's shoulder and said with a hearty smile, "Don't worry, leave it to me. We are brothers, how can I not care about your lifelong event?"
At this moment, another boy chimed in, excitedly saying, "Speaking of which, there are so many beautiful girls in this year's freshman class! The forums are buzzing with people saying this is the most beautiful class in years. We can't let this opportunity go to waste. We have to have a passionate relationship to make our college years count."
Upon hearing this, Su Ning's lips curled up into a smile of deep approval. He nodded gently, his eyes gleaming with recognition and yearning for a youth without regrets. He laughed heartily and said, "You're right. Youth should be a chapter of giving it your all, leaving no regrets."
At this time, Yue Yun stood aside, a mischievous smile on his face, deliberately teasing: "Hey, kid, aren't you already taken? Why are you still here talking to us about the philosophy of youthful love without regrets?"
Su Ning's smile faltered slightly, a subtle hint of impatience and worry flashing across his eyes. He didn't directly respond to Yue Yun's joke, but pondered silently. Zhao Qing's unusual silence today made him feel uneasy. Throughout the day, whether it was calls or WeChat messages, there was no response at all. This sudden indifference made him wonder what Zhao Qing was thinking.
Su Ning was secretly struggling in his heart. He didn't believe Zhao Qing could really ignore him like this. Three days? He wanted to see how long Zhao Qing could hold out this time.

When Chuchu came to see Chuan, she saw from a distance that Chuan was carrying only some fruits and some snacks that girls liked to eat.
"Brother!" Chu Chu quickened her pace, her voice filled with a hint of joy. As she approached, she naturally took the bag from Chu An's hand and said jokingly, "Remember the last time we chatted, you seriously said that girls should eat less snacks because they were bad for their health. So, you bought some for yourself today?"
Hearing this, Chu An's lips curled up into a doting smile, and he explained, "It's different now. Don't you want to make new friends? These snacks are the 'secret weapon' to build closer relationships. Don't underestimate them. Sometimes, a small bag of snacks can quickly make you two become good sisters who can talk about anything."
"Hehe, big brother still understands me the best." Chuchu smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and then changed the subject, "Big brother, why are you so free today? Don't you have many classes?"
Chu An nodded, his tone relaxed: "Yes, there are only three classes today, which is a lot easier than usual. As for you, tomorrow is the weekend, do you have any special plans?"
Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "My roommates and I have decided to take a short trip nearby to see the scenery and relax. However, we haven't decided on a means of transportation yet. Big brother, can you lend me your car? My second brother's car is cool, but it's too flashy for us and not suitable."
Chu An thought for a moment and readily agreed: "It seems that the relationship between you dormitories is very good, which is good. As for the car, you can choose any. I think that coupe is quite suitable for you four girls. The space is just right and it is stable to drive."
Chuchu was even more delighted when she heard this. She smiled and said, "That's great. Thank you for your support, big brother! I was planning to pay for all the expenses of this trip myself. It can be regarded as a little ceremonial for the new semester."
Chu An raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with concern: "I remember Mom gave you 10,000 yuan as funding for the start of school. Is that enough?"
Chuchu waved her hand and said with a relaxed look, "Don't worry, big brother. Eating out doesn't cost much a day, and occasionally treating classmates to milk tea or coffee doesn't cost much either. Besides, you know that Dad Gu has always taught us to spend wisely, learn to invest, and learn to care. With his guidance, who in our family can really be short of money?"
Chu An was secretly relieved when he heard this. He gently touched Chu Chu's head, his eyes full of love: "I'm relieved that you think this way. However, you still have to remember that your identity is a bit special. When you go out, try to keep a low profile. Although the kidnapping case that shocked Rongjing five years ago has been a long time ago, you can't let your guard down."
Chu Chu hummed: "Of course I remember. I will be careful."
Her magic can destroy a city, so how could she be afraid of a few kidnappers?
Suddenly thinking of something, Chuchu asked again: "But, big brother, what happened to the kidnapped little boy? I was still young at that time and didn't pay much attention."
