Although Zhu Xiaoqin spoiled Zhao Yanyan without any limits, she was at least reasonable.
She fetched hot water for Zhao Yanyan and repeatedly told her daughter to control her temper, watch her mouth, and not to have any conflicts with Shen Jingyan.
While the three girls were out fetching water, Zhu Xiaoqin asked:
"Yan Yan, I heard you had your advanced math exam today? How many points did you get?"
Zhao Yanyan mumbled, "It's alright. The old man who teaches advanced mathematics has very high standards. He criticized a lot of students, which made everyone very nervous during the first class!"
Zhu Xiaoqin frowned when she heard Zhao Yanyan refer to Professor Wei as "old man".
"Yan Yan, you must respect your university professors. Do you know that Professor Wei is one of the best professors at Imperial University? You should study diligently, communicate with Professor Wei more often, go to his office to ask questions, and improve your grades!"
Zhao Yanyan listened with great impatience, agreeing verbally but inwardly despising Professor Wei.
He's just a stinky old schoolteacher, isn't he? How dare he embarrass her in public! She'll hold this grudge for the rest of her life!
Before leaving, Zhu Xiaoqin earnestly instructed, "Yanyan, you finally got into Imperial University. Don't put all your thoughts on Gu Zhiyun. Anyway, he and Shen Jingyan won't get married anytime soon, so you still have a chance. Remember what your mother said: only by becoming more outstanding than Shen Jingyan can you make Gu Zhiyun look at you differently!"
Unfortunately, Zhao Yanyan didn't listen to a single word of these kind words.
She desperately wanted to snatch Gu Zhiyun away and marry him on the spot, so how could she possibly focus on improving her grades?
As luck would have it, after seeing Zhu Xiaoqin off, on her way back to the dormitory, she saw Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan chatting and laughing as they walked towards the girls' dormitory.
Gu Zhiyun carried the thermos for Shen Jingyan, while holding her hand tightly with his other hand.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she couldn't think of any good reason to separate the two of them.
They had no choice but to hide in a dark corner, stomping their feet and grinding their teeth.
Shen Jingyan took the thermos from Gu Zhiyun and took out two meat patties wrapped in newspaper from her pocket.
"Brother Yun, here's a late-night snack for you."
Gu Zhiyun took the meat pie and reluctantly held Shen Jingyan's hand.
"Going up so early, you won't even stay with me a little longer!"
Having grown accustomed to spending every day with Shen Jingyan, Gu Zhiyun felt very uncomfortable after only one day apart.
He finally understood what it meant to feel like "a day apart feels like three autumns".
He's already incredibly busy on his first day of class.
The courses at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics were packed, and he would go to the library at night to borrow books assigned by the professors that he had to read within a specified time.

If you calculate it this way, you'll have even less time to spend with his little girl in the future.
Seeing Gu Zhiyun's reluctant expression, Shen Jingyan had no choice but to use the same patience she would have used to coax a dog:
"How about I take the thermos upstairs first, and then we go to the library to look at some books?"
Gu Zhiyun readily agreed, "Okay, then go quickly!"
No sooner had Shen Jingyan left than Zhao Yanyan darted out and approached Gu Zhiyun, saying:
"Brother Gu, I was just thinking of going to the library too! Let's go together!"
Gu Zhiyun strongly disliked the act of eavesdropping on other people's conversations.
He took a few steps back, keeping his distance from Zhao Yanyan.
He responded to her enthusiastic invitation with silence.
Zhao Yanyan was embarrassed for a while, then said, "Brother Gu, my calculus grades aren't very good. I have to retake the exam in two weeks. Could you help me review when you have time? Just a few hours on the weekend will do! Let's go to my house; it's quieter there."

Gu Zhiyun glanced at her coldly.
"I, a remnant of feudalism, should not step into the threshold of your noble intellectual family."
Although these words were not spoken with anger, they were like a resounding slap across Zhao Yanyan's face.
If it were any other girl, she would have run away covering her face in embarrassment, but Zhao Yanyan shamelessly said:
"Brother Gu, you've been around Shen Jingyan for so long, how come you've become so petty? My dad didn't mean to make things difficult for you, you have to understand his work! You've already gotten into school as you wished, so why are you always so calculating?"
She said these words with utter audacity and without the slightest remorse.
It's like the logic of a murderer: I may have killed you, but I'm already in jail, so what do you have to complain about?
Gu Zhiyun's eyes flashed with icy coldness, sending a chill down Zhao Yanyan's spine.
She dared not say anything more.
"Hey, Lao Gu, you're waiting for your wife again!"

Gu Zhiyun couldn't wait to get rid of Zhao Yanyan, this annoying leech. When he saw Yang Xuechang come over to greet him, he walked past Zhao Yanyan like a gust of wind.
Yang Xuechang carried a thermos in one hand, a lunchbox in the other, and a patched schoolbag bulging with books on his back.
"Brother Yang, are you bringing food to your wife again?"
Yang Xuechang smiled and nodded: "Shanshan gets hungry easily at night, but she is reluctant to spend money on food and always makes herself suffer."
Gu Zhiyun felt that Yang Xuechang was a model husband. It seemed that she should learn more from Yang Xuechang and treat his daughter better in the future.
"Old Gu, why is that woman always bothering you? I heard she's the principal's daughter, is that true?"
