Lin Ruoyan smiled and adjusted her glasses, her excuse already perfectly prepared: "I'm sorry, I just transferred from high school to Haizhou University to be the deputy director of academic affairs. Coincidentally, your music college counselor is on leave, so I'll have to temporarily take on the role of your counselor as well."
"Your power is truly astonishing! You can even accomplish something like this?" Ning Jiaqi mercilessly exposed Lin Ruoyan's lie, her tone revealing a hint of sarcasm.
Lin Ruoyan feigned innocence, blinking her big eyes as she said, "Ning, what are you talking about? I got into this university based on my own hard work and talent! Just like you!"
Ning Jiaqi's face turned ashen upon hearing this. She had thought she could finally get rid of this future "sister-in-law," but she never expected Lin Ruoyan to be such a devoted "brother-supporting demon," following Lin Chen wherever he went!
Ning Jiaqi thought to herself, if she and Lin Chen really got together in the future, would Lin Ruoyan have to be there to give "on-site guidance" when they shared a room at night?
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
Seeing Ning Jiaqi's impending outburst, Lin Ruoyan remained remarkably calm. After all, this was exactly the effect she wanted! She wanted to infuriate Ning Jiaqi to the point of no return!
Lin Ruoyan also had her own selfish motives. She knew that although she was also a goddess-level teacher with many suitors wherever she went, she had never caused such a sensation as Ning Jiaqi.
In less than a month since the start of the semester, countless people have confessed their feelings to Ning Jiaqi. Among them are handsome and wealthy students, as well as young and talented professors.
These scenes made Lin Ruoyan feel extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't really want to compete with Ning Jiaqi, but as a woman, her innate vanity and tendency to compare herself to others still made it hard for her to let go. Coupled with Lin Chen's influence, Lin Ruoyan became increasingly determined to rival Ning Jiaqi!
Fortunately, Ning Jiaqi is currently a student, while Lin Ruoyan is the deputy director and counselor, giving her plenty of opportunities to "take care" of Ning Jiaqi. As for Ning Jiaqi, the reason she hasn't yet taken any "violent" action against Lin Ruoyan is simply because she's unaware that Lin Ruoyan has arranged for another girl to be Lin Chen's roommate!
Moreover, this girl is also her best friend Yang Meixi's "good friend"!
If Ning Jiaqi knew about this relationship, she would probably tear Lin Ruoyan to pieces on the spot!
"You'd better watch yourself and don't mess with me." Ning Jiaqi gave Lin Ruoyan a cold look, then brushed past her, deliberately bumping into her.
“You too~” Lin Ruoyan wasn’t angry at all, but instead replied with a smile.
Lin Chen, hiding in the shadows, witnessed all of this. To be honest, he was just as agitated as Ning Jiaqi!
"Alright, stop hiding there like a coward. Come out right now!"
Lin Chen thought he had hidden himself well, but he didn't expect Lin Ruoyan to still discover him. He couldn't help but sigh, "No one knows a brother better than his sister!"
"If I were a turtle, then you would be a bitch!" Lin Chen retorted without any hesitation.
Are you implying that I can sleep with anyone?
Lin Chen thought that these words would make Lin Ruoyan angry, but he didn't expect that she didn't care at all.
"Don't worry, my dear little brother. If it really comes down to it, I'll definitely let you go first, okay?" Lin Ruoyan said with a smile.
"Do you even know how to spell the word 'shame'?" Lin Chen was speechless at Lin Ruoyan's shameless behavior.
"My dear brother, have you ever thought that since we're not related by blood, anything is possible?" Lin Ruoyan adjusted her glasses, hugged her book to her chest, and said very seriously.
At this time, girls were frequently entering and leaving the dormitory. Lin Chen heard them calling Lin Ruoyan "Director Yao" or "Teacher Yao." He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This Lin Ruoyan has so many names! What will she call me this time?"
"Hey Lin Chen, you don't even know your counselor's name? Okay, okay, considering you missed military training for various reasons and only managed to attend one class now, I'll forgive you for now. But remember, my surname is Yao, and my given name is 'Shuang'. Don't forget that."
"Yao Shuang? That's an interesting name. Does it mean 'want' to make people feel good? I say, Teacher Yao, you've chosen a really unrestrained name. It makes people's imaginations run wild!" Lin Chen teased.
"Lin Chen, how about you let your teacher have some fun?" Lin Ruoyan replied with a smile, a hint of slyness in her eyes.
Lin Chen sensed that the conversation was getting out of control and was beginning to veer in an unpredictable direction. He glanced at Lin Ruoyan and noticed that she seemed a little off tonight.
Lin Chen pondered to himself, what could have triggered Lin Ruoyan to cause such a loss of composure? He decided to activate his Eye of Insight to find out.
It turned out that after Lin Ruoyan returned to the Lin family from high school in the county town, she had a serious conflict with her family because of Lin Chen. She had heated arguments with her parents, Lin Ruoyue, and Lin Yiming. Lin Ruoyan increasingly felt that there must have been a misunderstanding about Lin Chen's departure, and even began to suspect whether Lin Ruoyue and Lin Yiming had really deliberately framed Lin Chen.
As a result, Lin's mother, in a fit of rage, slapped Lin Ruoyan hard across the face! This slap not only struck Lin Ruoyan's face, but also her heart.
Not only that, Lin Ruoyan also secretly investigated Lin Yiming and discovered that he seemed to have close ties with some criminals and had recruited a number of thugs. A large sum of money that passed through his hands also went missing. These discoveries were unacceptable to Lin Ruoyan; she felt as if she were trapped in a huge whirlpool from which she could not escape.
Lin Yuanhe, believing that Lin Ruoyan had betrayed the family, cut off her monthly allowance of 200,000 yuan! He also threatened that he would only give her money if Lin Chen was brought back, otherwise he would not even give her any of the family property!
In a fit of anger, Lin Ruoyan left the Lin family and came to Haizhou University, where she became the deputy director of academic affairs and a counselor by virtue of her own "ability".
After learning the truth, Lin Chen felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Ruoyan. He hadn't expected that this seemingly strong woman harbored so much bitterness and hardship.
"It seems you've been through quite a shock!" Lin Chen said softly.
"Lin Chen, I misunderstood you before, I'm sorry. Now I understand, only by joining forces can we protect ourselves," Lin Ruoyan said sincerely.
"Join forces? Join forces for what?" Lin Chen asked, feigning confusion.
