Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

Upon hearing this, Jian Zhinian opened his mouth in astonishment. When had he ever done such a thing?

Jian Zhinian was only 24 years old at the time. He was pursued by Mu Xingchen for the first time and was helpless, so he agreed reluctantly.

After they confirmed their relationship, the young Mu Xingchen always loved to stick around him, as if asserting his sovereignty, and liked to tease and kiss him whenever he got the chance.

I don’t know when, but someone took the photo.

I remember it was winter, and when the school held its annual evaluation of teachers’ professional titles, Jian Zhinian, though young, was included in the selection for associate professor because he had published more than ten articles in authoritative journals, had a vivid and down-to-earth teaching method, and had excellent strength.

Just as the school was announcing the results, the Academic Affairs Office received an anonymous report.

A photo of Jian Zhinian kissing a student at school, and the student is a boy...

The moment Jian Zhinian received the notification and saw the photo, his whole body turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

For a moment, I was also panicked.

After all, a nerd who is devoted to studying and has no distractions in his mind has never encountered such a situation.

Although I am no longer a student, I still feel ashamed and helpless about being caught and reported by the school for secretly dating.

His current identity is a teacher, and the situation is three times more serious than that of a student.

"is my problem……"

He remembered the first words he said while holding the photo.

Perhaps the school values ​​talent and is willing to make a big deal out of a small matter and not make a big deal about the teachers' ethics.

The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office said earnestly, "Teacher Jian, people are free to date now. I see that this boy is wearing a K University Computer Science Department T-shirt, so he is an adult."

"As long as adults are in a relationship that is reasonable, voluntary and without coercion, and has no vested interests, the school has no right to pursue it."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The young Jian Zhinian was stunned. He seemed to understand, yet not to understand.

The director of the Academic Affairs Office adjusted his glasses silently and sighed, "Teacher Jian, tomorrow you and the boy in the photo should come to the Academic Affairs Office together."

"I will think about it."

That night, he returned to the dormitory, distracted, and hesitated whether to tell Mu Xingchen about this.

He is a few years older than Mu Xingchen, and as a teacher, he has more mature ideas.

Deep down, he wanted to protect Mu Xingchen.

Break up?

Jian Zhinian lay on the small bed in the dormitory, covering his eyes with his arms to hide the sadness in his eyes.

Mu Xingchen pursued him passionately, and although he agreed vaguely, he always cherished this relationship.

From childhood to adulthood, there has never been a person like Mu Xingchen who appeared in his life, so active and dazzling.

"Zhizhi..."

Mu Xingchen pushed the door open and Jian Zhinian put down his arms and stood up hurriedly.

Mu Xingchen came with his backlit in the setting sun, and his eyes were filled with warm sunshine. At that moment, Jian Zhinian knew that he could not say break up.

"I grabbed the water chestnut cake that was specially provided by the third canteen today..."

Jian Zhinian tasted the food and found it sweet and crisp. He thought that he should withdraw from the selection for the title of associate professor.

Having made up his mind, Jian Zhinian felt relieved and responded to Mu Xingchen's endless topics with a smile.

He actually didn't quite understand why Mu Xingchen, who loved lively activities, had a wide range of friends and had buddies all over the school, would like someone as dull and boring as him and always come to his simple dormitory.

"Zhizhi, do you have anything to say to me?"

Jian Zhinian held the water chestnut cake in his hand, not understanding what was going on, and shook his head, "No."

Is he going to say something sweet? He won't.

Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "Zhizhi, I'll accompany you to the Academic Affairs Office tomorrow, we'll go together."

The water taro cake in Jian Zhinian's hand fell to the ground. How did he know?

Mu Xingchen tapped Jian Zhinian’s eyebrows and said, “What a nerd! He has a lot of eyes and ears in school, including K University Know-It-All.”

It was just a minor setback, but fate played tricks on us.

The next morning, half an hour before their appointment, Jian Zhinian received a call from Shen Ruxin -

The person who spoke was not Shen Ruxin, but a firefighter.

"Excuse me, are you Jian Zhinian, the son of Shen Ruxin? Your mother has climbed onto the roof of her house in Minglan Community. Please come over immediately..."

At that moment, Jian Zhinian's mind was blank.

Why would his mother want to jump off the building?

"Hey, are you listening?"

The firefighter's hurried voice brought Jian Zhinian back to reality. He said hurriedly, "Hello, I'll be right over. How is my mother now?"

"She was very excited...but she refused to say why she was upset. She said she wanted to see her son..."

"Okay, I'll be right over. Can you give her the phone?"

The firefighter tried to communicate and replied: "Ms. Shen refuses to communicate, she wants to see you..."

“I’m on my way!”

"Okay, please hurry up and don't hang up the phone yet..."

Jian Zhinian didn't dare to hang up the phone. His hands were shaking the whole time he was driving. When he got out of the car at the residential area, his legs went weak and he fell heavily. His phone fell far away and broke into pieces on the ground.

He didn't care about the numbness in his hands and bruises on his legs, picked up his phone and ran straight to the top floor.

The moment he saw Shen Ruxin sitting on the rooftop railing, Jian Zhinian was scared crazy.

"Mom, come down, come down quickly, don't scare me..."

Jian Zhinian approached cautiously and coaxed her softly, "Mom, I'm back. Come down first and we can talk about anything."

The moment she saw her son, Shen Ruxin collapsed.

Last night she discovered that the husband whom she had loved for more than 20 years, with whom she thought they were respectful and loving, had actually been having an affair outside.

The mistress was Jian Zhongxing’s junior high school classmate and his childhood sweetheart, Bai Yueguang. He had been having an affair with her without telling her, and they even raised a pair of children together.

The son is the eldest, even half a year older than Jian Zhinian.

Shen Ruxin couldn't sleep all night, with no way to vent her feelings, so she cried silently all night.

In order to marry Jian Zhongxing, she almost broke with her natal family and even forcibly separated the assets from the Shen family, namely Xinyuan Industrial managed by Jian Zhongxing.

Unexpectedly, Jian Zhongxing had been lying to her from the very beginning.

Originally, she still had some rationality. After all, her son had grown up and would no longer rely on a bad man.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, a senior who now works in the Academic Affairs Office of K University and has always had a good relationship with her called her and vaguely mentioned that Jian Zhinian had a boyfriend at school...

It might even lead to a nasty quarrel...

Shen Ruxin, who had lived a smooth and bright life, suddenly felt a broken heart and ran straight to the roof.

She hugged Jian Zhinian and cried, begging him to break up.

"Okay, Mom, I promise to break up with you." Jian Zhinian gritted his teeth and told a lie against his will for the first time in his life.

He thought that he could rush back to school to explain after tricking Shen Ruxin down, but unexpectedly, Shen Ruxin snatched his cell phone and made him stay in the hospital for a whole day.

While buying lunch at noon, he secretly borrowed Mu Xingchen's cell phone to call him, but no one answered.

In desperation, he suppressed his nausea and called Jian Zhongxing, asking him to go to his dormitory to get some materials and submit them to the Academic Affairs Office.

That was the written document that the dean of studies asked him to fill out, explaining the whole story.

At that time, Jian Zhongxing didn't know that his biggest secret had been known by his wife and son, so he went to see K on behalf of Jian Zhinian...

It was not until the next day that Jian Zhinian received a notice from the school saying that his title of associate professor had been confirmed.

Jian Zhinian was stunned at the time and asked, "Where is Mu Xingchen?"

The answer he got was that Mu Xingchen admitted that he had actively pursued and seduced the teacher into making a mistake out of ill intentions of making a bet with his classmates. He completed the procedures for leaving school and left with his mother.

Jian Zhinian didn't believe it at all and asked to see the relevant processing materials, but the school refused and told him to look forward...
