With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Upon meeting him directly, Gu Lianxing introduced him, "This is Jiang Lingchuan, do you remember him?"

Shen Ci nodded.

Jiang Lingchuan seemed to be very introverted. When he saw Shen Ci arrive, he said to Gu Lianxing, "Then I'll go back first."

Gu Lianxing raised an eyebrow, then saw him quickly nod at Shen Ci before leaving.

Gu Lianxing then chuckled softly, "Look at him, so dull-witted."

"Wasn't that guy who suddenly confessed his feelings to you also a math major? I just asked him, maybe they're in the same class."

Even when that person was mentioned unexpectedly, their image was still lingering in Shen Ci's mind, mainly because they were so distinctive that he couldn't forget them even if he wanted to.

"Don't mention him anymore, it gives me the creeps," Shen Ci said irritably.

Gu Lianxing laughed even harder: "You've got psychological trauma now, haven't you? Are all the math department students at our school this weird? Your crazy side is so natural it's like you're a pervert, while I'm just a silly goose around like I have a mental disability."

"Don't say that. I think he's fair-skinned and clean-cut, and he even came to give you gifts."

No matter how dazed Jiang Lingchuan was, he still looked clean and decent-looking, except for his thick glasses, a typical feature of a top student.

Gu Lianxing nodded with a pout: "That's right. Comparing him to yours is a bit unfair to him. At least he seems like a normal person."

"What do you mean, 'that'? What do you mean, 'that'? Don't talk nonsense." Shen Ci quickly corrected her grammatical error, distancing herself from any relationship with Hao Penghui.

Gu Lianxing quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I misspoke, but that's the gist of it."

Then she held up what she was holding. It turned out that Jiang Lingchuan had brought her skincare products: "Look at this, it's a Swiss brand, it's really good, there aren't any counters for it in China. I asked someone to bring it back from abroad, let's each get a set."

Shen Ci immediately smiled and waved the high-end sushi in her hand: "What a coincidence, I also brought you some delicious 'Qi Family' sushi."

"Wow, I love their sushi the most, thank you, honey." The two chatted and laughed as they entered the dormitory building.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Shen Ci got up early and went to the multimedia classroom No. 2 according to the class schedule. However, as soon as she entered the room, she sensed that the atmosphere in the classroom was not quite right.

Or perhaps the atmosphere only became awkward the moment she appeared.

The students in the classroom first all turned their gazes to Shen Ci, and then most of them showed hidden anger in their eyes, but no one spoke, and then they all looked away.

Shen Ci blinked inexplicably. She didn't think she was being overly sensitive; she had received those unfriendly stares.

But she herself didn't know the reason.

I had just found a quiet spot to sit down when I saw the teacher quickly walk in from outside.

Shen Ci didn't listen attentively to the course content, or rather, since returning to university this time, she hasn't been able to concentrate on her classes.

Firstly, she was already very familiar with the course material, and secondly, she seemed to have a very clear feeling that she was no longer as interested in astronomy.

She spent decades on astronomy, but there has been no substantial breakthrough in the future exploration of the universe by humankind.

Those unknowns remain unknown, and what humanity can access and prove is insufficient to change the status quo.

Shen Ci didn't know if decades of wholehearted dedication had gradually eroded her pursuit and passion for her ideals, or if she was simply too wealthy now, which was why she had lost interest in studying and working hard.

But whatever the reason, she truly felt the loss of her passion for astronomy.

Should she change her major?

But it doesn't seem like there are any other majors that interest her right now, and changing majors is too much trouble, which she hates.

That's all for today's class. If you have any questions after class, feel free to ask me privately.

Shen Ci rubbed his tired temples and was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard someone stand up and ask the teacher loudly, "Teacher, we heard that the four astronomical telescopes that the Li family originally planned to donate to the department have been cancelled. Is that true?"

The teacher didn't react much upon hearing this, as if he had expected a student to ask about it. He nodded calmly and said, "The department has already been notified about this. The telescope project has been put on hold for the time being, but the department still has many other pieces of equipment."

"How can that be the same? I heard that the Li family originally planned to donate a world-class astronomical telescope, which costs nearly three hundred yuan apiece. The astronomical telescopes in the department are all from more than ten years ago, and they can't compare at all."

At this moment, many students turned their attention to Shen Ci again, their eyes filled with obvious resentment and anger, clearly blaming Shen Ci for the incident.

Shen Ci was slightly taken aback. She remembered that she had just had a fierce battle with Li Xiao's mother in the principal's office a few days ago. Only then did she realize that it was because of her that the department lost the astronomical telescope that the Li family originally planned to donate.

At that moment, she understood her classmates' resentment. For an astronomy student, being able to use a top-of-the-line astronomical telescope was a dream come true.

Because she missed this opportunity, she may never have the chance to touch such top-of-the-line equipment again in her lifetime.

No wonder I was getting all the attention.

Shen Ci did not evade the issue and immediately stood up and said, "I am very sorry that the department lost such important equipment because of my mistake. I would like to apologize to everyone first."

"What's the use of an apology? Can't you resolve your issues with Li Xiao properly?"

"Exactly! Why should dating affect all of us?"

"I just don't understand. Are all good-looking people this arrogant? Even a guy like Li Xiao can get dumped these days?"

Shen Ci's appearance directly intensified the negative emotions of the students, who immediately began to criticize him.

Some of his words became increasingly outrageous, eventually making Shen Ci laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Did we say anything wrong?"

Shen Ci looked in the direction of the voice and found that the other person was a pretty girl. The one who said, "I don't understand, are all pretty people so arrogant? Even a guy like Li Xiao can get dumped now?" was her.

Shen Ci didn't quite remember the girl's name, but looked at her coldly and asked, "Why can't guys like Li Xiao be dumped? Just because his family is rich? Just because he's handsome? So all girls should be dumped by him? You're a girl yourself, how can you just spout such things?"

The girl hadn't expected so many people to criticize her, and that she would specifically be chosen to refute her. Her pretty face immediately flushed red: "How could I have meant that?"

"That's what you mean!" Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "If you're willing to be Li Xiao's dream girl, then be it yourself. Stop belittling girls here."
