A gentle autumn breeze brings a refreshing coolness.

After pausing for two seconds, the boy carrying the plastic bag opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Xie Qingyu's already irritable mood became even more irritable, and he immediately frowned.

"What are you doing sitting in the back? Do you really think I'm your driver?"

Upon hearing this, the handsome young man wore an innocent expression, as if he were somewhat embarrassed or embarrassed.

"I read online that it's best not to sit in the front passenger seat when traveling by car, because it's the most dangerous place in case of a traffic accident. If you mind, brother, how about I drive and you sit in the back?"

His eyes were kind, and even his tone was exceptionally sincere.

If Xie Qingyu hadn't known that he had a -90% affection level towards him, he would have actually believed it.

Should we have Shen Yan drive?

Xie Qingyu was afraid that he would fall into a ditch and die together with him.

So Xie Qingyu put up with it.

His handsome face showed a slightly cold expression, and he maintained a calm tone, "That's fine then, I'll find a coffee shop first."

"No need, brother."

Shen Yan spoke gently and smiled, "I still need to make soup when I get home. Why don't you come to my place and talk about it?"

Xie Qingyu remained noncommittal, glancing at him in the rearview mirror. "Address."

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the small two-bedroom apartment that Xie Yan had rented.

After entering the room, Shen Yan relaxed and naturally changed into slippers, then placed the ingredients he was carrying on the dining table.

Xie Qingyu, having grown accustomed to living in a large villa for the past few months, rarely visited such down-to-earth residential buildings, and for a moment felt a subtle sense of nostalgia.

Back then, his sister struggled to scrape together a down payment for an 80-square-meter apartment, which seemed to be about the same size as this one, and it felt quite familiar.

Is this where Shen Yan lives now? I didn't expect him to choose such a welcoming place.

Then Xie Qingyu looked down and saw a pair of white women's slippers next to the shoe cabinet.

He frowned warily.

Shen Yan poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table. He looked at Xie Qingyu and said, "No need to change your shoes, bro. Just come in. I'm going to mop the floor later anyway."

"How did you rent this place? Are you sharing it?"

Xie Qingyu walked in wearing leather shoes, his gaze sweeping over the wooden doors to the two bedrooms. "Your roommate is a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan turned around.

The bright living room lights made the handsome young man seem to glow; he looked shy, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

"This place wasn't rented by me, it was rented by Xie Yan."

A slight smile curved Shen Yan's lips, her smile sweet and innocent. "We're living together."

Xie Qingyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xie Qingyu's pupils dilated.

Xie Qingyu's soul left his body.

Xie Qingyu's brain was about to explode again.

"...What did you say? Say it again!"

The man in the suit had a cold expression and his eyes were filled with unbelievable rage. He stared at the boy in front of him like a wild beast, as if he wanted to pounce on him and kill him.

However, Shen Yan seemed not to hear him, as if he suddenly remembered something, his tone filled with sweet annoyance, "Brother, wait a minute, I almost forgot I have to start cooking the soup, otherwise my sister will complain to me again when she comes back..."

The boy, like a joyful butterfly, lightly picked up the groceries he had just bought and flew to the kitchen to boil water and make soup, his movements very skillful.

"Brother, even though Dad kicked me out, I don't blame him. Luckily, my sister took me in. She's really kind..."

Shen Yan called her "sister" sweetly, one last time.

Xie Qingyu was so angry that he spiraled into the sky.

Does he not know whether his sister is good or not?! Do you need to tell me?!

Where did you come from, you wild little brother, daring to steal his sister?!

The man's face was ashen, and his deep aura seemed to solidify into a black substance, as if he were about to kill someone.

How dare you steal my sister?!

Fuck you, you big villain!!!

------

The group's reunion dinner was held at a roadside food stall.

This barbecue restaurant offers large portions at affordable prices, making it extremely popular.

Since there were many of them, they booked a large private room.

Xie Yan was assigned one of the few female teachers in the department, and perhaps because of this, the male students she had met in the past few days had been quite respectful to her.

They were all pretty normal guys.

not easy.

Professor Zheng is a retired professor who was rehired. Her gray curly hair is tied up at the back of her head. She wears a pair of thin-rimmed, rose-red glasses. Her face is slightly square, and she looks a bit serious, but she becomes much more approachable when she smiles.

As the newest student and the only female student in the sect, Xie Yan was naturally arranged to sit in front of Teacher Zheng.

Teacher Zheng smiled and looked at Xie Yan, "Xie Yan, I saw your provincial competition results, which were excellent. But I'm curious, you used to study acting, how did you become so outstanding in such a short time?"

As soon as she said that, all the senior and junior students in the private room turned their eyes to Xie Yan.

After all, her achievement is simply too incredible.

She, a complete novice, actually crushed everyone and took first place.

Even though Li Chuan, this year's top seed, was unable to participate for some reason, based on his past scores, he might not necessarily be able to beat Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was dressed a little less casually today, wearing a light blue knitted long dress with a light-colored coat, her long hair loosely draped over her shoulders. Her beauty was stunning, and she was as gentle and graceful as a piece of jade.

The way she casually brushes her hair back is enough to captivate everyone.

One of the junior students stared intently at Xie Yan's face, almost drooling.

Xie Yan cleared her throat and began to put on her acting skills. She bit her lip, and a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

"Recently, there have been rumors about my background at school. I think everyone knows that I was switched at birth. Actually, I've known this for a long time. My parents don't treat me well, and to protect myself, I can only pretend to be stupid and hide my ignorance..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed across Teacher Zheng's face.

No wonder, this child is so outstanding and intelligent, yet the internet is full of people criticizing her for being stupid and lacking common sense. She must have suffered so much injustice over the years.

Professor Zheng patted Xie Yan's hand, his eyes full of pity. "Xie Yan, I wasn't planning to take on any more undergraduate students this year, but I have high hopes for you, so the director assigned you to me. I wonder if you're interested in my research area?"

As a senior professor, Professor Zheng has supervised a large number of graduate students. Currently, apart from Xie Yan, there is only one undergraduate student, making undergraduates extremely rare in his field.

Xie Yan nodded excitedly, "Interested, very interested! I've recently familiarized myself with the lab, and I find many of the android structures very interesting!"

The girl's face was beaming with joy, her eyes were shining, she was radiant, and her whole being seemed to be glowing.

She has always wanted to study robots and develop a companion butler who can take care of people.

This idea came to her a couple of years ago when she was taking care of her elderly grandmother. She was busy with work and always thought it would be great if there was a smart enough robot, just like a real person, to take care of her grandmother.

Although current technology is not yet sufficient to support her dream, people always have to take the first step to realize their dreams.

So Xie Yan is incredibly happy lately!

You have money and free time! You can also learn things you like!

She feels like transmigrating into the book is like a dream come true!!!

"Okay, okay." Teacher Zheng squinted her eyes happily. "Then you can continue to study under me for your master's and doctoral degrees, and keep learning from me!"

"it is good!"

"Also, if you don't understand anything, you can ask your senior brothers. They are all my students and their skills are quite good."

Upon hearing this, the several young men sitting opposite Xie Yan all raised their glasses with smiles.

"That's right, junior sister, ask whatever you want! Ask anything!"

"Call me anytime if you need anything, or if you don't need anything at all, hahaha!"

"Oh my, it's rare for our sect to have a junior female undergraduate student, truly a once-in-a-century find! Shouldn't we make her our disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan couldn't help but look at Teacher Zheng.

Oh, the teacher is still on the table, can we drink alcohol there?

Although everyone here is an adult, Xie Yan believes that students should act like students.

To everyone's surprise, Teacher Zheng immediately raised her glass and stood up, saying, "Isn't tomorrow Saturday? No classes, right? Come on, cheers!"

Xie Yan never expected that the old lady with gray hair, who should have been a highly respected professor, would actually drink with her students.

...That's true, and no one stipulates that all elderly professors have to be old-fashioned.

But Teacher Zheng was quite understanding. She whispered to Xie Yan, "If you don't drink alcohol, you can drink Sprite. We're just having fun."

"it does not matter!"

Xie Yan picked up her wine glass with sparkling eyes, completely forgetting what Shen Yan had told her, "I'm happy today! Cheers!!"

……

A few hours later, Xie Yan collapsed.

Of the entire table, only the freshman didn't drink alcohol because he was allergic to it; he downed a whole bellyful of green tea in one go.

Therefore, Teacher Zheng entrusted Zhang Yang with the important task of taking Xie Yan home.

Zhang Yang's heart was pounding with excitement, almost jumping out of his throat.

Previously, Zhang Yang was taken to a party by Li Chuan and his group, where they posted negative posts about Xie Yan. At that time, Zhang Yang disapproved of their behavior and never posted anything like that.

Today he met Xie Yan in person and was even more glad that he had stuck to his principles and hadn't listened to Li Chuan's one-sided story.

Xie Yan is not only beautiful and gentle, but also so outstanding; she's absolutely breathtaking.

Zhang Yang took Xie Yan in a taxi. Xie Yan mumbled an address and then fell asleep again.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Yang half-helped and half-dragged the person upstairs, and finally helped them to the door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened very quickly, almost hitting Zhang Yang's nose.

A stunning face appeared at the doorway.

The smile on Shen Yan's face vanished completely when he saw Xie Yan clinging to a stranger with her eyes closed.

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Shen Yan frowned and scooped him up, looking at the girl in his arms, who reeked of alcohol, with displeasure.

I told you not to drink, but you still drank anyway.

They're so disobedient.

Shen Yan's face is very famous and easily recognizable at school.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Isn't this the second-year math major? Why is he living with Xie Yan?"

"Shen Yan! Who are you hugging, you brat! Put them down right now!!!"

Another deep, angry roar came from inside the house. Zhang Yang looked through the doorway and saw a man with a livid face rushing towards him.

It was as if they were trying to take my life.

Zhang Yang was startled.

Shen Yan quickly closed the door, and before doing so, he coldly said "thank you" to the person outside.

...The etiquette was impeccable, but Zhang Yang still felt uneasy.

He stared at the security door for a few seconds, scratched his head, and left.

The atmosphere inside the room was so tense that it seemed like it could explode at any moment.

Xie Qingyu is really furious today.
