Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

"Did Professor An and Professor Li get together during their university years?"

Luo Ye showed a surprised expression.

They've been living together for over thirty years, from their university days until now.

"Yes, back in our day, there weren't any of these colorful things. Once two people got together, it was for life."

An Yueru broke the peeled orange in half and handed it to Su Baizhou and Luo Ye respectively.

"Thank you, Teacher An."

"Thank you, Teacher An."

The two said at the same time.

An Yueru smiled and said, "Make yourself at home, don't be shy. Nana and Lao Li will come back from grocery shopping later, and then we'll cook."

"Okay," Su Baizhou nodded.

Not long after, Li Na and Li Ping came in carrying several large bags filled with various fruits, vegetables and meats.

Seeing this, An Yueru grabbed Su Baizhou's hand and said, "Zhouzhou, come to the kitchen and help me."

"it is good."

The two went into the kitchen together.

Luo Ye wanted to go too, but felt it wasn't appropriate, so he stayed on the sofa.

After Li Ping put the things in the kitchen, he sat down next to him.

This sitting made Luo Ye extremely uneasy.

Facing a university vice president, a computer science professor with a doctorate, and a teacher of a higher generation than himself, Luo Ye felt immense pressure.

This situation only eased when Li Na also sat on the sofa.

"Li Na, pour tea for the guests," Li Ping said.

"No need, Teacher Li, I can do it myself. Sister Na is also a teacher, how can I let a teacher pour tea for me?"

Luo Ye stood up and began to brew tea using the tea leaves and teapot on the table.

Having been raised by Chen Shaoman and Gu Rancheng, Luo Ye's tea-making skills are still quite good.

"Xiao Luo, how's your cousin doing lately?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know, he doesn't usually talk to me much."

"That's it."

Li Ping sighed and said, "That kid, Gu, is excellent, but he is the only son of the Gu family, so he is destined not to shine in the computer industry."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Does this mean the professor is planning to find someone else to succeed him?

Is it a senior student... or could it be him?

Luo Ye tensed up and said, "That's why the professor released one spot for our year."

Professor Li Ping's supervisor position is an opportunity that the entire computer science department is scrambling to secure.

Becoming a graduate student is one thing.

If the mentor is Li Ping, then it's a different story.

Without exception, all of Li Ping's students are now quite famous and have bright futures ahead of them.

"Yes, this should be the last student I teach. I'll retire after I finish teaching him."

Li Ping sighed.

For him, being a university professor was just a part-time job; his real work was actually researching computer technology.

"Actually, at first, I liked you the most. I thought you were Mingxuan's younger brother, so you wouldn't be too bad. That's why I made you the class representative. But later, I also noticed that you weren't interested in this."

Luo Ye lowered his head, looking embarrassed.

He chose to give up a position that the entire computer science department was vying for; people would think he was a fool if they heard about it.

However, he really didn't like the computer science department, and he even had to rely on his senior to pass the final exams.

“Teacher, many students in the class are more talented than me, and they work harder too,” Luo Ye said.

“I did notice one, that little girl named Tang Enqi is quite good. I saw something in her that Mingxuan and Xiao Su don’t have.”

Gu Mingxuan is now a doctoral student and has even gone abroad to pursue multiple doctoral degrees. He relies on hard work and talent, but his purpose is simply to enrich his resume so that when he inherits the company in the future, none of the veterans can find any flaws in his record.

Su Baizhou, until she met Luo Ye, doubted herself and didn't know what she should do; she just went with the flow.

Only Tang Enqi had a clear goal and a clear thinking.

Upon hearing the familiar name, Luo Ye nodded and said, "She is indeed very hardworking, Professor. If she can ultimately secure a place in the graduate program, I also suggest you choose her as your student."

"We'll see how things go. If she really meets the standards, I'll make her my student."

Lunch was ready in no time.

Lunch was a bit late today; it was already around 1 p.m. when we started eating.

This was Luo Ye's first time having dinner at Professor Li Ping's house. An Yueru said, "Little Luo, you are completely different from your brother."

“Teacher An, I can imagine it.”

Luo Ye had already imagined what Gu Mingxuan would look like when he arrived here.

He's not at all reserved; he feels right at home wherever he goes.

"How long have you been with Zhouzhou?" An Yueru asked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye blushed and became somewhat shy.

He kept this in mind every day, and immediately said, "It's the third week, almost a month now."

Seeing him like this, Su Baizhou gently turned her head away, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Li Na gave an ambiguous smile, and Li Ping and An Yueru also exchanged a smile.

They saw in Luo Ye the innocent image of their own generation.

"Zhouzhou, you've been with Xiao Luo for three weeks now. What do you think of Xiao Luo?" An Yueru asked curiously.

Su Baizhou said calmly, "He's fine."

"How good is it?" Li Na asked, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"The best is here with me."

Su Baizhou never hesitated to praise Luo Ye, especially in front of outsiders.

Under the praise of the fairy senior, Luo Ye couldn't help but feel happy.

He felt an overwhelming sweetness in his heart, filled with a delightful emotion.

He felt that having a girlfriend like his fairy-like senior was the luckiest thing in his life.

Everyone ate and chatted. After they finished eating, Li Na was sent to wash the dishes.

Although Luo Ye and Su Baizhou are juniors, they are still guests, so it's impossible to ask them to do chores.

Li Ping poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and gazed at the scenery outside the door.

The small garden outside is beautiful, with two small golden maple trees. It's autumn now, and the maple leaves are falling. All sorts of flowers are swaying all around.

Li Ping sighed, "It's already this time of year in the blink of an eye."

This semester is already halfway over.

But the scenes from the first day of school still feel like they happened yesterday.

Luo Ye glanced at the fairy-like senior. He remembered that when he first arrived in Jiangcheng, he was inexplicably taken to the police station.

That was the beginning of his connection with the fairy-like senior...

Of course, for Su Baizhou, their connection began as early as last summer vacation.

From the moment Gu Mingxuan invited them to play games together.

The younger student doesn't know yet that "Qin Yuwen" is her.
