When Lin Yuan and Zhang Yan parted ways, Zhang Yan mentioned something else.

"Guess who I saw when I went to buy bubble tea? Song Xiaoxiao, the one you're helping, she was selling bubble tea."

Lin Yuan was full of questions, "I just came from my wife's place, and we just had dinner together. Is she working so hard now? Working part-time at night?"

"Why were you having dinner with her?"

"She lives with my wife."

"You... you live with Xia Ye and Song Xiaoxiao?" Zhang Yan exclaimed.

"What are you thinking? I'm staying in the dorm. Song Xiaoxiao is penniless now, so I made some space for her."

"Then why don't you rent her a separate apartment?"

"Easier said than done. Do you know how much the rent is per month here?"

"Uh... 5000?" Zhang Yan tentatively replied.

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? Let's go."

—

Lin Yuan believed that Zhang Yan was capable of suddenly coming to his school to study, and he also believed she had the ability to do such a thing.

But Lin Yuan didn't expect Zhang Yan to come so quickly.

On the third morning after learning of Zhang Yan's plan, Lin Yuan went downstairs for breakfast as usual.

Soon after he stepped out of the dorm entrance, a car horn suddenly blared behind him.

Lin Yuan instinctively looked back and felt that the car looked familiar.

"Surprise!!!" Before Lin Yuan could think much, Zhang Yan ran out of the car. Then she sprinted towards Lin Yuan and hung herself around his neck.

Lin Yuan felt his neck was about to break... Evidently, the density of a martial artist like Zhang Yan was much higher than Xia Ye's.

"You... you're already here?"

"Surprised?"

"I'm only surprised now. It's almost the end of the semester, why are you here? I thought you'd at least come next semester."

"To play with you." Zhang Yan was excited, but seeing Lin Yuan's calm expression, she suddenly felt a bit disappointed, "So boring, always this indifferent look. I'm hungry, quickly take me to breakfast."

Lin Yuan had no choice but to comply. All the way, Zhang Yan kept trying to hold his hand playfully, while Lin Yuan kept shaking her off.

"I'm new here, unfamiliar with the place. Can't you, as my Senior, hold my hand and walk with me?"

"Comrade, last time we arm-wrestled, my two hands couldn't beat your one. Can you stop pretending?"

"I just want to integrate quickly and act more like a girl."

"Are you acting like a proper girl?"

"How am I not proper? You're my Senior, my elder brother. What's wrong with holding my elder brother's hand? You're the one with a guilty conscience."

"I..." Lin Yuan then deliberately quickened his pace, but how could he outrun Zhang Yan?

Before they finished breakfast, Dean Li's call came.

After clarifying the location, Dean Li drove over himself.

Then he personally took Zhang Yan to handle various procedures, naturally going through the adult education route. At Zhang Yan's insistence, Lin Yuan had no choice but to follow.

Before long, Zhang Yan received her campus card and student ID.

Lin Yuan was stunned, "Does adult education have student IDs?"

Dean Li adjusted his glasses, "This was specially requested by Xiao Zhang."

"That's right," Zhang Yan interjected, "Senior, you have a student ID, so of course I need one too."

Lin Yuan quietly asked Dean Li, "She asks, and you give?"

"It's just a card. Your previous admission notice, hmm?"

Now Lin Yuan had nothing to say. Because his flashy move of hand-rubbing the admission notice was much more serious than getting a student ID.

Zhang Yan, meanwhile, happily showed off her student ID, "Senior, take yours out and show me. Hurry, show me."

"I didn't bring it."

"Spoilsport."

Dean Li interjected at the right time, "Xiao Zhang, which college do you want to go to?"

"Wherever Senior is, I'm there."

"Okay, I understand. Where do you live? School dorms?"

"Yes. Arrange for me to be with Senior."

Even Old Li, a seasoned veteran of many years, was shocked by this little girl in front of him, "Male and female dorms are not together."

"Oh, I didn't say I wanted to share a room with Senior. Senior has a wife."

Now Old Li was even more unsettled. He turned to look at Lin Yuan with a surprised expression. Because he originally thought Zhang Yan didn't know Lin Yuan had a girlfriend, and he himself didn't know Lin Yuan and his girlfriend had reached the point of discussing marriage.

But Zhang Yan, despite knowing everything, acted completely unconcerned.

The amount of information was too much for his sixty years of experience to digest at once.

"Xiao Zhang, what I meant was. Male and female dorms are not even in the same building."

"Ah? Can't we live next door?"

"That really can't be done."

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, "Alright then. Senior, why don't we rent a place outside?"

Lin Yuan lightly coughed, "Okay. We'll rent the apartment directly opposite my wife's. It's convenient..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Dean Li pushed him, stopping him abruptly, "I'll arrange for you to be closer. Lin Yuan, move to Building 6, it's the closest to the girls' dorms."

"Dean, Building 6 is for undergraduates."

"I'll arrange a single room for you. It's decided."

Soon after, Zhang Yan was led away by someone Dean Li arranged to go to the dorms first. Since Lin Yuan couldn't enter the girls' dorms, Zhang Yan finally let him go.

Only Lin Yuan and Dean Li remained.

As soon as Zhang Yan left, Dean Li patted Lin Yuan's shoulder several times solemnly.

"A teachable young man. When you become wealthy in the future, don't forget the connections your master made for you."

"Master, there's really nothing between her and me. We're just fellow disciples."

"Be a little bolder. Find an opportunity to get her pregnant, and your life will be set."

Lin Yuan was stunned. What kind of outrageous words were these?

"Don't always be so reserved. I can tell Xiao Zhang likes being with you. Just go with the flow, change your mindset, and the rest of your life will be smooth sailing."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but imagine the future Dean Li was outlining. If he were to be honest with himself, if he weren't a cheat, he really wouldn't be able to resist such temptation.

But if he weren't a cheat, then neither Xia Ye nor Zhang Yan would have any connection with him.

So, there was no 'if'.

Given that, Lin Yuan didn't want to play dirty with Zhang Yan. No, that's not right, ever since he tried to cling to Zhang Yan's leg, he had already started scheming against her. However, Lin Yuan still had a bottom line.

To get someone pregnant for his own future, that was too scummy. Moreover, what if Zhang Yan was truly just being spontaneous and saw him only as an elder brother?

"Master, I'll still treat her as a younger sister. She keeps calling me Senior, I really can't bring myself to do it."

"Alright then." Dean Li didn't continue to persuade Lin Yuan, but instead, his eyes revealed his appreciation for him. "What I just said was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Lin Yuan understood, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

"Go on. She'll probably be looking for you again soon."

"Master, what is Zhang Yan's status for coming here this time? Is she on a public study program? Or on leave without pay? I just asked her, and she wasn't very clear herself."

"Neither. She's here on a mission."

"A mission? What mission?"

"To assist us in the OCR investigation."

Lin Yuan was full of questions, "I just chatted with her the whole way, and from what she said, she thought she was just here to play."

Dean Li spread his hands, "She is here to play. Still don't understand? Executing a mission while also taking some time to relax."

"Uh..." Lin Yuan quietly said, "A vacation and a resume-builder?"

Dean Li glared at him fiercely, "That's a very bad habit of yours. How can you be so blunt? Get out!"

And so, Lin Yuan had no choice but to accept the fact that he had become the young lady's personal attendant.
