261: Chapter 261 This is too exciting!
The car arrived near Wuzhou University. The first thing Lei Zhen did after getting out was to take Gu Qingcheng to find a real estate agent.
He now had several million in his card and rarely had the chance to spend it, so Lei Zhen asked the agent to find an apartment with a relatively good environment.
The agent helped Shen Lang find a renovated apartment of about 70 square meters. The first floor contained the living room, bathroom, and kitchen, while the second floor had two rooms: a bedroom with a large bed and an e-sports room.
Gu Qingcheng was dumbfounded after seeing it. "Only one bedroom?"
The young agent was momentarily stunned. "You... aren't a couple?"
Lei Zhen pulled Gu Qingcheng into his arms and smiled. "Who says we aren't? We're clearly a pair of loving young newlyweds!"
Gu Qingcheng pushed Lei Zhen away and whispered in his ear, "There's only one room, how are we supposed to sleep?"
Lei Zhen whispered back, "We're a couple. What couple rents two bedrooms? Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa downstairs or in the e-sports room. The big bed is all yours."
Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to accept.
The monthly rent was 2,500, and Lei Zhen paid for three months upfront.
The time he planned for this mission was also three months.
From a street loafer to a policeman, and now from a policeman to a graduate student at a top-tier university, the jump was quite significant.
But for Lei Zhen, none of that mattered.
Being able to live with Gu Qingcheng as a couple was what he looked forward to the most.
Just thinking about it set his imagination running wild.
His Super X-Ray Vision could finally be put to real use.
Gu Qingcheng had long noticed Lei Zhen's uncontrollable excitement. Though she resisted on the surface, she actually felt a bit of anticipation for this 'return to campus trip' herself.
Of course, she had to hide this bit of anticipation tightly so Lei Zhen wouldn't find out.
The apartment was a bit expensive, but the environment was truly nice.
Gu Qingcheng had the bedroom all to herself, while the e-sports room was 'occupied' by Lei Zhen. Not only that, Lei Zhen even went to the second-hand market to pick up a set of computer equipment and even a gaming chair.
Gu Qingcheng was shocked when she saw Lei Zhen sitting in front of the computer playing delta force.
"Big brother, are you here as an undercover agent or to enjoy life?"
Lei Zhen let go of the mouse and laughed. "Aren't we university students? Have you ever seen a university student who doesn't like playing games? I'm doing all this for work."
"Why don't I believe you at all?" Gu Qingcheng curled her lip.
Lei Zhen stood up and grabbed Gu Qingcheng's shoulders. "Remember, starting today, we are a couple of graduate students studying together. Come on, let's go shower... I mean, let's go eat."
After dinner, the two of them secretly met with the Vice Principal of Wuzhou University.
"I've already found your respective advisors and notified them in advance. You two will attend classes normally and can also follow your advisors for experiments. They basically won't interfere with you at school."
"Additionally, your facial recognition data has been recorded, so you can enter and leave the school at any time. When you go to school tomorrow, go have a brief meeting with your advisors first."
After finishing the instructions, the mysterious Vice Principal left.
Since graduate students don't have traditional classes—at most, they have an administrative class—there is usually very little interaction.
Therefore, Lei Zhen and Gu Qingcheng appearing at Wuzhou University wouldn't feel out of place at all.
Besides, there are tens of thousands of people at Wuzhou University; no one would pay attention to them.
After meeting the Vice Principal, Lei Zhen took Gu Qingcheng for a stroll around the school.
Wuzhou University was huge, with a total area of over 5,000 mu. If they truly wanted to see it all, it would probably take an entire day.
They also visited the library and the famous Cherry Blossom Avenue.
Finally, after wandering until nine o'clock at night, the two of them returned to the apartment together.
Once inside, Lei Zhen flopped onto the sofa and turned on the TV.
Being able to go on a mission with a beauty like Gu Qingcheng was simply too wonderful for Lei Zhen.
And next, there was the important program that Lei Zhen had been looking forward to for a long time.
Gu Qingcheng also sat down to rest for a while. She checked the time and felt a bit exhausted.
Looking at the relaxed Lei Zhen beside her, she couldn't help but start muttering in her heart.
What on earth is this? Why did I end up living with this street loafer?
And Lei Zhen's state today is unusually excited. This kid wouldn't be plotting something bad, would he?
This guy is in his mid-twenties but has never touched a woman. He must be incredibly thirsty.
A lone man and woman in a room—it's so dangerous!
What if he pounces on me while I'm asleep?
Gu Qingcheng's mind was filled with all sorts of scenarios, and she almost felt like she could hear Lei Zhen's lewd laughter.
"Jie jie jie jie, hehehehe, Gu Qingcheng, you've finally fallen into my hands! Just watch how I'll play with you!!"
Gu Qingcheng quickly shook her head.
No, no, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
"What's wrong with you?" Lei Zhen also noticed that something was off with Gu Qingcheng.
"Nothing, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Really?" Lei Zhen's spirits suddenly lifted, and he sat up straight.
"Why are you so happy?" Gu Qingcheng looked at him guardedly.
"Nothing, nothing," Lei Zhen said quickly. "It's quite late, time to shower and sleep. You go first, I'll watch some TV."
"Fine."
Gu Qingcheng went upstairs first to get her pajamas. Lei Zhen pretended to be deeply engrossed in the TV, but his heart had long since drifted away.
The oblivious Gu Qingcheng went to the bathroom, only then realizing that the bathroom partition was actually made of glass.
She hadn't noticed when she looked at the apartment earlier, but fortunately, it was frosted glass.
But Gu Qingcheng was still uneasy and checked it back and forth several times.
She suddenly remembered that there was something in this world called [Smart Atomized Glass]. It was said that such glass was frosted when not powered, making it impossible to see through, but it became fully transparent once electricity was applied.
It was essentially a layer of liquid crystal dimming film sandwiched between the glass.
If this was that kind of atomized glass, and it suddenly became transparent while she was showering, wouldn't she be seen completely by Lei Zhen?
"Lei Zhen, give me the landlord's phone number."
"The landlord's number?" Lei Zhen paused. "Why are you calling him?"
"What's it to you? Just give it to me."
Lei Zhen sent the number to Gu Qingcheng, and she immediately dialed it.
"Smart Atomized Glass? No, no, I don't have the money to install that kind of thing. This is just ordinary frosted glass. If you want that kind of glass, you'll have to install it yourselves."
Gu Qingcheng hung up the phone, finally feeling relieved.
Lei Zhen spoke up on the spot, "Gu Qingcheng, what do you mean by that? Judging a gentleman's heart with your petty mind? It's just a shower. Do you think I'd actually peek at you?"
"I'm just taking precautions."
The frosted glass didn't let light through; not even a silhouette could be seen from the outside.
Gu Qingcheng undressed, and soon the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Meanwhile, sitting in the living room, Lei Zhen had already begun laughing like a pig in secret.
Jie jie jie jie jie, my X-ray vision is finally going to be put to real use!!
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his Super X-Ray Vision, and the frosted glass in front of him instantly vanished...
Holy crap, this is way too exciting!!!
——————————
When Gu Qingcheng came out after showering and drying her hair, she immediately noticed something was wrong with Lei Zhen.
The guy looked dazed, his eyes were vacant, and he had two pieces of toilet paper stuffed into his nostrils.
"What happened to you?" Gu Qingcheng asked, bewildered.
"Nothing, I'm just a bit... overheated," Lei Zhen said.
