Chapter 105: Zhu Baoping's Blindness

Speaking of this, Lin Yang gets angry. Xiao Chuchu first tried to hook up with him, but he was devoted to Wu Yue'er, and plus he felt Xiao Chuchu was a bit too flirtatious, so he didn't pay her much mind.

Later, when Shen Yan won the big prize on a scratch-off ticket and his talents kept emerging, he became the apple of Xiao Chuchu's eye and the meat on her plate. At the time, he felt quite uncomfortable, a sense of being betrayed by a sycophant. Since Zhu Baoping had always liked Xiao Chuchu and he had always been annoyed by this country bumpkin, he deliberately provoked Zhu Baoping.

"Zhu, look, Xiao Chuchu is going after Shen. I told you she was a flirt, but you didn't believe me."

Zhu Baoping's face turned livid, and he cursed, calling her a "slut," clearly having developed some opinions about Xiao Chuchu.

Nowadays, Shen Yan ignores Xiao Chuchu, and the two are like parallel lines that can never intersect. Zhu Baoping, that blockhead, has started making excuses for Xiao Chuchu again, saying, "Shen is handsome and wealthy; it's not strange for girls to like him. We shouldn't be biased against people because of this."

Lin Yang just exploded, "Shen, do you think Zhu is an idiot? Xiao Chuchu is just a slut who will cling to anyone with money. She never looked at Zhu before, but recently, after Zhu joined the External Liaison Department and earned some hard-earned money there, he couldn't even bear to spend it on himself. He ran off to buy all kinds of snacks to give to Xiao Chuchu to curry favor, and Xiao Chuchu accepts everything, even smilingly calling him 'Brother Zhu'."

"With such an obvious contrast in attitude, Zhu just can't see it. He says Xiao Chuchu isn't that kind of person, that her family is struggling and she didn't get a spot for financial aid, so he's just helping out where he can."

"The words sound high and mighty, but everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao."

Shen Yan was speechless. Once some people encounter someone they admire, they act as if they've been put under a spell, falling into a state of fanatical blindness.

This blindness causes them to lose their reason and judgment, and they might even do some absurd and ridiculous things.

"Didn't Tang try to talk him out of it?" Shen Yan felt that Tang Song was mature for his age, so it made no sense that he couldn't see through Xiao Chuchu's character.

Lin Yang scoffed, "Some people won't turn back until they hit the south wall. It's useless to try to talk them out of it; just let him be."

Shen Yan's expression turned a bit strange. You're the same way yourself, obsessed with Wu Yue'er to the point of madness.

When a turtle meets a soft-shelled turtle, neither should laugh at the other!

The only difference is that one is a toad wanting to eat swan meat, which is courageous, while the other is blinded by lust to the point of losing themselves.

Sigh!

In this world, the most beautiful poison is love; it intoxicates you, yet it is fatal.

Before long, the Mediterranean-haired professor of "Civil Law" walked in, carrying his lesson plan and walking with hurried steps.

He was meticulous while lecturing, his eyes occasionally scanning the room. When he discovered Shen Yan in the back row, a hint of appreciation unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

This student was the most special; he never listened in class, yet his answers to questions were always sharp and hit the nail on the head. He would surely be a pillar of the legal profession in the future.

Looking at the slacker Lin Yang next to him, who was lost in thought, the Mediterranean-haired professor wore an expression of "rotten wood cannot be carved."

"The student in the black clothes in the back row, you come up and answer how this case should be judged."

Lin Yang, who had been happily playing on his phone, suddenly felt the atmosphere turn strange. The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and it seemed everyone was staring in his direction.

He looked up, and sure enough, that was the case.

Upon learning that the professor wanted him to stand up and answer the question, Lin Yang stammered, unable to squeeze out a single word for a long time. The professor sighed and, for once, began to preach: "Today's cause, tomorrow's effect. I hope everyone can live up to their time so that there will be a day of harvest in the future."

"That is all I have to say!"

Lin Yang's face was a mask of embarrassment.

The students had different mindsets; some were ashamed and silently put away their phones, while others pursed their lips and smiled, their faces filled with self-satisfaction and pride.

Perhaps to let Lin Yang learn a lesson, the Mediterranean-haired professor asked Shen Yan to stand up and answer the question.

People fear comparison; only by knowing the gap can one have the motivation to chase after it.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

Shen Yan vaguely regretted it. He shouldn't have shown off like that back then. Now he was in trouble, being watched closely by the Mediterranean-haired professor, unable to even skip class.

But since he had already shown off, he had to see it through to the end. Shen Yan stood up and said, "A loan contract is a unilateral contract. After the borrower accepts the borrowed item, they only have obligations. Without the lender's consent, the borrower..."

"Very good!" The Mediterranean-haired professor clapped his hands, his appreciation undisguised.

If there were more students like this, there would be no worry about the country not prospering.

The students all felt defeated, unable to understand how this guy, who treated skipping class as a daily routine, could be so good at studying.

Are you a 'sixth man' who has been secretly working hard behind our backs?

During the break, Shen Yan, who was preparing to go to the restroom, was stopped by Luo Qiqi as he passed the front row.

Luo Qiqi's uneven, ear-length short hair was particularly eye-catching, very androgynous, and her unique crystal lips, slightly pale, did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Sometimes, when Shen Yan's obsessive-compulsive disorder flared up, he really wanted to cut her hair for her.

"Shen Yan, you skip class as often as you eat and drink, so how did you memorize so much knowledge? Is there some secret?" Luo Qiqi asked curiously.

Yu Youwei and the others cast curious glances; this was also a question they had hidden for a long time.

"How should I put it? Memory is something that only looks difficult, but actually..." At this point, a hint of craftiness flashed across Shen Yan's brow, and he began to play coy.

"Why did you stop? Actually what?" Luo Qiqi scratched her head, eagerly pressing him.

"Memory is something that only looks difficult, but actually, it isn't easy."

After saying this, Shen Yan laughed out loud and walked out of the classroom.

What?

Luo Qiqi's head was full of question marks, and she crashed on the spot. If her reading comprehension was correct, the two short sentences should mean the same thing.

What is this all about!

"Honk honk honk," Yu Youwei laughed with a sound like a goose. Taciturn—no, it should be that 'Pi Yan' was still as flirtatious as ever.

Chen Shanni's eyes curved into crescents, and she began to learn and apply it on the spot: "Qiqi only looks like she isn't that smart, but actually, she isn't stupid."

"Alright, Shanni, you've learned how to tease people now." Luo Qiqi was so angry her cheeks puffed out, and she reached out to tickle Chen Shanni.

"Hahaha! Don't do that, I was wrong, okay?"

The scene of the two of them playing and the silver-bell-like laughter made a large group of boys feel restless, only regretting that they weren't girls so they could join the fray.

Before long, Shen Yan returned to the classroom, only to be stopped by Yu Youwei again: "Pi Yan, the head of the Art Department asked me to ask you, do you want to join the Art Department?"

"Pi Yan? Why are you giving me nicknames again?"

"Who told you to be so 'pi' (mischievous)? Do you want to join the Art Department or not?"

Shen Yan was slightly surprised. "Isn't the time to join the Student Union long past?" Yu Youwei said, "Special circumstances are treated specially. The head thinks you dance very well and wants to pull you in."

Luo Qiqi retorted, "A salted fish is still a salted fish even if it flips over. Unless a sow can climb a tree, this guy might join the Art Department."

"Hehe! You know me best." Shen Yan grinned.

Luo Qiqi rolled her eyes in a pretty way, and Yu Youwei had only mentioned it in passing; as long as the message was delivered, that was enough, as she herself had not held any real expectations.

Returning to his seat, Shen Yan discovered that Lin Yang had actually run back to the front row again; it seemed he had been moved by what happened just now, though there was no telling how many days he could keep it up.

A heart full of passion can never withstand the erosion of time and the grinding of reality.
