Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

Wen Xi was both annoyed and amused.

"He Tingchu...where are you going?" she asked in a low voice.

He Tingchu ignored it.

A few minutes later, the familiar figure of the man returned to the dormitory entrance, pulling a suitcase. This time, he wore a conspicuous red volunteer armband on his arm.

"Auntie, may I go in now?"

The less trouble, the better.

The aunt glanced at his shoulder, then turned and pulled the floral curtain closed. There's always a lot going on at the start of the school year, and he wasn't the first boy to enter the girls' dormitory today, nor would he be the last.

He Tingchu carried her luggage upstairs, and Wen Xi felt extremely fortunate when she caught up with the tall figure ahead of her like a sparrow.

The dormitory building actually has stairs.

If you asked her to carry three 26-inch suitcases up four flights of stairs, she'd probably be so exhausted she'd collapse on the steps, completely losing her ladylike composure, and questioning the meaning of life.

Free servants are free, so why not use them?

With this change of heart, she instantly felt at ease. Why should she be polite to him? Only she would suffer.

401 Dormitory

When He Tingchu's outstanding face appeared in the dormitory, it attracted the burning gazes of a group of women. The women who had just been sitting slouchingly straightened their backs and squeezed their legs together.

This man is ridiculously handsome.

It is truly a masterpiece.

The three of them gasped inwardly.

They arrived early, had already chosen their beds, and settled in.

The only empty bed in the four-person room was the one near the door; the man frowned involuntarily.

"Hello, I'm Wen Xi from the medical school," Wen Xi greeted them.

"Hello, I'm Li Tingting from the School of Education."

"Guo Shan from the Law School."

....

He Tingchu maintained his aloof demeanor, taking off his coat and hanging it on the back of the chair. His long, slender fingers unbuttoned the top two buttons of his coat, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. Then, with practiced ease, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the chair, pretending to help her make the bed.

"Go wring out the towel to wipe the bed frame." The tall, slender man squatted on the upper bunk, looking at her, unable to lift his head.

"oh."

Wen Xi quickly put down his backpack, obediently went to fetch water, wrung out a wet towel, and handed it to him.

He Tingchu wiped the bed frame and bed board carefully, changed the bed sheets and quilt to Wen Xi's light blue floral pattern, and even thoughtfully set up a mosquito net for her.

He was quick and efficient, his desk was neatly arranged, and his clothes were hung on hangers, all in order, giving off a kind of obsessive-compulsive beauty.

Wen Xi stood blankly to the side, seemingly unable to help at all. He could only stare blankly as the man busied himself, pointing here and there, seemingly busy but actually doing nothing.

She had just opened her suitcase when He Tingchu began sorting and organizing, clearly demonstrating his well-trained nature.

The other three girls in the dorm almost popped their eyes out. Li Tingting pulled Wen Xi aside and asked,

"Your family member?"

What?! How did she answer that?

Should I tell them that this is the other half of her marriage certificate?

"Oh...that...is a school volunteer."

Wen Xi glanced at the armband on his arm and answered for him.

The man's lips pressed into a straight line as he slowly climbed out of bed again.

After introducing himself as a volunteer, Li Tingting mustered up her courage and asked,

"Excuse me, could you please help me with my luggage?"

She still has two suitcases downstairs that she hasn't had time to bring up yet.

"You didn't make an appointment, so this volunteer refuses to provide service," He Tingchu said coldly.

Li Tingting timidly withdrew her burning gaze.

This volunteer is really something.

"Thank you very much, senior. You should go now." Wen Xi saw the guest off.

[Senior?]

He dismissed the whole thing with just the word "senior."

He Tingchu's eyes were listless, but a plan came to mind.

"So stingy, you won't even offer your senior a bottle of water?"

Although it was autumn, the lingering heat of late summer meant that the temperature in Beijing hadn't dropped yet. In addition, He Tingchu had carried three large suitcases in one go, so his forehead was covered in sweat, and a few strands of hair were sticking damply to his scalp.

The dormitory conditions at Kyoto University were rudimentary, with only an old-fashioned ceiling fan spinning weakly. His pola shirt clung tightly to his muscular chest, revealing his impressive physique.

Wen Xi had no water; the half-empty bottle of mineral water she was holding was something she had taken from He Tingchu's car earlier.

"I have no water."

"Senior, let me treat you to a drink." Guo Shan quickly handed him a bottle of mineral water.

He Tingchu didn't answer, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"I can't accept something for nothing. I helped her, so I'll only drink her water." The man reached out and snatched the half-empty bottle of water from her hand, tilting his head slightly upwards.

He took a few gulps, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing a few times.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment. What was this damned man doing?

Damn, sexy.

The girls' gazes lingered openly on his face for a long time, then inch by inch downwards, wantonly downwards.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and smooth lines.

At that moment, in Wen Xi's eyes, He Tingchu was like a delicious piece of meat that had entered a mother wolf's den.

Wen Xi suddenly realized the atmosphere at the scene. Although she was usually oblivious, she felt that something was not quite right.

It turned out that Li Tingting and the others were clearly spying on her man.

This won't do.

He Tingchu is now nominally hers; it's officially recognized and has legal effect.

She's not that generous.

Wen Xi began to feel involuntarily flustered.

"Senior, it's getting late, you should go, hurry up, hurry up." Wen Xi pushed his broad back and rushed him towards the door.

He Tingchu didn't want to leave yet, so he turned around and asked,

"Can you handle the rest?"

Wen Xi gave him a determined look, then pushed hard with her fingertips, and "Bang!" the dormitory door slammed shut.

"My coat." The words caught in his throat.

The little crybaby really is someone who can turn her back on you without a second thought. He Tingchu shook his head helplessly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and went downstairs.

The girls' dormitory was a building with connecting corridors. The School of Software Engineering happened to be in the next building. At the corner of the corridor, two girls bumped into him.

"Professor? What are you doing here...?"

"Take my family with you." He Tingchuyou said and left without looking back.

"Did I hear that right? The professor has a family member?... "

"Everyone has aunts, cousins, and other relatives. What's so strange about that?" the girl said dismissively.

"Hey classmate, that volunteer was so handsome! Do you have his WeChat? Could you send it to me?" Li Tingting patted Wen Xi on the shoulder, acting all familiar.

Although He Tingchu had just confronted her with a dark expression a few minutes ago, the uglier a man's face was, the more she loved him.

She likes challenges and is not interested in things that come too easily.

...

He Tingchu, that flamboyant man, is such a nuisance.

She's so annoyed.

Wen Xi had just moved in and wanted to get along well with her roommates, but she had no reason to give up her man so easily.

"I... don't have WeChat. I just bumped into him at the registration desk. Maybe he was just being kind because he saw I had a lot of luggage. It's his duty as a volunteer, after all." Wen Xi subconsciously avoided Li Tingting's gaze.

"Hey, I haven't seen any handsome volunteers. All the volunteers I've seen seem to have no sexual desire. Oh well, it's okay. Kyoto University isn't that big. I'm sure I'll run into someone." Guo Shan clicked her tongue a few times.

That's true. On second thought, Li Tingting felt that fate had brought them together, since they were both at Peking University, and they would meet again sooner or later.

What?

So, in girls' eyes, older men are the type with surging sexual tension?

Certain images flashed before her eyes, and her little face flushed slightly.

After settling in, Wen Xi went to the cafeteria to get a meal card. She called her parents, who told her they had landed in Haicheng safely and that she shouldn't worry about things at home or at the company. They also told her to study hard and to contact He Tingchu if she needed anything.

Wen Xi is feeling homesick again... her eyes are so sore.

Medical School Building

He Tingchu came this way after leaving the girls' dormitory. Wen Xi had already enrolled, but the problem of Gu Lianyu was still unresolved, and he was constantly restless.

He knocked on the door, and before anyone inside could react, he pushed it open.

"Hey, busy man, what brings you here?" Gu Lianyu looked up from the screen and glanced at the person who had come.

"I'm not as busy as you," He Tingchu said irritably.

"Here, Li Mu's wedding invitation. I'm here to deliver it." Gu Lianyu opened the drawer and tossed the wedding invitation inside to him.

He happened to run into Li Mu and his fiancée during his last visit to the hospital.

Only after asking did I find out that this guy, who had been keeping quiet all along, was actually getting married.

Unlike him, who's almost thirty and hasn't even seen a hint of a girlfriend.

"This kid is actually the first one among us to get a girlfriend... that's outrageous," Gu Lianyu said indignantly.

"Not necessarily..." He Tingchu subconsciously touched his nose, disagreeing.

"I think you're just envious." Gu Lianyu didn't catch the hidden meaning.

"By the way, about your closed-door disciple, why don't you stop misleading him? You have so many surgeries, you don't have time. How about transferring him to Director Gu's care?" He Tingchu asked tentatively.

Gu Lianyu naively thought his brother was worried about him and afraid he was working too hard; it was a deep brotherly bond.

"My uncle is even busier. Besides, this is a promising talent I specially selected. Don't underestimate her because of her young age. She has published several papers in CSI, which impressed me. She just lacks practical experience. I plan to train her well. She will definitely become an invaluable medical expert in the future." Gu Lianyu's eyes were fixed on the screen as he readily agreed.

"Is she really that amazing?"

"Of course, here, I'll send you the paper." Gu Lianyu opened the website, and He Tingchu leaned over, his head suddenly looming close.

"Hey, what are you looking at? As the saying goes, 'a trade is like a mountain,' you don't understand anything!" Gu Lianyu slammed the website shut.

He actually watched it?

"Stingy..." He Tingchu scoffed.

"Are you envious that I have such a brilliant apprentice? You don't have one? That's because you don't deserve it; your character isn't as good as mine!"

"Who cares..." the man said, glancing at him with his dark eyes.

"Knock, knock knock..." A steady knocking sound came from outside the office.

"Enter."
