Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

Yan Xi's hand, holding the soy milk cup, froze in mid-air.

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in those usually calm and aloof eyes.

"What?" She wondered if she had misheard.

I said, "My parents want to meet you."

Li Chen repeated it, then observed her reaction with great interest.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a "crash" expression on Yan Xi's face.

It feels quite novel.

She remembered the phone call Li Chen received in the garden at her home last time.

It turns out that the phone call not only called for outside help, but also inadvertently leaked military intelligence.

"They...know everything?" Yan Xi asked.

"Yes." Li Chen nodded. "Not only do I know you, but I also know you're beautiful, you're my senior, and your family is very wealthy."

Yan Xi: "..."

Looking at Yan Xi, she seemed unusually at a loss.

A mischievous pleasure rose in Li Chen's heart.

You always try to hook me and trick me.

Now, it's your turn to be caught off guard by my family's "magical attack," isn't it?

"so……"

Li Chen deliberately dragged out his words, mimicking her usual tone, and asked, "Your Majesty, shall we accept this dungeon or not?"

Yan Xi raised her eyes and glared at him.

That look was as if he were looking at a scoundrel who had gotten a good deal but was now acting innocent.

She did not answer immediately.

Instead, he picked up the soy milk and took a big gulp, seemingly trying to calm his somewhat chaotic emotions.

for a long time.

She put down her cup, looked at Li Chen, and slowly uttered two words.

"time."

Li Chen was taken aback.

Then, I realized what was happening.

He smiled.

He laughed like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

"No rush," he said. "We can discuss it when you have time."

He knew she had agreed.

This is the queen who always keeps everything under her control.

When faced with a "surprise attack" from his family.

In the end, they chose to face the challenge.

Instead of retreating.

After breakfast.

As usual, Li Chen escorted Yan Xi to the west building of the architecture department.

Neither of them mentioned the topic again on the way.

It was as if it were just a trivial little episode.

But Li Chen could sense it.

Yan Xi, who was beside him, seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Several times while she was walking, she almost moved her arms and legs together.

At the entrance of the west building.

Li Chen stopped in his tracks.

"Okay, I've arrived," Yan Xi said.

"Okay." Li Chen nodded. "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"We'll see." Yan Xi said, then turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

"Xi Xi." Li Chen suddenly called out to her.

Yan Xi turned around.

A warm and gentle smile graced Li Chen's face.

"Don't be nervous," he said. "My parents, they... are very nice people."

"Well, sometimes, maybe, I'm a bit... enthusiastic."

Yan Xi looked at him without saying a word.

But her shoulders, which had been tense all along, seemed to relax quietly at this moment.

She gave a soft "hmm".

Then, he turned around and walked into the teaching building without looking back.

Li Chen watched her retreating figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

The smile on his face grew even brighter.

He turned around, humming an off-key tune, and walked towards his department's teaching building.

This morning, there was a computer science student taking a required course, the class of Liu Yidao, the leader of the "Four Great Constables".

Li Chen, go and reserve seats for his three eldest sons.

Since his "one-battle godhood" in Liu Yidao's class last time.

His status in the computer science department underwent a dramatic change.

In the past, when people mentioned him, they always said...

"Oh, that really handsome guy, Yan Xi's boyfriend, the cute puppy boyfriend."

Now, when people mention him, that's what they mean.

"Holy crap! Li Shen! That guy who completely dominated Li Hao, even Liu Yidao was full of praise for him, he's a true academic genius!"

The most direct manifestation of this change is...

When Li Chen walked into the lecture hall.

The classroom, which had been somewhat noisy, instantly fell silent.

All eyes immediately turned to him.

In those eyes, there was admiration, awe, and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

In particular, when their gaze swept to Li Chen's wrist, to that piece of jewelry worth over 300,000 yuan, Jiang Shidan was immediately...

This sense of awe becomes more concrete.

He's good-looking, rich, capable, and has a goddess-like girlfriend.

Is this guy here to go to college?

This is clearly a protagonist from a wish-fulfillment novel descending to earth to experience life!

Li Chen ignored the gazes around him.

He went straight to the prime spot in the classroom.

Fourth row, middle.

This spot offers the best view, is neither too close nor too far from the blackboard, and is also less likely to get called on by the teacher.

It's the dream destination for all academic underachievers, a place of perfect feng shui.

He took four books out of his bag.

One of them is his.

The other three are Wang Qiang's "An Actor Prepares", Zhao Zixuan's "The King of the Sea's Self-Management", and Chen Mo's "Introduction to Quantum Physics".

He placed these three books, each with a unique style of illustration, in turn on the three empty seats next to him.

After doing all this, he sat down, put on his headphones, and began listening to English radio broadcasts.

The students around them, watching this scene, all wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

What they envied was not that Li Chen could occupy such a good position.

Rather, it was those three people who could get Li Shen to personally reserve seats for them.

That must have taken countless lifetimes of good deeds!

Just then.

A familiar figure appeared at the classroom door.

It's Li Hao.

He was dressed very casually today, wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Li Chen sitting in the fourth row.

His body visibly stiffened for a moment.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

There was resentment and bitterness, but more than anything, there was helplessness and fear.

Ever since the last time, when Li Chen publicly executed him in front of the whole class.

He, once a computer science genius, has become a complete joke.

Now, when he walks down the street, he can feel people pointing and whispering about him from behind.

He wanted to rebel and seek revenge.

But he discovered that he was completely powerless.

Whether it's family background, talent, or women.

He was completely crushed by Li Chen in every way.

This deep-seated sense of powerlessness almost consumed him.

In the end, he didn't dare to look at Li Chen again.

I sheepishly found a spot in the very corner and sat down.

Like a stray dog ​​with its spine broken.

Li Chen didn't even glance at him once from beginning to end.

This is a defeated opponent who is no longer a threat.

He felt that even wasting a second of his attention was a luxury.

after awhile.

The three "old men" from dormitory 302 finally arrived, albeit late.

"Holy shit! Godfather! Awesome!"

As soon as Wang Qiang entered the classroom, he saw Li Chen in the fourth row, and those three books that radiated a sacred light.

He yelled and charged forward.

"Godfather, you are my real father! I love you!"

He grabbed Li Chen and wanted to kiss him on the cheek.

"Get lost." Li Chen pushed him away with a look of disgust.

Zhao Zixuan and Chen Mo also came over.

"Brother Chen, you're so loyal." Zhao Zixuan patted Li Chen on the shoulder.

"According to my calculations, your act of reserving a seat this morning increased your personal charm value by at least ten percentage points," Chen Mo said, adjusting his glasses and analyzing seriously.

"Alright, stop joking around and sit down."

The four people took their seats in turn.

Wang Qiang looked at Li Chen and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Godfather, I've noticed you've changed lately."

"Oh? What's changed?"

"You used to sleep until the very last second, never waking up a minute early," Wang Qiang said. "Now you're actually coming to save seats for us."

"Is this the power of love?"

"Get lost," Li Chen said with a laugh.

He didn't say anything.

He got up early to reserve a seat.

It was simply because after dropping Yan Xi off, it was still early, and I didn't want to go back to that chaotic dormitory.

However, looking around, these three lively characters were chattering away.

He felt that this feeling was not bad.

He turned his head and looked out the window.

The sunlight is just right.

He suddenly felt a pang of longing.

I miss that person, who occasionally appears in this classroom.

I sat next to him, doing nothing, just quietly watching his figure.

He took out his phone and opened WeChat.

The cat avatar pinned to the top still lies there quietly.
