The Cold and Aloof Department Head Sleeping in the Bunk to My Right

Monday, 8:00 AM.

Jiang Linyuan walked into the classroom.

Each autumn rain brings a chill, and it had rained throughout the night.

The temperature in Jinling plummeted overnight, as if winter had forcibly usurped summer, leaving the days bone-chillingly cold.

After saying goodbye to Lin Yilin yesterday, Jiang Linyuan chatted with her online for a long time, providing her with a profound ideological education.

He made her realize what a magnificent undertaking it is to be a wingman!

Consequently, when Jiang Linyuan woke up this morning, he was exhausted, so he used a skill on himself.

[Renewed], activate!

Instantly, Jiang Linyuan was full of vigor, feeling like he could punch Su Muzhi to death with a single blow.

What if he couldn't kill her? He'd just hit her a few more times.

He pulled out his phone and began his daily harassment of Shen Wanyu.

"Minister, Minister, it's cold out, remember to drink plenty of hot water."

One sentence to warm her up for the whole day.

"Mm."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.

WTF, the Minister has learned long-distance voice transmission!

Jiang Linyuan was shocked. He looked up and realized someone was standing next to him: Shen Wanyu.

"Is the seat next to you taken?"

She asked indifferently.

"No one, no one."

Jiang Linyuan waved his hand, looking at Shen Wanyu with some confusion.

Did I walk into the wrong classroom? How did a Minister automatically refresh here?

Shen Wanyu sat down slowly and glanced at him:

"I also signed up for this class."

"Oh."

That's even weirder; how come I've never really seen her?

Shen Wanyu looked straight ahead and said:

"You haven't been to this class many times, have you?"

Jiang Linyuan was stunned. It was true.

This elective was scheduled for 8:00 AM and was a total blow-off class; the professor didn't like taking attendance, so why not skip it?

Besides, can you really call it skipping class when it comes to electives?

Anyway, he had only been here once. Today, if it weren't for [Renewed] leaving him with nowhere to vent his excess energy, he wouldn't have come either.

"Minister, I'll come to this class every day from now on!"

Jiang Linyuan said solemnly.

"That's good. Then help me answer the roll call if the professor takes attendance later."

Shen Wanyu nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Linyuan tilted his head.

"I haven't been to this class many times either."

Shen Wanyu said bluntly.

666, what happened to your image as a cold goddess?!

Are you trying to mess with me? Want me to attend class for you for free? Don't even think about it!

"That won't do. If the Minister isn't here, what would be the point of me coming?"

Jiang Linyuan tactfully rejected Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu wasn't surprised at all; she simply laid her head down and instructed him:

"Then I'm going to sleep for a while."

With that, she fell soundly asleep.

This Shen Wanyu really is something else.

Slacking off like this every day, doesn't your conscience hurt?

Besides, at your age, how are you able to fall asleep!

Jiang Linyuan looked at Shen Wanyu's profile.

I have to say, her little face is quite pretty, cold and aloof, with the fragile air of an ice beauty.

She is truly the card-swiping girl I set my sights on.

It's just a pity that she doesn't show much expression from morning till night.

Shen Wanyu, I hate that you have no heart!

On the podium, the gray-haired old professor was narrating the art and philosophy of Ancient Rome word by word, which Jiang Linyuan found incredibly boring.

With nothing better to do, I might as well tease Binary Sister.

Jiang Linyuan took out his phone again.

"Junior, junior, it's getting cold, make sure to stay warm."

"Mm-hmm, you stay warm too, Senior."

Binary Sister replied very quickly, as simple and cute as ever.

"Then could you say something sweet to warm me up, Junior? I'm freezing to death over here."

"...I don't want to talk to a self-absorbed Senior anymore."

Lin Yilin sent a little rabbit emoji looking angry right after, so cute.

"Junior, I treat you like my little comfort, and you actually call me self-absorbed!"

"Go to hell! You're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you!"

What's wrong with that? Do you want me to call you Mommy instead?

Valorant Bro is ecstatic!

The two of them went back and forth, chatting quite happily.

But someone else was not happy.

The old professor on the podium narrowed his eyes, looking at the two idiots in the classroom—one sleeping and one playing on his phone.

Oh my, these young people!

"The girl sleeping in the back row, someone next to her wake her up and have her answer this question."

Jiang Linyuan grinned.

He put away his phone and nudged Shen Wanyu:

"Minister, time to wake up!"

Waking up, Shen Wanyu grabbed Jiang Linyuan's hand, her eyes looking at him as if they were frozen over.

Oh boy, she has morning grumpiness? If you keep this up, I'm really going to have to control you, for real.

"What do you want?"

Only after seeing clearly that the person beside her was Jiang Linyuan did she slowly let go of his hand and ask calmly.

"The teacher wants you to answer a question."

Jiang Linyuan said.

Shen Wanyu stood up, not flustered in the slightest, and said quite calmly:

"Teacher, I didn't bring my glasses, so I can't see very clearly."

The old professor chuckled:

"Then come sit in the front; you'll be able to see better."

Shen Wanyu didn't say a word and sat down in the empty front row.

Hahaha, Shen Wanyu, look at you now!

Jiang Linyuan grinned.

"And the boy who just woke her up, you come answer this question."

Jiang Linyuan stopped grinning.

This... this isn't right.

He slowly stood up, stared at the blackboard for a while, and pretended to be deep in thought.

The old professor laughed happily:

"Did you forget your glasses too? Can't see?"

Teacher, why are you using my lines?

You have no professional ethics! Coming to trick and ambush a young man like me!

Jiang Linyuan struggled for a moment and then gave an awkward smile:

"Teacher, the blackboard is reflecting light, I can't see it clearly."

The old professor laughed out loud:

"You come sit in the front too."

Jiang Linyuan didn't say a word and sat down next to Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu glanced at him:

"Is the blackboard reflecting light?"

Jiang Linyuan let out a cold snort:

"Didn't bring your glasses?"

The old professor saw their little interaction and sighed inwardly.

Being young is truly great.

"You two, listen to the lecture properly!"

After saying that, the old professor began his long, hypnotic lullaby once again.

During the break.

"Department Head, I'm going to the restroom, want to come with me?"

Shen Wanyu looked at him as if he were an idiot.

The Department Head felt a bit shy; he was embarrassed by this.

Jiang Linyuan's plan to walk together was shattered, so he had to go off to relieve himself all alone.

When he returned and reached the doorway, he saw a familiar figure.

It was Liu Tingting.

She actually came looking for me?!

What a Liu Tingting, while others block bridges, you block doors!

The moment she saw Jiang Linyuan, she trotted over and said with a hint of complaint:

"Seeing you, Junior, is truly no simple task."

"Hahaha."

Facing a green tea who had long since passed her expiration date, Jiang Linyuan laughed without a care:

"If you want to see me, Senior, you can see me every day in the boys' dormitory."

Liu Tingting: ...

How did this Junior turn into such a ghost after not being in contact for a few days?

Liu Tingting looked at him mournfully, her brows filled with an endless sorrow, and she whispered:

"Junior, are you still sad because I rejected you back then?"

As she spoke, she took Jiang Linyuan's hand, looking at him with deep affection:

"It was my fault, Senior was just too anxious and nervous at the time. Let's take things slowly, okay?"

Jiang Linyuan silently pulled his hand back, looking wistful:

"Senior, in our line of work, the biggest taboo is falling in love with the client."

Are you a gigolo!? What kind of taboo is that!

Seeing Jiang Linyuan resisting her, Liu Tingting didn't continue to press him. Instead, she took a step back to advance, holding his hand:

"It's okay, we're still friends, aren't we? Junior, add me back on social media."

Students entering and leaving the classroom watched this scene with surprise, their eyes filled with undisguised gossip.

A beauty, a handsome guy, and a mournful scene... there's tea to be spilled!

Jiang Linyuan didn't want any more entanglements with Liu Tingting and intended to say something harsh to make a clean break.

"Junior, don't be so heartless, I'm begging you."

Seeing Jiang Linyuan's expression turn cold, Liu Tingting raised her voice, drawing the attention of all the passing students.

With so many people watching, surely he wouldn't say anything too harsh.

Jiang Linyuan noticed the growing number of onlookers and looked at Liu Tingting with a strange expression.

In this day and age, is being a clown not satisfying enough without an audience?

Sigh, fine, I'll fulfill your circus dream and make you lose face completely!

Just as Jiang Linyuan opened his mouth to mock Liu Tingting, a cold, clear voice rang out:

"Are you on your period too? Why did you take so long in the restroom?"

He turned around to see Shen Wanyu.

She swept a cold gaze across the surroundings. Everyone who met her eyes instinctively looked away, losing all interest in the spectacle, and walked off with awkward smiles.

Finally, Shen Wanyu's gaze landed on Liu Tingting:

"Don't ask for trouble. A graceful exit counts as a good ending."

The flat, straightforward tone carried such a powerful aura that it made Liu Tingting feel a shiver of fear in her heart.

What kind of background does this woman have?

"Who are you? I haven't heard the junior..."

"Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Shen Wanyu cut her off directly and stepped forward, her tall figure looming over Liu Tingting, forcing her to instinctively retreat.

She didn't make a move, yet she gave off the distinct impression that if Liu Tingting said one more word of nonsense, she would be slapped.

The sense of déjà vu was quite strong.

Liu Tingting was sweating profusely.
