Sponsored chapter (5/5)
Their gazes locked in a brief encounter across a section of the cafeteria.
Yu Baihan’s heart skipped a beat, and he set down his chopsticks. His roommate looked at him inquisitively, “What’s up?”
“What’s going on with you?”
Not bothering to explain for now, he stood up and hurried toward Lu Huan, a delightful surprise surging within him, “Lu Huan!”
As he approached, Lu Huan’s handsome visage came into view.
His features might appear reserved, but his eyes exudes warmth, instantly triggering memories of the past few days.
Yu Baihan was brimming with joy, wishing he could embrace Lu Huan immediately and give Senior Lu an affectionate hug! He extended his hand, but then felt numerous gazes from behind.
With a twinge of regret, he gave up on the hug and instead tugged at the hem of Lu Huan’s shirt, “Why are you here?”
Lu Huan gazed at him with lowered eyes, “I had some matters to attend to at school.”
Oh~ something’s up. Yu Baihan read between the lines, “Didn’t you come to visit your fellow Junior Baihan?”
A slight blush tinged Lu Huan’s earlobes, and he pressed his lips for a moment before changing the topic, “Isn’t Junior Baihan inviting me to lunch?”
Yu Baihan immediately remembered: he almost forgot, Senior Lu came to him for a “meal invitation”!
He proudly fetched his meal card, pinched it between his fingers, and said, “Here, just swipe it for whatever you’d like.”
Lu Huan smiled gently, “Let’s have the same wonton noodles that Junior Baihan prepared.”
Yu Baihan led him to the counter, swiped his card happily, and turned to playfully teased, “I’ll add an extra serving of fried chicken nuggets for you, so you can savor the affection of your junior to the fullest~”
Accepting the tray, Lu Huan remarked, “Let the junior foot the bill.”
Yu Baihan retorted, “Senior, you’re becoming more old-fashioned again.”
“……”
Upon finishing their meal, the two headed back to the table where Yu Baihan had been seated.
Liu Jinci and the others were still reeling from the whirlwind of events, their gaze fixed on Lu Huan following Yu Baihan in, seemingly lost in a daze.
As the duo approached, Lu Huan’s face came into clear view.
Liu Jinci stared for a moment, then exclaimed, “Damn!” He probed further, “Is your photo on the wall of honor…”
Senior Lu was truly famous.
Yu Baihan proudly introduced him to the group, “Exactly, our distinguished alumnus, Senior Lu Huan.”
Simultaneously, the group exclaimed, “Damn!”
The legendary academic icon of C University, the youngest honorary alumnus— the person featured on the photo wall was standing right in front of them!
They immediately sat up straight and greeted respectfully, “Hello, senior.”
Yu Baihan led Lu Huan to a seat, saying, “These are my roommates, I sent you their photos.”
“Indeed.” Lu Huan acknowledged them, saying, “Hello.”
After the introductions, Lu Huan picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Yu Baihan eyed the fried chicken on his own plate and sneakily poked one with his chopsticks. Lu Huan glanced sideways. “Isn’t this for my indulgence?”
Yu Bai playfully nibbles it. “Can’t I indulge you?”
Lu Huan gave him a half-smile, nudging the chicken nugget towards him. He then lowered his head to enjoy his wonton noodles.
A few curious glances at the table were fixated on the two of them, wanting to ask something but hesitating.
Unaware of their curiosity, Yu Baihan leaned closer to Lu Huan, asking, “Is it tasty?”
Lu Huan, well-versed, responded, “Since Brother Baihan invited me, I wouldn’t dare not eat.”
“Look at you, so articulate~”
“……”
After lunch, a group of them exited the cafeteria together.
It was the lunch break, and there were no scheduled activities. Yu Baihan bid farewell to his roommate outside the cafeteria, saying, “I won’t be heading back to the dorm with you guys.”

As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with excitement and visible anticipation.

… this question also intrigued him.
Yu Baihan turned towards their puzzled roommates and asked sincerely, “Who is Miss Ma?”
Several people exchanged uncertain glances.
Fang Jian observed the expressions of the two carefully, “It’s the one who called you that night, Ma Kahuan.”
“……”
“……”
Puff! Yu Baihan burst into laughter, his body shaking with mirth as he edged away from the others’ view. In no time, he was gently lifted by another hand.
Lu Huan gazed at him with curiosity, asking, “Is it really that amusing?”
Yu Baihan chuckled happily. He tugged at Lu Huan’s shirt and turned to make a solemn introduction to the three bewildered roommates, “Ladies and gentlemen, meet Miss Ma, also known as Ma Kahuan, Lu Huan.”
“………”?
The trio slowly processed this overwhelming information, and then their eyes widened in shock, “Damn!!!”
What did this mean?
The legendary Senior Lu…
Is their roommate’s significant other!?
No longer concerning themselves with the roommates left in a daze, Yu Baihan and the others waved goodbye and departed with Lu Huan.
—
At this moment, most people had already returned to their dormitories for the lunch break. The campus, vast and serene, had only a few individuals wandering about.
The two of them strolled in a direction opposite to that of the dormitories.
The afternoon sun bathed the broad, clean pathways in light, with lush fields on one side and academic buildings on the other.
The campus was tranquil and still, basking in the sunlight.
After walking for a while, Yu Baihan playfully hooked Lu Huan’s finger, and soon, his hand was enveloped by a larger one.
Lu Huan turned to gaze at him.
Yu Baihan’s lips curved into a smile, and he gently squeezed Lu Huan’s hand, “You haven’t told me yet. Why are you here at the school?”
Lu Huan looked back, his gaze set ahead, “I was invited to give a lecture at the business school’s summer camp as an honorary alumnus and industry role model.”
Yu Baihan spun his head sharply, “Your speech…”
Transforming from a broken bird to a soaring eagle…
He received a firm squeeze on his hand.
Lu Huan stared at him intently, his intensity softening Yu Baihan a bit. Yu Baihan nestled closer, resting his chin on Lu Huan’s arm, and playfully accused him, “Senior, you seem quite fierce. Could it be you’re blushing with anger?”
Lu Huan’s breathing became uneven. He looked down at Yu Baihan for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze away. Finally, his eyes landed on a vending machine at the roadside.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Are you thirsty?”
Didn’t they just have wonton noodles in clear soup for lunch?
“I…” As Yu Baihan began to speak, he caught a glimpse of the slight warmth in Lu Huan’s eyes. He suddenly felt blessed and changed the subject, “A bit.”
He added, “I want orange flavor.”
Lu Huan softly replied, “Sure.”
A bottle of orange-flavored soda was quickly obtained.
Yu Baihan took it and took a few sips, the refreshing and sweet taste mingling with the effervescence that teased the tip of his tongue.
Sweet and tangy, a perfect match for summer.
After he finished sipping, he offered it to Lu Huan, “Want some?”
Lu Huan hummed in agreement and took a couple of sips, his ears turning red. After drinking, he held the soda in one hand and Yu Baihan in the other. “Let’s go.”
They turned around a teaching building, revealing an empty pathway behind it.
One side was shaded by trees, and dappled light and shadow climbed up the light gray wall along the pathway.
The two walked a few steps forward along the tree-lined path.
Yu Baihan raised his eyes to look at Lu Huan. There seemed to be no expression on that typically composed face, but the reddened ears and tightly pressed lips betrayed a hint of emotion.
It was imperceptible yet enticing.
Yu Baihan’s heart skipped a beat.
He held Lu Huan’s hand and stopped, pursed his lips, and looked at the person before him, “I feel like having orange soda.”
Lu Huan turned his head to meet his gaze, just as he lifted the orange soda in his hand. But then his hand was gently tugged again. Yu Baihan’s cheeks flushed, his eyes glowing softly, “Actually, I feel like having orange juice.”
The hands intertwined seemed to quiver.
The faint blush at the base of the ears deepened suddenly. Lu Huan paused for a few seconds, his eyelashes dropping as he leaned in.
The seemingly aloof handsome face approached with unadulterated desire. The corners of Yu Baihan’s lips curled up suddenly, intending to tease Lu Huan, “Is there surveillance here? What if someone sees us?”
As the approaching movement came to a halt, Lu Huan raised his eyes.
The dark eyes mirrored his face clearly, tinged with a trace of indulgence. Lu Huan’s breathing became slightly erratic. “There’s no surveillance.”
“How do you know?” Yu Baihan squeezed his hand, “Oh~ Did you do something mischievous secretly?”
“I’m the president of the student body.”
“…” He almost forgot, their exceptional senior Lu was also the president of the student union.
Yu Baihan praised, “Your student union seems quite intricate.”
Lu Huan lowered his eyes and smiled.
The deep voice was laced with warmth, tickling the eardrums. Yu Baihan blushed, sidestepped, and leaned against the wall, gently pulling Lu Huan closer. Hey~
Lu Huan propped himself up with his hands by Yu Baihan’s side, lowered his head, and leaned in.
Ambiguous breaths mingled.
Yu Baihan lifted his head and met Lu Huan’s lips, his slender eyelashes dropping and fluttering.
Lu Huan searched for his lips and moved closer.
The soft lips were pressed together, Yu Baihan raised his hand and hugged Lu Huan’s neck, rubbed those lips and said vaguely, “Senior Lu is so unscrupulous, he specially took Junior Baihan to a place where there is no surveillance… ”
The cold face in front of him was instantly dyed red.
Messy breathing brushed his face.
Lu Huan seemed to be seduced by desire, closed his eyes, and kissed him, groping for the sweet orange smell, like rain after a long drought.
Yu Baihan leaned his back against the wall and put his arms around Lu Huan’s shoulders. A hand fell to hold his waist, and the thin material revealed the scorching temperature of the palm.
With a twitch of his sensitive waist, he limps in Lu Huan’s arms.
With the movement of the kiss, the mottled light and shadow from the gaps in the leaves above the head flickered before Yu Baihan’s eyes from time to time. Shaking, dreamlike and dazzling.
His eyelashes fluttered, the tip of his tongue touched Lu Huan, and he did not forget to call “senior” twice between his lips.
Then, it calls for more fierce kisses.
Yu Baihan was so dizzy from being kissed, he was satisfied: That’s right, be more vigorous.
…
After a prolonged moment, Lu Huan released him and steadied his breath, their foreheads gently touching.
Yu Baihan opened his eyes to see Lu Huan’s delicate eyelashes casting a shadow, his eyes brimming with emotion, causing his heart to flutter.
It seemed that Lu Huan also enjoyed playing the role of “Senior Lu.”
Just contemplating this, Lu Huan raised his eyelashes and looked at him again. Their eyes met and seemed to be drawn to each other again.
However, the current setting was clearly not suitable for further indulgence, so they shifted their gazes and stood up to compose themselves.
Yu Baihan’s face still displayed an elated expression, his lips rosy. Lu Huan’s eyes lingered on his face for a few seconds, then he lightly pressed the back of his hand, “Are you feeling sleepy?”
Could anyone be sleepy after that?
Yu Baihan caressed the back of his hand contentedly, “Full of energy.”
Lu Huan remarked, “If you’re not sleepy, then I won’t return to the dormitory later.”
Yu Baihan instantly brightened and gestured, “Absolutely not!” Senior Lu was here—why would he need to go back to the dormitory?
“Indeed.” The corners of Lu Huan’s mouth lifted, clearly in a good mood.
There was about an hour left until the end of the lunch break, and they decided to take a leisurely walk around the school.
Yu Baihan held Lu Huan’s hand as they emerged from the pathway. His face was still flushed, and Lu Huan noticed, picking up the cool orange soda and gently applying it to his face.
“Hiss…what are you doing, being mischievous again?”
“To cool you down.”
As they chatted, they encountered another person.
Yu Baihan turned his head to glance, recognizing him from H University of Science and Technology. One of the guys caught his eye, and it felt familiar at first, then he remembered—Oh, he’s the one Liu Jinci mentioned…
Try not to mix them up.
He turned his head back, guiding Lu Huan onto another pathway, “Shall we head to the lake? There’s a small pavilion there.”
“That sounds good.”
The two groups passed each other swiftly.
While walking, Yu Baihan thought about Lu Huan’s lecture and couldn’t help but feel anxious, “When is your lecture?”
Lu Huan mentioned, “It’s at three in the afternoon. At two, I’ll drop you off at the exchange meeting, then head to the business school to meet Dean Chen.”
Regret filled Yu Baihan’s eyes, “It’s a shame, I also wanted to witness Senior Lu’s splendid performance live.”
Splendid.
A moment of silence ensued.
Then Lu Huan murmured, “If everything goes smoothly, it will be available on the school’s official website tomorrow.”
Yu Baihan suddenly remembered the reincarnation video.
He couldn’t help but admire Lu Huan, “So, destiny entrusts great responsibilities to people…”
Lu Huan’s gaze shifted to him suddenly, peering deeply into his eyes. Yu Baihan stared for a moment, then consciously looked away, “…”
Indeed, he just stopped sighing.
—
The two wandered around the school until nearly two o’clock, then headed to the Academy of Arts for the exchange meeting.
Approaching the venue, a stream of students had already gathered. The two stopped holding hands and engaged in conversation as they made their way.
However, Lu Huan’s remarkable stature and unfamiliar face continued to draw significant attention.
Yu Baihan halted about ten meters from the exchange meeting entrance and signaled to Lu Huan, “This is where we part ways.”
Lu Huan nodded, “Let me know if you need anything.”
They bid farewell, and Yu Baihan turned and entered the exchange meeting.
Liu Jinci and the others were already there. They seemed to have recovered from their initial surprise, greeting Yu Baihan with admiration, “Back from your date?”
Yu Baihan nodded cheerfully, “Yes, hehe~”
A few of them wanted to gossip a bit more, but they noticed that several instructors from the academy had entered, and the venue quickly hushed.
Most of the students had arrived, and Yu Baihan found his seat.
As soon as he sat down, a voice from the other end caught his attention, “Dean Xue, is this a private summer camp?”
Yu Baihan looked up at the speaker.
Standing in front of Xue Qin was the boy from H University of Science and Technology he had encountered earlier on the road.
An inexplicable thought crossed his mind, and a few eyes around him were now fixed on him with keen interest.
Xue Qin frowned and asked, “Of course, what’s wrong?”
In the next moment, Yu Baihan observed the boy turning his head, directing his gaze towards him. The boy lifted his chin slightly, as if he had grasped something, and stated each word deliberately.
“If someone brings unrelated individuals onto the campus during the summer camp, what action should your school take?”
Oh, oh, face-slapping incoming! Is that idiot trying to be a snitch or what, pfft.
And Lu Huan and Baihan are so sweet! They adore each other, they are so gentle, considerate, respectful, devoted, empathetic — I can’t think of enough words, they just move my heart, it brightens my day.
Thank you for the update 💕
💜
Ah they’re so sweet!!!
Thank you for the update! I look forward to the face slapping
💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks for the chapter! Can’t wait to see what happens next lol
Is it just me or do there seem to be parts missing from these last two chapters?
I don’t think so? 🤔
I’ll check later at night if there’s any missing paragraph(s)
After re-reading a few times (as well as the next chapter), I was definitely mistaken!!!! I think it was mainly because the ‘problem student’ wasn’t named until the next chapter but was referred to a few time; as well as in the last chapter when he was being introduced, it suddenly changed back to the text messages between Lu Huan and Baihan lol. But yeah, no worries it was just me not reading properly.
Glad to hear that!
<3 I love those two. This baby cannon fodder doesn’t even know who he is snitching on. Like seriously it isn’t like they were sneaking around. Did it ever cross your mind that they are so open because they don’t have to sneak.
Honestly if I were a teacher and someone was behaving this way that would lower my evaluation of them. If you need to pull someone down to pull yourself up then you are clearly lacking. If your skills were good they would speak for themselves. A Also how smart is it to begin making enemies before you even enter a school.
Dude, what’s your problem? From the start this unnamed H Uni dude is creating trouble. What’s his deal? Lacking attention? 🤨
Brainless canonfodder has entered the chat
Unrelated? Bro’s about to give a lecture and he’s an alumnus lolol
Now the fluff is here, could do without this aggro 😠 Hope some face slapping is coming 💪
Thanks for the chapter 💞
Aaah, the crisp sound of face-slapping 🤣This novel is a lot more fun than I thought at the start; thank you so much, Lynn, for translating 💞
Just shut up! if you’re going to talk nonsense! 😤🫠
“unrelated individuals” boi he can be ur dad in terms of intelligence lmaooo
