In the hot summer, C University had just started a new semester.
Following the sound of cicadas and shade, climbing the stairs of the lecture hall, students were discussing excitedly.
“They say we have a new Microeconomics Professor this year.”
“Yes, I heard that he did his undergraduate degree at U University and his graduate degree at T University. After graduating, he was invited to the Ivy League for half a year to study as an exchange student, and he just came back. He has been promoted to professor because of his brilliant record, and we are his first class.”
“Yeah, how cool!”
“What’s so exciting about a new teacher?”
“Our Class President saw him this morning at the secretary’s office, and he’s particularly handsome!”
“How handsome is he?”
“Rumor has it he has no trouble crushing the top ten most handsome guys at our university.”
“Is that true? Isn’t that too much of an exaggeration?”
“Believe it or not, the Class President secretly took a picture of him, and with those crappy pixels and the bad perspective, they don’t do him justice. The real person is better. Hey! Here he comes!”
The girl was excitedly clapping hands with her classmates as she stared at the front door of the classroom.
There were a few students who were almost as expectant as she was, and the originally noisy class became quiet. Under the gaze of the crowd, a pair of long legs adorned by straight suit pants stepped through the door.
Shiny black leather shoes stepped into the room and a young man in a smoky gray suit walked slowly toward the podium.
After putting down his teaching materials, tidying up the table, turning on the projector, and setting up a small microphone, the young man looked up. The thin silvered glasses reflected a cold light. Beneath the soft glasses, the smile on that handsome face was gentle and friendly.
The man looked up and surveyed the large classroom.
“Hello, I am the Professor of Microeconomics, Yu Rui.”
The stricken silence in the classroom had not been broken since he entered until now, as his words brought everyone’s consciousness back to reality.
After a few seconds, the students in the classroom came back to their senses, exclaiming in a cracked, unanimous voice.
“He’s so handsome.”
“My god, why is he a professor and not a celebrity?”
“He’s so handsome I won’t be able to pay attention to the class anymore. I’m sure I’ll just stare at his face!”
“That’s it, that’s it, I’m afraid I’m going to fail this subject…!”
The young man at the podium turned a deaf ear to these comments, the smile on his neat face remained unchanged and his eyes remained kind and nonchalant.
He opened his planner, “I hope we will have a good professor-student relationship during the coming semester. Before we begin, I would like to explain the criteria and corresponding requirements expected for this course by the end of the semester…”
The unmistakable voice echoed in the classroom like a purifying spring, soothing and refreshing in the summer heat. In the last row of the whole class, at the top of the classroom, in an unnoticed corner, was a man in a casual shirt and jeans sprawled across the table.
At the sound of the voice, the man moved.
After a few more seconds, the black-capped man looked up.
The dark eyes hidden under the cap slowly settled on the young man at the podium. A few seconds later, under the cap covering half of his face, the man’s lips slowly curved in a meaningful arc.

“Pa’r clmf ab yf tjcvrbwf, yea tbk mjc tf afjmt rb kfii…?”
“Yes. I thought I would look at his face for the whole class, but I never thought I would pay attention.”
“It’s been a year since I entered the major, but for the first time, I feel the charm of economics… This elite class kills me, but it’s a pity that he’s only a professor.”
“If everyone taught like him, I’d be willing to stay in class every day.”
“Who wouldn’t?”
When the gossip in the classroom had died down a bit, Yu Rui had also finished tidying up. After picking everything up and giving two taps, the whole class fell silent as gazes turned to Yu Rui.
Yu Rui smiled, “At the end of each lesson there is time for three questions; send the rest to me and I will answer if it’s relevant.”
The students quickly raised their hands.
Yu Rui answered two questions. After the two questions in a row, there was only one left, the girls in the front row raised their hands more eagerly.
Yu Rui was about to speak when a lazy voice sounded from the corner of the back row of the classroom.
“May I ask you a question… Professor Yu?”
Yu Rui’s figure froze.
After a few seconds, he hid the surprise behind his glasses and his eyes lifted to look at the uppermost and last row of the classroom.
He couldn’t distinguish the age of the man wearing a black cap and casual clothes.
Yu Rui’s eyes faltered slightly and a faint smile reappeared on his face, “Yes.”
“!!”
The students froze in surprise as none of them had thought to ask about personal things. They turned in surprise to see the person.
Then, the girls were surprised again.
“Is this… a classmate of ours?”
“How is that possible? Someone so handsome… how is it possible that we’ve never seen him all year? I think he must not be from our faculty, otherwise, that face would have been exposed in the forum long ago.”
“What a lucky day is this! For the first time, it seems the world is full of handsome men.”
“Ah, I like them both.”
There was plenty of discussion among the students, but the man remained still, silent.
Although Yu Rui could not see clearly from a distance and because of the cap, he could feel the aggressive gaze that never left his body.
Yu Rui’s smile tensed, “This student…you may ask your question.”
The class quieted down.
Then they heard a lazy laugh.
“Sorry, Professor Yu, my question is more personal. It’s not convenient to ask here.” With those words, he got up from his seat and lazily walked down the classroom.
When he reached the podium, the man put his hands in his pockets and looked at Yu Rui, who was dressed in a suit at the podium.
With his back to the entire class, the dark eyes under the cap no longer hid his emotions, and insatiably, he slowly observed the person in front of him from head to toe.
Then, the man lowered his head and let out a low chuckle, “May I… Mr. Yu?”
Yu Rui suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and his smile was so soft that it was like a spring breeze, “Sure.”
“Uh…” The students made sounds akin to regret or dissatisfaction, but the three questions had been exhausted and no one dared to continue. And although the young professor seemed friendly, the elitist and aloof manner in which he delivered the lecture made them savor a bit of alienation.
The students scattered.
Yu Rui turned off the computer, put away his notes, turned around, and walked down from the podium, not looking at the man standing under the podium, “I have to return the keys first, you can follow me.”
The man in the baseball cap smiled, “Yes, Professor Yu.”
After leaving the classroom, Yu Rui headed straight to the Faculty of Economics offices.
The faculty of C University has quite a lot of resources, especially the Faculty of Economics. There were offices for two people above the rank of professor, so Yu Rui took out his key and opened the door of his office, but no one was there.
He let go of the doorknob and walked in, “Leave the door open. If you have any questions, ask.”
Just as he finished speaking, the door behind him clicked shut and then clicked again as it was locked from the inside.
Yu Rui’s steps stopped.
Two or three seconds later, he turned around with a faint expression and looked at the man with the baseball cap standing by the door, “Is something wrong, student?”
“… Nothing.” Under the baseball cap, the man’s mouth curved, and his smile was inexplicably a little grim, “But Mr. Yu, have you been abroad so long, that after returning to China you don’t have even a little sense of self-defense?”
As he spoke, the man approached, stopping only when he stood in front of Yu Rui.
He leaned forward, and his dark eyes hidden under the cap finally revealed, only half closed at this point. The man lowered his head and his slightly warm breath followed suit, brushing against the young professor’s forehead and eyes. Stopping finally at the top of Yu Rui’s shirt, which was meticulously buttoned up. The collar was so white, it felt as if a pulse could be heard beating faintly.
The man smiled wickedly.
With this bowed posture, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the bewildered Yu Rui from under his cap, “Mr. Yu, I’ll just give you a bite, okay?”
Yu Rui frowned, “No.”
The man’s smile disappeared. The next second, he suddenly straightened up without warning, grabbed Yu Rui’s wrist, and twisted it backward, pressing him hard against the wall.
Before Yu Rui could resist, the man behind him had bound his hands and feet with ropes he didn’t know where he got them from and tied them tightly.
Yu Rui reacted, and the mask with a gentle smile finally broke, he frowned and stared at the man with annoyance, “Xie Li, untie me!”
“Mr. Yu has the wrong person.” The man had taken off his baseball cap and thrown it on the ground. He squatted down next to Yu Rui’s feet and reached out to stroke the knot he had tied in the ankle, then rested his elbows on his knees and looked up with a smile, “I’m not Xie Li, I’m just an admirer of Professor Yu.”
“… admirer your uncle.” Yu Rui was so angry that he couldn’t help but tense up and cursed at him with gritted teeth.
He even wanted to lift his foot and kick the dog man, but unfortunately, his hands and feet were bound, so he couldn’t even move.
“Tsk” Xie Li laughed, then slowly stood up, “It’s a pity that my father is the eldest son and there is no uncle to look up to… if you like seniority, I can call you that from now on? En, Uncle Yu?”
Yu Rui was so angry that he glared at him, the corners of his eyes slightly reddened.
Xie Li’s eyes deepened, then he lowered his head and giggled, “But there’s a price to pay for lowering my seniority. How about you let me fuck you a few times today, and call you whatever you want in the future, Professor Yu?”
“… Fuck off.”
As soon as Yu Rui finished speaking harshly, he was hugged by Xie Li and carried over his shoulder towards the sofa.
Yu Rui looked shocked, “Xie Li-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was thrown onto the sofa. Xie Li knelt on one leg on the edge, and his other leg pressed against Yu Rui’s sides, trapping the already bound Yu Rui.
Xie Li looked down and admired Yu Rui’s beautiful features, the ink in his eyes seemed to be on fire.
He rubbed his wrists and laughed, “Class President, don’t blame me for hurting you today; you went to study for a few months and when you came back, you ran off to college without reaching out to me. Today, I must let you try and see if you can cry.”
“!!”
At the thought of this man’s terrifying energy, Yu Rui’s expression suddenly changed. He became stiff for a few seconds and gradually relaxed his body, showing a bit of a rare submission, “When you came back, didn’t you also take several days to see me?”
Xie Li’s smile stagnated and he frowned, “It was different.”
“In what way?”
Xie Li didn’t answer
Yu Rui originally just wanted to find a reason to escape, but when he saw Xie Li silent, his heart knotted up again. After a long silence, Yu Rui frowned and lifted his knee, pushing the man, “Get up if you’re not going to say anything, go out.”
Xie Li came back to his senses. He leaned over, grabbed Yu Rui’s wrist, and pressed him against the sofa, “At that time, I was fresh out of the army.”
“So what?”
“… Don’t you remember the haircut I was wearing that day? Scalp shaved, and so ugly, what if I let you see it and you change your mind?” At the end of the sentence, Xie Li let out a low snort.
Yu Rui was silent for a moment, “Just… because of that?”
“Mm.” Xie Li didn’t want to mention this black history, he lowered his head to bite his lips viciously, “Since I forced myself to say it, I’ll change the terms, crying is not enough.”
Yu Rui’s eyes widened.
The man leaning over his neck chuckled under his breath, “The Class President is arrogant in bed too, today…. how about… I do it while you hug me while crying and begging for mercy?”
The air was silent for several seconds.
“… XIE LI! You pervert!”
“Tsk, did you just find out?”
