Sitting in the living room at home, Gu Weizhou was selecting the subjects he would be teaching soon when suddenly his phone rang. Picking it up and seeing the familiar number, he heard a voice on the other end.
“Junior Yan?”
Hearing the familiar address, Yan Jingze hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should respond with that title. He pressed his lips together and straightforwardly asked, “Um… Are you going to be a teacher?”
“Heh… I will be soon. What’s the matter?”
“I… What should I call you from now on?” Senior? Teacher?
Hearing the indecisiveness in Yan Jingze’s tone, Gu Weizhou chuckled and said, “If you really can’t get used to it, how about calling me Senior?”
Pursing his lips, Yan Jingze said, “But… Wouldn’t that be strange?”
“What do you suggest, then?”
I want to call you Yichuan.
Those words were on the tip of Yan Jingze’s tongue and he almost blurted them out, but he managed to restrain himself. After pursing his lips, he said, “Since Senior has said so, then I’ll continue calling you Senior.”
Whether on campus or off campus, at least… I’m still a little special.
“Okay, Junior Yan.”
“Goodbye, Senior Wen.” With that, he promptly ended the call.
Slowly putting down his phone, Yan Jingze clutched it tightly in his hand. Standing by the window in his dormitory, he looked at the crowd outside, and in his eyes, countless shades of black churned like giant waves.
There was an inexplicable frustration stuck in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe, filling him with restlessness. He felt like he couldn’t contain the wild beast inside him that was now tainted with darkness.
Yan Jingze thought that after a month and a half of being together day and night, he was somewhat special to that person in his heart. After all, they had been together all this time, and they talked and laughed almost every night. However… he was the last to know that the person would become a teacher.
And that person even acted as if it didn’t matter, as if he didn’t care, as if…!!!!!
Wen Yichuan, have you ever cared about me even a little bit?! Yan Jingze’s fist clenched tightly and slammed into the wall next to the window.
[Why bother caring about him?]
[After all, you’ve been together day and night for over a month.]

Gu Weizhou raised an eyebrow, saying, [Men have a strong possessive nature. Once you stop paying attention to them, they will become more interested in you. So, never place them too much in your heart.]
[So, you’re playing hard to get with him.]
[Yes.] He grinned.
[Aren’t you afraid of things going awry?]
[Let me tell you a secret: I’m actually looking forward to the day my love comes.]
[…] I shouldn’t have any expectations regarding your conscience.

Seeing the sea of people, Gu Weizhou didn’t bother with roll call. Because he felt, if he does, he might have to end the class just like that.
And so, Gu Weizhou, who wasn’t exactly the most qualified teacher but had the highest popularity at W University, officially began his teaching career.
…
“Goodbye, Teacher Wen.”
“See you tomorrow, Teacher Wen.”
“Teacher Wen, you’re even more handsome than in your photos.”
Facing all the blushing and excited female students, after class, Gu Weizhou smiled and nodded in response to their greetings. Then, he organized his teaching materials and scanned the small number of remaining students, but he didn’t find the person he was looking for.
In the shadows, a pair of eyes watched the gentle-looking young man on the podium. Seeing the slight frown on his face and the worry in his eyes, a hand that was hanging down by his side tightened into a fist.
W University’s main road was lined with parasol trees, and every autumn, it felt like the campus was immersed in a romantic and quiet atmosphere.
As Gu Weizhou left the main teaching building, he heard a soft call from behind.
“Senior… Wen.”
Turning around, Gu Weizhou saw the appearance of the girl calling him. With a warm smile, he said, “Student Li Fei, you shouldn’t call me Senior, you should call me Teacher Wen now.”
Hearing her crush not only smiling at her but also teasing her, Li Fei’s face turned red. The words she had intended to say got stuck in her throat.
Seeing her blushing face, Gu Weizhou understood that she was feeling shy and didn’t tease her further. Instead, he asked, “Do you need something, Student Li Fei?”
Blushing, Li Fei looked at the gentle young man in front of her. Thinking about the matters settled at home, she looked at him expectantly and asked anxiously, “It’s just… just…” I’m so happy to be the one to stand by Teacher Wen’s side and be the luckiest person in the world.
However, before she could finish her sentence, another voice interrupted.
“Senior!”
The voice sounded, and Gu Weizhou’s eyes brightened. He turned his head abruptly and sure enough, he saw a familiar face.
“Junior Yan.”
Seeing the girl with a flushed face in front of him, Yan Jingze felt extremely uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for being at the university, he would have just gone over and pulled the young man away. But this was still on campus.
Suppressing the resentment boiling in his eyes, he calmly looked at the blushing Li Fei.
Although they had only met briefly before, Yan Jingze immediately recognized the girl’s identity. She was the weirdly dressed woman who had a blind date with Wen Yichuan.
Thinking of her sudden scream while covering her face before leaving the restaurant, seeing the adoration in her eyes, and remembering the business marriage arranged by Wen Yichuan’s parents. Yan Jingze understood everything.
Because he understood, he disappeared from the other person’s sight for almost a week. But in fact, he had been paying attention to the other person’s every move, and unable to bear it any longer, he finally appeared in front of him.
Gu Weizhou, who didn’t know what was on the other party’s mind, stepped forward with concerned eyes. “Where have you been for the past week? I called you, but you didn’t answer. I thought…”
“Thought I died….” in some corner.
Gu Weizhou quickly covered the other man’s mouth with his hand, glaring at him. “Why are you saying something like that?”
Feeling the soft palm covering his lips, taking in the familiar scent that he had gotten used to in the past month, and looking at the person in front of him who was looking at him with a worried gaze, Yan Jingze’s eyes reflected a dense and tangible darkness.
In his heart, that restless turmoil resurged like beating drums.
Over the past week, Yan Jingze didn’t know what he wanted to prove to himself. But he just wanted to know if this person would frown or worry even just a little if he couldn’t see him and if he would subconsciously search for his presence…
And now the truth told him that this person still cared about him.
In the cavity of his beating heart, he didn’t know when a seed had been planted, nor when it quietly sprouted and grew.
Therefore, he didn’t know when, but whenever he approached this person, an unbearable longing would rise in his chest, as if he wanted to obtain something, to grasp something.
At this moment, what made him tremble, what he desired, what made him restless, was right there, close to him, and if he just gently pouted his lips, he could even kiss the person who is similar to light.
In his mind, a voice kept clamoring. If the person before him truly represented the light, then he could drag that light into the abyss, completely staining him in darkness, and making him unable to leave the abyss.
That way, he wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore, he wouldn’t have to worry about being scorched by that dazzling light someday.
However…
Looking at the sincerity in the person’s clear eyes, seeing the surprised and astonished gaze of Li Fei not far away, and feeling the hesitations of the students passing by, Yan Jingze eventually suppressed the dark and profound gaze, along with the thirsty restlessness in his throat. He reluctantly removed the hand covering his lips.
He smiled and said, “I spoke without thinking. Don’t be angry, Senior.”
He dare not do such a thing.
The person in front of him was too dazzling, too pure, too beautiful, making him feel so inferior that he didn’t dare to reveal his true self, fearing to see the other’s frightened gaze, afraid that he would discover his ugly face hidden in the darkness.
Glancing at the person, Gu Weizhou was about to lead him away to ask about his injury and where he had been for the past week. However, he suddenly noticed Li Fei not far away. He remembered that she seemed to have something to say to him.
“That Student Li Fei, didn’t you have something to say?”
Li Fei, biting her lip, looked at her male god, who was now holding the man’s wrist, with a hesitant and conflicted expression. After three seconds of contemplation, she remembered her identity as the future wife of the man and finally summoned the courage to lift her head and attempt to say what she wanted to.
However, as soon as she raised her head, she collided with the man’s deep, profound eyes not far away. His gaze was ice-cold and chilling as if he was looking at a lifeless corpse without any warmth.
Startled by the thought that popped into her mind, Li Fei took a big step back, her expression filled with fear as she looked at Yan Jingze, and shuddered all over.
Noticing the change in Li Fei’s expression, Gu Weizhou tilted his head and saw Yan Jingze’s innocent and pure face. He was somewhat puzzled, but he still pulled the person with him, saying, “Student Li Fei, it’s better for you to go back and rest early. Yan Jingze and I have something to discuss. We can chat next time.” Then, he walked with the person toward the outside of the campus.
Seeing Yan Jingze switching between expressions, she wanted to call out to the person who was walking away, but before she could speak, she saw the man not far away suddenly turning his head. With a challenging and playful look, he silently mouthed a sentence in her direction.
“Try calling him and see if he believes you or believes me.”
Understanding the meaning behind the sentence, Li Fei’s face turned pale. She stared at their entwined hands until the two figures disappeared from her sight. With a pale face, she remained silent.
Author’s note:
Gu Weizhou: I only believe in Love.
I think author meant to have gwz say I only believe in vulgar love lol. Pure love ain’t worth his time. Tyfc
Bro tf after reading that sentence I said the same exact thing in my mind😭🔪
Lol glad we are on the same page. 🤣
It seems like the author forgot to clarify that our MC adores the vulgar love. Hmm, but as far as I can see, isn’t it hatefucking or some kind of dark desire? Seriously, all of these scummy boys have got to learn that their white moonlight wants them to brutally claim him and make it clear that he is theirs.
Still, 10/10 TFTC and hope we get more!
