We are a match made in heaven!

“Alright, I’ll pay attention next time.” Bai Juanqiu took the good advice, then he raised his hand and vigorously ruffled Ren Xingliu’s hair. 

The hand feel was off the chart, so soft. Bai Juanqiu was in a great mood, but his expression stayed serious. “Your hair is a mess again.”

Ren Xingliu: “…”

Don’t think he didn’t see that. Comrade Xiao Bai was deliberately seeking revenge!

Bai Juanqiu was laughing inside from Ren Xingliu’s speechless manner, then he reached out and took the book from the youth. “Let me carry that.”

Just like that, the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder out of the dorm with Bai Juanqiu carrying the textbook, heading towards the area with academic buildings.

At this time, it was right before the start of elective classes, so there were many students out and about.

Ren Xingliu’s plaster cast was already very eye-catching, now with the addition of an outstanding companion like Bai Juanqiu, the head-turning rate was quite high whenever they went.

As Bai Juanqiu walked, he noticed that Ren Xingliu kept squeezing into him, with their arms tightly touching each other. At first, he thought that Ren Xingliu wanted to step aside, so he gave way, but it turned out that Ren Xingliu wanted to step aside. Xingliu pushed even further and continued to squeeze in.

As Bai Juanqiu walked, he noticed that Ren Xingliu was constantly pushing towards him, with their arms tightly pressing close. At first, he thought Ren Xingliu wanted to be closer to the edge, so he yielded. But when Ren Xingliu took an inch, he advanced a foot, continuing to squeeze over.

Seeing that he was about to be pushed onto the green lawn, Bai Juanqiu had to stop his steps, and as he was about to ask. 

However, Ren Xingliu was ahead of him. He frowned and said solemnly, “Comrade Xiao Bai, there seems to be a problem with your sense of balance.”

Bai Juanqiu countered, “…What were you trying to do?”

“I’m leaning against you.” Ren Xingliu answered, “Someone was watching us, and I thought we should act a bit more intimate…but you’re walking off on a tangent. Did you notice that?”

After a moment of silence, it was too complicated for Bai Juanqiu to express, “I thought you were trying to steal the road.” 

Ren Xingliu: “…”

He shook his head and sighed. Why couldn’t this iron become steel? “As expected from a classic single dog. So hard for you to get the message.” 

Bai Juanqiu: (Want to talk but hold back.)

But you don’t look much experienced yourself with how you’re doing things. This was what he really wanted to say. Although he has never been in a relationship, he had never seen a couple walk in such an ‘intimate’ way.

But he had a feeling that if he was to say that, he would really be stepping onto the green lawn.

“It’s my fault. I know too little about love.” Bai Juanqiu was very adaptable and picked up the pot to carry. “Once your hand is better, we can walk holding hands.” 

Ren Xingliu suddenly saw the light. “Good point.”

Bai Juanqiu pulled out a smile. “Then let’s hurry up and go. We don’t want to be late.”

When the two of them arrived at the classroom, it was already almost class time, and almost everyone had arrived. However, people often skipped elective classes, so the class was not full, and many people were willing to sit in the back row to make it easier for them to leave.

When the two arrived at the lecture room, it was nearly time for the lecture to start, and almost everyone was present. However, people often made their escape in elective courses, so the lecture hall wasn’t at full capacity. Many people opt to sit in the back, making operating errands easier.

Without hesitation, Ren Xingliu led Bai Juanqiu to the first row. 

Bai Juanqiu chuckled. “You really want to let everyone watch us?”

“Nonsense, what kind of person do you take me for?” Ren Xingliu said with a straight face. “This is to make listening to the lecture better, of course.”

He was telling the truth. He had already had a poor foundational knowledge, and after his decade long transmigration, he had long forgotten his knowledge points. If he wanted to catch up with his learning progress, he naturally had to work harder.

It was common knowledge. One of the signs of hard-working university students was to sit in the front row during lectures. 

Of course, if his fellow classmates could have a bit more brain cells, they would be witnesses and spread his and Bai Juanqiu’s sweet romance. It would be even better.

Bai Juanqiu almost bought it. But since he was only here to accompany the Crown Prince in his studies, it didn’t matter to him where they sat, so he took his seat next to the youth.

Although not everyone could recognize Ren Xingliu on campus, those who were in the same classes as him would certainly know him.

Basically, after the course list is finalized for each semester, everyone in his class knows that there will be one person missing from their class for a long time. If he comes to class occasionally, he will definitely be sleeping and playing with his mobile phone in the back row. 

Therefore, as soon as Ren Xingliu stepped into the lecture room, and to break barren heaven on top of that, he sat in the front row. He instantly drew a lot of attention.

“I walk. I can’t believe Young Master Ren came to the lecture today. He never brought an attendant along. Does he plan to open black during the lecture?” 

“Unlikely. Young Master Ren is never that pretentious. He usually just straight out skips class.”

“Huh, that’s because none of you know this. I heard he had really done it this time, and his mother got very angry. He might be putting on a show.”

“If there is one, say one. That little attendant is so handsome. Much easier on the eye than that Ding guy.”

“So, what if he is handsome. How would he be any better when mingling with that one.”

Correct. Because whenever Ren Xingliu was out and about, he would always be surrounded by his dog-like friends. It wasn’t wrong for them to include Bai Juanqiu in this scope.

No one realized that this was Young Master Ren’s new ‘boyfriend’.

The subject of discussion was completely unaware of this as he was preparing to take this lecture seriously.

As Bai Juanqiu was about to hand over the textbook to Ren Xingliu, he glanced at his hand and asked, “Do you know where you left off at?”

Ren Xingliu turned and asked the people behind them. “Hey, where did we stop?”

Bai Juanqiu: “…”

So, did Young Master Ren usually attend lectures or not?

The row behind them was caught off guard. It was only after a moment when one of them replied, “Chapter three.”

Bai Juanqiu flipped the textbook to the corresponding chapter before placing it in front of Ren Xingliu and pressed the pages down.

Ren Xingliu praised, “You’re the best.” 

As Bai Juanqiu was about to politely reply, he heard the other person chirping, “Very thoughtful and very attentive. I believe that many people in the melon seed eater group will be cracking on our absolutely beautiful love.”

Bai Juanqiu faced palm in frustration, and didn’t think much of it, actually.

Was Young Master Ren being too professional, always staying in character.

Of course, if he wanted to know that Ren Xingliu was once a powerful official in a feudal dynasty, he would understand. In order to calm the emperor’s suspicion, Ren Xingliu had to be careful at all times. 

Of course, if he was to know that Ren Xingliu was once a powerful minister of a feudal dynasty, it would have made sense. At that time, Ren Xingliu had achieved great success and shocked the ruler. In order to appease the Emperor’s suspicions and jealousy, he naturally needed to be extra careful.

Integrating a persona into all aspects of his life.

Unfortunately, he had been the God of War for far too long that he obviously didn’t know enough about the thought process of college students nowadays.

This scene was taken in by some students from behind, and some couldn’t resist showing their contempt. 

“Fuck, this new attendant’s dog leg is really showing.”

“It’s no wonder this person was brought along to the lecture.”

“Tsk, tsk. It looks like that Ding person’s status is no longer secure.”

“Hilarious, I guess Young Master Ding’s claim to eat shit for Young Master Ren every day was for nothing.” 

The discussion didn’t last long. Soon, the professor walked in, and the classroom went quiet.

Professor Chi oversaw this course. As soon as she entered the lecture room, she instantly caught sight of Ren Xingliu sitting in the first row and frowned.

She used to be the professional teacher of Ren Xingliu’s class, and she didn’t have a very good impression of this student. She reunited with him in elective courses this semester and was already prepared for his long absence.

She had Ren Xingliu in her mandatory course before, so her impression of this student wasn’t that great. This semester, they reunited in her elective course, and she was prepared for his long-term absence. 

It was a surprise to see Ren Xingliu at today’s lecture, and in the front row no less. It was worth noting that in the mandatory lecture, he used to sit in the last row playing on his phone.

Professor Chi had misgivings inside, but she couldn’t pick any faults or small movements in his upright posture. So, she cleared her throat and said, “Quiet down. The lecture is starting.”

Although Ren Xingliu has transmigrated for many years, once he came back, he was very determined to succeed. He even prepared for today’s lecture in advance. Even so, as he concentrated on the lecture, he found that he could barely keep up with the lesson.

Professor Chi’s expertise was top-notch, and her lecture went in depth before coming out shallow. However, she kept worrying that Ren Xingliu would disturb her class, so while giving her lecture, she always glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes. 

The more she did, the more shocked she became.

Ren Xingliu was actually taking notes?!

When both of his hands were healthy, he rarely held a pen. Now that he only had one functioning hand, he was actually not using it to play on his phone!

In addition to being surprised, a feeling of relief also rose in Professor Chi’s heart.

Just which teacher wouldn’t be moved by the the return of a wayward son. Even if it was only temporary, it proved that there’s hope for improvement for this student.

Unfortunately, in Ren Xingliu’s rare moment of paying attention to the lecture, there was someone making a fuss beside him.

She watched as Ren Xingliu wrote and wrote, the guy next to him suddenly leaned in and whispered to him.Then Ren Xingliu turned to the side and blinked at the guy, whispering something back before passing the pen to the guy. 

The guy smiled, took the pen and wrote in Ren Xingliu’s notebook.

Professor Chi: They must be passing notes! 

She originally focused on Ren Xingliu and didn’t pay attention to the people around her at all. Only then did she realize that the boy on the right of Ren Xingliu was very unfamiliar. He was not her student at all. It seemed that Ren Xingliu had brought him here.

From the beginning, all of her focus was on Ren Xingliu, so she didn’t even take notice of the person beside him. Now, she found that the guy sitting beside Ren Xingliu had an unfamiliar face. This guy wasn’t her student. It seemed that he was brought in by Ren Xingliu. 

There weren’t many decent people in Ren Xingliu’s group. Even distracting her student right under her podium. Wasn’t this carrying a bad person?

Ren Xingliu was already bad enough!

In the past, Professor Chu would be too lazy to discipline them. However, now she had finally seen signs of improvement in Ren Xingliu, except there was an external factor to stop that, to like what words?!

Professor Chi was very unhappy with this. She pulled her face, she tapped her fingers on the table and turned to Bai Juanqiu, asking, “The student sitting over there. You don’t seem to belong to this lecture.” 

Bai Juanqiu was suddenly called on, which was a little inexplicable. He subconsciously thought that this teacher didn’t like others to interrupt the class, but he didn’t panic. He thought about it and said, “I’m here to see Mr. Ren and accompany him in class.”

Bai Juanqiu was baffled by being called out suddenly. He thought it was because the professor didn’t like freeloading students. Even so, he didn’t panic. After some thought, he said, “I came here to find Mr. Ren and followed him to this lecture along the way.”

Professor Chi let out a soft scoff, sounding displeased. “There’s no issue attending the lecture together, but don’t disturb others. If you have something you want to say, wait until after the lecture.”

Bai Juanqiu finally understood the situation. He smiled and explained, “Professor, you misunderstood. I just saw that Mr. Ren missed a few important parts in his notes and thought to inform him.”

At this moment, Ren Xingliu was also on the same page. He quickly clarified, “Professor, it’s because of my hand, I couldn’t write them all down, so he is helping me take notes.”

So, it turned out that Ren Xingliu was really listening attentively to the lecture just now. It was just that the lecture was going too fast, and with too many notes to jot down. He couldn’t keep up because his writing speed was affected by his injured left hand.

Bai Juanqiu listened along with the lecture while watching him. When he noticed that a few important parts were missed, he pointed them out.

Earlier, when Ren Xingliu was looking back at him, what he really said was complaining how much his hand hurts from writing. 

The great Young Master Ren looked so piteous that Bai Juanqiu was duty-bound. So, he took the pen and jotted the notes down for Ren Xingliu.

After listening to the explanation, Professor Chi was taken aback. She didn’t expect this to be the actual truth.

Still unconvinced, she stepped down from the podium and came in front of Bai Juanqiu, picking up the notebook and looking through it.

She was only scanning through it, but her eyes lit up. 

There were clearly two separate handwritings in the notebook, and they were not passing notes like she had thought initially. They were indeed key points she had gone through, and they were neatly written on the paper. It was obvious that whoever took the note was listening to her lecture.

What was particularly surprising was the words written down by the second handwriting. Although this person didn’t write much, they were still from the lecture, with personal annotations that summarized the important parts in a few words.

According to their story, the second handwriting should be from the hitchhiking student. Did this freeloading student actually eat the course’s content thoroughly?

There was an improvement in Professor Chi’s expression. She put down the notebook, looked at Bai Juanqiu and asked, “You understood all of my lessons?” 

Bai Juanqiu said with a smile, “Professor, you’re a very good lecturer. It was very easy to understand.”

Professor Chi’s expression became increasingly complex. After pondering over this, she tested, “Then tell me, what’s your thought about the smart city’s key technologies that I just talked about?”

Ren Xingliu: “?”

Why was Bai Juanqiu suddenly getting tested?

Could it be that she didn’t believe their story and insisted on Bai Juanqiu giving his thoughts before letting them off?

Bai Juanqiu was also a little strange. Fortunately, the question was not too difficult. He thought for a moment and replied: “The key technologies for smart cities mentioned by the teacher just now are mainly focused on informatization. I think informatization can promote model innovation.” , but just upgrading technology is not enough. Urban planning, economy, environment, etc. are intricate…” 

Bai Juanqiu found this whole thing strange, but fortunately, she didn’t ask a difficult question. After some mulling, he replied, “The key technologies of a smart city mentioned earlier are mainly focused on information technology. I do think that information technology can enhance innovation, but upgrading systems alone won’t be enough. You need to take into account urban planning, economy, environment, and other complex aspects…”

His tone was deep and calm, and his words were clear. It easily drew everyone’s attention.

He didn’t intend to show off, he just summarized and simplified the content taught by Professor Chi. But his words have substance. He also mentioned things that weren’t included in the course. Obviously, not only did he listen to the lecture, but he also had a strong understanding of the subject.

After he was done, the lecture hall fell silent. 

Everyone was thinking the same thing—

Oy, A-Sir, you’re only here to accompany the Crown Prince in his studies, you don’t need to be this amazing.

You’re making it hard for the rest of us students!

“Very good, what a great answer!” Professor Chi was even more satisfied. The displeasure on her face was gone completely, and now she was all smiles. She urged persistently, “Take a seat. I welcome you to come and listen to my lecture from now on.” 

Then she turned to Ren Xingliu and signed, “Ren Xingliu, this kind of person is the one you should be associated with in the future.”

Ren Xingliu nodded vigorously. “I think so too.”

“Professor, thank you.” As soon as Bai Juanqiu sat back down, the person next to him crowded over.

He turned and saw the respectful way Ren Xingliu was looking at him. “Boyfriend, so you are one of those legendary school tyrants!” 

Bai Juanqiu cleared his throat. “…I just happened to be exposed to this topic in real life.”

“You are impressive nonetheless.” As Ren Xingliu said this, he suddenly thought of something and chuckled out in a sinister low manner.

Bai Juanqiu asked, “What is it?”

Ren Xingliu’s eyes sparkled. “Even the professor said I should be dating you. That means everyone else will definitely see us as a match made in heaven!”

Bai Juanqiu said calmly, “The professor is saying jiaowang as in associate with, not the jiaowang as in dating you’re thinking of.”

There was an image of bamboo growing in Ren Xingliu’s mind. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Bai Juanqiu murmured, “…I guess you’re right.”

Based on Ren Xingliu’s ambition, the professor would eventually learn about their ‘romantic’ relationship. 

At the same time, there were also whispers in the back of the lecture hall.

“Young Master Ren’s new attendant sure is something.”

“Indeed. He is both good-looking and smart and knows how to lick. That Ding guy is really nothing compared to him.”

“He is even taking notes for Young Master Ren. Not even my boyfriend is that thoughtful towards me.” 

“Tsk, tsk. In the end, those shits Xiao Ding-zi ate were for nothing.”
