Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Little Sister-in-Law, Why Are You Ignoring People?

"I’m willing!"

The homeless man said these words without any hesitation.

He was willing.

He was really willing!

Compared to being a homeless man forever, he was willing to give anything to change his fate.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang said no more.

The homeless man looked at her deeply, imprinting her features into his heart, before finally heading in the direction Shi Yaoguang had indicated.

...

After returning from the private garden, Shi Yaoguang went to Emperor University.

Her graduation thesis had been submitted, and in fact, there was not much left for her to do at Emperor University.

However...

Professor Lin and Quan Jinbei’s senior sister had ideas and hoped she would join their laboratory.

Shi Yaoguang did not agree.

She had the same response.

If they needed her help with anything,

she would oblige without hesitation, but as for joining the lab, there was no need.

Although Professor Lin and others felt regretful, they couldn’t force her.

They had no choice but to go along with her wishes.

She came over today upon receiving a message from Professor Lin, who had encountered a bottleneck in his experiment and hoped she could help him look into it.

"Sis-in-law!"

Just as Shi Yaoguang reached the gate of Emperor University, she was suddenly called out as "sis-in-law."

She did not take it to heart and continued walking straight ahead without a glance to the side.

After a moment, a man in a white lab coat ran towards her.

"Sis-in-law, why don’t you pay any attention when people call you?"

He spoke for himself, "Surely, you haven’t decided to ignore your poor relative after becoming famous?"

Only when the man stood in front of her did Shi Yaoguang recognize who he was.

She was somewhat surprised, "School Doctor, what are you doing here?"

Chen Shu wore a look of grievance, "So you do remember me. I thought sis-in-law no longer wanted to pay any attention to me."

"How could that be."

Shi Yaoguang would not admit she did not want to deal with him.

And in fact, she had no intention of ignoring him.

"I just didn’t expect it to be you."

Shi Yaoguang explained, then curiously asked, "Are you here at Emperor University to see someone? Or have you transferred?"

"Alas, it’s a long story," Chen Shu scratched his head with a helpless expression, "If I could choose, I wouldn’t want to come here either, but who told Jiu Yanchuan to get into trouble."

Jiu Yanchuan?

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, inquiring, "What happened to Jiu Yanchuan?"

Chen Shu moved his lips and sighed, "What else could it be? He’s troubled by love."

Those words...

Shi Yaoguang did not believe them.

Jiu Yanchuan did not seem like the kind of person who would be troubled by love; how could it be possible?

Besides, even if he were troubled by love, why would Chen Shu come to Emperor University?

Seeing that she did not believe him, Chen Shu had to tell the truth, "I came to Emperor University to assist Professor Lin. He said there’s been recent progress in the experiment. Although there are some bottlenecks, we can move on to the next phase once we get past them..."

After sharing his business, he continued, "As for Jiu Yanchuan... he came to find someone."

"Find who?"

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes flickered with a small flame of gossip.

Chen Shu chuckled, "You might not believe this, but what I’m telling you is true. He came to find the one he loves!"

As he said this, he began to talk nonstop, "You have no idea who his loved one is!"

"Who is it?"

Chen Shu grinned and laughed, "It’s a pink pig!"

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

She looked at Chen Shu as if he were intellectually challenged.

But Chen Shu put on an inscrutable expression, "You better believe it, I’m telling the truth."

Shi Yaoguang had a black line run across her forehead, "Are you sure that Jiu Yanchuan would choose a pig as his girlfriend?"

"Not just any pig," Chen Shu corrected her very seriously, "a pink pig!"

Shi Yaoguang looked to the sky, "Is there any difference?"

"Big difference," Chen Shu insisted, patting his chest, "There are many, many kinds of pigs, but Jiu Yanchuan’s girlfriend is that specific pink pig."

Shi Yaoguang held her forehead, her tone full of deep helplessness, "Let me remind you, many breeds of pigs are pink."

"Ah?"

As if just realizing his mistake, Chen Shu explained, "No, you’ve got it wrong."

"The ’pink pig’ I’m talking about isn’t an actual pig."

He scratched his head, awkwardly explaining, "That ’pig’ I mentioned is Jiu Yanchuan’s girlfriend’s online nickname."

"Online romance?"

Shi Yaoguang found this somewhat interesting.

Chen Shu nodded vigorously, "Isn’t it an online romance?"

At this point, his tone became somber, like a worried father fretting over his family’s cabbage patch, "I don’t know if online romances are reliable. What if his online lover really is a pig?"

Shi Yaoguang was silent for a long while before finally responding, "Experience is the best teacher."

One has to go through it to know if online love is dependable.

But Chen Shu shook his head, "That won’t do."

"Jiu Yanchuan, this iron tree that hasn’t bloomed in a millennium, has finally flowered; we can’t let this flower wilt so easily."

Shi Yaoguang pondered before asking, "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

Chen Shu matter-of-factly shook his head.

Shi Yaoguang pressed on, "Then have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Chen Shu shook his head again, still unconcerned.

Shi Yaoguang continued, "So, what do you think ’an iron tree blooming’ means?"

Chen Shu: "An iron tree blooming is when someone who has never looked for a girlfriend finally comes around and gets one!"

After saying this, he looked down at the tips of his shoes as if something suddenly occurred to him.

Silence.

A protracted silence.

As if he had finally come to a realization, Chen Shu said, "Even though I’m a born single, that doesn’t stop me from thinking Jiu Yanchuan is an iron tree."

"Besides, sister-in-law, haven’t you heard a saying?"

"What?"

"Next to a love loser, there’s always an experienced single friend," Chen Shu said and added, "And a born single, at that."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, enlightened, "So you’re the one who’ll sacrifice yourself to comfort a heartbroken friend, a born single."

Chen Shu: "..."

He clutched at his chest, his voice fragile, "I treated you like a sister-in-law and you’re attacking me personally..."

"When did I attack you personally?" Shi Yaoguang asked as she snapped her fingers.

Chen Shu only saw a gust of wind whiz past him, and the leaves from the trees began to fall in halves.

Chen Shu: "..."

Big shot.

I was wrong.

Please spare me!

"Sister-in-law, I misspoke just now. You’re magnanimous, please don’t stoop to my level~"

Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "That depends on your performance."

"On my performance?"

Chen Shu bit his lip, asking weakly, "What performance are you referring to?"

Shi Yaoguang said casually, "I’ll tell you when I think of something."

Chen Shu immediately wore a mournful expression, "You mean I have to wait until your grace thinks of it? What if I accidentally offend you, doesn’t that mean you could snap me in an instant?"

Shi Yaoguang, as if reminded by his words, nodded, "You have a point. I can fulfill this small wish of yours."
