Apart from telling everyone that Mr. Chen would be going in the same car with Cheng Zhu, he also gave a thorough introduction to the Mercedes that resembled a Jeep, discussing its hefty price tag.

Of course, he also wondered, “Where did Brother Zhu get the car from?”

“Damn, had I known he was driving a Mercedes G-Class today, even if it meant enduring the awkwardness of riding with Mr. Chen, I would have taken a ride too.”

On the coach, the students began to discuss fervently.

“Really? This car costs over two million? Isn’t that almost the same as a top-end Mercedes?”

“Damn, why spend that much on such an unpopular car?”

“Awesome, being in the same car as Mr. Chen alone, isn’t he afraid?”

“Mr. Chen looks really beautiful today. I just saw her at the school gate, she seems even more charming than before.”

For the moment, no one suspected anything inappropriate about their relationship.

Although everyone regularly browses domestic forums, they clearly understood the difference between reality and those websites.

The coach didn’t leave until 10:33 AM because two girls were three minutes late.

Cheng Zhu, however, set off on time following the navigation.

On the way, he chatted normally with Chen Jieyu.

Last time, the counselor had mentioned that several school leaders had asked about the gaming project.

Now that she was here, Cheng Zhu took the opportunity to ask her which leaders were involved and consulted about their personalities and temperaments.

Chen Jieyu was an open book to him, though she was only relatively acquainted with Dean Zhang among those school leaders; she had only met the others a few times.

“Dean Zhang’s wife is your teacher?” Cheng Zhu was slightly surprised when he heard about this connection.

“Yes.”

Such mentor-student relationships could indeed evolve into very solid connections if well cultivated.

This also made him understand why there were rumors around school about Chen Jieyu getting her position through backdoor connections.

Cheng Zhu glanced at her, wondering if he could use this connection to get closer to Dean Zhang.

He was well aware of the influence a person of the dean’s caliber possessed!

The car continued on its way, and as the two chatted, the shadows in Chen Jieyu’s heart lightened slightly.

The weather was nice today, clear and cool with bright sunlight.

Cheng Zhu observed her side profile as she looked out the window, noting her delicately done makeup and beautifully curled hair.

When both cars arrived at the homestay, Liu Feng and Chen Tingting organized everyone to first put their things in their rooms, then they were free to do whatever they wanted until gathering for dinner at 11:30 AM.

As mentioned earlier, Cheng Zhu had already chosen his room and also picked one for Chen Jieyu.

His own room was the best one in the homestay, complete with a small living room.

Chen Jieyu’s room was right across from his.

These two rooms were located at the far end of the floor.

He went upstairs with Chen Jieyu, first checked out her room, then took her to see his.

He could tell that Chen Jieyu’s eyes lit up as she entered the room.

The room had a large floor-to-ceiling window, probably great for stargazing at night.

The overall decoration style was also nicer, featuring a rustic forest style with lots of wood elements and brown tones.

With the bright sunshine that day, the warm sunlight cast a golden glow on the floor, as if dusting it with gold powder.

“This room must be the best suite in the homestay,” said Cheng Zhu.

He turned to look at Chen Jieyu who was exploring the room and smiled, “Like it? Want to swap rooms with me?”

In his past life, he had stayed in many high-end hotels and unique homestays.

To him, this place was just average.

After all, it was a fall outing with class students, so the chosen homestay was bound to be more budget-friendly.

For this level, it was already quite good.

In Cheng Zhu’s view, the best aspect of this room layout was its arrangement.

The small living room was adjacent to the next room, while the bed was on the opposite side.

This meant they couldn’t hear any noise from the adjacent room.

Of course, the neighboring room couldn’t hear anything from this side either.

Cheng Zhu didn’t believe that this kind of homestay would have good soundproofing.

And the clear yet foolish university students on this trip were bound to be noisy.

Chen Jieyu indeed preferred this room, feeling it was suitable for taking photos to update her social media, which she had meticulously curated and hadn’t updated in a while.

She knew, however, that staying here would mean higher expenses for the trip.

With the little money she had in her bank account, she couldn’t afford such an expense.

She’d probably have to rely on her credit card to get by until she got paid next month.

The financially strapped teacher was becoming increasingly frugal.

Upgrading to a nicer room would be too extravagant for her.

“No need to switch,” Chen Jieyu declined.

Cheng Zhu glanced at her and didn’t say much.

After Chen Jieyu left, Cheng Zhu’s three adopted sons arrived.

Today, Cheng Zhu was also supposed to aid Liu Feng, who planned to confess his feelings; if successful, he would be the first in Room 309 to be in a relationship.

Dong Dong, who was quite excited, teased, “Chuaner, if you succeed today, you might even get a kiss!”

Look at this embarrassing excitement over just a kiss.

“Go to hell!” Liu Feng cursed.

Dong Dong was displeased, “Hey, I’m your love coach. Is that how you talk to your coach?”

In everyday life, when Cheng Zhu wasn’t in the dorm, it was indeed Dong Dong who strategized for Liu Feng and Zheng Qingfeng.

Dong Dong did have some effective theories and strategies, a bit more impressive than the average university student.

Sadly, many times when the coach himself played in the field, he couldn’t manage a good game in love and merely ended up like a panting dog.

“Brother Zhu, should we do a rehearsal?” suggested Dong Dong, more enthusiastic than Liu Feng.

“Chuaner, didn’t I tell you to watch more youth films? Have you memorized them?” Cheng Zhu asked.

“I’ve got it memorized!” he quickly nodded.

“Good, I’ll feed you some lines during the moment, and all you need to do is not blank out, not be too shy to respond, and when you talk, look into Chen Tingting’s eyes.”

Cheng Zhu patted his shoulder, “Just nail these points, and I guarantee a smooth confession.”

“Alright!” Liu Feng psyched himself up, looking forward to the movie watching later.

…

…

At 11:30 AM, everyone gathered in the homestay’s dining room for a meal.

The dishes were simple local cuisine but quite tasty.

During the meal, Cheng Zhu naturally sat next to Chen Jieyu.

There was no structured activity for the afternoon, so everyone was free to do as they pleased.

However, Cheng Zhu would distribute a trial version of “Sheep” to everyone after the meal.

He stood up and announced, “The class monitor might have already told you all, right? Today there’s a prize for playing; anyone who can clear two levels will get 1000 yuan, and there’s no limit on the number of winners!”

“If everyone clears them, then everyone gets 1000 yuan!”

His words excited the crowd, as 1000 yuan was a significant amount for the average student.

Moreover, Cheng Zhu was quite famous in the school now, and his gaming project had been widely discussed outside the school, attracting much attention from alumni.

Getting to test the game ahead of others was thrilling for them!

Additionally, there was an upcoming 50,000 yuan campus game contest, so they were gaining experience in advance!

— What a relief!

Once Cheng Zhu sat down, he whispered to the counselor next to him, “You’re included too; message me if you clear the levels.”

Chen Jieyu glanced at him but remained silent.

She knew the game wasn’t simple.

But if there really was 1000 yuan to be claimed, it would be a timely aid given her current financial strains.

After downloading the game to her phone, Computer Science Class 2 students glanced at the name–“Sheep.”

Many thought, “What a silly name?”

No one could really tell what the game was about.

Soon, the addictive background music of the game filled the room.

Although it was free time, everyone, after downloading it, started playing right there.

Cheng Zhu noticed Chen Jieyu had also started playing immediately, so he didn’t return to his room but slightly turned towards her, watching her play.

Chen Jieyu caught his gaze on her phone and looked up at him.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the bespectacled counselor quickly lowered his head, engrossed in the game.

“Haha! This first level is easy!” someone shouted.

“I’m talking about the first level? I’ve already cleared dozens in the second level!”

“The second level doesn’t seem hard either; it opened up all matchable items!”

Chen Jieyu also swiftly completed the first level within a few seconds with a few random taps.

She wasn’t playing very intently.

Since Cheng Zhu was watching her, they were quite close.

She could almost sense this man’s presence.

Yet, surprisingly, she wasn’t averse to it.

As the game progressed, she became a bit nervous, occasionally glancing at Cheng Zhu to see if her moves were correct.

It was as if she were a student taking an exam with the teacher standing beside her.

“Don’t look at me, just play however you like. This damn… this game, I can’t really offer any gameplay tips,” Cheng Zhu said softly with a smile.

The two seemed to be whispering among themselves, so close that there was a hint of intimacy.

Luckily, the other students were absorbed in their game and didn’t notice.

But being surrounded by students, Chen Jieyu felt an odd sensation, and each time Cheng Zhu whispered nearby, a slight current seemed to run through her body, causing her to feel oddly flustered.

“I’ve cleared a lot! Are you sure there are only two levels in this game?” a boy asked.

“Damn, I just made a wrong move! But I cleared it again,” another spoke up.

“I think I’ve cleared several hundred pieces.”

Dong Dong and the others, having nothing better to do, were also playing.

Hearing the students’ comments, they shook their heads and laughed, finding the group naively amusing.

No way, no way, you guys couldn’t think Brother Zhu would be kind enough to give you free money, right?

Let’s see!
