Chapter 907: Chapter 907: No Wonder He Never Uses His Full Name

"He can eat the food you cook?!" Suizi’s face was full of surprise.

Yu Jingting found it inconceivable, "Meeting a stranger and bringing cakes?"

This move, doesn’t it seem a bit strange?

The senior sister nodded.

That day, Hansui had her take a note over to Su Zhe.

The senior sister figured that such an impressive figure in academia must be very busy and wouldn’t have much time for her, so she packed her lunch in her bag, planning to find a secluded spot to eat after meeting with Professor Su.

After Professor Su exchanged a few words with her, he sniffed, commented on how fragrant it was, and she ended up taking out the cakes. Then, he ate them.

Yu Jingting felt this interaction was also not like that of normal people—a truly bold offer met with a truly bold acceptance! Two odd characters paired up!

"Do you have time, senior sister?" Suizi asked with mixed feelings, her question veiled.

Using a graduate student as a nanny, wasn’t that overkill, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

"I’m already in my third year of research, primarily focusing on my dissertation now, and there isn’t much left to revise, so I do have some time. I can help take care of things until you find a nanny," she said.

Suizi, with tears of gratitude, joined her hands together and worshipped the senior sister like a Bodhisattva.

"On behalf of my whole family, I thank you, senior sister. You are truly a blessing for all of humanity."

"Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?" she felt embarrassed being worshipped by Suizi.

"How could it be an exaggeration? Professor Su’s ’jade body’ is not just his own; it’s a treasure bestowed upon humanity by heaven. By taking good care of him, you’re essentially contributing to academia," Yu Jingting joked.

Suizi rolled her eyes at him, misusing terms—what the heck was ’jade body’ supposed to mean?

Fortunately, the senior sister was somewhat obtuse and didn’t catch the teasing tone in Yu Jingting’s words, and she was there nodding along.

"But, will your family agree? You see, a bachelor and a young lady alone together, he in his thirties and a bachelor at that, you a young woman. Aren’t you afraid of gossip?" Yu Jingting continued.

Suizi truly wanted to roll her eyes to death at him!

Who speaks so bluntly?

"That shouldn’t be a problem, but my family... I should discuss it with my parents when I get home. I’m worried my dad will disagree."

Suizi frowned; indeed, this was not something to force upon others.

"My dad might be concerned that I won’t take good care of him. Maybe I’ll discuss it with Professor Su, see if he can move into our place. My mom is a better cook than me. And since my dad is a devoted fan of Professor Su, he probably has a lot in common with him."

The more the senior sister thought about it, the more she felt this was a great idea. Both her parents were teachers, and the apartment they were allocated wasn’t far from Professor Su’s school. Plus, with her brother away at university and his room available, there was ample space.

"This... might it be inconvenient? How about this, Jingting and I can visit and discuss it with your father," suggested Suizi, her words seemingly polite but in fact, she was eager to settle the matter.

A big world out there, nothing’s more important than Su Zhe having his meals.

Suizi was genuinely afraid that one day she’d go to the laboratory to find Su Zhe dead from hunger on the floor.

Given the guy’s current reckless behavior, it wasn’t impossible.

Suizi and her husband followed the senior sister home, buying a trunk full of gifts. Suizi chose the heaviest ones, even thinking ahead.

Unload the gifts first upon entering—scholarly families probably wouldn’t have the strength to move them back.

It turned out Suizi had worried too much.

Just like the senior sister said, her father was a loyal fan of Su Zhe. Hearing that his idol could stay at their place, he excitedly grabbed a rag to clean the windows, eager to tidy up and make room for Su Zhe to move in.

This straightforward reaction was even more blunt than Yu Jingting, making Suizi a bit incredulous. Could it be that this difficult problem was resolved just like that?

Suizi’s parents refused to take money from her.

Suizi had originally wanted Su Zhe to rent a room in their house, pay for rent and meals, but her parents adamantly refused, claiming that mentioning money was an insult to them and to chemistry.

How could the idol’s dwelling be rented? It’s an offering of love!

Yu Jingting took Courtyard’s side as well, convincing Suizi that just like in ancient times when Wang Lun presented Li Bai with eight fine steeds and ten bolts of fine silk, now Courtyard’s parents were nobly sheltering a grand figure in chemistry—a fine story in its own right. Isn’t talking about money vulgar?

The elder sister’s real surname is indeed Teacher.

Courtyard’s parents looked at Yu Jingting as if he were a kindred spirit; that was exactly what they meant!

Suizi was not one to insist, so if they wouldn’t take rent, she’d find other ways to compensate. She’d just have to figure out what Suizi’s parents liked and cater to that.

With the matter settled, Suizi felt incredibly relieved as she left Courtyard’s house.

"The road ends at the mountain and the river, doubt there’s a way out, but then the willows part and flowers bloom, revealing another village."

"Speaking of which, have we forgotten something?" Yu Jingting asked. Suizi blinked; had they?

"Not consulting Su Zhe?"

"Would he agree if we did? With his brain—better left unsaid." Suizi thought she had Su Zhe all figured out.

He’s like a copper pea—impossible to steam soft, boil tender, hammer thin, or fry till it pops.

Tell him directly and it would be a miracle if he agreed to go.

"Just say the dorm’s sewage system is broken and it’s uninhabitable. Carry a bucket of feces and douse his room with it. Have the dean tell him that they’ve found a family to take him in temporarily, with food and lodging included."

"Would he believe that?"

"Anyone else wouldn’t, but Su Zhe might—he never concerns himself with anything beyond research."

Yu Jingting only agreed with her halfway.

Actually, Su Zhe had really cared about something other than science long ago.

It was Suizi.

But after becoming sworn brothers with Yu Jingting over a contest to see "who could pee farther," the wife of a friend was off-limits. Su Zhe was an upstanding gentleman; he naturally couldn’t entertain thoughts of wooing a brother’s wife, so that was that.

Yu Jingting had never mentioned it to Suizi, but he felt somewhat pessimistic when she was enthusiastic about matchmaking for Su Zhe.

All the prospective partners Suizi had introduced to Su Zhe over the years—it wasn’t just that they didn’t fancy him. There were also suitable ones he turned down.

Yu Jingting was convinced that Su Zhe had a point of reference in his heart.

"You can’t bend an arm against a thigh. I’ll use the dean to press him; he wouldn’t dare disobey. If he refuses to comply, let’s threaten to cut his research funding. Is there any fear he won’t be obedient? We can’t let him starve before we find a suitable Nanny to look after him."

"True, just make do for a few days—by the way, what’s your elder sister’s full name?"

Yu Jingting knew the elder sister was close to Suizi and that whenever Suizi spoke of her at home, it was always "elder sister," without mentioning her real name.

"Si Lanfan, apparently her dad was lecturing about blue vitriol when they were registering her birth." That’s a chemistry teacher’s romance for you.

"Blue vitriol...wait, isn’t that copper sulfate pentahydrate...?"

When Yu Jingting first met Su Zhe, there was a time when he was particularly fond of using chemistry terms as insults.

Blue vitriol is the common name for copper sulfate pentahydrate.

The chemical formula is CuSO4·5H2O.

The relative molecular mass is 250!!!

No wonder Suizi never calls her elder sister by her full name!
