Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Bah, Scumbag!

Speaking of Yue Jiannan having his realization, it wouldn’t have been possible without the divine assistance of a junior.

Just as Lin Chunju initially thought, Lin Yushan was beautiful and had a pleasant personality, surely attracting many admirers.

However, in school, many people saw her as Yue Jiannan’s little tag-along after she entered university.

She had been tagged along for five years, even going to graduate school together; people naturally assumed they were a couple.

Probably only Yue Jiannan himself was completely unaware, still obsessed with the aura of being a top student.

Until a first-year grad student observed them for a long time, sensed something, and boldly asked Yue Jiannan.

"Senior, what is your relationship with Lin Yushan?"

Yue Jiannan was baffled, "What relationship?"

The junior chuckled and curved his thumb, while Yue Jiannan quickly gestured with his hand.

"We’re both from the same hometown, and we came out of the same middle school. The girl hasn’t had a boyfriend yet, we can’t speak nonsense."

Upon hearing this, the junior felt reassured and immediately asked Yue Jiannan to help set things up.

The next day, during an experiment, Yue Jiannan casually asked Lin Yushan about it.

Lin Yushan didn’t say much, but after a while, she took off her disposable gloves and safety goggles.

"Jiannan, do you want me to be with him?"

Yue Jiannan thought, what does my wish have to do with this?

But seeing Lin Yushan’s serious expression, he still hesitantly replied.

"I just think that after all these years, you haven’t dated anyone, which is such a waste of your best years. The junior is in the same cohort as you, and he’s overall a good match. You could give it a try."

It never occurred to Yue Jiannan, the Iron Simpleton, that he was blocking her chances. Typically, he even wondered why such a nice girl as Lin Yushan didn’t have suitors.

Now that someone appeared, he somewhat presumptuously started to worry about her, preparing to play matchmaker.

Lin Yushan hummed in acknowledgment and went back to her dormitory after asking her advisor for a leave.

The same evening, Yue Jiannan saw Lin Yushan and the junior eating together in the cafeteria.

The next day, the third day...

Yue Jiannan heard people around him say that Lin Yushan and the junior were often seen together lately.

There were also gossipers who asked Yue Jiannan, "I thought you and Lin were an item? Did someone steal her from you?"

Yue Jiannan snapped back angrily, feeling inexplicably upset.

Since Yu Yaxian, although he never admitted it, he had developed a bit of a phobia about dating.

It was somewhat like the post-traumatic stress disorder mentioned in books.

Yet the presence of some people is so subtly pervasive that it seeps into every aspect of life without you noticing.

One afternoon, Yue Jiannan stayed late at the lab until his stomach began to hurt from hunger. It then dawned on him that he hadn’t eaten all day.

Usually, Lin Yushan would pack a meal from the cafeteria and place it on the table next to the classroom by the lab, and Yue Jiannan could see it while he wrote and sketched.

Once, late at night before going to sleep, Yue Jiannan suddenly thought of a new calculation method and habitually called Lin Yushan’s dormitory.

Her roommate picked up, answering briefly.

"She’s out," she said.

Before Yue Jiannan could ask if she was out with the junior, the line was already disconnected.

After hanging up, her roommate continued to curse Yue Jiannan.

"Such a nice girl, Lin Yushan, has been hanging on this tree for years, and look at him, still setting her up with someone else, pitiful girl sitting up in bed spacing out in the middle of the night."

"Ugh! Jerk!"

The others agreed, condemning Yue Jiannan in many shared sentiments, painting him as a modern-day betrayer.

Her roommate, furious, had not hung up the phone properly, letting all sounds carry over.

Yue Jiannan was stunned on the spot.

By all that’s holy, he had never thought of stringing Yushan along.

But... but he also didn’t know that Yushan liked him.
