    Today Wen Shouyi lost her temper once; the effect and consequences were better than she anticipated. She had actually calmed down once she left the restaurant. She just hated seeing Gu Nianzhi’s smug face and wanted to smack it.


    “Professor He, I really have a reason for this. I was nning to tell you about it today. Even if she didn’t say anything, I would have exined it anyway.” Wen Shouyi jogged up and followed inside.


    He Zhichu removed his jacket and threw it carelessly. Wen Shouyi smoothly caught it and hung it in the closet. When she entered the living room, she saw He Zhichu sit elegantly on the red velvet couch, the crimson hue reflecting in his shimmering eyes. Wen Shouyi’s heart hammered as she slowly made her way over and stood close to him. She clutched her hands together and said respectfully, “Professor He, the thing is, although Nianzhi isn’t adult yet, she’s already 17 and will turn 18 in the end of the year. But her guardian is a middle aged man, aren’t you worried...?”


    He Zhichu’s eyes shed, his slightly drunk gazended on Wen Shouyi’s face, “You’re saying, you’re worried that he might try something with her?”


    If that was the reason, her meddling wasn’t all that uneptable. However, he didn’t appreciate someone else reading his mind. He Zhichu looked down and shook his finger, “No, this reason won’t hold. If you’re worried about this, you could’ve rented two apartments and have them live apart. Why did you have to be so unnecessary and install cameras in the apartment?”


    “...Professor He, it was my oversight, this won’t happen again.” Wen Shouyi’s heart wrenched, she could no longer understand what He Zhichu was thinking.


    He Zhichu rose from the sofa, his posture as straight as a pole as he folded his hands behind his back, “You’re made too serious a mistake, go back for two months ande back when the Congress is in session again.”


    He actually was still banishing her...


    Wen Shouyi could scarcely muster the bitter smile on her face. She wanted to plead her case, but couldn’t utter a single word when she looked at He Zhuchi’s impassive face. It boiled down to the fact she wasn’t as shameless as Gu Nianzhi... That little orphan girl could change faces so quickly that a normal person would never be her opponent. She was all too good at ttery and had no morals–this must be because her life was too hard and she couldn’t survive otherwise... Wen Shouyi’s couldn’t help the wicked thoughts, but quickly controlled herself. She couldn’t be like this, He Zhichu didn’t like malicious women...


    “Yes, Professor He, then I’ll back to see my parents.” Wen Shouyi carefully nced at He Zhichu’s eyes. He turned to go upstairs without saying anything.


    Wen Shoyi looked at the empty staircase in a daze and couldn’t help wrap herself in her arms when she thought about her home. Her parents were only gardeners for the He family. It was because she studied hard from a young age and was outstanding that she was chosen to be He Zhichu’s side to care for and assist him. If she went back like this, the people at home would know she made a mistake and she would lose all face. Wen Shouyi gritted her teeth and chased after him anyway.


    He Zhichu was just about to open his bedroom door.


    “Professor He!” Wen Shouyi hastily called, “Do you have any messages for Mr. He?”


    He Zhichu didn’t turn his head, his slender fingers resting on the door handle and his eyes shing. He said in a deep voice, “Ask after his health and tell him I’m well.”


    “Yes, Professor He.” Wen Shouyi sighed in relief. With this request from him, she had a legitimate reason to go home and see her family and friends. Everyone would know she was tasked by He Zhichu to return home to ask after Mr. He, his father on his behalf.

    Two dayster, Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang went to the Harvard Law School to attend sses and found out that Teaching Assistant Wen was on a holiday. Brother Huang stared at his ss schedule for a long time, then looked at Gu Nianzhi. He pointed at the schedule where it said Teaching Assistant Wen was on vacation and pondered, “Nianzhi, this can’t be a coincidence?”


    “How should I know?” Gu Nianzhi widened her eyes innocently, “I’m not Teaching Assistant Wen. If you want to know the reason, you’d better ask her. You have her phone and email.”


    Brother Huang gaped at Gu Nianzhi, he’s learnt that this youngdy was a youngster to be reckoned with–she had the great ability of lying right to people’s faces.


    Gu Nianzhi refused to back down and stared right back at him.


    Are weparing who has the bigger eyes? Who was afraid of who!


    The bell rang in the halls and students wearing backpacks began looking for their ssrooms in groups of twos and threes. Gu Nianzhi and Brother Huang went in opposite directions.


    Brother Huang called after her in shock, “Huh? You’re not going to the same ss as me?”


    Gu Nianzhi smiled as she winked at him “Of course not. Brother Huang is a second year doctorate student and will be in the third year right away. I’m just a post-grad student who didn’t even start school yet. How can I go to the same ss as Brother Huang? I wouldn’t be able to understand your sses.”


    Brother Huang was extremely ttered, “How can that be? You’re so smart, you’ll catch up quickly. Ok, talk youter, I gotta go to ss, see you!”


    Gu Nianzhi waved at him and wiped the sweat off her forehead before going to He Zhichu’s office. She was too embarrassed to take out her ss schedule earlier. All the sses were located at “Room 409, Professor He’s Office.” She couldn’t imagine Brother Huang’s face if he saw that... Arriving at the entrance of the office, Gu Nianzhi knocked lightly.


    “Come in.” He Zhichu’s crisp voice sounded from inside the room.


    Gu Nianzhi opened the door and smiled as she bowed at him, “Professor He.”


    “You’re here.” He Zhichu picked up hisptop, “Let’s go, Room 305. Today is a ssroom discussion.”


    So it’s still in the ssroom...


    Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her head. Why wasn’t the room on the schedule in the first ce, so she could go directly?


    He Zhichu seemed to know what she was thinking and said dryly, “I don’t typically lecture in ssrooms. This ssroom discussion wasst minute, to let you meet your fellow ssmates.” He paused, “They are all interning at the Congress, although they aren’t my students.”


    Gu Nianzhi understood, these students were mentored by other professors. They were going to her colleagues for the next six months, so it’s better that she quickly got acquainted with them. She put on a cute smile and followed He Zhichu to Room 305.


    “Hmm, a cute Asian girl. –Cutie, do you have a boyfriend? Do you wanna sit by me, and we can discuss this important topic?” A blonde hair, blue eyed, tall young man whistled at Gu Nianzhi as he made space besides him.


    “An, flirting in ss is a deduction of 10%.” He Zhichu ruthlessly opened hisptop and made a note on An’s name.


    “Ah ah ah–Professor He, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I won’t do it again!” An wailed as he nearly toppled off his seat. Gu Nianzi covered mouth and couldn’t help chuckling.


    An was sprawled on the desk and looked up to be dazed by Gu Nianzhi’s smiling face, “Cutie, sit here with me. Look, I even lost 10% for you!”


    Gu Nianzhi shook her and answered in a authentic London ent, “You deserve it.” Then she sat in the front row to directly face He Zhichu’s podium.


    A smile shed over He Zhichu’s impassive face before he began assigning the discussion topic.

    Yin Shixiong cooped up in the apartment for a few days, then started taking his backpack to stroll around the Harvard campus. There were no walls around the university, and he didn’t stand out because there were many tourists just like him. He had a detectors for radio and electromaic signals in his backpack, as he was used to doing this for work.
