Chapter 1

The bedroom was silent, and the heavy curtains isolated the room from the outside world. The room was pitch black, except for the phone that had fallen off the bed when she was awakened by the dream.

The screen showed the current time, 4:20 in the morning.

The aftermath of the nightmare was still there.

She lowered her eyes and sat motionless on the bed. This nightmare seemed to have been haunting her for a long time. She was sweating profusely, her pajamas were sticking to her skin, and even the air was permeated with a cramped and oppressive atmosphere.

After a long time, she got out of bed. After a simple shower, she changed into a sweater and went out.

In the early morning of early autumn, there was a damp mist in the air and the wind was cool.

The bright lights on the city streets also went out with the time, leaving only a few scattered street lamps emitting dim and soft light. The light was mixed, and the red and green signs of 7-11 seemed to be dim as if they were added with noise.

On the way there, she received a message from her cousin Meng Weiyu.

Meng Weiyu: [Im going crazy, I finally finished my advanced math homework. ]

Although Cen Sui graduated from college three years ago, he still felt his hair stand on end when he saw the word "advanced math". He could not help but think of the fear of being dominated by advanced math in those years.

Cen Sui: [You are also a ruthless person who worked until four in the morning to do the questions. ]

Meng Weiyu: [I just hope that the advanced math teacher will let me pass the midterm exam because I studied late at night. ]

The autumn rain came very suddenly, and fine raindrops fell.

Cen Sui pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt and walked to 7-11 at a leisurely pace.

Meng Weiyu did not send a message, but called directly.

Her voice was filled with fatigue from staying up late: "Sister, I believe that sentence. Anyone can betray you, but if you dont know math, you just cant do it."

Cen Sui sighed with empathy.

"But," she changed the subject, "Did you wake up from a nap or have you been suffering from insomnia until now?"

Cen Sui opened the door of the store, "I woke up."

"How long did you sleep this time?"

Cen Sui pondered for a moment.

She is a food up master, with accounts on major platforms, named "Eat Delicious You", and fans affectionately call her "Eat". She needs to update food videos regularly, and today happened to be inspired, and made taro paste Oreo baked rice cakes, taro paste toasts, and taro paste bubble tea with the theme of "taro paste".

After recording the video, she roughly tidied the kitchen again.

When she was lying in bed, it was almost eleven oclock.

Although she didnt fall asleep until one oclock, Cen Sui thought about it and answered hastily: "I slept for five or six hours."

Meng Weiyu obviously didnt believe it: "Did you really sleep for five hours?"

"Four and a half hours?"

"Sister."

"...Okay, three hours." Cen Sui confessed.

Sensing that Meng Weiyu was about to get angry, Cen Sui changed the subject in time: "Arent you going to bed yet? What time is it?"

"We ordered takeout in the dormitory and ate it before going to bed." Meng Weiyu said, "How strange it is. I wanted to sleep like crazy when I was doing the questions. Once I finished the questions, I felt refreshed and even wanted to run a few laps on the playground."

She suddenly had an idea, "Sister, why dont you try hypnosis for advanced mathematics?"

"..."

Cen Suis face froze, "Do you know how I spent my advanced mathematics back then?"

"How did I spend it?"

Cen Sui thought of the past.

She was a typical student who would cram at the last minute. She only studied seriously during the exam week. Most of her other subjects had key points, so it was easy and stress-free to review, except for Advanced Mathematics.

There was no key point, even if she read the book to pieces.

However, she heard that a big man in the mathematics department sorted out the key points and difficulties of Advanced Mathematics. There were many examples written in that notebook, and coincidentally, several of the questions appeared in the Advanced Mathematics test paper.

For three consecutive semesters, the questions pressed in that notebook appeared in the test paper.

Therefore, the notebook was given an intimate nickname by all the freshmen in the school - "Conquering the Hearts of Thousands of Boys and Girls".

She was not sure whether she conquered thousands of boys and girls, but she was conquered anyway.

Thousands of boys and girls scrambled for it, and copies were circulated throughout the school.

Cen Sui was lucky and borrowed the notebook. She stayed up for three nights and finally memorized all the examples on it. She finally passed the passing line.

"When I heard advanced mathematics, I thought of the fear of being dominated by advanced mathematics. Not to mention insomnia, I might not be able to sleep all night." After saying this, Cen Sui heard the sound of the automatic door opening.

At this time, there are still people coming to the convenience store.

She looked over in surprise.

It was a man.

He took a bottle of water and paid at the cashier. He was straight and slender, wearing a well-cut suit. From this angle, you can only see his strong and smooth side face lines and his high nose bridge.

His hands are beautiful, with slender fingers. Through the cold white skin, you can vaguely see the undulating blue veins.

Cen Sui took a bottle of milk he usually drank from the cabinet, turned around and went to get bread, and said absentmindedly: "You know, if I return to the university campus now, the first thing I would do might be to poison the high mathematics teacher and make him mute!"

Meng Weiyu: "... You are so cruel."

She glanced at the cashier, and the man had already paid the bill. The automatic door made a sound of "Welcome to come again next time".

Cen Sui retracted his gaze and took the bread to pay the bill.

Meng Weiyus joyful voice came from the other end of the phone, mixed with the rustling female voice, "Sister, my takeaway has arrived, I wont talk to you for now."

After hanging up the phone, Cen Sui pushed open the door of the convenience store, and it was still raining outside.

Cen Sui stood under the eaves eating bread, his eyes unconsciously sweeping out.

A car was parked under the street light in front of the right. The man just now was leaning against the car door, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers, with a scarlet flame burning. He lowered his head slightly, and his appearance was obscure and blurred through the heavy rain and fog.

He seemed to notice that someone was watching him.

He suddenly raised his head.

After seeing the mans appearance clearly, Cen Suis breathing stagnated.

The man looked indifferent and distant, and exuded an extremely strong sense of coldness.

But his facial features were delicate like sculptures, with clear contours, a high nose bridge, and naturally drooping forehead hair, half covering his dark eyebrows, but you can still clearly capture the pair of peach blossom eyes with a gentle color.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

But soon.

The man retracted his gaze, his eyebrows drooped lazily, and lowered his head to smoke.

A cigarette was quickly finished.

He turned around and got into the car, and the taillights of the car flickered in the hazy rain and fog, and finally disappeared.

Less than five minutes after he left, the rain stopped.

He came silently and left without saying a word.

He was like a noble vampire who only appeared in the dead of night. Even when he smoked a cigarette, he could still exude an aloof and noble aura. When he left, he glanced at Cen Sui, his eyes raised, and he seemed to be smiling.

He was extremely attractive.

He was like a vampire who came to seduce souls in the middle of the night.

He specifically targeted single girls like her.

And she was easily seduced by him.

——

For half a month, Cen Sui went to the 7-11 at three or four in the morning.

She would buy a bottle of milk and a piece of bread and eat them outside the convenience store, watching the mist in the air gradually dissipate, and encounter the autumn rain falling.

She would experience everything she experienced when she met him.

But she never met him again.

Another day.

The sky was filled with a fish belly white light. Cen Sui put away her regrets and went home. After arriving home, the accumulated fatigue surged up and invaded her mind. She fell asleep and did not wake up until lunch time.

After waking up, she ate something in a hurry.

Thinking that she was going to Mengs house today, she took a change of clothes and drove there.

Her uncles Meng Jianjun and Xiang Qin were professors at Nancheng University and had been living in the teachers apartment for many years. After Cen Sui arrived at Mengs house, she found that only Meng Weiyu was at home.

Meng Weiyu pulled her to chat for a while.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, got up from the bed, and walked out in slippers, "I suddenly remembered that my mother asked me to give the fruit basket on the table to Professor Lu next door when she went out."

Cen Sui followed him out: "Isnt Professor Li next door? Why is it Professor Lu again?"

"A new associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, a top student who graduated from Stanford, is said to be less than 30 years old." Meng Weiyu was quite envious, "I heard from my dad that Professor Lu is quite handsome."

Cen Sui disagreed: "My uncle also thinks that Professor Xus son is handsome."

Professor Xus son has a height and weight ratio close to one to one.

Silence for a few seconds.

Meng Weiyu still insisted: "But Professor Lus name is very nice. It sounds like the name of a standard male protagonist in a romance novel. Whats his name?" She thought hard and finally remembered, "Its Lu Yanchi."

Cen Sui: "Professor Xus son is also called Xu Chenmo. Isnt this name a male protagonist?"

"..."

Cen Sui grabbed a banana from the fruit plate and bit it, saying: "He is an associate professor before he is 30 years old. Such a top student should not have much hair, right?"

She hit him mercilessly, "Although his real age is 30, he may look like he is in his 40s or 50s. He has a Mediterranean face, a flat nose, and wears a plaid shirt that science and engineering boys love to wear. Because Zhong Yuxue sits in the laboratory every day, he has a layer of fat on his belly. Such a man may be out of breath after walking two steps."

"..."

The beautiful fantasy in Meng Weiyus mind was instantly shattered. She stuffed the fruit basket into Cen Suis arms, "You go and deliver it."

Cen Sui didnt know whether to laugh or cry.

She walked out with the heavy fruit basket.

Knocked on the door opposite.

——

The sound of footsteps gradually became clearer, and soon, the door was opened.

As the door opened little by little, Cen Sui heard the mans voice: "Lu Yanchi, I am your guest after all. Do you have the nerve to ask a guest to open the door?"

The door was open.

At the same time, Cen Sui heard a lazy voice: "Its quite embarrassing."

The voice was low and deep, with a dragging tail, with a faint sense of laziness.

Seeing Cen Sui, Lu Shenzes eyes lit up: "Hello, are you looking for Lu Yanchi?"

The girl outside the door was very beautiful, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle and approachable smile on her face. The whole person looked non-aggressive.

Cen Sui introduced herself: "I am the niece of Professor Meng next door. My uncle asked me to bring fruit to Professor Lu."

Lu Shenze turned sideways and felt very fresh about this title: "Professor Lu?"

Because of his action, a large open field of vision appeared in front of Cen Suis eyes, and the one who broke into her field of vision was Lu Yanchi, who was standing less than five meters behind Lu Shenze.

The distance between the two was much closer than that night.

He stood against the light, and the mans expression was dyed a little more gentle by the weak light. With a smile on his face The amber pupils and peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and the smile was gentle and lazy.

Their eyes met.

Cen Suis brain was blank for a moment.

The man he met at the convenience store turned out to be Lu Yanchi?
