How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 40

Chapter 40: The Vicious Ex-Boyfriend of the Impoverished Bigshot (Part 8)

By the time Yu Lin stayed at the school and became the beautiful teacher that the students of Ansui University had to check in with once, Shen Zhou was already a very famous entrepreneur in Jinnan Province.

From a small town to the provincial capital, from having nothing to having countless assets, ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

The osmanthus tree at Ansui University was tall and straight. Students would pass under the tree every day, and their noses would be filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus. However, this beautiful scenery that attracted tourists was not more important to the students who were in a hurry than the public lecture that was about to be late.

Professor Yu only gave one public lecture a year. If you missed it, there would be no more. It was extremely difficult to get a spot. If you didn’t make it, you would beat your chest and stamp your feet for a whole year.

Before nine o’clock, the art building was already crowded with students. There were students from all majors, holding their books and running in.

The atmosphere had become more and more different in these few years. Ever since he had been arranged to give a lecture by the school, the gentle and quiet Professor Yu’s popularity among the students had been rising.

A few girls were in a hurry and were walking quickly with their books. They didn’t see the road in front of them clearly and accidentally bumped into a man in a black suit in the crowded stairwell.

The man looked back, moved to the side to let them pass, and in the instant he turned around, they quickly looked back and only saw a glimpse of his sharp and cold features.

The man’s age could not be told from the outside, but he was obviously not a student. His aura was very strong, and he was imposing without being angry, which made people not dare to be presumptuous with him.

“Damn, what does he do? Is he also here to see the professor?” Someone unconsciously said as they turned around, and was quickly pulled away by their companion.

When the few of them arrived at the lecture hall, it was still late. It was crowded with people and was a chaotic scene.

The protagonist of the day was standing on the stage, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was wearing a camel-colored coat and was lowering his head to put up a PPT. His temperament was gentle, and his features were stunningly beautiful.

His long and slender knuckles were casually propped on the stage, fair and slender. In the noisy classroom, it was like a quiet ink painting scroll.

The few late students looked at him hesitantly, and listening to his gentle and low voice, they quickly exchanged a look, and did not dare to go in directly to disturb him. They chose to bend down and go to the back door.

Just as they had gone in, they found that the man they had met on the stairs was also there.

He had also come late, and there were no seats in the classroom. He simply leaned against the wall and listened.

He stood casually, and he didn’t look like he was interested in art history at all. He also didn’t look at the projection screen on the blackboard, but just listened to the voice from the microphone, leaned against the wall, and his eyelids were lowered.

It wasn’t until the professor on the stage said something about a certain painter’s living habits, and there was a burst of laughter below, that his gaze fell over, and he suddenly let out a very light laugh.

Only then did people know that he had been listening all along.

This laugh also dispelled the indifferent sense of distance on him. A few women exchanged a look, glanced at the noisy door, and in the crowded crowd, they quietly squeezed into the small vacuum that the people in the back row had tacitly “left” for the man.

“Can we stand here? The professor’s class is too popular, and we can’t find a place to stand.” One of the girls said boldly, “It’s too hard to see him.”

“En.” The man looked over, and for some reason, he nodded lightly. “You can.”

The few girls were students of the literature department and were not interested in art history. They had just heard that Professor Yu’s public lecture was hard to come by, and had come to visit out of admiration.

The professor was very charming, his voice was gentle and quiet, and the content was interesting and not boring. The listeners were immersed in it.

As they listened, their gazes fell on the man on the stage with gentle features and a steady voice, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

And they didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that the other party seemed to have looked in their direction several times.

Through the long aisle and the crowd, the other party’s amber gaze fell over, and occasionally his eyes would curve, quiet and gentle, like moonlight flowing.

The first girl who had discovered it excitedly tugged at her companion’s sleeve. Just as she was about to share her discovery, she saw that a companion’s expression was solemn, and she showed them a blurry picture on her phone screen.

On the picture was a silhouette of a man. Although his face was blurry, he was exceptionally familiar.

“Who is it?” Someone asked in a small voice, their gaze falling on the stage in front, not paying attention.

It wasn’t until the other companion’s fingertip lifted slightly and silently pointed to the position next to them.

At the same time, the person holding the phone’s fingertip silently slid down, revealing a row of terrifying news headlines.

“…”

Only then did the person who had spoken open their eyes in shock. For the rest of the class, they were more obedient than in their professional classes, and they were extremely quiet.

Shen Zhou did not often appear in public, but he had been in the limelight in recent years, and there were also people who recognized him.

Such people were not common, and it was a good opportunity to meet them. Several times, someone had wanted to come over and talk to him, but seeing his cold and unapproachable appearance, they had not dared to come over.

A public lecture passed quickly. When it was over, some people left with satisfaction, but more people excitedly crowded to the stage, raising their hands to ask questions, wanting to have more contact with Teacher Yu.

Below the stage were a series of vibrant and smiling faces, and the questions they asked were varied.

A student asked excitedly, “Teacher, are you single?”

Yu Lin put down the mouse and looked over, smiled, and shook his head. “No.”

The man was tall and slender, and his temperament was gentle and quiet. He looked over with a light laugh. The students were stunned for a moment, and then they began to sigh in disappointment. “If only I had been born earlier.”

“That’s right, teacher. If I had been born earlier, I would definitely have chased you!”

Yu Lin did not reply, but let out a light laugh. Someone raised their hand to ask a question, and he answered them one by one.

When the crowd had dispersed, he looked up, and his gaze fell accurately on the back row.

Shen Zhou had discovered him as soon as he had entered the door. Although he didn’t know why the person who was on a business trip would suddenly appear, it didn’t stop him from being in a daze for a moment.

For the entire class, Yu Lin had looked in Shen Zhou’s direction several times.

Shen Zhou was leaning against the back row in the shadows. Seeing that he was free, he got up and walked over.

He crossed the rows of seats and stopped at the very front. He sat in the seat of the student who had just asked a question, looked over, and suddenly opened his mouth. “Teacher Yu.”

“Hmm?” Yu Lin put away the mouse, lowered his eyes to look over, and asked, “Is there anything?”

Shen Zhou looked at him, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up slightly.

The position of the stage was a little higher. Yu Lin was standing on the stage, and when Shen Zhou spoke, he had to look up at him slightly.

The man’s features were dark and deep, and his brow was slightly raised. He asked, “If I had been born a few years earlier, could I have chased you?”

Yu Lin put down the computer in his hand, supported himself on the stage and looked at him, and let out a light laugh. “You could.”

Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows. “Only I could?”

Yu Lin said, “Only you could.”

Shen Zhou nodded and let out a low laugh. “Okay.”

After packing up their things, the two of them went out together. They happened to meet the principal who was on patrol with some people. Seeing Shen Zhou, he came over in surprise.

“CEO Shen.” The principal reached out and shook Shen Zhou’s hand. “Long time no see.”

He smiled, and his gaze turned to Yu Lin. “Are you also here to listen to Teacher Yu’s class out of admiration?”

“En.” Shen Zhou said, “Teacher Yu’s class is very good, and art history is also very interesting.”

The principal laughed. “That’s right. You’re welcome to come often.”

The two of them talked and exchanged pleasantries. In their conversation, the two of them had arranged for their next cooperation and had greatly praised Ansui University in the field of art.

Yu Lin’s fingers in his pocket paused. He turned his head to look at them and couldn’t help but laugh.

In these years, Shen Zhou had made up for his past shortcomings through self-study. His learning ability was amazing, and learning was not difficult for him at all.

But he actually had no interest in art, nor did he have any appreciation for it.

Perhaps only he knew that Shen Zhou, who had listened very seriously in the art appreciation class, as if he extremely agreed with the aesthetic concepts, was a complete pragmatist.

He didn’t care about beauty or ugliness at all.

***

Yu Lin stayed in this world until the last day, as usual.

From a young man in a small town to a famous entrepreneur, Shen Zhou’s life should have been full of ups and downs.

But after the world ended, when Yu Lin returned to the mission space and reviewed the plot, he found that it was not the case.

His life with Shen Zhou had been almost peaceful. Several crises that should have happened had been avoided in advance by Shen Zhou and had not caused much trouble for the two of them.

Including one year when he would have been betrayed by a business partner, and the other party would have put him to death. The empire he had built would have collapsed, and his subordinates would also have suffered a fatal blow.

Shen Zhou had lain low for several years before he had made a comeback, had killed his enemy, and had created a new legend.

But in real life, this had not happened. As soon as the person who would have betrayed Shen Zhou had appeared, he had been dealt with cleanly.

His life with Yu Lin had been peaceful and smooth. Until his old age, he would still go to listen to Yu Lin’s lectures without fail.

And it wasn’t just this world. Yu Lin reviewed the previous two worlds and suddenly found that in these worlds that he had temporarily joined, he hadn’t even done anything, but it had been simpler and smoother than many pay-to-win scripts.

Could it be a coincidence? Yu Lin didn’t think so.

The system had been waiting in the mission space for a long time. Seeing Yu Lin return, it quickly flew over in a circle and rubbed against his wrist. “What’s wrong, Lin Lin? How was this world? Did you see him? Did you find anything?”

Before the mission in this world had started, Yu Lin had suddenly told the system that he wanted to confirm something, so he had chosen to host this world on his own, and the system did not need to participate. This way, he would be able to experience the character’s emotions more realistically.

Although the system was a little disappointed, it still felt that what Yu Lin wanted to do was more important, and it had quickly agreed.

It was also because of these years of more realistic day and night together that Yu Lin had confirmed one thing.

In these worlds, from Su Huai to Xie Yibai, and then to Shen Zhou, he had met the same person.

Although the three of them had different appearances and their personalities had changed, a person’s underlying character would not change.

He would always meet Yu Lin at the beginning of the story, and then he would walk with Yu Lin to the end.

Yu Lin didn’t know how he had done these things, or what his specific identity was. He had searched in the mission space, but there was no related information.

“What’s wrong, Lin Lin? Did you find him?” As Yu Lin’s system, it was always on the same side as him.

Although the system rules warned them not to let their hosts fall in love with data and stay in the world, he just felt that Lin Lin’s happiness was more important.

“I found him.” Yu Lin came back to his senses, looked at the spinning system, and blinked lightly.

He closed the panel and ruffled the system’s head. “What’s the next world? Help me import it.”

He had a premonition that in the next world, the person he wanted to see was also waiting for him.

The system was dazed. “Lin Lin, aren’t you going to rest for a few more days?”

His host had always felt that his own life was more important than the mission.

Hearing this, Yu Lin looked over and smiled.

He thought of the almost completely smooth mission world and shook his head softly. “No. I’ve already rested.”
