At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Shu Yinyin stood in front of Dorm Room 502, biting her lip as she spoke.

It was indeed a rare sight for a girl to come to the boys\' dormitory, and the male students passing by in the corridor occasionally cast curious glances at her.

Some of the boys were shirtless, wearing only their underwear, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Shut up! The surveillance video has been sent to the principal\'s office! Do you have any idea what it cost me to save your school membership? The guaranteed recommendation spot I arranged for you is gone, and I\'ve even lost one for myself!"

After knocking on the door, Shu Fugai glared at her angrily.

For this wilful and capricious niece, he was now at his wits\' end!

If it weren\'t for his cousin\'s repeated reminders to take good care of her, he would have slapped her already!

What was she thinking, denying the undeniable, with all the evidence against her!

Just then, the door creaked open.

Pu Tongren opened the door.

He saw that the one knocking was a genteel-looking old man, and behind the old man, there was actually a girl with him!

A girl in the boys\' dorm, what was she up to?

And brought by an old man, too?

Could it be they were here for a rendezvous!??

Maybe someone in the dorm had wronged this girl?

And now her grandfather had come to seek an explanation?

In just an instant, all sorts of speculations flashed through Boss Pu\'s mind, akin to a dramatic scene from a soap opera.

"Excuse me, is Gu Yu a resident of this dorm room?"

Mr. Shu began to speak, trying his best to make his voice sound friendly and approachable.

Boss Pu was startled when he heard that!

Whoa! This old man was actually looking for Laosi!

No way! Could it be that Laosi was fooling around outside, decieved some girl\'s feelings and then ran off?

Hiss—why does the girl look so familiar the more he looked at her? Maybe she was indeed someone Laosi had been close with, so he had seen her somewhere?

Pu Tongren gasped.

"Fellow student? Is Gu Yu living here?"

Seeing the student who opened the door was spacing out, Mr. Shu frowned and repeated his question.

"Uh... yes, that\'s right. What do you need with Gu Yu?"

Pu Tongren finally regained his composure and quickly asked the two of them their purpose.

"Hehe, good news! I\'m Dean Shu from the School of Arts. The reason I\'m here is to offer Gu an apology!"

Mr. Shu chuckled as he looked at Pu Tongren\'s wary face and quickly explained his purpose for coming.

Hiss—The Dean! Apologizing to him!?

The school\'s giving Laosi quite the status gains, aren\'t they?

Pu Tongren sucked in a breath of cold air, as just a moment earlier, they had been discussing how the school\'s actions had been quite disheartening!

And now a dean had personally come to make an apology!

It seemed that he and Laoer had misunderstood the school!

"Oh, oh, oh! Please come in, Dean Shu!"

Pu Tongren hurriedly stepped aside to let the two visitors in.

Then he peeked around the corridor for a while before shutting the dorm door again.

"Dean Shu, and this student, please have a seat!"

As soon as he entered the dorm, Pu Tongren quickly brought over two stools for them to sit.

After all, this was the Dean!

A dean personally making a visit was representative of the school extending an apology to Laosi, and they couldn\'t fail to show respect!

Yu Shutong and Qin Shan, hearing Boss Pu address the old man, also promptly put down their phones and stood up.

A dean had actually come!

Laosi\'s status was indeed high!

"Laosi, come inside!"

Yu Laoer called out towards the balcony.

Gu Yu turned and stepped through the glass door to come inside.

But as soon as he entered, he saw Shu Yinyin behind the old man, and the smile on his face faded instantly.

Gu Yu\'s expression was blank, his tone indifferent,"Shu Yinyin, what are you doing in my dorm room?"

The two had always been at odds, especially after last night\'s celebration, where Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian had provoked him for so long; his disgust for the two had reached its limit.

It was always those kind of people, those you didn\'t want to deal with, yet who always seemed to show up in front of you to cause trouble!

Shu Yinyin was one of those people!

"Hehe, Gu Yu! I am the Dean of the School of Arts, Shu Fugai, but you can just call me Mr. Shu. I\'m here, firstly, to extend the school\'s regards to you, and secondly, to bring my niece to apologize to you!"

Mr. Shu hadn\'t even warmed his seat when Gu Yu entered. He immediately stood up, putting himself in a very humble posture.

"Ah, hello Dean Shu. As for an apology? Apologize for what? Although Shu Yinyin has really annoyed me these past few days, she hasn\'t done anything overly excessive to me."

Gu Yu wasn\'t surprised that the old man was Shu Yinyin\'s uncle since Lin Xinyue had told him before that Shu Yinyin\'s uncle was the Dean of the School of Arts.

But since the old man was, after all, a dean, he remained very polite.

However, due to his relationship with Shu Yinyin, he didn\'t have a very good impression of the dean.

What was truly strange was that, although Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian had repeatedly provoked him, they hadn\'t actually done anything too outrageous. Was their behavior really worth a dean\'s personal visit accompanied by Shu Yinyin to apologize?

What Shu Fugai did next left Gu Yu even more perplexed.

Because Shu Fugai actually took a thick paper envelope from his pocket and placed it on a computer desk nearby.

By the look of the envelope, the four occupants of Room 502 instantly guessed that it contained money!

As expected, Shu Fugai began to explain:

"Gu Yu, there is twenty thousand yuan here. Ten thousand is a consolation bonus from the school because you performed despite your injury, looking out for the greater good. The other ten thousand is from me personally, on behalf of my niece, to compensate for your medical and nutrition expenses!"

"Hold on, Dean Shu, I\'m a bit confused by what you mean. I can understand the ten thousand yuan consolation money from the school you mentioned, but why are you talking about Shu Yinyin compensating me for medical and nutrition expenses?"

Gu Yu looked utterly baffled.

What did his injury have to do with Shu Yinyin?

Why should Shu Yinyin compensate him for medical expenses?

What Shu Fugai said next made him furious.

"Ah, Gu Yu, let me not beat around the bush. Your injury was caused by my mischievous niece pressing the elevator control switch under the bad influence of that rascal Bi Jian!"

"I know you\'re such an outstanding person and very easy to get along with. You\'ll understand, right?"

Shu Fugai talked to himself and then pulled his niece Shu Yinyin to his side.

"Yinyin, give Gu Yu a sincere bow and apologize!"

Shu Yinyin\'s face showed extreme reluctance, but seeing her uncle glare at her with a warning look, she begrudgingly gave Gu Yu a bow.

"Gu Yu, I\'m sorry, okay? There!"

"I hope you can accept my apology."

At this moment, Gu Yu\'s expression had shifted from shock to icy coldness. He looked indifferently at Shu Yinyin bowing to him, unmoved by the gesture.

When Shu Yinyin straightened up, he scoffed coldly, "Heh, I do not accept your apology!"

With that, he walked over to the table, grabbed the money bag Shu Fugai had placed there with his left hand, and shoved it into Shu Yinyin\'s hands.

"Take your money and get the hell out of my dorm!"

Gu Yu pulled open the dormitory door, pointing outside as he yelled loudly.

A few people from the nearby dormitories, having heard the commotion, opened their doors to look over. Reflexively, he grabbed a jacket from beside his bed to cover his injured hand.

"You! I\'ve already apologized, what more do you want? Even my uncle, a dean, came personally! That\'s giving you face, you know? And you still tell me to get lost?"

Shu Yinyin was already quite reluctant inside; now, spurred by Gu Yu\'s tone, she instantly turned into a shrewish fury.

"Get out!"

Gu Yu couldn\'t be bothered to waste words on her, instead he walked over, grabbed her with his left hand, and started dragging her toward the door.

Shu Fugai was taken aback. Gu Yu had just been smiling and amiable moments ago—why had he changed face so suddenly?

But he also knew that if he didn\'t resolve the issue today, it would be very difficult to protect Shu Yinyin.

Although it was beneath him as a dean to have Gu Yu tell Shu Yinyin to "get lost" in front of him, he still endured it.

Adjusting his emotions, he walked up to Gu Yu with a smile, closed the dormitory door again, and gently grasped Gu Yu\'s left hand.

"Heh, Gu, let\'s talk this out peacefully, I haven\'t finished speaking yet!"

"I came here to also bring you some good news. After discussions with the principal, we\'ve decided to arrange a spot for you and your girlfriend Lin Xinyue to be recommended for graduate studies next semester!"

"Look at what you\'re doing. Once you become a graduate student of our School of Arts, we will still need to interact frequently! Let go, let go of her."

Shu Fugai made a lot of effort to convince him, but Gu Yu continued to firmly grasp Shu Yinyin\'s arm.

"Recommended for graduate studies? Do you think I care? Get lost!"

Gu Yu turned his face to glance at Shu Fugai, then yelled at Shu Yinyin, pulling her towards the door.

The three brothers in the dorm finally understood the whole situation and were also red with anger.

Yu Shutong opened the door, directly helping Gu Yu to drag Shu Yinyin out.

Now even Shu Fugai couldn\'t keep his composure. As a dean, he had tried to talk sense into Gu Yu, but why wouldn\'t he see reason?

Where was he supposed to put his face as dean?

His face turned dark at once, but he still didn\'t want to escalate the issue further.

For the last time, he spoke amicably to Gu Yu:

"Gu Yu, don\'t be like this... So tell me, what compensation do you want to forgive Yinyin? Just say the word, and anything I can do, I will do for you!"

To this point, he had already made the largest concession he could.

"I\'ll be handing this matter over to the police. Please take Shu Yinyin and leave my dorm. You have already disturbed our rest."

Gu Yu merely glanced at him coolly, refraining from berating him, leaving him a shred of dignity.

Shu Fugai was stunned for a moment, then a surge of anger suddenly welled up within him.

He could no longer hold it back.

"Fine! Fine! Very well!"

Showing his displeasure, he pointed at Gu Yu and repeated \'fine\' thrice, then left in a huff.

Shu Yinyin clenched her teeth, glared fiercely at Gu Yu, and hurriedly followed her uncle out.

With a "clang," the door to Dormitory 502 closed again.

Gu Yu sat down heavily on a stool, and the three brothers from 502 immediately gathered around.

"Laosi, cool down!"

"Here! Have some water!"

Gu Yu took the water one of the brothers handed him and took a big gulp.

Then, clenching his left fist, he slammed it down on the table.

"Damn! I actually thought it was an accident, turns out it was Shu Yinyin and Bi Jian pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

He hadn\'t told anyone that every time he thought about last night\'s accident, he felt a wave of fear!

If he hadn\'t been so physically strong, if he hadn\'t shielded Lin Xinyue, both of them could have been seriously injured, at the very least!

How could he not be furious?

"Laosi, what do you plan to do next?" Boss Pu asked with a frown.

Gu Yu looked around at the three brothers and hesitated before he said:

"I\'ve decided to let the police handle it."

"Hmm... we support you!"
