Chapter 83 The Post-Marriage Life — Extra Chapter (1/2)


Q University Forum.


【OP is a freshman who attended Professor Lin's class for the first time last week. We locked eyes at least four or five times. Does he have any feelings for me? Should I respond?...... Really feeling distressed qaq~ Does anyone know this professor? Can you give me some advice (cute)?】


——Friends, who here has yellow urine?


——The OP’s profile says male, another cunning and promiscuous 0. Back off, back off! I suggest Professor Lin go to a temple for some blessings. He’s just too attractive to such types.


——Let me point out the bs here. Firstly, if the OP could grab a spot in Professor Lin's class, he must have upgraded to VIP in the school computer room, wearing his mouse out. Yet, he still pretends to be unaware of how popular the class is. Quite the green tea! Secondly, regarding the so-called eye contact, OP probably never looked down for the entire class and counted them on his fingers! Lastly, there are plenty of diligent students. If OP isn’t going to pay attention in class, he should leave the opportunity to those who need it, like me. OO number: xxxx, price negotiable!


——The brother upstair is right... but why would a flirty 0 make things difficult for another flirty 0 just because you're a senior? Freshmen who are lurking, disperse! And by the way, let me inform you all that Professor Lin is married, so no need to bother.


——Let's take our professor away~ Our professor clearly doesn't indulge in romantic affairs. His wife must be a well-educated young lady who is understanding and reasonable. Their love must be one of mutual respect and support. You guys just can't understand.


There were countless more direct insults calling him shameless, pushing the post to the top of the trending list. After all, there were many ways to express affection. This was the first time they had seen something so absurd.


A few days later, the OP finally reappeared to close the thread.


【Thread is locked, no further replies.】


Perhaps the OP had discovered that Lin Xu never read the forums or they had confirmed the authenticity of Lin Xu's marital status. Either way, the OP's tone had lost its cutesy edge and was now more straightforward, indicating that the individual was capable of engaging in a serious discussion.


The revelation that this freshman was deliberately seeking attention meant that the thread could not be closed easily. Nearly everyone passing by felt compelled to comment.


——Freshmen, just admire his looks and move on.


——Don’t be disheartened if you missed his class. In a few days, there will be an online course available. Just ask the first-year bio students for the course code and you’ll be set! Now call me Lei Feng~


——Sorry, we know your dirty intentions. Our department’s freshmen will definitely protect the professor!


As for Lin Xu, he was a central figure at Q University. Having been at Q University from his undergraduate days to the present, he naturally left a mark on the campus as he matured. Nearly every new student, within their first week on campus, would learn about him.


Whether they were pursuing further studies, working, or studying abroad, everyone who learned about him admired him.


There were even some slightly obsessive students who had printed out rare photos of Lin Xu smiling from his freshman year and posted them beside their dorm beds.


After all, Professor Lin seldom smiled during his classes.


By the age of twenty-eight, Lin Xu had become the youngest full professor in Q University’s history.


In his field of study, apart from the early journal articles, his published papers were the most authoritative and professional. For graduates in the same field, citing his papers served as a clear indication of a well-studied research.


Q University truly took pride in him. While numerous foreign institutions had invited him to teach abroad, only a few short-term exchange lectures were agreed upon. No university had managed to lure him away permanently.


Only a handful of top academic experts in his field knew that his team was working on research that could potentially lead to the next Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.


To experts abroad, he was seen as a mysterious and youthful Eastern genius. Besides his published journals, there was hardly any other information about him.


In reality, Lin Xu was just an ordinary married man...


He would go grocery shopping after classes, enjoy family outings on weekends, and when lying in bed with his wife before sleep, he wasn't as ascetic as he usually appeared.


The only notable differences were that he was slightly more handsome, in better shape, and at twenty-eight, he could still pass for a college student.


Just minutes before the online class, Lin Xu pressed his lips together, feeling a twinge of nervousness, despite his thorough preparation.


Yet, his experiences over two lifetimes had made him much more composed, especially given the numerous social deaths he had endured in this lifetime.


As freshmen had just started at the university, they were often unclear about their future studies and professional plans. At this time, lectures like this were very necessary. Lin Xu was the first lecturer, setting the stage for the other professors who would follow with their lectures over the next few days.


Since he was relatively new in his position, Lin Xu took the initiative to begin, hoping to inspire others.


Sitting in his study, Lin Xu had not yet shared his screen, but the number of attendees in the virtual meeting room was steadily climbing.


With nearly two hundred new students in the Biology Department this year, the number of participants in the meeting room surged to over five hundred. This increase puzzled and further unsettled Lin Xu, whose social phobia seemed to rise with the number of attendees.


Suddenly, Lin Xu’s eyelids twitched. He glanced towards the door, feeling an inexplicable worry that Zhizhi might accidentally wander in during his lecture.


The night before, after finishing, Zhizhi had lain in his arms, staring dazedly, as if all his strength had drained away.


Lin Xu had patted his head and then suddenly remembered the weekend lecture. Holding him by the waist, he had taken a moment to explain the situation thoroughly to his wife, repeating the instructions several times.


His only fear was that Zhizhi might forget and cause some kind of mishap.


Lin Xu recalled that Zhizhi had repeatedly acknowledged his instructions the previous night, so he must have remembered.


However, there was a saying that "what a man says in bed are often lies." Lin Xu never lied, not even in bed. But when Zhizhi was comfortable, his mind tended to turn to mush, and with the affectionate way he clung to Lin Xu like a kitten, he might not have fully registered what he said.


It was only nine o’clock. Zhizhi typically wouldn’t wake up at this hour, so Lin Xu’s worries eased a little.


As the lecture began, Lin Xu adjusted his posture and started sharing his screen.


“Can everyone hear me?” Lin Xu cleared his throat and, without any small talk, started his PowerPoint presentation.


Unlike other young professors who have a more casual and friendly approach, Lin Xu was more like a dean. He was very serious during his lectures. Students would often try to lighten the mood with online memes, but Professor Lin never seemed to find them funny... He would merely look at them with mild curiosity before resuming his lecture.


The students who were the subject of his gaze felt both embarrassed and thrilled. Being looked at by such a handsome professor was definitely a heart-fluttering experience!


Thus, Lin Xu remained a popular figure.


For a moment, the new students in front of their screens finally saw the legendary Professor Lin from the Biology Department. Some non-bio students, who were watching the lecture in the cafeteria while eating, couldn’t help but glance over when they heard his voice.


Within seconds, four heads crowded around a cafeteria table.


“Woah, he's really handsome...”


“Is the professor wearing lip balm? His lips look so light, so kissable.”


“Hey, look, is that a little redness on the professor’s neck?”


“Professor, it’s the distance of the internet that keeps you safe.”


Lin Xu caught sight of these bold comments in his peripheral vision and hesitated even to press his lips together. He was bewildered by the style of this new batch of students. Such behavior had never occurred during his classes before.


“Please refrain from posting irrelevant comments. There will be many more days to come, and I can remember your names after seeing them once,” Lin Xu said calmly.


“Could the class monitor please manage the order? I hope this lecture will be beneficial to the first-year students' academic planning.”


Although Lin Xu’s expression was stern and authoritative, he rarely lost his temper. His words were merely a gentle admonishment.


Gradually, the situation was brought under control. However, occasional comments still popped up, usually triggered by his occasional expressions.


“Professor, you’re so handsome!” Although harmless, it still made its way onto the screen.


As a result, the freshmen from the Biology Department, and even those from other departments, came to realize that the young Professor Lin was a no-nonsense type. If it had been another younger professor, they might have played along and joked with the students.


After about half an hour, Lin Xu and the students settled into the lecture. Lin Xu immersed himself fully, delivering the content more comprehensively and thoroughly than his prepared notes, repeatedly emphasizing the key points.


Almost all the students who were attentively listening to the lecture could sense that this professor was genuinely concerned that they might not take their four years of university seriously. While many considered Professor Lin a genius, it was clear now that his success was the result of his own relentless effort.
