"Mr. Lin?" Situ Mingyue was dumbfounded.

There's only one person in the room with the surname Lin, but how could he possibly be called "Mr."?

Could it be the migrant worker, Lin?

Situ Mingyue was shocked; someone as highly esteemed as Old Professor Tang would look for migrant Lin? Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.

Also, why is Old Professor Tang, who is usually so strict and makes countless students and teachers tremble, acting so kindly and smiling today?

Did he take the wrong medicine?

Situ Mingyue was utterly puzzled.

"Mingyue, who is it?" Lin Hai called out curiously, his head sticking out from the bathroom while brushing his teeth.

Upon seeing Lin Hai, Old Professor Tang's eyes lit up.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin." Old Professor Tang greeted very amicably.

His tone was devoid of any senior attitude, considering Lin Hai an equal.

"Ah, it's Elder Tang, good morning."

Lin Hai chuckled as he greeted.

"What's going on?"

Situ Mingyue rubbed her ears several times.

Did she wake up too early and start hallucinating?

"Mr. Lin, do you happen to have time today?" Old Professor Tang asked cautiously, as if worried Lin Hai might not be pleased.

Situ Mingyue was shocked again.

This is completely unscientific.

Not to mention a mere migrant worker, even Bao Dazhong, the dark and stern discipline office director, receives no more than a glance from Old Professor Tang.

"Maybe later, does Elder Tang have something going on today?" Lin Hai asked.

Old Professor Tang rubbed his hands awkwardly, his face full of a flattering smile: "The last prescription you gave us, we tried several times, but the effects never match the expectations on the formula..."

"Oh, that thing, probably your skills are lacking." Lin Hai said nonchalantly after wiping his mouth.

Situ Mingyue was stupefied again, imagining how Old Professor Tang would soon furiously disassemble Lin, piece by piece.

"Uh, Mr. Lin, it's my skills that were lacking, sigh."

Old Professor Tang looked shameful.

What? Situ Mingyue's eyes were about to pop out.

This... the plot twist seems off.

Old Professor Tang didn't get angry?!

Then Lin Hai's voice rang out again: "Elder Tang, wait a bit, I'll tidy up and talk with you in detail."

Once those words were spoken, Old Professor Tang's eyes lit up, growing extremely excited, like an eager child learning from their teacher.

Situ Mingyue felt her worldview had been thoroughly overturned.

Meanwhile, a hundred thousand questions arose in her mind.

Just how did migrant Lin make Old Professor Tang show such respect? It was clear Old Professor Tang didn't dare offend him.

"Hey, Elder Tang, go out and get some buns or something for breakfast, and we'll eat before heading out." Lin Hai casually waved his hand.

Situ Mingyue was already thoroughly shocked.

"Whoa! If Old Professor Tang doesn't get furious, I'll eat my shoe and die." She covered her eyes, fearful of witnessing an impending horrific scene.

"Ah? Mr. Lin hasn't had breakfast yet? My bad, I totally forgot; please wait, I'll go get breakfast right away."

Old Professor Tang quickly turned around, his tone full of remorse.

"This..."

Situ Mingyue's mouth was wide enough to fit several large buns, utterly stunned.

As Old Professor Tang stepped out the door, Situ Mingyue, prepared to eat her shoe, immediately grabbed Lin Hai, asking curiously, "Migrant Lin, why is Old Professor Tang so courteous to you?"

Lin Hai blinked: "Because he's a professor, high-quality, moral standards high."

"Rubbish." Situ Mingyue didn't believe one bit.

"Why don't you pull one for me to see? If you get hurt, at most, it's a minor injury, enough for criminal detention."

"You…" Situ Mingyue rolled her eyes intensely, gritted her teeth, thinking who'd be crazy enough to pull... ugh, even the thought feels so dirty.

Taking a deep breath, calming her inner curiosity that scratched like a cat, Mingyue asked again, "Really, why is Old Professor Tang courteous to you? Logically, he hates uneducated people the most."

Lin Hai rolled his eyes: "Someone like me, extremely skilled in both English and Japanese, my education level is top-notch."

"Cut it out, last time you told me some Japanese, I asked the new teacher at school, and he furiously said it was nonsense; I haven't confronted you about that yet."

"Eh? You… you really went and asked?"

Lin Hai vaguely remembered he had recited phrases from action-romance films last time.

The little girl actually went and asked?!

"Is your teacher male or female?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

"Humph, female, she's our principal's sister; we all call her Teacher Ning."

"This..."

Lin Hai sighed, no longer capable of making comments, what a small world.

"Did you mention that this Japanese was taught by me?" Lin Hai asked nervously.

Situ Mingyue snorted: "Teacher Ning kicked me out of the office at the time, saying I was uneducated."

"Plus, would I dare claim Japanese was taught by a migrant level person?" Situ Mingyue snorted, clearly looking down on certain Lin's education level.

Xue Meigui had returned without anyone noticing.

This woman mysteriously went out at 4:30 every morning, claiming she was exercising whenever asked.

However, Lin Hai keenly noticed every time Xue Meigui returned, her aura was heavy, with chaotic energy.

Nonetheless, everyone has secrets, Lin Hai was too lazy to ask, after all, this woman besides being cold, was at least always loyally protecting Mengru.

"Why did Old Professor Tang come to see you?" Xue Meigui asked directly.

"Uh, because of my good character," Lin Hai answered honestly.

"I don't believe it, tell the truth."

"Uh… alright, I just happen to know some rural remedies, Old Professor Tang is a Chinese medicine fan, so… he's fascinated by me."

Lin Hai cleverly answered.

"You even know medical skills?"

Xue Meigui seemed surprised.

Lin Hai nodded: "Of course, I know medical skills, I'm dubbed the all-around little prince."

"What a pity." Xue Meigui shook her head.

"Pity what?" Lin Hai wondered, blinking, this woman's words, like her personality, always seemed mysteriously intriguing.

"If you could spruce up your appearance, pay attention to your attire, perhaps you could find a way to join the upper ranks of society instead of being a migrant worker like now; I've seen your cooking skills, and Old Professor Tang's keen eye for any medical skills you might have shouldn't be too far off." Xue Meigui calmly analyzed.

This woman is somewhat insightful, at least knowing quality.

Lin Hai grinned, stroking his stubble: "This sexy stubble, I don't know how many thousands of girls have been charmed to death by it, do you know what's the highest level of girl-chasing?"

"With your level, I assume you'll tell me the highest level of girl-chasing is throwing money around?" Situ Mingyue clearly didn't favor certain Lin.

"Wrong! The highest level of girl-chasing is being—chased—by—a—girl!" Lin Hai replied emphatically.

"Do you think with your image, you'd actually get chased by women?"

"Besides, does your migrant worker nerd identity match high-class women?" Xue Meigui shook her head, striking him down.

Lin Hai wasn't happy, countered: "Hey beauty, have you ever heard this saying? A one-dollar lighter can still light up a ten-thousand-dollar cigarette."

Situ Mingyue rolled her eyes multiple times, this logic… weirdly makes sense.
