Liang Chen, of course, would not simply let it go. It was as if he wanted to seek revenge for the trouble he had just been entangled in. He grabbed Shiyi Xing's hand and forcefully pulled him out.

Having been to this place before, Shi Yi Xing naturally knew the situation inside. It wasn't chaotic here; many nearby students loved to come here to spend money. He could only reluctantly agree and was dragged inside.

After they went in, they found a quieter spot. At this hour, there weren't many customers, so there wasn't much disturbance.

Liang Chen poured a glass of "Golden Toddy" for Shi Yixing and picked up his own vodka to drink. "Teacher, please start lecturing."

The liquid in the cup swayed, its pure transparency reflecting a shifting hue of red and occasional shades of green under the colored lights. The dazzling halo of colors flickered like a lost or mesmerized spirit.

He took a sip of wine, moistening his throat, and pursed his lips for a moment. He then reached up to touch his hair, which had been blown out of place by the wind. Finally, he recovered from the excitement he had just experienced.

Liang Chen suddenly found his smacking motion inexplicably adorable.

I don't mean to lecture you or anything, I just want to understand... your situation with Xiang Nan. There are rumors flying around on the school forum, all sorts of things people are saying. I just don't know what the truth is. If you can be honest with me, I will explain the situation to Director Liang and let him handle it from there.

"Why didn't he come and ask me himself?" Liang Chen didn't think that the purpose was that simple.

In the dim eyes under the frame of glasses, there was a lifeless glimmer. He honestly confessed, "I have studied some psychology... of course, just some basic knowledge. The director wanted me to 'straighten out' your thoughts. It just so happens that I am around the same age as you, only a few years older, so there shouldn't be much generation gap... I think he is just anxious and confused."

He helplessly pushed his glasses. He had experienced advising people to break up or reconcile, but when it came to persuading someone to change their sexual orientation, he truly couldn't do it. His skills were still shallow.

After getting the wine, Liang Chen reached for a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff while playfully saying, "Is my uncle trying to make me fall in love with a handsome guy that's rarely seen among the college lecturers, or what?"

The smoke floated upwards, some of it directly towards Shi Yi Xing, choking him and causing him to hurriedly wave it away.

Not to mention, Liang Chen had a rather handsome posture while smoking, shedding his naive puppy-like appearance and gradually becoming a sharp and fierce wolf. In the dim light of the bar, an indiscernible sadness seemed to hang around him. He discreetly averted his gaze.

Liáng Chén continued speaking to himself.

I and Xiang Nan were in the same freshman class, and it was love at first sight. We started dating shortly after we met, but it was a secret relationship. For a whole year, no one in our class found out." He paused and took a sip of his drink.

"We agreed to join the military together, but when we reached our second year of college, I went and he didn't get selected due to failing the physical examination. After I completed my military service and returned, I was in my second year while he was in his fourth year. He had already found a new partner, and there had even been more than one during that time, as his current partner later told me."

I just came back and got angry, so I beat up his companions. There were about five or six people, all of them were useless playthings with money and power. The things that happened afterwards should be posted online, just a section of black material where we smeared each other. The truth and falsehoods should be visible to those with discerning eyes.

Shi Yi Xing nodded. "Who leaked Xiang Nan's nude photos?"

Liang Chen sneered. "His unknown ex, huh. Damn! I was blind too, didn't see through this slutty and shameless face of hers. Just thinking about her having relationships with three different men at the same time makes me sick."

"Pah!" Liang Chen spat out a mouthful of saliva in disgust.
