Chasing Gao Jun away, Su Yuan quietly sat in her seat, deep in thought about how she had handled the incident just now. From the bottom of her heart, she disliked people like Xiao Yiyang who used others as a shield to deceive, but in reality, she had done the same thing despite her dislike.
Although she tried to comfort herself, since she had done something similar to what Xiao Yiyang did, Su Yuan still felt very annoyed.
She secretly glanced at Ji Ye Hao, feeling that he seemed completely unaffected.
...
"Su Yuan, how has your life been in the male dormitory these past few days?" In the office of Teacher Qin, Su Yuan was helping the class advisor grade the assignments of the junior students. When she heard Teacher Qin's question, she was slightly taken aback.
She had been summoned to the office by a phone call from Teacher Qin, originally thinking it was just to grade assignments. Now, hearing Teacher Qin's question, she realized there was more to it than that.
She put down her pen and nodded, "It's okay."
"Maybe you should move out..." Teacher Qin said with concern. Who knows what might happen with a girl living in a male dormitory? Even if both genders restrained themselves, there would still be many inconveniences in daily life.
Su Yuan pursed her lips.
Teacher Qin continued, "If you're willing to move out, I can help you find a bed in a female dormitory..."
Although Teacher Qin knew that Su Yuan's psychology was not entirely that of a girl and she had many male traits, living in a female dormitory was still less inappropriate in a certain sense. But between two evils, choose the lesser one. What could happen among a few girls? It would be much safer than a girl living in a male dormitory!
"Teacher Qin, can I think about it for a few more days?"
Teacher Qin did not force her and smiled, "Of course, the decision is entirely yours. However, there is one thing I need to remind you. You may have noticed that your body shape has changed a lot recently, and the effects of the medication are becoming apparent. If you continue to live in the male dormitory, you might be recognized."
"…There's only a week left until the long holiday for the Mid-Autumn and National Day. I need your answer before then, and you must move out of the male dormitory after the holiday, okay?"
Su Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The library of Binhe University of Technology was a very modern building, a twelve-story high-rise with a graceful and clean white design. Set against the greenery of the campus, it looked like a graceful lady surrounded by greenery from a distance.
Together with the vast artificial lake not far away, one to the east and one to the west, they resembled the two points of a yin-yang fish, adding a cultural charm to the entire campus environment.
The library had a modern style, while the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake was a two-story octagonal pavilion with white walls and blue tiles. The pavilion, with its flying eaves and pillars, was decorated with yellow curtains, giving it an ancient and elegant appearance. The red pillars were thick and sturdy, and under the bright sunlight, the entire pavilion and the clear ripples of the water complemented each other, making it particularly eye-catching.
It was another afternoon, and Su Yuan, holding her textbooks, climbed the steps leading to the library one by one.
It had been more than two weeks since the transformation, and during this time, Su Yuan had no choice but to adapt. Humans are truly strange creatures. After developing intelligence, they consciously distinguished themselves from animals. The ability of humans to adapt to and modify their environment is something other animals cannot surpass.
Some say the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans know when to rest but never feel satisfied, while animals feel satisfied but never rest. Others suggest replacing "rest" with "shame," which changes the meaning significantly. The former suggests that humans are inferior to animals, while the latter suggests that even with a sense of shame, humans often do not know when to be satisfied.
Regardless of which interpretation, it seems to be describing the inherent flaws of humans.
Su Yuan was a person who knew when to be satisfied. One thing that was confirmed was that she had a strong ability to endure. She had quietly endured such a drastic change. What else could she not face?
Others did not know what had happened to her, and she would not go around telling everyone. So, while protecting her secret, Su Yuan's daily routine did not change much.
If there was any change, it was that Student Su had become more studious. It seemed that being the deputy minister of the External Relations Department had given her a strong sense of upward motivation, and she often went to the library.
Another change was that Student Su had become more graceful. Although she did not feel much more graceful than before, and perhaps there was no real change, others seemed to unanimously think that she had suddenly become more graceful.
What does it mean to have a cultivated demeanor? This was probably a change in her aura.
The aftermath of Peng Jie's confession last Saturday was still ongoing, causing her great annoyance. Sometimes she felt there were too many boring people in the world. The rumors about her and Xiao Yiyang had not completely subsided, and now the rumors about Peng Jie were spreading even more.
Fortunately, there were not many onlookers at the time, and Peng Jie's pursuit of girls was not news. The day he stopped pursuing girls would be the news. No one noticed that the girl he was pursuing was actually a "boy."
Perhaps because of Su Yuan's decisive reaction, Peng Jie had not come to find her these past few days. She wondered where he was, practicing his seduction techniques.
It was clear that he was not the type to give up easily.
Although Peng Jie had not appeared, Su Yuan still felt that the incident had left a strong aftereffect. Perhaps in Ji Ye Hao's and Gao Jun's eyes, she had already deviated from her original "track" and was becoming abnormal.
Adding to this, Teacher Qin had asked her to consider moving out, whether to rent a place off-campus or move to a female dormitory. She had not decided yet. Thinking about this made her feel very frustrated, so she tried to distract herself by finding some books to read.
The library was built on a large platform, and to enter the first floor, one had to climb several dozen steps.
On the tenth floor, in the reading room.
The spacious reading room was neatly arranged with tables and chairs, and the bookshelves on one side held reference books.
Holding "Human Physiology," she found a seat by the window. The lighting was excellent here, and she could see a large part of the campus by looking out slightly. She gently moved the chair, sat down, and opened the book to read.
She read for a long time, completely engrossed and forgetting her troubles. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over, and a girl in a white shirt sat down opposite her.
"Can I sit here?" It was a very pleasant voice.
She vaguely sensed that the girl had a very curvaceous figure and was likely a beauty.
Su Yuan lifted her head and saw that there were still many empty seats on the entire tenth floor. But since the beauty wanted to sit opposite her, she had no reason to drive her away. She thought it would be quite enjoyable to sit next to a beauty, so she smiled at her.
Lan Qiuzhu's mood was very bad today. In the recently concluded club recruitment, the anime club she led had recruited very few new members. Out of thousands of new students, they had only recruited a little over a hundred new members.
There were dozens or even hundreds of student clubs at Binhe University of Technology. To recruit over a hundred members was not a bad result; in fact, it was quite good.
But Lan Qiuzhu was still unhappy. The main reason was that the number of cute girls recruited this time was very few! Although they had recruited about twenty female members, only a handful had the potential to become pillars of the club. The rest were all boys!
The anime club was a medium-sized group in the university's club system, with a total of about two hundred members. Among them, there were about forty core members who could perform on stage, roughly half of whom were male and half female.
As the new club president, Lan Qiuzhu was a third-year student who had just taken over from the previous president. She naturally hoped to make a difference.
This time, the recruitment was done in a broad manner, similar to other clubs. She was very clear that most of the over a hundred people who had applied were attracted by the girls in the club. This was something Lan Qiuzhu could not tolerate.
She decided to strictly screen the applicants and eliminate those who were just there to take advantage. Even if only half remained, it would be worth it.
But what really troubled her were the core members. Although there were a few new members with potential, their natural qualities seemed to have declined compared to previous years...
A group cannot be sustained by just a few people, and Lan Qiuzhu was worried about this!
Today, Lan Qiuzhu came to the library to calm down and think about the club's future development plan. She also hoped to find some potential members. She knew that Binhe University of Technology had rich resources, and it was just a matter of how to tap into them.
Many intellectually beautiful girls were not interested in anime, so it was unrealistic to expect them to join the anime club voluntarily. Where did the well-behaved girls like to hang out?
The library!!
Lan Qiuzhu had a grand vision. She was like a talent scout, looking for her own targets. Whether male or female, anyone she set her sights on would not escape her grasp.
