Although Dou Dou mentioned in his Weibo that this would be a series, absolutely no one really wanted Qiao Ze to turn this matter into one.

Chen Cheng from East River University felt that everything happening tonight was like composing a mythical tale.
The situation was simple, the news in the group chat was leaked by him. The reason was exactly as everyone had analyzed; he had not been selected for the Jieqing award for the third time this year.
Although he was only 40 this year, and theoretically still had five years to apply for the Jieqing award, those in the situation actually knew very well that if one failed three applications, there was basically no hope afterwards.
Adding to that, hearing about Li Jian Gao nonchalantly donning the Jieqing award upset his mental balance.
Especially after learning that Shuangdan University, dissatisfied with how Qiao Ze’s application had dragged Li Jian Gao into being awarded the Jieqing title in just one try, he harbored different thoughts. He simply steeled his heart, anonymously filed a complaint, and incidentally took some of the acidic comments that professors usually made and had a few influencers from Linhai help spread them.
Even though it cost him some money, Chen Cheng felt it was worth it.
Of course, to say that there was much significance in doing this was debatable, it’s not like failing to get the Jieqing award meant the position would be reserved for him. Explore stories at novelbuddy
But seeing Li Jian Gao falling into a whirl of doubts online merely made Chen Cheng feel relieved.
After all, many times people act just to vent their frustrations, even if it means harming others without benefiting themselves.
Best would be for the side of Xilin to get into a spat with Shuangdan University of Linhai; then he might indeed have a chance.
But what he never expected was for Qiao Ze to suddenly let Dou Dou post so much on Weibo. The moment he saw the contents of those posts and roughly studied what was contained in those pictures, Chen Cheng was utterly dumbfounded.
Is this even something a human can do?
Anyone who’s made it to a professor’s position, of course, wouldn’t be an idiot; he understood very well that at this point, the situation was no longer controllable by him.
However, at this time, he still harbored a sliver of hope.
After all, Qiao Ze could be said to have offended the entire Huaxia mathematical community, not just making all the applicants this year lose face, but also leaving the entire Natural Science Foundation Review Committee no way to step down.
Even if a person is incredibly powerful, offending so many people at once, even if the Xilin University of Technology wanted to protect Qiao Ze, it would likely end up in disgrace.
Chen Cheng even felt a bit of schadenfreude.
With Qiao Ze kicking up such a fuss, it might lead to a reevaluation this year, and he might have a chance.
But he had barely been pleased with this thought for two minutes, when the news that the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton had confirmed that Qiao Ze’s paper solved the existence problem of Yang-Mills equations struck him.
It was truly like a bolt from the blue, the ultimate blow that left Chen Cheng completely stunned!
Just solving a few minor problems might not earn Qiao Ze much tolerance from everyone.
But if it was a nineteen-year-old who had solved a millennium problem, Chen Cheng suddenly felt that it might be him against the whole world...
Suddenly, a phrase unexpectedly surfaced in Chen Cheng’s mind: "Confess and you’ll be treated with leniency, resist and you’ll face strictness..."
...
Within the campus of Xilin University of Technology, Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng were walking on the path home.
After having Dou Dou post the content he had compiled in one day on Weibo, Qiao Ze also concentrated on solving a few mathematical questions for Su Mucheng and then it was time to rest, as per usual.
Although the relationship between the two had gone beyond that of a typical campus couple, in truth, these two still knew restraint.
For instance, today they both still chose to return to the dormitories to rest, rather than going home.
Even though they have rooms at home, and living there would definitely be more comfortable than the dorm, Qiao Ze was a man of his word. Zhang Zhou and Old Gu were both on track to tackle mathematical problems, but were a bit lacking in abilities, accumulating a heap of questions every day, and Qiao Ze, by returning to the dormitory, could help them clear up some doubts.
Anyway, it was just a matter of giving some advice before sleeping, then assuming they understood, without too much effort.
As usual, he walked Su Mucheng to the female dorm first and after saying goodbye, headed straight to room 408. To his surprise, the usually absent trio were all there, even Chen Yiwen.
"Brother Qiao, you’re back?"
As soon as Qiao Ze walked in, he was greeted by Zhang Zhou’s ingratiating voice.
To be honest, it was a bit much, especially calling a classmate you see often by an honorific.
About this issue, Qiao Ze had spoken with Zhang Zhou and Old Gu, but they still carried on like this, and he felt helpless.
"Hmm, everyone’s here today?" Qiao Ze asked.
"Ah, don’t even mention it, Xiu Xiu got her period and is afraid of the cold. So she’s holed up in the dormitory not wanting to go out," Chen Yiwen heaved a sigh and then, with a bit of a shameless grin, joked, "You know, about periods and such, God Qiao, you understand, right?"
Qiao Ze remained silent.
Thankfully, he didn’t need to handle this topic.
"What are you showing off for, dummy? My Brother Qiao also has a girlfriend, and it’s none other than Su Mucheng who pursued him, how could he not understand these things? As for you, nothing but a bootlicker, the shame of room 408. You don’t know, Brother Qiao, just before you came back, Old Chen was cooing on the phone for half an hour and even ran out to buy brown sugar, it’s disgusting!"
"Hey, I can’t be bothered to argue with someone whose girlfriend is his left hand. Wait till you figure out where the girls from the female dorm are heading before you’re qualified to speak to me," Chen Yiwen retorted.
"Heh..."
"Alright, let’s talk about the problems you encountered with your projects today," Qiao Ze interjected before Zhang Zhou could retort, taking the initiative.
If the trio started to bicker, then his evening would be wasted.
While Qiao Ze didn’t mind this kind of relaxed atmosphere in the dorm, it did seem to delay things a bit.
