When he woke up a to the scent of his own vomit assaulting his nose, he was somewhat unsurprised. He was sure that if his er-ge or da-ge found him like this last night they'd have laughed until they could rival that of a hyena, however, his degenerating health was no laughing matter. He let a groan escape from his lips, his head was killing him - well not literally, he thought choking on a meat bun while completely obliterating the comment section on the worst stallion novel he'd ever read had killed him. When he woke up it just felt like he had a really long dream. A distant past. Of course it was only yesterday. Well, it would've made a great story to his family if he had ended up dying so unjustly, he could practically hear their banter, "I know he was a rich otaku who probably would've died cooped up in his room, but he literally read - and paid for early access to - a novel he hated just so he could dis it and died choking on a meat bun! A meat bun!!!" But hey! It wasn't his fault he was rich! It's just that he gets more support from their wealthy parents due his illnesses and his -self proclaimed- extremely high IQ! (Hey favouritism only sucks when you're not the favourite, he's well aware of his position and doesn't hate it.)

Although he suffocated in his own vomit, Shen Yuan had a revelation. He finally knew what to do with his life! He, like quite a few of his peers, Graduated early. And not just "oh I was born at the start of the year," kind of early, no he was so smart that he ended up skipping two years of school. More time procrastinating for him though, he had zero complaints. But he never knew what he wanted to do, he certainly didn't want to have read so many trashy internet novels that he ended up dying criticising the worst one he's read yet! No. Something in him had lit up -not including his amino acids and gag reflex from the putrid stench he was desperately trying to get off his laptop keys- he wanted to be a history teacher.

Cleaning up his absolute mess of room and showering, he was glad that his family was on a business trip and he asked to stay behind. It might be embarrassing for some adults (he's 18 here, but he's pretending to be more mature...) but he didn't care that he was still living with his family! Well... it did get annoying when they'd be way too overprotective of him due to his heart disease, but it could be worse! He's still here kicking Mother Nature up her entitled ass when everyone said he should be dead by now. You've gotta do a little bit more than that to get rid him! And now that he's found his purpose it'll be even harder to rip him out of the mortal world.
"Haha take that Mother Nature! I hope I kicked your ass so hard that my big toe is your new anal bead!"
While his innermost self was rejoicing at his somewhat disturbing thoughts, he'd already grabbed his phone and started searching up Universities and apartments around that area. The blue tinge of light was fully absorbed by his pupils that read at an alarmingly fast pace, he'd already gotten a plan in place.

There were a few things that the maids in the house noticed, not only had Shen Yuan missed some meals today, he'd been acting strange. First of all, the door to his room was open. The second thing was, he was cleaning. The young master was cleaning. One of them made sure to call an exorcist.
And the third was one of his new obsessions, nitpicking about all of the wives in one of his internet novels to the maids. Usually he'd keep quiet and rant about this online, maybe the novel wasn't only testing his very limited patience, but his sexuality too? Frankly, the maids were confused. Was he trying to get on their good side? If so, why?
Of course if Shen Yuan wanted to leave this house his parents would need proof he wouldn't die as soon as he stepped one foot out of the house! If the maids recognised not only his competence in cleaning things himself, preparing meals himself and socially engaging with them then surely they'd mention it to his parents when it's time to move out!
Though he can't say he's excited to have a schedule similar to the one in high school again, he's excited to finally do something that interests him.

Fuck! On the internet it said 5-9 years to complete the course! He thought he was smart yet when he finished it was average! Average! Smack, bang in the middle! 7 years! Though, now he can finally apply for a job. It's not his fault he's a procrastinator! He even procrastinates procrastinating! Though it's not like he had much else to do other than study hard for his degree... he was only human! People get distracted...
