Imperial University, Academic Affairs Office

Knock, knock, knock—

"Fendoli?" Navis called out, finding no response from the intercom. The electronic screen on the door displayed "Available to Enter," so he pushed the door open without hesitation.

Not here? Navis frowned and called out tentatively, "Fendoli? Are you there?"

No response.

But the electronic screen showed "Available to Enter," meaning someone was inside; otherwise, the door would be locked automatically.

Navis's frown deepened as he muttered, "It can't be that someone fainted in the office... could it?" As he finished speaking, a tickling sensation suddenly appeared around his ankle, a cold touch creeping up.

He looked down in shock to see a hand gripping his pants leg, slowly tightening...

"Fendoli!!! What the hell are you doing???" Navis's face darkened as he lifted his foot and kicked directly at Fendoli's face.

Fendoli nimbly pulled back, bracing himself on the floor, performing a somersault to get up. He drooped his eyelids and lazily said, "Hey, why so fierce? Just playing around..."

"Get lost." Navis rolled his eyes with annoyance, placing the thick stack of documents on the desk. "These are piled-up documents. Deal with them soon. Maria is about to explode, and you've been slacking off, not doing what needs to be done..."

"Ugh, I've been feeling down lately..." Fendoli slumped on the sofa, looking disheartened with a vacant, dazed expression.

Navis sneered, "When have you ever been in the mood for work? Stop whining. If you don't get it done, I'll speak to Principal Davis and have your salary for the next half-year deducted..."

"Heartless... too heartless..." Fendoli clutched his chest. "You're even more exploitative than that demon Yu Qingyan. I've already thought about how to deal with him when he comes to school..."

"Yu Qingyan?" Navis's voice rose as he heard the familiar name, his brows furrowing involuntarily. "Why are you in contact with him?"

"Little Navis, don't be jealous. I still love you the most. Contacting him was unavoidable..."

"Stop the diversion. I'm talking seriously." Navis stepped forward and kicked, looking displeased. "What's going on? Why is he coming to the school? Isn't he already..."

He stopped himself from saying more, as it was too politically sensitive.

"Ugh, Yu Qingyan was once from Imperial University, and as they say, blood is thicker than water. He's still the old principal's protégé; it's impossible for him to cut all ties with the school..."

Fendoli slowly pulled a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a "Bapa" brand black cigarette, and flicked his finger to ignite the tip with a faint scarlet flame.

The orange-blue flames gradually revealed themselves, with white smoke rising and slowly dispersing.

He lazily stretched out, his feet propped up on a low glass coffee table. Amidst the swirling smoke, he muttered indistinctly, "...I wonder what he's here for this time? Tsk, the youngest chairman of the Federation's parliament deigning to come teach at our school, who on earth would believe that?"

"Isn't it just an honorary title?" Nawis said with a serious expression, not bothering to criticize Fendoli's flamboyant manner. "In theory, he might not even have time..."
