Chapter 30: The Charming Big Sister (Double Monthly Tickets at Month’s End!)
Huh?
After hearing Jiang Wan’s words, Lin Shen was somewhat confused.
You’re saying that in this huge campus, I ran into a senior I haven’t seen for three years, and she’s even in charge of the English major that Gu Wanqing got accepted into?
This series of perfectly timed coincidences made Lin Shen start to wonder if all of this had been arranged.
“Really?”
Gu Wanqing’s bright, lively eyes widened as she looked Jiang Wan over curiously before politely greeting her.
“Hello, counselor!”
This girl really knows what she’s doing!
Lin Shen silently complained to himself, while Gu Wanqing’s well-behaved attitude made Jiang Wan beam with joy.
“Hello. Since you’re here to tour the campus, let me be your guide.”
“Is that convenient?”
Lin Shen considered for a moment.
“It’s Monday today, you should have work to keep you busy, right?”
“A counselor’s work only gets busy after the semester starts,” Jiang Wan explained.
“We’re technically teachers too, and it’s summer vacation right now, so there isn’t much to do.”
“That’s good then.”
With a counselor from the school to guide them around SISU, Lin Shen wouldn’t have to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
So, under Jiang Wan’s guidance, the three of them set off from the west gate and began touring the campus from west to east.
Gymnasium → Student Activity Center → Lawn.
Campus scenery generally has characteristics unique to each school, and SISU had a European-style campus that connected with international standards.
Gu Wanqing was quite amazed by this.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps between leaves, casting dappled shadows on the path. Walking through it felt as if one’s soul was being deeply cleansed, becoming more pure and serene.
For Lin Shen, who had always disliked fast-paced living, this was absolutely perfect.
“Just maintaining this lawn costs quite a bit every year,” Jiang Wan said as they walked across the stone path through the lawn.
“I remember a film crew once borrowed the lawn to shoot a campus idol drama, and they even invited me to make a cameo.”
“That proves Senior Jiang Wan has charm.”
Lin Shen’s casual compliment made Jiang Wan cover her mouth and giggle.
“Lin Shen, I remember you being quite honest and reserved three years ago. How did you become so good with words?”
“People always change.”
Lin Shen sighed, holding the back of his head.
“After entering society, even if you can’t speak well, you’ll learn to speak well.”
“That’s exactly why I chose to work at a school.”
Jiang Wan deeply resonated with this.
“Although it’s not entirely smooth sailing, at least there isn’t as much scheming among colleagues.”
“It’s all laid out on the table and discussed openly, right?”
Lin Shen and Jiang Wan exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. Their intimate and familiar conversation made Gu Wanqing, walking beside them, look somewhat downcast.
It wasn’t because she was being left out, but for a more peculiar reason.
So peculiar that Gu Wanqing was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
“So Senior Jiang Wan, was going to Sheshan to take photos because of a hobby?”
“Part-time work.”
Jiang Wan blinked, adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her usually mature and steady demeanor.
“My TikTok followers have surpassed one million, you know.”
Huh?
Seeing both Lin Shen and Gu Wanqing show surprised expressions simultaneously, Jiang Wan smiled proudly, then opened her phone to show them her TikTok backend.
[Shuiyan Wei]
[7.688 million likes; 87 following; 1.06 million followers]
[Just a small university counselor, thank you all for your love and attention!]
[Available for traditional Chinese culture/anime events, product placement/scenic area collaborations, contact me on Star Map]
“Amazing!”
Lin Shen hadn’t expected Jiang Wan to have this kind of identity.
But looking at her figure, it would truly be against heaven’s will if she wasn’t popular.
Whether it was traditional Chinese culture or anime cosplay, she was exceptionally dedicated in her videos, achieving what could be called perfect restoration.
“Just lucky.”
Jiang Wan said modestly.
“I happen to really like traditional Chinese culture, and if I can make money from it, that’s even better.”
“As expected of Senior Jiang Wan.”
Lin Shen suddenly noticed Jiang Wan’s username.
“Does this ‘Shuiyan Wei’ have any special meaning?”
“The moon is cold, flower dew heavy; the river evening, water smoke faint.”
Gu Wanqing suddenly spoke up.
“This is from a poem called ‘River Journey’ by the Tang Dynasty poet Jiang Wei. Sister Jiang Wan probably used a homophone, right?”
“You actually know this poem.”
Jiang Wan looked at Gu Wanqing in surprise.
After all, Jiang Wei wasn’t a particularly famous poet, and the number of people who knew him could be counted on one’s fingers.
But right now, there was one standing before her.
“I memorized this poem in high school.”
Gu Wanqing stuck out her tongue, and her cute appearance made Jiang Wan unable to resist patting her head, her eyes full of admiration and affection.
“We should exchange thoughts sometime.”
“Sure!”
Under Jiang Wan’s initiative, Gu Wanqing added her on WeChat, and their relationship gradually became familiar from the initial strangeness.
Lin Shen was happy to see this harmonious scene.
After touring the lawn in the morning, at Jiang Wan’s invitation, the three went to the cafeteria to try SISU’s lunch.
It wasn’t particularly delicious, but at least it was affordable and economical.
Sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, Lin Shen felt as if he had instantly returned to his university days, beginning to reminisce about the past with Jiang Wan.
“You were quite an ordinary guy back then, I didn’t expect you to become so handsome now.”
Jiang Wan looked Lin Shen over, then half-jokingly said.
“Are you planning to debut as a male celebrity?”
“Senior Jiang Wan, please don’t tease me.”
Lin Shen smiled awkwardly, and his consistently polite and courteous way of addressing her prompted Jiang Wan to teasingly remind him.
“Still calling me ‘senior’? Being so distant makes me feel sad.”
“Sorry! I’ll just call you Jiang Wan from now on.”
“That’s more like it.”
Jiang Wan propped her face on her right hand and smiled sweetly.
“Then should I call you… Lin Shen little brother~?”
Hiss!
Jiang Wan’s gentle and soft tone made Lin Shen involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air, his heart inexplicably itching.
Especially her smile was particularly infectious, and combined with that overwhelming… presence, it was hard not to be captivated!
“Just kidding.”
Seeing Lin Shen looking a bit restrained, Jiang Wan laughed and changed the subject.
After lunch, the three continued touring the campus in the afternoon.
This time they mainly visited the Library and Information Center, Student Activity Center, and teaching buildings.
Gu Wanqing was curious about everything, asking Jiang Wan various questions while seeking advice on how she should study during summer vacation.
The answer she received was quite unexpected.
Play!
“Wanqing little sister, your only task right now is to play, to enjoy life, to broaden your horizons.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Wan’s suggestion made Gu Wanqing thoughtful, and she nodded as if she understood but didn’t quite understand.
Meanwhile, Lin Shen opened his phone and clicked on the completed task in the [Low Virtue] APP.

“Open!”
Lin Shen quickly swiped his thumb across the phone screen—this was what he looked forward to most each day.
