Zhou Hengguang stood out within his Hengyang family — different from the robust, honourable men of Hengyang, renowned for unwavering principles and exceptional abilities. Beside him stood Feng Yanze, introduced by Ji Fang during their journey, his distinct peculiarity marking him as an unmistakable deviant.
Feng Yanze wasn’t an ordinary deviant; his expertise delved into criminal psychology, understanding mental illnesses, and dissecting forensic corpses. The saying ‘birds of a feather flock together’ held, particularly in Hengguang’s peculiar friendship.
“Sister-in-law, this way,” Zhou Hengguang warmly beckoned Su Wen upon her arrival, displaying a stark contrast to his earlier demeanour. Feng Yanze, observant and curious, raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
“Sorry, am I late?” Su Wen inquired with a polite smile, exuding a sister-in-law charm.
“No, not at all,” Zhou Hengguang rea.s.sured, suppressing any inclination to complain. He refrained from personally picking her up to avoid recognition by Su Qing or Su Xiu. Before Su Qing fell in love with him, Zhou Hengguang was cautious about drawing attention.
Taking charge, Zhou Hengguang introduced Feng Yanze to Su Wen, sensing a slight frostiness between them. Eager to defuse tension, he said, “Sister-in-law, Yan Ze is incredibly capable. He’s the youngest a.s.sociate professor at Capital University’s medical school.”
Despite Su Wen’s initial impressions, she couldn’t help but admire Feng Yanze’s achievements. She followed suit, praising Zhou Hengguang. Despite being younger, she embraced the t.i.tle of sister-in-law, aligning her status with theirs.
As Zhou Hengguang observed the dynamic, he stepped into the role of an atmosphere-adjusting mediator for the first time. Now seeing them as younger brothers, Su Wen felt a newfound ease and warmth.
Feng Yanze subtly pinched Zhou Hengguang, and concealed any reaction, maintaining composure. He shared a surprising revelation about Su Wen’s sister, Su Jun, in the Mathematics Department, adding an unexpected connection to their shared university background. Despite Su Jun’s low-key nature, her brilliance left an indelible mark on Capital University.
Zhou Hengguang, taken aback by Feng Yanze’s knowledge, humorously questioned him about this seemingly unrelated detail. In his world, no one was irrelevant; impressive individuals, even without a direct connection, were not overlooked.
Understanding his best friend well, Zhou Hengguang casually inquired, expecting a nonchalant response. However, to his surprise, Feng Yanze earnestly nodded.
“I know her.”
Zhou Hengguang was stunned.
Back in university, numerous girls silently courted him for three years without him ever knowing who they were—
The person who gave them to him might have been too discreet, making it impossible to remember.
But he should remember his desk partner, right?
He had never bothered to pay attention.
“How did you find out?” Zhou Hengguang asked curiously. “Even though the medical department is close to the mathematics department, you don’t share any similar specialities.”
Feng Yanze, with a cold glance, remained reticent, uninterested in elaborating on the intricate network of university relationships..
