The Cool Professor Deals the Cards Online

Qiao Yuan has severe time-related compulsions. He strictly schedules and controls every minute, and marriage is no exception.

Before the wedding, Qiao Yuan and Ji Xianyu signed a marital code of conduct.

Marital Code of Conduct:

1. No cheating during the marriage.

2. If you wish to engage in intimate marital contact, please submit an application at least one day in advance.

3. Follow the approved application to the letter. Do not exceed the allotted time.

Smitten by Qiao Yuan's looks, Ji Xianyu signed without a second thought, completely off guard.

After the wedding:

Ji Xianyu: "Darling, give me a kiss."

Professor Qiao: "Sorry, it's not on the application."

Ji Xianyu: "ノ(°_°ノ)"

Ji Xianyu: "Honey, I want more..."

Professor Qiao: "Sorry, your time is up."

Ji Xianyu: "Σ(っ °Д °;)っ"

Ji Xianyu: "Honey, "

Professor Qiao: "Please submit an application first."

Ji Xianyu: "..."

Is it too late to back out now?

Professor Qiao's blind date was perfect in every way: impeccable family background and looks, sweet and obedient, an ideal partner. He was simply too young, with room to improve his knowledge and learning ability.

So, as his husband, Professor Qiao took on his responsibilities and patiently taught him how to write a thesis, how to format an application, and...

On their wedding night, Ji Xianyu's eyes were red and he didn't know what to do. "What do I do? I don't know how..."

Professor Qiao sighed. "Don't cry. I'll teach you."

And he taught him how to have a harmonious married life, step by step.

But it seemed... he might have taught him a little too well?

Qiao Yuan is the youngest professor at H University. With multiple top-tier SIC papers to his name, he has both looks and talent and is widely regarded as an untouchable beauty.

There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who like Professor Qiao and those who have never met him. Countless people fall for him, yet no one dares criticize him.

Finally, at the age of twenty-seven, the cold and distant Professor Qiao publicly announced that he was looking for a husband. No, a blind date.

His admirers came rushing in, but every last one of them went home empty-handed. To everyone's astonishment, the one who won Professor Qiao's favor was a scruffy punk with parrot-colored hair!

Where's the justice in that?!

Meanwhile, the punk everyone envied was racking his brains over his applications, suffering in silence.

Ding!

[Your application for intimate marital activities tomorrow at 3 p.m. has been rejected.]

[Reason for rejection: Two hours isn't enough for you.]

How is that my fault?!

The punk looked ready to cry before he could even speak: You have no idea how hard my life is!!!

(Also, I'm a rocker, not a punk!)
