Chapter 142: Huo Yichen’s Confession in Cla.s.s
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were a lot of people downstairs. When they saw Murong Qiao appear from the window, their voices instantly became much louder, too
Yang Xin went to the toilet and heard the people in the corridor talking. Only then did she know that these students were all Xian Yu’s fans. When they found out that Murong Qiao was Xian Yu’s sister, they decided to come over early in the morning to ask for an autograph.
“All of them are here to ask for autographs?” Yang Xin clicked her tongue.
Although she was also a fan of Xian Yu, she had never seen such a big scene.
“Cla.s.s is starting soon,” Murong Qiao reminded casually.
On the first day of school, she did not want to be remembered by the teachers for her absence.
Time was tight. Fortunately, there was more than one path to the dormitory building. Therefore, the few of them changed to a less crowded path and arrived at the lecture hall.
As soon as they entered the lecture hall, they saw that many people were already there. They looked at the time and saw that cla.s.s was starting in five minutes. Hence, the four of them quickly found a seat and sat down.
This cla.s.s was the basic cla.s.s of the Department of Economics and Management. Murong Qiao found the corresponding book and placed it on the table. When she opened it, she realized that someone was sitting beside her.
The entire lecture theater suddenly fell silent. Murong Qiao immediately had a bad feeling and slowly raised her head to look beside her.
Huo Yichen sat beside her.
Before Murong Qiao could ask why he was here, the professor walked up to the podium from the door.
She could only shut her mouth and focus on the podium, planning to focus on cla.s.s first.
Unfortunately, Murong Qiao wanted to focus on the lesson, but the others were still looking at the two of them. The professor looked at the strange scene in front of him and shifted his interested gaze to Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen.
“This student, you’re not from the Department of Economics and Management, right?” The professor glanced at Huo Yichen and recognized that he was not a student of this cla.s.s.
Huo Yichen, who was pointed out, nodded calmly and admitted it. He moved his eyes away from Murong Qiao and looked at the professor standing on the stage.
Seeing the professor’s gaze fall on her, Murong Qiao’s body stiffened and her heart began to beat faster.
She didn’t want to attract attention, but Huo Yichen sitting beside her obviously made Murong Qiao’s wish impossible. Murong Qiao frowned and stared at the textbook. The professor’s gaze made her subconsciously lower her head to avoid eye contact.
Murong Qiao didn’t expect Huo Yichen to appear here. Seeing him chatting with the professor, she was even more afraid that he would suddenly say something shocking.
“I admire you very much, Professor Wen, so I came to listen to your cla.s.s humbly.” Huo Yichen said seriously, as if that was really the case, and he hadn’t been staring at Murong Qiao just now.
Professor Wen, whose surname was revealed, smiled slightly. He was not angry when he heard Huo Yichen say it so nicely.
However, he had taught many students over the years, so how could he not see through Huo Yichen’s thoughts? Moreover, Huo Yichen had never looked at him since he came in. Instead, he had been looking at the girl beside him.
He could tell at a glance whether Huo Yichen truly admired him or not.
“Are you here to accompany your girlfriend?” Professor Wen happily placed the book on the podium and asked with a kind expression.
Following his words, the students’ gossipy gazes fell on Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
The discussion forum had yet to come to a conclusion about yesterday’s meal and yet today, everyone saw the two parties involved sitting together again. If not for the fact that they were in cla.s.s, the gossip would be even more intense than the forum.
Seeing that Professor Wen had asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, everyone looked at Huo Yichen eagerly, wanting to know how he would answer.
“No.” Huo Yichen shook his head and gave an answer. “I’m here to accompany the girl I love. Unfortunately, I haven’t succeeded in wooing her yet.”
In just two sentences, it brought everyone’s mood on a roller coaster.
His expression was as calm as usual, as if he was talking about what he had eaten today. However, the meaning behind his words was like a thunderclap, making everyone’s minds go blank.
Of course, that included Murong Qiao, who was sitting beside him.
She buried her head in the book, trying to isolate herself from the burning gazes of the outside world.
Hearing Huo Yichen say that he was accompanying the girl he loves, Murong Qiao felt the temperature on her face rise suddenly, as hot as a volcano erupting.
What kind of joke was this?!
He likes me?!
Murong Qiao almost thought that she was dreaming. It was unbelievable.
It didn’t sound like something Huo Yichen would say. Moreover, he actually said that she was the girl he loves and hadn’t gotten yet…
The thoughts in her mind were racing like wild horses that had run out of control. Murong Qiao couldn’t stop them at all. The heat on her face seemed to have become even hotter, and she felt a little dizzy.
Huo Yichen’s words were like a bomb that landed in the water and created a crater. As for the students around him who heard him, they were all fish that had been blown ash.o.r.e.
Suddenly, they were stuffed with dog food.
Thank you, I choked.
When Professor Wen saw Huo Yichen’s open and honest att.i.tude, he felt that this young man was not bad.
“Then you have to work hard. Student Murong is this year’s top scorer in the college entrance examination. She’s very impressive.” Professor Wen was afraid that the scene would not be exciting enough, so he smiled and added fuel to the fire.
In any case, they were already in university. It was common for them to fall in love at this age. When he saw a group of energetic young people, as a professor, he was happy to give his blessings.
Professor Wen’s voice was not soft. Moreover, although Murong Qiao’s brain had stopped working, her ears were still catching information from the outside world.
As soon as she heard Professor Wen adding fuel to the fire, Murong Qiao panicked even more. She wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
Why isn’t cla.s.s starting yet!
“I will.” Huo Yichen nodded.
He agreed with a serious expression. Then, he really sat obediently beside Murong Qiao and began to listen to Professor Wen’s lecture seriously.
When it came to studying in cla.s.s, many people also looked away and turned their attention to Professor Wen, seriously working hard for their future.
Murong Qiao slowly raised her head and stole a glance at Huo Yichen beside her. When she realized that the other party was really listening attentively, she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief and look at the podium.
She had to focus on the lesson.
She warned herself in her heart.
The lesson pa.s.sed very quickly.
As Professor Wen left, the originally quiet cla.s.sroom instantly exploded.
Everyone was discussing what Huo Yunshen meant.
“What else could it mean? He must have taken a fancy to her!”
“It’s so obvious. Can’t you tell that our school hunk is wooing Murong Qiao?”
It was not just the cla.s.sroom. While they were listening to the cla.s.s, some students had already started gossiping and posted this matter on the forum. There were even videos as evidence.
Before the popularity of the previous post had decreased, another post was uploaded. Everyone who visited the forum saw this matter.
This time, the matter between the two of them was at the center of the storm.
However, the protagonist of the matter did not pay attention to this matter. Murong Qiao had already slipped out of the cla.s.sroom as soon as the cla.s.s ended.
Without thinking, Murong Qiao knew that the forum would be filled with her and Huo Yichen’s affairs, but Murong Qiao’s attention was not on that now.
She had to go out.
“Alright, I’ll hang up first.”
Murong Qiao hung up the call with Murong Chen and stood at the entrance of the Hui University to hail a taxi.
“Sir, I’m going to Riverside Block A..”
