There was absolute silence in the lecture hall . BaoBei felt that this world was really a motherf.u.c.king fantasy .
There were quite a few reasons for the silence .
Some wondered to themselves, “Did someone’s senior walk to the wrong place?” No matter how you looked at it, he was at the age of either a teaching a.s.sistant or a research student . Didn’t they say the teacher for this cla.s.s was a successful businessman who travelled to the US? He seemed to be in his mid twenties, if he was the rumoured, highly respected and extremely knowledgeable, professor then this was just too unfair!
Some were too confused by his beauty . With a soft face and beautiful body this exquisite high quality man could only be the kind that appeared on TV idol dramas . Had they actually become some tv show’s ma.s.s audience!? Some even turned their heads around, trying to look for the camera .
And there was also some who were just SHOCKED .
Shi XiaoXi and Fang Jie stared at each other . XiaoXi, that dummy, extended her hands and ruthlessly pinched Fang Jie’s cheeks, making Fang Jie cry in pain softly . “Does it hurt?”
“Bulls.h.i.t! Shi XiaoXi,you wanna die?!” The two rapidly entered fighting mode .
“Which guest professor is this?! Too handsome!” JiaHui cupped her cheeks as her breathing became heavy .
“Hey, sis, stop! This is BaoBei’s man . ” Shi XiaoXi said difficulty under Fang Jie’s suppression .
“Huh?” JiaHui was unable to understand for a second .
“It’s the BMW guy!”
“Oh!” JiaHui covered her mouth .
“Big sister JiaHui, these two sounds are a perfect representation of our feelin when we first met Teacher Jiang . ” Shi XiaoXi exaggeratedly spun her forefingers in the air, then soon after pounced towards BaoBei . “BaoBei! Begging to be raised by you!”
“BaoBei! Raise me too! I can warm the bed!”
“BaoBei, I can eat, drink, push and pull!” The sound of everyone lowering their voices could be clearly heard .
BaoBei was still baffled . It wasn’t until the person on stage put down his things and glanced in her direction did she wake up . The cla.s.sroom today was filled with people, it should be a normal thing for him to glance over at this direction, however BaoBei kept feeling that he was looking at her, even at one point in time, their gaze crossed .
“I say, big brother, did you walk into the wrong place?” One of the braver boys asked the question that was in everyone’s heart .
Jiang MoXiu raised his head and looked at that direction, the corner of his lips pulled into a smile . Immediately, the sounds of gasping could be heard .
He turned his body and wrote his name on the blackboard .
“For the next one week, I hope that we can coexist peacefully . ” What a realistic request . “I won’t do roll call, so if you want to skip cla.s.s then suit yourself . However, you have to be able to pa.s.s through my exam . ”
Afterwards, he stopped for a bit and looked at the name list spread out on the table, then raised his head again .
“Or am I in the wrong cla.s.s?”
“Teacher Jiang, please make it easy for us, please pity the children who couldn’t get into your cla.s.s . ” It was that guy again .
Jiang MoXiu smiled again . “Then I only ask for one thing from you guys, that is to not bother the other students in the cla.s.s . ”
“His smile is so captivating!” Shi XiaoXi hooked BaoBei’s arm, flirtatiously flipped her hair and leaned on BaoBei’s shoulder, acting all coy and shy!
Exactly! Smiling twice in one minute! When he was at her brother-in-law’s house for two days, she didn’t even see him smile once, acting like he was some cool guy!
BaoBei pouted her lips while she cursed him in her heart .
At that moment, he just happened to glance at her again .
“This child is acting cute . ” Fang Jie pinched Baobei’s round cheeks .
“Teacher Jiang is using his eyes to tease our BaoBei,” Shi XiaoXi said as she covered up her lips to steal a laugh .
“Enough, you guys . ” It was rare to see BaoBei not retorting them with sharp words . BaoBei opened her notebook, and began getting ready to concentrate in cla.s.s .
“We’re already a bit late, so I won’t be chatting with you guys anymore, I’ll immediately start . ”
The following two cla.s.s period were just as brilliant . The previously stiff and profound law clauses were no longer cryptic and difficult to understand, especially after Jiang MoXiu gave practical cases and explanations as he quoted the chapter and it’s verses .
“Youth is like Mahjong, you either discard a tile and help others to win or, you pick up a new tile from the wall . How many otakus and fujoshis, how many strategies and calculations that were used, it is all so that they may enjoy that one moment of being pushed down . Teacher Jiang is such a high level item with talent and money, BaoBei, I suggest you to firmly push him down!” Shi XiaoXi suggested with good intentions .
“Shi XiaoXi, if one day you ever become a local ruffian or a hoodlum, I will tell others that you were once pure . ” After going through the two cla.s.s period of “rest and recuperation”, BaoBei had already recovered her “fighting power” .
Cla.s.s has ended, however the amount of students who left were few .
“Teacher Jiang, is it okay to leave your phone number?” A few pretty female voices could be heard from the back of the cla.s.sroom .
Everyone went “Whoa” as they simultaneously spun their heads around, trying to see which girl had such bravery . Some boys even blew out a whistle . However, the girl who stood up in the group didn’t feel any stage fright .
BaoBei knew this girl, it was the prettiest girl in school – Su YuTong . With a body height of 176, ever since she entered the school, her beautiful face was something that caused an uproar with the male students . Rumour has it that she was a part time model, always subst.i.tuting at some famous magazine for a beautiful shoot . Her weibo was also filled with celebrity standard pictures and invulnerable selfies . This girl was definitely an influential person .
Sure enough it was someone who was an expert in seduction . It was only the first day of cla.s.s and he has already provoked one of the school’s greatest beauties .
Everyone was waiting for Jiang MoXiu’s reaction .
But Teacher Jiang only tidied up his things with a neither hurried nor slow manner, then faced the students with a smile and turned away to leave the cla.s.sroom .
Afterwards when BaoBei was very, very close with him, BaoBei asked, “That day, when such a hot girl took the initiative to hint that she wanted to throw herself into your arms, how could you still stay so unperturbed?” . The man, Teacher Jiang, replied, “ One day as a teacher is like becoming a father forever . In my heart, she is no different from my daughter . In fact, after the end of cla.s.s, my fate with them had already ended . ” BaoBei cursed Teacher Jiang in her heart as hypocritical, she is also his “daughter” then!
“Teacher Jiang is too cool!”
“Right? Right?”
“Who does she think she is? Hook her finger and the boys will crawl over?!” Most of the girls enjoyed taking part in schadenfreude . Especially when it was Su YuTong who was always in the limelight that most of the girls didn’t really like .
“Yay!”
“Even for a pretty lady, the scope didn’t need to be so high . ”
“What kind of woman hasn’t he seen yet in the US? Who knows, he might have even played with some big celebrities, is this even rare?” Men, some that were enviously emitting a cool aura, and also had a nationalistic tendency could not be accustomed to seeing these gold digger type of girls .
The one who was publicly discussed, Su YuTong, apparently didn’t seem even slightly affected . Head high and chest up, she walked down the flight of steps as she left the cla.s.s .
“BaoBei, a formidable opponent has appeared . ” Shi XiaoXi felt that the atmosphere was very exciting .
“Pssh! This also depends on the guy . If Teacher Jiang is sincere and intent on our BaoBei, Su YuTong is nothing . Merely a big supporting character! It is better if we are to believe this world has good men . ” Fang Jie reasoned .
“Oh! Exacty like Lady Fang’s big brother Jia Jian, huh?” Shi XiaoXi completed, the two started to fight noisily again .
“You guys, please don’t talk nonsense . ” BaoBei stood up and tidied up her things . “We only knew each other when we were younger, now…… . we really have no relationship . ”
It goes without saying! When other’s have already done some ambiguous and unclear things, we cannot immediately start putting ourself as the main character with that person . In BaoBei’s heart, it was more or less very awkward . After teasing her that day and exchanging phone numbers, Teacher Jiang did not call her or send any text . Who knows if the other only thought of her as an amusing little girl?
When they went back to the dorm, BaoBei scrolled through weibo and saw a post, “I hate it the most when you say you like me but you don’t do anything . ” BaoBei felt like she got stabbed to death by this sentence .
During their dorm’s girl talk, BaoBei was holding her iPad as she continued to scroll through weibo .
“BaoBei, BaoBei, did you look at Su YuTong clearly today?” Shi XiaoXi asked with a bit of excitement .
“I always see her on weibo, the boys in our cla.s.s always forward her weibo . ” BaoBei answered her . This girl, her EQ is very high . Especially now that she has absolutely calmed down .
“Pshh! I think not . Could she be so beautiful without makeup and without Photoshop?” Shi XiaoXi was very good in this regard, BaoBei couldn’t help but admire her . When it came to being blunt and direct, being jealous and envious, she was the only one who would dare to express it .
“Then XiaoXi, if you have the ability why don’t you go do makeup and photoshop? Too bad you grew up with a low const.i.tution, even with makeup and photoshop you might not be able to compete with others . ” JiaHui made fun of her .
“I wasn’t talking about myself . Moreover, so what if I’m exactly jealous, envious and full of hate? I can’t accept this! Those big lords are really lame . In that Prettiest Girl In School vote, BaoBei was only behind Su YuTong by a few votes . ”
BaoBei stared blankly . “There was a vote?”
“You didn’t know? You actually don’t know?!!” Shi XiaoXi became frantic . After she calmed down she thought for a bit, “This happened during winter vacation, you didn’t pay attention to the school forum? When you came back, we were scared you felt sad so we didn’t bring it up . ”
“Eh…… . I was accompanying my grandparents to Switzerland to pa.s.s the year……”
After she finished talking, the whole dorm room was silenced . Shi XiaoXi got caught up in another wave of jealousy, envy and hate .
“BaoBei, then you and Teacher Jiang……” Fang Jie cautiously and slowly asked .
“He is only an old friend . Other than that, there is nothing . ” BaoBei lifter her quilt and prepared to sleep .
Why do they keep going back to love?
