Chapter 500: Protecting Them as Friends
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi had admitted the truth.
Huang Hao, Zhang Fu, and the others were stunned. They suddenly didn’t know how to face her. They wanted to cry and laugh at the same time because they had always been taunted by Cla.s.s 1, accused of being without guidance, and having an instructor who was as good as absent, unlike Tang Lin, who would always stand up for them.
Yet now, with Rong Qi’s ident.i.ty revealed, they realized that their instructor had been protecting them in the guise of a friend all along. They wanted to laugh because, despite being roughly the same age, they were just students and Rong Qi was an expatriate professor with dual degrees.
Not just them, Rong Qi herself seemed hesitant. She reflected on it and thought the spirited young men were actually quite loyal. Even if she wouldn’t be teaching them anymore, there was no need to ruin the rapport they had built.
“You don’t need to feel burdened. Once your exams are over, I will leave. A new instructor will come to lead you,” Rong Qi said.
“Is it Ding Ding?”
“I’ve arranged for other teachers as well. They won’t be any less capable, don’t worry,” Rong Qi said.
“Oh,” Huang Hao and the others didn’t know what else to say, seemingly developing a habit of listening to whatever Rong Qi said.
Rong Qi wasn’t one for many words or sentimentalism. She gave them a few instructions and left. As she departed, she said, “Do well on your exams.”
The Cla.s.s 7 students watched Rong Qi walk away, each feeling a complicated mix of emotions. Somehow, they felt a hint of sadness.
Xing Han shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and left the room.
Only when the infirmary was left with just the Cla.s.s 7 students did they start buzzing like ants in a disturbed nest.
“Holy cow! Rong Qi is actually Ms. Seven!”
“But she just said she won’t be teaching us next semester? Why? Her cla.s.ses were actually quite good, at least I learned a lot.”
“I don’t know, let’s wait and see. Should we text Han Ning to see what to do?”
“Let’s not rush. Ms. Seven said not to talk about it yet. Who knows what the next instructor will be like. Rather than getting another one, I might as well prefer Ms. Seven…”
Outside the university gates, Ye Nanshen’s car was already waiting and Zhuang Ling was standing beside the car waiting for Rong Qi and Xu Yi.
Xu Yi stepped forward, wrapping an arm around Zhuang Ling’s shoulder, and said, “You have no idea how impressive Madam was today! The head of the Duan family came to kowtow!”
Xu Yi proceeded to pull Zhuang Ling closer, whispering in his ear, “Let’s bet on what ident.i.ty Madam a.s.sumed this time. I’ll rule out the ident.i.ty of Camellia. So what’s your answer?”
Zhuang Ling glanced at Xu Yi and said, “You’re short on cash again? Did you give your money to another damsel in distress to save her father?”
“No!” Xu Yi looked at Zhuang Ling irritably and retorted, “It’s because Madam fought again today, and I’m going to get my pay docked.”
“You!” Zhuang Ling glared at Xu Yi and said, “You know Madam’s current situation, and you still let her fight?”
Xu Yi scratched his head, looking innocent.
Behind them, Rong Qi listened to their bickering, speechless.
Zhuang Ling turned back, addressing Rong Qi, “Master Shen has gone to the President Office, he’ll come over in a while. Lady, would you like to wait in the car for Master Shen?”
“Okay, I’ll wait for him in the car.” Rong Qi replied.
Zhuang Ling nodded, gave Xu Yi a nudge with his cane, and followed behind Rong Qi.
However, just as they were about to move, a group of girls suddenly ran out from behind.
“Zhuang Ling! Zhuang Ling! Wait for me!”
Zhuang Ling, Rong Qi, and Xu Yi were alarmed by the sudden uproar. Xu Yi leaped on the spot and exclaimed, “Oh no, there’s so many of them!”
Before Rong Qi and Zhuang Ling could figure out what was going on, the group of girls crowded around Xu Yi..
