Ji Bei frowned slightly and said impatiently, "What does it matter to me whether she's pretty or not?"

"Brother Ji, take a look! She's even prettier than the girl Lao San and the others voted for in the department. You'll definitely regret it if you don't see her!"

"Regret my ass!" Ji Bei became increasingly impatient. "Even if she had a flower growing on her face, it would have nothing to do with me. If you disturb my sleep again, you'll regret it right away!"

Shen Cong immediately shut his mouth and then made a zipping motion.

"Hello, Professor Lin has research to do, so I will be teaching this class from now on." A soft female voice rang out: "My name is Bai Yan, you can call me Teacher Bai."

Ji Bei's ears twitched slightly... This voice is actually quite pleasant?

"Although I don't like taking attendance, we'll be spending most of the semester together, so I need to remember your names, right?" She turned on her computer: "Now I'll start taking attendance. Students who are called, please answer 'present' so I can get to know you, okay?"

She was beautiful and spoke in a light and gentle tone, and students quickly responded.

"Brother Ji, Teacher Bai has called roll," Shen Cong said.

So what if I take attendance? He doesn't even look at it anyway. I mean what I say!

Bai Yan clicked on each name one by one. When the mouse hovered over the name 'Ji Bei', her gaze settled on a seat in the back row. The boy was sitting in the corner, his face obscured, but the blue streak at the end of his hair was clearly visible.

She paused for a few seconds before looking in that direction: "Ji Bei."

Ji Bei wasn't asleep, and he didn't know what he was expecting.

But once his name was uttered from her lips, he seemed to understand.

Ji Bei looked up, his gaze naturally drifting towards the podium.

If Shen Cong asks him later, he'll have an excuse: it's because the teacher called on him, and he has to be polite.

The classroom was brightly lit, and the trees lining the road outside the window became part of the scenery. When he looked up, he was almost stunned as he stared at the person on the podium.

She wore a fitted suit skirt that accentuated her figure without appearing frivolous, exuding feminine elegance and beauty.

However, what captivated Ji Bei the most were her eyes, which were mesmerizing under the stage lights.

When she looked at him, he felt his heart beating as if it were no longer under his control.

Bai Yan also looked at him, and as Ji Bei's heart trembled violently, she smiled and nodded at him.

Then he looked away and called out the next person's name.

In the short time it took to call roll, it felt like he had experienced half a world. After her gaze shifted away, he couldn't help but feel a little lost and touched his heart... which was still pounding fiercely.

Bai Yan also wanted to talk to Ji Bei, but it was class time, and she was a teacher now, so she had to do what she was supposed to do.

Bai Yan's classes were humorous and engaging, and everyone listened attentively. Only Chen Cong wasn't interested in pretty girls or the lessons; he was only interested in ranking up in games. "Dad, Dad, which internet cafe are we going to later?" he asked.

He kept tugging at Ji Bei's sleeve under the table, but Ji Bei was too lazy to pay attention to him at the moment. He was afraid that Teacher Bai would see him daydreaming in class.

Even university professors should appreciate diligent students, right?

"Brother Ji! Quick, check out the internet cafes! Pick one where you have good skills and fast internet, we need it if there are no seats left!"

Ji Bei had no interest in listening to Shen Cong at this moment.

He couldn't concentrate on other people's lectures, but when it was Teacher Bai, he inexplicably felt like he couldn't get enough of listening.

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, why isn't class over yet?"

"I want to play games?"

"Since Ms. Bai is so beautiful, can we go ahead with our plans?"

"Shut up!" He couldn't help but yell at the chattering Shen Cong, "Don't make a sound, you're disturbing my lesson!"

Shen Cong was stunned... Did the sun rise in the west?

Then he saw that Brother Ji was listening very attentively: "Brother Ji, do you understand?" He remembered that Brother Ji had skipped all of Old Man Lin's classes before.

"Why listen if you don't understand?"

Ji Bei felt guilty. "It's none of your business. Can't I love learning?"

"Okay, you're awesome!"

After the class ended, Bai Yan smiled and said, "We will have another class next week. I will be checking the content of this class next time, as it will affect everyone's participation grade, so you'd better pay attention."

"I'll find a student representative to create a group chat later. They can ask me anything they don't understand about today's lesson in the group."

"get out of class dismissed."

...

After class, Bai Yan was about to walk out of the school when she caught a glimpse of a man with blue highlights riding a bicycle slowly. He was wearing headphones and a mask, and when she looked over, he immediately put one hand on his headphones and swayed his body as if he were immersed in the music.

With a slight smile, she continued walking forward. There happened to be a sewer ahead, and she deliberately stepped into it with the heel of her high heel. Eventually, the heel sank in and she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did.

She could only take off her high heels, squat down, and pretend to be in a difficult position.

Sure enough, a moment later he parked his bicycle to the side, took off his headphones, and strode over here.

"I...I'll help you."

Ji Bei glanced at her face, then quickly lowered his head again. The heel of the high heel was completely stuck; Ji Bei tried to pull it out a couple of times, but the shoe remained firmly embedded.

"Is it not okay?" The two were very close, and her hair was almost falling around her ears.

A fragrance wafted into Ji Bei's nose, and his face flushed instantly. He didn't care about anything else and used all his strength. The sound of a shoe heel breaking rang out. Ji Bei thought to himself, "Oh no!" but his hands didn't react in time.

Due to inertia, the person sat down on the ground with the broken high heel.

He was stunned, then glanced at the high heels in his hand, and looked at Bai Yan with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry..."

"It's alright." Bai Yan smiled gently. "It's better to have something to wear than to go home barefoot. Thank you, Ji."

"Teacher Bai, do you recognize me?" That's not right, how could she recognize him even though he was wearing a mask?

"Of course, I called your name just now." Bai Yan smiled and pointed to her eyes: "Student Ji's eyes are very beautiful, just like the sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes described in novels, easy to recognize."

Ji Bei's heart pounded faster and faster, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes... She praised him!

Bai Yan looked down at the two shoes, one tall and one short, with a somewhat troubled expression.

Ji Bei, without any instruction, patted his chest and said, "Teacher Bai, how about I take you out on my bicycle?"

Bai Yan was taken aback for a moment, "Is this convenient? Will it take up your time?"

"I don't have classes this afternoon," Ji Bei said. "Come on, teacher, my bicycle is over there. I'll help you over."

This was exactly what Bai Yan wanted to hear, and she immediately smiled and said, "Then thank you."
