Chapter 1441: Refusing to be Balanced (16)

The director's birthday was celebrated in a lively manner. Not only did the underage children still in the orphanage participate, but several adult children who had gone out to work also came back. Those who did not come back also made a special phone call to the director. It can be imagined that the director is a person worthy of admiration and respect in everyone's hearts.

After a busy day, when Zhou Zhan and Tang Shichu were about to return to school, while Zhou Zhan was entangled by a few children, the dean took Tang Shichu's hand and walked to the corner. After making sure that Zhou Zhan could not hear her, she asked Tang Shichu hesitantly: "Xiaochu, are you and Zhou Zhan together?"

Tang Shichu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Dean, why do you think so? Zhou Zhan is focused on his research, and we don't even have much time to meet, how can we be together?"

"Really? But I noticed that his attitude towards you has become much softer this time. His eyes are always looking for you. He was never like this before." The dean looked at Tang Shichu meaningfully. "That kid has always been aloof. Even though I asked him to look after you before, he just did it as a routine. But he treated you differently this time."

"That's probably because he and I are becoming more and more familiar with each other. By the way, I saved him before, so he should be grateful to me." Tang Shichu thought of the previous attempted car accident and said to the dean.

"You saved him? What happened?" Upon hearing this, the dean frowned and asked seriously, "Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Tang Shichu slapped his head in annoyance. He forgot that he had not told the dean about Zhou Zhan being almost hit by Chen Yong's car. He was afraid that she would worry. But now he let it slip. Tang Shichu glanced at the dean carefully, and she glared at him: "Hurry up and tell me! Do you still want to hide it from me?"

"It was last year when Zhou Zhan was nearly hit by a classmate's car at the school gate. I pushed him away, and apart from a sprained foot, he was fine..." Tang Shichu's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"You two kids, you didn't even tell me such a big thing!" The dean was very angry and ignored Tang Shichu. He quickly walked up to Zhou Zhan and pulled him to check his whole body again. Zhou Zhan blushed and wanted to break free from the dean's hand, but he didn't dare to. So he had to look at Tang Shichu and asked her for help with his eyes: "Come and stop the dean!"

Tang Shichu turned his head guiltily and ignored him. The dean finally finished examining Zhou Zhan's body, then forcefully pressed him down on the chair, took off his shoes and examined his feet.

"Dean, don't be like this. Tell me what you want to do..." Zhou Zhan couldn't help it this time and quickly grabbed the dean's hand.

"Xiaochu said that you sprained your foot in a car accident last year. I want to see if it has fully healed. It would be bad if there are any sequelae." The dean said, and without saying a word, he broke free from Zhou Zhan's hand, forcibly took off his shoes and carefully examined his ankle.

"Dean, my foot has long since healed. There are no sequelae. Don't worry." Zhou Zhan explained when he heard what was going on. "It's just a sprain. It will heal soon. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaochu."

"Humph, ask her? You two are in cahoots with each other and you kept it a secret from me!" The dean said unhappily, "You didn't even tell me about such a serious matter as the car accident. It seems like you despise me because I'm old and useless..."

"No, no, Dean, we didn't think so!" Tang Shichu explained quickly, "We just know that you are very busy, and we are all adults and can handle this matter ourselves."

"Dean, I only have a minor injury. There's no need to tell you. I'm making you worry, not because I dislike you." Zhou Zhan pursed his lips and said to the dean nervously, fearing that the dean would be really angry.

The dean knew that these two people certainly didn't dislike her, and they were probably hiding it from her because of the principle of "reporting good news but not bad news". However, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I would be more worried if you didn't tell me anything."

Tang Shichu looked at the director who checked Zhou Zhan's feet and helped him put on his shoes. She felt a strange feeling in her heart. In the original owner's life, Zhou Zhan was really hit to death by Chen Yong. The director must have been very sad when she knew the news at that time, right? After all, she really regarded every child in the orphanage as her own, especially Zhou Zhan. He was calm and sensible when he was a child, and he was good at studying. He often helped her do things consciously. How could she not like such a good child? She loved him more in her heart. If she knew that he was hit to death, she would definitely be in a lot of pain.

"Xiaochu just said that someone wanted to hit you with a car? Why did they hit you? Did someone bully you?" After examining Zhou Zhan's body, the dean remembered what Tang Shichu accidentally let slip and continued to ask.

Zhou Zhan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, so he looked at Tang Shichu pleadingly.

Tang Shichu couldn't help laughing and said, "Dean, this is all because Zhou Zhan met a bad peach blossom. The girlfriend of the boy who bumped into him saw Zhou Zhan and dumped him in order to pursue Zhou Zhan. When the boy found out, he took his anger out on Zhou Zhan, saying that it was all because Zhou Zhan hooked up with his girlfriend."

The dean was immediately furious and yelled, "What does this have to do with our Zhou Zhan? Why is he so angry? Shouldn't he blame his fickle girlfriend?"

"Yes, that's what I thought too. It's obvious that his girlfriend has fallen in love with someone else. Zhou Zhan has no interest in his girlfriend at all and doesn't even have any impression of her. He is simply sick!" Tang Shichu echoed with approval.

"Alas, what an unexpected disaster." The dean touched Zhou Zhan's face distressedly, "It seems that having a very good-looking face is not a good thing."

When Tang Shichu heard what the dean said, he burst out laughing and said, "Dean, you don't know that Zhou Zhan is often confessed to by female classmates in school, but unfortunately he always refuses with a cold face. Everyone suspects that he is asexual."

"Asexuality is not acceptable. If there is a suitable one, Xiao Zhan should agree to it." The dean said disapprovingly, then glanced at the overjoyed Tang Shichu and said meaningfully, "It's okay if it's just some grass near the nest. You don't need me to teach you about the saying that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, right?"

When Zhou Zhan heard what the dean said, a slight blush appeared on his handsome face. He coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "Dean, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety in the future."

"Yes, Dean, I will keep an eye on him." Tang Shichu also quickly assured.

The dean nodded and said, "That's good. You two should take care of each other and help each other out there."

"Of course." Zhou Zhan nodded.

Tang Shichu skipped to get her luggage. When the dean saw that she had disappeared, he lowered his voice and asked Zhou Zhan, "Do you have feelings for Xiaochu?"
