However, Zuan's thoughts quickly returned to the arithmetic class he was going to attend later. His first appearance should be a bit more impressive, right? If he just went to class obediently, how could he stand out from the crowd?
After racking his brains for a while, Zu An suddenly had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly ran towards the administration building. However, the staff there told him that Shang Liuyu was not in the office and might be resting in the classroom or dormitory.
Watching Zu'an rush towards the classroom and dormitory area, the staff members couldn't help but laugh behind his back.
"Another one has gone mad."
"But Professor Shang is very charming. Didn't you see that even Director Lu was showing him all sorts of goodwill?"
"Doesn't Rude already have a family?"
"A middle-aged man's second spring, you know what I mean."
"Director Lu is one thing, but this kid wants to pursue Teacher Shang? He's overestimating himself."
"Why didn't you tell him that Teacher Shang never allows outsiders into her yard? This guy's trip would have been pointless."
"Hmph, I don't know what connections a student from the Yellow Class has used to become a teacher at the school. It's good to teach him a lesson."
...
Zuan had no idea he was being made a joke of. He hurriedly ran to the teachers' dormitory area and, following the previous directions, arrived at Shang Liuyu's courtyard.
Knock knock knock, Zuan started knocking on the door.
While knocking on the door, he quietly took out his key token and tried it, but unfortunately the door did not open at all.
As expected, such a wonderful thing as a universal key can only be a dream.
"who?"
A lazy voice came from the courtyard, but it sounded cold at the moment, as if someone was annoyed at being disturbed.
"It's me, Sister Shang."
Zu An hurriedly replied that he certainly wouldn't call Shang "Teacher Shang" like the others, as that would be too formal.
"Did you need something from me?" Shang Liuyu's voice rang out again in the courtyard.
Zu An stared at the unmoving door, wondering what it meant. "Given our friendship, why won't they open the door for me?" But circumstances forced him to answer honestly, "There's a piece of music I'd like Sister Shang to play for me."
Silence fell over the courtyard. After a while, the courtyard gate opened a crack, and Shang Liuyu's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."
Zu An didn't think much of it and pushed the door open to go in. He found that Shang Liuyu's courtyard was much quieter than his own. However, what caught his eye the most was that there was a large pond in his courtyard. The water inside was sparkling and crystal clear.
"There's even a private swimming pool! How luxurious!" Zu'an clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that he should also complain to the beautiful headmistress about why his courtyard didn't have one. Wasn't this discriminatory treatment? The key point was that he couldn't let his 7.5 million taels go to waste.
"Do you have any new songs?" A gentle voice came, and Zu'an turned his head, his eyes lighting up.
At this moment, Shang Liuyu was turning her head to the side, wiping her wet hair with a towel, as if she had just taken a bath. There were still some water stains on her skin, and the crystal clear water droplets paled in comparison to her fair and snow-white skin.
She was wrapped in a loose-fitting loungewear dress that resembled a bathrobe, her delicate collarbones exposed to the air, revealing her milky-white skin.
The skirt was the perfect length, revealing the shapely curves of her calves and a pair of slender, perfect feet. Her nails were painted with beautiful balsam juice, making them look incredibly vibrant.
Shang Liuyu casually tossed her hair behind her back and reclined on a wicker chair hanging from a tree nearby, exuding an extremely languid charm: "You came all this way to see me, not just to stare at me, were you?"
"Uh, no, I have a piece of music I'd like you to play for me." For the first time ever, Zu'an blushed. He always felt that the woman in front of him had a special kind of charm. Most women, when they noticed someone's rude gaze, would either be shy or angry, or at the very least, they would have some negative emotions.
But Shang Liuyu's eyes, as vast and captivating as the ocean, seemed to hold a detached indifference that seemed to have seen through the ways of the world, as well as a gentle tenderness that embraced everything, which made Zu An feel a little embarrassed.
"What tune?" Shang Liuyu's eyes were full of curiosity. In fact, many people had tried to get close to her over the years under this pretext, since her love for music was no secret. However, most of them were hard to catch her eye until the young man she met by chance in the pavilion last time. The tune he played was refreshing and even touched the deepest emotions hidden in her heart.
The style of the music was clearly different from the way things were in this world, but music ultimately leads to the same goal: to touch people's souls. So she was filled with curiosity and affection for this young man, and she really couldn't understand how he could play such an emotional and beautiful piece at such a young age.
"This song is called 'God of Gamblers'!" Zuan had been thinking about how to make a cool entrance later, listing the scenes of various big shots in movies and TV shows, and finally came to a conclusion: to be cool, a domineering background music is essential.
But there are no tape recorders in this world, so he couldn't possibly walk in while playing the instrument himself; that would be too undignified. After thinking it over, the only person in this world who could help him play the instrument was Shang Liuyu.
Of course, finding a reason to see this beautiful teacher again was also a major reason.
"God of Gamblers?" Shang Liuyu asked with a strange expression. "That name suits you quite well, but I wonder what the music is like."
She had obviously heard about how Zuan had won 7.5 million taels at the Silver Hook Casino.
