Just like what the male student who had known him for less than five minutes imagined, Ren Suo was indeed being treated harshly by Dong Chengling.
Tianlian College was initially built according to the four grades of a 10,000-person college. Although it has not yet been fully completed, the college only has freshman grades, so there are many empty classrooms in the teaching building. No one is in class in 201 next to classroom 202. Dong Chengling walked in and took a look. After confirming that there was no one inside, he called Ren Suo over.
As soon as Ren Suo entered, Dong Chengling immediately pushed him against the wall, covered his mouth, and quickly closed the classroom door.
Ren Suo was pressed against Dong Chengling's entire body. Feeling the warmth in his arms, he immediately raised his hands, not daring to move.
Dong Chengling glanced at the curtains not far away and used her telekinesis to pull the curtains on both sides. It was cloudy this afternoon, and the classroom was suddenly dim. She still felt that it was not enough, so she looked up at the camera in the corner and blew gently. Ren Suo saw that the camera was covered with a layer of white mist.
I don't know if it's a spell effect or a telekinetic effect, but it's very cool anyway. It's very convenient and practical to use it to set up a murder scene or kill in a secret room!
Dong Chengling did this before releasing the hand that was covering Ren Suo's mouth and asked in a low voice, "Suo, do you have something urgent to talk to me about?"
She felt that Ren Suo coming to the teaching building to find her was unexpected but reasonable, because her cell phone was turned off during class. If Ren Suo wanted to find her for something, he could only come directly to the teaching building.
But she knew Ren Suo better than anyone else. Ren Suo would never go out for trivial matters, nor would he waste time on trivial matters.
Ren Suo must have come to the teaching building to find her for something. If this matter was important to her, Ren Suo would most likely not care about classroom discipline and would definitely rush in and grab her and run away; but if this matter was only related to Ren Suo himself, he would instead abide by classroom discipline and wait until the get out of class was over.
Dong Chengling realized this, so he found a reason to get Ren Suo out.
Of course, the sound of their voices did affect classroom discipline. Although Dong Chengling liked him to say 'Dong Chengling is the best in the world', it was not good to affect classroom discipline.
Although he didn't know how serious Ren Suo's situation was, and whether someone from the Countermeasures Bureau would break in through the window and arrest him the next second, Dong Chengling still talked to him according to the highest standards: blocking all observation sources to ensure that only the two of them knew about this communication and it would never be leaked.
However, Dong Chengling felt a little strange at this moment. Why did she subconsciously feel that Ren Suo had come to her for something big, and why did she arrange the secret environment so skillfully, as if she had a plan in mind.
"Actually... it's not urgent."
Ren Suo was embarrassed by Dong Chengling's ostentation. He handed over the brown paper bag and said with a wry smile, "This is for you."
Dong Chengling took the paper bag and hesitated: "Can I open it here?"
"Of course." Ren Suo said, "If you don't like it, you can tell me."
Dong Chengling took out a scarf from the paper bag, and she was obviously stunned for a moment. With the help of the weak light, she saw that it was a pink scarf. The light pink background was divided into large grids by egg yolk crosses. There was no pattern, but the color combination alone made the scarf look very cute.
"I was planning to give you the gift tonight, but you have to make up for your lessons tonight, so I was thinking whether I should give it to you tomorrow, Christmas Day. But after thinking about it, I think I should give the gift while I remember it. I think I will probably forget about it tomorrow night..."
Ren Suo was seriously exploring his memory, and when he noticed that Dong Chengling was still looking at the scarf, he asked, "Do you like these two colors?"
"I like it." Dong Chengling nodded: "How do you know I like pink and yellow? I never usually..."
Most of her clothes were white and black, with the occasional few different ones bought by Qiao Muyi before. Pink and yellow had never appeared in her life. How did Ren Suo know?
"I guessed. Didn't you buy all of Xiaojiu's clothes? I've seen that her clothes are mostly yellow and pink." Ren Suo crossed his hands and said, "What adults like is most easily reflected in children. For example, my dad likes calligraphy and insisted that I sign up for a calligraphy class. My mom thinks men hanging clothes out to dry are handsome and insisted that I do it. I like playing games and I already have a list of games that I must play with my children..."
As he was talking, Ren Suo suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait, my mom..."
Looking at Ren Suo who was lost in thought, Dong Chengling chuckled and said, "But I never buy yellow or pink clothes."
"What's so strange about this? Zhao Huo usually doesn't reveal that he's a second-dimensional person." Ren Suo tilted his head and looked at Dong Chengling, and asked, "Then why don't you buy pink or yellow clothes?"
Dong Chengling blushed slightly, his eyes wandered, and he said thoughtfully: "I think... those colors are not suitable for me... too childish..."
"I understand, I understand," Ren Suo nodded in understanding. "Before I started playing Souls-related games, I also felt that such games that abused players were not suitable for me, but I couldn't stop playing them... You didn't pay much attention to your clothing before, so I'm afraid you choose clothes like me, specifically choosing colors that don't get dirty. You can just wear whatever you want, right?"
"That is, when you are picking clothes for Xiaojiu, you will try your best to pick the best clothes for her." Ren Suo laughed and said, "You are like me, you love children very much."
"Yeah." Dong Chengling responded softly with a cute nasal sound, lowering his head to look at the scarf.
Ren Suo said, "So practice makes perfect. Why don't you try it on and try it out?"
Dong Chengling put down the brown paper bag and took the scarf. His eyes flickered and an idea flashed through his mind. He raised his head and said to Ren Suo, "I have never worn a scarf before. I don't know how to wear it."
"Use the simplest method. Just wrap it around your neck like hanging yourself..."
"Why don't you help me put it on." Dong Chengling handed the neatly folded scarf to Ren Suo.
Ren Suo blinked, took the scarf and put it on Dong Chengling without hesitation.
"I don't know how to tie a knot, I just wrap it around once, twice, and then put the tail in front or at the back depending on my preference..."
When helping someone put on a scarf, both parties naturally have to be close to each other. When wrapping the scarf, Ren Suo even has to wrap his hands behind Dong Chengling's head. Dong Chengling happily enjoyed Ren Suo's service and whispered, "What do you think?"
Grasping both ends of the scarf, Ren Suo glanced at the current environment: a dim classroom, a blocked camera, two people talking in a low voice... If Ren Suo suddenly tightened his scarf, it would immediately become a perfect murder scene.
Shaking off the stupid, arrogant and suicidal thoughts in his mind, Ren Suo looked at Dong Chengling seriously, nodded and said, "Very suitable."
"Really?" Dong Chengling hesitated and asked, "Isn't it too childish and girly?"
"That's why it suits you." Ren Suo said with a smile, "Didn't you hear the conversation between me and your students just now? You are beautiful, have a good figure, are good at teaching, have a nice voice, and are the best female teacher in Lianjiang. Isn't it just right for you to dress more like a girl?"
Dong Chengling was still very hesitant: "But... it doesn't quite fit my image..."
Ren Suo thought about it and vaguely knew why Dong Chengling was so hesitant: Dong Chengling herself didn't care much about other people's opinions, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be influenced by others.
She is not as hardcore and old-fashioned as others imagine. She also has a pink and dreamy girlish heart. Ren Suo can see it from the room she decorated for Xiao Jiu. However, for various reasons, she subconsciously concealed her attitude of liking pink and cute things and pretended to be a pragmatist.
Ren Suo blinked and asked, "Do you like seekers?"
"I like it." Dong Chengling nodded, and added: "I like it just like I like my idol."
"Do you remember what clothes the seeker was wearing the last time he showed up?"
Dong Chengling thought for a moment: "I don't remember exactly, but..."
"But she's wearing nice clothes, right?" Ren Suo said with a smile, "There's no conflict between seeking the truth, practicing, and liking to wear nice clothes. Your students won't look down on you just because you're a young, pretty, and lovely female teacher. Your attendance rate will even reach 200%."
"I'm not asking you to change anything. It's totally fine to wear sportswear on a daily basis. After all, it's convenient and resistant to dirt. However, if you suddenly feel like it..."
Ren Suo helped Dong Chengling adjust her scarf and said with a smile, "Chengling in a girlish style is also very cute. If you don't wear this kind of clothes in the future, your students and I will really lose out."
"I'd better keep the achievements that can be triggered. If I wear a girlish style, I will probably be scolded for being too perverted..." Ren Suo shrugged and said, "Of course, if I wear a girlish style and people praise me for being cute, that would be even more perverted..."
Dong Chengling smiled sweetly, and reached out to help Ren Suo straighten his scarf, saying, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you like it, I won't disturb your class."
"Nothing else?" Dong Chengling asked, "You came here just to give me the scarf?"
"yes."
"If I hadn't called you out, would you still be waiting in the classroom?"
任索点头：“嗯，如果你那位学生没搭讪我的话，我肯定会玩一节课手机来等你下课。”
东承灵疑惑道：“但你不是很讨厌浪费时间吗？”
“嗯”任索叉着手沉思片刻，说道：“这个也要看情况，毫无意义的浪费时间我当然不干，例如无聊的聚会之类的……但因为承灵你浪费一节课，那还属于我可以承受的范围之内。”
为了送礼物，他去市区来回快两个多小时了，对比之下东承灵只需要他浪费一节课，已经很良心了。
“而且只要给我一个主线目标，我是不怕浪费时间或者走岔道的。虽然说是浪费时间，走了一些弯路，但说不定也会触发什么支线任务，拿到一些珍贵道具什么的……”
“这不，我才发现承灵你在学生里人气这么高，也算是一个大发现了。”任索笑道。
东承灵说道：“我以为你不喜欢等待。”
任索点头又摇头：“看情况，如果是无聊的等待我当然不喜欢，但如果是等你或者等下课，那等待的这段时间反而会很有意思我已经很久没享受过‘还剩几分钟放学’这种期待感了。”
任索说着说着发现东承灵正笑着注视他，心里忽然一惊他好像将自己说得像是一个喜欢被人放置py的变态啊！
任索连忙转移话题：“对了，今晚要我去接小玖吗？今晚你还要上课，时间有点紧吧？”
东承灵点点头，说道：“那就麻烦你了。”
“客气什么呢，我是和你一起养小玖的，虽然我只负责周六日的陪玩。”任索摆摆手，“那今晚我就和小玖在外面解决咯？”
“那你别和她吃油炸食品，吃健康一点的。”
“知~道~啦~”
等任索离开后，东承灵才将窗帘恢复原状，驱散摄像头的雾气。她想了想，还是将围巾解下来，叠好放回牛皮纸袋。
讨厌浪费时间，但愿意为我浪费时间；
不喜欢等待，但会享受等我；
东承灵回去教室，窸窸窣窣的教室顿时安静下来。她将牛皮纸袋放在教坛下来，继续讲课。
大多数学生都迅速进入学习状态，只有唯一一位坐在第七排的男学生心里正在翻江倒海！
那个兄弟没有回来，反倒是东老师拿了他的牛皮纸袋回来！
东老师与那位兄弟在外面足足呆了五六分钟，时间好长！
东老师笑容笑得好甜，声音超温柔超悦耳的！
难道…
难道…
难道东老师将那位兄弟打了一顿，还抢了他的东西，凭借教学的名义获得愉悦的快感？
那位兄弟仅仅坚持了五六分钟嘛！？
四转修士好可怕！
但现在的东老师真的好漂亮，好甜好温柔，仿佛整个人在发光，甚至连她的眼睫毛都快要翘起来，要是以后都是这样的东老师上课就好了……
刚才究竟发生了什么，东老师心里到底有多爽啊！
……
……
下课后，东承灵又回答了学生们半小时问题，最后柔声拒绝了学生们的进餐邀请，提着牛皮纸袋离开。她在路上打开手机，顺便上微信看有没有信息。
她看见朋友圈出现一个小红点，本来对刷朋友圈完全不感兴趣的她，这时候忽然鬼使神差点进去一看。
然后，她便看见任索发了一条朋友圈：
东承灵顺手给任索点了个赞，然后算了算时间。
任索9点钟就差不多回来，她也是9点钟就下课，而且任索是从外面回来，她甚至还来得及回家换套衣服。
东承灵心思已定，便去饭堂吃饭了。
……
……
晚上9点，天莲学院女生宿舍，正在换衣服的古月言对林羡鱼说道：“你真的不去吗？”
正在看综艺的林羡鱼将两只脚丫子缩到椅子上，蹲着看电视。她听到班长的问话，十只脚趾头抓了抓椅子，摇了摇头：“不去不去，我就算通静电也不会发光，连当电灯泡的资格都没有。”
古月言沉默片刻，走到林羡鱼后面，扯了扯她的衣袖，小声说道：“但你不去的话……我跟他聊完论文之后就没话题了……”
林羡鱼叹了口气，关掉手提电脑，老老实实换衣服穿鞋子，心想班长也就只有害羞别扭的时候才会这么可爱，这时候她就很想戳一下班长的屁股欧派来测试一下班长的反应了……
穿好衣服的林羡鱼转头一看，问道：“你要戴围巾去？”
“嗯。”古月言说道：“我其实就是想戴给他看。”
林羡鱼问道：“那你隔几天再戴不也可以吗，非要今晚过去？”
古月言摇了摇头：“我占不到圣诞夜，总得在平安夜占一点便宜吧？”
林羡鱼想了想，点点头，然后从书包里找出一条围巾戴上。
古月言看了她一眼，没说什么，转身离开宿舍林羡鱼平时也戴围巾，像这样能保暖并且能提高生活质量的事，她几乎都不会错过。
林羡鱼这时候却是俏脸一红我又不是班长，更不想戴给任大哥看，我只是因为外面风大才戴围巾的！嗯，就是这样！
当林羡鱼走到宿舍楼下，却看见班长呆呆地抬头看着夜空。
林羡鱼抬起头，看见今晚的月亮是个朦朦胧胧的凸月，像是个烙饼，半圆半不圆。她算了算时间，今天是农历十九，月相应该是下弦月亏凸月。
“班长？”林羡鱼上前拍了拍古月言的肩膀，古月言像是被惊醒了一样。她回过神来，说道：“好啦？那我们走吧。”
“班长你怎么看着月亮发呆？”
“没什么，只是……”古月言犹豫了一下，说道：“我觉得月亮好像在召唤我。”
“什么，班长你终于要成为美少女战士，代表月亮惩罚坏人了吗？”
两人说说笑笑走到半路，却是遇见一个熟人从另外一栋女生宿舍走过来的任星美。
三人见面的瞬间，都是如同杀手刺客般将视线锁定到对方的第一要害脖子上。
无一例外，三个人的第一要害都被不同款式的围巾保护着。
“…小星星你也去任大哥家吗？”林羡鱼率先打破僵局。
“是啊，我今晚要和哥打游戏打通宵，一起走吧。”
三人继续前行，不过一路上非常安静，就连最多话的林羡鱼都安静得像条咸鱼。
静谧之中，奇妙的预感开始在三人心中萌发。
等她们走到教职工宿舍楼下，便看见一辆车停在2号宿舍楼下，里面走出一个哪怕穿着冬装也难掩身材曼妙的丽人。她们四人八眼相对，视线依然迅速锁定到对方的脖子上。
她们四个的脖子都是被不同款式的围巾保护着。
“晚上好，你们也是过来找小索的？”
“是的乔姐，我们是过来找他谈一下论文……你呢？”
“巧了，我也是想跟他聊一下对策局论文的问题。”
“我哥可能还没回来，我带你们上去先开门坐着吧。”
任星美这个提案获得众人的认可，而当她们准备进去宿舍楼的时候，旁边宿舍楼的玻璃门打开了。
穿着贴身白色毛衣和黑色裤袜的东承灵从里面走出来，她们五人顿时十目相对，视线自然而然落到对方的脖子上。
大家的脖子，都是被不同款式的围巾保护着，免受寒风的吹袭。
一直保持甜美笑容的东承灵脸色微变，她走过来问道：“你们这么晚过来找索啊？”
“是啊，”乔木依眯着眼睛，笑吟吟地说道：“大家都是抱着各种各样的目的找他……”
“……但现在，大家可能都有一个共同的目的呢。”
林羡鱼猛地给了自己肚子一拳，让自己死死憋住狂涌而出的笑意。
任星美眼珠子转了转，表情有些无奈。
古月言抬头看了看月亮，脸色微微有些茫然。
东承灵恢复恬淡的笑容，放在身后的双手十指绞成一团。
乔木依叉着双手，狐媚般眼睛眯了起来，嘴角扬起露出危险的笑意。
宿舍楼楼下的黑铃铛都远离她们，跑到对面草丛里面去了。
“灵姐姐”
这时候，小玖那软糯的声音远远响起，她们看见小玖一路小跑过来，往东承灵要抱抱，东承灵笑着蹲下来抱住她，问道：“今晚吃了什么啊？”
“今晚吃了火锅！”小玖摸了摸肚子，奶声奶气地说道：“吃得饱饱的！”
“嗯嗯。”东承灵点点头，这时候乔木依俯下身子，摸了一下小玖的围巾，笑问道：“哎哟，小玖，这是你的新围巾吗？”
小玖的围巾是粉色底色，上面有一只小小的九尾狐，非常可爱。
“是啊，这是大哥哥送给我的！”小玖昂起脑袋，十分神气地说道：“大哥哥亲手织的！超好看！小玖超~喜欢！”
“又是他亲手织的啊。”乔木依笑吟吟地点点头：“小玖，那你觉得我们的围巾好看吗？”
小玖看了看面前几位大姐姐，小巧的琼鼻耸了耸，神气的笑容瞬间耷拉下来，转过身‘哇’的一声跑向后面走过来的任索。
Ren Suo scratched his head, squatted down to catch Xiao Jiu, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Were you bullied by the sisters?"
Xiao Jiu pouted and asked, "Why do the sisters also have scarves?"
"Because it's cold and windy."
"But why do they also have scarves knitted by big brother?" Xiao Jiu sniffed. She could clearly smell that the scarves everyone was wearing were knitted by Ren Suo himself!
"Because I gave it to them." Ren Suo blinked and replied.
"Big brother, didn't you only give it to Xiaojiu?"
"No, I worked hard to knit many strips."
"But big brother, why didn't you tell Xiaojiu that you also knitted a lot of scarves for other girls?"
“But you didn’t ask.”
Ren Suo thought that it wasn't just girls who received gifts, two were given to boys as well.
While comforting Xiao Jiu, Ren Suo raised his head and looked at Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, and Lin Xianyu, vaguely feeling that things seemed not simple.
"What's the matter with you guys visiting me so late?"
"hehe."
