Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Yu Ting was dorm-bound right after her first afternoon class, whereas Lu Nanchen was not so lucky. He had to continue to another class for a different major. Once in the class, he did as he usually did −− waiting for the class rep to take attendance and sign after which he opened the PowerPoint to prepare for the lecture.
All seats were filled. The students were engaged in lively discussions.
Everything seemed ordinary, except that the chatter was unusually loud. Apparently, there was some fresh gossip.
Lu Nanchen didn’t pay attention to these, nor did he understand them. He simply carried on with his lecturing routine, brows relaxed as he pulled up the relevant PowerPoint from his USB based on the teaching progress. Then, he waited for the class bell.
The bell rang, and class began on time.
The bell rang again, and class ended on time.
His next lecture was scheduled. He stood in the classroom, not leaving.
The discussion seemed to have taken a new turn. The ten-minute break between classes was now filled with animated conversations among the students.
"Hey, have you heard? A guy from the Civil Engineering Department confessed his feelings to our Yu Ting this afternoon," a girl with a loud voice sitting in the middle of the first row said to her companion with undisguised astonishment. Her voice loud enough to be heard by Lu Nanchen.
At her words, Lu Nanchen, who was fiddling with his mouse, froze.
"What? Could he be so bold? To desire Yu Ting?"
Although Yu Ting had changed a lot after the summer break −− her dressing style, her behavior, making her much more appealing, she’s still quite flirtatious.
Floating from one interest to the next, isn’t the Civil Engineering guy afraid of being cuckolded?
"Who knows? They say he’s liked her for a while and, encouraged by his roommates, gathered the courage to confess today. He even bought 99 roses. Cliché, I know, but I must say, it’s still very romantic."
"He’d talked of going to confess before class. He probably did it by now."
"I wonder how Yu Ting reacted. She must be over the moon."
"But, if his confession is successful, it’d be good. That way, Yu Ting won’t be in a dilemma between Shen Sheng and Teacher Lu."
Zi.
Lu Nanchen’s hand instinctively clicked the left button of the mouse. He was momentarily flustered.
Someone confessed to his wife?
"Are you saying a guy confessed to Yu Ting?" Lu Nanchen descended the podium and abruptly inserted himself into the conversation among the three girls. He looked serious and stern, showing no signs of jesting.
"Ah? Yes, the guy left for the female dorms to find Yu Ting before this class started. By now, he probably confessed, and they might already be dating."
"Right, Teacher Lu, this has nothing to do with you. Please continue with your lecture. Your class is really insightful and great."
The three interrupted girls were now gazing at Lu Nanchen’s handsome face, their minds wavering even in the chilly winter air.
Zi.
Lu Nanchen loosened his very buttoned-up cuffs; unbearably hot.
He stormed out of the classroom, undoing his buttons as he went. His hair was turbulent in the wind, and his eyes were grim. His lips were pressed into a firm line.
Utterly preposterous.
Anyone could tell that he was not in a good mood.
"You guys continue with self-study. I am going to get another teacher to take over the next class."
