3-11: Tracking was discovered
That statement is, of course, false.
Now that the tracking has been discovered, Huaiyan's biggest worry is about Jiang Yuxing's spot.
He was afraid of upsetting Bai Wenzhou, which would mean Jiang Yuxing's spot would be lost.
So the young man chose the most moderate explanation, which Bai Wenzhou had no choice but to believe.
After all, the original owner was a bit of a weirdo, so it wasn't surprising that he did anything.
"Haven't you seen enough in class?" Bai Wenzhou curled the corners of his mouth, slightly loosened his grip on the boy's chin with his right hand.
There are two geography classes today, taught by the same teacher who replaced me yesterday.
During class, Bai Wenzhou could certainly sense that the boy was staring at him the whole time.
That gaze was so intense that he couldn't ignore it.
Huaiyan's face turned even redder with embarrassment.
He looked at the man timidly, about to say something.
"Huai inkstone!"
But a very familiar voice came from behind.
Huai Yan paused.
As he turned around, he was surprised to see Jiang Yuxing, who had been working a temporary job, and Gao Jia, whom he had just parted ways with.
"Hello, Teacher Bai!" Gao Jia waved.
After speaking, Gao Jia ran over excitedly, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere, and naturally hooked her arm around Huai Yan's neck.
Gao Jia was still clinging to Huai Yan, his entire body pressed against the boy's shoulder in an intimate manner.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Jia asked, her voice filled with confusion. "Isn't your home over there?"
Huai Yan was being held by the neck by Gao Jia, and couldn't move at all.
The boy's eyes darted around, and almost subconsciously, he looked at Bai Wenzhou.
What else could it be?
Of course, he was doing this to track Bai Wenzhou.
Huaiyan's cheeks turned bright red, and she felt that she could never face Bai Wenzhou again.
"N-nothing," he answered softly, trying to break free from Gao Jia's grasp.
Jiang Yuxing followed behind Gao Jia, one step behind.
He watched the two playfully bickering, a smile playing on his lips. Then he turned to Bai Wenzhou, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Teacher Bai."
Bai Wenzhou nodded in response.
The man's cold gaze, however, fell on Gao Jia's misbehaving arm.
"Oh, right, teacher," Gao Jia suddenly became serious, "I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."
Huaiyan paused in her struggle.
His gaze involuntarily shifted to Bai Wenzhou, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuxing bowed again at a ninety-degree angle.
"Teacher Bai, thank you." The boy's voice was solemn, filled with utmost respect and gratitude. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in this competition."
What? !
Huai Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she opened her lips, staring at Bai Wenzhou in disbelief.
The man did not give a clear answer when we were in the office today.
He originally thought that the matter would just end there, since Bai Wenzhou was just a subject teacher.
As a result, the man turned around and actually gave the spot to Jiang Yuxing.
The boy was both surprised and delighted, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Bai Wenzhou withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and said calmly, "Just perform normally in the competition."
Jiang Yuxing's strength is indeed not to be underestimated; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a prodigy.
Therefore, Bai Wenzhou's underhanded operations went very smoothly.
Of course, even without this step, he could still do it.
only……
Bai Wenzhou's eyes darkened, and his gaze fell on Gao Jia's arm again.
The operation needs to be completed ahead of schedule.
-
When Huaiyan got home, her heart was still pounding.
He didn't expect that Bai Wenzhou would help him silently.
After hesitating for a moment, Huaiyan took out her phone, wanting to send a text message to thank Bai Wenzhou.
He searched through his WeChat contacts for ages but couldn't find Bai Wenzhou's account.
"What's going on?" 073 asked in surprise. "Didn't the original owner like Bai Wenzhou? Why doesn't he even have his WeChat account?"
Huaiyan looked at it over and over again before she could really confirm it.
The original owner seemed to be very timid, only daring to save Bai Wenzhou's phone number in her contacts.
As for the rest, none of them require adding friends.
"Then...should I add one?" Huai Yan bit her lip, pausing on the WeChat interface, somewhat hesitant.
“Add me,” 073 said. “Didn’t Gao Jia recommend the school forum to you today? Go check it out.”
The boy nodded obediently, and nervously pulled up the class group chat.
As he expected, Bai Wenzhou's WeChat was indeed in the class group.
The man's profile picture is a completely black image, and his nickname is also very simple, like a Z typed out casually.
Looking at the WeChat interface for adding friends, the boy's heartbeat, which had been calming down, suddenly stopped.
It jumped suddenly again.
The moment Huaiyan pressed the verification button, goosebumps rose all over her body, and she gripped her phone tightly with unease.
Will Bai Wenzhou agree?
Any normal person would definitely avoid students who want to pursue them.
Even if the other party is a teenager who is already an adult and has independent thoughts.
Especially... Huaiyan was caught red-handed again today while he was stalking someone.
It's likely that Bai Wenzhou discovered it a few days ago, but he hesitated to expose it to save face for him.
The man was too good, so good that Huaiyan was always a little uneasy.
He dared not approach Bai Wenzhou rashly, yet he was often drawn to him, and involuntarily wanted to get a little closer.
The young man always felt that the saying "men are hard to approach" might be true.
Bai Wenzhou's kindness towards him seemed to be a natural fit for a teacher-student relationship.
Perhaps if it were someone else, Bai Wenzhou would have handled it the same way.
Thinking of this, Huaiyan could no longer control her nervousness.
He clicked on Gao Jiafa's forum link, hoping to ease his tension.
Before Huaiyan could even breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the post that was pinned to the top of the homepage.
[OP | AAA Wholesale Queen: Hey, who is this teacher? I've seen him five or six times, but I haven't dared to go up and say hello.]
[Images][Images]
The accompanying photos are two snapshots; one shows the back of a man, which is somewhat blurry.
The second picture is a profile view that Huai Yan knows all too well.
Bai asked the boat.
[1L: Looks like a geography teacher? This teacher is really popular, it's surprising that some people don't know her/surprised]
[4L: I heard he's quite fierce, but I never saw him smile when I ran into him on the street.]
[15L: I'm Professor Bai's student, and I'm here to testify that Professor Bai is really handsome! /drooling]
[20L: I'm speechless, Dad. How come everyone knows Teacher Bai is fierce?]
[OP: k is already a follower]
[40L: Bai Wenzhou, male, single, relationship status: unknown, age 24.]
[41L: Is the person upstairs a former spy?]
[42L: Go ahead and investigate, who can out-investigate you?]
...
[102L replied to 40L:]
Wait a minute, I remember Mr. Bai having a girlfriend? I saw a female teacher get into his car last time!
[103L: Something's happened to my corpse, I need to die for a bit first]
[105L: No, right? It seems like Professor Bai isn't very close to anyone?]
...
Huaiyan read through nearly a thousand comments bit by bit.
Bai Wenzhou's target is unclear, but it's not hard to piece it together from the few words in the comments.
At least Bai Wenzhou has teachers pursuing him, and quite a few at that.
In the comments, at least ten teachers were seen getting into Bai Wenzhou's car.
Seven of them were women and three were men.
“Looking at it this way,” 073 said, speechless, “it’s not surprising that the original owner fell in love with Bai Wenzhou.”
A young man's heart is stirred by the first stirrings of love, and he is also going through puberty, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is liking or admiration.
This feeling will naturally turn into a passionate liking.
That's normal.
Huai Yan remained silent, feeling a sense of melancholy for some reason.
He kept scrolling down to see if there were any other posts about Bai Wenzhou.
Huai Yan had long anticipated that, given Bai Wenzhou's looks alone, someone would surely like him.
But now, looking at it, Huaiyan can no longer laugh.
He couldn't explain why, but he gripped his phone tightly, his thoughts in turmoil.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
A pop-up message for a WeChat message appears at the top of the status bar.
— Bai Wenzhou's friend request has been accepted!
Huaiyan immediately looked away from the forum and went straight to WeChat.
However, Bai Wenzhou did not send a message proactively.
The chat interface between the two remained on the initial "application approved" message.
Huai Yan's fingertips trembled as she tried to greet him, but she kept mispronouncing the pinyin.
In the end, I just hastily typed a few words.
- [Huaiyan: Thank you, Teacher Bai]
The words were unclear, and no one explained what they were thanking.
However, Huaiyan was certain that the man knew what he was talking about.
But Bai Wenzhou did not reply to any messages for the next ten minutes or so.
Huai Yan grew increasingly anxious as he waited.
Only now has he belatedly realized what's happening.
When he went to the office today and mentioned Jiang Yuxing to Bai Wenzhou, the man seemed rather unhappy.
Why?
Jiang Yuxing's grades aren't very good, are they?
Normally, most teachers would probably like a student who excels in both character and academics, right?
After much thought, Huaiyan couldn't come up with a solution.
The phone went silent again.

"Wen Zhou!"
The young man leaned against the car and waved ahead.
It was getting late, the sun was setting, and the streetlights around were turning on one by one.
The streets are bustling with people and vehicles.
Bai Wenzhou strode across the sidewalk against the evening wind.
The man was wearing his usual black trench coat over a turtleneck sweater.
This made his already flawless face appear even more austere, like the biting frost in the cold wind.
"Why did it take you so long to get here?" Zhang Sheng asked as he opened the back door.
Bai Wenzhou, carried by the evening breeze, bent down and entered the back right seat.
The man's tone was cold, as if he had been chilled by the wind: "I was delayed on the way."
Zhang Sheng paused in closing the door, then raised an eyebrow.
"Could it be that you ran into that kid?" Zhang Sheng said jokingly. "Is he following you again?"
Bai Wenzhou turned his head and glanced at him expressionlessly.
Zhang Sheng laughed even louder: "Why are you looking at me? I'm not him."
Bai Wenzhou was already used to his childhood friend's sarcasm.
"I'm going to bring him here," the man said in a deep voice after a long silence.
Zhang Sheng was taken aback: "Keep him by your side? Can you control him?"
“People in this age group change their minds quickly,” Zhang Sheng said slowly, crossing his legs. “Maybe one day I won’t like you as much anymore.”
Bai Wenzhou remained noncommittal.
After a few seconds of pause, he said calmly, "There's no one at his house."
The child is an orphan, and he can't rest easy leaving him like this.
Even if they are adults, they are still naive and easily deceived.
He's a teacher, so he can at least set a good example.
