Yan Fangxiu was sitting in the aisle seat, looking at Yan Ruyu and giving a thumbs up in the direction Zhao Beichen left.
He whispered, "As expected of Professor Zhao, such a casual remark can dispel their curiosity."
Yan Ruyu shrugged, "There's nothing I can do. Professor Zhao's authority in the school is really too great."
With Zhao Beichen's words, the classmates in the class really stopped asking Yan Ruyu questions.
Yan Ruyu's ears were finally quiet. She didn't have to explain so many questions, so she was happy to have some free time.
In the following days, Yan Ruyu went to school as usual, and so did Zhao Beichen. At the same time, he would personally apply ointment for Yan Ruyu after tutoring every day.
During their time together alone, Zhao Beichen and Yan Ruyu's relationship became closer.
Yan Ruyu also gradually discovered that Zhao Beichen was not only an excellent professor, teacher, and private tutor, but also a gentle and considerate...man.
In Yan Ruyu's heart, the special feeling she had for Zhao Beichen was becoming increasingly out of control.
But she didn't know how to explain it. Every time they got closer, her emotions would suddenly change.
Whenever this happened, Yan Ruyu would choose to keep her distance immediately to prevent Zhao Beichen from noticing that something was wrong with her.
The reason why she deliberately kept her distance was because Zhao Beichen had previously intentionally made it clear that he did not mean that, so Yan Ruyu was now afraid of being misunderstood by him.
Yan Ruyu looked at her arm after applying the ointment and said, "Professor Zhao, the scar seems to be a lot lighter than before." As she spoke, she observed it from various angles.
Zhao Beichen had just come back from washing his hands. Although he had wiped his hands, they were still a little wet and he kept shaking his wrists.
After hearing her words, he came over to take a look.
Nodding, "Sure enough, it's lighter than before. It seems that what the doctor said is right. This ointment can indeed lighten scars."
"From this point of view, if I continue to apply it, it shouldn't take too long for the scar to fade to the point where it can no longer be seen."
Zhao Beichen leaned close to her arm, gently held her wrist and spoke, the hot breath from his words spraying on her arm.
Yan Ruyu felt Zhao Beichen's breath and heat, and her heart couldn't help but feel numb.
She coughed softly, trying to divert her attention.
"Yes, this ointment is really magical." Yan Ruyu suppressed her gradually accelerating heartbeat and answered in a calm tone.
Zhao Beichen raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyu, who had a slightly evasive look in her eyes, as if he had noticed her unnaturalness.
He looked at his hands again and seemed to understand something.
He put his hand down, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Ruyu, you don't look very well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Ruyu was shocked. She didn't expect that Zhao Beichen could notice her change so easily.
She shook her head in panic, trying to hide her feelings.
"No, nothing, Professor Zhao, I'm probably just a little tired from studying." Yan Ruyu pretended to be relaxed and tried to change the subject. "By the way, Professor Zhao, besides being busy with school matters recently, have you participated in the research of Ocean University?"
Yan Ruyu thought about what she had heard her father and mother talking about these days. They said that Ocean University was looking for people for a new research project.
She believed that someone like Zhao Beichen would take the initiative to participate.
Zhao Beichen looked at Yan Ruyu, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head.
He smiled and said, "I did hear that Haida has recently carried out new research and is indeed looking for people to join, but... I am not interested in joining now."
Yan Ruyu blinked and asked in confusion, "Not interested in participating? Why?"
[People like Professor Zhao would have participated without hesitation if they knew there was a research project. How could he not be interested? I don’t quite believe this reason, even though I’m insisting on it.]
Zhao Beichen leaned back in his chair with one hand casually placed on the edge of the table. It was obvious that he was very relaxed.
So, the answers given in this relaxed state are mostly true.
"I really don't have much interest in participating. I have a lot of things to do at school and don't have much time to devote to research."
"All right."
"Ms. Ruyu, do you have any new study plans recently? Don't forget, the exam is getting closer and closer."
Hearing this question, Yan Ruyu supported her face and laughed dryly twice.
[Study plan? I am so smart, do I look like someone who would plan my studies for no reason? However, it is definitely not a good idea to say this, I still need to think of something to say to avoid Professor Zhao from asking more questions.]
What she didn't know was that the beads in her heart had already collapsed onto Zhao Beichen's face.
As expected, Zhao Beichen did not continue to ask questions. He just looked at her quietly with a smile.
She was anxious to respond, but Zhao Beichen was not in a hurry. He could just watch her quietly and see how she would make up stories.
Yan Ruyu turned her head quickly, trying to construct a false study plan for herself in her mind.
She quickly recalled her recent studies and tried to make up a seemingly reasonable study plan.
"Well, actually I'm not satisfied with Professor Zhao. I'm preparing for a mock exam at home."
"Oh? Why do you have this idea?" Zhao Beichen pretended to cooperate.
"Because, because I found that I am still a little weak in some subjects, so I decided to strengthen the study of these subjects."
"And I would spend some time doing questions every day after Professor Zhao left, in order to fill in the gaps and strive to get better grades in the exam."
What Yan Ruyu said was full of righteous indignation, and for a moment one could believe that what she said was true.
Zhao Beichen smiled slightly and looked at Yan Ruyu. He knew she was making it up, but he did not expose her.
On the contrary, he was very cooperative and said encouragingly, "What Miss Ruyu said sounds like a really good plan. Self-discovery and taking the initiative to strengthen the study of weak subjects can really improve your overall ability."
"Well, come on, Miss Ruyu. I believe you will achieve a very good result in the end."
Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly glad that Zhao Beichen believed the study plan she had made up.
But she quickly realized something.
[Wait, if I don’t do what I just said, Professor Zhao will soon find out that I was lying, right? Isn’t this just digging a huge hole for myself?! ]
