Chu Chu smiled helplessly, a faint arc on the corner of her mouth, responding to the doubts of the students around her: "Hi, I just met Professor Rong just now, just like you guys."
"But why does Professor Rong seem to be quite familiar with you and speaks to you in a friendly manner?" a female classmate asked curiously, her eyes full of confusion.
Chu Chu shrugged and retorted, "He was quite kind when he spoke to you. Professor Rong's face is really quite common. He looks the same to everyone."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately raised doubts: "Professor Rong's appearance is simply that of an immortal, and you actually said he has an ordinary face?"
"Exactly, what's your vision?"
"Just because you're good-looking doesn't mean you're more popular than others, right?"
Seeing Chu Chu being attacked, Song Nuan quickly stood up to defend her: "Ah, everyone has different aesthetic tastes, don't force consistency."
Chu Chu's big eyes rolled around twice, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Yes, yes, Professor Rong is really not my type. He's so old, I'm not interested in him at all."
After hearing this, some people nodded in understanding, while others continued to mutter quietly, obviously having reservations about Chu Chu's statement.
At this moment, the bell finally rang, breaking the noise in the classroom. Everyone returned to their seats and prepared to start class.
Song Nuan and Zhu Zhu sat on Chu Chu's left and right, respectively. The three of them huddled together, forming a small world. This class was about foreign trade, and the content was dull and uninteresting.
Song Nuan boredly wrote a note to Chuchu: "Chuchu, why do Su Rong and Professor Rong look so similar, and both have the character 'Rong' in their names? This is too coincidental."
Chu Chu took the note, took a look at it, and replied: "Who knows, maybe they really were a family eight hundred years ago."
Seeing this, Zhu Zhu also took the note and wrote, "Xiao Nuan, do you like Su Rong or Professor Rong? It's okay to like Su Rong, but don't forget that the school doesn't allow teacher-student relationships. Just a gentle reminder."
Chuchu handed the note back to Song Nuan. A flicker of discomfort crossed her face after she saw it. She thought for a moment and wrote, "I don't like anyone. I want to study hard and get a master's or doctorate degree in the future to bring honor to my family."
When Chuchu saw Song Nuan's reply, she couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Zhu also laughed.
After school, the three of them took Chuchu's car to the hospital to visit Zhao Qing. The bruises on Zhao Qing's face were no longer so obvious, and she seemed to have recovered well and could already move around slightly.
Song Nuan asked with concern: "Xiao Qingqing, have you called off your marriage with that scumbag?"
Zhao Qing nodded gently and said, "I've retired. We won't have any relationship anymore."
After hearing this, Song Nuan felt relieved: "What era is this? You still have to resort to arranged marriages. Breaking off the engagement is a good thing. Congratulations, Xiao Qingqing."
Zhao Qing also showed a long-lost smile and said, "Thank you for coming to see me. It's great to have you here."
The three of them sat around Zhao Qing's bed and chatted. Chuchu and Zhuzhu comforted Zhao Qing, telling her not to dwell on the past and to move forward. Song Nuan, on the other hand, tried to lighten the mood by making jokes.
Zhao Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to their words. She knew that with these good friends by her side, she could face any difficulties bravely.
After chatting for a while, the three decided to leave the hospital and let Zhao Qing have a good rest.
In the morning, when the hustle and bustle of the city gradually died down, Chuchu finished her simple dinner in the dormitory. As she had some urgent matters to deal with, she decided to go to her apartment. The environment there was relatively quiet, which was more suitable for her to concentrate on completing her work.
The apartment building was exceptionally quiet under the cover of night, broken only by the occasional sound of footsteps. Chuchu stepped out of the elevator and was about to open the door when she unexpectedly discovered Su Rong standing in the hallway not far away, seemingly waiting for something.
Chuchu's heart sank suddenly. She didn't want to have any interaction with Su Rong at this time, so she chose to turn a blind eye and pretended to be busy looking for the key, trying to avoid this unexpected "encounter".
However, Su Rong didn't seem to be planning to let her go easily. He followed her step by step, his face full of confusion and urgency. "Chu Chu, what happened last night keeps replaying in my mind. It feels like my memory has been erased. What happened? Why do I only lose those fragments of memory when I'm with you?"
Chu Chu stopped, crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes filled with impatience and indifference. "I explained it very clearly last night, Su Rong, why do you keep asking? What exactly do you want from me? Can you just be straightforward?"
Su Rong was obviously stunned by Chuchu's attitude, but he quickly mustered up his courage, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination: "Actually, Chuchu, I... I want to take you as my teacher. I see that you are always doing things to uphold justice and punish evil and promote good, and I think that's what I have always wanted to pursue. I want to learn your skills and work with you to slay demons and protect this world."
Chu Chu was stunned upon hearing this. Although she was a deity, possessing boundless power and wisdom, she had never considered taking in a disciple. In her world, the boundaries between humans and gods were clearly defined, each with their own responsibilities. How could she accept a disciple casually? Moreover, Su Rong was just an ordinary human, without immortal roots or magical powers. How could he possibly endure the hardships and dangers of slaying demons and monsters?
