But apart from her, almost all the girls screamed, "Here he comes! The new professor is here!"
"God, kill me! How can he be so handsome!"
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!" Li Xiaoxiao exclaimed, her excitement bordering on dynamism, as if she couldn't breathe.
Amidst the screams of the female students, the professor walked onto the podium, gracefully bowed slightly to everyone, and then introduced himself with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is... Yan Luoheng. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
"So handsome!!!" The screams grew even louder.
"He's much more handsome than in the photos!"
"The photo only showed her profile, but this is her full face, and she's a real person."
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die."
"Please tell me I'm not dreaming." Li Xiaoxiao grabbed Qiao Xi's hand, wanting to get a positive answer from her.
Qiao Xi, willing to grant her wish, raised her hand, wanting to slap her to let her know whether it was real or fake.
Unfortunately, just as Qiao Xi was about to help her verify, a classmate suddenly raised their hand and asked, "Professor Yan, how do you spell your name?"
Before the words were even finished, the classroom suddenly fell silent, as everyone seemed eager to know the answer to this question.
Professor Yan generously wrote his name on the blackboard: "My name."
The three characters 'Yan Luoheng' immediately appeared on the blackboard.
A female student raised her hand again and said, "Professor Yan, so that we can ask you for help with our studies in the future, could you please provide your contact information..."
“Of course.” Before she could finish speaking, Yan Luoheng understood what she meant and quickly wrote his contact information on the blackboard. “This is my contact information. Students, whether you have problems with your studies or in your daily life, you can contact me, but…”
He paused intentionally for a moment, then continued, "Don't come to me about relationship issues."
After he finished speaking, a captivating smile appeared on his lips, and the girls, mesmerized, started wailing and screaming again.
But Yan Luoheng quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "I have a girlfriend, and she gets very jealous. I don't want her to misunderstand me."
These words immediately plunged the classroom into a deathly silence.
When he spoke, his eyes deliberately looked in a certain direction, but it was not noticeable unless you looked closely.
Only Jun Jiuge, who was sitting in the last row, met his gaze, but her eyes were filled with anger as she looked back at him.
Qiao Xi also vaguely sensed something, but she wasn't sure.
After a moment of silence, one of the girls was the first to react, timidly asking, "Professor Yan, you have a girlfriend?!"
"Yes," Yan Luoheng readily admitted.
The excited screams just moments before instantly turned into mournful cries, "No way."
"How can he have a girlfriend?!" Li Xiaoxiao refused to accept this fact no matter what.
Qiao Xi quickly comforted her, saying, "Such a desirable woman, you can tell the chances of her being single are very low."
"Who said that? Handsome guys usually don't have girlfriends, like our school heartthrob Lu Mingxuan." Li Xiaoxiao suddenly blurted out the three words Qiao Xi least wanted to hear!
But she quickly denied it, saying, "No, he's not anymore. I heard a handsome young boy came to the first grade, and he's quite a sight to behold."
"How come I didn't know?" Qiao Xi said subconsciously.
She genuinely didn't know about this; she thought the school heartthrob was still that scumbag.
Li Xiaoxiao said without any surprise, "You've always been so out of touch with the world, of course you wouldn't know."
"Really?" Qiao Xi was unwilling to admit this 'cruel' fact.
"That's how I see it," Li Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Then, with a mournful look on her face, the short man muttered, "Suddenly, I think finding a little puppy wouldn't be so bad."
"Which puppy?" Qiao Xi asked curiously.
“Our new school heartthrob, Zhong Hanjie!” Li Xiaoxiao perked up immediately upon hearing this name.
"I'm afraid he's just a little wolfhound," Qiao Xi muttered to herself involuntarily.
She didn't say that to provoke Li Xiaoxiao; it was just something that came out of her mouth.
Li Xiaoxiao frowned instantly, looking at Qiao Xi with suspicion, "Didn't you say you didn't know?"
"I'm just guessing," Qiao Xi said seriously. "People are always deceived by appearances. From your description, I feel that the chances of him being a cute puppy are not high."
Li Xiaoxiao said indignantly, "You didn't even see it, so you have no right to speak."
"Ninth Master, what do you think?" Qiao Xi's eyes suddenly turned to Jun Jiuge.
Jun Jiuge's gaze was quite unpleasant, but at least she didn't ignore Qiao Xi. However, her answer was very cold: "I don't know."
From the moment Professor Yan entered until now, Jun Jiuge's expression has not been very pleasant, but she wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
But Li Xiaoxiao seemed to have noticed something too. Being a straightforward person, she asked directly, "Ninth Master, do you have a grudge against Professor Yan?"
This question really hit Qiao Xi where it hurts, but Jun Jiuge clearly didn't want to answer it.
Li Xiaoxiao, still unwilling to give up, said, "Your eyes are strangely scary."
While they were chatting, Yan Luoheng started his lecture, but Qiao Xi and the others weren't listening at all. Just then, Yan Luoheng called on Qiao Xi!
"The student in the last row, the one in the black shirt."
Qiao Xi wasn't the first to realize it. Under the watchful eyes of almost the entire class, she finally realized she had been called on and slowly stood up.
He responded awkwardly but politely, "Professor."
Holding a diamond model in his hand, Yan Luoheng asked Qiao Xi in a very kind manner, "Can you tell me how this diamond should be set to maximize its value?"
"It's about value, not aesthetics," Yan Luoheng emphasized deliberately.
After thinking for a couple of seconds, Qiao Xi opened her mouth and said, "Professor, I think aesthetics will affect value."
"Given two similar items, one that looks good and the other that doesn't, I believe most people would choose the one that looks good, which reflects the value of aesthetics."
"For example, I designed this diamond ring in two styles. The diamonds are the same size, but the cutting techniques are different, which directly leads to different values."
At this point, Qiao Xi no longer felt nervous at all. On the contrary, she was relaxed and quite confident. She even made a final summary, "And ultimately, what affects their value is the beauty of the cutting."
She said all she had to say. Although she didn't win applause from her classmates, they all stared at her in astonishment, which proved their admiration for her.
