The episode of meeting Liu Ruoyun did not have any impact on Lin Dan's campus life. The knowledge of the Department of Entomology was too useful for her, and she began a new round of study eagerly. That day, she walked into the classroom, only to find that the podium was surrounded by people. A man was talking to a group of students with his head down. His face could not be seen clearly, and it seemed that he was a new lecturer.
"Lin Dan, sit here, I've saved a seat for you." A chubby girl raised her hand and shouted.
Lin Dan walked over and took out a matcha cake from his schoolbag. The girl happily took the cake and ate it while whispering, "See? That's our new instructor. He will teach the course 'General Entomology' from now on. You don't know, he is so versatile. He also teaches courses in the history department. He is a star lecturer in the history department. Look at our big classroom. It was empty before, but now it is full of people. They are all his fans who came here because of his reputation. He is so handsome, so handsome that it makes people angry!"
The girl waved her chubby little fists with an excited expression.
Lin Dan looked around and found that the classroom was indeed full. He turned to look at the podium and was stunned.
The man surrounded by his classmates raised his head, revealing a handsome and charming face. Dark red teardrop moles fell at the corners of his eyes, making him look particularly melancholy and mysterious. His appearance was extremely aggressive and instantly took away the breath of the people around him. When he pursed his thin lips and smiled, Lin Dan actually heard the swallowing sounds of the people around him.
He took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and put them on his high nose bridge. His melancholy temperament was instantly replaced by gentleness. He used a marker to write two large characters on the blackboard, and chuckled, "My name is Zhou Xuan, and I'm your new lecturer. Teacher Song is unwell and in the hospital. Until he recovers, I will be teaching the course General Entomology."
Some students cheered, some wailed. Some cheered because the teacher was so handsome, some wailed because the teacher was only temporary and would leave sooner or later.
Zhou Xuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then took out the roll call book and said in a very magnetic voice: "Okay, class time is up, I'll call the roll, Ning Tao, Xu Hui..." He called the names one by one without raising his head, and drew a check mark for the students who answered, and a cross for the students who did not answer after being called three times. When he saw the familiar name, he finally raised his head, looked straight at it, and said, "Lin Dan." It seemed that he had kept these two words in his mouth for too long, and when he spit them out, there was still a hint of indescribable warmth.
"Here." Lin Dan raised his hand with no expression on his face.
Zhou Xuan stared at her for a long time, then lowered his head and clicked on a name. He didn't give any extra glances until he had called on all the classmates' names. His discriminatory treatment was so obvious that the people sitting around Lin Dan began to whisper among themselves.
"Lin Dan, do you know Teacher Zhou?" the fat girl asked in a low voice.
"I know him." Lin Dan opened the book without further explanation.
Everyone around her knew that she was an icy beauty who didn't like to talk, so the gossip would stop after a while. Handsome men and beautiful women always have their own magnetic field and attract each other. Mortals like them can only watch with envy, but jealousy is useless.
Lin Dan was not interested in Zhou Xuan's sudden appearance. As long as he had no intention of hurting her, she could completely ignore his existence. She had originally prepared to waste a class, but she didn't expect that Zhou Xuan's lectures were so wonderful. He combined theory with practice and explained them one by one in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Even people with no basic knowledge would not feel that they could not understand.
She gradually became fascinated by what was being said, looking up at Zhou Xuan from time to time, and then lowering her head to take notes from time to time.
Zhou Xuan seemed to enjoy Lin Dan's gaze and his expression was always happy. He taught two classes in a row and even forgot to let the students take a fifteen-minute break in between. Fortunately, he is handsome, so everyone can forgive his negligence. At the end of the second class, he took out a half-foot-long white fleshy worm and introduced it: "Okay, today I will show you my collection. This is the larva of the stag beetle, commonly known as the stag beetle. It is very precious. Who wants to touch it with their own hands?"
The girls covered their mouths and screamed, and the boys were a little discouraged.
The insect was so fat that it was half the size of Zhou Xuan's palm. At this moment, it was holding its head high and shaking its tail vigorously. It looked very aggressive and disgusting.
A few students who were more knowledgeable whispered, "Teacher Zhou is really rich! This kind of insect sells for 50,000 to 90,000 US dollars each on the market, which is equivalent to 300,000 or 400,000 RMB, enough to buy a car!"
"Damn, insects that cost hundreds of thousands? These people are crazy!" Many people expressed their incomprehension, but in the eyes of people who love insects, they are priceless treasures. Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even if they are millions, they will still be bought, like Lin Dan.
At this moment, she raised her hand high, her voice carrying a rare eagerness: "Teacher Zhou, can you let me take a look?"
Zhou Xuan adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose to hide the triumphant smile in his eyes. He walked to Lin Dan and said in a very low voice: "Student Lin likes bugs?"
"I like it." Lin Dan stared at the other person, with a pair of white hands spread out in front of him, as if urging him to hand over the insect quickly.
Zhou Xuan chuckled twice, then put the twisting big insect into her hand and casually fiddled with the insect's tail.
Lin Dan held the insect carefully in one hand and stroked its back back and forth with the other hand, with a happy expression on his face. I don't know what she was thinking about, but she actually stuck out her tongue and licked her pink lips.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Xuan's eyes darkened, and the corners of his slightly curved lips slowly straightened. The predatory nature hidden under his elegant appearance finally showed up. "I have a lot of insects there, all of which are rare species that are hard to find on the market. If you like them, I can lend them to you to have a look." He said temptingly.
Lin Dan shook her head and was about to refuse, but she fainted without warning. The bug fell from her fingertips to the ground, half dead.
Zhou Xuan picked up Lin Dan and ran towards the parking lot, crushing a bug in a panic.
Someone screamed, "Teacher Zhou, you stepped on the bug to death!"
Zhou Xuan ignored him and instead sped up. This was the first time he understood what fear and panic were. Seeing Lin Dan closing his eyes and losing his vitality rapidly, he simply wanted to kill someone!
“Oh my god, hundreds of thousands of dollars are gone just like that! Teacher Zhou, didn’t you even lower your head to take a look? It won’t be too late for you to pick up the insect first and then go hug Lin Dan!” A boy knelt beside the dead insect and wailed.
"What do you know? Of course a beauty is more valuable than a bug. No wonder you have been single since birth." His roommate teased.
No one was worried about Lin Dan. They just thought she had low blood sugar or dysmenorrhea. After all, life is not a movie. There are not so many beautiful women dying from terminal illnesses. But Lin Dan's condition was not optimistic. Not long after she was sent to the hospital, her thick hair quickly turned dry and yellow and fell off, and her plump cheeks became sunken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was right beside her and drew a magic circle on her forehead with blood, retaining the last bit of life in her.
Two hours later, Lin Dan woke up, looked at his skinny hands, and said with difficulty: "What's wrong with me?"
"Someone cast a spell and robbed you of your vitality. Don't worry, when I find that person, I will make sure to kill him!" Zhou Xuan smiled sinisterly, then held Lin Dan's hand, which was so thin that only bones were left, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you will be fine as long as I am here."
Lin Dan touched the burning magic circle on his forehead and continued, "You saved me?"
Zhou Xuan kissed the back of her hand gently without saying anything.
"I can handle this matter myself, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Dan tried to pull his hand back, but he had no strength.
Zhou Xuan suddenly laughed softly and said nostalgically: "You are still so stubborn."
"I'm not stubborn, I just hope to take revenge with my own hands." Lin Dan said calmly.
"Okay, I don't care about this." Zhou Xuan had no way to deal with her and could only compromise.
Lin Dan looked at him quietly for a while and asked, "Is this your original body? You are resurrected? The Taoist bone that Ai Yu took away back then was yours, right? Where did she go?"
"It's rare that you care about me." Zhou Xuan put her palm on his face and said with a smile: "Yes, after getting the Taoist bone back, I reshaped this body. Ai Yu helped me a lot after all, so I replaced her with a pretty good Taoist bone and let her fend for herself. I don't know where she is now, but your old friend Zhou Nan has been looking for her."
"You know what?" He gently kissed Lin Dan's pale palm and murmured, "I like the way you are now, well-behaved, cute, and won't resist."
Lin Dan didn't have the strength to pull her hand back and could only glare at him fiercely.
Zhou Xuan chuckled again, "I also like the way you look at me straight."
Lin Dan immediately closed her eyes and didn't look at him. After a while, she felt a burst of hot air blowing on her face. She opened her eyes quickly, but Zhou Xuan, who was very close to her, kissed her on the tip of her nose. "You have a good rest. I'll go check who did it."
"No need, I can probably guess who it is." Lin Dan said calmly.
Zhou Xuan raised one eyebrow, waiting for the next words, but saw a tall and strong man forcefully push open the door and run in, his head and face covered in cold sweat, "Dandan, are you okay? I heard that you fainted in class, and I was scared to death! Where is the doctor, did he say what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine," Lin Dan lifted the quilt, stretched out his hands, and said as a matter of course: "Gao Shukai, I want to be discharged from the hospital, you carry me home immediately."
"No, you should stay in the hospital for observation for a while." Gao Shukai refused firmly.
"If I don't go home, I will definitely die tonight. I'm not sick, I'm under a spell." Lin Dan whispered in his ear.
Gao Shukai's face suddenly changed. He immediately carried her on his back and walked out quickly. The doctor and nurse saw him and tried to stop him, but they were all pushed away by him forcefully.
Zhou Xuan leaned against the door, staring at the two people's receding backs with dark eyes. After just a few words and interactions, he had already seen that Lin Dan had great trust in and dependence on Gao Shukai. He had thought she wouldn't open up to anyone, but it turned out he was wrong. She could be softened, but it was difficult and required a lot of patience. He was the person closest to her, but he lost the most precious opportunity.
If time could go back, would he still watch Lin Dan struggle on the brink of death? The answer to the question had already emerged in his aching heart.
