Seeing his senior burst into laughter, Lin Chen was a little confused, but he quickly understood. It was probably because Jiang Jiahan had recently become famous and had become a celebrity at the school.
"As a professor at the music academy, it's not unreasonable for her to come out and greet the new students, is it?" Lin Chen said casually.
Seeing Lin Chen's seemingly indifferent expression, the senior student lost his temper and said with a smile, "Does your classmate not go online often? Do you know that Professor Jiang Jiahan is now a celebrity at our school? Listen, they're playing Professor Jiang's work on the radio right now! So, you asked her to pick you up?"
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had also noticed that the song playing on the school's loudspeaker was "The Eighth Chapter of the Night," which he had written for Jiang Jiahan. It had already garnered over 30 million views online.
Just then, some other people from the Physical Education Department saw that the senior had returned empty-handed and curiously gathered around.
"What's wrong, senior? Why are you back again? Isn't he from our physical education department?" a boy asked curiously. He was the senior's roommate.
"More than that? That kid is from the music department. Do you know what he told me? He said that Professor Jiang Jiahan from the music department would come to pick him up! Hahaha!" The senior was already laughing so hard he couldn't stop.
"What? This kid is too arrogant!" Upon hearing this, the others also scoffed.
"Exactly! They even had our Goddess Jiang pick him up? Who does he think he is?"
"Ever since Jiang Jiahan's 'The Eighth Chapter of the Night' became a hit, it's said that she's rarely come to school anymore, as if she's devoted herself entirely to running her father's entertainment company. Now, seeing her is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
As everyone was discussing this, suddenly, a beautiful figure came into view, and her perfect figure and face instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A pink vest, snow-white shorts, and her bare, white neck and arms shimmered dazzlingly in the summer sun, while her shapely, long legs were simply irresistible.
But more importantly, her flawless face and flowing hair made her look like an angel descended to earth.
"Jiang Jiahan?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"It really is Professor Jiang! What brings her here today?"
"Could it be that the freshman was right? Jiang Jiahan came to greet him personally?!"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, their eyes fixed on that angelic figure.
Jiang Jiahan smiled gently, like a spring breeze, and quickened her pace, almost jogging. Following her gaze, everyone saw the figure of a boy.
Could it be... that boy is Lin Chen?!
A group of boys secretly gasped inwardly, casting envious glances at each other, but could only watch helplessly as the school's universally acknowledged goddess teacher, that multi-talented and beautiful woman, took the initiative to approach the man, and her proactive attitude was astonishing.
...
"Boss, why are you so late?" Jiang Jiahan had already arrived and had been patiently waiting for Lin Chen's arrival. Upon seeing Lin Chen, she immediately jogged over to greet him.
"We encountered some minor setbacks along the way, so..." Lin Chen was about to explain when he caught a glimpse of a playful smile in Jiang Jiahan's eyes.
“No need to explain, my dear Boss Lin, I saw it all,” Jiang Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? What did you see?" Lin Chen asked, looking surprised.
"You've already pulled off a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act on the first day of school, making the beauty throw herself into your arms. You're really something!" Jiang Jiahan's words were tinged with a hint of teasing.
At this moment, Lin Chen deeply realized how fast gossip news spreads, which was simply astonishing.
"Professor Jiang, things are not as you think..." Lin Chen tried to explain.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to explain to me. Save your energy and go explain to your Snow White!" Jiang Jia said with a smile, a sly glint in her eyes.
"Snow White?" Lin Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and then looked in the direction Jiang Jiahan pointed. He saw another princess-like figure appear at the school gate.
With her appearance, the number of male onlookers immediately increased to another level, and everyone cast their burning gazes at her.
"Ning Jiaqi?! What's she doing here?"
Lin Chen was startled. He had clearly spoken with Ning Tao, and Ning Tao had agreed to let Ning Jiaqi come to school to register tomorrow. So why did she suddenly appear today?
Clearly, this unexpected situation caught Lin Chen off guard. Ning Jiaqi, upon seeing Lin Chen, didn't give him a friendly look either, instead glaring at Jiang Jiahan beside him with hostile eyes.
"Hello, Ning Jiaqi, welcome to the School of Music at Haizhou University. I am Jiang Jiahan, an associate professor at the School of Music." Jiang Jiahan greeted Ning Jiaqi warmly.
Ning Jiaqi wasn't very enthusiastic; she cleverly squeezed between Lin Chen and Jiang Jiahan, separating them.
"Jiaqi, what brings you here?" Lin Chen asked, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Interesting. I'm also a student at Haizhou University. Why can't I come? Or are you saying I'm not welcome and have interrupted your good time?"
Ning Jiaqi's sharp tongue was never one to hold back, and her words made Lin Chen even more embarrassed.
If he had known Ning Jiaqi would be coming today, he definitely wouldn't have asked Jiang Jiahan to pick him up. Luckily, Yang Meixi had already been sent away; otherwise, if that crazy "brother-in-law" had interfered again, things would have been truly beyond repair.
Fortunately, Jiang Jiahan was quite well-mannered and didn't bother arguing with Ning Jiaqi. She even tried to find an excuse to leave first.
The onlookers were now gritting their teeth, their anger directed at Lin Chen. What did this new student have that made him so special that the school's most popular online celebrity professor had personally come to pick him up? And right behind him was an angelic little princess, vying for his attention!
Is this guy here to cause trouble? The physical education students are already itching to get started.
"Alright, alright, I won't bother you two any longer. I have to go now," Jiang Jia said with a smile, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Who says he's a couple! He's dreaming!" Ning Jiaqi glanced at Lin Chen beside her with a haughty expression, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Lin Chen could only go to see Jiang Jiahan off first, and then come back to coax Ning Jiaqi.
"Sure, Master, it seems you prefer older women, right? Or do you just like being a teacher? If that's the case, should I take the teacher's qualification exam?" Ning Jiaqi's sarcasm arrived as expected, leaving Lin Chen somewhat helpless.
"Stop fooling around, Jiaqi. I already talked to your father, and he clearly said you wouldn't be released until tomorrow. Why are you here today?" Lin Chen tried to change the subject.
"Because I'm being a jerk, okay? I can't wait a moment longer to see someone, okay? But unfortunately, it seems like that person doesn't welcome me! Anyway, he's never short of beautiful women around him, right?" Ning Jiaqi's words were tinged with a hint of resentment and jealousy.
"Um... Jiaqi, I know a really good beef noodle shop around here. You must be hungry, right? How about I treat you to something there?"
At this moment, Lin Chen could only try to soothe Ning Jiaqi's emotions by changing the subject and offering her food, especially since there were so many students around them eyeing him with predatory intent, their gazes seeming as if they wanted to devour him alive!
Fortunately, Ning Jiaqi didn't delve any deeper into the matter and actually went with Lin Chen to try the famous beef noodle shop. However, things are unpredictable; coincidentally, they ran into the senior student who had mocked Lin Chen with Yang Meixi earlier that day at the same shop.
The senior student's gaze darted back and forth between Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi, her expression shifting dramatically, making for a captivating sight. Once the two were seated, Ning Jiaqi finally became serious and asked, "How did you talk to my father?"
Lin Chen answered seriously, "I promised him that I would complete my goal within two years, and then he would allow you to marry me."
Hearing this, Ning Jiaqi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, smiling shyly. But she quickly composed herself and said coquettishly, "Pah! Don't even think about it! Who said I wanted to marry you?"
Lin Chen chuckled and said confidently, "This isn't up to you to decide. Your father and I have already reached an agreement!"
