Wu Yili's gaze landed on Ge Dongxu for an instant, and she visibly froze, the smile on her face clearly stiffening.
In that mont, the image of the mountain boy's naive and sincere smile, along with his dark and clear eyes, surfaced in her mind, gradually overlapping with the boy sitting not far away, smiling at her.
"Ge Dongxu!" Wu Yili almost exclaid in surprise, but ultimately restrained her excitent, nodding subtly at Ge Dongxu before picking up the roll call list.
Because they hadn't seen each other in three years, Ge Dongxu had changed quite a bit, making her feel a sense of unfamiliarity, and that incident from back then was too embarrassing to ntion. She feared if she spoke up and Ge Dongxu didn't have a sense of propriety, or if he still naively called her "Sister Yili", it would be incredibly awkward.
"As this is the first class, and since I'm not yet familiar with everyone, I'll take roll call to get to know you. I won't be taking attendance in the future because you are all adults now and should know what to do and what not to do. I hope that unless there are special circumstances, you will attend every class and learn inorganic chemistry well. Let's start with roll call." Next, Wu Yili began calling roll, and her voice noticeably changed slightly when she called Ge Dongxu's na.
After roll call, Wu Yili began the formal lesson.
It wasn't the first ti Wu Yili had taught inorganic chemistry to students, which usually felt very natural, but this ti, as she turned to write formulas on the blackboard with chalk, she distinctly felt a bit uncomfortable, as if the beauty of her skirt-wrapped hips was sohow peculiar.
It seed as though there were clairvoyant eyes watching her hips from behind.
There were two inorganic chemistry classes in the afternoon, with about ten minutes' break in between.
The break naturally wasn't as serious as the class ti; Sun Wenjun, already acquainted with Wu Yili, took advantage of this to approach her with a question about the material.
Although Wu Yili was dying to acknowledge Ge Dongxu, the timing wasn't right, so she kept her composure, answering Sun Wenjun's question with a smile and even chatted with him for a bit, which made Sun Wenjun feel particularly honored.
When Sun Wenjun stepped away, he specifically glanced at Ge Dongxu, Lu Lei, and the others, his look brimming with a boastful and provocative air.
After Sun Wenjun stepped away, Wu Yili needed to use the restroom, so she left the classroom.
Once Wu Yili left, the male students in the classroom erupted into discussion.
"Class rep, you're amazing, being able to chat with Professor Wu."
"I get so nervous just seeing her! Wouldn't have the courage to go up and talk to her, but Sun Wenjun's got guts!"
"What's the big deal! After we get more used to the classes, I even plan to ask her out for dinner!" Sun Wenjun said with a self-satisfied expression.
"Pfft! What's so impressive about that! If it weren't for the fact that I'm an English major and it's not convenient for to approach Professor Wu, it wouldn't be his turn." Lv Chongliang saw Sun Wenjun's smug look and couldn't help but mutter disdainfully.
"Exactly, just a casual chat, right? Let's see if Professor Wu takes the initiative to talk to him! Now that would truly be sothing," Li Chenyu and the others joined in.
In the midst of the conversation, Wu Yili returned to the classroom.
As she entered, Wu Yili subconsciously glanced toward Ge Dongxu before heading to the lectern.
"Have you noticed, Professor Wu always seems to look our way. Could she have noticed ? Is it possible I really stand out that much, a crane among chickens, enough to draw attention at a glance?" Lv Chongliang whispered.
"It's probably not that. Lv, you might be good with won, but to be honest, you're quite average looking. I bet it's because of Lu Lei, this handso face of his with a 'plaster' stuck on it—it'd be hard not to draw attention," Li Chenyu whispered back.
"Damn, can't you be a bit more tactful? What do you an 'quite average'? With your looks, you'll never get a girl in your life!" Lv Chongliang shot Li Chenyu a disdainful look.
"Alright, class is starting," Ge Dongxu nudged Lv Chongliang with his elbow, amused and resigned.
He knew best, after all!
With a beautiful teacher, the class ti always seed to fly by. Soon, the second class also ended.
Everyone began to pack up their books, ready to leave after Professor Wu departed. Just at that mont, Wu Yili suddenly turned toward Ge Dongxu and spoke, "Ge Dongxu, co out with for a walk. I have sothing to tell you."
The classroom instantly quieted down, and everyone's gaze shifted toward Ge Dongxu as if they had seen a ghost.
What was going on here? Professor Wu had actually singled out Ge Dongxu!
Yet, Ge Dongxu seed quite calm, as if he had anticipated this. He stood up, nodded, and said okay, then took his books and followed Wu Yili out of the classroom.
Watching Ge Dongxu and Professor Wu leave one after the other, and even quickly becoming side by side, their graceful figures gradually disappearing from everyone's view, was sothing to behold.
The previously quiet classroom suddenly erupted.
"Holy shit!"
"Oh my God!"
"That's fucking aweso, man! Singled out by Professor Wu on the first day of class to go for a walk! Is this like a date or what?"
"Damn, can soone tell what the hell is going on?"
"This is Professor Wu initiating contact with Ge Dongxu. Sun Wenjun is nothing compared to him!"
"..."
The classroom was in chaos, Sun Wenjun's face going from white to red, his earlier pride vanishing without a trace, even feeling sowhat clownish.
"No wonder, earlier Professor Wu kept glancing over here. It turns out she was looking at Ge Dongxu!"
"Damn, this guy is really good at keeping a low profile!"
"Master! A true master!"
"What exactly is his relationship with Professor Wu? No way, I absolutely must interrogate him thoroughly when he cos back in the afternoon!"
Li Chenyu and his group were slower to react than the others, taking a while to seem as if they had just co back to their senses, their faces full of shock and gossip, and of course, a sense of pride by association.
"There are too many prying eyes here, let's leave campus and walk by Mingyue Lake," Wu Yili suggested in a low voice outside the classroom, feeling inexplicably nervous as many teachers and students looked at her and Ge Dongxu all along the way.
After speaking, Wu Yili felt her cheeks getting hot, and she was sowhat overwheld.
Wasn't it normal for a teacher to talk to a student? What was all this about there being too many prying eyes or not?
However, having already spoken, Wu Yili naturally couldn't take her words back, or it would seem even more like she was feeling guilty.
"Okay, Teacher Wu," Ge Dongxu nodded. He didn't like receiving so much attention from teachers and students, and he hadn't thought too much about it.
The two left the campus and then hailed a taxi.
Ge Dongxu initially wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Wu Yili suddenly reached out and pulled him slightly, whispering, "Sit with , I have quite a few questions I want to ask you."
Wu Yili's hand was very soft, and Ge Dongxu's heart inexplicably skipped a beat, then he followed her into the back seat of the car.
