33: Chapter 33 The so-called loss for words, the so-called timidity_1 33: Chapter 33 The so-called loss for words, the so-called timidity_1 Chen Xianyu was Gu Nanxi’s college homeroom teacher and taught her courses such as “Modern Chinese”, “Ancient Chinese”, and “Introduction to Literature”!
He has been a teacher for several years and has performed well, so the leadership of both his department and the school value him highly.
His extensive exposure to various significant figures through accompanying school leaders has broadened his experience.
But at this particular moment, facing Lu Yinchu, he felt a hint of trepidation!
He is no stranger to Lu Yinchu, both the genius youth of his student days at school and the legendary figure in the business world now.
Yinchu has always had an irresistible magnetism that hasn’t changed over time.
He opened his mouth, intending to say or ask something, but he had no idea where to start.
Perhaps the man’s face was too aloof, exuding a serene yet slightly cold atmosphere.
It made him feel somewhat unworthy of upsetting the tranquility.
This is what it feels like to be at a loss for words, for his courage to fail.
He was experiencing them all now!
“I would like to know what Nanxi was like in school, the expression she must have had in class, when she was late, answering questions, or revealing disappointment when wanting to answer questions but constantly being overlooked…”
After the man finished speaking, in a moist voice, he slightly lifted his eyes, looking at Chen Xianyu opposite him.
His lips curved upwards, “Do you remember, Teacher Chen?
How much do you remember?
Chen Xianyu was obviously taken aback.
When he was called to meet the principal in his office around eleven, he had wondered what had happened.
He discovered that there was an extraordinary VIP who wanted to see him, someone related to Gu Nanxi…
He couldn’t think of how he could have possibly offended Gu Nanxi.
But he did have a good memory of this student, a deep-seated one at that!
Now, hearing the cool-faced man talk about a woman with warmth coming into his eyes, Chen had a rough idea of what was going on.
He pressed his lips together, then began to speak, “Gu Nanxi was our class study committee member.
In fact, her grades were very good.
I had wanted her to be the Deputy Class Leader or Youth League Secretary, but her personality is slightly aloof, and she keeps a low profile in her interactions with classmates.
She is truly a child who loves studying.
I didn’t want to occupy much of her leisure time, but I also hoped that her passion for study could influence her classmates.
Therefore, I made her the study committee member.
It was a rather casual position…”
The man across him blinked, and then nodded, “That’s a good idea.
That position suits her!”
“Gu Nanxi is a very obedient girl, but she has had instances of truancy, skipping classes, and lateness.
She wasn’t particularly active in answering questions during class.
When other students were all eager to answer, she would remain silent.
It was usually when everyone had finished answering that I would ask ‘Does anyone have a different opinion?’, the one who stood up then was often her…”
Chen Xianyu laughed, “I remember this one time, during a “Foreign Literature” class.
Perhaps the subject didn’t interest her much.
Sitting by the window, she fell asleep.
I intentionally wanted to give her a hard time by asking a question and calling on her.
It wasn’t that I wanted to embarrass her but rather give her a mild lesson.
After all, I was her homeroom teacher, and no student would dare sleep in my class, except her.
But to my surprise, not only did she give the correct answer, but she also included her own ideas into the answer, which was quite insightful that it took me by surprise!”
When Chen Xianyu finished speaking and lifted his gaze to meet the man’s deep and cold eyes, he felt a jolt in his heart.
He pursed his lips and closed his mouth.
