"Ah? Chen... Chen," the female classmate said as she spotted her, thinking of the rumor that she ran faster than a rabbit.
From a distance, Su Huai’an helplessly held his forehead. He somewhat didn’t want to admit he was looking for her. Could he pretend not to know her?
"Hello, Professor Su," Chen Huaying greeted Su Huai’an confidently.
Though they were from the same General Union Courtyard and hadn’t seen each other much before, due to Sheng Ning, they had interacted a few times later. Whether they were the younger generation or the elders, greeting each other was the most basic etiquette.
Su Huai’an subtly nodded, watching Chen Huaying for a while without saying a word.
Chen Huaying felt uneasy under his gaze. Why were his eyes so strange? Forget it, she’d better scram! With this time, she might as well go to Qianjin Dance Troupe and stare at Bai Tian’e! She and Su Huai’an were not in the same league anyhow; even if they both came from the General Union Courtyard, they were worlds apart, with no intersection.
Without a second thought, Chen Huaying turned her head and briskly passed by Su Huai’an, heading toward the direction of Qianjin Dance Troupe.
"Wait a second!" Su Huai’an couldn’t help but call out to her.
"What’s the matter?" He’s acting very strange today!
"Where are you going?"
Su Huai’an showed a knowing expression; if it weren’t for Ningning, he definitely wouldn’t have meddled. "What are you going to Qianjin for?"
Chen Huaying hesitated for a long moment, really not willing to disclose her true intent, mumbling after a while, "I’m just doing what everyone else is doing."
"Everyone else is going to see the beauty," Su Huai’an said with a deeper meaning.
However, Chen Huaying didn’t catch the hint in his words, chuckling, "So am I!" Strange! Su Huai’an isn’t the type who talks a lot. What’s with him today? It’s so abnormal. "Professor Su, are you alright? If you’re fine, I need to go! I’m in a rush."
Su Huai’an grabbed Chen Huaying, preventing her from leaving.
"Let go." Chen Huaying struggled desperately, but couldn’t break free, eventually turning to look at him with a strange expression. It was impossible to tell—Su Huai’an, usually so genteel, had such strong physical strength, and even his stance was surprisingly stable.
"You’re not allowed to go, understand?" Su Huai’an commanded irritably. He hadn’t imagined that Chen Huaying’s sexual orientation really was problematic. That absolutely couldn’t be allowed; he must correct her orientation. He couldn’t let her keep running to places populated with women.
Considering they were from the same courtyard and the families had a good relationship, Su Huai’an’s sense of responsibility surged.
"You didn’t take the wrong medicine today, did you?"
Su Huai’an slapped Chen Huaying on the head—it didn’t hurt, but it was unexpected and left her disoriented. It took her a moment to come to her senses. If it had been someone else, she would have slapped them immediately, but facing Su Huai’an, she really didn’t dare.
The Su Family, a bunch of sly foxes—she definitely couldn’t afford to offend them.
"Where? Where? You better let go." Su Huai’an was strong, and his grip was painful. All along the way, Chen Huaying screamed and howled, attracting stunned stares from passing students, teachers, and officers who were unsure whether to pity the Professor or the latest troublemaker.
Once they were gone, people dared to whisper among themselves.
"Wow! The new troublemaker ended up in Professor Su’s hands; she’s doomed now!"
"Doomed my ass—I wish I’d ended up in Professor Su’s hands! But alas, no such luck."
