Su Su was indeed not wrong.
In a school where most male teachers sported potbellies and bald spots, Teacher Liang, a young, unmarried, and handsome guy with a six-pack from orienteering, was exceptionally popular among the students, especially the girls.
If it weren’t for his extremely eccentric approach to teaching, orienteering would undoubtedly have become one of the most popular courses.
However, there were no ifs.
So despite the handsome guy being easy on the eyes, the students were still reluctant to subject themselves to torture.
When Su Su and Gu Shengyin arrived at the gathering place, there were still five minutes until class began, and most of their classmates were almost there; this class had one of the highest attendance rates in the whole school.
Su Su glanced at her watch: "Strange, it’s about time, why hasn’t Teacher Liang arrived yet?"
She suddenly exhibited a look of surprise: "Could it be he’s gotten held up with other classes and won’t be coming?"
Just as Gu Shengyin was about to say something, a commotion suddenly erupted from a group of girls not far away.
"What’s all the fuss about..." Su Su murmured as she looked over.
"Ahhhhh, Qingqing, look, a handsome guy!" Su Su suddenly whispered excitedly in a low voice.
Gu Shengyin followed her gaze.
A figure walked over bathed in sunlight.
In the late autumn weather, he wore a long, light gray coat that revealed his tall, slender figure.
As for the face that caused the girls to scream, Gu Shengyin thought for a moment, and using the trendiest youth literature adjectives, it would be "The sun pales next to his radiance, the wind stops at this moment, and everything else becomes merely a background behind him."
If Gu Shengyin had to describe it, it was: a very handsome man.
Su Su clutched her hand tightly, her eyes almost gleaming: "So handsome, so handsome..."
It took quite an effort for Gu Shengyin to pry her hand free; if she had kept going, her hand might have turned black and blue tomorrow.
As he reached the class gathering point, the bell for class rang.
"Hello, students, my name is Gu Yunke. Your Teacher Liang has some personal matters, so he asked me to temporarily replace him for a while."
His eyes and brows were so neat it was as if he had stepped out of a painting, and his voice when he spoke was so soothing it left people breathless.
Gu Shengyin heard the sound of a girl gasping behind him: "Oh my God, my ears are getting pregnant."
Gu Shengyin frowned, feeling the voice was familiar, yet in Qu Qing’s memories, there was no recollection of this man named Gu Yunke.
Could it be, because it was him, that there was a peculiar sense of familiarity?
Gu Shengyin dismissed the doubts in his mind.
The classmates began chatting amongst themselves, and some of the bolder ones asked the new teacher: "Hello Teacher Gu, what do you do? Is Teacher Liang okay? When will he be back?"
Gu Yunke maintained a smile in his reply: "Teacher Liang is representing the school on an international business trip for about a month. As for me, I was previously a second-level athlete, now a freelancer. Don’t worry, my being here is officially sanctioned by the school, I’m not undocumented~"
The playful upward inflection in his voice at the end was almost irresistibly enticing.
This teacher seemed very approachable.
Many students felt relieved.
However, it turned out, they celebrated too soon.
