Almost immediately, someone followed up with flattery, "Teacher, you’re so understanding and handsome, there are really too few teachers like you. It would be great if you really were a teacher at our school."
Gu Yunke simply smiled.
Su Su asked, "Teacher Gu, you mentioned earlier that you’re an international athlete. What kind of athlete are you?"
As soon as she said this, many girls looked over.
In their hearts, since Teacher Gu was so handsome, he must be a super cool athlete like a basketball player.
Gu Yunke replied, "Swimming."
Su Su tugged at the sleeve of Shengyin on her other side and made a gesture indicating abs. They say swimmers have really great physiques.
Suddenly, Gu Yunke said, "When I saw you all running, you were all panting. You must exercise very little usually, right?"
Not just a little—they basically don’t exercise at all.
At this time, Shengyin was pulled out to represent them.
"Well, that’s not necessarily true. Just look at Qingqing. Although she’s small and thin, she’s a fierce competitor who can run three thousand meters in the school sports meet!" The surrounding girls all nodded in agreement, feeling sorry for Qu Qing. She looked so delicate, yet she contained such explosive strength.
"Oh?" Gu Yunke shifted his gaze onto Shengyin with a smile and said, "I really couldn’t tell."
Shengyin looked embarrassed, "I just run a bit more than usual."
"It’s more than just running..." As her roommate, Su Su began to babble about how Qu Qing insists on an hour of yoga every day, and makes sure to stand for at least half an hour each day, unintentionally spilling all the beans.
Gu Yunke listened attentively, looking uninterested, but he was actually making a mental note of her small habits.
Initially, Shengyin was a bit unclear about his intentions for being there, but watching Su Su, who couldn’t keep her mouth shut, sell her out in an instant, she began to roughly understand what he was up to.
Was he taking a roundabout approach to inquire about her?
By the end of the class, Gu Yunke was quite satisfied and feeling generous, he didn’t even call the roll before dismissing the class.
Shengyin was pulled by Su Su, and the two went to a seafood hotpot restaurant they both really liked.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunke left the school, got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and his phone rang.
It was his good friend Liang Ze, the P.E. teacher he was substituting for.
"Tell me, Gu Yunke, why did you insist that I go on this trip, taking on the trouble of substituting? Now I’m enjoying good food and drink here,—how enjoyable is substituting for you?" There was a bit of schadenfreude in his voice.
His friend had taken the initiative to contact him, saying his orienteering course sounded interesting and the school was arranging for a teacher to travel, so he could help him get the spot and he would substitute for him.
Who didn’t know that this trip was just about sitting through a couple of unimportant meetings in another place, with the rest of the time spent enjoying food and drink?
Gu Yunke couldn’t comprehend what Gu Yunke was thinking, but of course, for such a thing, Liang Ze would never refuse.
Gu Yunke smiled and replied, "I feel pretty good."
"Pretty good?" Liang Ze was skeptical and then suddenly had a flash of insight, "You sly dog, don’t tell me you’ve got your eye on one of the girls in my class, and that’s why you’re scheming to get close?"
Gu Yunke didn’t answer, but countered, "Do I look like that kind of person?"
Liang Ze paused, then realizing, of course, someone like Gu Yunke always had beauties chasing after him. Was there really any girl worth him going to such lengths?
