Teacher's apartment!
Tang Shiying was getting ready to change her shoes and go out when she accidentally noticed a pair of men's shoes that didn't belong to her sitting on the shoe rack.
Remembering how Xu Han had bolted out last night!
There was no doubt about it—this was definitely that little fellow's!
The men's shoes were sitting right next to the ones she had slipped off her own feet last night.
Thinking back to last night, the scene of Xu Han helping her put on her slippers sent a slight flutter through her heart!
He looked so foolishly honest!
Inside the classroom!
Naturally, nobody dared to skip the glamorous counselor's class.
Even just catching a glimpse of the cold, stunning goddess on the podium made the class worth it!
"Tell me, how great would it be if we had the counselor's class every single day?"
Zhao Lefan stared intently at the podium with a deadpan expression.
The other three in his dorm didn't even bother to respond.
This guy was definitely not fully awake yet and was still dreaming!
Tang Shiying only held class once a week, and it was just for a homeroom meeting.
If she really taught every day, the students probably wouldn't want it either!
Not daring to cut class was a kind of torment for them, after all!
Throughout the entire class, Xu Han's gaze kept accidentally locking with Tang Shiying's line of sight.
Whenever that happened, she would quickly look away, though she managed to keep up a calm appearance on the surface.
Just as class was ending, Tang Shiying stopped lecturing and instead announced that the school would be holding a freshman welcome party. Every class needed to put on a performance, and she hoped everyone would actively sign up!
No one was particularly enthusiastic about this kind of event.
Finally, under heavy recommendation from class monitor Wang Ziheng, Xu Han was pushed forward to fill the quota!
The reason given was that he had sung quite well at the military training party and was very popular.
Xu Han glared at Wang Ziheng, repeatedly making it clear that he refused, but the latter acted completely oblivious.
"Bro, do me a favor. If you don't go, I'm going to have to go up there and perform 'breaking a boulder on my chest'!" Wang Ziheng pleaded in a low voice.
"Name your conditions, whatever you want. As long as I can provide it, I don't even mind warming your bed!"
Xu Han's heart softened. Who else could it be? He was his good son, so he just had to spoil him:
"Wash my socks for a whole semester!"
Wang Ziheng didn't even hesitate to nod and agree:
"Deal!"
A mischievous grin spread across Xu Han's face:
"Don't rush, I have one more request!"
"There's more?"
Wang Ziheng's tooth-gnashing expression brought great joy to the rest of the dorm.
"Speak?"
"Pick a female student from the class to sing a duet with me!"
While the two of them were whispering, Tang Shiying's voice rang out:
"Have you guys discussed it?"
Wang Ziheng looked up and instantly betrayed Xu Han, who had been his good brother just a second ago.
"Xu Han said that if we pick a girl from the class to sing with him, he'll do it!"
Once those words dropped, the entire classroom fell dead silent.
A massive social death scene!
Xu Han covered his face and lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Having a son like this is truly my greatest blessing!
Han Feifei turned her head to look over, a smug smile plastered across her face.
She assumed Xu Han's target was her.
Was he doing this to get a chance to spend time alone with her?
As the newly crowned campus belle, she was quite confident in her looks!
When she sent Xu Han a friend request on WeChat last time and he didn't accept, it was probably just playing hard to get!
Guys loved pulling that kind of stunt!
In her imagination, she was already picturing the two of them holding hands and singing on stage!
Tang Shiying's eyelids twitched. She hadn't realized this little fellow had so many sneaky tricks up his sleeve.
"Alright! I have no objections. I wonder which female student classmate Xu Han plans to invite to share the stage and sing with him?"
The gazes of all the female students converged on him, filled with anticipation and curiosity.
Feeling the scorching stares, Xu Han braced himself, raised his head, and looked up at the podium:
"I want to choose you, Teacher Tang. Is that okay?"
Meeting his gaze, Tang Shiying saw expectation, determination, and courage in his eyes!
He must have mustered up all his courage just to say those words, right?
Though her instinctive reaction was to refuse, this time she didn't say a thing!
The rest of the students in the class dropped their jaws in shock!
Nobody had expected Xu Han to pick Tang Shiying.
Everyone had assumed Han Feifei was the most likely candidate!
The moment Xu Han said he was choosing Teacher Tang, Han Feifei's expression turned instantly unsightly.
"Brother Han, you're still the man. I kneel in worship!"
His three roommates whispered softly among themselves.
"If the counselor agrees, breakfast is on me!"
"I'll wash your underwear for you!"
All eyes landed on Tang Shiying, waiting for her answer.
Tang Shiying stood on the podium with a blank expression.
"For the sake of collective honor, it looks like I have no choice but to agree with you?"
Xu Han let out a long sigh of relief and nodded gently.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I was worried I'd be too nervous, but having a teacher there will help me perform better!"
Xu Han realized he had been a bit too impulsive just now and had almost brought a disaster upon himself. Fortunately, Tang Shiying had used collective honor as an excuse to give him a graceful way out!
The bell for the end of class rang, and Tang Shiying quickly fled!
That's right, she fled...
The little fellow's behavior just now had been far too bold, and she had unconsciously felt a flutter in her chest.
Xu Han looked at his three roommates and smiled:
"Don't forget what you guys just said!"
Lin Jinghao quickly threw an arm around his shoulders.
"How about we renegotiate? Washing underwear doesn't really fit my status."
"What status do you have, my ass? Why don't you wash his socks too?" Wang Ziheng retorted irritably!
Xu Han looked at him with indignation:
"How do you even have the nerve to say that? The moment things started, you sold your brother out. I'm going to run a train over you when we get back!"
"Right! Run a train over him!"
Xu Han's words drew enthusiastic support from Zhao Lefan and Lin Jinghao!
"Xu Han, I have something to say to you!"
Before the chapter ended, Han Feifei suddenly appeared in front of the four of them.
Noticing she was looking for Xu Han, the other three very sensibly greased the bottoms of their feet and slipped away!
What happened to brotherly loyalty?
Xu Han sighed and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
Han Feifei raised her eyes to look at him and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you choose me?"
By this time, everyone who had class in the classroom had already left, and the hallway was practically deserted!
Xu Han was somewhat speechless; the person he wanted least to run into had shown up after all.
"Why would I choose you?"
Han Feifei was momentarily at a loss for words. She obviously couldn't just say she was pretty and the campus belle.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she stared at Xu Han as if she had suffered the greatest grievance in the world.
"Why did you reject my friend request!"
Xu Han was way too familiar with this routine—no one knew this expression, tone, and action better than him.
It was exacty the same as what he had experienced in his past life!
Xu Han let out a breath and said in an icy tone, "Eldest sister, why wouldn't I reject it? Who even are you?"
He showed no mercy whatsoever, not even caring about a girl's self-esteem!
There was no help for it; the bloody lesson was right before his eyes, and he had no intention of repeating his past mistakes!
"I like you!" Han Feifei said with reddened eyes, sounding thoroughly self-righteous.
Xu Han said helplessly, "If I remember correctly, this is our very first time meeting alone, right? Your affection is way too cheap."
His words were deeply hurtful; the blow to any girl would likely be devastating!
Standing in the hallway, Tang Shiying couldn't help but be startled when she heard this!
Ruthless!
She had actually wanted to find Xu Han and head to the office, but she had accidentally stumbled into this scene.
She admitted that she definitely hadn't intended to eavesdrop.
