The class meeting procedures were concluded!
As monitor, Wang Ziheng created a new group chat, and all the freshmen of Screenwriting Class 2 joined, along with their aloof and glamorous counselor, of course!
"Tang Shiying has joined the group chat..."
As soon as this message appeared, the boys went wild and began sending WeChat friend requests proactively!
The result? All of them were rejected!
Tang Shiying: "If you need anything, just look for me in the group chat. Call me in an emergency!"
With a single sentence, she extinguished everyone's delusions!
After all, things like "teacher-student romances" were more common in movies; in reality, they were bound to be criticized.
As a teacher, she naturally had to be on her guard against such things.
Xu Han picked up his military training uniform and walked out of the classroom.
Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind: "Xu Han!"
He turned around to see a young woman standing before him.
"Are you calling me?"
"Yes, I'm also from Qizhou, Qizhou No. 4 High School, Ye Xiaowen!"
Xu Han was momentarily stunned—so she was a fellow hometown native!
"Qizhou No. 4 High School, Xu Han!"
"What a coincidence, we went to the same school?"
Ye Xiaowen was somewhat surprised. She didn't harbor any ulterior motives toward Xu Han; she simply felt a sense of kinship upon meeting a fellow townsman and wanted to get acquainted.
Never had she imagined that they were alumni from the very same high school!
They had never crossed paths before, yet upon entering university, they ended up in the same class.
After exchanging contact information, the two went their separate ways!
"Bro, not bad at all? Introduce her to me, will you?" Zhao Lefan appeared behind Xu Han, heaven knows when.
"Are you truly not picky at all?"
"Anything that falls into the basket is fair game!"
Zhao Lefan was remarkably candid:
"It's a matter of probability. Look, the ones I like might not necessarily like me, and the ones who like me, I might not necessarily fancy."
"There are girls you don't like?Lin Jinghao looked at him in shock, disbelief written all over his face.
"Do you really take me for an animal?"
Zhao Lefan wasn't offended at all, possessing a remarkably thick skin:
"Only by expanding your circle can you increase the odds of meeting true love. If you only know one or two girls and neither clicks, are you going to force yourself?"
Hearing this, Xu Han actually found a shred of logic in it.
What kind of twisted genius thought up this outrageous theory?
As Xu Han turned into the stairwell, he failed to notice a pair of eyes watching him from not far away!
Even the fact that he had added the little girl's WeChat didn't escape the other person's notice.
Little fellow, quite popular, aren't you?
On the way back!
Lin Jinghao was like a walking harvester, with girls continuously approaching to ask for his WeChat!
However, he turned them all down, giving the excuse that he had a girlfriend!
This made Zhao Lefan green with envy!
"Wait a minute, I'm also quite a catch, why does no one see my handsomeness?!"
"You certainly are a catch... whether you have any looks, though, is anyone's guess!"
Lin Jinghao ruthlessly salted the wound, leaving no room for mercy!
Tang Shiying sat in her office, glancing at her phone from time to time!
She had rejected a slew of friend requests in one go, yet somehow she seemed to be anticipating something!
Could it be that she hadn't noticed and had already rejected him?!
If so, given his personality, he probably wouldn't add her again!
Yet she had been very careful to check; she didn't see his name anywhere!
"Tangtang, are you heading back to the dorm?"
Just as she was lost in thought, her best friend Jiang Yanan walked over to her side!
Jiang Yanan was Tang Shiying's roommate and best friend; she was very pretty, gentle by nature, and a sweet girl.
Seeing her friend, Tang Shiying immediately replied:
"I'll go back in a bit, I still have some things to finish!"
"Should I wait for you?"
"You go on ahead first!"
"Alright, then I'll head back and wait for you!"
Although Tang Shiying had rented an apartment outside, she still had belongings in the dorm and occasionally went back to stay there.
Ding...
Her phone chimed.
Tang Shiying quickly glanced at it:
News push: A certain minor celebrity exposed as an unmarried mother.
Seeing this message, a nameless sense of loss welled up in her eyes!
Was this silly boy really going to make her add him herself?
Ding...
Her phone chimed again.
Tang Shiying felt a twinge of impatience and wanted to turn off the notification sound for news updates!
Friend request: Han.
"The student who owes you a meal!"
Looking at these words, the corners of Tang Shiying's lips curved upward!
At least he remembered he owes me a meal!
On the other side!
Xu Han had just put down his phone when a notification popped up!
Tang Shiying has accepted your friend request!
"Did you eat crap, what are you grinning about like an idiot?"
Zhao Lefan watched Xu Han acting all eccentric, not looking like a normal human being at all.
I'm afraid he might have escaped from a psychiatric ward!
Xu Han didn't answer, opened Tang Shiying's Moments, and took a look.
Wonderful, just as he expected, there was nothing there—just a single dashed line!
"Should I ask her out for a meal?"
Xu Han pondered, feeling rather unconfident since they weren't really close yet!
In the end, he decided to wait until military training was over.
"Look! Look, the confession board has been completely taken over by our goddess counselor!"
Zhao Lefan's eyes widened like twin ox eggs, as if he wanted to crawl right into his phone!
Occupying the top spot on the confession board was a photo of Tang Shiying standing on the podium.
Someone must have snapped it covertly and uploaded it!
"I'm in love, I'm in love. Is it still not too late to transfer classes?"
"An aloof and glamorous goddess! The only word to describe her is 'immortal'."
"So envious! Screenwriting Class 2, right? I'm going to audit the classes!"
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
Judging by this momentum, Screenwriting Class 2 was about to be bursting at the seams!
"Protect our counselor, fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
The boys of Class 2 who received the news all swarmed in and began commenting frantically,
determined to defend their beautiful counselor!
Looking at the barrage filling his screen, Xu Han inexplicably felt immense pressure.
It seemed he had quite a few competitors!
That evening!
Xu Han opened the forum as usual, logged into his account, and began writing short stories!
The earnings from writing short drama scripts were more than enough to support his university living expenses.
He remembered that ever since starting university, he had never asked his younger paternal uncle for tuition money again.
However, every month, his uncle still deposited living expenses directly into his account.
Everyone in the family understood his personality—he wasn't good at asking for things, so making him initiate a request for something was harder than ascending to heaven!
Perhaps because of this, his second sister, Xu Ruolan, always found ways to "make things difficult" for him whenever she called, deliberately forcing him to say pleasant things!
Ring, ring, ring!
Xu Han looked at his phone—it was a call from his second sister!
At this hour, it must have just been dawn over on her side.
"Second sister?"
"Xiao Han, are you still staying at my place?"
"No, I went back to the dorm. I only stayed there last night because the dorm gates were locked!"
"Did you meet my junior sister?"
"Junior sister?"
"The pretty girl who came to the police station to pick you up!"
At the mere mention of the police station, Xu Han trembled all over!
Could we please never mention this place again in this lifetime?!
Even though it was very sacred...
"Oh! I met her!"
"She's your counselor. She's not a bad person, it's just her personality... you must have experienced it by now!"
"Mm, it's alright!"
"Alright, that's it. Send a message if anything comes up, phone calls are quite expensive."
Before Xu Han could reply, the other end had already hung up!
He glanced at the time—military training started tomorrow, so he had better get to sleep early!
