Although the man’s expression wasn’t particularly serious, it could even be described as gentle, he inexplicably gave off a dangerous vibe.
It was as like, if the answer was not to his liking, something very serious would happen.
Not only Ruan Qing, who had seen the photo, but even other classmates in the classroom felt an inexplicable tension.
This new teacher was indeed difficult to deal with.
Many students felt as if there was some major issue with the school. This course had already been underway for half a semester when suddenly they were notified that the teacher was being changed.
The reason given was that the old professor’s health was deteriorating, and he could no longer continue teaching.
It’s really hard to believe.
Clearly, just a moment ago, the old professor, during the class, showed no signs of any health issues.
Although the students find it absurd, they had no choice but to accept it.
After hearing the man’s words, Ruan Qing shook his head nervously, indicating that he didn’t mean it.
The man raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and asked, “What does shaking your head mean? You don’t like me? Or are you dissatisfied with me?”
Probably due to crying for a long time, Ruan Qing’s tears seemed to have dried up. His eyes were red, and he opened his mouth with some urgency, but no sound came out.
Ruan Qing could only continue shaking his head, his beautiful eyes carrying a hint of misunderstood grievance.
But because he couldn’t explain himself, he stood there helplessly, his slender figure looking quite pitiful.
Unfortunately, the man seemed to misunderstand his intentions, wearing a face of helplessness. “It seems that you indeed have a strong opinion about me, not even bothering to explain.”
Just when Ruan Qing became more anxious, a classmate stood up, “Teacher, Classmate Xia, he’s just like that.”
“He seems unable to speak when he cries; it’s probably not intentional.”
The classmate didn’t know why he was speaking up. Clearly, he used to dislike Xia Qing for crying so easily, but now he instinctively stood up to speak for him.
Perhaps he couldn’t tolerate seeing someone being misunderstood, even if it was a disliked classmate.
Ruan Qing looked at the classmate speaking up for him, and her delicately painted eyebrows showed a subtle expression of gratitude, as if expressing his thanks.
The classroom fell into complete silence when the young man turned around.
The young man’s eyes were red, with a touch of crimson at the corners, indicating that he had cried for a long time.
Moreover, the young man’s eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally beautiful, and the dewy eyes seemed to have a faint glimmer, clean and pure.
Bright as the stars.
Even without seeing his face, classmates could easily imagine the gorgeous and enchanting appearance.
Suddenly, they realized that classmate Xia Qing seemed to be quite outstanding in appearance.
It was strange why they had never noticed this before.
Clearly, a beauty shedding tears should only evoke sympathy...
When the student stood up to speak up for the young man, there was a hint of displeasure in the man’s eyes, and his gaze darkened a bit.
As others in the classroom stared blankly at the young man, this displeasure reached its peak.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the expression in his eyes and the dangerous aura.
Then he looked at Ruan Qing with a puzzled expression, as if he didn’t understand the situation. “Is that so?”
The classmate, looking at the young man who could only nod and shake his head in response, kindly reminded, “Classmate Xia, you can write.”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing looked at the classmate gratefully, even bowing in gratitude.
Then he hastily picked up a pen and wrote on the textbook.
After finishing, Ruan Qing immediately flipped the textbook and showed it to the man in front of him.
[Teacher, I am not dissatisfied with you, nor do I mean any disrespect. I just have something sudden and need to leave for a moment.]
Ruan Qing originally wanted to write that he needed to go to the restroom, but generally, one wouldn’t carry a book to the restroom, so he didn’t specify why he needed to leave.
The man lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the words written on the textbook.
The young man’s writing was graceful, delicate, and carried a clean appearance, quite attractive.
Just like him.
“Well, since there’s nothing, then sit down and pay attention to the class.” The man looked into Ruan Qing’s eyes as if he hadn’t seen the second half of what Ruan Qing wrote.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips at his words and ultimately had to sit down in the front row.
The man took the attendance register and walked up to the podium. “Hello, everyone. I am your new teacher for this course.”
After saying that, he took out chalk and wrote three characters on the blackboard.
Shen Yu’an.
“I’ve always disliked students arriving late or leaving early in my class. I hope all students can pay attention to this.”
Although Shen Yu’an’s words were addressed to all students, his gaze was directed at Ruan Qing.
It was evident that he was very concerned about Ruan Qing’s attempt to skip class just now.
Ruan Qing, appearing somewhat embarrassed, lowered his head and shrank into his seat.
Shen Yu’an didn’t say anything more and picked up a book, starting the class.
Despite being a substitute teacher, he seemed competent, and there didn’t seem to be any issues with the way he taught.
His teaching wasn’t inferior to the previous professor.
Because Ruan Qing was seated in the front row, and Shen Yu’an’s gaze occasionally swept over him, he had to focus on the class.
However, in just a few minutes, the dismissal bell rang.
University classes usually had two consecutive sessions, and now it was just a ten-minute break between classes.
But it was enough time for Ruan Qing to check the information of the person who replied.
After all, there was a computer room on the upper floor of this teaching building.
Having a computer would make things much more convenient.
After the class, Ruan Qing walked out of the classroom directly, intending to go to the computer room upstairs.
However, as soon as he left the classroom, he noticed Shen Yu’an also leaving.
Ruan Qing felt a slight tension. After glancing at Shen Yu’an, he immediately changed direction and headed towards the restroom.
Pretending he needed to use the restroom.
But it seemed that Shen Yu’an also intended to go to the restroom.
Ruan Qing was well aware that Shen Yu’an wasn’t actually going to the restroom; he was openly following him.
Moreover, it’s highly likely that Shen Yu’an came for him, otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence.
They collided just forty minutes ago, and now the teacher for this class had changed.
Was Shen Yu’an... suspecting him?
It seemed that acting clueless alone couldn’t dispel the other’s suspicions.
He needed to be even more cautious.
Ruan Qing pretended not to notice Shen Yu’an not far behind him. After reaching the restroom, he directly entered one of the stalls.
Then he reached back to lock the restroom door.
Ruan Qing listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Because it was during a break, there were quite a few male students coming to use the restroom, but very few came to where he was.
However, within a few seconds, the footsteps of two people slowly approached his location.
Then Ruan Qing heard that two people entered the stall next to him.
One from the left, one from the right.
oh my gosh that teacher is so shameless. but who's the other person?!!
