The person under the trench coat genuinely thought Luan Yenan was trying to save face, but now they realized they were naive!
Zuo Baixuan regained some strength and peeked half her face out from under her trench coat. She lowered her voice, telling Luan Yenan to clean up the mess: "What were you letting them shout about? I haven't even graduated yet! Calling me 'teacher's wife'!"
Luan Yenan smiled and readily agreed, correcting the students, "You misspoke, you can't call her 'Teacher's Wife.' Why don't you call her 'Senior Sister' instead, otherwise she'll be shy."
Hiss!
"Senior~"
The students quickly changed the word.
There were also graduate students in the auditorium who had come because of her reputation, and they all took advantage of the situation by calling this senior female student "senior sister".
The tone of this "senior sister" was even more ambiguous than the previous "teacher's wife."
Left with no other choice, Zuo Baixuan gradually regained her strength. She realized she couldn't expect Luan Yenan to let her go on his own.
She reached out and pulled the cloak off her head. As it slipped off, she felt a chill, so she simply put it on.
Fortunately, the trench coat was a loose fit, so the only problem for her was the length.
After getting dressed, Zuo Baixuan grabbed Luan Yenan's arm and pulled her outside, no longer giving her a chance to talk nonsense.
Luan Yenan had anticipated this, letting Zuo Baixuan pull him along. As he left, he didn't forget to raise the hand holding the red rose and wave goodbye to the students. It was hard to tell whether he was truly saying goodbye or just showing off.
The students kept making inhuman, beast-like screams, extremely excited.
After the two left, the talking became even louder.
"Don't be fooled by Professor Luan's serious demeanor during his lectures; when he's in the thick of it, he's even more boisterous than we are."
"Professor Luan has such a great temperament, and Senior Sister Zuo is also super beautiful. It's true that beautiful people always end up with other beautiful people."
"It's not just that. Professor Luan was so serious and unsmiling during his lecture. He wouldn't let us ask questions, and he didn't smile at all. But after Senior Sister Zuo came, he was completely different. That's favoritism!"
"That's right! I think it's favoritism! Favoritism is just too sweet!!"
As a result, a popular post appeared on the forum's homepage.
The title used was "How Sweet is Favoritism".
The photos shown are of Luan Yenan when he first came on stage with a serious expression and of Luan Yenan when he met Zuo Baixuan, and the contrast between the two photos is obvious.
"Some professors have two faces!"
"Ugh, why didn't I apply for this speech?! I want to watch the live stream too!"
"It's okay, there are still many more pictures to be released, hehehe."
The post does indeed contain many blurry photos from the scene.
This includes the moment when Luan Yenan kissed Zuo Baixuan with his backhand, and the moment when she wrapped Zuo Baixuan in her trench coat and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
Everyone was captivated just by looking at these few sets of blurry photos.
What's going on with this Professor Luan?
There's a reason why so many people like her!
There is also a series of photos of Zuo Baixuan.
She stood in the light at the doorway, waiting for Luan Yenan, a red rose hidden behind her.
The scene of handing the red rose to Luan Yenan was so beautiful that everyone wanted to save the blurry photo as wallpaper.
Senior Sister Zuo is so pretty!!!
It's no wonder Professor Luan was moved! Who wouldn't be attracted to a girl who comes to pick you up from get off work with roses?
Not to mention, she even gave him a kiss in front of everyone, even though she blushed!
What's going on with these two people!
The forum was completely devoid of those sarcastic posts, leaving only hordes of onlookers surrounded by Luan Zuo's wives.
Then, a skilled image saver dug out the other photos as well.
For example, during this period, when Luan Yenan was alone on campus, she exuded an aura of rejection, looking down on everyone and appearing very unapproachable.
In contrast, whenever Zuo Baixuan appeared nearby, Luan Yenan's eyes would always be filled with a gentle smile, and his whole person would become much softer in the halo of light.
Even Zuo Baixuan herself would be confused by this scene.
Without that contract and the need for acting, Zuo Baixuan would have thought that Luan Yenan was truly head over heels in love with her.
The campus forums erupted in celebration following the speech at noon today.
A world where only the principal and vice-principal are harmed has been achieved.
The principal looked at the forum's content and touched the crater above his head.
He never expected that Luan Yenan's 40-minute speech could cause such a big fuss. The impact was clear: the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Should we punish Luan Yenan for developing inappropriate teacher-student relationships at school?
Luan Yenan is just a visiting professor; he and Zuo Baixuan are actually husband and wife.
He shook his head and dumped the mess on the vice principal in charge of publicity and school affairs.
The vice principal sat in her chair, anxiously tugging at her sparse bangs with her pen, probably wondering when she would end up like the principal. She quickly put down her pen.
She felt a headache just looking at Zuo Baixuan's photos.
Why has the selection of this outstanding graduate representative suddenly become so tricky? Couldn't the young couple have been a little more discreet when they were in school?
These are not the main points. The main point is that the promotional posts for the campus's top ten singers competition were also being pushed to the top of the forum.
The vice principal could even guess what those people who kept replying to the post were hoping for just by imagining it.
The vice principal looked at the list beside him, on which Luan Yenan's name was clearly written.
The good news is that with Luan Yenan as a star performer, this year's Top Ten Campus Singers competition is sure to be a huge success.
The bad news is... she's planning to observe a vegetarian diet and chant Buddhist prayers for peace during this period.
...
Zuo Baixuan walked with a brisk pace, her large trench coat billowing around her.
She pulled Luan Yenan out of the auditorium and onto the main road. Seeing that the students behind them were not chasing after them and there were no students around, she slowed down.
Just then, I received a message from Jiang Lingdan, which, unusually, contained only links to a few posts without any comments.
Zuo Baixuan didn't even need to click on it to know what would appear inside.
She was also very clear that the reason Jiang Lingdan hadn't provided any basis for her evaluation was because she was "speechless."
Zuo Baixuan eventually clicked on one of the posts and saw the two people's situation from a third-person perspective.
She knew that her and Luan Yenan's good acting was the only reason they were together, but others didn't know that.
She knew Luan Yenan was a good actor, but she didn't expect him to be this good.
Every time she looked up, she would see Luan Yennan's gaze. She used to think it was just Luan Yennan's weird sense of humor.
But the evidence in the photos shows that Luan Yenan never took his eyes off him.
Because she was always looking at him, their eyes would meet whenever he looked at her.
She stopped and turned around.
Luan Yenan, who was being led by Zuo Baixuan's hand, was holding a rose in his other hand. He seemed to be in a very good mood and was looking at the back of Zuo Baixuan's head through the gaps in the rose petals.
Zuo Baixuan, with her hair in a ponytail, looks particularly energetic.
When she saw Zuo Baixuan turn around and look at her, she smiled, waved the roses, and said her belated thanks: "Thank you for the roses."
Zuo Baixuan turned around and, sure enough, met Luan Yenan's gaze, and a smile quickly appeared on Luan Yenan's face.
Everything is proven.
"It's just a matter of reciprocity. You brought me a huge bouquet last time, so I only brought you one." Zuo Baixuan smiled, her dimples stealing the show.
Luan Yenan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zuo Baixuan's smile.
Little White Flower is indeed very different today.
Just now, despite being shy, I didn't hesitate at all in my actions.
What's even more surprising is that his kiss hasn't elicited much of a reaction from Zuo Baixuan so far.
And now she's actually smiling at me, making all those days I spent deliberately avoiding her to ease the awkwardness seem like a waste.
"That's enough. Anyway, you didn't manage to keep that whole bouquet in the end. I can try to preserve this one properly." Luan Yennan deliberately mentioned the white rose from that day.
After having dinner with Luo Yun that day, she didn't forget the flowers. When she took them home from the car, she wondered if Zuo Baixuan would actually preserve them as specimens as she had said.
But then all sorts of chaos happened, so when I got home, all that was left were petals scattered all over the ground.
The packaging bag was damaged by the door. Although the sturdy flower stem was still intact, the white petals had fallen to the ground and were stained with dirt from being trampled on.
Although the footprints were left by medical staff, all in the chaos to save her, she wouldn't blame anyone. But the mess on the ground seemed to symbolize the passing of life. She subconsciously touched the back of her neck, then turned around and cleaned it all up.
Zuo Baixuan also remembered the white rose, but instead of mentioning the flower, she asked directly, "You wouldn't have fallen for me already, would you?"
They tried to stump Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan calmly raised his eyebrows, lightly hooking his fingers around Zuo Baixuan's palm, and answered even more directly than Zuo Baixuan: "I liked you the first time I saw you."
It's that insincere answer again, with that cliché "love at first sight."
Zuo Baixuan choked on her words and gave a soft hum: "No wonder she has the ability to fall in love with every girl she meets. She can like someone at first sight."
Luan Yenan didn't refute it, since "they" wouldn't allow her to refute it with the fact that she had transmigrated into the book.
"You're the first. Maybe it's because those eyes opened up a new world for me. You're the first."
This subtle feeling is probably hard for Zuo Baixuan to understand.
It was also difficult for Luan Yenan to explain, because she didn't know what love at first sight felt like. She only knew that the first person she met after coming into this world was Zuo Baixuan, and Zuo Baixuan had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.
Luan Yenan's hand lightly brushed against Zuo Baixuan's eye.
Zuo Baixuan's face flushed red from the rose petals, and she looked away.
Luan Yenan, on the other hand, was more natural. She gently straightened Zuo Baixuan's face with her fingers.
"Look at your expression, you must like me more, right? Otherwise, why did you kiss me first?"
