Blinking big black eyes in a daze, staring at Bai Chenyao.

"Is it necessary?"

She eats quickly, it only takes about ten minutes to go downstairs from here to school, she definitely has enough time!

Bai Chenyao didn’t speak, but Tian Tian felt it was even scarier than if he had.

That expression clearly told her that if she said one more word, she wouldn’t need to go to school this afternoon!

Tian Tian: "..."

She dared not wolf down her steak, but tried to control the anxiety in her heart, eating slowly with her fork.

Watching Tian Tian’s obviously frustrated yet restrained expression across from him, Bai Chenyao was quite satisfied.

Seeing her cheeks puffed up, maybe from resentment or maybe from eating steak, Bai Chenyao’s bad mood improved a little.

This Tian Tian, the more he looked, the cuter she seemed; he almost didn’t want her to go back to school this afternoon.

She should be with him!

But thinking about their previous conversation, Bai Chenyao worked to suppress that urge to keep Tian Tian by his side constantly, and continued eating his steak.

After finishing the meal, an hour had passed.

Seeing the time was two-thirty, classes had started fifteen minutes ago; Tian Tian didn’t even have time to wipe her mouth, she said bye to Bai Chenyao and rushed out with her bag.

Bai Chenyao: "..."

His dark eyes stared in the direction Tian Tian left for a long while, then returned to her recently vacated seat.

The dinner was cleanly eaten, but she left so quickly!

Bai Chenyao’s eyes flashed with coldness, clearly displeased with Tian Tian for leaving him in such haste.

Running into the elevator, Tian Tian couldn’t help but sneeze once she was inside.

Something felt off, but she was in too much of a hurry to return to class to think about it.

When Tian Tian rushed back to the office, Director Chen Zhu gave her a gentle smile.

"Had something to do? Seeing you hadn’t arrived at class time, I had **** cover for you."

Tian Tian smiled at Chen Zhu gratefully, quickly thanking her.

"Thank you, Director Chen!"

Chen Zhu understood well and smiled lightly; everyone occasionally had things come up.

Patted Tian Tian’s shoulder lightly, Chen Zhu spoke with a smile.

"Hurry over, **** seems to have something this afternoon!"

Tian Tian nodded quickly, holding her lesson plan and books, and left the office in a rush.

Since **** covered for her, Tian Tian, although late, found the students surprised but better off than having no teacher and being chaotic.

After thanking ****, Tian Tian went to the classroom. It was still a large class combined from two classes, and all the tiered classrooms came equipped with microphones for the teachers.

Put on the microphone and began teaching.

Glancing at the students below, noticing a serious gender imbalance—girls outnumbering boys almost 10:1—Tian Tian was surprised. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Upon checking the department, finding it mainly consisted of girls, Tian Tian felt relieved.

The advantage of more girls meant no tall boys suddenly standing up asking all kinds of gossip about her like the last class.

Thus, Tian Tian taught this class comfortably, and the students were well-behaved and attentive, making her feel at ease.
