"Did we really misjudge her gaze before? She looks so naive, yet she seems to have the means to attract handsome guys?"
"Is this how all seductresses are? They appear innocent on the surface but are actually using all their charms where others can't see?"
People began to speculate in various ways.
Looking at the way the two of them were sitting together was even more shocking to everyone.
The chubby Hu Jiao'er didn't seem to be interested in the handsome guy beside her. She sat on the inside, turning her face away from him, showing no signs of joy or surprise. Her expression was calm, as if she were sitting alone, even revealing a hint of disdain and annoyance.
Hey! Hu Jiao'er, the guy sitting next to you is the envy of the whole class! He can make girls blush and their hearts race from a meter away, yet you're acting as if he doesn't exist. Isn't that a bit too much?
Then there was Zhou Xiaochuan. Although he still wore his usual indifferent smile, it was clear that he was a little nervous!
He was actually nervous! Sitting next to Hu Jiao'er, he was feeling some tension!
Any other boy in the class would be completely at ease sitting next to Hu Jiao'er and talking to her, but he was nervous?
He kept flipping through his book as if something was tucked inside.
A love letter?
A confession note?
A token of affection?
Everyone's attention was focused on him and her.
She seemed unaffected by the attention and continued doing her own thing as usual.
He appeared to enjoy the spotlight, wearing a faintly mischievous and smug smile, occasionally winking at the boys who wanted to see him make a fool of himself and raising an eyebrow at the girls who looked both disdainful and envious.
After a while, the teacher walked into the classroom, and it wasn't time for class yet. Zhou Xiaochuan waved at those staring at them, saying, "Let's get ready for class; the show of affection ends here."
Everyone burst into laughter, leaving the teacher somewhat bewildered. "What's so funny? Why are you all so happy?"
The teacher is a young male PhD who thought that his stylish outfit today had brought joy to everyone.
He adjusted his deep blue suit. He indeed looked sharp today in his newly purchased, well-fitting suit.
The new young male teacher enjoyed joking around and habitually scanned the faces of all the students before class. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Wearing a new outfit to class today makes me feel much more confident."
The class erupted in laughter, thinking the teacher was making fun of himself. Indeed, many students on campus now wore brand-name clothes that far surpassed those of their teachers.
Just as the laughter began to die down, the teacher spoke again:
"However, when I see Zhou Xiaochuan, my confidence disappears." The teacher chuckled lightly, looking affectionately and happily at Zhou Xiaochuan and Hu Jiao'er, who were awkwardly sitting together.
"Wow! Teacher, you are so funny!" a student suddenly exclaimed.
It turned out the teacher had also noticed this pair of rivals.
This pair was quite famous; almost no teacher was unfamiliar with them. Not to mention that the one teaching at the moment was a young professor who had just joined the department. He often played basketball with the male students, and Zhou Xiaochuan, who had just transferred from another major, happened to be an excellent basketball player. This was one of the reasons he attracted attention and admiration from female students upon his arrival.
Another reason Zhou Xiaochuan was well-known among the faculty was that he was a student from the Liberal Arts Philosophy Department. After studying philosophy for a semester, he suddenly became interested in Astrophysics while researching the relationship between humans and nature. He then approached the school administration to request a transfer to a different department.
Initially, the administration disagreed. Transfers between similar fields were understandable—like from one liberal arts major to another or from one science major to another—but it seemed absurd for someone who had not studied physics since high school to suddenly want to study Astrophysics in college.
The administration firmly refused.
However, he did not get discouraged. He wrote an extensive review paper of over 100,000 words and submitted it to the school administration. The administrators were not physics experts and could not understand it, but they needed to provide a reasonable explanation for rejecting his request. Given that he was such a determined student, they knew they had to give him a convincing reason; otherwise, he would not easily back down.
In the end, the administration handed his paper over to the leaders and professors of the Physics Department for them to decide whether to accept him as a student or determine if he qualified to be one of their students.
To their surprise, after reviewing his paper, the leaders and professors of the Physics Department agreed enthusiastically.
Thus, there wasn't a single teacher in the Physics Department who didn't know him, especially not the young teacher who often played basketball with him.
As for Hu Jiao'er, she was even more famous. Originally an active Cultural Committee Member in her class, she either hosted or performed in nearly every cultural event organized by the college. Almost all teachers in her department recognized her, especially since she had recently been promoted to the student council of her college, further increasing her visibility among faculty members.
Moreover, she was highly capable at her work, an excellent learner, obedient and well-behaved, making her a valuable assistant to the teacher. Her unique and sweet appearance naturally made her liked and praised by both teachers and classmates, leading to more people getting to know her.
"Teacher, why did you lose confidence after seeing Zhou Xiaochuan?" a bold and mischievous student raised their hand to ask.
The teacher chuckled shyly, lowering their head slightly, and teased, "Because a handsome and talented guy like Zhou Xiaochuan doesn't have any girls paying attention to him. I don't have a girlfriend either, so wouldn't that mean even fewer girls are interested in me?"
The teacher looked at Zhou Xiaochuan and Hu Jiao'er with a smile.
The teacher intentionally joked about Hu Jiao'er turning her face away and ignoring Zhou Xiaochuan.
The whole class understood the teacher's words, their faces filled with joyful smiles.
Zhou Xiaochuan felt even prouder; even the teacher was speaking up for him. Initially wanting to keep his budding romance with Hu Jiao'er low-key, he never expected it to become the prelude to an entire class, entering the spotlight so boldly.
Hu Jiao'er seemed either not to have heard the teacher or was ignoring what was said, remaining completely still.
Zhou Xiaochuan tapped on Hu Jiao'er's desk. "Hey! The teacher just reminded you to pay attention to your image."
"What?" Hu Jiao'er looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with a dazed expression. "When?"
"Just now," Zhou Xiaochuan replied casually. By this time, the class bell had rung, and the teacher had already started the lesson. "Didn't the teacher just say you were too handsome?" Hu Jiao'er responded in a cool tone, indifferent as she turned her face toward the wall. It turned out she had heard what the teacher said; she was just pretending.
