"Hey! What are you all doing? Fooling around in the hallway?" A voice filled with amusement rang out, causing Lin Menghan to freeze momentarily and quickly retract her hand.
Both of them turned to look in that direction and saw a man in a blue striped shirt, wearing glasses, approaching with an unmistakable smile on his face. It was Song Yuhao, their math teacher, dressed in the standard attire of a math instructor.
Xu Nancheng and Lin Menghan had never encountered such a situation before. They hurriedly greeted him with a "Hello, Teacher!" and then dashed back to the classroom like startled rabbits, not daring to look back.
Once seated, they sat upright, their faces flushed, hearts racing, nearly burying their heads under the desks.
"Lin Menghan, are we—" Xu Nancheng's voice trembled.
"Yes," came Lin Menghan's shaky reply from beside him.
The two remained frozen in place, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Thud, thud, thud.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded by the door. It could only be Song Yuhao.
Just then, the class bell rang suddenly, like a storm breaking and interrupting everyone's playful banter. Coincidentally, at that moment, Song Yuhao stepped into the classroom as the bell chimed, instantly silencing the room.
As he entered with a cheerful grin, he teased, "Oh dear! While I don't oppose young love, I can't help but feel it's not quite right." Though this sounded like playful banter, when spoken by Song Yuhao, it carried a deep sense of life’s reflections.
"What do you mean by young love, Brother Hao?" Curious voices arose from the class. Everyone assumed that Song Yuhao had caught someone in the act of romance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Menghan and Xu Nancheng felt a chill run down their spines. Oh no! They were about to be dragged out for questioning! And it was only the first day of school—how would they survive the many days ahead? All their beautiful fantasies shattered.
Fortunately, both Lin Menghan and Xu Nancheng were well-mannered kids; otherwise, those who chimed in would have likely been cursed by them countless times without realizing it.
However, Song Yuhao remained unfazed and continued smiling. "It's nothing! I was just making an offhand remark."
"Oh right! Isn’t there a new student in your class? Stand up so I can see!" He suddenly recalled hearing Guo Jianguo mention something about a new student and wanted to take a look.
The students pointed toward a girl sitting diagonally in front of him. She had her head down, her hair covering her face, making it hard to see her features.
Seeing this shy girl made Song Yuhao's lips curl into a slight smile. "Come on now! I'm not going to bite you. Lift your head so I can get to know you. Also, what's your name?"
At that moment, Lin Menghan felt more uncomfortable than if she had been killed. But she knew she had to listen to the teacher!
What should she do? If she stood up now, she would definitely be recognized; it would be so embarrassing even if he didn’t actually say anything.
Just as she hesitated, she felt a tug at the hem of her shirt. Curiously turning her head slightly, she met Xu Nancheng's encouraging gaze—a look that conveyed support and reassurance. Even though Xu Nancheng might not have dared to stand up himself, his eyes told Lin Menghan not to be afraid.
Feeling warmth spread through her heart, she slowly stood up but kept her head lowered. "Hello Teacher! My name is Lin Menghan."
Her voice trembled slightly, resembling that of a frightened little rabbit. This piqued everyone's curiosity; during the self-introduction earlier, she had been so confident and poised. Why was she so timid now?
Song Yuhao saw her and immediately recognized her as the girl from outside the classroom. He simply smiled but chose not to say anything, wanting to give the students some face.
"Alright! Please take your seats!"
However, just as she settled down, Song Yuhao raised his voice from the podium: "You are all in your third year now! Learning should be your top priority! Matters of romance can wait until later!" With that, he slammed his hand on the desk, producing a loud bang that silenced the entire classroom, leaving only his voice to fill the air.
While others might not have noticed, both she and Xu Nancheng understood that this was clearly directed at them. They exchanged a glance, their expressions turning grim.
Ah, who cares about that! What’s wrong with dating? As long as it doesn’t affect our grades. The last period, especially math class, seemed to fly by; it felt like just a blink of an eye before class was over.
"So we say... class dismissed!" Just as Song Teacher was getting into his lecture, the dismissal bell rang—more like a dinner bell—and without hesitation, he declared the end of class and was the first to grab his things and dash out.
Immediately after, students erupted in cheers and raced towards the cafeteria.
"Food is life! Food is everything!" they shouted as they sprinted madly toward the dining hall. After all, if they were late, there would be food but also a long queue.
However, Xu Nancheng led Lin Menghan out of the classroom but didn’t continue running toward the cafeteria. "Lin Menghan, should we wait for Xu Dong and the others?"
"Okay!" Lin Menghan nodded obediently while looking at Xu Nancheng's face.
Since they were seated at the back, no matter how fast they ran, they would inevitably be held up by others and always lag behind.
Before long, two figures hurriedly approached them, shouting loudly: "Sister! Nancheng! Hurry up! We're going to have to stand in a long line soon!"
Students were racing past each other in a chaotic frenzy; it was easy to get jostled and pushed several meters away if one wasn’t careful.
