The Pretty Lady's Bane in Our Faculty

Due to Gu Pingsheng's arrival, the Law Faculty suddenly came into the limelight.

As an academic institution known for science and engineering, the faculties of Telecommunications and Management had always been the leaders of the school, and the Faculty of Architecture and the various science faculties were also not to be taken lightly, despite their habit of remaining quiet. As for the few lonely faculties that belonged to the liberal arts category, they practically had no status in the school worth mentioning.

"'Law school? This university has a law school? Isn't it only Fudan[1] that has one?'" Shen Yao indignantly read the heading of one of the threads on the school's BBS forum. "How dare they actually say that. They're looking down on us!"

Her eyes had been fixed on the online discussion board the entire afternoon and even lunch had been taken care of with only some instant noodles.

Because of a single photograph of Gu Pingsheng, though, the Law Faculty finally became famous.

The weather was very hot, and Tong Yan lay sprawled on her bed.

She was biting open longan shells with her teeth, and one by one, she ate the fruit while occasionally lifting aside the muslin bed curtain to toss the shells under the bed.

"We're normally so low-key, but this week, we're practically catching up to Super Girl[2] in popularity. It's all Gu Ping–– " Midway through, she realized she was actually addressing him directly by his name and immediately caught herself. "... Teacher Gu's fault."

Shen Yao cackled with a "hehe" and corrected her, "The thing is, we've successfully trampled the Faculty of Architecture and now have the most beautiful teacher in the entire school."

Tong Yan nearly swallowed her longan seed.

Gu Pingsheng's face was relatively fairer in complexion and more slender, and relatively sharper and more defined, and every so often, his attire would be rather attractive and pleasing. But to use the description, "most beautiful" on a teacher of the Law Faculty was just... However, Gu Pingsheng's ability to incite the masses was something she could not deny either.

This was apparent just by looking at this week's three classes of International Commercial Arbitration Law. The students who sat in on the class just to listen, despite not actually taking the course, had filled the entire classroom, causing her and the class prefect, who were both late, to have no seats and only stand at the door, staring blankly.

A classroom that seated more than sixty people... And our faculty only had nineteen students in it for our year... Where did all these people come from?

It was fortunate that when Gu Pingsheng stepped in, he had quickly discovered that their territory had been completely overrun by outsiders and had softly asked two girls sitting in the front row, "Could I trouble you..."

Before his question could be completed, the two girls had immediately jumped to their feet. "Teacher, it's no problem. We'll just stand."

Tong Yan had been speechless. In this day and age, there were still people willing to stand to listen to a class lecture?

Luckily, he only came to the school three times a week.

In the end, to preserve the rights and interests of the students of their year, the class prefect had held a small internal meeting and established that no one should in any way divulge this semester's class schedule or else that person would become the public enemy. They couldn't make Teacher Gu sacrifice himself and his good looks every time to help them, right?
