Together Forever

Chapter 2.1

Those Little Stories

"Teacher Gu, actually..." Those three lasses were still keeping an eye on Tong Yan from a distance, and she did not know how to handle this.

There was no change at all to Gu Pingsheng's actions, as if he had not heard anything... Wait, no, he really hadn't heard anything.

At the same time, Zhao Yin also tapped his arm, and when he raised his eyes to look at her, she laughed, "What teacher shows such favouritism towards a student?"

Gu Pingsheng did not seem to find that there was anything inappropriate. "I've always played favourites. Before, when I was doing my graduate studies and had to teach undergraduates students, I was the same."

Tong Yan shifted her gaze away and watched the streams of people coming out from one of the teaching buildings. A class that ended at this hour of the day could only either be for a course on Intro to Maoism[1] or else Marxism[2]. Sure enough, in the hands of two male students who walked by were copies of Introduction to Maoism... She stared intensely at those two male students, successfully managing to distract herself from the situation.

That was, until she caught a glimpse of someone coming toward them from beneath the flagpole. Immediately, she broke out in a sweat. She had forgotten about that class representative.

At the same time, Zhao Yin also spotted this student of hers and was quite surprised.

When Class Rep Shen saw the "goddess" teacher of his faculty, he was also dumbstruck.

Glancing over at Gu Pingsheng, who was handing the newly re-rolled sketch back to her, Tong Yan very gratifyingly made a discovery: judging based on psychological poise and composure alone, Law Faculty, win!

Tong Yan took her assignment from him, then immediately handed it over to Shen Heng. "Here you go. My assignment."

Only now did Zhao Yin realize what her student was here to do, and with a laugh, she noted, "Shen Heng, you're still taking sketching this semester? I seem to recall that next semester, you're going to London for a two-year exchange program. You shouldn't need to take any elective courses now, right?" Teacher Zhao's one remark hit the mark and exposed the secret.

Class Rep Shen was evidently more embarrassed than Tong Yan. Tong Yan, on the other hand, glanced very carefully over at Gu Pingsheng.

It was fortunate that Zhao Yin had been facing Class Rep Shen when she had spoken, and it seemed he had not.

"Teacher Gu, I have some questions I'd like to consult you on." She decided she would make the first move to take the situation into her own hands.

Gu Pingsheng answered with an "alright," and, turning to Zhao Yin, said with a nod, "I'll go first, then. If you need anything, contact me by email."

Tong Yan merely had not wanted him to see what that boy would say, but when the two of them left together, she actually did not know what to talk about. Gu Pingsheng was not hurried, though, and simply strolled with her along the tree-lined walkway beside the lake.

There were three teaching buildings beside the lake: the Upper Building, Middle Building, and Lower Building.

The Upper Building mainly consisted of lecture-style theatres that were large and spacious. However, although the classrooms were so open, it was unspoken knowledge throughout the entire school that the Upper Building was a place for couples to date and hangout, and nobody would go there to study at night. Hence, one really should not judge based on the building's dark, unlit appearance from the exterior because in hidden and secret corners, there were actually quite a few "lively," "vivid," and "spicy" things taking place.
