With the clear clicking of high heels, a pair of black silk-clad beautiful legs stepped into the classroom's doorway.
The newcomer was a pretty woman dressed in a black professional suit, who was Chen Dongdong's homeroom teacher in her tone.
Xu Fan widened his eyes as he watched the woman stride to the podium with a straight face, thinking to himself, could this be any more coincidental?
The cool-faced beauty standing at the podium was none other than Zhou Keren… whom he had pinned down the night before as she coquettishly called him hero.
"Stand up!"
Guan Shimeng, sitting in the front row, called out, and the whole class was about to rise when Zhou Keren coolly waved her hand, prompting everyone to obediently take their seats again.
Zhou Keren smiled slightly, "I heard we have a new student today, where are you? How about introducing yourself to everyone?"
As she spoke, Zhou Keren's gaze swept across the classroom.
"Teacher, I'm here!"
At this moment, Xu Fan raised his hand and stood up with a hee-hee smile.
"Eh! How come it's you!"
As her eyes fell on Xu Fan, who was sporting a rascal grin, Zhou Keren was so startled she almost wanted to dive under the lecture desk, completely abandoning her previously authoritative demeanor.
Xu Fan couldn't help but feel amused at her cat-like fright, coughed, and, feigning confusion, blinked and said, "Hm? Teacher? Have you seen me before?"
"It doesn't make sense, my face is so handsome, there should be only one like it in this world."
"Pfft."
Guan Shimeng in the front row couldn't help but laugh out loud; this guy is never serious.
Zhou Keren composed herself, internally insisting, he's a student and she's a teacher, why on earth should she fear him!
After giving Xu Fan a grudging glare, Zhou Keren snorted, "Student, please introduce yourself."
She thought it over, it would be better to keep the fact that she was living with Xu Fan a secret. Otherwise, her hard-earned reputation would be ruined!
As everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xu Fan's lips curved into a sly smile, "Hehe, hello everyone, my name is Xu Fan, male, hobby—women, you all can call me hero, or a brave man."
The students were clueless about the hero and brave man joke, but as Xu Fan sat down and glanced at Zhou Keren, she was undeniably irritated, itching to get back at him.
Humph, little punk, that'll teach you to take the master bedroom!
"Cough, okay, that was a very distinctive self-introduction from the new student; now let's open our English textbooks, and we'll start the lesson."
Zhou Keren took a few deep breaths to calm down, opened the textbook, and decided to ignore the other party, starting her class.
Zhou Keren was quite authoritative in the class, and now the whole class swiftly opened their textbooks; seeing that Xu Fan didn't have one, Chen Dongdong moved her own textbook towards him with a smile, "Xu Fan, let's share mine for now!"
Xu Fan smiled and nodded, accepting the kindness.
However, the content Zhou Keren was teaching was too simple for Xu Fan, who had wandered abroad for three years,
Drowsy, Xu Fan's head began to droop, and he soon fell asleep; he didn't know how much time had passed before he felt Chen Dongdong jabbing him with her elbow. Wiping his mouth and opening his eyes, he found the whole class looking at him with schadenfreude.
And there was Zhou Keren, standing on the podium, glaring at him with anger!
"Xu Fan, why are you sleeping during class!"
Zhou Keren, with a stern face, reprimanded him; Xu Fan was taken aback, was it not allowed to sleep during class?
"No, teacher, I wasn't asleep..."
Xu Fan blinked, his face the picture of innocence.
"Then why were you closing your eyes?"
Zhou Keren glared at Xu Fan, humming triumphantly in her heart, thinking, "Got you, sleeping in class? You're dead meat!"
Xu Fan curled his lips and said, "Because I was deep in thought."
"Huh? Deep in thought? Then why were you nodding your head?"
Xu Fan chuckled and replied, "Because what you said was very sensible."
"You, you!"
Stubborn to the end, Xu Fan refused to admit it, leaving Zhou Keren momentarily lost for words, glaring at him before she said, "Then why were you drooling!"
"Uh, that..."
Suddenly, Xu Fan was at a loss for words, and Zhou Keren couldn't help tilting her chin up proudly, thinking, "Now you've got no explanation, huh?"
Just then, Xu Fan blinked and said with a teasing smile, "Because you're pretty."
"Hahaha!"
So Xu Fan meant he was drooling because he was looking at Zhou Keren, causing the whole class to burst into laughter, making Zhou Keren's face turn red!
"Quiet!"
Zhou Keren, frustrated, slapped the lectern, and the class immediately fell silent. She pointed towards the door and berated Xu Fan, "You, go stand outside!"
Xu Fan calmly stood up and started walking towards Zhou Keren, who felt a chill at his smile and couldn't help but retreat.
"What, what are you trying to do?"
This was a school! Surely this guy wouldn't do anything inappropriate?
Xu Fan came to a stop in front of Zhou Keren, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he spoke fluently in English, "I love three things in this world, the sun, the moon, and you. The sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever..."
Xu Fan's pronunciation was impeccable, quick and clear. Maybe the students couldn't understand, but Zhou Keren, as an English teacher, understood every single word.
Her face immediately blushed a deep red, shyly watching Xu Fan as he turned to leave the classroom, cursing inwardly!
This guy! To actually flirt with her in front of her students!
Once the blush on her face faded, Zhou Keren realized that Xu Fan's English proficiency was not the least inferior to hers, noticing the naturalness of his accent, he must have spent quite some years abroad. There was no need for him to listen to these high school lessons...
However, that didn't change her intention to keep Xu Fan standing as a punishment. Her lips curled into a smirk, thinking, "Hmph, that's for flirting with me!"
After two periods, Xu Fan was finally released. For him, who had been trained in horse stance since childhood, standing for three days and nights was no issue.
Once Zhou Keren left the classroom, she gave herself a victory smirk before sauntering off. Xu Fan rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, "Wait till I get home, I'll have to take care of her properly."
"Hehe, Xu Fan, you alright?"
Back at his seat, Chen Dongdong gave Xu Fan a thumbs up, saying, "Xu Fan, you're amazing, even daring to provoke Teacher Zhou. From now on, you're my big brother!"
Obviously, the persona Zhou Keren put on at school had successfully intimidated everyone. Xu Fan just shrugged it off, saying, "Psh, a paper tiger, that's all."
Glancing over, he saw Guan Shimeng from the front row making her way towards him...
