The Beloved and Pampered Girl

No one in the class dared to stand up for her, except for her.

“Because you were the first person who dared to stand against Teacher Wang.”

“Huh?”

“Teacher Wang has always been domineering in school, and no one dares to provoke him. Over time, it has become an unwritten law that no one dares to break!”

“Heh, should I feel honored then?”

“I don’t know, all I can say is I really admire your courage.”

“So that’s why you stood up to help me!”

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been trapped in these prescribed roles for too long, wanting to break free but never finding the way. Your arrival brought hope.”

“Not everyone has such courage!”

“You’re right, everyone has the right to choose their own path in life.”

“But most people choose to follow the rules!”

“I have no right to interfere with others’ choices, but I can decide for myself!”

“Well said, for your choice, I must toast to you!

Hey boss, two colas!” Jian Dan waved.

“Cola?” In a situation like this, shouldn’t we be drinking alcohol? Why cola?

“Hehe, I’m a total lightweight with alcohol, so let’s stick to cola!”

“Hehe~”

When the auntie came over to deliver the cola, she scrutinized Jian Dan, “Auntie, you’ve been looking at me for a while now, is there something on my face?”

“No, it’s just that Xiaoting used to always come here alone. Today is the first time she’s brought a friend, so… you two chat, you two chat.”

“Oh~” Jian Dan cast a meaningful look at Yang Xiaoting.

“Stop looking at me like that, it’s creepy!”

“Then I’ll stop!” Jian Dan said with a laugh, shifting his gaze away and continuing to eat his rice noodles.

When the two finished their rice noodles and were heading back to school, they encountered their class monitor, Zhang Yang.

“Hello, Teacher Zhang!”

“Hello to you too!”

“Teacher Zhang, thank you for speaking up for us today!”

“I’m your class monitor; it’s what I should do.

But…” Zhang Yang hesitated.

“If there’s something you want to say, just say it!” Jian Dan sensed Zhang Yang’s difficulty.

“I don’t know what Teacher Wang might do next, so you two better be careful,” Zhang Yang spoke in a veiled manner.

“Thank you, Teacher Zhang, for telling us. We’ll be careful!”

“Hmm, if there’s anything, you can tell me. I’ll try my best to help you solve it!”

“Thank you, Teacher Zhang. You’re really a responsible class monitor.”

“I just hope all of you can graduate smoothly!

Come on, it’s getting late, you should head back to the dorms now!”

“Okay! Goodbye, Teacher Zhang!”

Having taken just a few steps away, Jian Dan suddenly turned around and ran back, whispering to Zhang Yang, “Teacher Zhang, you don’t have a girlfriend, do you?”

“Ah?” Clearly, Zhang Yang hadn’t expected Jian Dan to ask him this question.

“I can tell by your reaction that you don’t. Let me tell you, you have a nice face, but you lack a bit of masculinity. Girls like brave men because it makes them feel safe, you know?”

Jian Dan didn’t even know why he said these things; it just seemed to him that for someone almost thirty years old without a girlfriend was a bit…

With that said, Jian Dan ran off…

Zhang Yang stood there, watching Jian Dan’s retreating figure, momentarily stunned, then quickly shook his head.

That was his student, how could he harbor such inappropriate thoughts about a minor female student?

No, no! Absolutely not!

He stepped away from there…
