PANT - Chapter 57
Chapter 57
“Why are you looking at me with such surprise?”
Su Tianxue reached out and flicked the white sheet of paper, which rustled in the air.
Su Tianxue: “Weren’t you the one who said you wanted to study?”
Shi Ning whined, “I do want to study.”
Su Tianxue: “Hm?”
She looked at Shi Ning, knowing from her expression that she was about to spout some more of her twisted logic.
Sure enough, she heard Shi Ning say, “But even if I have to study, I need a grace period, right? I haven’t studied in so many years, don’t I need to get back into the groove and find my study mode first?”
Su Tianxue: “You’re just full of excuses.”
Shi Ning hugged Su Tianxue. “Wife~ Wife~~”
Shi Ning: “Besides, I haven’t finished moving, and the materials I bought haven’t arrived yet. Even if I wanted to study today, I wouldn’t know what to study. Right?”
Shi Ning: “Wife, say something.”
Sometimes, Su Tianxue felt that Shi Ning was a real handful.
If she ignored her now, Shi Ning would just keep pestering her like this.
Su Tianxue’s red lips pressed together tightly. When she met Shi Ning’s pitiful gaze, her heart softened slightly. She hesitated for a moment. “Then we’ll rest today?”
Shi Ning: “Really? Really!”
Su Tianxue: How come I suddenly feel a little regretful?
Shi Ning’s eyes narrowed. “A promise is a promise, you know.”
Su Tianxue: “Mm.”
And so, after her strenuous arguments, Shi Ning won herself a day of rest.
She thought this would be her chance to get all cuddly with Su Tianxue, but just as she leaned in for a kiss, Su Tianxue spoke up rationally, “I have something to do.”
Shi Ning’s kiss stopped mid-air.
Shi Ning: “Huh?”
Su Tianxue: “The research institute sent me to a university to be a substitute teacher for an elective course.”
Shi Ning: “So sudden?”
Su Tianxue thought for a moment and decided not to tell Shi Ning about Shen Qingtang.
She was worried Shi Ning would overthink it and go crazy again. Then there would be no stopping her from getting handsy.
She was certain there was nothing between her and Shen Qingtang. Everything that needed to be said had been said, loud and clear.
Yes.
Su Tianxue collected her thoughts and answered Shi Ning’s question. “It is quite sudden. I might need to stay up tonight to organize the course content.”
Shi Ning: “Then I’ll keep you company.”
Shi Ning: “It’s the perfect chance to get into a study mindset from being around you. You don’t mind, do you, Wife?”
Su Tianxue had a feeling this was a bit tricky, but she couldn’t think of a reason to refuse, so she nodded and agreed.
Shi Ning let out a cheerful “ehehe” and entered the house to change her shoes.
Just as she was about to grab her phone to look up a recipe and head to the kitchen, Su Tianxue called her name.
Shi Ning turned around. Su Tianxue had taken off her coat and set down her bag of work documents, and was now walking toward her.
Her steps were light, like a snowflake gently drifting down from the sky.
Then, the snowflake landed on her lips.
Shi Ning’s eyes widened slightly.
After a brief kiss, Su Tianxue pulled away. “You go cook. I’m going to the study.”
Shi Ning watched Su Tianxue’s retreating back, then raised a hand, her fingertips gently tracing the spot on her lips that had been kissed. A smile bloomed in her eyes.
As she turned to cook, Shi Ning was humming a song.
Su Tianxue hadn’t closed the study door. Hearing the lighthearted tune coming from her, she couldn’t help but smile and shake her head as she continued to search for materials on her computer.
She had no experience as a teacher.
Su Tianxue decided to first search online for what was generally taught in astronomy electives and refer to the course content of other teachers.
Shi Ning made stir-fried pork with young ginger and added a side of garlic broccoli.
Su Wanxing wasn’t coming back today. Perhaps her conscience had finally kicked in, and she had decided not to be a third wheel.
After finishing the meal, Shi Ning clapped her hands in satisfaction, took off her apron, and snapped a picture with her phone.
She then smugly posted it on her social media.
Shi Ning: Dinner :) [Image]
Qin Li replied: Is it edible?
Ye Wanlan replied: It looks delicious!
Zhu Yu replied: You should thank your friend, me, for this, right?
Su Wanxing replied to Zhu Yu: What! You think I want to stay home and be fed dog food?!
Mo Lingyuan replied: Did Sister Su make this? It looks so yummy /lust
Shi Ning replied to Mo Lingyuan: I made it.
Mo Lingyuan replied to Shi Ning: Oh, give me your address. I’ll order some antidiarrheal medicine for you.
Shi Ning couldn’t be bothered to deal with Mo Lingyuan!
Mo Lingyuan then sent Shi Ning a private message.
Mo Lingyuan: When did you learn to cook?
Shi Ning: Big sis, you’ve been gone for ten years.
Mo Lingyuan: I ate the egg-fried rice you made in high school. One bite gave me diarrhea for three days. Shi Ning, has your cooking improved by leaps and bounds in the last ten years?
Shi Ning could tell Mo Lingyuan was probing her.
Shi Ning: What kind of answer are you hoping for?
She leaned against the table as she replied to the message: Is there an answer you’re expecting?
Mo Lingyuan didn’t reply for a long time.
Su Tianxue came out of the study. She took off her glasses and stretched.
Shi Ning had never seen Su Tianxue wear glasses before.
Shi Ning: “Wife, are you nearsighted?”
But she hadn’t seen Su Tianxue put in or take out contact lenses these past few days either.
Su Tianxue casually placed the glasses on a cabinet and walked over. “Not really, I have a slight astigmatism.”
She pulled out a chair and sat down. “Let’s eat.”
Shi Ning sat down beside her and asked expectantly, “Is it good?”
Su Tianxue tried a bite and nodded.
Shi Ning’s anxious heart settled down, and she picked up her chopsticks to eat.
During the meal, Su Tianxue noticed that Shi Ning was secretly rubbing her fingertips.
Su Tianxue: “Did you hurt yourself?”
Shi Ning shook her head. “No, it just feels a little spicy.”
Su Tianxue glanced at the dishes on the table and guessed, “You probably got some chili on your hands while handling the peppers.”
Shi Ning: “It’s fine, it’ll be better in a bit.”
Su Tianxue: “Give me your hand.”
Su Tianxue was rarely this assertive, but when she was, Shi Ning couldn’t refuse.
She obediently extended her hand, bringing her stinging ring finger closer.
Su Tianxue held her fingertip and blew on it gently.
After the soft, cool breeze, Su Tianxue’s eyes seemed to soften considerably.
Just when Shi Ning thought Su Tianxue might put her fingertip in her mouth to help soothe the pain, Su Tianxue suddenly stood up and found some burn ointment in a nearby storage cabinet.
MEBO burn ointment—a tried and true remedy.
After gently applying it, she could smell a faint scent of sesame oil.
Su Tianxue went to clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes. Shi Ning sat on the sofa, looking at her finger and thinking: So useless. I’ll have to find a chance to wash this ointment off later. Otherwise… if we have any intimate contact, won’t it get all over Su Tianxue’s clothes? By then, the smell of sesame oil will probably fill the entire room.
Not good, not good at all.
After dinner, Su Tianxue returned to the study to continue organizing her materials.
Shi Ning followed her closely. “Wife, you said you’d let me observe.”
Since she was being treated as a slacker, she had to properly absorb the divine aura of an academic prodigy!
At first, Su Tianxue didn’t think it was a big deal.
Ever since she was a child, she had been the type who could focus intently on her own books. Even if other children were playing hide-and-seek, sandbags, or house next to her, she wouldn’t be affected.
Her concentration had always been excellent.
Su Tianxue was the kind of kid adults talked about who could read seriously even in a bustling market.
From a young age, Su Tianxue had accompanied her grandmother, reading every day at a lively bookstall. Over time, she developed this extraordinary ability to concentrate.
From childhood until now, that focus had never wavered.
So, it shouldn’t be a problem for Shi Ning to watch her while she worked.
At least, that’s what Su Tianxue thought at first.
But when she actually started preparing for work, seriously reviewing other teachers’ PowerPoint presentations and planning her own lecture content, Shi Ning’s gaze remained fixed on her—naked, direct, and completely undisguised.
That gaze was too intense.
It was impossible to ignore.
Su Tianxue endured it for a while before she finally couldn’t take it anymore.
Her hand, which had been moving the mouse, stopped. Her gaze shifted from the computer screen to Shi Ning’s face.
The thin, black frames of her glasses made Su Tianxue look even more scholarly and abstinent.
Without needing to speak, Su Tianxue’s eyes did the talking for her.
Those beautiful eyes, as bright as stars in the night, were saying: What are you looking at?
Shi Ning cupped her face, making no effort to hide her infatuated expression. She adopted a coquettish pose and said magnanimously, “Wife, don’t mind me. Just keep doing your thing.”
Hearing this, Su Tianxue turned back to the screen.
This time, she lasted about three minutes.
Shi Ning asked knowingly, “What’s wrong?”
Su Tianxue answered with patience, “I can’t work with you looking at me like that.”
Shi Ning huffed. “Why not?”
Shi Ning: “I’m not doing anything else right now. How can I not work just by looking at you? I’m not even talking.”
She was being so wronged!
Seeing that Shi Ning seemed intent on denying it, Su Tianxue said, “Your eyes.”
Shi Ning: “My wife is so beautiful, is it a crime to look?”
There was no point in reasoning with this person; Shi Ning always seemed to have her own twisted logic.
Su Tianxue said pointedly, “Your thoughts are distracting me.”
Shi Ning pouted. “What? You really think you’re Sherlock Holmes?”
Shi Ning muttered under her breath, “My mind isn’t thinking about anything at all.”
As she said this, her voice lacked conviction, and she looked a little guilty.
Just as Su Tianxue was about to present the evidence to Shi Ning and let her face the facts, Shi Ning preemptively made an excuse. “Tell me, how are my thoughts distracting you?”
As she said this, Shi Ning had the air of a villain accusing the victim first.
Su Tianxue remained silent.
Shi Ning answered for her, “Why is that? Is it because when my gaze falls on your lips, you think of me kissing you?”
“Is it because when my gaze falls on other parts of you, you feel that it’s not just my gaze landing there, right?”
Since Shi Ning had been so blunt, Su Tianxue no longer tried to hide it.
Su Tianxue: “Yes.”
She had to admit, when Shi Ning asked, that was indeed what she was thinking.
Shi Ning chuckled lightly. “You’re right.”
Su Tianxue met Shi Ning’s almost provocative, ambiguous gaze.
Shi Ning: “Wife, I don’t think we’ve ever tried it in your study.”
In the past, Shi Ning would never have dared to mention the study in front of Su Tianxue.
She was afraid that such a serious person like Su Tianxue, upon learning what was in her mind, would tear her to shreds and throw her out.
Today was the first time she had spent so long with Su Tianxue in the study, and it was also the first time such a thought had occurred to Shi Ning.
Hearing Shi Ning’s words, two words popped into Su Tianxue’s mind: Absurd.
These two words were like a giant boulder falling from the sky, landing squarely in the ocean of Su Tianxue’s consciousness and crashing onto the beach.
It was firmly rooted, impossible to move.
Su Tianxue thought, This person’s mind must be filled with nothing but this kind of lewd trash.
She said irritably, “Didn’t you say you came to my study to get into a learning mood? With you like this, how do you plan to get any studying done later?”
Shi Ning had just spoken impulsively. “Why can’t I? As long as my wife is willing to encourage me every day and give me rewards, I’ll definitely learn super fast.”
Shi Ning had only been questioned and had blurted out nonsense without thinking, but unexpectedly, it sparked a deep thought in Su Tianxue.
Su Tianxue’s fingers moved slightly, typing a few words into the keyboard. After a search, the vague idea she had just now took on a more concrete form.
The difference between an academic prodigy and a slacker is that the prodigy’s learning is self-motivated and autonomous.
For a prodigy, it is curiosity and a thirst for knowledge that drives them to learn.
This deep-seated pursuit of knowledge becomes their motivation.
However, for a slacker, it is difficult to derive pure joy from learning. Most of the time, they only experience feelings of frustration.
Therefore… to motivate them to study seriously, one must use external forces.
For example: a reward system.
This kind of system didn’t have much of a chance to appear in Su Tianxue’s own childhood, but she remembered that when Su Wanxing was in school, their parents liked to link Su Wanxing’s academic performance to the quality of her rewards.
Thinking back now, it was a simple, effective, and crude method.
With this idea in mind, Su Tianxue began to seriously formulate a plan, completely ignoring Shi Ning.
Shi Ning was utterly bewildered. She tried to lean in for a look, but Su Tianxue dodged her and then pushed her right out of the study.
Staring at the suddenly closed study door, Shi Ning let out a long sigh.
What to do?
My wife loves studying too much, what should I do?
Shi Ning took out her phone to check if the materials she had purchased would arrive tomorrow.
The reason Shi Ning wasn’t nervous about the bar exam yet was that she had briefly reviewed the legislation of the two worlds on the internet. Although there were some differences, the fundamental principles of law and justice were basically the same.
The remaining work was memorization and comprehension, which for her was the easiest part of the process.
It sounded a bit like bragging, but Shi Ning did have something of a photographic memory.
She had originally planned to finish all the moving matters in the next two days and then start studying with full concentration, but she hadn’t expected… Su Tianxue to have such a sense of urgency.
Su Tianxue didn’t know she had a long-accumulated cheat code from another world, so it was only natural for her to be so worried.
Shi Ning was even considering whether she should give Su Tianxue a little hint to demonstrate her ability, just to put her ever-anxious wife at ease.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Ning couldn’t help but take out her phone and message Su Wanxing, who was once again not coming home today.
Shi Ning: When you were a kid, did your sister ever make a study plan for you?
Su Wanxing: I don’t know why you’re asking, but yes, she did. What’s up?
Shi Ning: What a coincidence, my exam plan has arrived too.
Su Wanxing: Now you can enjoy Su Tianxue’s 24-hour tutoring service :)
Su Wanxing: I was very honored to receive this kind of remote tutoring during my senior year of high school.
Su Wanxing: The results were excellent /smile
When Shi Ning saw this message, she stared at the smiley face Su Wanxing had sent. The more she looked at it, the stranger it seemed.
Just as she was about to express her sympathy for Su Wanxing and convey her deep empathy for her past suffering…
The study door opened, and Su Tianxue walked out.
She came out with another written document.
Shi Ning felt a sense of dread just looking at it, worried it was another strictly enforced schedule.
Su Tianxue handed her the document. “Take a look.”
Shi Ning said pitifully, “Wife, can I refuse?”
Su Tianxue didn’t speak, merely raising an eyebrow, and Shi Ning surrendered.
Sighing, she took the document, thinking that the worst that could happen was that her cuddles for the next ten days to half a month would vanish into thin air.
She would just pretend she wasn’t taking the bar exam, but going on a spiritual retreat at a temple.
It’s just abstinence!!
She can do it!!!!!
She, Shi Ning, can absolutely do it!!!!
Shi Ning had already mentally prepared herself. She looked down at the document in her hand and was stunned.
In black and white, the document clearly stated: Shi Ning’s Study Reward and Punishment System Overview.
To be honest, seeing this title, Shi Ning’s first thought was that she was about to be dragged off to military training.
But as she read on, her page-turning slowed down.
1. Complete today’s study goal. After assessment and passing, you can receive one kiss.
2. Achieve the target score on a mock test, and you can get one opportunity to unlock any map.
3. …
Su Tianxue had detailed what Shi Ning could do after successfully completing each study task.
And the final reward, for passing the bar exam, was enough to make Shi Ning’s breath catch.
The black Song typeface clearly described a single sentence: If you successfully pass the bar exam, you will be rewarded with one【100% Agree Card】.
Tsk.
Shi Ning couldn’t help but press her tongue against the inside of her cheek. Her gaze, filled with a hunter’s intent, fell upon Su Tianxue. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, “Wife, what exactly does this 100% Agree Card mean?”
The tips of Su Tianxue’s ears had long since turned red.
It seemed that in order to make Shi Ning study properly, she had thoroughly offered herself up.
Su Tianxue was unwilling to meet Shi Ning’s gaze, so she looked down, staring at the soil of a low potted plant in the house as she spoke. “It means what it says.”
Shi Ning enunciated each word, “Let me translate. Does it mean I can play however I want?”
Hearing Shi Ning say this, Su Tianxue’s ears burned even hotter.
She had mentally prepared for this, so why did it still feel so embarrassing when Shi Ning said it out loud?
Shi Ning: “Is that right, Wife? I didn’t misunderstand, did I?”
Shi Ning was like a hunter, closing in step by step.
Su Tianxue pursed her lips. “Yes.”
A dangerous smile appeared in Shi Ning’s eyes. “Even if I play you till you’re broken?”
……
Play… broken.
Su Tianxue felt like her head was about to explode.
She said coldly, “You can try.”
Shi Ning: “I’ll be looking forward to it.”
She curled her lips at Su Tianxue. “Wife, give me a pen. Let’s sign a contract.”
Su Tianxue: “?”
Shi Ning: “We will strictly adhere to the plan you’ve drafted, with absolutely no violations.”
Su Tianxue: Something feels strange all of a sudden.
Su Tianxue added cautiously, “If you fail to complete a task, it will be deducted from future quotas.”
Shi Ning smiled. “So you’ve already calculated and prepared for us to do this kind of thing in the future?”
Shi Ning: “Wife, do you want it that badly?”
Hearing Shi Ning’s words, Su Tianxue felt like she was the one being unfairly accused.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to defend herself.
Only then did she realize that this person, Shi Ning, was truly worthy of someone who kept saying she wanted to be a lawyer, take the bar exam, and handle her case.
Seeing that Su Tianxue was about to be pushed to her breaking point by her teasing, Shi Ning obediently shut up and said no more.
If she accidentally angered the kitty, the loss would truly outweigh the gain.
The document in her hand was her biggest treat for the foreseeable future.
She couldn’t let anything slip and make Su Tianxue regret it.
Shi Ning decided to quickly get Su Tianxue to “sign on the dotted line” so they could start implementing the contents from tomorrow.
After all that was done, Shi Ning grabbed Su Tianxue’s wrist. “Wife, can I get an advance?”
Su Tianxue: “?”
Did Shi Ning think she was running a convenience store?
A cuddle convenience store?
And she wanted to buy on credit?
Shi Ning said logically, “This is also to stimulate my motivation to study. If I don’t redeem a little in advance, how will I know how good the reward is? Right?”
“Stores that sell things always have people offering free samples to try.”
Su Tianxue: “…”
She was speechless.
Truly speechless.
When it came to this matter, hadn’t Shi Ning had more than enough samples?
She knew that continuing to argue with Shi Ning would be futile.
The best way to deal with her was to shut her up first.
With a hint of frustration, she reached out, pulled Shi Ning closer, and was about to kiss her when Shi Ning grinned. “Wife, put this on and kiss me, okay?”
Puzzled, Su Tianxue looked down. At some point, Shi Ning had retrieved the glasses she had taken off and set aside, and was now holding them out to her.
Although she didn’t understand why Shi Ning wanted this, Su Tianxue did as she was told.
She herself didn’t realize how high her tolerance was for this thick-skinned, nonsense-spouting person.
Kissing with glasses on intensified Shi Ning’s feeling of desecrating something sacred.
She chuckled lightly and, before leaning in, said to Su Tianxue, “Teacher Su, I’m going to kiss you.”
Because of the glasses, she had to tilt Su Tianxue’s chin up and angle her head to kiss her.
As their lips touched, she spoke again before deepening the kiss. “Actually, from the first moment I saw you, the moment I saw you standing at the lectern, I’ve wanted to kiss you like this.”
Two words popped into Su Tianxue’s mind.
Lunatic.
What kind of nonsensical gibberish was this?
Later, those two words turned into whimpers.
They became fragmented, falling notes.
Time and space twisted. Within this kiss, it was as if everything around them was changing.
This wasn’t home, but a classroom.
Lectern, blackboard, desks.
A girl in a school uniform skirt was kissing her teacher.
Su Tianxue could hardly remember how things had progressed to the end.
The leap was almost like going from a classroom to an office, where the things on the desk were swept to the floor with one hand, and the door was locked from the inside.
In reality, it was from the living room to the bedroom.
Which sentence was it that made everything crumble?
Perhaps it was because Shi Ning had said, “Don’t worry, Su Wanxing isn’t coming home today.”
The star wasn’t coming home, so this was a night that belonged to her and her moon.
A long-awaited night.
Su Tianxue felt that her sacrifice had been very effective.
After all, starting from the next day, Shi Ning seemed like a completely different person, fully immersed in her studies.
Their conversations were about study check-ins and sharing progress at all times.
After a week of this, Su Tianxue felt that Shi Ning’s level had improved a little.
This day was the day before Su Tianxue was scheduled to teach at the university.
She and Shi Ning were studying together as usual.
Shi Ning had originally said she would go to her rented apartment to study, but somehow, it ended up with her staying in Su Tianxue’s study.
Law books were placed alongside astronomy books.
The bookshelf had some new colors.
Previously, Su Tianxue’s bookshelf had almost never held any other books.
Shi Ning was studying seriously until she heard Su Tianxue answer a phone call.
Until she heard Su Tianxue say a name.
“Shen Qingtang, what is it?”
Shi Ning gripped the black marker in her hand, and a forceful line was drawn across her notebook.
The mark was proof of how unstable the pen holder’s emotions were.
Three minutes. Shi Ning watched the time. Three minutes.
When Su Tianxue returned from the call, Shi Ning asked with a smile, “You’re still in contact with Shen Qingtang?”
For some reason, Su Tianxue felt a little guilty under Shi Ning’s gaze.
She explained, “The university I was assigned to as an elective teacher is the one where Shen Qingtang works. She’s a teacher in the school’s logistics and political education department, responsible for managing personnel arrangements.”
It sounded legitimate, with nothing strange about it.
But—
Shi Ning: “Wife, why didn’t you tell me before?”
Su Tianxue: “…”
She felt guilty.
It had been a long time since Su Tianxue had experienced this feeling.
Shi Ning’s smile widened. “Wife, I suddenly feel that studying at home is very inefficient. Why don’t I go to the school library to study when you go to class tomorrow?”
Su Tianxue: “Is that okay?”
Shi Ning: “Is it not okay?”
Su Tianxue: “…”
She had a feeling that if she said no, Shi Ning would probably pounce on her and bite her in the next second.
If there were a biting competition in this world, Shi Ning would definitely be the champion.
Su Tianxue cleared her throat. “Then we’ll leave together tomorrow?”
Shi Ning smiled. “Okay.”
Shi Ning: “By the way, should we invite this Teacher Shen to have lunch with us tomorrow?”
She deliberately emphasized the title of a certain person.
Su Tianxue: “I really have no relationship with her.”
Shi Ning: “After all, this Teacher Shen went through the trouble of introducing you to a job. We should return the favor, shouldn’t we?”
Seeing Shi Ning like this, Su Tianxue felt a headache coming on.
She sighed lightly. “Fine. I’ll tell her.”
Shi Ning: “Our Teacher Su is a busy person. Why don’t I be the one to tell Teacher Shen about this?”
Shi Ning held out her hand to Su Tianxue.
Su Tianxue handed over her phone.
Shi Ning took it and glanced at it. The chat history between Su Tianxue and Shen Qingtang was completely normal.
This Shen Qingtang person wasn’t shameless enough to message Su Tianxue every day.
Shi Ning thought to herself, This person knows her place, at least.
However, secretly using work as an excuse to get closer to Su Tianxue…
How could she allow such a thing?
Shi Ning sent a message.
A moment later, a message popped up on Shen Qingtang’s phone.
This was almost the first time in a long while that she had received a message initiated by Su Tianxue. Shen Qingtang had just finished showering and came out wrapped in a bath towel. Hearing the special notification sound she had set for Su Tianxue, she excitedly walked over barefoot, leaving a trail of wet footprints.
She picked up her phone and looked at it, and the smile on her face froze.
Su Tianxue: Hello, Miss Shen. I am Su Tianxue’s wife, Shi Ning. We met last time. I heard that you happen to work at the school my wife is going to tomorrow. I was thinking we could have lunch together. I wonder if you have time?
……
Did Su Tianxue indulge Shi Ning this much?
Was it okay for her to just watch as Shi Ning sent her such a message?
Shen Qingtang clearly remembered that back in high school, Su Tianxue was the person with the clearest boundaries.
Back then, even getting a glimpse of Su Tianxue’s phone was an incredibly difficult task.
Su Tianxue would always say that everyone has their own space, and even friends should respect each other’s privacy.
Now…
Shen Qingtang gritted her teeth, grabbed a glass from the table, and smashed it on the floor.
Outside the room, a servant’s frightened cry could be heard.
“Madam, are you, are you alright?”
Shen Qingtang suppressed her anger and replied, “I’m fine.”
She stared at the shattered glass on the floor. All the fragments seemed to reflect her face.
A distorted, angry face, filled with hatred.
The next day, Shi Ning swaggered into the university with Su Tianxue.
When the security guard at the gate asked, Shi Ning replied righteously, “I’m family.”
The two of them walking on campus attracted a lot of attention.
Walking among the new students, their temperaments stood out. Two beauties, one cold and one warm, were hard to ignore.
Halfway there, someone seemed to recognize them.
A young girl ran over screaming, saying excitedly, “Excuse me, are-are you First Time Seeing Snow?”
Shi Ning: “What?”
The girl corrected herself, “Are you Shi Ning and Su Tianxue?”
Shi Ning: “Yes, you know us?”
The girl let out two loud screams and waved her hands around. “I-I-I really love your variety show, and I-I-I also love watching you two kiss. Th-that, can I take a picture with you?”
What was all this about?
Su Tianxue said coldly, “Are you a student at this school?”
Seeing Su Tianxue acknowledge her, the girl screamed again. “Yes, yes, I am.”
Su Tianxue: “Study hard.”
Meaning, don’t waste your energy on such trivial matters.
Loves watching her and Shi Ning kiss?
What did that mean?
Had they kissed that many times on the show?
The girl completely missed Su Tianxue’s subtext and replied with a shy blush, “I will, Sister Su, I will study hard.”
Shi Ning smiled and shook her head. She took the girl’s phone, and the three of them took a selfie.
After the photo, she realized a line had almost formed in that spot.
They were all their fans.
The matter only ended when security came to disperse the crowd.
Su Tianxue had to go to the dean’s office for a meeting, so Shi Ning wandered around the campus alone. She put on a mask, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble for Su Tianxue at the school.
She looked down at her phone and saw a message from Zhu Yu. Only then did she realize that the news of her and Su Tianxue being at the university today had already spread online.
Zhu Yu: Looks like your CP fans are everywhere.
Zhu Yu: Seems like there are more of them than my fans.
Shi Ning opened Weibo. A gossip account had, from somewhere, stolen the photo they had just taken with the fan and posted it online.
《Shocking! Why did First Time Seeing Snow appear on campus! Could Love Bus 3 be starting soon!》
《Filming a romance show at a university, can you imagine?》
Shi Ning: These gossip accounts are really good at making things up.
A netizen replied: That’s not it at all, okay? I saw Sister Su’s name on our school’s elective course list. It should be Sister Su coming to teach, and Shi Ning is clinging to her and tagging along.
Shi Ning: Clinging to her?
Shi Ning gritted her teeth and clicked on this netizen’s Weibo profile.
Then she discovered that the netizen, named “I Really Don’t Want to Go to School,” had posted a new message.
I Really Don’t Want to Go to School: Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have told you guys about this. How did I get here two minutes late and there are no seats left in the classroom!!
I Really Don’t Want to Go to School: You people aren’t here to study at all!!!!!
There was still half an hour before Su Tianxue’s elective class was supposed to start.
Judging by the netizen’s post, it was probably already packed.
Shi Ning pursed her lips, came up with a plan, and sent a private message to this netizen from her official account.
Then she acted as if nothing had happened and went to meet up with Su Tianxue, who had finished her meeting.
Su Tianxue’s meaning was that during class, Shi Ning might need to find a place to stay for a while.
Shi Ning told Su Tianxue not to worry. At her age, she could definitely take care of herself.
As soon as Su Tianxue left, Shi Ning sent a message to “I Really Don’t Want to Go to School.”
Shi Ning: Did you get a seat?
I Really Don’t Want to Go to School: Sister Shi!! You are my one and only sister!!
I Really Don’t Want to Go to School: Got it, got it, come quick, come quick.
Shi Ning: Thanks.
I Really Don’t Want to Go to School: No problem, no problem, it’s my honor to be able to ship the CP up close!!!!
And so, when Su Tianxue walked up to the lectern, she could see at a glance, in the extremely crowded classroom, a certain red-haired woman wearing a hat and a mask, pretending to be a university student.
……
The disguise was basically no disguise at all.
Su Tianxue thought, wherever Shi Ning was, she could spot her in an instant.
Although she wasn’t sure why Shi Ning was hiding like this, Su Tianxue composed herself and pretended not to have noticed.
She prepared to start the class as usual.
The projector turned on, displaying the PowerPoint Su Tianxue had made on the screen.
“Hello everyone, my name is Su Tianxue, and I will be your teacher for this semester’s Introduction to Astronomy and the Universe elective. You can call me Teacher Su. The first five minutes of class are for discussion. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”
A troublemaker immediately raised their hand. “Teacher! Are you in a relationship!”
Shi Ning: Am I not standing tall enough? Was my variety show not popular enough? Why are people still asking this kind of question?
