Time flew by, and it was the end of the semester.
During the afternoon class meeting, Ming Li and the homeroom teacher entered the classroom together.
Ming Li stood to the side. After the homeroom teacher finished explaining matters concerning the upcoming exams, Ming Li went up to the podium.
Ming Li's gaze swept over the students. A dangerous smile appeared on her handsome face. The students sitting below, seeing the smile on Ming Li's face, straightened their backs even more, trembling.
Ming Li spoke in a faint tone, "If you dare to flunk, you know the consequences! Good luck!"
The students below: ...?! We suspect you're threatening us, but we have no proof.
...
*Ring, ring, ring!*
The bell for the end of class rang. The homeroom teacher left the classroom for a prior engagement. Ming Li's gaze fell upon the students below. After a moment's thought, she spoke, reminding them, "No cheating during the exam. If I catch anyone cheating, you all know what happens!"
The students below: ...?! Know what?! We don't want to know anything!
Recalling the consequences of someone being caught cheating in the previous exam by Ming Li, the students felt they couldn't bear it!
Ming Li: "Alright, class dismissed."
As she finished speaking, Ming Li turned and walked out of the classroom. Seeing Ming Li leave, a few girls below quickly got up from their seats and hurried after her.
As the girls stepped out of the classroom, they saw a girl with long, flowing hair throw herself into Ming Li's arms.
Into Ming Li's arms!
Into Li's arms!
Into arms!
Into!
!
The few girls: ...?! They were utterly shocked! They quickly ran forward and, with envy and jealousy, addressed the girl in Ming Li's arms, "Which class are you from! You bumped into our teacher, do you know that!"
"Yes! Why don't you quickly apologize to our teacher!"
"And get out of our teacher's arms!"
Ming Li's brow furrowed slightly as she looked at Xia Luo, who was withdrawing from her embrace.
Meeting Ming Li's gaze, a suspicious blush crept onto Xia Luo's face.
Ming Li: ...?! What's going on with this female lead?
System in the space: ...?! What are you blushing about, you're a girl!
The girls beside them, seeing Xia Luo staring at Ming Li and blushing, felt extremely displeased.
The few girls: ...?! No, the teacher belongs to them! Anyone else who dares to covet her is not allowed!
Just then, Lin Jue, holding a basketball, walked over.
Lin Jue was considered a campus heartthrob at the school. He had good grades, was good-looking, came from a good family, was sunny, handsome, and polite – the type of person most girls at school liked.
Lin Jue walked to Ming Li's side and stopped. He glanced at Xia Luo before looking away. With a bright smile, he asked Ming Li, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
Ming Li's expression was calm, and her tone was unwavering as she replied, "I was bumped into accidentally. It's nothing."
Lin Jue: "What! Teacher got bumped? Are you hurt?"
Ming Li replied expressionlessly, "Why are you so flustered? I'm fine. Is this Lin Jue the fake male lead? The female lead is standing right in front of him, and he's not paying attention to her, why is he paying attention to me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jue awkwardly raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. "Alright, then Teacher, I'll go play basketball now!"
Ming Li nodded and hummed in acknowledgement.
Lin Jue, holding his basketball, then left. Before departing, Lin Jue glanced at the blushing Xia Luo again, feeling an indescribable, strange sensation in his heart.
