Chapter 698: Chapter 699 Don’t Persuade Me
Fu Yunhe, who was said to be unenthusiastic, bent over following Nian Shutong’s push.
The next second, his pupils contracted and the soft sensation on his lips told the story of what was happening.
Such softness was entirely unlike Nian Shutong’s usual manner.
It seemed a bit sweet too, but that sweetness was gradually fading, and the soft touch was moving away.
Fu Yunhe wasn’t a fool. If not now, then when?
He spread his arms, pulling the retreating Nian Shutong back and tightly embraced her in his arms.
Their lips collided, initially awkward, the tentative kiss turned passionate.
When Fu Yunhe felt Nian Shutong’s force increasing under his grasp, he immediately loosened his hold and stepped back slightly, yet his arms still encircled her.
"Is this passionate enough?" he said.
Encircled in Fu Yunhe’s arms, Nian Shutong, with her back completely against his arms, said without any shyness, all comfortable and at ease, "Not bad, I quite like it."
Nian Shutong’s frankness stirred Fu Yunhe a bit, but she held him off with a finger.
"That’s enough, this is school."
Nian Shutong patted Fu Yunhe’s arm, and he understandingly let go, and they both sat down on the chair.
Nian Shutong took out several packs of seeds and fried peanuts and said to Fu Yunhe, "Eat and talk."
Seeing the unmoving Fu Yunhe, she asked curiously, "You don’t like it? These are all Master Fan’s cooking skills."
Fu Yunhe shook his head, "No, it’s just that I still have a class to attend."
"Oh my! I forgot!" exclaimed Nian Shutong.
"Come on, what are you waiting for, don’t be late," she urged Fu Yunhe.
Fu Yunhe had already stood up, his eyes reluctantly gazing at Nian Shutong as if it was the last time.
"What are you still looking at, I’m not leaving!" she said.
Nian Shutong threw a peanut at Fu Yunhe, but her words did remind him of something.
"Ha ha, I forgot as well!"
"I’m going now, I’ll find you tonight."
Fu Yunhe ran out of the office, used a few instances of Instantaneous Movement, quickly arrived at the classroom, and started his class.
His classmates were all doubting their own reality. When did he arrive? How did he arrive?
Why didn’t they see him just before? Such a charismatic figure was sitting beside them, and they had completely overlooked him?
Fu Yunhe was unaware of his classmates’ confusion. He was filled with the excitement of possibly seeing Nian Shutong again and the thrill of that kiss today, but these were pushed aside when the teacher came in to start the lesson.
On the other side, Nian Shutong wasn’t without feelings either. Alone, she threw up a peanut and caught it with her mouth, unable to help but laugh.
"Xiao He does have a bit of dominance to him, quite handsome."
After eating a few peanuts, Nian Shutong packed up the things on the table, pushed open the door, and walked out with nothing much else to do, deciding to head back.
Just as she stepped out, she saw Lian Qing sitting and meditating five meters away, surrounded by an aura of spiritual energy flow, seemingly close to leveling up.
She was starting to have high hopes for this reserve disciple.
Nian Shutong didn’t call out to Lian Qing, not only did she not call out, but she also casually threw a Spiritual Energy Shield around him to prevent disturbances.
As for herself, staying anywhere was just the same, might as well continue eating peanuts in the office.
Back in the office, Nian Shutong decisively opened her Light Computer, first checked Fu Yunhe’s class schedule to get an idea, then with nothing else urgent, she made a call to Lin Mu.
When the communication was established, Lin Mu’s voice came through.
"Two big Buddhas are back again."
"How do you know it’s two big Buddhas?"
Lin Mu, while walking, pointed his mouth towards the video of Nian Shutong and said, "I used my eyes, of course. The people who can make Nian Shutong this polite aren’t many."
"Although I don’t know their specific identities, they are definitely not simple."
Nian Shutong smiled in agreement and said, "Quite clever."
"You don’t need to bother with them. They just want to get close to Dou Dou. If you pretend you don’t know, it will save you a lot of trouble, right?"
"That’s true."
After chatting casually for a while, Nian Shutong learned that everything was fine on Blue Star and stopped worrying.
"Say, when are you coming back?"
Lin Mu’s question made Nian Shutong sit up straight and say seriously, "Lin Mu, haven’t you heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder? It should at least take a couple of days."
"Ha! As if your new fling would last only two or three days!"
"True, you don’t need to persuade me. I’ll just stay a few more days, then."
Nian Shutong’s immediate concession made Lin Mu on the other side wish he could punch her through the screen.
"Good for you, Nian Shutong. Stay if you want to stay. Who’s persuading you!"
"Hehe, I find you quite attractive when you’re angry."
Having said that, Nian Shutong immediately hung up the communication and burst out laughing alone in her office.
Indeed, a playful spar really lifted her spirits.
While she was feeling happy, a wave of spiritual energy fluctuation made her immediately go out the door—Lian Qing had advanced to the Qi Cultivation Third Layer.
Considering the time, it was just over half a month, and Lian Qing had reached this level, truly a genius.
After Lian Qing had adjusted his breath, he opened his eyes and saw the Spiritual Energy Shield surrounding him. He turned his head and saw Nian Shutong standing at the door, feeling very grateful.
"Thank you, Mr. Nian, for stepping in."
After these words, both felt a bit awkward.
"How about you call me Professor Nian from now on? After all, I’ve earned some credentials."
"That works. Thanks to Professor Nian, I’ve even earned a Teaching Assistant title. If it were before, I might not even have been able to get into this school."
Nian Shutong had already removed the shield, and Lian Qing got up and walked over.
"Lian Qing, isn’t the title of professor one that needs to be earned rather than just given arbitrarily?"
"Generally, not only academic credentials but also teaching experience and professorial reviews are needed to be called a professor."
"But there are special cases, like honorary personnel like you, who can be called visiting professors."
Nian Shutong nodded in understanding, being a professor was fine, she considered herself a cultured person now.
"Right, could you tell the teacher who schedules the classes that I will be teaching every afternoon this week, same time, same place, and ask them to schedule it?"
"Sure, I’ll go right now."
Lian Qing turned and went downstairs—Nian Shutong’s classes were always added last minute.
The principal had spoken, all schedules were centered around Nian Shutong’s, so if she wanted to add a class, other teachers had to adjust accordingly.
Now Nian Shutong really had nothing else to do—she had eaten almost all of her peanuts, maybe she should casually bump into Fu Yunhe?
Thinking it over, she decided to go. Nian Shutong closed her office door and headed toward the classroom where Fu Yunhe was teaching.
