All she could do was respond, “OK.”
So, after class, she waited outside for Gu Qingli to finish work.
When Gu Qingli finished everything, he stepped out and joined her…
As they walked, Ziyan felt like everyone was staring at her, but Gu Qingli did not feel anything out of the ordinary.
After all, everyone knew that she was his student.
“What do you want to eat?” Gu Qingli asked gently.
“Anything, I’m not a picky eater,” Ziyan replied.
“I know of a decent restaurant, let’s go there,” Gu Qingli led Ziyan to the parking lot and drove her across New York to a fancy restaurant on the other side of town.
The two then sat down at a table beside the window. Ziyan’s gaze was glued to the man in front of her, unable to look elsewhere.
But, Gu Qingli did not mind at all.
“This is my first time having dinner with a woman.”
“Didn’t you say you were married yesterday?”
“That was just a lie,” Gu Qingli replied as he took a sip of his coffee. “In fact, if you hadn’t said what you said to me yesterday, I may have continued with that lie.”
Ziyan felt a little embarrassed, unsure of how to face Gu Qingli.
“Where did your courage from yesterday go?” Gu Qingli couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Ziyan’s exp**ssion.
“I’m a woman. I’m very sensitive,” Ziyan said quietly.
“Ziyan, you’re a good student that everyone likes,” Gu Qingli appraised. “Have you read through the information I gave you?”
Gu Qingli finally changed the subject, so Ziyan quickly nodded her head, “Yes, thank you, Professor Gu.”
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always ask me,” Gu Qingli said. “I’m not sure how I can help you apart from this.”
Ziyan felt like Gu Qingli was still being too reserved. After all, she had already exp**ssed her feelings clearly to him.
So, to prevent herself from fantasizing, she once again gathered her courage and asked, “Professor Gu, you know how I feel about you, right?”
“You made it very clear yesterday.”
“Well…since you know how I feel and you’re willing to contact me in private, does that mean…”
“It means I also notice you,” Gu Qingli replied in seriousness. “The university has its rules: there can be no relationsh*ps bet**en students and teachers. But, I still want to try and get to know you.”
“So, Ziyan, don’t feel uncomfortable around me. Let’s let things develop naturally, OK?”
This man was much too gentle and caring. So much so, that Ziyan was completely charmed by him. So, of course she agreed.
She had wanted this even in her dreams.
“OK.”
“Let’s order then. I’ll order what you like.”
Ziyan held onto the menu and picked out exactly what Gu Qingli liked. After observing him for 4 years, she knew his tastes well.
“It appears, you know everything I like.”
Ziyan realized she may have been too direct and revealed too much. So she started to worry that Gu Qingli would think she wasn’t very reserved.
“I simply took notice of you…here and there.”
Gu Qingli revealed a handsome smile and did not ask any further. Women were sensitive, so he couldn’t embarrass her.
“It seems, I need to work harder.”
“Huh?” Ziyan didn’t understand what Gu Qingli was trying to say.
“To understand you better.”
Ziyan had to admit that she cherished this meal, but she also felt really restrained by it. She wanted to show her best side to Gu Qingli, but it made her feel like she was holding back.
Perhaps, Gu Qingli could sense that she was tiptoeing around him, so after they finished eating, he said to Ziyan, “From now on, you can act normally at dinner. Since I’m already seated here, I’m not going to leave that easily.”
Ziyan lifted her head and saw Gu Qingli’s smile; it was extremely warm.
This was the gentle person he was. That’s why Ziyan couldn’t let go of him…
“Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
“I live on campus,” Ziyan replied.
“I’ll escort you nearby,” Gu Qingli said as he locked his car and walked in front of Ziyan. Ziyan was a little surprised as she realized that Gu Qingli meant he was going to walk her home.
Like a little student, Ziyan followed behind Gu Qingli and Gu Qingli couldn’t help but laugh at this.
“Come walk beside me…”
Ziyan caught up and walked next to Gu Qingli. At this time of the night, they still ran into some students along the way. However, no one thought there was anything out of the ordinary bet**en Ziyan and Gu Qingli. After all, students often went to look for Gu Qingli.
Soon, the two reached the outside of Ziyan’s dormitory. While no one was around, Gu Qingli said to Ziyan, “I thought you were brave after what you said yesterday, but it seems, you’re just a little chicken.”
“Yesterday…I was a little impulsive,” Ziyan said as she lowered her head.
“Ziyan, I’m not as scary as you think,” Gu Qingli said as he patted Ziyan on the head. “Go up and have a good rest so you can focus on class tomorrow.”
“Yes, Professor Gu,” Ziyan nodded.
After he watched her leave, Gu Qingli laughed to himself, “I thought she was a sly fox, but she’s just a gentle little rabbit.”
Ziyan was actually disappointed with her performance that day; she had appeared too dopey in front of Gu Qingli.
She couldn’t understand why she had acted that way.
She obviously had no trouble interacting with other people…
That night, Ziyan and Gu Qingli did not message each other. It was as though nothing had happened bet**en them.
This made Ziyan feel like everything was just a dream.
The next morning, Ziyan had another one of Gu Qingli’s classes. As she sat mesmerized through his class, she couldn’t believe that this high and mighty man actually had a slight connection to her.
When the bell rang for the end of class, her classmates quickly piled out of the room. Ziyan also stood up to leave. But, she was suddenly called back by Gu Qingli.
“Ziyan, stay back. Were you listening properly during that class?”
When the other students heard this, they realized she was in trouble, so they immediately left.
Meanwhile, Ziyan looked cluelessly at Gu Qingli.
Gu Qingli stepped off the stage and said to her, “I have a private lesson for you, would you like to listen?”
“Don’t you have any other classes?” Ziyan asked happily.
“No. I’ve already looked at your schedule and I know you don’t have any either.” After saying this, Gu Qingli removed his jacket and placed it on his desk, he then pulled out his laser pointer, pointed at the blackboard and began to explain the topic that was on there in detail.
Was this a class that he was especially holding for her?
Or did he actually notice that she wasn’t listening, so he deliberately held her back?
Ziyan felt sweet inside and realized that Gu Qingli treated her differently. So, underneath the bright sunlight, her cheeks were rosy. Her mind couldn’t help but wander a little.
The two ended up staying in the classroom for an entire class.
Only after Ziyan nodded and confirmed that she understood the topic, did Gu Qingli let her go.
“I still have one class. Help me order food from the cafeteria at lunchtime,” Gu Qingli instructed as Ziyan left.
Ziyan nodded and did an OK gesture with her hand, “Same spot. I’ll wait for you.”
Ziyan kept reminding herself to have some restraint and not act so obsessed around Gu Qingli, but there were plenty of people that were obsessed with Gu Qingli, yet she was fortunate enough to have some connection with him.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Ziyan happily ordered a set meal for Gu Qingli. She then sat in the spot that she usually sat in; a spot where she could see Gu Qingli clearly, but wasn’t too close.
Soon, Gu Qingli finished class and arrived at the cafeteria. When he saw the food sitting on his usual table, he smiled to himself.
As he thought, Ziyan understood him well…
Not too far away, Ziyan watched as the students around Gu Qingli started swooning over him. This man attracted too much admiration. It made Ziyan slightly jealous.
The two understood each other as they sat on their separate tables in the cafeteria. But, no one noticed the sparks being transmitted bet**en the two.
After Gu Qingli finished eating, he immediately left the cafeteria. At this time, the boss lady approached Ziyan and said to her, “I though you ordered two meals for yourself. I never expected one of them to be for Professor Gu.”
“Shhh…don’t let anyone know.”
“OK, I won’t. If you need anything else, just let me know,” the boss of the cafeteria said enthusiastically.
Ziyan gestured thank you and quickly got up to leave, following a few meters behind Lu Guangli.
A moment later, she received a message from Lu Guangli, “Have you finished your homework?”
Ziyan’s face turned red; he caught her following him.
“Be good, go home and get some rest. I’ll call you after your class this afternoon…”
After receiving this order, Ziyan stopped following Gu Qingli and returned back to her dormitory.
When her roommate saw her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Ziyan, you’ve been a little strange these last two days, you haven’t lost your mind because your pursuit of Professor Gu failed, right?”
