Chapter 1211: Chapter 1209: Stop Flirting with the Host!

Early in the morning, Sally, who was accustomed to a morning run by her biological clock, got up and went to the playground.

Upon arrival, she saw teachers and students from various grades already running.

Jian was lazily sitting on a bench, dozing off. He didn’t want to come, but unless there were special circumstances, teachers had to be present. Even if they didn’t run, they still needed to show up.

After another yawn, he suddenly sensed something and looked toward the edge of the playground.

Sally, in a loose tank top and long pants, was approaching, seemingly looking for her class.

Jian immediately raised his hand, “Over here, Su.”

Sally had noticed him long ago, but considering that he appeared below the girls’ dormitory last night and forced her to attend his class, she was quite displeased and didn’t want to acknowledge him, hence she hadn’t gone over.

Now that he had greeted her, and since many teachers and students had noticed them, she could only go over with reluctance, bow and salute, “Good morning, teacher. Are you here to run too?”

“Yes, good morning.” Jian looked her over, “You look spirited, not like someone who sneaked out in the middle of the night.”

Sally’s nerves instantly tightened, “What are you talking about, teacher? I was studying in my dorm all night and didn’t go out.”

“Is that so?” Jian replied with an amused smile.

Sally started to sweat from her back gradually, firmly replying, “Yes.”

“Oh, I might have been mistaken. Are you also here to run, Su?”

“Yes.”

“Do you mind running with the teacher?” Jian continued to smile, his grin becoming even more charming.

Sally wanted to refuse, but instinct told her to comply, “It’s my honor.”

Jian led Sally into the running team.

Sally could vividly feel the gazes on her; some were curious, some disdainful, and some contemptuous… many were somewhat prickly.

Consequently, she deliberately slowed down to distance herself from Jian.

Unexpectedly, he also slowed down to run with her!

Gritting her teeth, Sally lowered her voice, “Why don’t you go to the teachers’ group?”

“Isn’t it normal for a teacher to run with students?” Jian shrugged it off.

Sally was speechless, “…”

Eventually, she couldn’t be bothered with him, running on her own, pretending there was no living person beside her, treating all those gazes as mere air.

After an agonizing eternity of morning exercises, Sally immediately returned to her dormitory.

Watching Sally dash off, Jian found it increasingly amusing. However, during the run, he received a warning from Xiaomei—[Stop flirting with the Host! If the Tribulation fails, there will be trouble.]

It seems this teacher role can’t last long.

Back in the dormitory, Sally found someone was already there, a round-faced girl with glasses.

The girl looked at Sally, a hint of amazement in her eyes, blushing slightly, and nervously said, “Hello, I’m Cai Xiwen. I was resting at home and just resumed classes.”

“I’m Sally. By the way, I have a stray kitten. Are you allergic to it?”

“No, no, not at all, I also like furry little animals.”

“That’s great then.” Sally replied with a smile, then pulled out a box from under her bed where a little black and white kitten was sleeping.

“Wow~ It’s so small!” Cai Xiwen displayed her fondness.

“Could you help take care of it when I’m not around?”

“Of course.” Cai Xiwen readily agreed, “What’s its name?”

“It’s a black and white kitten, so I named it Niu Niu, hoping it grows strong and powerful like an ox.”

“Yes, Niu Niu is adorable.” Cai Xiwen tried petting its head and seeing it not only unafraid but also pleasing her, she immediately liked it more.

Sally and Cai Xiwen went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together and bought some sausages for Niu Niu.

The little one wasn’t picky and ate delightedly.

Gu Cheng came to find Sally, carrying a bag.

“For you.” He handed the bag to her.

“What is it?” Sally took the bag, opened it, and inside were cat food, canned cat food, etc.

“Aren’t you allergic to cats? Why would you buy these?”

“Found it on the way.”

“… Which road, maybe I can find some too.”

“Hmph~ I’m leaving.” Gu Cheng turned and walked away.

Sally watched his back, chuckled with a soft ‘pfft~’, “I’ll send you a photo of Niu Niu.”

It must be said, the allure of beauty is indeed powerful.

According to her agreement with Jian, when Sally entered the classroom, it was already packed with students, even the aisles were crowded.

Thinking it over, she decided to stand outside the door. When Jian came to teach, she’d greet him from outside, which would count as attending class.

Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng also attended this class and was sitting in the front row, with empty spaces beside him, looking very spacious.

Noticing Sally, Gu Cheng contemplated before getting up and walking to the door, “What do you need?”

“I’m not looking for you.” Sally replied.

“…” Just got ahead of himself!

“Oh, I’m attending the class. Just a bit late, no seats left.” Sally said.

Gu Cheng grabbed her hand, “Come with me.”

Looking at his hand, Sally blinked but didn’t resist.

However, under all those watchful eyes, there was a buzz of whispered gossip among the onlookers.

Sally ignored them, eventually sitting next to Gu Cheng’s seat.

“At home, I never saw you paint.” Gu Cheng noticed Sally didn’t bring any supplies and shared his with her.

Sally thanked him, “I just wanted to paint Niu Niu, suddenly got the urge.”

“Not because Teacher Jian is handsome?” Gu Cheng had a look as if he’d seen through her, no way to fool him!

Sally picked up a charcoal pencil, fiddling with it between her fingers, “In my eyes, he doesn’t look as good as you.”

“Oh?” Jian had just arrived and overheard Sally’s comment.

Instinctively, Sally shrunk her neck, and couldn’t say why, stood up with an awkward smile, “No, the teacher is still the most handsome.”

“That’s good! Hehe, the teacher was just joking with you.” Jian stood at the podium, addressing all students, “Alright, get ready for class.”

…

Although Jian seemed unreliable as a teacher, his lectures were excellent. Sally absorbed a lot and even felt a bit insatiable by the end of class.

Of course, the inherent allure of the fascinatingly attractive teacher played a big part in this.

“My mom is coming home for dinner tonight, she wants to talk to you.” Gu Cheng said to Sally.

Sally nodded, “It’s rare for the Princess to come back, and since she gave me so many nice things, I must thank her in person.”

Gu Cheng looked at her, “We’re engaged.”

“Oh.” Sally looked at him, belatedly realizing he was different today.

First, he bought cat food, then gave her a seat in class, which was something he would never have done before. He’d always been opposed to their engagement, so why the sudden change.

Gu Cheng continued, “In the future, no matter what happens, you have me.”
