CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: JEALOUSY

After school the next day, Ye Anxin held her books in both hands and left the classroom with a group of classmates.

Su Yichen was also among the crowd, discussing plans for a weekend picnic with them as they walked toward the stairs.

Everyone was excited to hear about the picnic, and since Su Yichen never put on airs like a professor and treated students like friends, everyone enjoyed chatting with him.

Li Lin was just coming up the stairs and walked towards them.

"Professor Su!" Seeing Su Yichen, Li Lin’s eyes sparkled as she hurriedly greeted him.

"Teacher Li!" Su Yichen’s gaze stayed firmly on Ye Anxin, only giving Li Lin a polite response without even glancing at her.

Li Lin’s smile froze. Even though she felt embarrassed, she forced a smile and deliberately tried to start a conversation with Su Yichen, "What are you chatting about so happily, Professor Su?"

This time, Su Yichen completely ignored her, walking right past her.

As he walked by, his back was to her, facing Ye Anxin, and she could clearly hear him talking to Ye Anxin.

"Ye, make sure to bring a couple of extra clothes for the picnic. We’ll be there for two days, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is big, so don’t catch a cold!"

Ye Anxin squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your concern, Professor Su, I’ll be careful!"

Su Yichen added, "Did you understand everything from the class just now? If there’s anything you don’t get, feel free to ask me anytime!"

"There’s a little something I don’t get!"

"What don’t you understand?"

"I made a mark on the tree, ..." Li Lin stood in place, watching their figures move further away, her heart and organs starting to ache with anger.

That damn Ye Anxin, completely ignoring her warning. She clearly promised to stay away from Su Yichen, but now she’s flirting with him right in front of her!

Thinking about their affectionate scene and warm conversation, Li Lin clenched her hands tightly.

Ye Anxin and her classmates chatted as they walked, parting ways only when they reached the school gate.

Just as Ye Anxin waved goodbye to Ling Yueyue, a small figure came running from a distance, hugging her leg excitedly and shouting, "Sister Anxin!"

Ye Anxin looked down, and upon seeing who it was, she lifted her lips into a smile, squatted down to look him in the eye, "Tiantian, why are you here? Why are you here alone? Where’s your dad?"

Huo Jiantian tilted his head proudly and said, "I missed you, so I came directly to find you! You have no idea, I’ve been waiting outside your school for over an hour! Finally got to see you!"

Ye Anxin glanced behind Huo Jiantian and asked with a frown, "Does your dad know you’re here to see me?"

Huo Jiantian smiled and said, "I made plans with Dad to go out for dinner tonight, Sister Anxin, you should join us!"

Ye Anxin hesitated and said, "Today, uh! I don’t think I can make it, I have something to do tonight."

Huo Jiantian’s eyes rolled mischievously, and he pretended to ask innocently, "Sister Anxin, do you have a boyfriend? Are you going to see your boyfriend tonight?"

"Uh...!" Hearing this, Ye Anxin almost choked on her own saliva, "Jiantian, you’re only five, who taught you these things?"

Huo Jiantian naturally retorted, "If it’s not to meet a boyfriend, then why won’t you come with me? I’ve been waiting here for over an hour, my legs are sore, just to have a meal with you!"

"Uh...! I, I have other things to do! Very important things!" Ye Anxin looked at him with some difficulty, unsure how to explain to someone so young!
