Chapter 75: Showing One's Face for Once

In the spacious classroom, the Mediterranean-style professor stood before the podium, speaking eloquently toward the projection screen, while the students below were fully focused, with the sound of "rustling" writing heard from time to time.

On the first day of school, everyone was listening with extreme seriousness, save for Shen Yan and Hao Anqi in the very last row, who were unique; they lay on their desks, heads close together, whispering softly as if no one else were around.

Someone's hand was not behaving, placed directly beneath Hao Anqi's skirt, gently caressing her smooth, warm thigh; Hao Anqi's small face flushed slightly, she patted the back of Shen Yan's hand and said, "We're in class, can't you behave a little?"

Shen Yan said with an innocent face, "I was studying with the utmost seriousness just before; who was it that disturbed my peace of mind?"

"Then should I leave?"

Hao Anqi pursed her lips, those luscious red lips looking like jelly, giving one the impulse to take a bite.

Just at this moment, the Mediterranean-style professor's gruff tone grew a few degrees heavier.

"The female student in the white clothes in the last row, please stand up and answer this question."

The gaze of the entire room focused over.

Hao Anqi and Shen Yan, however, seemed not to have heard, only coming back to their senses after someone in the front row reminded them.

Hao Anqi stood up blankly, with an expression of being completely out of the loop.

Those who recognized Hao Anqi felt their pupils shrink; they did not understand why she would appear here, and looking at Shen Yan beside her, a thought spontaneously arose.

They had never heard Shen Yan mention Hao Anqi, and they had all assumed the two had long since cut ties; so it turned out...

Yu Youwei's complexion instantly turned as pale as paper, her delicate fists clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms as if to draw blood.

"It can't be like that, it's impossible!"

She comforted herself this way in her heart.

Wu Yue'er bit her red lip, her trembling hands exposing the turbulent waves within her heart.

Chen Shanni, meanwhile, had a dim look in her eyes; fortunately, she had not hoped for too much from the start, and just watching him quietly like this was actually quite good.

Her personality was just like that; she didn't know how to fight or snatch, and even less how to express herself—if I gain it, it is my fortune; if I lose it, it is my fate.

The other students were amazed by Hao Anqi's beauty; the boys admired her, while the girls were envious, jealous, and hateful.

Seeing that Hao Anqi did not react, the Mediterranean-style professor said again, "Please answer whether this verdict is correct."

Hao Anqi looked at the long string of text on the projection screen as if she were reading a heavenly book; her mind was a complete blank, and having just entered university, even with a personality as bold as hers, she still felt fear toward teachers from the bottom of her heart, so she hurriedly sought help from Shen Yan.

Shen Yan covered his mouth and prompted, "Just say you don't know; he won't do anything to you."

Hao Anqi suddenly realized, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Yang in the front row say, "Teacher, she isn't from our department; it's no use asking her."

The Mediterranean-style professor was also a shrewd person who had taught for many years; how could he not understand the tricks of these young people? Thus, he aimed his gaze at Shen Yan and said, "Then please, this student, stand up and answer."

Shen Yan rubbed his nose; he had already scanned the case just now, and the relevant knowledge surfaced in his mind one by one. He stood up and spoke fluently: "I believe the court's verdict is very correct. According to Article 119 of the Civil Code of the Republic of China, regarding the infringement of a citizen's body causing injury... In summary, the correctness and judgment of the first and second instance courts in this case are a concrete manifestation of the guardian's obligation to bear civil compensation liability."

Silence!

The whole room was silent! You could almost hear a pin drop!

The students listened in a daze, not understanding why but feeling it was impressive; they didn't know if Shen Yan was right or wrong, but that eloquent manner, citing laws and regulations off the cuff, certainly couldn't be fake.

Wasn't Shen Yan sleeping just now? And sitting in the last row, how did he learn it?

Compared to those dazed students, the Mediterranean-style professor had a look of admiration, the corners of his mouth gradually rising; no one knew better than him how precise, accurate, and incisive Shen Yan's analysis was.

He had originally thought Shen Yan was a student who had given up on himself, but he never expected him to be a great talent hidden among the masses.

It was his own short-sightedness.

"Clap, clap, clap!" The Mediterranean-style professor clapped his hands vigorously and praised, "Very good, this student's analysis is very correct. I'll give you full marks; what is your name, student?"

"Shen Yan!"

"Good, Student Shen Yan and that female student, please sit down first."

After the two sat down, the Mediterranean-style professor began to repeat his explanation of the case, while the crowd of students stood stunned like wooden chickens.

Damn! I thought we were all at the same starting line, but it turns out someone was burying their head in hard study in private—what a damn 'old six'! No! I absolutely cannot fall behind.

The sense of urgency among the students instantly exploded, and they all made up their minds to work twice as hard from this moment on, so that those 'old sixes' who study in secret wouldn't have a chance to take advantage.

Shen Yan naturally didn't know that because of his own small action, he had caused such great stimulation to his classmates. After sitting down, Shen Yan met Hao Anqi's fox-like eyes, which were as bright as stars.

Hao Anqi cupped her hands in front of her chest and said worshipfully, "Shuai Yan, you were simply handsome to the heavens just now; you've charmed me so much I can't even handle it."

Shen Yan smiled, saying he also wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength wouldn't allow it; Hao Anqi nodded repeatedly, not feeling it was an exaggeration at all.

Her little boyfriend's merits were truly endless.

Hehe! I've found a treasure!

It wasn't just Hao Anqi; the few girls in 602 were likewise conquered by Shen Yan's brilliant performance just now. Even Luo Qiqi, who had never been interested in boys, looked at Shen Yan with new eyes at this moment.

Why hadn't she noticed before that Shen Yan was quite excellent?

When the class ended, Lin Yang rushed over first, winking and saying, "Old Shen, aren't you going to introduce us?"

Hao Anqi pursed her lips and smiled, leaning against Shen Yan, waiting obediently for him to introduce her. Shen Yan put his arm around Hao Anqi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Hao Anqi, you've met her before; she is now my girlfriend."

Lin Yang teased, "Old Shen, you really know how to hide things; I never heard you mention it, and I thought you two had no future."

Hao Anqi poked Shen Yan's chest and complained coquettishly, "Am I that embarrassing? You didn't even mention me to your roommates."

Shen Yan said, "It's your fault for being excessively beautiful; I was afraid that if I hit them too hard, they wouldn't be able to handle it, and then my sin would be too great."

Hao Anqi rested her head directly on Shen Yan's shoulder and giggled foolishly.

"Damn!" Lin Yang felt as if he had just eaten a bite of an unripe lemon, the sour and astringent taste spreading throughout his whole body.

That sour, stinky smell of love—he was truly hit hard.

There is no harm without comparison; suddenly, Lin Yang felt that Wu Yue'er wasn't as fragrant anymore. This girl was so good, her appearance enchanting and beautiful, and she was as gentle as water—she was simply a treasure girl.

Shen Yan was truly too good at picking.

Zhu Baoping was likewise incredibly sour; at this moment, Shen Yan was simply a winner in life, having both money and a woman—envy, jealousy, and hatred indeed.

Tang Song added insult to injury from the side: "It's great now; there's one less single dog in the dorm."

Killing someone is just a matter of cutting off their head; for a moment, Lin Yang and Zhu Baoping had the impulse to drag Tang Song into a corner and beat him up.
