Chapter 106: He Comes, She Leaves

Class time flew by; as soon as class ended, Zhang Sen had originally wanted to cause trouble for Xie Wantang, but unexpectedly, Professor Wu called Xie Wantang away.

Zhang Sen had no choice but to turn to Cui Kai: "Cui Kai, you're nearsighted—can't you get your own glasses? You're an adult, not an elementary student; why do you need to ask Assistant Instructor Lu to solve such a trivial problem?"

"If you have a problem, go find Assistant Instructor Lu, don't come to me." Cui Kai stood up, went to the restroom, and paid no more attention to Zhang Sen.

Actually, he was also quite clueless; he only had a bit of astigmatism, his myopia wasn't too serious, but since Assistant Instructor Lu had arranged for him to sit in the front, where he could hear more clearly, he was naturally happier.

Sitting in the first row, his chances of being noticed by Professor Wu were greater—why not?

Cui Kai was tall and sturdy; compared to him, Zhang Sen was like an immature bean sprout, and he didn't dare provoke him.

At that moment, Su Yang glanced at Zhang Sen: "It was I who told Assistant Instructor Lu that you harassed a female classmate yesterday and even tried to hitch a ride home with her; I also suggested that Assistant Instructor Lu move you from this seat—if you're dissatisfied, come find me."

"You're surprisingly frank, aren't you, Su Yang—what gives you the right?" Zhang Sen was very dissatisfied.

"Just because I can't stand your harassing girls—what of it? If you're not convinced, let's go downstairs and practice." Su Yang's expression was cold.

Just now, he saw Zhang Sen glare at Xie Wantang, so Su Yang simply shifted the conflict onto him.

He knew that men like Zhang Sen only pick on soft targets.

Although Xie Wantang is not a soft target, to avoid causing her trouble, as her bodyguard Su Yang had to clean up the aftermath.

Dealing with these small fry is also his responsibility.

"Damn it, a pregnant woman, and you all rush to speak up for her—really, you've never seen a woman before?"

"Rest assured, I've seen women before—I'm not arguing with you."

Zhang Sen has a foul mouth.

Muttering curses, he returned to his seat—only a second later, a black bat fell from the sky, scaring Zhang Sen out of his wits.

"Ahhh, Mom, a bat!"

Zhang Sen's butt had just touched the stool when he saw the frightening black bat; his face turned deathly pale as he jumped up, turned, and fled the classroom.

Many people have only seen what bats look like in books; in real life, this kind of bat is rarely seen.

This bat before them was extremely ugly and also extremely frightening.

It isn't even afraid of people; if someone approaches, it remains fierce.

Seeing Zhang Sen scared out of his wits, Su Yang smirked and sauntered over, saying, "I was wondering where my little treasure went—sorry, it's my pet, named Fufu."

He lowered his head, picked up Fufu, placed it in his palm, and gently stroked it: "Be good, don't run off next time, or you might get caught and stewed."

Fufu: ……

"My Fufu is very well-behaved and doesn't bite people; look at you, a grown man scared into that state—are you even a man? Besides, few men have a tongue as long as yours; you must have been reborn wrong—why not try again?"

"Su Yang, you——"

Zhang Sen was so angry his face turned pale, yet there was nothing he could do about Su Yang, who completely disregarded him.

The other onlooking classmates all knew that Su Yang was speaking up for Xie Wantang.

The somewhat more rational classmates, although they thought Su Yang's approach was a bit inappropriate, couldn't deny that Zhang Sen's foul mouth was to blame.

Misfortune comes from the mouth—how many bloody lessons life has taught us.

So, if you just keep your mouth in check, wouldn't everything be fine?

Zhang Sen could only accept defeat.

This sudden little incident also served as a wake-up call for Li Qiu Yun and Hu Mei Jia.

The two exchanged a glance, hearts pounding with anxiety.

Still shaken, in the end neither said much more.

Meanwhile, in Professor Wu's office, Xie Wantang, who was discussing an issue with Professor Wu, had no idea about the little incident that had unfolded in the classroom.

After she finished asking the questions she had in mind, Professor Wu became curious: "Xie Wantang, I think you know quite a bit about voiceprints—you're quite professional; someone at your level really doesn't need to come to my introductory class for training."

Professor Wu's evaluation was truly extremely high.

Xie Wantang remained humble: "Thank you, Professor Wu, for your praise; compared to you, my little bit of knowledge is really not worth mentioning—I'll still need your guidance in the future."

"You little girl, you're really too humble—no wonder Lu Chen likes you so much." Professor Wu, pleased, let the slip out.

"……"

Xie Wantang knew that Professor Wu and Lu Chen were grandfather and grandson, so when that word of liking came from Professor Wu's mouth, she realized it might not be baseless.

She just couldn't figure it out—she and Lu Chen had hardly met a few times.

Where does his fondness for her come from?

Moreover, she is not only divorced but also pregnant—no matter how you look at it, she has no advantage.

Forget men with special fetishes; just consider a normal man—one who can accept a divorced woman who already has a child is already an excellent man.

A woman carrying a child—normal men probably wouldn't want her.

Unless that woman originally got pregnant for him and then had an abortion.

But she won't do that.

It's not because the child is Lu Yanshen's that she wouldn't abort; it's because the child is hers, nurtured in her womb for ten months, and the child and she are one entity.

It has nothing to do with the man.

Not long after, Lu Chen came over.

As soon as Lu Chen entered, Xie Wantang found an excuse to leave.

Lu Chen:???

"You don't even want to see me?"

"What were you two talking about?" Lu Chen asked his grandfather.

"We were talking about voiceprints, Lu Chen—Xie Wantang is really a promising seedling; she'll definitely shine in this field. If you want to pursue her, you'd better hurry; otherwise, once you miss this village, there'll be no such shop."

"……"

That old geezer is really weird.

What do you mean, once you pass this village there's no such shop?

Is now a good time to chase after one's wife?

Everything's piled up together; how is he supposed to pursue?

Should he be honest or not about what he's done?

If he pursues her with a completely new identity, these things won't stay hidden; once Xie Wantang discovers them, given her temper, they'll definitely have to part.

He doesn't want that; if he wants to pursue her, he wants to settle it once and for all.

To settle things once and for all, he must resolve all these matters.

But these matters can't be resolved in a day or two.

Those rats and bedbugs hiding in the darkness are truly too many.

So far, only a few have barely shown their heads.

However, they're just small fry; he and Shen Ye want to catch the big ones.

Otherwise, it's meaningless.

Xie Wantang returned to the classroom and sensed the atmosphere was off, but she wasn't curious.

She didn't press further.

After class, Xie Wantang packed her things and left immediately.

Su Yang and she rode the elevator together; the two of them took the elevator while others dared not enter, because Su Yang had a black bat named Blessing, which they found scary.

It's not just dirty.

Xie Wantang didn't care whether they entered the elevator; after the doors closed, Su Yang took out Blessing to show her; upon seeing Blessing, she wasn't afraid at all and actually liked it quite a bit.

"Can I hug it?" Xie Wantang asked eagerly.

"Of course, as long as you're not afraid of it." Su Yang said.

"What's there to fear about such a cute little creature?" Xie Wantang said.

The next second, she picked up Blessing, gently placed it in her palm, and lightly poked it with her finger.
