Evening Self-Study was about to begin, and most of the students had returned to their classrooms.
The dejection on Chu Bai's face had vanished, replaced by high spirits.
Their homeroom teacher, Song Zhenyu, suddenly entered the classroom and called Chu Bai to the office.
For Chu Bai's safety, the Principal had not revealed his name.
But as Chu Bai's homeroom teacher, Song Zhenyu must have learned the details.
Now that she had suddenly called Chu Bai to the office, she would most likely praise him.
Wang Haoran immediately could not sit still.
Song Zhenyu was one of the female leads. According to the laws of web novels, when the protagonist and a female lead met alone, something was bound to happen.
Wang Haoran picked up an English test paper and left the classroom.
Inside the office.
Song Zhenyu had only just sat down and said a few words of praise to Chu Bai when she saw someone approach.
Wang Haoran swept his gaze across the office and immediately sensed an overwhelming aura of cliché.
This was a shared office for ten teachers, yet at this moment, Song Zhenyu was the only teacher there.
If Wang Haoran had not come over, would Song Zhenyu and Chu Bai not have been alone together in the office? The Protagonist Halo was fucking incredible.
It could invisibly create an environment favorable to the protagonist picking up girls.
Song Zhenyu had already finished praising him. When she saw the good student Wang Haoran coming over to ask about questions on an English test paper, she naturally answered everything he asked.
Chu Bai watched from the side.
If looks could kill, Wang Haoran would probably have been killed hundreds or thousands of times already.
Compared to the slightly immature Xu Muyan, the gorgeous and captivating Song Zhenyu possessed an entirely different kind of charm.
Chu Bai had fantasized about this beautiful teacher plenty of times.
He had finally gotten a chance to be alone with the beautiful teacher, yet Wang Haoran had actually come over to ask questions.
How could Chu Bai not be angry?
Wang Haoran deliberately dragged things out until the bell for Evening Self-Study rang.
He was still asking questions.
Evening Self-Study was for studying, and asking English questions was also studying.
If Chu Bai continued standing here, that would be very inappropriate.
He left the office and headed for the classroom.
But only a few minutes later, Chu Bai came back carrying an English test paper as well.
Clearly, he had not given up and was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to be alone with Song Zhenyu.
During Evening Self-Study, students could study freely or go to the office to ask teachers questions.
However, the ones who came to ask questions were usually Top Students.
Those with poor or average grades did not have the nerve to come over.
Chu Bai had cheated last time and only achieved a lower-middle score, yet he had actually come here now. His skin was clearly quite thick.
No matter how many questions there were on an English test paper, there was a limit.
After quite a while, Wang Haoran could not keep asking anymore and had no choice but to stop.
Chu Bai seized the opening and prepared to ask Song Zhenyu questions.
"Student Chu Bai, Teacher Song is tired. We have the same test paper, and I know every question on it. If there's anything you don't understand, I can teach you," Wang Haoran said eagerly.
Naturally, Chu Bai was unwilling. He was just about to say, "No need to trouble you."
But before he could say it, Song Zhenyu beat him to it. "Wang Haoran is right. He knows all these questions. Chu Bai, since Wang Haoran has said so, let him teach you."
Song Zhenyu had talked with Wang Haoran for more than twenty minutes, and her mouth was dry. She truly wanted to rest for a while.
Since Wang Haoran had voluntarily offered to take over, she was naturally happy to let him.
Chu Bai was a thousand times unwilling, but in front of Song Zhenyu, he could not openly pull a face. Gritting his teeth, he said to Wang Haoran:
"Thank you so much!!!"
"No need to thank me!" Wang Haoran replied teasingly.
From an angle Song Zhenyu could not see, their gazes collided, and faint sparks seemed to flash between them.
The two left the office.
Chu Bai was furious and strode quickly toward the classroom.
Clearly, he had no intention of asking Wang Haoran any questions.
Of course, Wang Haoran had no interest in answering him either.
Ding, the host successfully ruined protagonist Chu Bai's opportunity to be alone with one of the Female Leads, Song Zhenyu. Villain Points gained: 200.
Hearing the system prompt, Wang Haoran grinned.
He strolled leisurely toward the classroom.
But as he passed a corner, he nearly bumped into the physical education teacher.
The physical education teacher was named Xin Liangcai. He was around thirty and was a muscular man.
He carried a large opaque bag in his hand, and it nearly fell to the ground from the collision.
Xin Liangcai was nervous about the large bag, so he was furious and was about to scold whichever student had not watched where he was going.
But when he saw that it was Wang Haoran, he immediately swallowed his words.
He could not afford to provoke this student.
The physical education teacher forced a smile at Wang Haoran, then brushed past him.
A trace of fragrance lingered in the air.
Wang Haoran sniffed it and immediately recognized it as the scent of Roses.
It was not difficult to deduce.
The opaque bag Xin Liangcai carried contained Roses.
Wang Haoran looked back and saw Xin Liangcai enter the office just as he turned around, even closing the office door behind him.
Song Zhenyu was the only one in the office.
Xin Liangcai was probably pursuing Song Zhenyu.
Given Song Zhenyu's beauty, she definitely would not be interested in a muscular man like Xin Liangcai.
That meant conflict was coming.
Thinking of this, Wang Haoran once again sensed that overpowering aura of cliché.
If he had not ruined Chu Bai and Song Zhenyu's opportunity to be alone, Chu Bai would definitely have been present when Xin Liangcai pursued Song Zhenyu.
Then Chu Bai would help drive away this annoying suitor and win Song Zhenyu's favor.
Wang Haoran could even imagine the plot that followed.
Although Xin Liangcai would leave for the moment, he would threaten Chu Bai before going.
After all, Chu Bai was only an ordinary student. Xin Liangcai was a teacher, so why would he need to fear him?
Teacher Song Zhenyu, who had a strong sense of responsibility, would suggest that the two leave together after Evening Self-Study.
And right then, a group of thugs Xin Liangcai had gathered would appear.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Xin Liangcai would decide to go all the way. Not only would he teach Chu Bai a lesson, but he would also harbor improper intentions toward Song Zhenyu.
But unfortunately, he would be no match for Chu Bai.
Chu Bai would save Song Zhenyu once again.
A Hero Saves Beauty.
Wouldn't their relationship heat up rapidly after that? Put plainly, Xin Liangcai was just a Tool Man providing an "assist" for the male and female leads.
Wang Haoran did not return to the classroom. He immediately turned back toward the office.
The moment he opened the office door, he saw Xin Liangcai on one knee with a deeply affectionate expression, holding Roses as he confessed his love to Song Zhenyu.
Song Zhenyu frowned tightly. Her eyes held disgust, and both hands were pushed toward the bouquet of Roses in a clear gesture of rejection toward Xin Liangcai.
Wang Haoran had already guessed as much, so he was not the least bit surprised by the scene.
