"Seriously, the top scorer is standing right here, and nobody wants me?"
Zhou Fan was baffled.
How come the strongest person here was the one no teacher picked?
Or could it be...
All those teachers thought they weren't qualified to teach him?
Surely not!
You're all teachers at Xinghai University.
Could you have a little confidence?
I'm not that scary, am I?
"Zhou, what's going on?" Zhao Qiu asked suspiciously.
"No idea."
"Then why don't you join me? Teach, take Zhou too," Zhao Qiu said to his teacher.
His teacher was a young woman of twenty-four or twenty-five. She had probably been roped into doing grunt work not long after graduating.
The female teacher glanced at Zhou Fan and immediately shook her head. "No, I wouldn't dare take him."
That young lady had already called dibs on these two.
How would any of them dare take them?
"Looks like all the teachers have chosen their students." Xi Yan nodded, finally turning to Zhou Fan and Lin Qianqian.
"Zhou Fan, Lin Qianqian, come with me."
Realization dawned on Zhou Fan.
So the principal had taken a liking to the two of them.
Could... the principal be Queen Xia?
To be honest, Zhou Fan had never known Queen Xia's gender. He had simply assumed she was a woman based on her name.
But nobody had said Queen Xia had to be female.
Maybe Xi Yan had an unusual fondness for beauty and had named himself Queen Xia?
Granted, that was a little unlikely.
But it wasn't impossible.
The opening ceremony ended.
Zhou Fan and Lin Qianqian left with Xi Yan.
On the way.
Zhou Fan looked at Xi Yan, hesitating again and again.
Finally, he gathered his courage, leaned closer, and asked quietly,
"Principal, are you Queen Xia?"
Xi Yan: "???"
