The professor's lips twitched. He had heard about Gu Luosheng's exploits before. How had he forgotten that mouth of hers?
"That... works too. Thank you, Gu Luosheng. Please sit down." The professor wasn't that rigid. On the contrary, he rather liked this kind of lateral thinking. Learning shouldn't be too inflexible.

Gu Luosheng looked troubled. "This is just everyday stuff. Is there any way not to trend? Being famous is such a pain."
Xia Zhiyun stifled her laughter and deliberately put on a solemn expression. "Probably not. What can we do? Our Shengsheng is knowledgeable, cultured, beautiful, and well-informed. Everyone wants to follow someone so outstanding."
