Chapter 219 - I Know More Than You About Life (2/2)

Chen Fan heard many disappointing long sighs. Xue Jiao s.h.i.+vered a little, as her heart sank to the bottom.

“Professor Chen! How could you confess that in public? Not even the director can save you now.”

Han Dongyu shook his head and was ready to leave the cla.s.sroom.

“You have never studied biology you say?” Instructor Du’s smile disappeared as his eyes started to glint sharply. “Someone who knew nothing of biology dares to walk into the Jin City University and pretend to be a visiting professor? How preposterous! This is a humiliation to us all! You are a humiliation to the Jin City University! ”

Instructor Du said vehemently and many Jin City University students agreed with him.

They were proud of their university’s high standards and therefore, could not tolerate the appearance of academic fraud.

“I will lodge a complaint to the director! If nothing happens I will complain to the board! How could the Jin City University let a snake oil peddler into its campus!”

“Just so! He is not even twenty, yet already a visiting professor! There must be something kind of shady dealing behind the scenes.”

“Maybe Professor Chen is innocent… maybe…”

Facing the increasingly angrier mob, the girls felt increasingly reluctant to speak out for Chen Fan.

“Sigh! Professor Chen looked so handsome but he turned out to be a fraud.” Zhong Yaoyao leaned on Fang Qiong’s body and said. “He was going to become my life-time idol, the love of my life, but it seemed that we could at most be friends with benefits. I don’t want to marry a fraud.”

“I thought you only cared about his face.”

“Nonsense! I am not that shallow. I care about what’s inside as much as outside.” Zhong Yaoyao protested.

By now, Xue Jiao’s face had turned as pale as a piece of paper. She struggled to convince herself that Chen Fan was innocent since everything suggested that Chen Fan was indeed a fraud.

“Mr. Chen Beixuan, what else do you want to say?” Sensing the promise of victory, Instructor Du put on a smile and asked Chen Beixuan.

Chen Fan looked around and let those jeering remarks and glares set in. Then he saw Xue Jiao, Han Dongyu, Zhong Yaoyao, all those people he knew and hung out with during his last life. In the end, he saw Fang Qiong.

She sat quietly and elegantly, looking as charming as a G.o.ddess.

Beauty was in the eyes of the beholders. Although Chen Fan knew that objectively, Fang Qiong was just of above average looks as of now, he couldn’t help thinking that she was the most attractive woman in the world. The sight of Fang Qiong brought a smile to his face unknowing to him.

“Why are you smiling?” Instructor Du furrowed his heavy brows.

How was he able to bring himself to smile at such an embarra.s.sing situation? Does he know what’s going to happen next?

“I am not smiling, I am laughing at you. You know nothing about Life.” Chen Fan walked down the podium and said: “Although I have never studied biology, and never have I written a word on the subject, I know much more than you about life.”

“You know more than me?” Instructor Du was taken aback by the remark.

“At the end of the day, biology is the science of life. It was dictated by the laws that governed the changes in life. In other words, biology does not define life, it was the other way around.” Chen Fan then pointed to a pot of wilted narcissus flower by the window and asked. “When is the blooming season of narcissus?”

“Springtime from January to march.”

As an expert biologist, Instructor Du answered readily without any hesitation. It was September right now, and the plant clearly had seen better days.

Chen Fan didn’t say a word, instead, he fished out a little bottle from his pocket and poured some solution onto the narcissus flower.

Everyone looked to Chen Fan incredulously as they wondered what Chen Fan was going to do. Is he going to bring the dying plant back to life with a few drops of water? How was that possible?

Xue Jiao around her eyes expectantly.

One second, two, three…

Ten, twenty, thirty…

Nothing had changed. The plant hasn’t been watered for a month and a few drops of water was not likely to save it. Its leaves were still shriveled and the flower bud remained a tiny closed dot.

Many older professors shook their heads and were about to leave.

Xue Jiao also turned her head around as disappointment filled her heart.

Han Dongyu had already made his way to the exit. As he wondered if he should ask Xue Jiao out tonight, he heard a cheer erupt behind him.

He looked back and was stunned.

A colorful narcissus flower bloomed like it was in the middle of January.

Under Instructor Du’s incredulous stare, Chen Fan put down the bottle and said slowly: “I told you so, I know more about life than you ever could.”
