Chapter 19 - Don’t Overcorrect (1/2)

B University had a good combination of rich culture and beautiful scenery. Buildings were standing amid green foliage, and so those who’d experienced the atmosphere were generous in praise of her.

With books in hand, Lu Jia’er walked along a path shaded by trees toward the office building. The sun shone through interspaces of the densely layered leaves, forming a kaleidoscope of colors on the ground. A slight zephyr came stirring mottled green and yellow trees leaving the leaves dancing.

As she came to the entrance of the office building, she ran into the head of the department and the Director of the Academic Affairs Office.

“Good day to you!” Lu Jia’er saluted the two.

Department head Han Yi had always supported Lu Jia’er and gave her a slight smile but Guo Fei, director of the Academic Affairs Office, seemed to have something to say to her.

Lu Jia’er was expecting an admonitory talk from the superior because the student’s confession of love to her had been among the top search results since the other day when it happened. It was not until today that it fell from the top search results lists.

“Xiao Lu, come to my office in a while!” Guo Fei, Director of the Academic Affairs Office said.

“Okay, Director! I’ll put these books back in the office before I come!” Lu Jia’er answered.

Guo Fei nodded. Lu Jia’er took the books to the office on the second floor. Although she was walking away from the two, she could still hear them talking in a whisper.

“Old Guo, Xiao Lu is young after all and she tends to be shy. Please go easy on her.” Professor Han Yi said in favor of Lu Jia’er.

“Old Han, I know that Xiao Lu is one of your best students. But your overindulgence of her deeds should stop!” Director Guo said.

“As you have said. But Xiao Lu is not to blame. Don’t you know the personality of students nowadays?” Professor Han Yi smiled.

“I do. But I have to talk about it to her. Well, Old Han, I will handle it properly. Don’t be too concerned!” Director Guo said.

“Too concerned? Don’t use the wrong words!” Professor Han Yi corrected.

“Well, I’m sorry for making a mistake!” Guo Fei, the director ended the conversation.

Lu Jia’er , who had walked to the turn of the stairs, heard the conversation and felt grateful to Professor Han for his care, but she was somewhat disgusted with Director Guo Fei.

Because she had heard the inner voice of Director Guo Fei. A maxim occurred to her as a result. Some people read a lot of books and they are gentlemen while some people are rich in knowledge but they are as foul as feces.

The relationship between Professor Han Yi and her was a pure teacher-student one, but Professor Han Yi had attached much importance to her, leading to distorted thoughts in some filthy minded individuals.

After placing the books on the desk, Lu Jia’er went to the Academic Affairs Office.

But after three minutes, Lu Jia’er returned.

Li Lin, a colleague who was also a professor of Psychology, felt surprised. Director Guo Fei was not verbose, but if he called someone in, it would not finish for at least five minutes.

“Are you okay?” Li Lin asked caringly.

“Yes.” Lu Jia’er said coolly.

“Alas, the students these days have a massive ego. It is not all your fault!” Li Lin said in the same way as Professor Han Yi.
