Chapter 431 - The First Song of Qin (4) (1/2)
Shi Sheng hesitated, but still accepted the call.
“Student Qiao Chu?”
The person on the other end spoke in a magnetic, masculine voice.
Shi Sheng quickly searched through her brain, but it seemed like this voice wasn’t in Qiao Chu’s memories.
“You are?”
“Qin Ge.” The person on the other end paused before clarifying, “The professor for your elective.”
‘Elective? Professor? A beast[1]? Why’s he calling me(bbb)? Did he take a liking to my(bbb) looks?’
Shi Sheng took the phone away from her ear to check the screen. After quite a while, she put it next to her ear again. “And?”
“You didn’t come to class today. As your professor from now on, I’m giving you a reminder: if you miss classes three times, you can forget about the course credits for your elective.”
Qin Ge didn’t seem easy to get along with—his tone wasn’t polite at all.
“Oh.” ‘Crazy!’
Shi Sheng quickly hung up.
She’d already gone through university countless times and didn’t want to do so again. Hence, Show-off Sheng expressed that she didn’t care about credits.
She’d only just hung up when another call came from Chen Xi.
Shi Sheng hadn’t said anything when Chen Xi started prattling, “Chu-Chu, why didn’t you pick up your phone? I’m telling you, the new professor is ridiculously handsome! But he’s not very good-tempered—he keeps finding fault. He called everyone who didn’t come to class, did you get a call from him? I heard that course credits would be completely deducted if three classes are skipped…”
“So just why did you have to pick this class for me?” Shi Sheng spoke.
“Well, you told me to just pick something… And you could use it for your painting course…?” Chen Xi’s voice grew weaker. He didn’t dare to admit that he’d completely forgotten about this back then.
“Did the professor call you?” Chen Xi hurriedly changed the topic.
“Yep.”
‘That perfectionist professor is simply seeking death! Actually calls people to harass them for not coming to his classes!’
She heard that this professor was someone who’d returned from overseas. He was just 24 years of age. One could see how much of a genius he was to be invited as a guest professor by the school.
Before the day was even out, a photo of this professor was posted on the school forums.
Shi Sheng went on to check him out.
The background was set in one of those lecture theatres. The man wore casual clothes and appeared to be in the midst of checking attendance. His features were sharp, defined, and handsome. His eyes were black, but bright. His thin lips were slightly parted. His expression was strict and cold.
Below the original post was a long line of replies going along the lines of “PLEASE MARRY ME!”
Hot people in school were always more popular. So when suddenly presented with a professor who stood out—and wasn’t all that old to boot—these girls went crazy.
Shi Sheng shut the page and tossed this matter to the back of her mind.
Qiao Chu chose a Chinese Painting course for some reason or other. Shi Sheng went to a class once and she refused to attend another on pain of death.
As someone who was shit with the brush, Chinese painting was really out of her reach.
As a result, her professor called her in to criticize her attendance.
But Shi Sheng’s indifferent attitude angered the professor greatly. In the end, the professor chose to ignore her—after all, the one who wouldn’t be able to graduate was Shi Sheng.
……
When the Mid-Autumn Festival came around, Shi Sheng went back home for a meal at Qiao-fu’s behest.
She’d only just reached the door when she bumped into the FL-sama who had gotten off a hired car.
The FL was carrying a box of mooncakes. Her gaze swept past Shi Sheng, but she didn’t have any intent of greeting the latter while walking past her to enter the house.
“Qian’qian, you’re back.” Qiao-mu opened the door, her face all smiles. “How’ve you been doing at school? You wanna move back?”
