39 Instructor Yu Xuan’s Official Announcement
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, as dawn broke, Yan Zhen woke up.
Huangfu Wenqing had woken up even earlier. Lying on her side, her head resting on Yan Zhen’s outstretched arm, she gazed at him quietly, her hands moving stealthily under the covers.
Yan Zhen felt a headache coming on.
Last night, Huangfu Wenqing had taken advantage of his… vulnerability, coercing him into agreeing to her demands. He hadn’t expected her to do it again in the morning.
Was this good?
This was not good!
“Good morning, Yan Zhen.” Huangfu Wenqing blinked her beautiful eyes, her face flushed, clearly not as calm as she appeared. “Does this… feel good?”
Yan Zhen silently turned his head away.
Huangfu Wenqing bit her lip and said resentfully, “I’ll practice diligently later. You have to practice with me, okay~?”
“We’ll talk about it later. Can you let go of me now?”
“But it’s still… energetic.”
“If you ignore it, it will calm down.”
Huangfu Wenqing thought for a moment and said, “I want a good morning kiss.”
Yan Zhen reluctantly gave his fiancée a light peck.
After the kiss, Huangfu Wenqing was overjoyed and pushed her luck. “I’ll give you a good morning kiss too. That’s only fair~”
She puckered her lips and kissed Yan Zhen lightly.
As they got up to wash, Instructor Yu Xuan knocked on each door, inviting everyone to her room for breakfast.
“I’m not going.” Huangfu Wenqing felt like she couldn’t fit in with that group. “Don’t stay too long. Come back early, or I’ll assume you’re doing… things with Instructor Yu Xuan.”
“Ahem.”
Yan Zhen blushed and left the room, heading to Instructor Yu Xuan’s room, number one.
Yan Meng’er, Yan Ruyu, Mi Xue’er, and Xiao Xinyan were already there, but the atmosphere was different, unusually quiet.
It seemed they were still upset.
Yan Zhen looked at Instructor Yu Xuan, who gave him a reassuring look, then said softly, “I called you all here today because I have something important to tell you.”
The four girls looked up, their eight eyes fixed on Instructor Yu Xuan. She walked past them, stood beside Yan Zhen, took his arm, and smiled. “As you might have already guessed, Yan Zhen and I have been together for a while now. Sorry for keeping it from you for so long.”
The four girls were stunned, and Yan Zhen was also a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Instructor Yu Xuan to make such a direct announcement.
Her straightforwardness made it difficult for the four girls to be angry.
“But Instructor, why Cousin…? There’s almost a ten-year age gap between you.”
“I like him, that’s why. Just like how you all like him.” Instructor Yu Xuan appeared calm and composed, after all, she wasn’t a young girl anymore. “Indeed, Yan Zhen has many good qualities, but those are just bonuses, not the fundamental reason… I like him because he’s Yan Zhen. That’s all.”
Yan Meng’er puffed out her cheeks, dissatisfied. “That’s such a cop-out answer!”
Instructor Yu Xuan chuckled. “How is it a cop-out? It’s romantic. Love is an emotional and ambiguous thing, difficult to explain clearly. What’s important is that our hearts are connected, like Yan Zhen and I. You should also strive for that.”
Mi Xue’er immediately protested, “I-I’m also connected with Little Brother Yan Zhen! It’s not like only Instructor Yu Xuan truly likes him!”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room gave her a strange look, as if saying, “You, who took advantage of him, are saying this?”
Mi Xue’er wilted, lowering her head and pouting, muttering something about “having no other choice,” “he was willing,” and “a girl pursuing her beloved isn’t taking advantage.” The room was filled with an awkward silence.
Yan Ruyu looked at her beloved cousin, then at her respected instructor, and sighed inwardly. “Then when did you and Yan Zhen… get together, Instructor?”
Instructor Yu Xuan blushed at this question. She cleared her throat and said, “If I have to say, it was right before the first monthly exam…”
—Daytime, in the office, with the Vice Dean and Enforcement Instructor Zhang Wei apologizing outside the door.
“The first monthly exam?”
The four girls’ eyes widened in surprise.
“Really? That’s so early!”
“At that time, you hadn’t even known each other for a month.”
Mi Xue’er and Xiao Xinyan questioned her one after another.
Instructor Yu Xuan’s expression was unnatural, after all, she had used… unconventional methods. She could only lie. “I took a liking to him at first sight, that’s why I accepted him as my student.”
“What?” Yan Meng’er exclaimed. “Instructor, how could you do that? Having such ulterior motives from the very beginning!”
The Instructor Yu Xuan from her previous life wasn’t like this!
“Sorry, but even instructors have their own selfish desires. Just like how you make late-night snacks for Yan Zhen every day, aren’t you also trying to capture his heart through his stomach?”
“Mm…”
Yan Meng’er was speechless again.
She couldn’t win the argument, and she couldn’t bring herself to be truly angry. This was so frustrating!
Instructor Yu Xuan winked at Yan Zhen.
Having lived together for so many years, across two lifetimes, she knew these girls like the back of her hand. Handling them was easy~
“I-I also want to ask,” Xiao Xinyan raised her hand like a student in class and asked timidly, “How far have you and Junior Brother Yan Zhen… progressed, Instructor?”
“Eh?”
“Have you… done it?”
After asking, Xiao Xinyan blushed first, but her eyes stubbornly stared at Instructor Yu Xuan and Yan Zhen.
The other three girls also looked up, their eyes filled with nervousness and curiosity.
Instructor Yu Xuan and Yan Zhen… crossing the forbidden line between teacher and student—
Thinking of this, they felt both jealous and strangely excited.
Yan Zhen felt like he was about to die of embarrassment, wanting to disappear.
—I shouldn’t have come here!
“N-not yet!” Instructor Yu Xuan quickly waved her hand. “Don’t overthink it.”
“Really?” Yan Meng’er didn’t believe her. “I clearly heard Instructor say she would help Cousin… last night.”
Mi Xue’er chimed in, “That’s right, and Little Brother Yan Zhen even pushed you onto the bed, kissing and touching you, and you didn’t resist at all…”
Instructor Yu Xuan froze. “How… how did you know? Wait, were you in the room at that time?”
“Yes, we were hiding in the wardrobe!” Yan Meng’er admitted frankly. “We saw and heard everything you said and did to Cousin!”
“!!!”
Instructor Yu Xuan’s beautiful face turned as red as an apple, her composure replaced by embarrassment.
“Th-that was… not what you think.”
“Then what was it?”
“W-we really haven’t… gone all the way.”
“So, you’ve done everything except… that?”
“Mm-hmm, pretty much.”
The four girls’ eyes widened in shock.
Yan Meng’er swore she was just trying to provoke them, but it was actually true?
Yan Zhen facepalmed, wanting to skip to the ending and ascend to the heavens!
