"Alright, that's all for this class. I hope you all achieve the grades you desire."
As class was nearing its end, Mo Yu closed his notebook and gently addressed the students below. Yes, he planned to leave early. Generally, for the last class, leaving early was perfectly fine.
On the other hand... given the scene of this large-scale fan meeting, if he didn't choose to leave early, it would be uncertain whether he could escape later.
"Ah—"
Some disappointed groans came from the students below. In fact, many students had already made up their minds to rush up for photos and autographs as soon as class ended.
Who could refuse such a beautiful Teacher Ruan Mei? And, who understood the value of an autograph that came with a hand-drawn illustration? Moreover, Mo Yu didn't just draw Ruan Mei's Q-version avatar; simple stick-figure expressions like cat cakes, trash cans, and others were also fine.
He had specifically practiced this skill when he planned to hand-draw some materials, but unfortunately, it was never put to use. Instead, he chose to make some kidney bean cakes.
Now, he was using it to buy time. After all, anyone with eyes knew the true intentions of the students lining up to ask questions. If they genuinely had questions, they could simply @ the teacher in the class group or send a private message.
Even if Professor Li was busy, he would usually make time to answer.
Of course, the Professor's ability to answer wasn't because he had free time; on the contrary, it was precisely because he was very busy and would use fragmented time to reply to messages.
In fact, these academic bigwigs were often more competitive than imagined. Therefore, in the Laboratory, Mo Yu was usually guided by his Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, because Professor Li was truly very busy.
To be honest, Mo Yu was also a little impressed by his own cleverness.
Adding hand-drawn illustrations to autographs not only improved the quality of the autograph but also consumed time. This way, even if the students queuing behind were anxious, they had no reason to complain, and he could use the opportunity to reduce unnecessary interactions.
"Will we meet again, Teacher Ruan Mei?"
A student in the front row suddenly stood up and asked. To be honest, Mo Yu actually had some impression of this guy, but only some impression.
There was nothing to say. This subject was a common course that many different schools would take. In fact, throughout his three years of university, Mo Yu only had a passing acquaintance with many of his classmates.
"Perhaps."
Mo Yu said indifferently, walking down from the podium and heading towards the classroom door.
And this guy also started to act dramatically.
"When we meet again, I hope you're happy, okay, Ruan Mei? You must be happy, you must be happy, okay? Happy, happy…"
He shouted passionately, and the surrounding students burst into laughter. If it were his first year, this would surely cost him three years of dating opportunities, but now that he was a third-year veteran, this guy had the composure of an old artist.
"My world no longer has you, it's okay, you must be happy on your own. Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei, how can I live without you… Ruan Mei, take me with you, Ruan Mei!"
Watching this clown-like guy, a hint of amusement involuntarily appeared in Mo Yu's heart.
"There's no need for this… Besides…"
Mo Yu's lips curved into a smile.
"Compared to you, I still prefer those cat cakes."
And this guy immediately understood Mo Yu's thoughts. He cleared his throat, then spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"I'm not… a work approved by Ruan Mei… boo hoo hoo…"
It must be said that with that high-pitched voice combined with his coy posture, Mo Yu felt he had about sixty percent of Teacher Qin's skill. Of course, in terms of abstractness, he naturally surpassed her.
Too bad… "A bit interesting… but… there's no reward."
Mo Yu smiled and turned to walk straight out of the classroom. Of course, this guy's performance was naturally fully seen by the viewers in Zang Jing Shu's live stream from afar.
[LOL, Sister Shu, which school is this? Are the students all so lively?]
[Interesting souls attract each other.]
[It feels reasonable, Ruan Mei didn't respond to him either, LOL.]
...On the corridor, because it was still class time, the corridor was empty, which made Mo Yu secretly breathe a sigh of relief. But then, he realized he... was being silly for being nervous.
He wasn't a real teacher, and even if he was caught by another teacher, he could just say he was going to the restroom. Speaking of which... if he went to the men's restroom like this, would he be misunderstood?
Mo Yu's mind wandered, and the cool and aloof aura about him diminished. But soon, a hurried sound of running came from the corridor. The sudden sound also caught Mo Yu's attention.
He looked up, gazing in the direction of the sound, only to see a familiar figure running frantically at the other end of the corridor.
"Senior Sister?"
Mo Yu was slightly startled, then whispered. However, at this distance and with this sound, the other party certainly wouldn't hear him, even as the two of them got closer.
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
He heard the other person saying softly, and then rushing into the classroom behind Mo Yu.
"…"
Mo Yu stood in place, momentarily unsure if he should return to the classroom. But then again, his task was considered successfully completed, right? So, there was no need to go back.
But... to be safe, he still sent a message to Senior Sister via Green Bubble.
"Senior Sister, I finished class and slipped away early."
After doing all this, Mo Yu put his phone back and then left with a clear conscience.
On the other side, Xing Qinglan had already rushed straight into the classroom. She was completely unaware that the girl she had just passed on the way was actually her Little Junior Brother.
"Senior…???"
Xing Qinglan glanced at the podium, only to find it empty, but the projected content left behind indicated that the coursework was completed.
"Uh… where's your substitute teacher?"
Xing Qinglan turned her head and asked the students in the front row.
"Just left."
"Senior Sister! Do you know that Teacher Ruan Mei just now?"
"What Ruan Mei? Didn't I tell my Little Junior Brother…"
Xing Qinglan suddenly seemed to realize something. She also recalled the figure she had just passed… At the same time, her phone vibrated at just the right moment.
Looking at the message from Mo Yu, Xing Qinglan immediately had a thought—is Little Junior Brother in love? Oh my god! He's been hiding it well!
