Jun Hongbo shot Yun Wenjing a sharp look and sneered. “Real talent and knowledge, huh? Alright, I’ll be keeping an eye on you.”
After saying that, he plopped down into his seat, looking as if he was ready to pay full attention to the lesson. Yet, the chilling, almost tangible malice in his gaze sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Suddenly, a girl dressed in a purple outfit stood up from the back of the classroom. Her hair was adorned with a shimmering, multicolored hairpin that sparkled like fireflies. With a bright smile, she strolled toward Xi Yue and said sweetly, “Instructor, you’ve been standing for so long. Aren’t you thirsty or tired? Do you want some tea?”
As she spoke, she flipped her wrist. A delicate teacup filled with vibrant green, fragrant tea appeared in her hand.
She held the teacup with her slender fingers and handed it to Xi Yue. The girl had a faint smile on her face. Her fair skin and clear eyes made her smile even more beautiful.
Xi Yue glanced at her but remained silent, making no move to accept the tea.
Meng Zisu’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, her delicate hands trembling slightly as she held the teacup. A sweet, intoxicating fragrance radiated from her, carrying an almost bewitching allure. “Instructor,” she murmured, her voice quivering with a mix of grievance and charm, “Do you refuse my tea because you look down on me? Or are you afraid? Afraid that I might harm you?”
Her words had pushed things to the point where, as a “man,” refusing to drink the tea would undoubtedly invite ridicule from everyone around.
The students of Class Three from the Water Medicine Department all wore expressions of gleeful anticipation, eager to see how Xi Yue would handle the situation.
Xi Yue couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. Can’t these little troublemakers come up with a new trick when trying to mess with someone?
With a calm expression, Xi Yue casually took the tea and downed it in one gulp.
Meng Zisu’s face lit up with satisfaction as a bright, cheerful smile curved her lips, making her look especially charming. “Instructor, you’re my favorite!” she said sweetly. “Now you can start the lesson. We’ll all listen carefully, but you mustn’t quit halfway, okay?”
After saying that, she walked off the stage with a smile and exchanged a look with a girl below.
The girl’s complexion was unnaturally pale, and her features were at best unremarkable. However, her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Meeting Meng Zisu’s gaze, she curved her lips into a faint smile.
“Mi Xuan, how long do you think it’ll take for this instructor to react to the medicine you prepared?” the girl sitting next to her asked with a mischievous grin. “What kind of effect will it have this time? Don’t tell me it’s like last time—making someone itch so badly they couldn’t stand it and ended up stripping in the middle of class! Hahaha!“
Mi Xuan didn’t respond, but a smug and anticipatory smile spread across her face.
Xi Yue seemed completely oblivious to the undercurrents of mischief brewing below. With a calm demeanor, she began the lesson as if nothing had happened.
Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying a perpetually cool and composed tone. The steady, unhurried cadence made it exceptionally pleasant to listen to. ṙＡＮỐ𝔟ΕṤ
Jun Hongbo frowned and glared at the young man, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
He must know who we are, right? Yet, unlike the other instructors, he neither fears us nor tries to curry favor.
Heh, but his time to act tough won’t last much longer, will it?
He had seen with his own eyes as Xi Yue drank the tea Meng Zisu offered. It wouldn’t be long before the effects of the medicine kicked in.
In a moment, he will be making a fool of himself!
Jun Hongbo wasn’t skilled in medicine, and he found himself harboring a deep dislike for the arrogant young man. Yet, to his surprise, as he listened to the young man’s calm and soothing voice, a wave of drowsiness washed over him. Before he knew it, he had slumped onto the desk and fallen asleep.
