No matter which university it is, teacher-student romances are prohibited.
If discovered by colleagues or supervisors, it will definitely affect the evaluation of academic titles and promotions, but how would people find out?
In fact, it's quite difficult. As long as the two people involved are careful, avoiding intimate physical contact in public settings, they won't be discovered. Even if soone notices they have so undue physical contact, they can just deny their relationship with a unified story, leaving the managent in a difficult position to insist otherwise.
So, unless for so reason the two of them have a falling out, usually it's the student who feels deceived and reports the teacher to the school, making a big scene before the school takes action against the teacher.
In detail, this is a case of "no complaint, no investigation" problem.
However, if a teacher who already has a spouse is ambiguously involved with a student, it will surely be despised by colleagues and supervisors, and the consequences will be more severe. Additionally, romances between male teachers and female students tend to provoke more resistance, whereas the opposite provokes less resistance and the consequences are less severe.
For instance, if the parties are a female teacher and a male student, and both are single; if they et and develop feelings during the course, and start a romantic relationship only after the student graduates... this isn't considered a teacher-student romance anymore.
Chen Shucheng is also willing to turn a blind eye to this, pretending to be ignorant for his own peace of mind, as well as for everyone's benefit.
...
"It's done. Take it and go to the academic office for the follow-up procedures."
Li Peifeng had been waiting in the office. Seeing Zhao Qingge return with the application signed by Chen Shucheng, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "You're incredible! How did you persuade Dean Chen? I thought we'd have to co again in a few days to talk him into agreeing."
Zhao Qingge didn't look well. By now, she realized she had been a bit hasty in handling the matter, possibly causing Chen Shucheng to notice their unusual relationship. Coupled with the effects of her hangover, she didn't respond to Li Peifeng and just sat at her desk, massaging her head.
Li Peifeng stepped forward, concerned, "Did you take the dicine I gave you?"
Zhao Qingge humd, "Go handle the paperwork. Once done, go back and write your thesis. There're only a few months left until the defense. If you don't hurry, you might miss it. Oh, from now on, you don't have to attend the project group etings, focus on writing your thesis, and submit the first draft to for review."
"No worries, there'll be plenty of ti."
Li Peifeng assured her, "Plus, it won't delay the project you're helping with. Even if I graduate next year, I will continue working with you."
While talking, he rummaged through the bag of dicine and found the liquid had been consud, but the capsule wasn't opened. He then took Zhao Qingge's cup, refilled it with warm water, and handed her the dicine.
"The best effect cos from taking both dicines together."
Perhaps wanting to quickly rid herself of the alcohol's effects, Zhao Qingge obediently took the water and swallowed the dicine.
"What were you discussing with your classmates yesterday during dinner to drink that much alcohol?"
Zhao Qingge let out a long breath, glancing at her reflection in the computer screen. After a mont of silence, she suddenly asked, "Why do you think a person likes another person?"
"..."
"Is it because the other person is young, beautiful, smart, or has so other advantages?"
Li Peifeng sensed the hidden aning in Old Zhao's question. Wasn't she essentially asking him why he likes her?
But he had said it so many tis in dreams already. Well, well, never said it in real life, so he might as well say sothing she hasn't heard before.
"I don't know about others, but if I like soone, it's because I'm lustful."
Li Peifeng joked in a serious tone. After saying it, he tried to lean closer, but Zhao Qingge didn't laugh, instead pushing him away and giving him a scrutinizing look, "So, it's because of looks? What if that person isn't pretty anymore, or what if soone else is equally pretty?"
Seeing Old Zhao's seriousness, Li Peifeng thought for a mont and decided to answer earnestly.
"In truth, words and language are powerless in expressing affection. Why? Because love inevitably involves primal needs and sensory desires. You ask why I like soone, and I can only answer with the superficial like 'you're pretty and have a good figure'. Going further, I can ntion vague reasons like 'your personality suits , and I'm happy with you'."
"Are these reasons for love? Of course, but not entirely. What's left are reasons that are purer, sothing that could be called love, but this emotion is so complex, it's hard to describe in words."
Zhao Qingge nodded slightly, "Then try to describe it."
Li Peifeng thought to himself that she wanted to hear sweet words. Who knows what she talked about with her classmates yesterday, hope it wasn't about breaking up. Here she is, early in the morning, seeking comfort from …
"It's just about matching on a deeper level, understanding each other's hearts, accompanying each other, providing tactful criticism, gentle comfort, necessary understanding, and infinite strength."
Li Peifeng paused, then softly said, "When you're intimate, you both blush and feel nervous yet expectant, thinking 'ah, this is wonderful', hoping to stay together forever, feeling nothing but courage, making even the mundane life seem beautiful and cozy."
While he was speaking, Li Peifeng slowly bent down, leaned in closer to Zhao Qingge, and by the ti he finished speaking, he had kissed her.
Earlier, to two other girls, he had said that an ideal partner would act, at your need, as a mirror, a teacher, and a playmate.
Li Peifeng felt that Old Zhao played these roles best, so his words were genuine, accompanied by a lingering lody and a kiss, leaving Zhao Qingge quite satisfied with his response.
Their lips gently touched for over two seconds, and just as Li Peifeng was about to escalate, Zhao Qingge turned her head slightly, subconsciously dodging, her eyes looking elsewhere, her cheeks faintly red, tone indifferent, "The door isn't locked, do that again and you'll be thrown out."
"I think it's wonderful just as it is now!" Li Peifeng whispered with a smile, straightening up, and refrained from getting bolder.
After all, they were at school, and Li Peifeng didn't dare to go too far. After exchanging a few more words, he picked up the form to leave, but just as he turned and took a step forward, he heard Zhao Qingge's voice.
"You…"
Zhao Qingge sorted her hair, hesitated slightly, as if wanting to say sothing, but didn't say anything.
"What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing."
Li Peifeng probed, but Zhao Qingge shook her head, leaving him unwilling to let it go, knowing that there was sothing she wanted to say.
So he kept asking, but Old Zhao remained silent. Finally, feeling annoyed, she blurted out, "How old are you this year?"
"You've forgotten? I'm twenty-three."
Li Peifeng replied without thinking, instantly realizing that Old Zhao was worried about their age gap.
Why didn't she mind it before? It's likely related to what she discussed with those two classmates of hers!
Damn it, they're just causing trouble for .
Sighing inwardly, he turned to comfort Zhao Qingge and reassure her, but getting ready to speak, he realized his words lacked novelty, so he decided to do the opposite.
"I'm twenty-three, you're thirty-three… Let put it this way, with your qualities, you may have many n pursuing you in the future, not lacking in handso ones, but one as young and handso as , you'll never et again in your lifeti!"
Zhao Qingge was stunned, and Li Peifeng continued sincerely, "So, please quickly accept your true feelings, cherish baby carefully, and don't wait until you miss the opportunity, making yourself both tearful and heartbroken, alright?"
