1418 Heartache
Just as Wen Shan signed in to Professor Yin’s profile to record his attendance, Ding Junhui entered the office.
“Wen Shan.”
Wen Shan looked up and saw Ding Junhui walking towards her.
“Don’t record his same,” Ding Junhui reached out and grabbed Wen Shan’s wrist and said rather excitedly, “record your own name.”
“Imagine what he would do if I record my own name,” Wen Shan pulled away from Ding Junhui and exclaimed.
“Did you not see Secretary Yu during the class?”
“Secretary Yu? I saw him only once during the opening ceremony. I don’t really remember his face,” said Wen Shan. She then leaned back against her chair and tried to recall what had happened during her class, “though there were a few officers who stood by the door during the second hour of my class. Could it be Secretary Yu?”
“Look at this, there’s a new instant attendance record. The Physics Department will be the first to carry out this pilot system, which means that a designated officer will drop by every class from now on to record the name of the person teaching the class.” Ding Junhui opened the university’s website on the puter and showed it to Wen Shan.
“So I get to keep my class hour? I do? I do, right?” Wen Shan grabbed Ding Junhui’s arm and asked while cheering excitedly after reading the announcement.
Ding Junhui nodded, grinning.
“That’s awesome, that’s so awesome! Thank you, Teacher Ding. Thank you so much!” said Wen Shan excitedly, and suddenly paused as she logged out of Professor Yin’s profile. “Do you think Professor Yin will get punished if I record his name now?”
“Don’t do that. Both of you might get punished.”
“But what can I do when the professor instructs me to do so?”
“Who do you think the university would choose between the two of you if they really had to?”
“Forget it then.” Wen Shan thought about it again and decided not to risk recording the professor’s name.
Nalan Chunbo who was expecting to use the false attendance to warn Professor Yin was surprised to see Wen Shan recording her own name.
Great. Just great!
“Thank you for what happened today, Teacher Ding. Let me buy you a meal?” Wen Shan asked, in a very good mood for getting to keep her class hour.
“You should thank the university. How lucky of you to begin your career with the new system,” said Ding Junhui smilingly.
“Watch out,” he yelled and grabbed Wen Shan’s wrist to pull her aside when a bicycle passed by from behind.
The bicycle passed by quickly, followed by a sports car.
“Why is he driving so fast on campus? Wen Shan demanded while taking a step back.
“Let’s go,” said Ding Junhui after the road was clear.
Nalan Chunbo drove very quickly and stopped after he was far enough to check out the two of them who were walking together from the rear mirror.
Nalan Chunbo could tell that Wen Shan was in a very good mood when he saw her gesturing wildly. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and began to breathe heavily.
He felt anger, followed by a heartache that overwhelmed him. He waited until the heartbreaking feeling was over before he started the car engine again and left the school in his car.
He promised Wen Jie he would join them for lunch at Gu Mansion. When he arrived at Gu Mansion, the first person who came out of the house and ran to him was Xixi who had just undergone acupuncture treatment for more than a week. Xixi’s emotions had bee much more stable after the treatment and she ran to her uncle to hug him tightly.
“I heard you couldn’t e in the morning because you went to the university. What’s wrong?” Ye Yuwei leaned against the door and asked while looking at Nalan Chunbo.
