1979: My fiancée is a goddess

"Shashasha~"

On a morning in early September, a gentle breeze rustled through the woods behind the teaching building, creating a tranquil white noise.

Cheng Kaiyan, with her tall and straight figure like a cedar tree, stood at the classroom door, attracting many curious and excited glances.

He carried the scent of soap from his recent shower and drifted into the classroom on the cool breeze.

Sensing the faint, familiar scent, Jiang Ting couldn't help but deepen her breathing.

Her calm gaze fell on Cheng Kaiyan, and she warned in an icy tone, "This is the first time you've been late for a department meeting. Next time, stand at the back!"

"Okay, teacher."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled helplessly and said honestly.

He wasn't surprised by this, even though Director Fang and the professors hadn't said anything and didn't seem to care about such a small matter.

However, it was different for my aunt, who couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection and was extremely meticulous and serious about her teaching work.

Her students went to pick someone up from out of town, which not only caused the department meeting to be late, but also pushed the entire school's opening ceremony to the afternoon.

If she doesn't criticize and educate him, how can she convince the public?
"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting nodded slightly, raised her fair hand and waved to him, pointing to the empty seat next to the podium, right in front of her, and said, "Come in, there's a seat here."

"Thank you, teacher."

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at the table, where a work notebook with a pen clipped to it sat.

Then he came in and sat down in the seat.

Upon opening it and examining the handwriting, it was indeed my aunt's notebook.

Cheng Kaiyan felt a warmth in her heart.

"Let's continue, next one."

Director Fang slapped the table and gave the order.

"Hello everyone, I am..."

Another girl walked up; she was pretty and had a delicate, refined air about her.

Some of the young people in the audience were thus distracted and went to look at the pretty women.

Only a few people were still staring at Cheng Kaiyan's back, their faces filled with excitement as they muttered to themselves, seemingly recognizing him.

In the middle of the classroom.

"Who is this man? I think I saw Professor Jiang smile at him just now! It must be my imagination, right?"

Tang Feng nudged his roommate and asked in a slightly sour tone.

Recalling how she was treated, she was completely ignored with a cold glance.

Comparing himself to this man, he felt incredibly envious.

"I don't know, but although Professor Jiang smiled at him, he was also very strict when he criticized him. They must be some kind of relatives."

Li Yue stroked his chin and guessed.

"It's definitely true. Nowadays, postgraduate entrance exams are all conducted independently by the universities, and there are many intricacies involved."

Most likely, they're relatives who got in through connections. They dared to be late for their first department meeting; they're really bold.

A subtle emotion suddenly welled up in Zhang Junjie's heart, and he made a guess with no small amount of malice.

The sound of the four people whispering quickly caught the attention of Liu Zhiyi, who was standing in front.

"What are you talking about... a relative who got in through connections? Teacher Cheng..."

Liu Zhiyi frowned, thinking with dissatisfaction, then paused, somewhat amused and exasperated: "It seems he really did get into Beijing Normal University through connections..."

She had no intention of talking to or explaining to the boy behind her.

Firstly, it's the time for self-introductions, and it would be impolite to whisper.

Secondly, as a girl with a sensitive mind, she could vaguely sense that Li Yue and Tang Feng's group seemed to have some issues with Teacher Cheng Kaiyan because of Professor Jiang.

It's probably jealousy or envy, right?
These days, gay men are really strange; they actually have possessive desires towards beautiful, unfamiliar female lesbians.

If Professor Jiang isn't enthusiastic towards his own children, why would he be enthusiastic towards you strangers?

Thinking about this, Liu Zhiyi found it quite amusing and muttered with anticipation:

"If they find out that Professor Jiang isn't taking on any other students, but only Professor Cheng, when they're choosing their advisors later, won't they be incredibly jealous?"

The students quickly finished their self-introductions.

Director Fang originally intended to have Cheng Kaiyan go up and introduce herself, but Cheng Kaiyan shook her head and refused.

It's not that I'm deliberately playing dumb to fool others, or that I'm intentionally keeping a low profile.

He just got off the train and is physically and mentally exhausted.

If he introduces himself in a moment, and the students below find out his real identity, won't they all swarm around him?
He became famous nationwide at the recent charity gala, so he still has that much confidence.

As for this self-introduction, let's just forget about it; they'll find out at the opening ceremony this afternoon.

Now all he wants is for the meeting to end quickly so he can go back to his aunt's office and catch up on some sleep.

Director Fang nodded, clapped his hands at the young people in the classroom, and said with a smile, "Alright, that concludes the self-introductions. I have memorized all of your names."

All of you here are members of Beijing Normal University and are also high-level talents of our country.

"From now on, whether it's problems with your studies, life, or relationships, feel free to confide in me. I'll definitely help if I can, but please don't ask an old man for money."

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing the department head's sincere yet humorous words, the new graduate students burst into laughter.

"Okay, after the self-introductions, we have a basic impression of each other."

Next, everyone take out a piece of paper, write down their chosen mentor on the paper, and hand it in.

Each person can choose one professor as the primary advisor and another as a backup, and the final decision is made by the professors themselves…

Director Fang nodded in satisfaction and explained the rules for the teacher-student selection process in detail.

The students below then took out paper and pens and began to make their choices.

"Comrade Cheng, would you be interested in coming to my place?"

Director Fang stepped down from the stage and asked Cheng Kaiyan with a smile.

He also plans to select a few students to train this year, and he just mentioned some promising candidates.

However, compared to Cheng Kaiyan, they are not on the same level.

Cheng Kaiyan is choosing a graduate advisor; this is a rare opportunity.

Even though he already had a choice, Director Fang still wanted to try and see if there was a chance to take this young great writer under his wing as a student.

"Director Fang..."

Just as Cheng Kaiyan was about to speak, a beautiful woman with her arms crossed and a cold expression walked up to him and glanced at him as she stood beside him.

He looked up and saw his aunt's expressionless face, and her slightly narrowed, beautiful eyes staring coldly at him.

"Haha, I appreciate Director Fang's kindness, but I still hope to study under Professor Jiang."

Cheng Kaiyan pretended nothing had happened and chuckled, then unscrewed Jiang Ting's pen, opened her notebook, and swiftly wrote down two beautiful names on the paper.

One is Jiang Ting, and the other is also Jiang Ting.

"Cheng Kaiyan, you weren't listening to the lecture again, were you?"
Each student should select two professors, one as the primary choice and one as a backup. Who told you to fill in all my names?

Jiang Ting lowered her phoenix eyes and glanced at her two names on the notebook. Her delicate eyebrows relaxed, and she raised her snow-white widow's peak, speaking in a calm tone.

The sound wasn't too loud or too soft, but the professors and students next to me could hear it clearly.

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan and Director Fang exchanged a glance and fell silent.

This is definitely intentional!

To be honest, he finds it hard to tell whether this woman's meticulousness stems from her inherent personality.

Or is it just a woman's natural tendency to show off that she said this?

Cheng Kaiyan's mind was racing. Her gaze suddenly swept past the beautiful woman and landed on her full belly. Her fingertips kept stroking her delicate hands, and she immediately said ingratiatingly, "Well, it's because I only want to be Professor Jiang's student, right? You'll definitely choose me, won't you?"

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on whether you're good enough."

Jiang Ting gave a light snort and said indifferently.

"...That would be such a shame. I'd better go find another teacher."

Cheng Kaiyan sighed, pretending to be somewhat dejected.

"no!"

Upon seeing this, the beautiful woman immediately widened her eyes, then reached out and patted Cheng Kaiyan's hair with a slightly encouraging look in her eyes. "Cheng Kaiyan, doing academic work is like being a person; you must be consistent from beginning to end, don't you think?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Cheng Kaiyan chuckled inwardly; this woman was truly hypocritical.

Director Fang and the professors watching from the sidelines marveled at the sight; it seemed that only Professor Jiang could keep Cheng Kaiyan in check at this school.

After all, he was a nephew-in-law, nephew, and student all in one. Soon, the students in the class chose their two favorite tutors, wrote their names on them, and handed them to Director Fang.

"Alright, everyone, you can disperse now!"

Director Fang finished organizing the list and announced the disbandment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became lively.

Some of the bolder students approached their favorite professors to ask questions, and others followed suit.

"Professor Jiang!"

"Do you remember me? I'm Li Mengyin from Tsinghua University! We're from the same school! Senior sister!"

Jiang Ting, in particular, who is young, beautiful, and has top academic qualifications, has attracted much attention, and many people want to be her student.

Although the boys really wanted to, most of them hesitated and only dared to admire from afar.

Therefore, Jiang Ting was actually surrounded by more girls at this moment.

"Wow, Professor Jiang is really popular. A lot of girls have gathered around him."

Holding her notebook, Liu Zhiyi stood with her best friend Tao Yourui, looking at Professor Jiang surrounded by the crowd, and sighed.

"Of course! Professor Jiang is a rising star in the academic world at Beijing Normal University! I heard he's getting promoted again at the end of the year!"

Tao Yourui was full of praise.

"A 33-year-old full professor, I wonder if we'll ever be able to get one."

Liu Zhiyi sighed, and was about to get up and go back to her dormitory when she turned around and heard the discussion behind her.

"Let's go ask our advisors together, who did you all choose?"

Tang Feng looked at Professor Jiang Ting, who was surrounded by several female students on the podium, and felt anxious, worried that someone would take her spot.

"I also chose Professor Jiang; she's so beautiful."

"Fatty Zhang Junjie said with a smile."

"Professor Jiang! You're really popular! If we don't go now, there might not be any spots left. Let's go!"

The four of them quickly went over.

"The four of them..."

Liu Zhiyi looked at the four of them with a strange expression.

"Professor Jiang only takes on one student, so it's pointless for them to fill out the forms. Why bother with them? Aren't these boys just attracted to Professor Jiang because he's good-looking?"

Tao Yourui curled her lip in disdain. She had overheard these boys' loud discussion earlier and said sarcastically, "Professor Jiang probably won't even acknowledge them!"

As she spoke, Tao Yourui glanced at Cheng Kaiyan, who was sitting and dozing off, and felt a little regretful. She actually wanted Professor Jiang to be her teacher.

Although Professor Jiang was a bit strict and aloof, he was the most professional and suitable teacher to impart knowledge and skills.

However, most of the students in the department who were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination knew that Professor Jiang would not have chosen to supervise postgraduate students if it weren't for Cheng Kaiyan.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Liu Zhiyi knew perfectly well what was going on, and she leaned closer to her friend, holding her arm.

At this moment, Tang Feng, Li Yue and their group arrived at the podium. The podium was quite spacious, but there were too many people to squeeze in, so they stood right next to Cheng Kaiyan.

"Dude, why are you still sleeping face down? Which professor would want you if you slept like that?"

Fatty Zhang Junjie looked down at Cheng Kaiyan and made a sarcastic remark.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Cheng Kaiyan didn't even look up, responding indifferently.

Where did this idiot come from?
"Humph."

Zhang Junjie snorted coldly: "There are all kinds of people in this world."

Tang Feng, Li Yue, and the others standing nearby also wore expressions that were hard to describe. This comrade has some connections, and he really seems to be fearless.

Soon, the number of people decreased significantly.

The reason is simple: all the students who spoke with Jiang Ting received only one sentence: go back and wait for further notice.

"Go back and wait for further instructions?"

People were not very satisfied with this response.

"Professor Jiang, can't you talk to us a little longer? We're freshmen and don't know anything. Do you remember me? We've been running together a lot in the mornings lately?"

Tang Feng leaned closer, trying to ingratiate himself.

"It's you?"

Jiang Ting glanced at him.

"Yes, yes, Professor Jiang, we can exchange training experiences more often in the future. My mother is a professional athlete."

Tang Feng was overjoyed to receive a response and excitedly said...

"No need."

Jiang Ting stood up expressionlessly, coldly tossed out a sentence, and turned away as if she couldn't be bothered to say another word.

The students quickly made way for Tang Feng and the others, and soon they saw Professor Jiang walk up to Cheng Kaiyan and affectionately nudge his head.

"Wake up, Xiao Yan, go back to your office and sleep."

"Oh, is it all done?"

The two then left the classroom side by side, leaving behind a bewildered Tang Feng, Zhang Junjie, and others.

"Who is this person?!"

Tang Feng had always had a smooth life in college, and now that he was being looked down upon and ignored like this, his face was naturally both ashamed and angry, turning red with rage.

"You don't even know this?"

Liu Zhiyi then chuckled and teased.

"you know?"

Tang Feng frowned and asked impatiently, "If you know, just say it. Why are you keeping me in suspense?"

"Old Tang!"

Li Yue immediately glared: "Why are you taking your anger out on a female comrade?"

"Hehe, you'll find out who he is soon enough, just wait for the opening ceremony this afternoon."

A hint of disdain flashed in Liu Zhiyi's eyes. She distanced herself from Li Yue, casually tossed out a remark, and turned to leave with her friend.

"Opening ceremony?!"

……

At noon, the group ate lunch in the cafeteria, filled with doubt.

After lunch, I took a walk for a while and then went back to take a nap.

At 2 p.m., the group arrived at the school auditorium.

Today's school-wide opening ceremony is being held here.

A huge crowd of people, thousands of students and teachers, sat and waited.

Li Yue, Tang Feng, Zhang Junjie, Wang Zhishu, and others quickly found their seats and sat down.

This time, however, Liu Zhiyi didn't invite them to sit together.

This left Li Yue somewhat disappointed.

"Good afternoon, students and teachers..."

Soon the opening ceremony began, and Principal Wang spoke on stage with a microphone for about half an hour.

It makes many people drowsy.

President Wang applauded and said, "That concludes my speech. Now, let's welcome Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, a nationally renowned literary writer, poet, philanthropist, internationally renowned scholar, and representative of our 81 graduate students, to the stage to speak!"

"Ahhh! It's Teacher Cheng Kaiyan!"

"Teacher Cheng!"

Upon hearing this name, a large group of young people in the audience exclaimed in surprise, shouted excitedly, and burst into thunderous applause.

Few young people are unfamiliar with this name.

The name Cheng Kaiyan is a compliment and a role model for young people. She was a leader of youth literature in the past, and now she is a leader of young people!
Especially after his recent donation of up to $250,000, he became famous throughout the country!

No one knows it, no one knows it!
"Class of '81 freshmen? Professor Cheng Kaiyan is our graduate student!"

Li Yue immediately became excited and shouted, "I'm a fan of his! I've read all of Teacher Cheng's works!"

Tang Feng, Wang Zhishu, and Zhang Junjie were also incredibly curious, craning their necks to look at the stage.

Let's see what that legendary writer actually looks like!
Soon, amidst thunderous applause from the young people, a very familiar, tall and slender figure slowly walked onto the stage, revealing his true appearance.

"It's him!"

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, and they gasped in surprise. (End of Chapter)
