The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Yu Lan looked at Cen Jiexiao who was infatuated with him. She called out to her a few times but she didn't respond as if she had lost her soul. She couldn't help laughing.

"Dean, what's wrong with you? Have you taken your soul away?"

Yu Lan said, stretching out her hand and waving it in front of her eyes.

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about?"

Cen Jiexiao came back to her senses, her cheeks slightly red.

"No, it's nothing."

Yu Lan smiled evilly, leaned close to Cen Jiexiao's ear, and whispered mysteriously, "Dean, the cockroach on your shoe seems to like you, don't you want to take a look?"

As soon as the words fell, Cen Jiexiao's face turned pale.

"what!"

She jumped up from her chair.

"There are cockroaches, there are cockroaches!"

As Cen Jiexiao spoke, she stomped her feet hard on the ground, as if she wanted to crush the "terrible" cockroach to death.

Yu Lan couldn't help laughing when she saw Cen Jiexiao's exaggerated reaction.

"Dean, is it that serious? It's just a small cockroach."

Cen Jiexiao ignored Yu Lan's teasing.

"I, I'm afraid of cockroaches!"

As she spoke, she covered her face with her hands, as if trying to avoid the "horrible" cockroach.

Seeing Cen Jiexiao so frightened, Yu Lan stopped teasing her.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. There's no cockroach on your shoe!"

Cen Jiexiao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Yu Lan's words.

On Chen Zigui's side, after hearing Cen Jiexiao's scream, he frowned and quickly scanned the room. He lifted his sleeve with one hand, revealing a silver-white wristband, and stood up in an instant, swiftly taking a defensive posture like a leaping leopard.

Chen Zigui tensed up, looking around with a sharp gaze, and asked anxiously and in a low voice, "Is there any danger?"

Cen Jiexiao blushed with embarrassment, grinned shamelessly, and quickly replied: "There are cockroaches, cockroaches, hehe, hehe..."

Then, she immediately pointed out the window and said, "Look, the sun is so beautiful!" Perhaps only Cen Jiexiao could do such an ineffective way to conceal her embarrassment.

Chen Zigui raised the corners of his lips, and replied with an expression that looked like he wanted to argue but had to cooperate with the situation, "Sister Cen, if I'm not blind, the moon should be rising above the branches outside right now... right?"

"The food is here!"

At this time, Xiaozhi and the waiter came in, carrying full plates filled with various dishes.

Before the dishes were even placed on the table, Xiaozhi noticed the three people all adopting unusual postures. However, she had no idea of the thrilling incident that had just occurred. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Are you standing up to welcome me? Don't do that. I can't handle it."

Chen Zigui was the first to come to his senses and break the silence, trying to lighten the awkwardness with a relaxed tone: "Oh, nothing, I was just admiring the sun outside the window... no! The moon."

"Senior Brother, have you been infected by the dean?" Xiaozhi couldn't help but interrupt, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

Yu Lan's face was burning, and she scratched her forehead awkwardly: "I, I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm stretching my muscles."

"Practicing? Sister Yulan, there's really no need to jump on a chair when practicing."

Then, Xiaozhi and the waiter, who were confused, looked at Cen Jiexiao who had just taken off on the spot. They were both stunned and didn't know what had happened.

Cen Jiexiao looked particularly embarrassed at this moment. She touched her nose, tried to avoid everyone's sight, and a blush flashed across her face.

He smiled nonchalantly and explained awkwardly, "I, I was just testing how high a person can fly."

Then she quickly added, "Yes, I have a feeling that people in the future will be able to fly in the sky."

Xiaozhi chuckled, looking at Cen Jiexiao's embarrassed look, and knowing what was going on, he changed the subject: "Can we sit down and eat now?"

"Of course, but what were you doing just now? Why do you all look like you've seen a ghost?" Xiaozhi asked curiously. She was really curious about what had happened to make these three people act so strangely.

Although they didn't know what happened, they had been with Sister Cen Xiao for a long time, so they were used to her occasional nervousness.

Chen Zigui smiled, trying to ease the awkwardness, and turned to Xiaozhi and said, "The food looks really good."

Xiaozhi added, "Yes, this aroma is so tempting. Come on, come on, the world is big but dry rice is the biggest. This is the Dean's wise saying."

A few people sat down and started eating and drinking, concentrating on enjoying the food in front of them.

Yu Lan gently patted Cen Jiexiao's shoulder, chuckled and whispered, "Don't be so 'scary' next time."

"Next time? Definitely next time!" Cen Jiexiao said with a smile, her tone full of confidence.

Cen Jiexiao had an innocent expression on her face. She held a cup of tea in one hand and offered it to Yu Lan, while making a scissors hand gesture in response with the other hand.

The table for four was laden with a variety of exquisite dishes, each one emitting a rich aroma that whetted one's appetite. The room was filled with the aroma of delicious food and the sounds of cheerful conversation, making one feel relaxed.

Cen Jiexiao, Chen Zigui, Yu Lan, and Xiao Zhi chatted away, occasionally raising their glasses to celebrate. The crisp clink of glasses echoed in the air, accompanied by the rich aroma of wine, and even their moods seemed to be tinged with a hint of drunkenness.

A mischievous gleam flashed across Cen Jiexiao's eyes, and she said with interest, "Have you heard the story about the moon?" Her voice was gentle and mysterious, causing everyone to look at her with curiosity.

She smiled and continued to tell the story: "It is a beautiful legend about the only woman on the moon, Chang'e." The others listened carefully, as if every word was a seed sown in their hearts, waiting to sprout.

"Really? There are people on the moon?" Yu Lan was quite surprised and full of curiosity.

"Of course there is, and that woman named Chang'e is as beautiful as a fairy—oh no, she is actually a fairy."

"However, she is the only one on the moon, with only a lovely jade rabbit to accompany her. Therefore, on such a big moon, only she and the jade rabbit are together." What Cen Jiexiao said added a touch of dreamy color to the air.

"How lonely Chang'e must be all by herself. Who can bear such loneliness?" Xiaozhi's face was full of regret after hearing this, and his voice revealed sympathy.

"So, I... one of my 'friends', in her hometown, there are always people who take a big ship called 'Tiangong' to visit Chang'e every once in a while."

When Cen Jiexiao said this, her expression became a little serious, as if she was lost in some memories, and those memories deep in her heart could only be quietly told when she was alone.

"It's incredible! Dean, if possible in the future, can you take us to visit your "friend's" hometown? We also want to take a ride on that big ship called "Heavenly Palace". We haven't seen what the gods look like yet." Her words were full of yearning and desire.

Xiaozhi pleaded expectantly, and Yu Lan beside him nodded, with a glimmer of desire in her eyes.

"Okay... okay, but it's very far away. If I really have the chance, I will definitely take you there. It's a paradise where people can live in peace and tranquility, with picturesque scenery that is truly captivating. Furthermore, the people there are hardworking, wise, and have deep faith. In short, it's a place you won't want to leave once you've been there."

Cen Jiexiao raised her head and forced a smile. She knew very well that these were all fantasies and completely unrealizable, but she still made a promise to them against her will.
