Many descendants

Early in the morning, Su Yan, whose biological clock was accustomed to morning runs, got up and went to the playground.

Upon arriving at the location, I saw teachers and students from all grades already jogging in the morning.

Jian was lazily dozing on the rest chair. He didn't want to come, but the teachers had to be present unless there were special circumstances, and even if they didn't run away, they had to take attendance.

He yawned again, then suddenly realized something and looked toward the edge of the playground.

Su Yan came over wearing a loose sports vest and trousers, seemingly looking for her class.

Jian immediately raised his hand, "This is Su, my classmate."

Su Yan had noticed him long ago, but given that he appeared downstairs at the girls' dormitory last night and forced her to attend his class, she disliked him and didn't want to pay any attention to him, so she didn't go over.

Now he's even greeting them first, and many teachers and students have noticed them. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over, bowing respectfully, "Good morning, teacher! You're here for a run too?"

"Hmm, good morning." Jian looked her over. "You look quite energetic, not at all like someone who sneaked out in the middle of the night."

Su Yan's vigilant nerves tensed instantly. "What are you saying, teacher? I studied in my dormitory all night and didn't go out."

"Is that so?" Jian looked at her with a playful smile.

Su Yan gradually broke out in a light sweat and replied affirmatively, "Yes."

"Oh, then I must have mistaken you for someone else. Is Su here for a run too?"

"Ah."

"Would you mind coming with the teacher?" Jian continued with a smile, which became even more charming.

Su Yan wanted to refuse, but her instincts told her that it was best to listen to advice. "It would be my pleasure."

Jian led Su Yan into the jogging group.

Su Yan could clearly feel the gazes falling on her, some curious, some disgusted, and some disdainful... many of them were a bit irritating.

So she deliberately ran slowly, trying to distance herself from Jian.

Unexpectedly, this person also slowed down and wanted to run with her!

Su Yan gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, saying, "Why don't you join the teacher's group?"

"Isn't it the teacher's job to lead the students in running exercises?" Jian said dismissively.

Su Yan was speechless, "..."

Finally, I couldn't be bothered with him anymore, so I just went my own way, pretending that he wasn't around and that his gazes were just air.

After finishing her morning exercises, which felt like an eternity, Su Yan immediately returned to her dormitory.

Watching Su Yan run off in a hurry, Jian found it increasingly amusing. However, during their morning exercises, he received a warning from Xiao Mei—[Don't flirt with the host again! If you fail your tribulation, things will get troublesome.]

It seems this teacher position won't last long.

When Su Yan returned to her dormitory, she found someone already there—a round-faced girl wearing glasses.

She looked at Su Yan, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, and blushed slightly as she said nervously, "Hello, my name is Cai Xiuwen. I was resting at home before and just returned to school."

"My name is Su Yan. By the way, I have a stray cat. Are you allergic to it?"

"No, no, not at all. I like furry little animals too."

"That's great!" Su Yan said with a smile, then pulled a box out from under the bed, inside which a small cow cat was sleeping.

"Wow~ It's so small!" Cai Xiuwen exclaimed with delight.

"Can you take care of it for me when I'm not in the dorm?"

“Of course,” Cai Xiuwen readily agreed. “What’s its name?”

"It's a cow cat, so I named it Niu Niu, and I hope it will grow up to be as strong and powerful as a cow."

"Mmm, Niu Niu is so cute." Cai Xiuwen tried to pet its head, and seeing that it was not only unafraid but also trying to please her, she liked it even more.

Su Yan and Cai Xiuwen went to the cafeteria for breakfast together and bought some sausages for Niu Niu.

The little guy isn't picky about food; he ate with great gusto.

Gu Cheng came to find Su Yan, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Here you go." Gu Cheng handed her the bag.

"What is this?" Su Yan took the bag, opened it, and saw that it contained cat food, canned cat food, and other items.

"Aren't you allergic to cats? Why did you buy these?"

"Picked it up on the road."

"...I'll pick up some from whichever road it is."

"Hmph~ I'm leaving." Gu Cheng turned and left.

Su Yan watched his retreating figure and chuckled, "I'll send you a picture of Niu Niu."

It must be said that the power of beauty is truly formidable.

When Su Yan arrived at the classroom as agreed with He Jian, the classroom was already full of students, and even the aisles were crowded with people.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to stand outside the door. When Jian came to class later, she could simply stand outside, announce her arrival, and that would be considered attending class.

Unexpectedly, Gu Cheng also attended this class, and he even sat in the front row with empty seats on both sides, making it look very spacious.

Gu Cheng noticed Su Yan, thought for a moment, got up from his seat, and walked to the door. "What do you want?"

“I’m not looking for you,” Su Yan replied.

"..." You're just being presumptuous!

"Oh, I'm here for class. I'm a little late, and there are no seats left," Su Yan replied.

Gu Cheng grabbed her hand. "Come with me."

Su Yan looked at his hand, blinked, and did not resist.

However, under the watchful eyes of many, it still caused quite a few onlookers to whisper among themselves.

Su Yan was too lazy to listen to what they were saying, and finally followed Gu Cheng to sit down next to him.

“I’ve never seen you draw at home.” Gu Cheng noticed that Su Yan hadn’t brought any teaching aids, so he shared his with her as well.

Su Yan thanked her, "I just wanted to draw a cow, I suddenly got interested."

"Isn't it because Teacher Jian is handsome?" Gu Cheng thought, "I saw through you a long time ago, don't try to fool me!"

Su Yan picked up a charcoal pencil and played with it between her fingers. "In my opinion, he's not as good-looking as you."

"Oh?" Jian arrived just in time and heard Su Yan's words.

Su Yan instinctively shrank her neck, not knowing why, and stood up with an awkward smile, saying, "No, the teacher is still the most handsome."

"That's good! Haha, I was just kidding." Jian stood in front of the podium and said to all the students, "Alright, get ready for class."

……

Although Teacher Jian seemed unreliable, his lectures were quite good. Su Yan absorbed a lot of his knowledge and felt a little unsatisfied when class ended.

Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that the teacher giving the lecture was herself an extremely beautiful woman.

"My mom's coming home for dinner tonight. She has something to tell you," Gu Cheng said to Su Yan.

Su Yan nodded, "It's rare for Her Highness to come back, and she gave me so many wonderful things. I must express my gratitude in person."

Gu Cheng looked at her and said, "We're engaged."

"Oh." Su Yan looked at him, belatedly realizing that he was different today than usual.

First he bought her cat food, then he gave up his seat for her to listen to the lecture—things that would have been absolutely unthinkable before. And he had always been against their engagement, so why is he now approving?

Gu Cheng continued, "From now on... no matter what happens, I'll still be here for you."
