Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 168 - 168 165 Teacher-Student Romance

Chapter 168: Chapter 165 Teacher-Student Romance Chapter 168: Chapter 165 Teacher-Student Romance But aside from Mu Shaotang and Li Qingyan feeling uncomfortable, when the old Master Mu and the old lady thought back to their eldest daughter’s scholarly glories, they felt proud.

After all, because of their eldest daughter, they had been the envy and admiration of relatives, friends, and many parents. It’s just a pity that their sons turned out to be of mediocre talent.

Old Master Mu glanced at his two sons sitting on the sofa… better not dwell on the past.

He turned to Mu Zhe, “Judging by what you’ve said, then that kid is already in college now?”

This possibility was very high!

Old Mrs. Mu said happily, “That’s wonderful, Chen Yan is smart, and her children are extraordinary too… Stop guessing, just go ask and you’ll find out.”

She looked at Mu Shaoning, “Where does your sister live now?”

“Doesn’t her family have a villa in Yulong District? They should be living there, I suppose.”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and turned his head to ask Mu Can, “At the beginning of the school term, didn’t you say that your aunt was going to be the dean of your fine arts college? Did she go?”

Mu Can shook his head, “No, the current dean is Professor Feng.”

Old Master Mu felt it was a pity, how could one refuse such an opportunity?

What a great opportunity!

The old lady didn’t care about that, all she needed was to find the person, “Shaoning, you drive there first thing tomorrow morning and find out for sure if they are living there.”

Mu Shaoning was already burning with urgency, how could he wait until tomorrow? He stood up, took the car keys, and walked outside, “I’ll go right now.”

Yong Ruifang quickly stood up, “I’ll go with you.”

Mu Zhe was about to say that their aunt might not reconcile with them, but seeing his excited and emotional grandparents and his uncle and aunt, he opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Let them find out for themselves.

….

“Song Jiawen, come up and solve this problem.”

Female teachers in the physics department are especially rare, Luo Xiao teaches group theory, and she’s the only female teacher in their main courses.

Xue Weisong stood up to let Song Jiawen come out; she almost didn’t pause and, as soon as she stood on the podium, she took the chalk to list the steps to solve the problem, her handwriting neat, her logic clear.

Luo Xiao was now accustomed to her writing; when she looked at the other students’ work, she felt disdainful.

Besides, in the physics department, sometimes it’s not all about hard work—sometimes, talent and IQ are even more important, and Song Jiawen was someone who had both… no, she should be said to have all three.

Luo Xiao looked at her delicate and pretty face with complex eyes.

“Song Jiawen has explained the steps very clearly; does everyone understand?”

After class, Xue Weisong asked Song Jiawen with some concern, “Teacher Luo calls you up to the podium to solve problems every class; you haven’t offended her, have you?”

Offended her?

Song Jiawen was completely clueless, “She calls me up because she’s lazy, right?”

She had no particular thoughts about Teacher Luo; she didn’t mind being called to the podium by her, but she really thought the teacher was a bit lazy. For any slightly complicated problem-solving steps, she had to write them—all more than the teacher herself would write in a class.

But that had nothing to do with offending someone, right? Besides, apart from going to the podium, Teacher Luo didn’t trouble her in any other way.

Call a teacher lazy?

Xue Weisong’s mouth twitched, but then he thought about it and felt it was true. He laughed, feeling that he might have been overthinking it.

However, after school, Luo Xiao stopped Song Jiawen downstairs.

“Come have lunch with me in the teachers’ cafeteria; there are a few problems I want to discuss with you.”

Song Jiawen parted with Liang Yujun and others and followed Luo Xiao to the small cafeteria.

“Song Jiawen, you seem to be quite familiar with Professor Yu.”

Although Yu Heng now teaches them advanced mathematics, he has never looked for Song Jiawen before or after class. He only prefers to bring her fruit after dinner.

So, did Teacher Luo see that?

Song Jiawen was weighing her words in her heart, but before she could speak, she heard Teacher Luo continue, “Professor Yu is indeed excellent, and he is also very handsome. It’s normal for young girls like you to like him. However, at Beijing University, teacher-student romances are not allowed. If discovered, both the teacher and student would be expelled. Song Jiawen, you are so outstanding; the teacher doesn’t want you to be blinded by youth and take the wrong path.”

Song Jiawen: “???”

A teacher-student romance?

Is she talking about her and her elder brother?

Song Jiawen stared blankly at Luo Xiao, not knowing what to say.

And Luo Xiao thought her expression meant that she had hit the nail on the head and that Song Jiawen was struck by the realization, hence not responding for the moment.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she averted her gaze, wondering if her tone had been too harsh and scared the young girl.

Although today’s talk was driven by her own interests, she genuinely meant well. For the sake of the young girl’s future and career, it was essential to nip any budding romance in the bud before it was too late. Once Song Jiawen fell into it, not only would she harm herself, but she would also harm Yu Heng.

“Song Jiawen…”

“Teacher Luo, I think you’ve misunderstood.”

Oh? Is she denying it?

Luo Xiao stopped walking and turned to look at her.

Song Jiawen scratched her head, her usually cool face showing a trace of embarrassment for the first time, “How should I say this? I’ll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret, okay?”

A secret?

Luo Xiao did not understand but still nodded her head.

Song Jiawen took a deep breath, as if mustering all her courage before saying, “Professor Yu he… he actually likes my brother. It’s my brother who asked him to look after me at school.”

He likes himself, he asked himself, no problem!

“Teacher Luo, you know that Professor Yu grew up abroad and is quite open-minded. My brother is also extremely handsome… Teacher Luo, you wouldn’t look down on Professor Yu because of this, would you? And my brother…”

Luo Xiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turning pale in an instant. She could no longer hear what Song Jiawen was saying afterward, her mind echoing, “Yu Heng is GAY, Yu Heng is GAY”…

Ah ah ah ah…

Why has it come to this?

Why do attractive men have to like other men?

Even if Song Jiawen was slow to catch on, at this point, she vaguely understood looking at Luo Xiao’s reaction.

She stepped back, thinking that if her brother ended up single, it definitely wouldn’t be her fault. It was his lack of charm; if he were charming enough, some girl would manage to straighten him out.

Right, that’s how Zhu Jin’s novels about gay relationships wrote it.

With that thought, Song Jiawen turned and ran away without any guilt.

“Xiaosi…”

Just as she turned the corner to head toward the nearby Fifth Canteen, she saw Yu Heng strolling over with his hands in his pockets.

Song Jiawen turned her head and gave her brother a meaningful glance, her legs not stopping as she quickly walked away.

“This girl, there’s no one else, not even a hello.”

Though he said so, he didn’t mind his sister’s behavior.

When he was about to reach the canteen after the turn, he found it strange to see Teacher Luo from the physics department standing dazed by the roadside.

Yu Heng politely greeted her, “Teacher Luo, have you eaten?”

Luo Xiao finally snapped out of her shock, but upon turning and seeing Yu Heng, she couldn’t help but let out a cry of “Ah,” followed by reflexively turning and walking away.
