She had just picked up her bag when someone with sharp eyes said, “Everyone, I have something to do. I’ll get going.”

Then, he chased after her.

He left a group of resentful girls behind.

Yi Chao walked to a secluded place and looked around. She was so fast that he couldn’t even spot her anymore.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind him. Yi Chao grabbed it, and the two of them hid in the gap. Their eyes met, and their bodies were pressed against each other.

It was not hot, but in just a short while, both of them could not help but sweat a little.

“Checking on the masked man?”

Yi Juncheng caressed Sheng Yang’s face. “My Yangyang is so smart.”

“Then how did you end up in my class?”

Yi Juncheng smiled. “Because your new teacher happens to be Academician Zhao.”

Sheng Yang frowned. “Is the masked man related to Academician Zhao?”

“Somewhat.”

“Then promise me you won’t touch Academician Zhao.”

......

Yi Juncheng was a decisive person. Once his own interests were violated, he was able to put justice before family.

Previously, those relatives from his collateral family had only treated him extremely well when he was young. However, he could not be bothered to investigate if they were pretending to be polite or if they were sincere.

Therefore, he did not have many relationships with others and lived an easy life. He always felt that the emotions in the world were too overwhelming. He would definitely be tired of dealing with them.

But now, he felt as though he had been slapped in the face.

He hugged Sheng Yang and no longer cared about the relationship between Academician Zhao and the masked man. Even if Yangyang pleaded for mercy for the masked man, he would agree without hesitation.

Yangyang was his special person now. He was full of favoritism for her.

He couldn’t bear to make her unhappy. Not to mention her being unhappy, he wouldn’t even allow a frown to appear on her face.

In Academician Zhao’s office, she was sitting down and drinking nourishing tea.

Though she was an unmarried woman, she had taken good care of herself. She only indulged in academics every day, and her life was extremely simple. Therefore, she showed a youthfulness that did not match her age.

At this moment, someone rushed in and said eagerly, “Academician Zhao, why didn’t you tell me that you were going to be a professor in Sheng Yang’s class?”

Zhao Caihua’s eyes were clear. She smiled at Jin Lu and retorted, “So what if I had told you?”

“I…” Jin Lu hesitated for a moment and knew that he had been rash. Then, he said slowly, “I’m completely capable of being your teaching assistant.”

The words came out weakly.

Professor Zhang, who previously taught clinical medicine, fell sick. Jin Lu had also taken his class several times in the past.

He had wanted to take over the role. Now that Academician Zhao was taking over Sheng Yang’s class, his wish could be fulfilled.

Academician Zhao stood up and patted Jin Lu on the shoulder. “Jin Lu, if you’re like this, what’s the difference between you and Sinuo previously? What’s yours will eventually be yours; what’s not yours will never be yours. Sinuo has already thought things through, so when will you?”

“No,” Jin Lu said stubbornly. “I’m your disciple. I should be the teaching assistant. Who’s that Yi Chao? He doesn’t know anything.”

“Jin Lu, you weren’t like this in the past. You had a gentle personality.”

Jin Lu was silent. Then he looked up at Academician Zhao as if he had figured it out. “Academician Zhao, I understand.”

Zhao Caihua watched him leave and shook her head helplessly. If only one could be free from relationships so easily.

She had struggled for half her life and had yet to struggle out of it.

Zhao Caihua unlocked the door with a key and slowly opened the drawer. There was a photo inside.
