The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Seeing that I had hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road, Ye Zhi asked worriedly, "What urgent matter has happened?"

"Ye Zi, don't worry, I'll contact you later. You should go to the company first."

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Ye Zhi was still worried.

"Okay, no need. You go ahead. And remember to feed Pineapple cat food tonight, and give it extra dried fish to comfort it."

With only an hour and a half left before takeoff, I didn't have time to finish talking to Ye Zhi. After waving goodbye to her, I immediately flagged down a passing taxi and asked the driver to take me to the airport that Xin Ning had mentioned.

I know I'll definitely be at this anime convention for a day or two, but I don't even have time to pack my luggage. Just my ID card and phone are enough. As long as I can make it to the convention with Lu Xiaojun, that's fine.

So, while in the taxi, I quickly checked flights from Shanghai to Guangzhou. But to my dismay, the 10 o'clock flight that Lu Xiaojun was taking was sold out. There were no economy or business class tickets left. Now I was really... like a cow looking for Red Bull, desperate!

I was anxious to call Lu Xiaojun, but I stopped just before my fingers touched her. I knew Lu Xiaojun definitely didn't want to see me right now. Otherwise, she would have invited me to the comic convention before. She still didn't know how to face me, so she didn't tell me, let alone invite me.

If I contact her first, it will reveal that Xin Ning is communicating with me. She will then go directly through the check-in and waiting area, get off the plane in Guangzhou, find a hotel, and not tell Xin Ning where she is staying. In that case, I will have no way of knowing where Xiao Jun is staying. How am I supposed to find her in the vast crowd at the anime convention?

As for contacting Lu Xiaojun's parents, it's useless. Lu Chaoxiong might even ask me if I had a fight with his daughter. Otherwise, why didn't Xiaojun, who usually loves to stick to me, invite me to the comic convention?

No matter what, I can't contact Lu Xiaojun or let her know I'm going to see her. So I booked the flight with the earliest available time, which is the 11:00 AM flight. Even if I buy a business class ticket, I can still enter the VIP lounge and find Lu Xiaojun, but that doesn't change the fact that she will board before me. If she arrives in Guangzhou before me and doesn't tell me the hotel location, I still won't be able to find her.

So I can only ask Xin Ning to find out the location of Lu Xiaojun's hotel after I get to Guangzhou, and then I'll go find her.

What about recording the lessons these past two days?

Is Lu Xiaojun important?

……

When the plane landed, it was already 13:45. Lu Xiaojun must have already found a hotel and checked in. I turned off airplane mode on my phone and immediately checked the messages Xin Ning had sent. I don't know what clever trick she used, but she managed to get Lu Xiaojun's detailed hotel address, including the room number.

"Xin Ning, are you sure Xiao Jun isn't suspicious?" I was worried that Lu Xiao Jun had changed hotels because she was suspicious.

"Absolutely not, brother. Xiaojun said she hadn't had lunch yet, so I offered to order her lunch delivery so she could focus on packing. That's how I got Xiaojun's exact location... The rest is up to you, brother. This is all I can do for you. You have to cherish this opportunity. Remember, you have to be thick-skinned. Xiaojun is easily swayed by that. Besides, she genuinely likes you, she just can't handle that kind of thing. So, brother, you have to coax Xiaojun a bit."

"Mmm, thank you, Xin Ning."

"Hehe, that's only right. Brother's happiness is Xin Ning's happiness~"

I replied with relief, "Xin Ning is such a good girl. I'll take good care of you when we get back."

"Okay, Xin Ning is waiting."

About half an hour later, I arrived at the hotel where Lu Xiaojun was staying. The hotel was only two kilometers away from the anime convention venue, which was quite close.

I also booked a room before I could go upstairs. While riding the elevator, I was thinking about what to say when I saw Lu Xiaojun, but it was clear that no matter what I said, I absolutely could not mention that incident that caused the rift between us.

Soon I arrived at the door of Lu Xiaojun's room. I stared at the door number for a while without knocking. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the lock opening. I quickly retreated to the corner and hid. Soon, a petite figure appeared in front of me. Perhaps because it was still quite hot in Guangzhou in December, she was wearing a thin pink sundress, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs. Her hair was tied in lively and cute pigtails. Although I could only see her back, it was undoubtedly the sweet and adorable Lu Xiaojun.

She was walking away from me with her back to me, seemingly heading downstairs. I stealthily followed her, but Lu Xiaojun seemed distracted and didn't even realize I was following her...

I followed Lu Xiaojun until she finally realized something was wrong. She ran off without looking back, but I quickly reached out and pulled her into my arms.

Startled, Lu Xiaojun gasped and cried out, "Who!? Help..."

“It’s me, Xiaojun.”

Lu Xiaojun, who was interrupted by me and cried out "Help!", was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized who the voice belonged to.

"Teacher?"

I gently turned her body around, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw my face.

"Xiao Jun, you're too careless. You need to protect yourself when you're out and about, especially a cute girl like you. You need to be extra careful. Look, I've been following you for so long and you didn't react at all. By the time you realized what was happening, I had already caught you."

But after I finished speaking, Lu Xiaojun suddenly pried my hands off, turned around and ran away with a slightly flushed face. I strode over and pulled her into my arms again. Lu Xiaojun struggled to run away, but she was too weak...

Finally, she patted my hand and pleaded urgently, "Teacher... please let go of Xiaojun..."

"Is something urgent?"

Honest Lu Xiaojun subconsciously shook her head, but then nodded. She jumped up, trying to get out of my arms, then squatted down, trying to squeeze out. Finally, she took a step back and came closer to my arms, making a small acceleration and sprinting towards my arms, but all to no avail. I watched her struggle helplessly like a small animal captured and played with by humans. I was both charmed by her cuteness and amused.

"Teacher, please let go of Xiaojun..." Lu Xiaojun still didn't know how to face me.

"Can't I even hug her?" I hugged her a little tighter.

"Okay... but Xiaojun's stomach hurts a little because of what you did..."

So I immediately let go of her hand, but in that instant, Lu Xiaojun took off like a little deer. But perhaps she was too anxious, and she tripped over her own feet and fell forward. I caught her quickly and was about to tell her to be careful when she broke free again and ran away. I grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall, looking down at her in a wall-pinning position.

"Xiao Jun, you've learned to avoid me now, haven't you?"

Lu Xiaojun rubbed her dress with both hands, lowered her head guiltily, and dared not look me in the eye. Her fair face was already flushed. She was obviously shy because people passing by in the corridor were staring at the two of us.

"No, no..."

"Xiao Jun, you're lying! You clearly ran away three times just now... Have you started lying to your teacher after all this time?"

"Lu Xiaojun quickly looked up at me and said anxiously, "No, no, Xiaojun wouldn't lie to the teacher, Xiaojun just... just..."

However, before I could hear anything else, Lu Xiaojun pushed my chest with her hand.

"Teacher, please don't be so fierce, Xiaojun is a little scared..." Lu Xiaojun said softly.

But where did I go wrong?

Then I realized that I had acted a little too eager when I saw Lu Xiaojun again.

My actions—grabbing her directly and pinning her against the wall—along with my much taller stature, did indeed make Lu Xiaojun feel a little scared and uneasy.

"Then Xiaojun, you must promise your teacher you won't run away again, or I'll drag you back to your room and give you a good talking-to."

Lu Xiaojun seemed to misunderstand my verbal reprimand, blushed, and finally nodded in submission.

I gradually let go of her, and Lu Xiaojun did stop running away. Under my constant gaze, Lu Xiaojun didn't dare to raise her head. She must have known I was watching her, so she nervously and instinctively reached out to adjust the position of her dress straps to cover up her embarrassment. When I hugged her, I messed it up, causing her bra straps to be misaligned and exposed instead of being completely covered by the dress straps.

Lu Xiaojun is a very conscious person of her appearance. While others might not feel obligated to cover their bra straps when wearing a sundress, Lu Xiaojun insists on covering them completely with the straps of her sundress so that not a single bit is visible before she feels at ease.

Lu Xiaojun seemed to realize I had seen her, and shyly turned her back to me, but since it was a spaghetti strap dress, some of her back would still be showing...

Soon, two more girls came towards us. Lu Xiaojun turned around and hid in my arms to continue adjusting her belt.

In the end, it still cherishes me.

After adjusting, Lu Xiaojun lowered her head, took a step back, and kept a distance from me, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I smiled slightly and said, "You haven't had lunch since you got off the plane, have you? I haven't either. Let's go eat together."

Xin Ning didn't order food for her.

Lu Xiaojun seemed hesitant and didn't respond for a long time. I could tell she was still embarrassed in front of me. Actually, I was too, after all, I had asked her about that kind of thing and been rejected... But if we were both embarrassed, then we could never make any progress in this lifetime. Xiaojun is naturally shy, and I'm a boy, so I had to be the one to take the initiative.

I touched her high pigtails, then put my arm around her shoulder and pushed her forward, saying, "Come on, if we don't eat soon, Xiaojun, you'll be starving and won't have any strength left."

"So the teacher was just bullying me because I'm not as strong as you..." Lu Xiaojun started to pout and complain.

"I wasn't bullying you, it's just that I haven't seen you in so long and I couldn't help but want to... hug you."

Lu Xiaojun blushed again and couldn't speak. I kept putting my arm around her round, fragrant shoulder and walked towards the hotel restaurant. Lu Xiaojun didn't take the initiative to come closer to me like before...

……

During the meal, I sat opposite Lu Xiaojun. I ate very quickly, and then spent the rest of the time watching Lu Xiaojun eat in small bites. She was probably embarrassed by my staring, because even she, who usually eats elegantly, accidentally got some food on the corner of her mouth. I handed her a tissue.

"Thank you, teacher..." Lu Xiaojun shyly accepted the tissue.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, I asked, "Xiao Jun, did you come alone? Where's your partner, Mu Mu?"

"Mu Mu has something to do today, she'll come tomorrow..."

Lu Xiaojun silently nibbled on her snacks for a while longer, then finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is the teacher here...?"

"Because I came here specifically to see you," I said with a smile.

As expected, Lu Xiaojun couldn't stand such a direct approach and lowered her head even further.

"But how did you know I was here, and how do you know my room number...?"

After a pause, she belatedly said, "It must be Xin Ning. She betrayed me. No wonder she said she would help me order takeout... She's so disloyal!"

I quickly said, "Don't blame Xin Ning, it was actually me who made her do it..."

"Isn't the teacher going to record the lesson?"

“Recording lessons is nothing compared to the importance of our small county.”

Lu Xiaojun remained silent, her face still flushed.

I moved closer to Lu Xiaojun, then got up and changed seats to sit next to her. I gently stroked her hair. Lu Xiaojun glanced at me out of the corner of her eye but didn't dare to say anything, silently eating her lunch to replenish her energy, probably waiting until she had enough strength to get away.

"Teacher, Xiaojun has finished eating and will go back first..." Lu Xiaojun said as she stood up.

"Okay, let's go back together then," I said, standing up as well.

Lu Xiaojun stammered, "I... I mean I went back to my hotel room."

"I know you're going back to your room."

Lu Xiaojun bit her lip, looking at a loss, clearly not wanting me to go to her room.

"Um...did the teacher also book a room at this hotel?"

I nodded.
