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

"she……"

She said she needed to talk to me about something, but I told her I was at work.

I glanced at the alarm clock on the wall; it was only five minutes before my college student career planning guidance class. I had to rush to the teaching building to teach Lu Xiaojun and her fellow third-year students.

"It's time for your career planning class, let's go quickly."

"Wait, wait a minute..."

I turned around and looked at Lu Xiaojun with a puzzled expression. She stammered, "My face is all red right now, teacher, you can go ahead..."

If I were to enter the classroom with a blushing Lu Xiaojun, it's hard to guarantee that the students, who are currently in heat, wouldn't have impure thoughts, even though something did actually happen...

I think Lu Xiaojun's words make sense, so I went to the teaching building first.

Chapter 3, page 124: I think I really do have a younger sister.

When I entered the classroom, the previously noisy room immediately fell silent. My first instinct was to look for Bi Antong's seat. I searched from the left to the middle and then to the right, finally finding her in the corner of the second-to-last row on the right. How much does she dislike my class to sit in such a remote spot? She always sits in the middle or front row during our major courses. Don't I have any dignity left...?

She was wearing headphones and writing something, completely ignoring the teacher who had already arrived in the classroom.

"Put down what you're doing and listen carefully. This is related to your future employment and development. I can't say you'll get a lot of inspiration, but at least you'll learn something useful."

I actually emphasized a rule requiring them not to play on their phones and to listen attentively to the only two career planning guidance classes this semester. Whether it was out of respect for me as their counselor or because they realized it was related to their future livelihood, most students straightened their posture and started to listen attentively. However, there were still some troublemakers!

"The girl in the white dress in the corner of the second-to-last row on the right, please put your headphones away and pay attention in class."

Bi Antong looked at me reproachfully, her face clearly saying, "You have such an air of authority!" But since all the classmates in the classroom were looking at her with gossip, she had no choice but to look away and reluctantly take off her headphones to listen to the lesson.

That's right! At school, I'm your teacher, so you have to listen to me; at home, I'm your dad, so you still have to listen to me. /doge emoji/

Next came the symbolic roll call, and of course, I had one person I paid special attention to.

"Xu Lehan!"

"..."

"Is Xu Lehan not here?"

Looks like she skipped class again. I wrote a note next to her name on the attendance sheet...

"exist!"

I had just started writing when Xu Lehan appeared at the classroom door, giving me a polite smile!

"Then you're considered late."

"No, I actually went to the restroom," Xu Lehan explained.

Unable to verify, I could only grit my teeth and let her return to her seat.

"Thank you, teacher~"

I'll catch that girl red-handed one day!

"Oh right, teacher, our class monitor, Lu Xiaojun, is also late," Xu Lehan suddenly said, turning around.

Of course I know Lu Xiaojun is late, because she might have just left the office. I couldn't possibly mark her late. But how did Xu Lehan find out?

"You don't need to tell me, just go back to your seat."

In front of everyone, Xu Lehan found fault with me, saying, "Then why didn't the teacher record her as late?"

"I understand. Now go back and sit down!"

"Ookoo~" Seeing that I was about to get angry, Xu Lehan returned to her seat in a huff.

I was about to take out my USB drive to copy the PPT materials when I realized I hadn't brought it with me at all. I was so busy being affectionate with Lu Xiaojun in the office that I forgot about the important matter.

"Xu Lehan, could you please go to the office and get the USB drive for me? It's on the computer screen on the desk."

Making her run errands is a form of punishment for the trouble she caused me earlier.

But there was no response for a long time, so I looked at the spot where Xu Lehan had just sat down and saw that she had fallen asleep on the table. Luckily, the female classmate next to her gently nudged her shoulder and she finally looked up with a blank expression.

So I repeated what I had said to her again.

"Huh? My dream isn't over yet..."

The classroom erupted in laughter, while I felt my authority as a teacher had been violated.

"Save your daydreams for tonight, go get them now."

Xu Lehan stood up resignedly, about to be exposed to the scorching sun outside.

After class, the morning classes ended and it was lunch break time. Lu Xiaojun came to the podium and asked me if I wanted to go to lunch together. I told her I had something to do. Lu Xiaojun nodded and left the classroom with her roommate, but she didn't invite Bi Antong. However, Bi Antong was used to eating alone in the cafeteria.

I stayed in the classroom and stared in one direction until almost all the students had left before I walked in that direction.

"Wake up, get out of class is over."

I nudged Xu Lehan, who was still fast asleep at her desk after class. She was half-asleep with her face pressed against the desk, and she was even smiling slightly, looking like a silly goose...

Xu Lehan woke up sleepily and looked at me with a puzzled expression, asking, "Is there something you need, teacher?"

At this moment, Xu Lehan's face, which had just been resting on the table, was flushed red, making her look quite comical. It was a real pity that such a beautiful young girl was so unreliable.

"Let's go get lunch together."

Xu Lehan opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Are you trying to hit on me?!"

"Screw you! I just wanted to give you a talking-to!"

"Gu..."

She made strange noises.

"Don't feel wronged. If your parents don't take care of you, and I, as your counselor, don't either, you might not be able to graduate. You'll have to postpone it for at least a year. Don't take this lightly; it could even be postponed for two years."

"What was the longest extension a student had ever extended before?" she asked.

I thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems like I completed my undergraduate studies all over again..."

Xu Lehan chuckled foolishly, saying nonchalantly, "Then it's no big deal if I postpone it for two years, it's normal~"

I grabbed her by the neck and walked her out of the classroom.

"Stop babbling at me!"

Aside from the teaching building, Xu Lehan suddenly stopped, her arms outstretched in the blazing sun.

What confusing behavior are you engaging in?

"I am absorbing sunlight."

"..."

It seems that making her go all the way to the office to get the USB drive wasn't enough.

"Stop dawdling."

"Teacher, you go ahead, I can absorb sunlight to replenish my energy, I don't need to eat lunch~"

"Idiot..."

I knew she was trying to get rid of me and give her a pep talk, so I slapped her outstretched hand down and, ignoring her struggles, pushed her toward the teachers' cafeteria.

I got two meals and sat down. I handed one of them to Xu Lehan, and she stared intently at me.

"Why are you staring at me... Fine, I don't care why you're staring at me anymore, let's get straight to the point. How did you fall behind in your studies? If you're not dating, then you must be staying in your dorm playing games and watching dramas; huh? Don't tell me you're not smart enough to fail your courses..."

"Yours looks tastier..."

I switched the plates in a second to satisfy her, and said, "Stop talking nonsense and answer me."

But Xu Lehan picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth without intending to answer me. I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled the meat out of her mouth along with the chopsticks.

"If you're not going to tell me, then don't eat."

Xu Lehan said aggrievedly, "You're so violent... Coach Wang from the previous year wasn't like this at all."

"So if he can't handle it, I will."

Xu Lehan touched the spot where I had grabbed her so tightly, and pouted, saying, "You hurt me..."

I slapped my forehead in deep sorrow.

"But if you eat quietly and don't talk to me, it might not hurt anymore..." Xu Lehan looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"Okay, let's eat first."

"Mmm~"

After a while, I couldn't hold back anymore. Maybe I was being too dutiful. I asked, "Just tell me what you've been busy with. If it makes sense, I'll agree to help you avoid a delayed graduation."

"Ah! It's relapsed again!"

"Relapse my ass!"

I really wanted to shut her up, but if I did, where would she find the words to answer my questions?

Xu Lehan said weakly, "Why do you like my sister so much... But it's a pity. Although I once overheard my parents talking about how I do have a sister, I've never met her in all my years. Could she be my father's illegitimate daughter?"

Chapter 4, page 125. Idiot

Is it possible that you are the illegitimate child?

"Please stop with all that nonsense, I need to take a nap. Can you please answer my question properly, Ms. Xu Lehan?"

Xu Lehan stretched out a hand and waved it, saying with dissatisfaction, "I don't like the title 'Miss' because it has a bad connotation..."

"You've gone too far! I've put up with you for far too long!"

I slammed my fist on the table, ready to punish this guy on the spot, but then I noticed that all the teachers around me were looking over, so I had no choice but to swallow my anger and sit down again.
