Chapter 74: Lin Laoshi's Worries

  Su Lin sat in his own seat, feeling a bit helpless and inexplicable, thinking: "What's wrong with Qin Yanran? Why did she suddenly get angry? Could it be because of those girls who sent her love letters?"

  Back to the cold and icy Qin Yanran, Su Lin didn't know what he did wrong either. He absolutely couldn't have imagined that his intimate moment with Zhu Jiejie at the hospital yesterday was seen by Qin Yanran.

  Qin Yanran, who pretended to be indifferent, was also uncomfortable. She was thinking of Su Lin in her heart and eagerly wanted to see him, but she had to pretend to be apathetic. Especially when Su Lin returned the notebook, Qin Yanran really wanted to throw a tantrum and loudly ask Su Lin who the woman was that he hugged and kissed in the hospital room yesterday.

  However, Qin Yanran did not do so, questioning Su Lin with what kind of stance and attitude? What is she to Su Lin herself? Obviously, she rejected Su Lin's confession, that damned pride! How could Qin Yanran possibly save face by questioning Su Lin? So, in the end, Qin Yanran still chose to remain indifferent.

  Besides, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Qin Yanran cannot be distracted, and she also cannot let Su Lin be distracted. Perhaps, Qin Yanran thought, it might be better for both parties to just go on like this.

  What is love? What is affection? What can a young age understand? Qin Yanran didn't believe that there was such great and romantic love in the world, like her current feelings for Su Lin, it's just a temporary impulse.

  "I don't really like Su Lin."

  Qin Yanran's heart was always persuading herself that this kind of sentiment, which only little girls would have, how could it possibly appear on her own body? Qin Yanran had always thought of herself as more mature and sensible than girls of the same age, being very open-minded about many things, and even able to consider more problems from an adult's perspective.

  In her opinion, this kind of puppy love among junior and senior high school students is a complete waste of time, youth, and emotions - an immature behavior. Every time Qin Yanran sees couples holding hands on campus, she can't help but think: what's the point of all this? Is there any outcome? It's just a momentary impulse and ignorance of youth, which is essentially something without a future!

  But now, Qin Yanran suddenly found that she couldn't convince herself either. Even if she tried to persuade herself countless times in her heart, she still couldn't get rid of Su Lin's shadow from the depths of her heart.

  "Why is it like this? Why have I become just like those little girls?"

  Although she didn't want to admit it, Qin Yanran actually knew that she had really fallen for Su Lin. Maybe it was indeed the kind of emotion she had always despised, one without a future, but she couldn't shake off this feeling, missing someone, liking someone, wanting to see him every moment.

  "I can't do this, my mind is filled with Su Lin, it's all about him and that woman embracing. Even if I have fallen for Su Lin, this feeling, I must bury it deep down, bury it..."

  In her heart, she was struggling in agony, but on the surface, Qin Yanran still had an air of being nonchalant, reading books, reviewing, and preparing for the final sprint of the college entrance examination. To others, there was not a hint of abnormality.

  Only Su Lin felt Qin Yanran's change, especially her attitude towards him. The whole afternoon, Su Lin didn't see Qin Yanran turn around to look at him again, let alone smile at him.

  "What's going on? Are you saying that a woman can change her mind faster than turning a page?"

  The depression in Su Lin's heart was probably only understood by his deskmate Li Hao.

  As a good brother, Li Hao put one hand on Su Lin's shoulder and patted it, helping to dispel his doubts.

  "Don't worry, Linzi! With my many years of experience. The school flower is intentionally cold-shouldering you. Isn't there a plan in the Thirty-Six Stratagems called 'to capture by releasing'? Think about it, Qin Yiran saw so many young girls chasing after you and writing love letters to you, she must be unhappy. At this time, she can't possibly learn from those young girls and write love letters to confess her feelings... So Qin Yiran chose to be cold and icy towards you... This way, you'll be worried and distracted, thinking wildly and excessively, it's perfect..."

  "Alright! Háo Zi, what's with this mess? And you're relying on your years of experience?! Up until now, I haven't seen you show interest in any girl, I'm even starting to suspect if there's something wrong with your sexual orientation."

  Su Lin made a helpless gesture. The college entrance exam was just around the corner, and there were only a few days left to see Qin Yanran in class. It was uncertain whether they could meet again after that. Was it really what Qin Yanran wanted, to make Su Lin so anxious and worried? This was too cruel, wasn't it?

  "Your sexual orientation is the problem! Lin Zi, my vision is high, you know! The school flower had barely entered my eyes, but unfortunately, you're my brother. You've got a crush on her, and I couldn't possibly steal your love, right? So I'll let it go. My cousins told me that finding a girlfriend should wait until college, because now the high school girls don't know how to dress up yet. But once they get to college, they're all dressed up and looking stunning, as beautiful as can be..."

  As soon as this aspect of things is mentioned, Li Hao has a lot to say and Su Lin listens patiently to his enthusiastic talk.

  This afternoon's class has only one more lesson left, and the time spent in school is also getting shorter and shorter. There are too many people and things worth remembering in Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, and everyone is gradually drifting apart.

  The Li Hao in front of him, from childhood to adulthood, iron brothers, although they have always been hurting each other, but at critical moments, they can fight for each other's lives. The college entrance examination is about to take place, and after the exam, everyone will go their separate ways. Su Lin doesn't know if he can still be in the same city as Li Hao.

  His own college entrance examination was absolutely no problem, Su Lin also thought, why not use his super ability to help Li Hao a little bit and make his college entrance examination results better?

  It's just that the difficulty of operation is a bit big, and Su Lin's remaining available time is not particularly much, 560 seconds. Of course, there will be an additional 60 seconds every day, and if something romantic happens with a woman, it will also increase by quite a lot each time.

  As for the upper limit of this time increase, Su Lin has been exploring, seemingly related to relationships with different women. The more familiar, the closer, and the more emotional the relationship is, the more ambiguous and embarrassing the actions are, the more time increases and the faster it grows.

  "It seems that in the future, I'll have to get closer to Sister Zhu to gain a bit more usable time. Ah! Yesterday was really a pity, it was just one step short of success, but Aunt Liang woke up, who knows if she had been awake all along and deliberately reminded us at that moment..."

  Recalling the ambiguousness with Ye Xingzhu in the hospital yesterday, Su Lin's heart was filled with excitement and passion. Following the trend of yesterday, it seemed that Sister Zhu had completely accepted his attitude. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities to be alone with Sister Zhu in the future, now that the ice had been broken.

  Su Lin felt that he was being a bit greedy, and didn't know how many women his heart could hold, but it couldn't be denied that he cared about all of them.

  Apart from Ye Xingzhu, there's also Qin Yanran, and then there's that fierce policewoman Han Xiaoxiao, whom Su Lin had deeply remembered since who-knows-when, and of course, their class teacher Lin Qingxue.

  Just this afternoon, Su Lin had just been spoken to by Lin Qingxue, but that didn't affect Su Lin's feelings towards Lin Qingxue. Especially when he thought of the exciting scenes from that night at Lin Qingxue's house, it made Su Lin even more excited.

  "Ah... what a pity that Lin teacher was drugged that day and wasn't in her right mind. If it were now, I'm afraid... I wouldn't have had any chance at all... But unexpectedly, Lin teacher is still so innocent. Isn't it said that almost all male and female university students will have boyfriends or girlfriends? Especially with Lin teacher being so beautiful, there must be many excellent boys pursuing her, but unexpectedly, Lin teacher is completely clueless about those things..."

  Su Lin's thoughts are a bit disorganized now, and when she thinks about it, she feels dazed.

  Ding ding ding......

  The last class of the afternoon rang, which happened to be Lin Qingxue's English class. As soon as Su Lin saw Lin Qingxue walking in with her high heels, he immediately perked up.

  "Class is starting!"

  Lin Qingxue's stern voice made Class Monitor Qin Yanran immediately shout "Attention!" Su Lin and the other classmates stood up together, shouting "Good morning, teacher!"

  "Hello, classmates!"

  Formally starting class, Lin Qingxue slightly bowed and began to seriously explain the key points of high school English exams.

  Su Lin's gaze, as usual, was still fixed on Lin Qingxue, and with the recall of that night's memories, it made Su Lin think wildly. He remembered that night, Teacher Lin, who was burning with desire, finally used her hands to solve the problem under his guidance!

  Just thinking about Lin Qingxue's slightly trembling voice at the time, Su Lin himself also started to shiver a bit, it was really too enchanting.

  From the bottom up, black high heels, flesh-colored stockings tightly wrapped around her legs, a mini leather skirt above the knee, Su Lin remembered that day, she was on Teacher Lin's bed, and with a fierce tug, she pulled down Lin Qingxue's stockings and skirt.

  Lin Qingxue didn't know that Su Lin was secretly fantasizing about her at this time. With a professional smile, she explained the knowledge points, seeing Su Lin's eyes almost motionless staring at herself, thinking that Su Lin was listening attentively to the lesson, and even smiled and nodded towards Su Lin, continuing to explain the key points.

  Just then, Lin Qingxue's phone in her bag rang urgently.

  Out of a sense of responsibility as a teacher, Lin Qingxue didn't answer the phone immediately, but instead gently pressed the button to hang up. However, in just a few seconds, the phone rang again. Lin Qingxue had no choice but to pick it up and take a look, only to find that it was her own mother calling, and with such urgency - could something have happened?

  She came to school for class, leaving her mother alone at home. Did something really happen? Lin Qingxue could only apologize to her classmates and took the phone to answer it in the corridor outside.

  Su Lin, who had been staring at Lin Qingxue in the classroom, saw Lin Qingxue go out to the corridor to answer a phone call and still couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Qingxue outside the corridor. However, as she looked, Su Lin felt something was off.

  Because Lin Qingxue, who answered the phone at this time, was not in a good mood, frowning and seemingly patiently explaining something to the other end of the phone. After speaking for a few minutes, Lin Qingxue might have been really annoyed, and impatiently hung up the phone with a "pa" sound, then looked at a face and returned to the classroom.

  "Teacher Lin, what's wrong? Did you run into some annoying trouble?"

  Looking at Lin Qingxue's bitter face, Su Lin's heart was also uncomfortable, and he worriedly guessed.
