Chapter 353: Chapter 353: You’re Here to See Professor Han as Well, Aren’t You?
Liang Qing’s eyes widened, “That uncle is your father?! So you do have a father.”
Of course he had a father! Chi Jingchen’s chest swelled with pride. He ignored Liang Qing, and with a quick pace, he ran towards Chi Enen and threw himself into her arms.
“Woman.”
After he called out to Chi Enen, he turned his face and looked deeply at Li Beijue, then shyly turned his head away.
Chi Enen had hoped that he would call Li Beijue “father,” but when he fell silent, she felt a faint sense of disappointment.
Li Beijue, on the other hand, didn’t show any particular reaction. He bent down to pick up the little guy and asked him, “Did you behave today?”
“…No.” Fighting with Han Xiaoru doesn’t count as causing trouble, right?
“Right,” he added, “You don’t have to be afraid of causing trouble when I’m here.”
Chi Enen, “…” Is that how one should teach a child, telling them not to be afraid of causing trouble…
However, seeing the harmony between the father and son, her heart felt as though it was filled once more.
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
“Okay.”

The next day, after work.
Chi Enen texted Li Beijue before heading to the University of Science and Technology.
The University of Science and Technology in Capital City is a well-regarded university, known for its beautiful campus. It was the season where the grass grew tall and orioles flew high; all types of flowers and plants in the school were competing to bloom, while young men on the field were sweating it out, and groups of girls stood by, cheering them on.
Following the address given by Han Qifeng, she found the classroom.
The amphitheater that could seat two hundred people was packed, and she barely managed to find a seat in the corner. A girl next to her leaned in and asked, “Senior sister, you’re a junior, right? Which department are you from?”
“I’m not, I…” Chi Enen was still wearing the blouse dress Li Beijue bought for her the day before. For convenience, she had tied her hair into a high ponytail, without makeup. She was indistinguishable from a university student and didn’t look like she had a 5-year-old child at all.
Before she could finish her sentence, the girl cut her off with a ‘I know, I understand’ expression, “Senior sister, don’t be shy about admitting it. You’re here to see Professor Han, aren’t you?”
Professor Han, which Professor Han?
Seeing Chi Enen’s confused face, the girl, eager to prove she was one of them, proactively sought to befriend her, “Don’t worry, we are all here for Professor Han.”
“All four of us from our dorm skipped the old witch’s lecture from the School of Law and Politics. We just had dinner in the cafeteria, and people already took the front seats. Damn it, those girls from the Department of Performing Arts are so lucky, with such few classes, and their department is full of handsome guys. They even came to snatch Professor Han from us!”
“By the way, senior sister, which department are you from? We are freshmen from the School of Law and Politics.”
Facing the enthusiastic outstretched small hand of the young girl, Chi Enen felt awkward and, shaking her hand, said, “I’m an adult education student here for a class.”
“You’re an adult education student?!” The girl seemed disbelieving, her round eyes widening.
No wonder she was skeptical. Most of the adult education students who came to class today were in their thirties – if not bearded uncles, then women clerks with glasses. Compared with Chi Enen, who looked pure and pretty, with a face full of collagen, they were completely different.
“Yeah.”
The young girl couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sister, you really take good care of yourself…”
She didn’t even have time to think about skin care secrets; in a flash, she turned her head, looking towards the podium position. Like a giraffe in the zoo, she wished she could stretch her neck out and push her face to the front…
Chi Enen also looked towards the podium.
She saw Han Qifeng walking in dressed in casual clothes. His blue blouse perfectly showcased his gentle temperament, and it was unclear whether this was for the sake of lecturing. For the first time, he had replaced his usual gold-rimmed glasses with contact lenses. His handsome face, combining elegance with comeliness, was flawless!
Especially his smile at the corner of his mouth, it had a fatal attraction for the young ladies!
Why was Han Qifeng here?! Wasn’t he only helping a friend the other day?
As Chi Enen recalled further, she remembered that the staff member called Xiao Feng had referred to Han Qifeng as Professor Han.
Besides working at the hospital as a doctor, does he also serve as a part-time professor at the university?
However, why would a professor come to teach adult education students?
“It’s really Professor Han who has come.” The maiden sitting next to Chi Enen was so excited she was almost pounding the table incessantly, muttering, “He’s looking over here, looking over here… Emma. He must be looking at me… I wonder if my face looks fat, if only I knew, I would’ve eaten two less meat buns tonight…”
“Pfft.” Chi Enen heard her mumbling and couldn’t help but laugh.
The maiden turned her head, her sparkling big eyes not yet realizing how cute her constant mumbling sounded, and asked Chi Enen nervously, “Older sister, my foundation isn’t too thick, is it? Does it look natural?”
“You can’t tell you’re wearing foundation.”
She was still not reassured, very nervous, “And my lipstick? It’s not smeared, is it? Isn’t the color too red?”
Chi Enen held back a laugh, “It’s not.”
She finally relaxed, her cheeks turning a rosy red, she clenched her fists and, unable to contain her excitement, returned her gaze to the podium, continuing to mutter, “I must let the professor see my 45-degree angle, 45 degrees produces beauty, I need to stay calm. Lin Rusi, go for it! Chest out, stomach in, keep smiling!”
Chi Enen smiled wryly, pulling out the notebook and water-based pen she had bought from a roadside stationery store from her bag.
Han Qifeng’s eyes swept across the packed lecture hall and landed on the small lady looking down in the corner, his smile on his lips growing gentler.
“Today, there seem to be quite a few people in the classroom. Is everyone sure they haven’t gone to the wrong room?”
A bold student in the first row chimed in, “No, we are here for Professor Han’s lecture. Right?”
With someone taking the lead, others quickly echoed her. The atmosphere in the classroom became very lively.
Han Qifeng was briefly taken aback by the directness of the young lady, he coughed into his fist placed by his lips, quieting down the classroom in an instant.
Then he spoke gently, “Since you are here for my lecture, I hope everyone can maintain silence in the classroom and not disturb other students’ learning. Can you do that?”
“Yes!” They responded in unison.
He turned on his computer and launched the teaching APP, and started explaining the material.
It must be said, Han Qifeng was a highly talented individual. Although his main profession was a doctor, his lectures were engaging and interesting. Even the dry subject of advanced mathematics became straightforward and comprehensible in his hands, and Chi Enen listened intently, taking careful notes.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
When the class bell rang, she collected her notebook into her bag.
Then she took out her mobile phone to check, she had thought a certain paranoid would have sent her a message or made a phone call, but strangely, there wasn’t a single news on her phone, not even the ever-careworn Baby Chi had sent her a message.
She was thinking of asking for some skincare secrets when there was a commotion at the front of the classroom.
“Professor Han is here!” someone blurted out.
