Chapter 355: Chapter 355: If the vinegar jar sees this, what will happen?

These two father and son are too strange… Forget it, I’ll know what they’re up to once I get home.

Chi Enen slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out of the Classroom…

She had just reached the Classroom door when someone called out to her, “Enen.”

Han Qifeng extricated himself from a crowd of female students and walked towards her, winking at her as he moved, clearly signaling for help.

“Did you understand today’s class? If there’s anything you didn’t get, you can ask me.”

Chi Enen looked at the ferocious group of girls behind her and then at Han Qifeng’s rare flustered appearance, suppressing a laugh as she said, “Hmm, there is indeed something that I didn’t quite understand.”

Han Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Let’s go, I’ll explain it to you as we walk.”

“Okay.”

Behind him, the girls from the University of Science and Technology looked exceedingly forlorn, “Professor Han…”

Han Qifeng turned his head and soothed them with all due grace, “If this adult education classmate has something she hasn’t understood, I need to explain it to her. It’s getting late, you all should hurry back to your dormitory.”

As if afraid that the girls would cling on and not let go, he quickly left the Classroom with Chi Enen, one after the other.

Only after they had exited the Teaching Building did Han Qifeng thank her, “Enen, thanks for just now. I really didn’t know what I would have done without you.”

“It’s nothing, I just said a word on your behalf.” Chi Enen voiced the doubt in her heart, “By the way, Mr. Han, how come you’re a professor at the University of Science and Technology? I remember you saying you were a doctor…”

“Ah, that… I’m actually not really a professor, just helping a friend out, occasionally lecturing on chemistry and biology at the university. It’s just a title of a specially-appointed professor.” Han Qifeng took the opportunity to explain why he was there tonight as well, “Tonight, Professor Lin, who was supposed to teach your class, suddenly fell ill, so they asked me to fill in.”

He wasn’t lying—Professor Lin, who was supposed to teach Chi Enen’s class, really had a sudden stomachache and couldn’t come. But the replacement request was initially for another professor; Han Qifeng happened to be at the school for something else, overheard the conversation, and volunteered to help, which is how he ended up teaching Chi Enen’s class this evening.

He didn’t really have any ulterior motives; it was just a coincidence that he heard Professor Lin asking another teacher to substitute, and on a whim, he volunteered because he knew Enen was in the adult education class.

Han Qifeng felt guilty for his little scheme; last time, Chi Enen had made herself very clear to him, and he had decided to back off. But in that moment, he didn’t know what he was thinking; the offer to help just slipped out before he even realized what he was saying. Everyone in the office, including Professor Lin and his friends, was surprised. They couldn’t understand why he, a visiting professor, would volunteer to teach an adult education class.

“Enen, I hope I didn’t cause you any trouble?”

Chi Enen saw the look of guilt on his face and felt awkward, “No, Mr. Han, you’re overthinking it.” It wasn’t like he came to teach just because of her; it was just that another professor got sick. She had nothing to be troubled about.

As they talked, they had already reached the school gate.

Chi Enen stopped and took the initiative to say, “Mr. Han, Baby Chi is still waiting for me at home, so I’ll head back first. What about you?”

“I’m heading back too. Let’s do this, I’ll drive you home.”

If he drove her home and some vinegar jar saw them, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Chi Enen quickly declined, “No need to trouble yourself. I can just take a taxi back. It’s only nine o’clock, not too late.”

“Are you sure?”

…

In a roadside corner not too far away, a black Land Rover was parked quietly in the shade of the trees.
