Chapter 16: Defense is always broken accidentally
After some adjustments, Jiang Ning quickly entered the state of teaching. Many students below listened attentively. They came with the attitude of learning, but there were also people who came just to have fun.

Some even just came to join in the fun and see what the rumored best-looking teacher at Lanzhou University looks like.

Obviously, no one was disappointed.

Jiang Ning has always been very restrained in dressing herself up, and the common black and white combination is more suitable for the solemnity of her identity as a teacher.

For example, today, she wore a black short suit with a V-neck pure white lining on the upper body, and a hip skirt with flesh-colored stockings on the lower body. Even with flat shoes, she still couldn't hide her tallness.

It’s mainly because it’s cold, otherwise she rarely wears stockings.

Don't underestimate this thin layer, it definitely has a warming effect.

In addition to helping students develop philosophical thinking, Jiang Ning's philosophy class also has three other major themes: "clarification, construction, and defense."

She thought philosophy was attractive, and there were many students attending her classes. Jiang Ning would usually be very happy, but there were also times when she was unhappy... like now. She was a little absent-minded when she was teaching, and her eyes would drift towards Chen Yuan from time to time.

What made Jiang Ning speechless was the girl next to Chen Yuan, who was wearing heavy makeup. Not only did she not study, she also led a few people next to her to chat.

Outrageous!

We're in class, why are you always sticking things on the male students?

……

In the corner of the lecture hall.

"During the military training, I knew you came to Lanzhou University. I wanted to go over and give you some drinks, but then I thought it would be bad if your girlfriend Chen Yuan misunderstood me. I've run into you several times in school." Liu Tingyue said in a low voice, with a smile full of understanding.

Highlight someone who is sensible.

"We, the juniors, are so touched by the thoughtfulness of the senior." Quan Yafeng was very happy. He felt particularly close to the senior from the same high school when he went to college.

Hearing that the senior schoolmate had thought about offering to bring him drinks, he felt even warmer in his heart.

Although... no one mentioned him at all, Quan Yafeng took the initiative to include himself.

"Thank you, senior sister. It's thoughtful." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Don't worry, senior sister. He doesn't have a girlfriend. It's all nonsense. Don't mind it."

"really?"

"Of course, our dormitory is full of singles."

"Oh, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're already in college and you're not in a relationship right now. If you see a pretty girl, just chase her bravely. Besides, I think you guys are all pretty good, with good looks and height."

Liu Tingyue's words were full of affirmation. Being praised by such a beautiful girl, Liu Nan and the others suddenly felt a little shy and unconsciously straightened their chests.

I also developed some feelings towards this senior student.

The environment in which boys grow up is different from that of girls. Even if a girl is average looking, she will be praised for being "good-looking", "having a good foundation", and "how stunning she would be if she knew how to put on makeup", while boys are rarely praised.

Even the introverted and mature Wei Zhen felt touched by the kindness shown by Liu Tingyue.

"Why don't we add each other's contact information? I have single sisters who can recommend some to you."

"Senior! You are so nice."

"No way, I'll be embarrassed if you praise me again."

Liu Tingyue pursed her lips and shyly tidied her long hair around her neck.

The few good girlfriends around her knew it very well. They knew that Liu Tingyue's purpose from the beginning was to get Chen Yuan!

In high school.

She has a good impression of Chen Yuan.

However, from the time he entered the school to his graduation, there was no substantial action. I just thought that this junior was nice and it would be fun to have a relationship with him, but I didn't say that I particularly liked him.

Instead, Chen Yuan went to Lanzhou University. She happened to browse the school bar and saw his photo.

Wow, who would have thought that Chen Yuan, who was not particularly eye-catching in high school, has grown taller and his face has grown more mature, and he can no longer be simply described as "handsome".

Liu Tingyue was immediately attracted.

She had a boyfriend when she entered Lanzhou University. The boyfriend was not very good-looking, but his family was well-off and he was generous when they went out together. However, they broke up some time ago, and this scumbag seamlessly found a cute junior schoolmate.

Liu Tingyue was very angry about this. She was good at looking for a better partner while she was still a donkey. She wanted to pick a spare tire from the fish pond to deal with first, to show that she was not short of people who liked her.

But what can I say about that group of angry sheep...few of them can show off anything.

Chen Yuan's appearance undoubtedly made her eyes light up.

At first, she was worried that Chen Yuan had a girlfriend and it would be difficult to poach him, but when Quan Yafeng pointed out that he didn't have a girlfriend, Liu Tingyue was extremely moved.

She thought that after successfully winning over Chen Yuan, she would announce it on WeChat Moments, take some nice intimate photos and post them on Tik Tok. Why would she still care about her ex-boyfriend? How many girls would be envious and jealous.

Liu Tingyue's eyes flickered and did not move away for a moment, locked on Chen Yuan's face.

"By the way, I came to see you for one more thing." "What?"

"I am now the director of our school's Arts Department. A new member who has just joined for a few months has taken a leave of absence. This department is already busy with work, and it's a bit difficult to handle without one person. Chen Yuan, you didn't join the Student Union, right?"

"No."

"That's great, how about giving Senior a hand?"

Chen Yuan looked at Senior Liu's sincere face. He wanted to refuse and was thinking about more tactful words.

"I think academics are more important, so I didn't sign up for the student union when I enrolled."

"It won't affect your studies too much, I promise!" Liu Tingyue stretched out four fingers and blinked her eyes, looking cute, "I beg you as a senior..."

Her tone was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.

The hearts of the straight men like Liu Nan and others nearby immediately softened when they shouted at him.

However, Chen Yuan frowned slightly because of this coquetry. How to say it, girls' coquetry is indeed hard to resist, but he saw Teacher Jiang Ning's coquetry yesterday.

This senior sister Liu... although she is not annoying, the putty on her face is a bit thick.

Compared with Jiang Ning, well, there is really no comparison.

He couldn't muster any good impression at all.

Liu Tingyue observed Chen Yuan's embarrassed expression and laughed in her heart, thinking that he was moved.

……

Rumbling--

Around ten o'clock, Jiang Ning was still giving a lecture, but the sky outside was getting darker as noon approached, with flashes of lightning among the layers of dark clouds.

Muffled thunder came.

The wind outside suddenly became strong and fast. The leaves of the tall ash trees on both sides of the campus street were all blown away by the wind, and the sound of "rustling" was endless, as if it was setting off the buzzing thunder.

The smell of earth was stronger in the air. It was clearly daytime, but unless all the lights in the classroom were turned on, the teacher on the podium would not be able to see clearly.

Some students were attracted by the thunder and looked outside. They saw fallen leaves being blown into the corridor and not stopping even when they hit the wall.

"How great it would be if I could stay in the dormitory and play games today..." Quan Yafeng muttered to himself.

Rumbling--

Another muffled thunder sounded.

Liu Tingyue was obviously frightened. She looked terrified and lowered her head, not daring to look out the window. She leaned hard into Chen Yuan's arms.

"Are you afraid of thunder?"

"Yeah, I've been afraid of it since I was a kid."

"Ok."

However, what Liu Tingyue did not notice was that a cold gaze was fixed on her from the podium.

Jiang Ning temporarily stopped teaching while the students searched the books for the content they had just covered.

She struggled to turn her gaze away from Chen Yuan, picked up the teacup in her hand, and unscrewed the lid with great force. A light white mist floated out from the quilt, mixed with the scent of jasmine.

Why do I feel so sad?

Jiang Ning couldn't figure it out. She felt like something was stuck in her throat.

This class was a complete failure. Her condition was not even half as good as before. Sometimes after she finished speaking, she didn't react to what she had said, and when she resumed the class after being distracted, she was already emotionally out of sorts.

She took a sip of tea. When she made the decision to break up, it was as easy as drinking the tea, because she had no other choice.

And life after the breakup isn't that sad.

There is no pain of broken love.

A few days ago, Jiang Ning even felt like forgetting Chen Yuan.

Ha, I can’t remember at all.

But when she saw Chen Yuan behaving like a couple with other girls, her strong psychological defenses were instantly broken.

So fragile that she couldn't even imagine it.

Jiang Ning had never imagined what Chen Yuan would be like with other girls, but there was no doubt about it when she saw this scene.

Her defense was broken.
