Chapter 97

  At this point, a chill ran down his spine, Li Xiaobai temporarily let go of Han Dan and decided to listen to the movements outside.

  Han Dan's teeth were clenched, her eyes revealing a deep-seated disgust.

  Seeing him like this, Li Xiaobai felt inexplicably guilty.

  Thinking of what I did earlier, this guilty conscience is surrounded by remorse.

  But the world won't stop for one person's guilt, and the conversation outside continues.

  "With the class leader around, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?" he said casually, his voice lowering slightly, seemingly a bit embarrassed. "Uh, Teacher Lin, have you considered what I talked about last time?"

  "Huh... what are you talking about, Teacher Qin?" Lin Nan said somewhat awkwardly from inside the house, "I've only just arrived at school and for now, I just want to focus my energy on teaching."

  Isn't this a new way of refusing? Li Xiaobai secretly remembered it in his heart.

  "Is that so? Does Lin Laoshi have a boyfriend?" Qin Jun hesitated for a moment before asking again.

  "Whatever... whatever!" Lin Nan's voice was even lower, "Teacher Qin, let's go back, it's a bit too cold outside. It seems that the couple has already run off somewhere."

  "Look at me, I actually forgot this..."

  The Qin army made some embarrassed noises, and then Li Xiaobai heard the footsteps gradually moving away.

  It's clear that Lin Nan and the other person have already left.

  Lin Nan left, Han Dan didn't even look at Li Xiaobai, turned around and was about to leave.

  In surprise, Li Xiaobai directly grabbed her hand.

  "Li Xiaobai, what do you want to do?" Even Han Dan, who rarely got angry, was getting furious.

  "Not yet," Li Xiaobai said in a low voice, hanging his head slightly with some guilt. "I think Lin Nan and the others might not have gone far. If they come back to launch another attack, you'll be the one who runs into them."

  Han Dan didn't say anything else and also didn't rush out again.

  "Just now... I'm sorry..."

  Han Dan didn't respond, but instead turned on the backlight of her phone and used it to guide herself to the little rabbit's location. Her slender fingers gently stroked the rabbit's back.

  "Xiao Bai... Today is the most unhappy day for me."

  As he said this, it was as if he realized something, and Han Dan paused for a moment before continuing, "From now on, I'll call you Xiao Hui. Can pure and flawless white really exist?"

  Then, the bamboo house fell silent again.

  Ten minutes later, when it was certain that Lin Nan and the other person would not return, Han Dan left the small hut.

  After Han Dan left, Li Xiaobai, who had locked the door, also left the activity room.

  It's all over now.

  He walked out of the room and sat down on the lawn, feeling somewhat despondent.

  Even now, Li Xiaobai couldn't figure out why he had suddenly become impulsive in an unfamiliar environment.

  However, upon careful reflection, it's not entirely untraceable.

  That unexpected encounter with Tao Huan, in an unknown activity room where he and Xia Xinger were only a fingernail away from each other, was undoubtedly a spark. These two contacts that made Li Xiaobai blush made him realize that girls are all very annoying originally is a pseudo-proposition, while most girls are attractive but may be true.

  So why did he have such a strong impulse towards Han Dan alone?

  The dark night gave me a pair of black glasses, and at the same time, it also gave me an unprecedented courage.

  After all, many evils are bred in the dark of night?

  Is it just because it's stimulating, so you're going all out?

  Just in case it wasn't, when a word popped up, Li Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't rule out this option.

  Yes, maybe this is the correct answer.

  But even so, it's no excuse for kissing someone else, Li Xiaobai thought wearily, rubbing his hair.

  Han Dan will tell the class teacher... call the parents directly... call 110 directly... or...

  Squeak, squeak...

  The ringing of a short message in his pocket finally woke Li Xiaobai from his meditation.

  "Come to the office for a visit."

  No names were mentioned, but if the message was sent to oneself, then it wouldn't be wrong.

  It wasn't until now that I realized my current behavior is actually truancy. When there's no way to hide, the only thing to do is grit your teeth and push forward.

  I used to be quite good at asking for leave, but it's really scary how dull I've become.

  Just then, while walking on the road, I started daydreaming again.

  Waiting for their own won't be police and Han Dan's parents, right? Won't be, even if they make a phone call, they shouldn't arrive that quickly.

  So it's Han Dan's class teacher, maybe.

  Forget it, whatever, it's all his own fault anyway. Li Xiaobai never thought of making excuses for himself.

  It turned out he was overthinking. Inside the office, apart from Lin Nan, there was no one else.

  But as soon as he stepped into the office, Li Xiaobai felt an unprecedented strong aura from Lin Nan.

  In this atmosphere, even wanting to smile foolishly or pretend to be stupid is impossible.

  Evolved, Lin Nan has evolved.

  Under Lin Nan's gaze, Li Xiaobai lowered his head, this time it wasn't like before when he pretended to be a little scared, this time he was really getting frightened.

  "Tell me, why did you come to the office?"

  A faint whisper floated in the office, immediately freezing the still somewhat warm atmosphere inside.

  Even the toughest nut will crack when encountering such an expert.

  "Skipped self-study class again!" Li Xiaobai said somewhat weakly.

  "Not bad," Lin Nan said with a cold face, nodding slightly. "In the past, you would have said it was because I sent you a text message that you came to the office. Today, you're surprisingly honest, there's been progress."

  Teacher, let's just stop flattering each other, shall we?

  "Huh? You're quite educated, aren't you?" Li Xiaobai said with some lack of confidence. "Teacher, I've realized my mistake, can you let me go back?"

  I heard that girls have a few days every month when they're in a particularly bad mood, is today coincidentally one of those days? After all, Lin Nan wouldn't get so angry even if there were some minor instances of skipping class before. Today was indeed different. Accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger, but the most frightening thing is encountering a tigress, and Li Xiaobai's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.

  "You said it and I'll naturally let you go," Lin Nan seemed to be in a good mood, "But can you tell me where you're going tonight?"

  "I... I was sleeping in the dormitory," said Li Xiaobai, "The weather changed too drastically, and my head hurts a bit."

  "Li Xiaobai, stop making things up," Lin Nan was thoroughly angry. "You were one of the ones at the animal rescue society tonight, weren't you?"

  Ah…… Li Xiaobai was completely stunned this time.

  Still waters run deep; Lin Nan said this with such certainty that it wasn't what she saw, but rather what she heard.

  Just like how Lin Nan's voice can be recognized with just three words, it's not impossible that Han Dan was shone on by her flashlight when she entered the activity room.

  Although it was just a back view, I skipped class again tonight, and with a little thought and recalling the body shape I saw, I could match the number.

  She quietly raised her head and took a look at Lin Nan, only to find that she was staring straight at herself without blinking.

  Don't look at me with such a terrifying gaze, this is already a confession of guilt.

  But one look and Lin Nan's evidence was solid, Li Xiaobai understood that if he didn't tell the truth, Lin Nan would probably be even more unhappy.

  "It should be me," Li Xiaobai said first, seeing Lin Nan's face not looking good. "But don't get me wrong. It's mainly because you and another teacher suddenly came chasing after us, aren't they investigating early romance recently? Although we're not young anymore, I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I hid in the activity room with another girl."

  "If you're upright, you don't have to worry about the shadow being crooked. If we hadn't been in love, how would we have misunderstood each other?" Lin Nan's hands were clasped together in front of her chest, and her tone became serious. "Li Xiaobai, I'm not bothered by your contact with girls, or rather, I'm even a bit happy about it. But tonight, wasn't it more than just simple contact?"

  Come on, invading my privacy again!

  Only when this is not actively spoken by Han Dan himself, does one absolutely have no right to say it.

  "It's that simple, teacher. Sometimes you think too much and can't solve the problem." Lin Nan didn't have any evidence anyway, so Li Xiaobai felt a bit more confident. "Actually, it was just a girl I recently met, but she wasn't interested in getting to know me. She wanted to clarify things with me, and coincidentally at that time..."

  As Li Xiaobai was speaking, Lin Nan suddenly leaned forward and gently placed her warm and pale palm on his cheek.

  At that moment, Li Xiaobai's face turned bright red as he stared at the slightly more pronounced dimples in front of him compared to those of the girls in his class.

  "What's going on?" Lin Nan asked in an unprecedented cold tone, her slender hands putting down whatever she was holding. "What's with the wound on your cheek? Don't tell me you bumped into something somewhere."

  It's really hopeless now.

  "Also, it seems like your mouth corner is a bit torn, was it bitten by a girl?"

  The last straw also pressed down. Li Xiaobai completely gave up resistance.

  "Do you know why I didn't go in? It's because I knew it was you inside." Just when Li Xiaobai thought Lin Nan would explode in anger, Lin Nan unexpectedly remained calm, "Is that girl from Class 7? Li Xiaobai, do you like her?"

  Kind of, just listening to myself talking like this.

  They had kissed, yet she shook her head in denial. In the office, it was as if her face naturally became thicker-skinned. Li Xiaobai also couldn't help but acknowledge it with embarrassment.

  "It seems like I've made some progress after adjusting my position."

  It may be an illusion, but Li Xiaobai felt that Lin Nan was not particularly angry, yet a sigh came from him.

  Although generally speaking, the relationship between teachers and students is always with a certain distance, not all teacher-student relationships are like this. Some students have a particularly close relationship with their teachers. When he came to high school, Lin Nan was quite good to him, and Li Xiaobai, who was not dull, could feel that Lin Nan's concern for him went beyond the simple care of a teacher for his student.

  Lin Nan's voice was tinged with a hint of regret, and to be honest, this sigh made him take notice.
