As the evening self-study session was about to begin, most students had returned to the classroom.

Chu Bai’s previously dejected expression was gone, replaced by a spirited demeanor.

The homeroom teacher, Song Zhenyu, suddenly walked into the classroom and called Chu Bai to the office.

For Chu Bai’s safety, the principal hadn’t announced his name. However, as Chu Bai’s homeroom teacher, Song Zhenyu was certainly privy to the details. Her sudden call for Chu Bai to the office was likely to commend him.

Wang Haoran couldn’t sit still.

Song Zhenyu was one of the female leads, and according to the rules of web novels, when the protagonist and the female lead meet alone, a story is bound to unfold.

Wang Haoran picked up an English test paper and left the classroom.

In the office, Song Zhenyu had just sat down and was about to say a few words of praise to Chu Bai when she noticed someone approaching.

Wang Haoran glanced around the office and immediately sensed a strong sense of cliché.

This was a shared office for ten teachers, yet at this moment, only Song Zhenyu was present. If Wang Haoran hadn’t come over, wouldn’t Song Zhenyu and Chu Bai be alone in the office?

The protagonist’s halo was truly formidable. It could invisibly create an environment conducive to the protagonist’s romantic pursuits.

Song Zhenyu had already given her praise. Seeing the diligent student Wang Haoran come over to ask questions about the English test paper, she naturally answered all his queries.

Chu Bai watched from the side. If looks could kill, Wang Haoran would have been slain a thousand times over.

Compared to the somewhat inexperienced Xu Muyan, the alluring Song Zhenyu had a different kind of charm. Chu Bai had often fantasized about this beautiful teacher.

This time, he finally had a chance to be alone with her, and now Wang Haoran had come over to ask questions. How could Chu Bai not be angry?

Wang Haoran deliberately dragged out the time until the bell for the evening self-study session rang. He continued asking questions.

Evening self-study was also a time for learning, and asking questions about English was part of that learning. It was inappropriate for Chu Bai to continue standing there, so he left the office and headed back to the classroom.

However, within a few minutes, Chu Bai returned with an English test paper. Clearly, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to be alone with Song Zhenyu.

During the evening self-study session, students were free to study their coursework and could also go to the office to ask teachers questions. However, those who came to ask questions were usually top students. Those with poor or average grades didn’t have the face to come over.

Chu Bai had cheated last time and only managed to get a below-average score. Now he had come over, showing that he had quite a thick skin.

Even the longest English test paper had its limits. After a while, Wang Haoran couldn’t continue asking questions and had to stop.

Chu Bai seized the opportunity to ask Song Zhenyu questions.

“Chu Bai, Song Zhenyu is tired. We’re working on the same test paper, and I know all the answers. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I can teach you,” Wang Haoran said eagerly.

Of course, Chu Bai was unwilling and was about to say, “No need to trouble you.”

However, before he could say it, Song Zhenyu interjected, “Wang Haoran is right. He knows all these questions. Chu Bai, since Wang Haoran offered, let him teach you.”

Song Zhenyu had been talking with Wang Haoran for over twenty minutes, and her mouth was dry. She really wanted to take a break. Wang Haoran’s offer to help was a relief for her.

Chu Bai was extremely unwilling, but in front of Song Zhenyu, he couldn’t show his displeasure. He gritted his teeth and said to Wang Haoran, “Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome!” Wang Haoran replied teasingly.

Out of Song Zhenyu’s sight, their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly.

The two of them left the office. Chu Bai was furious and quickly headed back to the classroom. It was clear he wouldn’t be asking Wang Haoran any questions.

Of course, Wang Haoran had no intention of answering him either.

[Ding! The host successfully disrupted the opportunity for the protagonist Chu Bai to be alone with one of the female leads, Song Zhenyu, earning 200 villain points.]

Hearing the system’s notification, Wang Haoran was delighted. He leisurely made his way back to the classroom.

However, as he passed a corner, he almost bumped into the physical education teacher.

The PE teacher, Xin Liangcai, was about thirty years old and a muscular man. He was carrying an opaque large bag, which almost fell to the ground.

Xin Liangcai was concerned about the bag and was about to scold the student who wasn’t watching where they were going. But when he saw it was Wang Haoran, he swallowed his words.

This student was not someone he could afford to offend.

The PE teacher forced a smile at Wang Haoran and then passed by him.

In the air, there was a lingering fragrance. Wang Haoran sniffed it and immediately identified it as the scent of roses.

It wasn’t hard to deduce. The opaque bag Xin Liangcai was carrying contained roses.

Wang Haoran glanced back at Xin Liangcai, just in time to see him enter the office and close the door behind him.

Inside the office, only Song Zhenyu was present. Xin Liangcai was likely pursuing Song Zhenyu.

With Song Zhenyu’s beauty, she was certainly not interested in a muscular man like Xin Liangcai. Thus, a conflict was brewing.

Thinking of this, Wang Haoran once again sensed a strong sense of cliché. If he hadn’t disrupted the opportunity for Chu Bai and Song Zhenyu to be alone, Chu Bai would have been present when Xin Liangcai pursued Song Zhenyu.

Then Chu Bai would have helped drive away the annoying pursuer, gaining Song Zhenyu’s favor. Wang Haoran could even imagine the subsequent plot.

Although Xin Liangcai temporarily left, he would have threatened Chu Bai before leaving. After all, Chu Bai was just an ordinary student, and Xin Liangcai, as a teacher, didn’t need to fear him.

The very responsible teacher Song Zhenyu would propose that they walk home together after the evening self-study session. At that moment, a group of bad guys associated with Xin Liangcai would appear.

In a moment of rashness, Xin Liangcai would decide to not only teach Chu Bai a lesson but also have ill intentions towards Song Zhenyu. But unfortunately, he wouldn’t be a match for Chu Bai.

Chu Bai would save Song Zhenyu once again. Hero saves beauty. Wouldn’t their relationship quickly heat up?

In essence, Xin Liangcai was just a tool to provide “assistance” to the male and female leads.

Wang Haoran decided not to return to the classroom and immediately headed back to the office.

As soon as he opened the office door, he saw Xin Liangcai kneeling on one knee with a face full of affection, holding a bouquet of roses and confessing his love to Song Zhenyu.

Song Zhenyu frowned, her eyes filled with disgust, and she made a pushing gesture with her hands towards the bouquet of roses, clearly rejecting Xin Liangcai.

Wang Haoran had already anticipated this scene and wasn’t surprised at all.
