After settling the matter with Professor Yin, Nalan Chunbo went downstairs, satisfied. Maybe Professor Yin was still wondering how threatening a mere teaching assistant, something he had been doing constantly in the past, had brought about his downfall.
Nalan Chunbo saw Wen Shan waiting as he went downstairs.
Wen Shan kept pacing the checkered tiles. She felt like the old man looked quite familiar but could not remember who he was. She was even more curious as to why he had come with Nalan Chunbo.
Nalan Chunbo walked up to her and watched the people passing by.
Wen Shan turned around and almost bumped into him. She stumbled back, regaining her balance, and frowned at him.
“Why are you still here?” Nalan Chunbo asked and subtly moved closer, raising an eyebrow. “Worried about me?”
Wen Shan swallowed, quickly took a step back and retorted, “Who—Who’s worried about you?! I just want to know who that was!”
Can you not suddenly come close and tease people?
Nalan Chunbo purposely looked disappointed and straightened. “Okay. That was Principal Yin’s father, your past headmaster.”
Principal… Yin?
That old man?
Wasn’t he treating his son rather poorly?
“Why did you come over with the past headmaster?” Wen Shan became more curious and stared at Nalan Chunbo suspiciously.
Nalan Chunbo looked at the time. “It’s almost lunch time, and you owe me a meal. Instead of trying to pick a day for it, might as well let fate decide. Today it is.”
“Wait, wait!” Wen Shan grabbed Nalan Chunbo’s arm as he turned to leave. “Since when do I owe you a meal?”
Nalan Chunbo stared at her mock surprise. “I lent you the money for the registration fee at the hospital.”
Wen Shan lifted her head and wondered which year, which month, and which day that was. She finally remembered and demanded, “When I asked you if you wanted me to buy you a meal, didn’t you reject the offer?”
“We have time now,” Nalan Chuno quipped smoothly.
Wen Shan’s mind went blank. She felt overwhelmed by Nalan Chunbo.
“I—I’ve treated you to many meals.” Wen Shan’s mind was racing as she wondered what other debts she owed this crafty person.
“Weren’t those voluntary?” Nalan Chunbo made an ‘I’m shocked, I thought you were willing’ expression.
Wen Shan was speechless.
What else could she say?
She should have just left earlier.
“Alright. I will treat you to a meal but after today, you cannot appear in front of me anymore,” Wen Shan replied and turned to leave.
Nalan Chunbo put his hands in his pockets and slowly followed her. “Professor Yin should be resigning soon.”
Wen Shan abruptly turned around and stared at Nalan Chunbo. “You did not answer my question. Why did you come over with the past headmaster?” Wen Shan asked again. He had deviated from the question earlier.
Nalan Chunbo shrugged and walked past her. “Treat me to a meal first, then I will talk.”
“Hey!” Wen Shan hastily followed him. Why did Nalan Chunbo enjoy confusing people?
She felt like even if she treated him to a meal, he still would not tell her.
As for why, well, it was as simple as because the current Nalan Chunbo was different!
