Wen stumbled and heard a deep voice before she could balance herself.
“Rest assured, Teacher Ding, I will not let anyone pick on her,” said Nalan Chunbo blankly, his tone leaving no room for arguments.
Wen Shan continued to stand aside without saying a word.
Ding Junhui looked at Nalan Chunbo’s hand that was holding Wen Shan’s wrist then looked at Nalan Chunbo.
“Dean…” Ding Junhui glanced at Wen Shan and paused, then corrected his words, “I am sure that Mr. Nalan will not allow anyone to pick on Wen Shan. My mind is at ease if that is the case,” Ding Junhui nodded and said then walked away.
If he had no chance before this, now he had no chance at all.
The man who she loved so much had come for her. Does that mean that no one else would have a chance anymore?
Looks like her dream of marrying a dean would come true after all.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Wen Shan flung Nalan Chunbo’s hand off and stared at him angrily, “you were interrupting something.”
Nalan Chunbo didn’t seem to be mad though. “You were the only one by my side when you followed me around. There was only you.”
In other words, Wen Shan could only let Nalan Chunbo be by her side now to be fair.
“Are you blaming me for your lack of friends?” Wen Shan only realized what he meant after a while.
“Coco likes me, but I didn’t let her be by my side,” said Nalan Chunbo casually.
Coco. Wen Shan had heard of this person—another legendary mathematician on the same level as Nalan Chunbo and If.
But what was he trying to say?
“Tell her to come now then, I am sure she followed you with ulterior motives.” Wen Shan got madder the more she thought about it and pushed Nalan Chunbo out of her way.
So what if he was that famous?
“You know that is not what I meant, Wen Shan. Let’s be fair, shouldn’t you be giving me at least one month?” Nalan Chunbo grabbed Wen Shan’s wrist again and followed her as she struggled to escape.
“Stop following me,” Wen Shan yelled. She looked around when she realized she was too loud then flung Nalan Chunbo’s hand off again.
“Stop following me, what if the new dean saw us together? You knew that I am determined to marry a department head,” said Wen Shan, who walked away after letting out a humph.
Nalan Chunbo stood there and calmed himself down. He wished he had recorded what Wen Shan said so she could listen to herself when she refused to marry him in the future.
Wen Shan almost ran all the way back to her room and threw herself onto her bed. “Are you overthinking again, Wen Shan?” She hugged her bolster and said loudly.
But…
Wen Shan pondered and sat up straight on her bed with her bolster in her arms. It was as if a shoulder angel and shoulder devil were debating.
Shoulder devil: Are you stupid? Have you forgotten the pain from the way he treated you?
Shoulder angel: But should he be judged just because of the one wrong that he did?
Shoulder devil: So what, give him a second chance? You should be hating that man. Weren’t you doing a good job of it earlier?
Shoulder angel: Good job? Can you swear that you don’t feel for him anymore? Isn’t it your principle to go for what you like?
Shoulder devil: Yes it was, until you almost drowned because of it.
“Agh!” Wen Shan shouted as she waved the shoulder angel and shoulder devil away and laid down on her bed again.
