Gu Chenan carried Hoshino Kannon upstairs in a princess carry.
At the corner of the third-floor staircase, a middle-aged bald man was walking downstairs holding a glass of water.
Upon seeing this scene, he frowned and quickly approached Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon, sternly asking, "Which department are you two from?"
"Behaving like this on campus is unacceptable!"
"Teacher Wang, it's me, Hoshino Kannon." Hoshino Kannon, cradled in Gu Chenan's arms, greeted the bald Teacher Wang and then told Gu Chenan, "This is my faculty advisor."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenan's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses.
[Damn it, Hoshino Kannon is so badly injured, yet you still insist that she come to request leave in person. Have you no humanity?]
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Hoshino Kannon pursed her lips and smiled, her heart feeling warm.
"Hoshino Kannon." Teacher Wang stared at Hoshino Kannon's face, then nodded in realization, "Oh, it's you."
Then he sternly said, "Don't just stand there, come down now. Outside of campus, I don't care how lovey-dovey you are, but on campus, you need to behave like students."
He then turned to Gu Chenan and said, "You, which department are you from? Take off those sunglasses! It's not that sunny, young people these days only know how to act cool and show off!"
The bald Teacher Wang had been at Donghai University for a long time and his favorite pastime was to nitpick at students.
Not to mention a princess carry, even if a couple was just holding hands, he would scold them.
So seeing the intimate scene between Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon, he immediately puffed out his beer belly, ready to give them a good scolding.
"Students should behave like students. If you don't, you won't be able to conduct yourselves properly after graduation!"
"Although you're adults, you're also university students, and students should prioritize their studies!"
"Stand up straight right now!"
The bald Teacher Wang fumed.
The commotion on the stairs attracted the attention of everyone nearby.
The students downstairs who enjoyed seeing misfortunes befall others were discussing animatedly when they saw Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon encounter Teacher Wang.
"I knew they would get scolded, see?"
"Heh, public displays of affection never end well!"
"That princess carry was so over-the-top."
"Let them show their affection, and look, they've run into Teacher Wang."
The students and faculty upstairs also came out of their offices upon hearing the noise.
After seeing the "intimate" scene between Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon, they all had expressions of eagerly anticipating a show.
"These two really have a death wish, not only showing off their affection, but they even boldly came to the faculty building."
"Tsk, you don't understand. The more dangerous, the more romantic."
"Exactly, otherwise why would we always hear moaning sounds from the hill behind our school at night?"
"Huh? You're being inappropriate!"
Gu Chenan felt more and more gazes upon him, making him increasingly uncomfortable.
"I'm talking to you, what department are you from? Take off those sunglasses!" The bald Teacher Wang sternly questioned again when he saw Gu Chenan's indifference.
"Keep your voice down, don't shout." Gu Chenan's tone was somewhat unfriendly.
The bald Teacher Wang glared upon hearing this, "Hey, how dare you talk to me like that? Now you know you're being inappropriate, yet you still came to the faculty building like this?"
Faced with Teacher Wang's aggressive attitude, Gu Chenan sighed.
[I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person.]
[Since you insist that I take off my sunglasses, I can only respectfully obey.]
"What are you thinking about? Take them off already!" Teacher Wang angrily pointed at Gu Chenan.
Hoshino Kannon glanced at the fuming Teacher Wang, then looked up at Gu Chenan, and buried her head in Gu Chenan's chest, laughing uncontrollably. She was already anticipating Teacher Wang's expression after Gu Chenan took off his sunglasses.
Hearing the constant discussion around him and seeing the pompous demeanor of the bald Teacher Wang in front of him, the corners of Gu Chenan's mouth curved upward slightly, and he nodded slowly, "Take them off? Very well, I'll take them off."
As he spoke, he reached out and removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp, piercing eyes.
The onlookers were instantly stunned.
"Wow, this guy is so handsome!"
"He's really handsome. That girl is so lucky to have such a handsome boyfriend, I'm jealous."
Some people were immediately taken aback by Gu Chenan's devastatingly handsome appearance.
At the same time, some also recognized Gu Chenan's identity.
"Woah, isn't this Young Master Gu?"
"I'll be damned, it really is Young Master Gu!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Gu Chenan was the famous figure of Donghai, so his appearance was truly unexpected.
The bald Teacher Wang's eyes widened visibly when he saw Gu Chenan without his sunglasses, and he staggered back as if struck by lightning.
He then quickly lowered the finger he was pointing at Gu Chenan, swallowed hard, and said with a forced smile, "Young Master Gu, what a surprise to see you here."
Teacher Wang's heart pounded with anxiety, his back soaked in sweat.
Who in Donghai didn't know Gu Chenan's reputation?
The consequences of offending him were unimaginable!
He had just spoken to Gu Chenan in such a rude and condescending manner. The potential repercussions were simply too dreadful to contemplate!
Teacher Wang's terrified expression did not escape Gu Chenan's notice.
However, Gu Chenan did not intend to assume an accusatory demeanor. Today, he had come to request leave on behalf of Hoshino Kannon, not to cause trouble.
But then again, Hoshino Kannon was so badly injured, yet this bald Teacher Wang still insisted that she come in person.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan decided that he would definitely make this bald Teacher Wang give an explanation today.
"Surprised?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
Teacher Wang nodded, then immediately bowed, "My apologies, Young Master Gu. I didn't know it was you, I was out of line."
"Let's not talk about that first." Gu Chenan waved his hand and said, "Do you know why I came today?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang glanced at Hoshino Kannon, then blinked in confusion, "Young Master Gu, please enlighten me..."
"Hmph!"
Gu Chenan snorted coldly, "I came to request leave for Hoshino Kannon!"
Hearing this, Teacher Wang looked even more confused. He immediately said, "Young Master Gu, for something like requesting leave, a phone call would have sufficed. There was no need for you to come in person."
"Make a phone call to you? Wouldn't you have just denied the leave request?" Gu Chenan said angrily.
Teacher Wang blinked in bewilderment, "No, no, no one called me to request leave for Hoshino Kannon."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenan was taken aback and looked down at Hoshino Kannon in his arms.
Hoshino Kannon buried her head in Gu Chenan's chest, laughing uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Gu Chenan immediately realized what had happened.
[Damn it, she tricked me again!]
[This vixen deliberately said that so I would accompany her to school!]
[Damn it, I trusted you so easily, yet you made a fool out of me like this. Argh!]
"Oh, then never mind." The assertiveness that Gu Chenan had initially mustered suddenly dissipated, and he said with some embarrassment, "There must have been some misunderstanding."
"Then... Young Master Gu, is there anything else?" Teacher Wang's fear had not yet subsided.
"Just requesting leave for Hoshino Kannon, nothing else."
Teacher Wang immediately nodded, "Understood, understood, Young Master Gu."
Then he added, "I sincerely apologize. Earlier, I truly didn't know it was you."
"It's fine, it's fine. Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave." Gu Chenan shook his head.
"Yes, yes, take care, Young Master Gu."
Watching Gu Chenan's retreating figure, Teacher Wang heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been so scared that he was prepared to call his village and have them prepare a funeral feast.
Damn it, what a mess.
Why did Young Master Gu of the Gu family come to our university?
What's the relationship between that Hoshino Kannon and Young Master Gu?
Could it be that Young Master Gu has grown tired of delicacies and now has a taste for sweets?
Alas, the world of the wealthy is beyond my comprehension...
Lao Wang wiped the sweat from his brow and surveyed the gawking crowd. "What are you looking at?" he barked. "Get back to your business!"
The onlookers snickered at Lao Wang's abrupt change in demeanor, muttering as they shuffled away.
