"Mmm-hmm, Mr. Mu, will we have a chance to meet again!"
Upon learning that he was leaving, Gu Yan'er's pretty face couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment.
At this moment, she didn't realize that a nameless affection was quietly sprouting from her heart.
Mu Feng smiled faintly and didn't reply. After getting into the car, he drove away.
She bit her red lips, then suddenly chuckled, her mood indescribably happy.
Just as she was about to enter the campus, she was suddenly stopped by an unwelcome guest.
"Hold on, where are you going?" The speaker was the middle-aged man in a shirt, with a receding hairline.
Upon seeing him, Gu Yan'er immediately said politely, "Hello, Teacher Zhao!"
"You know I'm your teacher? How long has it been since you've attended my elective class?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, his expression clearly malicious.
She hurriedly explained, "It's like this, I had an urgent family matter and applied for a leave of absence. You should know about it!"
"Heh, I don't know. I say, little Gu, are you treating the elective class as if it doesn't exist?" The middle-aged man pressed on.
Gu Yan'er shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, that's not what I mean. I really had family matters, that's why I'm on leave this time!"
"Let me tell you, if you fail an elective course, you still can't graduate. Although you're only in your second year, if I hold you back for two years, what will you do if you can't get your degree certificate then?" The middle-aged man chuckled smugly, seeing this as his most potent weapon.
Gu Yan'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, "Teacher Zhao, what do you mean by that..."
"I just want you to correct your attitude. Of course, I want to ask you, do you still want that degree certificate?" The middle-aged man licked his lips.
Especially for students from poor families like her, the degree certificate was even more important.
"Of course I want it, Teacher, please!" Tears kept streaming down her face, and soon she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "Tsk, tsk, little Gu, you look so pitiful when you cry. How about this? You can accompany me from now on. I'm also from out of town, so let's live together. The nights are long..."
Gu Yan'er's heart sank. She looked at him in disbelief, "As a teacher, how can you say such things?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a basin of cold water doused on the middle-aged man's head, extinguishing all his pleasure.
"Little Gu, you're being rather tactless. It's your good fortune that I fancy you. How about this? I'll give you two thousand yuan a month, consider it as keeping you!"
In the middle-aged man's opinion, two thousand yuan was already a lot.
"No, thank you. I need to go back to my dorm!" Gu Yan'er wanted to leave quickly, so she sidestepped him and prepared to enter the school gate.
However, this lewd middle-aged man clearly had no intention of letting her go, and once again blocked her path.
"Hold on, little Gu. If you leave today, I, Zhao, can guarantee with my integrity that you absolutely cannot get your degree certificate!"
The middle-aged man smiled confidently. This tactic had never failed him in all these years; he seemed to have never encountered a setback.
Just as Gu Yan'er was being pushed into a corner, a car suddenly stopped in front of them.
Mu Feng got out and said, "I heard this pig threatening someone from afar. What? How capable are you? Can you really prevent someone from graduating?"
Gu Yan'er could hardly believe her eyes. Terrified at this moment, she immediately threw herself into Mu Feng's arms.
"Mr. Mu, I was so scared. I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate, afraid I won't find a good job, and won't be able to provide my mother with a better life..."
Soon, she was sobbing uncontrollably, soaking Mu Feng's shirt.
He was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted, "People like you are truly despicable, using your minimal authority to trouble others?"
The middle-aged man cursed, "Kid, who do you think you are? I'm educating my student, what business is it of yours?"
"I'm protecting my sister. Do you think it's any of your business?" Mu Feng chuckled.
Gu Yan'er's heart warmed, and an unprecedented sense of security arose within her. At this moment, she felt a warmth spread throughout her body. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The middle-aged man cleared his throat, his tone slightly softening, "You're her brother, huh? But she's missed so many classes, it's indeed not good. How about this? We'll talk about this later!"
Mu Feng, knowing what the guy was thinking, patted Gu Yan'er's hair, "Alright, I'll help you resolve this, otherwise this guy will keep bothering you later!"
"Mmm, thank you, Mr. Mu!" she said, biting her red lips.
Mu Feng walked over aggressively and said in a low voice, "You have improper thoughts about her? Don't you?"
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately became displeased, "Kid, what do you think you're doing? I do have feelings for her, what can you do to me?"
"One rotten apple spoils the barrel. Kneel and apologize to her immediately, or I won't mind castrating you!" Mu Feng's fist swung in front of him.
He almost burst out laughing, "I'm really terrified. You're going to castrate me? Do you have the ability?"
Before Mu Feng could speak, he continued arrogantly, "Kid, let me tell you, you can't do anything to me. After you leave, I'll make sure to target your sister. Within three days, I'll have her!"
Mu Feng's face immediately turned grim, "Haven't you ever heard the saying 'beware of your words'!"
As he spoke, he placed one hand directly on the middle-aged man's shoulder.
"Judging by your accent, you're from out of town. I advise you to apologize and get lost immediately, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to let you leave Honghai City alive!"
Mu Feng chuckled, "I find it hard to believe that these words could come from a teacher. You are a disgrace to the profession!"
Saying that, he increased the pressure on his hand, pressing down on his shoulder like a hydraulic press.
The middle-aged man felt the pressure on his body suddenly increase. His legs seemed unable to withstand the weight, and he was quickly forced to his knees.
"Y-you, kid, how are you so strong? Let me go!" He struggled incessantly.
But how could Mu Feng let him go?
Soon, he could no longer bear the strain and his knees bent, forcing him to his knees.
An unspeakable sense of humiliation caused his old face to instantly turn red. Many onlookers even started applauding enthusiastically.
"God, someone is finally teaching this rotten apple a lesson, it's so satisfying!" someone shouted.
Many people were pointing fingers at the middle-aged man, as if he had a bad reputation.
Mu Feng said mockingly, "It seems you're infamous. Hurry up and apologize, or I won't mind making you kneel here forever!"
"Kid, release your dirty hands immediately, or I have a hundred ways to ensure you have no burial place in Honghai City!"
