Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Coming to Find Us Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Coming to Find Us The Marxism-Leninism teacher quietly pulled Luo Ziling into a corner of the classroom and asked in a soft voice, “Ziling, have you been very busy lately?”

It was too cold outside, so the Marxism-Leninism teacher could only take Luo Ziling to a corner of the classroom to speak.

“I’ve been so busy I often don’t have time for classes. I’m treating several people, and after a period of treatment, their conditions have significantly improved, so I can’t afford to delay. I’ve specifically talked to Dean Wu about this. He told me to focus on treating people because some of the patients are very high-status individuals who didn’t get any results from hospital doctors. Now that there’s improvement, I dare not slack off,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile. “I feel that for this year’s final exams, I’m going to fail most of my classes. I hope the teachers and the dean can cut me some slack.”

Ms. Wang Qiaozhen, the Marxism-Leninism teacher, was a veteran educator with over twenty years of teaching experience. She was currently the deputy head of the political education research group. However, as a teacher of her level, she rarely had the opportunity to interact with leaders at the level of the dean of the college, so she wasn’t aware of Luo Ziling’s good relationship with Wu Mingyun. Wang Qiaozhen had only been instructed several times by the department head to take care of Luo Ziling, to try to prevent him from failing his exams and to treat him as a special student with particular talents.

Since she wasn’t very familiar with Luo Ziling’s situation, his words quite surprised her.

“So Dean Wu has personally looked into your situation,” she said, with a dawning realization, feeling that Luo Ziling was no ordinary person.

Luo Ziling often missed classes, and not only was the school not taking action against him, but he also had the care of many leaders. Would that be possible if he were just a common character? If Luo Ziling did not have any background, and was only outstanding in medical skills, it wouldn’t warrant so much concern from so many leaders.

Thinking of this, Wang Qiaozhen grew even more curious about Luo Ziling.

With an impressive background, talented and good-looking, and without any bad habits, such a young man would undoubtedly be very popular. If Dai Shulan could get together with Luo Ziling, and she could play a part in making it happen, Wang Qiaozhen felt she would find great satisfaction.

Therefore, after a sigh, she cheerfully said, “When you have a bit more free time, I’ll arrange for Shulan to come out with us, maybe have a meal or coffee together, how about that? Don’t refuse now, it’s not a big deal, just meeting each other. If it feels right, you can try dating.”

As a female teacher who was already about fifty, Wang Qiaozhen barely browsed the school’s forum and never pried into gossip, so the information she had about Luo Ziling came mostly from other teachers, and she knew very little about the rumors surrounding him.

Moreover, Wang Qiaozhen trusted her own judgment more. She always believed that one could tell a person’s character by their appearance. By observing someone’s demeanor, you can easily discern their true nature.

Luo Ziling was a young man she was very satisfied with; if she had a daughter, she would have wished for Luo Ziling to be her son-in-law—if only she didn’t have just a son.

“Mr. Wang, in fact, I’m already in a relationship with a girl,” said Luo Ziling tactfully so as not to disappoint Wang Qiaozhen. “So I might not be able to meet your expectations.”

“Hasn’t the relationship been made official yet?” Knowing roughly that Beauty Ouyang was pursuing Luo Ziling and that Luo Ziling had decent relationships with several other pretty girls, Wang Qiaozhen wasn’t much concerned. “You don’t have to make a choice right now, just meet up; it’s not that difficult.”

Luo Ziling was a rather shy person, especially when facing women.

Lacking a mother’s love since childhood, he felt very grateful when older women showed concern for him. Wang Qiaozhen treated him well, and spoke to him kindly and affectionately; Luo Ziling felt warmth in his heart, and thus he didn’t give her a definite refusal. Fearing that a blunt rejection would upset or embarrass Wang Qiaozhen, his words were very careful.

He was also thinking that Dai Shulan certainly knew about his relationship with Yang Qingyin, so if they met, they could clarify things more explicitly, and that way nobody would feel awkward.

And it’s worth mentioning that Comrade Luo Ziling really had a thin skin.

“I’ll take a look when I’m free,” he eventually replied just like that.

Wang Qiaozhen didn’t push Luo Ziling for anything, just expressing her hope that they could sit together over the winter break.

In the end, she mysteriously said that she would give Luo Ziling some private tutoring before the final exams, hoping it would be helpful for his tests.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziling was immediately delighted. He wasn’t dumb; he could guess what Wang Qiaozhen might cover during the private tutoring sessions.

After Wang Qiaozhen left, Luo Ziling finally sighed in relief.

At that time, Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, who had remained in the classroom the whole time, surrounded him, curiously asking what Wang Qiaozhen had said to him. Naturally, Luo Ziling wouldn’t tell them the details, merely saying vaguely that since he often skipped class, Mr. Wang was worried he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the coursework and hoped he would start attending regularly, otherwise she would have to report him to the school.

“Damn, this menopausal woman really doesn’t know how to appreciate beauty and tenderness, does she?” Cao Jianhui yelled out, “Considering how handsome you are, she should have looked the other way. At the very least, she could have taken advantage of you, and we wouldn’t have said she was robbing the cradle.”

As a result of this comment, Cao Jianhui got a kick from Luo Ziling and quickly scampered away.

There were no more classes in the afternoon, and Luo Ziling took out his phone to check it. He didn’t see any calls or messages from Ling Ruonan, Luo Liansheng, Luo Xusheng, or Yang Qingyin. Plus, Cao Jianhui and the others were dragging him back to the dorm to boast and brag, so in the end, Luo Ziling went back with them.

But just as they got back to the dorm, had brewed some tea, and were preparing to shoot the breeze for a while, someone tapped lightly on the door.

“Maybe a beauty has come to visit,” Cao Jianhui said, nimbly jumping up from his chair, running to open the door.

As the door swung open, he paused for a moment, then yelled out excitedly, “Didn’t I say it? It really is a beauty who’s come calling.”

“Who is it?” Wu Longjiang also stood up, craning his neck to look outside.

“Beauty Ouyang, please come in,” Cao Jianhui said, making a welcoming gesture with grace, while also winking at Luo Ziling.

When Luo Ziling looked, it was actually Ouyang Huihui who had come knocking, which made him frown.

“Luo Ziling, I need to talk to you,” said Ouyang Huihui, dressed up beautifully and standing elegantly at the doorway. “Do you have time? I’d like to take you out for a meal and talk to you about something.”

“I’m not free!” Luo Ziling refused outright.

Ouyang Huihui stood there, stunned, unable to believe that Luo Ziling would reject her so flatly, and her expression froze.
