Chapter 162 The Late Student
An Xiaoyue looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that the classmate who called her was Zhou Ping, the class monitor.
Zhou Ping moved the books on the table towards her, making room for three more people, and invited her with a smile.
She glanced at the last row of steps, a dozen or so, and then walked towards Zhou Ping.
Ignoring the sudden attention from her classmates, she calmly sat down, smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you, class monitor."
"It's okay. I originally saved these seats for my roommates, but they all ran to the back because they were afraid of being called on by the professor to answer questions."
An Xiaoyue nodded knowingly and said nothing more.
She took out her books to prepare for class when she suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze.
She turned her head and met Fu Shengyang's eyes.
He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.
His upturned lips and unrestrained smile were so carefree and unruly, much like the school bully who would wait for someone at the classroom door in high school. Who was he trying to scare?
Before she could lip-read him to leave, the professor had already walked in.
An Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Fu Shengyang, and focused her attention on the class.
After the professor entered, he first asked the students to open their textbooks and look at the chapters he would be covering that day. He then turned on his computer, plugged in the hard drive, and prepared to begin the lesson.
With everything ready, the professor suddenly called out to the door, "Hey student outside, aren't you coming in?"
As soon as the professor spoke, the students who had been diligently preparing for their lessons all turned to look at the door.
That's An's bodyguard!
Everyone knew, but no one dared to explain, since the professor had mistaken someone for someone else.
An Xiaoyue thought that Fu Shengyang would offer an explanation.
To everyone's surprise, he swaggered into the classroom.
Fu Shengyang's words this morning:
If I blend in with your classmates, will the professor find out?
It echoed in An Xiaoyue's mind.
Her watery eyes darkened; Fu Shengyang was doing this on purpose.
The professor scanned the classroom, pointed to the empty seat next to An Xiaoyue, and urged Fu Shengyang in a serious tone, "An, please sit down there."
Seeing that Fu Shengyang was empty-handed again, the professor criticized him unhappily, "You didn't even bring your textbook to class!"
Fu Shengyang smiled and said, "I'll be more careful next time."
He happily sat down next to An Xiaoyue, looking rather like he had gotten a good deal but was still acting innocent!
An Xiaoyue's face darkened further.
Whispers filled the classroom.
"An's new bodyguard is so handsome!"
"Exactly! It's so great to marry a rich man!"
"Do you dare to ask for their contact information?"
"Rock, paper, scissors?"
"Hmm~" The professor cleared his throat, interrupting the noisy classroom, "Class is starting!"
As soon as the professor spoke, the classroom of over a hundred people fell silent.
"In the last lesson we talked about pharmacology..."
As the professor began the lesson, An Xiaoyue tried her best to ignore Fu Shengyang's presence beside her.
Just because she ignored him didn't mean Fu Shengyang wouldn't contact her.
He took the pen from her hand, snatched her notebook, and began taking notes in a very professional manner.
An Xiaoyue's cherry-pink lips were pressed tightly together into a line.
Fortunately, Fu Shengyang didn't bother her anymore, so she listened attentively to the lecture and followed the professor's train of thought.
As the sunlight grew stronger, it streamed into the classroom through the large glass windows, casting a bright glow on the desks.
Pharmacology is inherently dry, and professors' lectures are not particularly lively or interesting. Besides pharmacological effects, clinical applications, and contraindications, there are just a bunch of research data and reports.
Seeing the classroom completely silent, with some students clearly lost in thought, the professor decided to increase interaction and get their minds active by asking questions.
"Regarding the relationship between antidepressant medication and clinical psychological counseling, which student would like to share their thoughts?"
As soon as the professor started speaking, most of the students' eyes cleared up, and they sat up straight, showing that they were listening attentively.
The pharmacology professor was very serious in class. If students made even the slightest mistake when answering questions, he would criticize them with a stern face.
The students are aware of the importance of pharmacology in clinical work, so they can understand the professor's high expectations of them.
But nobody wants to be criticized by the professor in front of more than a hundred classmates.
"Since no one raised their hand, I'll just call on someone else."
The professor was all smiles as he spoke, but the students were terrified. They all lowered their heads, afraid to meet his gaze, lest they be the ones called on.
"That student who was late."
As soon as the professor spoke, the hearts of more than a hundred people who had been on the edge of their throats fell back into their chests, and more than two hundred worried eyes turned to the people who entered the classroom after the professor.
The professor is so strict, what would happen if An's bodyguard couldn't answer the question?
Would the professor criticize his star student for not clearly stating the bodyguard's identity beforehand?
Will An's bodyguard get a scolding and be kicked out of the classroom?
Will the strict professor complain to the counselor and ban An from bringing bodyguards onto campus in the future?
Immediately, various guesses surfaced in the students' minds.
When An Xiaoyue saw that the professor was looking in their direction, she knew that the student who was late was Fu Shengyang.
Only Fu Shengyang entered the classroom after the professor.
Now, she has to stand up and bear the consequences of Fu Shengyang's willful actions.
She placed her hands on the chair to prevent it from retracting too loudly when she stood up.
Suddenly, a weight pressed down on her shoulder, pinning her to her seat so she couldn't move.
Fu Shengyang pressed on her shoulder and stood up.
"Regarding the relationship between antidepressant medications and clinical psychological counseling, I have gained some insights from literature in various medical journals, and I personally believe..."
As An Xiaoyue listened to the professional terms and insights Fu Shengyang uttered, her beautiful brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
She would also read the papers that Fu Shengyang mentioned.
This is something medical students have to do.
Only by reading academic papers and journals can one learn about the most advanced research findings in the medical field.
It's just that after Fu Shengyang inputs it, it is then transformed into his thought output.
His brain is such an amazing conduit!
Fu Shengyang spoke eloquently, and the professor wearing thick glasses also stepped down from the podium and stood in front of Fu Shengyang, listening attentively.
Listening to Fu Shengyang's views, he nodded from time to time, and the faint smile on his face already showed that he was very satisfied.
The more Fu Shengyang talked, the more students couldn't understand him.
I know each character individually, so why can't I understand the meaning when they're put together?
Being An's bodyguard is really not easy; she also has to accompany him while he studies medical papers!
After listening, the professor knew that the student's answer was not something a senior medical student should say.
He became suspicious of the student's identity, "Thank you for sharing, what's your name?"
"Professor, he's An's bodyguard, not our classmate," the class monitor spoke up first.
An Xiaoyue also stood up and explained, "Professor, he is my husband, not a bodyguard."
The professor maintains very strict classroom discipline and never allows auditors to attend classes in order to ensure teaching quality.
If Fu Shengyang's identity isn't explained, more and more people will find out that she brought bodyguards into the school.
She doesn't want to be famous again!
