Bai Ruan was afraid that Lang Jing Feng would tease him again, so he lowered his head, pointed at his schoolbag, and diverted the topic. “Did you bring your language books?”

“Of course,” Lang Jing Feng opened his schoolbag. “I’ve finished memorising all those that require memory work.” After a pause, with a smile in his eyes, he seized the opportunity to emphasise the connection between marriage and learning. “I haven’t been memorising texts for a few years. Every time, as soon as laziness strikes, I think of how you would compliment me if I completed it and would instantly be motivated to continue.”

Bai Ruan heard that there was some reasoning in his words, kept his mouth shut, and silently thought about things.

Divination was the fate of people, but “life” and “luck” were actually separated. Life was an indestructible frame, while luck was a fluid, changing filler within the frame. Unless forcibly intervened by spells, a person’s life would rarely change, but luck would change depending on one’s environment, mentality, and personality.

Earthly Love Luck1 falls under the category of life. Lang Jing Feng was destined to do well in his studies due to love within these two years. Forcibly blocking his marriage or failing to have this marriage would delay his future prospects. This could not be changed.

However, the movement of the Red Luan Star was a sign of luck. It just meant that the possibility of falling in love would increase significantly in the coming days. Whether there was a marriage fate between two people included the possibility that the two people were likely to be together. However, it was not certain. If the person adamantly decided not to fall in love, even if there was movement from the Red Luan Star, their luck would gradually disappear.

Bai Ruan pondered carefully, thinking that his current marriage luck with Lang Jing Feng had been implicated. If he were to immediately cut off all of Lang Jing Feng’s thoughts, he would definitely harm him. He was allowed to not respond, cooperate, or accept. Eighteen, nineteen year old boys were mostly fickle-minded, and may not hang on to the same tree. When Lang Jing Feng’s impulse passed, their marriage luck may gradually fade away. In this way, Lang Jing Feng might slowly begin like others.

Going about it in this way would also comply with Lang Jing Feng’s fate, but it might change from “studying hard because I like the teacher” to “studying hard because I want to enter a university with my favourite classmates”.

Bai Ruan thought for a while, silently clenching his fists, and determined to treat the wolf cub coldly.

Even if I, Bai Ruan, am lonely, die outside, or jump out of the car, I’ll never fall in love with Lang Jing Feng!

He even wanted to find a gentle and beautiful little female rabbit. Two fluffy fur balls stuck together, rubbing their tails against each other. Thinking about it, he felt warm.

“I’ll test your interpretation of ancient Chinese.” Bai Ruan said flatly. He spread the language books in the space between the two, dragged his shirt sleeves down to wrap around his hands, and turned over the sheets in the language book that was full of Lang Jing Feng’s demonic energy.

Lang Jing Feng was annoyed and amused at the same time. “Just a touch and you can get pregnant?”

Not listening, not listening. This wolf cub is spouting nonsense… Bai Ruan silently recited his mantra to suppress his anger, and said vaguely, “Your book is fully covered with your energy. Being a little bit infected is the same as being completely infected.”

“Then, do you usually check my homework and papers this way?” Lang Jing Feng asked.

Bai Ruan revealed an exhausted expression. “Ever since you transferred here, the constant supply of disposable gloves in the drawer of my desk has not stopped.”

Lang Jing Feng exhaled heavily and realised the importance of quickly learning to conceal his demon energy.

“Let’s not talk about this… 安帝雅闻衡善术学, what does the word “雅” mean?2” Bai Ruan asked, his face stretched, and there was no smile at all.

Lang Jing felt helpless. “From the word 素常, so 雅闻3 means often heard.”

Just like that, the two of them went through the ancient Chinese interpretation test on the way back to school. Lang Jing Feng could get eight out of ten words, and Bai Ruan’s heavy heart was greatly relieved. Whatever he did, at least during this time Lang Jing Feng was really willing to learn things.

Bai Ruan felt that he might be suffering from an occupational disease. In any case, whenever he was depressed, the improvement of the students he taught would always make him feel better.

Two and a half days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two and a half days, Bai Ruan had deliberately avoided Lang Jing Feng and did not appear in the classroom at all except for the self-study inspections stipulated by the school.

In addition, Bai Ruan always went to the toilet for ten minutes after class ended, preventing Lang Jing Feng from coming to the office to look for him when class was over. In an even more precautionary measure, he would go to the men’s toilet of the first year downstairs to avoid meeting Lang Jing Feng when he relieved himself. When it was time to go home, Bai Ruan would slip away faster than anyone else. He did not respond to Lang Jing Feng’s texts on WeChat or answer his phone calls, vowing to carry out the cold treatment to the end so as to let the wolf pup retreat.

This was not considered as hitting the Mandarin Ducks. Bai Ruan blindly analysed that at best, to treat it as if the mandarin duck4 was busy with work, and there was no time to take care of its partner5.

During self-study on a Thursday afternoon, Bai Ruan was in the office. He was immersed in preparing for classes, when he suddenly heard a bang on the door.

As soon as Bai Ruan raised his eyes, he saw a familiar scene- Liu Zhen pulling Lang Jing Feng’s tie and dragging him into the office like a disobedient little wolf dog.

As soon as Lang Jing Feng entered the door, he gave Bai Ruan a fierce look and the corners of his lips curled up in an unkind arc.

Bai Ruan sighed and was about to escape, when Liu Zhen took the little wolf pup to Bai Ruan’s table in stride, blew his beard and glared and complained to the other, “Teacher Bai, look at your class’s young master. A while ago, he had finally begun to behave a bit more appropriately. But within these two days, he started to go back to his old ways, not handing in homework and sleeping during lessons. I’ve told him to make up for the homework he didn’t complete and he still dared to talk back to me, saying that I’m only a subject teacher. Ah, that my words do not carry any weight and he needs the homeroom teacher to look at him. Only then is he willing to do his work! So, Teacher Bai, trouble you to watch him for me. I can’t control him!”

Liu Zhen always had the habit of letting students who didn’t hand in homework to come to the office to complete them during the self-study period, and loved to complain to their homeroom teachers. Lang Jing Feng obviously knew about this.

Bai Ruan suddenly had a headache. He hurriedly lectured Lang Jing Feng with a few words and then comforted Liu Zhen, fearing that the old man could not hold back his anger. Lang Jing Feng stood by with his hands in his pocket and watched the show.

“If I were to see you sleeping during my math lesson the next time, you will stand at the back of the classroom for every math class for this whole semester!” Liu Zhen slammed Bai Ruan’s desk and snarled.

Like the fox using the tiger’s power6, Bai Ruan banged the table, and said angrily, “Yes. If you continue to sleep during math lessons, you will stand at the back of the class.”

Lang Jing Feng’s tone was calm as he replied, “I didn’t mean to, Teacher Bai. These days, I’ve been staying up until four in the morning.”

“Why are you staying up so late?” Liu Zhen squinted at him.

Lang Jing Feng replied truthfully, “I practice meditation.”

Bai Ruan, “…”

Liu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then became extremely angry. “What nonsense!7“

Lang Jing Feng became elated. “It’s true, Teacher Liu. I have to practice for a week.”

The wig on Liu Zhen’s head was aroused by the anger that almost went straight to the sky as he yelled, “Your nonsense is going round in circles!8“

Bai Ruan almost laughed, and Lang Jingfeng didn’t turn his face to laugh.

“Laughing? You write a reflection essay for me!” Liu Zhen almost shattered Bai Ruan’s desk with palm after palm, hitting the table. “Write a three thousand word essay. Carefully describe the peerless divine art you are cultivating, and then write about your inner strength and mental method. I will also be immersed in practising with our hero Lang, okay? Since I cannot do anything about you, you’ll write it right here with your homeroom teacher!”

Bai Ruan’s face collapsed, and his smile disappeared instantly.

“You still owe me two days of math homework. Teacher Bai, watch over this fellow for me.” Liu Zhen flicked Lang Jing Feng’s math workbook on Bai Ruan’s desk and turned away angrily.

Bai Ruan, who was like a dried salted fish on his desk9. “…”

Lang Jing Feng took a pen from Bai Ruan’s desk and said leisurely, “Teacher Bai, lend me a piece of paper to write the reflection essay.”

Bai Ruan reluctantly gave him a blank piece of paper.

Lang Jing Feng bit his lip, wrote two large characters on the paper and pushed it in front of Bai Ruan. “Avoiding me?”

“No,” Bai Ruan shook his head and whispered, “Quickly complete your math homework.”

Lang Jing Feng said with a sullen face, “Cold treatment? You thought it would be fine to ignore me and wait for a few days for my interest to die down, right?”

Bai Ruan’s thoughts were all exposed. There was no way to refute, so he simply ignored him.

Lang Jing Feng wasn’t annoyed after he didn’t get a response, and continued to write. “Before this Monday, your trick might have worked.”

Bai Ruan blinked and slowly drew a question mark on the paper.

At this time, the noon self-study period bell rang, and the homeroom teachers got up and left the office to inspect their classes. Just like the last time, only Lang Jing Feng and Bai Ruan were left in the office. The only difference was that this time Bai Ruan was not that afraid of Lang Jing Feng.

It was not only due to the power of the Talisman. Bai Ruan felt that Lang Jing Feng’s demonic energy was much weaker compared to three days ago.

Lang Jing Feng put the pen aside, smiled slowly, and said, “Who asked you to be a hero and save the beauty? I really have fallen for you.”

Bai Ruan coughed awkwardly, didn’t dare to refuse and forced himself to play Tai Chi10. “Let’s not talk about this. You should pay attention to completing your homework and writing the reflection essay… I’ll give you another piece of paper, so don’t make Teacher Liu angry anymore.”

“Don’t tell me that,” Lang Jing Feng moved a little closer to Bai Ruan. With a smile in his voice, he jokingly said, “If you dare to save me, you have to marry me. You took off my clothes to find a snake, and then after taking it off, you ran away? You already have seen everything. Now that I can’t be married off, shouldn’t you be responsible for me?”

“You’re really something…” Bai Ruan almost laughed at Lang Jing Feng’s shameless remarks, and unknowingly followed his logic to retort, “My Master and uncle have also seen you naked. You should ask them to take responsibility.”

Lang Jing Feng was surprised. “Aren’t they responsible for each other? It’s none of my business.”

Bai Ruan was startled and did not dare to say a word. “…”

He actually saw through it!

“In any case, my fate is now in your hands. Just like how my entire being is yours.” Lang Jing Feng gently nudged Bai Ruan’s shoulder with his elbow, “You have to take it even if you don’t want it.”

Bai Ruan’s heart suddenly tightened. He lowered his eyes and repeatedly emphasised, “I don’t like males. Besides, you are my student…”

“Teacher Bai,” Lang Jing Feng was selectively deaf and moved away from the subject. “Why didn’t you hide when I touched you just now?”

“Ah.” Bai Ruan realised that Lang Jing Feng had touched him with his elbow just now, but because the amount of demon energy was too little, and there were two layers of clothes, Bai Ruan did not notice it the first time. “You’ve been practising?”

Lang Jing Feng touched him again. “I’ve been practising every day until four in the morning. Did you think I was joking?”

Bai Ruan was still a little uncomfortable. He shrank to the nearby window, and sternly said, “This kind of thing is not urgent. You have to ensure adequate time for sleep and study first. Don’t lose the main goal because of small gains.”

“How can it not be urgent?” Lang Jing Feng licked his lower lip. “I’m still waiting to completely finish it so that I can properly kiss you.”

The author has something to say: 　　

【Small Theater 1】

Lang Jing Crazy: Bouncy Bai, if you have the ability to save me, you have the ability to marry me! Don’t hide in there and be silent, I know you are at home! 

【Small Theater 2】

Bai Ruan Ruan at this time: Even if I, Bai Ruan, died of old age alone, and jumped out of the car, I will never fall in love with Lang Jing Feng!

Future Bai Ruan Ruan: Really fragrant.
