The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 73 One Last Drink

Zhang Muchen stood on the main stage, explaining the key points. Three beautiful girls below listened attentively, heads down, taking notes.

After speaking for almost an hour, Zhang Muchen felt his throat was getting dry.

He coughed lightly to relieve his discomfort, then lowered his head and continued explaining.

However, just as he was doodling and marking important points on the test paper, a sound of a chair scraping against the floor rang out, which was then immediately covered by a series of light footsteps.

Wang Shishi walked to the front of the podium, holding a pink thermos in her hand, and gently placed it on the podium.

"Dude, have some water, you've been coughing several times." Wang Shishi smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Oh, thank you."

Zhang Muchen's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the water bottle, a pink thermos with a cute cartoon sticker on the outside.

He didn't pick up the water glass immediately, but stared at it for a long time. Wang Shishi tilted her head and chuckled, "Hey buddy, drink up, I don't mind."

Zhang Muchen looked up and glanced at her: "What good is it if you don't mind? It's me who looks down on you."

"."

Wang Shishi waved her fist: "Dude, go to hell!"

From below the stage, Chu Youting watched the two playfully teasing each other.

Her gaze fell on the pink thermos.

"It's the thermos that Sister Shishi drank from; it's 'imported'."

Chu Youting is slightly sensitive to the word "imported".

On stage, Zhang Muchen picked up his water glass and took a sip. But as he drank, his gaze fell on Chu Youting, who was looking at him.

In an instant, Chu Youting's and Zhang Muchen's eyes met. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head to stare at her notebook.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He quickly pulled out his phone and quietly sent Chu Youting a WeChat message, the words carrying a hint of flirtation.

Imported water tastes so sweet! Will I be able to drink imported water from Little Grapefruit next time?

He quietly observed Chu Youting's reaction.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Youting saw the WeChat message on her phone screen, her head, which had been hanging low, drooped even further, and her cheeks immediately turned bright red.

"Youting, your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Jiuli noticed her sister's unusual behavior and her gaze fell on Chu Youting's face.

Chu Youting trembled, her blush deepening, and she hurriedly explained, "No, no, the room is just too hot, too hot."

Seeing this, Zhang Muchen tried hard to suppress the upward curve of the corners of his mouth.

Gee tut.

It was so funny to see the older sister secretly teasing her younger sister.

Zhang Muchen, standing on the podium, shifted his posture and cleared his throat: "I'll stop here for now. You'll have 10 minutes to do some reading comprehension. After you're done, I'll continue."

He had barely finished speaking when Liu Wuyang called him on WeChat video.

Zhang Muchen was stunned for a moment.

"Is Sister Yang calling to check if I went to the bar?"

He walked out of room 703 and found a quiet place to answer the phone.

On the screen, Liu Wuyang was wearing her signature white shirt as always, with the top two buttons slightly undone, revealing a section of her fair collarbone.

"Where are you?" Liu Wuyang's deep eyes stared straight at Zhang Muchen.

Zhang Muchen leaned against the wall and smiled faintly: "Sister Yang, your tone right now sounds like a husband checking up on his wife while she's away."

"."

Liu Wuyang touched her forehead.

The student making fried dough sticks couldn't have a serious conversation with him for even a second.

“Zhang Muchen, I was originally going to give you a chance to visit the lab, but you didn’t appreciate it,” Liu Wuyang said seriously.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow and immediately put on a playful smile: "Oh, Sister Yang, don't be angry. I was just making a little joke to lighten the mood."

Liu Wuyang snorted lightly, not intending to argue with him.

After all, if we really want to hold grudges, this student's misdeeds are simply too numerous to count. "I'm currently in contact with the laboratory team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Their lab has just been established, and they've offered me a tour spot. If you're free this Saturday or Sunday, you can come to the capital and experience the forefront of science and technology," Liu Wuyang said.

"A number of tour slots?" Zhang Muchen's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He had already guessed that Liu Wuyang was going to the capital to contact the experimental team, but he didn't expect that Liu Wuyang would invite him to visit as well.

Looking at Zhang Muchen's expression, Liu Wuyang raised an eyebrow: "What? Not interested?"

Zhang Muchen shrugged: "Not interested."

"."

"However," he changed the subject with a chuckle, "although I'm not interested in visiting the lab, I am very interested in visiting the lab with Sister Yang."

"."

"Sister Yang, do you also feel bored being there alone and want me to keep you company?"

"No need, I can live two more years without you." Liu Wuyang snorted coldly.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a woman who says one thing but means another.

"By the way, if you come, I need to inform your parents, since it's quite a long journey to the capital," Liu Wuyang said.

Zhang Muchen shook his head: "Sister Yang, no need. My parents are very open-minded. If they knew I went out with Sister Yang, they would only think I'm very successful, able to spend two days and one night with a beautiful woman."

Before Zhang Muchen could finish speaking, the screen suddenly switched to a chat window with Liu Wuyang.

The other end of the WeChat call ended.

"Depend on"

Zhang Muchen cursed.

"Woman, you can't even withstand my power?"

Meanwhile, inside the business hotel,

Liu Wuyang stared at her phone through gritted teeth.

She had already given Zhang Muchen a chance, but the kid was still unrepentant and actually flirted with her again on the phone.

She angrily threw her phone onto the sofa.

"This guy, really..."

This kid talks nonsense all the time. Sometimes I really want to whip him, but I'm afraid he'll say it's a reward.

Liu Wuyang leaned back on the sofa, her fingers lightly crossed in front of her chest, her gaze drifting to the dazzling night view outside the window.

Her gaze pierced through the glass, blending into the streets of the city.

The neon lights twinkled like stars, illuminating the night like a flowing oil painting.

She stood up and walked to the window.

"But to be honest, if this brat really comes to the capital, he might become a bit more interesting," Liu Wuyang murmured softly.

Her fingertips unconsciously traced the cold, hard surface of the glass as she gazed down at the glittering street below.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

Director Wang sent a message.

[Teacher Liu, are you really sure about this?]

Liu Wuyang tapped the screen with her slender hand: [Director Wang, thank you for your care this past year. I've made up my mind; I want to resign.]

After sending the message, Liu Wuyang locked her phone screen.

Her gaze pierced through the lively atmosphere downstairs, gradually settling on a prominent bar sign in the distance.

The neon lights swayed gently in the night breeze, shimmering with dazzling light. They were like the pulse of the city, carrying an intense allure.

Liu Wuyang squinted slightly, making the beauty mark under her eye look especially beautiful.

"If you can come, it would be nice to have one last drink with the teacher."
