Chapter 114: 82. His desire is about to overwhelm his self-control_4
Shi Nian suddenly realized and stuck out her tongue.
"The professor thinks of everything. Okay, let’s start the exam."
He actually sat down earnestly, his finger pointing toward the circle of empty seats: "From the choice of seats, which of the 19 people are you most interested in? In other words, who was the first to draw your suspicious attention under these conditions?"
.
Shi Nian turned to look at the circle of empty seats, slightly closing her eyes to recall the positions and gestures of those 19 people.
In today’s class, S was the most noticed; followed by Zhong Kui who mingled with S, also caught her attention; and, later, Spicy Girl who gave her a typical disdainful look...
But Shi Nian still shook her head, finally focusing on one person.
She slowly opened her eyes and said firmly, "Mark."
.
His eyebrows raised high, clearly surprised as well.
But then he immediately broke into a big smile.
"Hmm, tell me, why did you notice him first?"
In the vast classroom, he sat while she stood, really like a teacher testing a student. Such a relative position made her feel quite passive.
She couldn’t help but glare at him: "Actually, before Mark, I was full of doubts about you, Professor!"
"Oh?" He wasn’t surprised; instead, his smile grew wider: "Why?"
She clenched her fist at her side: "It’s still about Zhou Guanghan’s case! You were already a professor at Kangchuan University, and Zhou Guanghan was already your student, so you didn’t know him only after he died, you knew him long ago!"
Shi Nian grew angrier: "But you never revealed a bit of this to me!"
He laughed, his long eyes curving joyfully like a clear spring: "I didn’t deliberately hide it from you; it’s just that you never asked."
Shi Nian glared with wide eyes.
Yes, she never asked because she never thought of it!
She gritted her teeth: "Any reasoning requires a fair premise. I never received any resource conditions about you and Zhou Guanghan before this, how could I deduce it?"
He laughed even more happily: "Not so. In fact, I gave you the conditions, and you clearly noticed, but unfortunately misthought it."
Shi Nian was stunned: "When?"
He shrugged leisurely: "That day when you entered the dormitory to see Sean, I was standing by the corridor downstairs. When I greeted the students coming and going, I saw you just happened to look out from the open window. You must have seen that clearly, how could you still not see that I already knew them?"
Shi Nian was practically in tears...
She did see it. But—she really did misinterpret it.
"Alright, I admit I was wrong." She bit her lip, couldn’t help but shake her hand in annoyance.
He chuckled lightly: "Are you a bit more willing to be my student now, hmm?"
Shi Nian stuck out her tongue quietly: "I didn’t say I wasn’t convinced."
"Liar." He laughed happily, his voice like harp strings.

After exchanging views with Tang Yanqing, Shi Nian walked back to the dormitory.
At this time, others still had classes, so the dormitory was quiet.
Walking up the stairs, passing the public balcony at the end of each corridor, she suddenly heard the sound of an argument from inside. Shi Nian instinctively turned to look.
Hidden behind a row of green plants, it wasn’t clear who it was. But from the voices, she could tell it was two girls.
It was precisely for this reason that those two chose this place to argue, right?
The more they argued, the fiercer it became. She heard one girl say angrily: "The person he talked about must be you! Do I not know what kind of person you are? Riding on Sean’s support, you’ve gradually even stopped paying me any surface respect. Why, just because you’re both Chinese, you think he should be better with you?"
Shi Nian frowned.
Queen S.
The other voice was also unwilling to show weakness: "Why, just because you’re called a queen, does everyone have to listen to you? The entire dormitory, must everyone bow to you? Marina is so, Zhong Kui is so, but I refuse to be so!"
Shi Nian couldn’t help but feel tense: the voice was Spicy Girl’s.

[Why did Shi Nian suspect Mark? Do you all think the trouble will revolve around Spicy Girl or S now, or someone else? Haha, place your bets~~ Regular updates during May Day, let’s celebrate Labor Day. See you tomorrow.]
