Married to his secret crush

Chapter 125 - Mei’er~

''You are supposed to sit on the same desk as your guardian," Professor Zhang frowned.

''Prof. I caught the flu today so I don't want to infect anyone," Yu Mei nonchalantly answered.

Voice normal? Check. Face normal? Check. Healthy appearance? Double-check.

Moreover, she was sitting with Li Shuang on the same desk a few minutes ago.

So, her sleek lie rendered the fellow students and the Professor speechless along with a certain man who had gray clouds hanging above his head.

Professor Zhang appeared conflicted.

Jun Zixuan stood up from the front desk as his long legs leisurely made their way back to where she was sitting.

Yu Mei did not bother to glance at him while the man took a seat beside her, "I don't mind getting infected," Though his voice was low, it seemed to be reverberating in the eerily quiet classroom.

While the girls bit their handkerchief in jealousy, the guys were aggrieved as they watched a wild man flirting with their goddess.

They could assume that both of them were siblings if they didn't know the Yu's Family chart. Moreover, the way they were interacting didn't seem to be that of siblings.

On the other hand, they could also have assumed that he was her rumored sugar daddy but after interacting with her for months, they couldn't merge the image of Yu Mei and a mistress.

Yu Mei stood up but Jun Zixuan quickly held her hand before she could leave the desk.

The students gasped.

''Since your guardian has no issues with your flu, we'll go with the rules. Sit there," Professor Zhang cleared her throat.

'Aren't you acting biased?' She glanced at the Prof. who immediately averted her gaze before looking at a certain guardian who flashed her a charming smile.

She swatted away his hand and sat on the desk, further away from him.

Since the Prof. would discuss the mark sheets roll number wise, there was some time for her turn.

While she kept sliding away, a certain some inched closer to her. She put her bag in between them creating a barrier, but the man's hand sneaked to her side and held her hand as he intertwined their fingers.

Her heart skipped a beat but she ignored it.

''Leave my hand," She whispered.

''I won't,'' He tightened his grip as if he was proving his point.

She pursed her lips, "Let go of my hand or I don't mind walking out of the classroom right now," Her voice turning a degree colder.

"Or we can walk out together?" He winked.

The corner of her lips twitched.

His hold on her remained firm while his thumb drew irregular shapes on her hand.

It was so ticklish that her toes curled up while she fisted the corner of her dress in her other other hand but she refused to say anything.

Jun Zixuan propped the side of his face on his fist as his gaze remained fixated on the person who was adamant about not looking at him.

''Mei…"

No response.

"Mei.."

No response once again.

"Mei'er~"

Her eyes widened slightly. How could he call her like that? But she did not look at him.

''Ah Mei…" He called out in a voice filled with adoration, his tone going a pitch higher, getting the attention of the students and professor.

Just when they thought Professor Zhang would reprimand them, she proved them wrong, acting as if that desk did not exist at all.

While the students got reprimanded one by one by their guardians and professor, two people were immersed in a world of their own.

Yu Mei pressed her finger on his mouth just when he was about to say something again.

''What will take it for you to shut up?" Everyone's attention was on them, that was not what she wanted.

As she removed her finger from his lips, he paused for a moment, thinking about something while his grip on her hand did not loosen, "Mei…Are you angry?" His voice had a hint of indecisiveness as if he wasn't sure whether he should ask it or not.

A sarcastic smile made its way to her lips.

''Was I supposed to hug you in happiness after being kicked out of your mansion?"

"No. That's not…"

The mocking smile on her face disappeared as she interrupted him, "Or should I pretend it was nothing after being humiliated by your servants and being treated like a stray dog their Master has taken fancy to who was finally kicked out. I may not say it out but that doesn't mean I am blind and can't see anything."

"I have…" He opened his mouth to speak only to be interrupted by her, ''I don't want to talk about anything anymore. The next roll no is mine. I'll be glad if you can properly play your 'guardian' role.''

Professor Zhang walked towards them holding?the mark sheet in her hand. She nodded at Jun Zixuan and passed the mark sheet to him.

Without letting go of her hand which he was holding under the desk, he grabbed the mark sheet with his other hand.

His eyebrow raised subtly when his gaze landed on the marks of all the class tests that have taken place after the university had reopened.

She was not good at studies before but he has long thrown away that old report about her. Since the day she woke up from the coma, he knew he had to re-evaluate this woman and the reports might not help him in that.

He then glanced at the overall marks of all the class tests.

98 points in Physic, 91 in Chemistry, 99 in Mathematics, 81 points in English, and…

23 marks in Chinese.

The sight of her Chinese scores made him chuckle.

The students glanced at him weirdly. Did this guardian get a big shock after looking at their goddess' almost perfect marks?

On the other hand, only Professor Zhang and Yu Mei noticed the reason behind his laughter as his gaze was stuck to the Chinese result.
