Chapter 175: Like Him

She took a step back and shook her head.

“No, I was just thinking about something else.”

Her heart was beating loudly, her blood pulsing in her eardrums strongly.

She felt as if she was in a vacuum, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Lu Huaiyu noticed her tilted head and lowered face, which only allowed him to see the high bridge of her nose and long eyelashes.

He raised a brow slightly at her unusual reaction.

He was right in front of her, so what could possibly have distracted her thoughts?

“Brother Xiyue and Mr. Zhou are still downstairs. Let’s go,” Ning Li said.

Lu Huaiyu put his hands in his pockets and looked at her. “Okay.”

…

Footsteps from the stairs caught Cheng Xiyue and Zhou Fei’s attention.

They turned to the stairs to find Lu Huaiyu coming down the stairs, as Ning Li followed carrying her bag.

Dissatisfied, Zhou Fei complained, “What took you so long? Do you have any idea how precious my student’s time is?”

Lu Huaiyu looked at his watch. “Has it been that long? How come you guys are still here?”

Zhou Fei was left speechless and Cheng Xiyue scoffed at him.

Zhou Fei should know that he could never challenge Lu Huaiyu.

He smiled and waved at Ning Li. “Little Ning Li, it’s almost lunchtime. Why don’t you join us for lunch?”

Stunned, Ning Li said, “Uh…Can I say no?”

Having lunch with the three of them?

Cheng Xiyue had a sudden realization. “Oh, I know. You don’t want to have lunch with Zhou Fei, right? I understand. It will be just the three of us then. Zhou Fei can have lunch on his own.”

Zhou Fei tossed his phone onto the couch. “Hey! What is the meaning of this?”

“Isn’t it obvious? A teacher having lunch with a student is too much pressure. What if Little Ning Li gets indigestion?”

“You!”

Zhou Fei leaned back on the couch with his hands laid back and legs crossed.

“Have you ever seen such a handsome teacher? It’s not that I want to be boastful, but the girls in our school are fascinated with me.”

He was speaking the truth. He was young, only a few years older than the high-schoolers. He was handsome and taught his lessons in an open-minded way.

It was safe to say that he was the most popular teacher in school.

“Oh, really?” Lu Huaiyu paused and turned to Ning Li. There was a faint smile on his lips.

His question had been directed at Ning Li.

Ning Li was two steps behind him but due to the sudden pause, she almost bumped into his back.

He was tall. Even though Ning Li was two steps up behind him, she was still only up to his height.

His sudden turn had surprised her, causing her to grip the rail tightly.

She felt a little nervous as she met his deep gaze.

She averted her gaze and said, “Mr. Zhou is quite popular at school.”

Lu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes. His aura somehow seemed to grow colder.
