When someone asked that, everyone’s gazes turned to stare at Zi Yi.

The male student next to Zi Yi was instantly excited. “Are you Zi Yi?”

Zi Yi pursed her lips under the mask. Was it so hard for her to finish listening to a lecture in a low-profile manner?

Just then, Lu Jingye’s serious voice sounded. “Students, are you here to listen to my lecture or to look at people? If it’s the latter, please go out.”

His words caused everyone to move their attention away from Zi Yi.

“Professor Lu, we are here to listen to the lecture.”

Zi Yi was an M.Uni student and there would be chances for them to see her. On the other hand, they would rarely get to see Professor Lu, maybe only once a year. In particular, all his lectures were very useful, and so was there still a need for them to choose which was more insignificant?

Everyone started listening to the lecture seriously.

Zi Yi looked at the tall man standing straight at the podium with a smile. She found that his serious appearance looked very handsome.

The lecture ended soon afterwards. Zi Yi sat there and waited for everyone to leave before she did.

Before the male student,who was seated next to her, left, he asked, “Student, so are you Zi Yi or not?”

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and asked instead of answering, “What do you think?”

The male student glanced at Lu Jingye who was surrounded by students asking him questions and shook his head. “I don’t think so. If you were Zi Yi, you would have come openly. What’s more, Zi Yi is currently doing a project with Professor Dou and so how could she possibly have time to come here?”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “What you said makes sense.”

The male student treated it as if she had admitted that she wasn’t Zi Yi, and only then did he take his leave.

The majority of the people asking questions had lessons after this and so they left soon after.

However, some of the students continued surrounding Lu Jingye without leaving. Zi Yi noticed that among them were two rather good-looking female students. They didn’t ask any questions and instead, they were like her who sat there without leaving.

Zi Yi did not say anything at the sight of this. She simply took out her phone, wore her earphones, and started surfing the web.

It was not known how long had passed. When Zi Yi sensed someone standing in front of her; she subconsciously looked up.

Lu Jingye leaned down toward her. The first thing he did was to remove her mask, the earphones in her ears, then the phone in her hands and placed it in her pocket. In the end, one of his hands supported his weight on the chair while he leaned in and looked at her with a serious gaze.

Zi Yi blinked her beautiful pair of eyes and looked at him in a slightly dazed manner.

“You seem to have had a nice chat with the guy who was seated next to you just now?”

“…”

Zi Yi opened her mouth and originally wanted to explain, when all of a sudden, she suddenly understood something. The corner of her lips curved up and she asked, “Professor Lu, are you jealous?”

Lu Jingye unexpectedly gave an affirmative response after staring into her eyes for a few seconds.

The smile on Zi Yi’s face deepened. She raised her hand and put her arm around his neck, pulling him closer to her. When both of them were in close proximity, she said, “Professor Lu, I feel a little wronged.”

Following that, she stuck out her tongue and licked his lips.

Lu Jingye’s body stiffened and he hastily moved back as he educated her. “This is the school grounds. There could be students or teachers walking past at any time.”

Having said that, he was about to straighten his back but Zi Yi held his neck without letting go, and said with a smile, “I heard them saying that those seated in the first row are either high achievers or female students who have a crush on you.”

Having said that, she bumped her head against his forehead and said fiercely, “You are a male version of a femme fatale.”

Lu Jingye suddenly chuckled at her words.

His voice originally sounded steady and gentle and coupled with that gentle laugh, it was so magnetic and bewitching. Zi Yi could not help but stand up and kiss him on the lips.

However, at that moment, there was a sound from the door.

Lu Jingye quickly pressed Zi Yi’s head into his embrace and turned around to look at the door.

A male student’s embarrassed stutter sounded. “Lu… Professor Lu. I didn’t know you were still here. I… I’m here to take the book I forgot to take.”

Lu Jingye responded with a nod and released Zi Yi as he put the mask back on her face. At the same time, he pulled her hand and said, “Come in.”

Having said that, he held Zi Yi’s hand and headed to the door.

When the three of them brushed past each other, the male student asked Zi Yi with a red face, “So you’re really Zi Yi?”

Zi Yi’s eyes slightly curved into crescent moons and she nodded at him, before she left hand in hand with Lu Jingye.

The male student subconsciously watched their back profiles as they went out. Sometime later, he scratched his head and whispered to himself, “Did I interrupt them?”

…

After Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made their way out, Zi Yi looked at his side profile and asked, “Where are you going later?”

Lu Jingye originally wanted to release her hand, but when he saw that she wasn’t paying attention to the road, he held her hands tighter as he asked, “Where do you want to go?”

Zi Yi looked at the time. “I want to make a trip to the Archaeology Department first. Following that, I’ll have dinner at the third canteen. The steamed fish there is delicious and I feel like eating it.”

Lu Jingye looked at her shining eyes. In fact, he still had tons of work to complete, but he was reluctant to leave her alone at school. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’ll go to the School of Finance to have a talk with the Dean about something. Following that, I’ll go grab dinner with you.”

Zi Yi nodded while smiling. “I’ll give you a call then.”

“Ok.”

Both of them walked side by side and they immediately became the focus of attention.

As for those who were guessing if the female student wearing a mask was Zi Yi or not, some of them immediately understood after they saw them walking hand in hand.

“As expected of the goddess. I didn’t expect that she would come to listen to Professor Lu’s lecture.”

“I wonder what they were thinking about earlier when they pretended not to know each other.”

“This is called romance alright. No wonder I was thinking how Professor Lu’s gaze would subconsciously look in that direction from time to time. So it turns out, he was looking at Zi Yi.”

“How romantic~”

“However, why is the goddess wearing a mask? I want to see her beautiful face.”

…

Lu Jingye left only after he sent Zi Yi to the Archaeology Department.

Zi Yi directly made her way to the professors’ office.

By the time she came out of the office, it was already an hour later. She had had a chat with some professors about archaeology.

Zi Yi was particularly interested in Earth’s culture. Especially because during the interstellar era, it had confirmed that there was a connection between galaxies and reincarnation. At present, the evidence of reincarnation was best preserved in ancient Earth and she wanted to find out what the civilization of the ancient times looked like.

When she made her way out, Zi Yi borrowed several books on archaeology from the professors. She went out of the office building and pressed her watch along the way. She was planning to inform Lu Jingye that she was done.

After she finished contacting him, she suddenly saw a tall guy heading in her direction.

The male student was wearing glasses and had short hair. He wore a T-shirt with a denim jacket over the top. The jacket was rolled up to his forearms, revealing his wheat-colored skin. He looked rather handsome and had an upright and extraordinary temperament, but he had a taut expression as he came walking over.

He came up to Zi Yi and stood upright. After sizing her up, he asked, “Are you Zi Yi?”
