Liu Yan stared at Zhou Hong, furious. She absolutely didn't believe Zhou Hong truly didn't recognize it; she assumed he was deliberately playing dumb to humiliate her.
"To be your ring, alright?" Liu Yan said.
"Ring?" Zhou Hong was puzzled for a moment.
He immediately threaded his finger through the center, and the object was pulled out by his finger.
"Huh!" Zhou Hong felt a wave of confusion.
Zhou Hong pulled it again, and this time, the object stretched even longer.
"What a magical thing! It was just a small circular piece earlier, I didn't expect it to stretch into such a long, small bag," Zhou Hong mused to himself, standing there engrossed in examining it, completely oblivious to the gazes of his classmates.
Liu Yan had already run off at some point.
Seeing no apparent danger in the item, Zhou Hong didn't bother her further. Though, his mind was filled with questions: what exactly did Liu Yan want by bringing this to him?
"Ring-ring-ring!" Just then, the class bell rang again.
This class was also taught by Yang Xi, as it was a consecutive period.
Yang Xi returned to the classroom, spotting Zhou Hong still standing by the door, fiddling with something in his hand. She called out with a hint of confusion, "Student Zhou Hong, class has started, what are you doing?"
"Heh heh, Teacher Yang, I just wanted to ask you something." Zhou Hong walked up with a smile. He didn't know what the object was, but asking Yang Xi would clarify things. Then, he'd see whatever scheme Liu Yan was up to. Su Dan Novel Network.
"What do you want to ask me?" Yang Xi looked a bit puzzled.
Zhou Hong immediately brought out the object.
"Ah!" Yang Xi's face instantly changed, and she froze, seemingly in disbelief that Zhou Hong would produce such a thing right in front of her. For a moment, Yang Xi's body trembled.
"Teacher Yang, I wanted to ask, have you seen this before?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile.
All the students in the class were petrified.
Bold, never had they seen anyone so audacious! To hold something like this, pretend ignorance, and walk up to the beautiful teacher to ask if she'd seen it.
This was outright teasing!
Who in the world would dare? Waiting online.
Yet today, they witnessed Zhou Hong dare. How incredibly bold was that.
"Zhou Hong, you...!" Yang Xi pouted, feigning anger. Of course, she wasn't truly angry, but Zhou Hong had put her in a rather awkward position.
"Teacher Yang, just tell me, what is this thing, and what's it for?"
"Zhou Hong, stop it," Yang Xi stamped her foot in exasperation, looking at Zhou Hong, a mix of shyness and anger on her face.
"Teacher Yang, didn't you say yourself that if you don't understand something, you can ask me? Could it be that you haven't seen this thing either?"
Yang Xi looked at Zhou Hong, not knowing what to say. Sometimes, she truly couldn't figure him out. What was he doing? Was he teasing her? But why had he never said "I like you" or anything similar? In any case, she was completely baffled.
"Could it be edible?" Zhou Hong muttered in confusion. He then pinched the ring of the object and slowly brought it to his mouth.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, it's bitter!" Zhou Hong spat it out quickly.
"Student Zhou Hong, stop fooling around. Hurry back to your seat, I need to start class." Yang Xi said, her voice becoming slightly more stern.
"Okay."
Although Zhou Hong hadn't gotten an answer, it didn't matter. If Teacher Yang didn't know, someone else would. He was determined to figure out what Liu Yan was trying to do to him.
Zhou Hong returned to his seat and sat down.
Yang Xi stood on the podium, her face flushed red.
The students in the class now only had deep admiration for Zhou Hong. The "Number One Wolf," truly lived up to his name.
At this moment, Qiao Xiaoyu said indignantly, "This hooligan, he's gone too far, even daring to tease Teacher Yang."
"Alas, I didn't expect him to do something like this either. You've seen his thick skin today, haven't you?" Qin Mengxue said, looking sympathetically at Qiao Xiaoyu. How could she live with such a live-in husband in the future?
Zhou Hong, sitting at his seat, suddenly had an idea. He put the object to his lips and blew into it with force.
Instantly, the object inflated.
"Haha, Teacher Yang, I know what this is! It's a balloon!" Zhou Hong exclaimed loudly towards the podium, looking at Yang Xi.
"Pfft...!" The students in the class couldn't help but chuckle. Still teasing Teacher Yang!
"Zhou Hong, focus on class, alright?" Yang Xi said, deliberately putting on a stern face.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk anymore." Zhou Hong immediately blew the balloon up to its maximum size, tied a knot, and hung it on his desk.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was just a balloon; he had thought it was some kind of hidden weapon and had spent half the lesson researching it. But he was still puzzled: why had Liu Yan come to him with a balloon? It was truly inexplicable.
Never mind, Zhou Hong couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.
Yang Xi immediately began her lecture. She saw Zhou Hong's balloon inflated to the size of a winter melon and was utterly speechless. However, she wasn't angry with Zhou Hong. Zhou Hong had been a great help to her family; forget teasing her with this thing, even if he used this thing on her, she probably wouldn't resist.
The classroom quieted down, returning to the atmosphere of a lecture.
However, Zhou Hong was unaware that the scene of him holding the object at the classroom door and teasing Yang Xi had been secretly filmed by someone.
The aftermath was that it was leaked, and such a earth-shattering event would naturally be quickly spread to the university forum.
When class ended.
On the university forum, a post had completely gone viral, its popularity even surpassing the post about Zhu Zihan being kicked into the lake at Lover's Bridge during a kiss and offering a reward.
This post was about Zhou Hong, pretending not to know what something was and asking Yang Xi in front of her what it was.
"Shocking."
"This is too much!"
"Even the Five Great Young Lords haven't done this. This Zhou Hong, who was just named the 'Number One Wolf' yesterday, what is he trying to do?"
Countless comments exploded on the post.
He had already been crowned the "Number One Wolf," and today he had done something so earth-shattering. Without a doubt, the title of "Number One Wolf" was now thoroughly cemented.
"Class dismissed," Yang Xi called out, and then quickly left the classroom.
"Brother Hong, accept my kowtow," After class, Wu Jinbin, from the front row, looked at the giant winter melon and said to Zhou Hong with immense reverence.
"What for?" Zhou Hong looked at Wu Jinbin, utterly bewildered.
"Brother Hong, my admiration for you is like the ceaseless flow of a mighty river," Wu Jinbin chuckled.
Zhou Hong's brow furrowed slightly; he felt something was unusual. It was because many male students in the class were looking at him with adoring eyes, whereas before, some had looked at him with disdain.
Of course, many girls in the class were looking at Zhou Hong with contempt, especially Qin Mengxue and Qiao Xiaoyu, who glared at Zhou Hong from a distance.
