Nan Yan responded with a calm expression, “I’m going to find the class teacher. You can go back by yourself.”

“Oh…” Lu Rongrong bit her lip, “Thank you for earlier…”

“Just consider it as thanks for the snacks you’ve brought me these days.” Nan Yan’s tone was subdued, indicating no further interest in conversation.

She raised her hand in a brief wave and walked away.

Lu Rongrong watched her retreating figure, standing in place for a moment before sighing and heading down a different path.

She could sense Nan Yan’s indifference towards her.

Helping her just now was probably because she had been trying to please her during this period…

It was a pity that her timid behavior had left a negative impression on Nan Yan. Otherwise, their relationship might have progressed a bit…

Regretting it now wouldn’t change anything.

In the office, the class teacher was absent, leaving only the headmaster.

Nan Yan straightforwardly requested leave from him.

It didn’t matter who she told; the result would be the same.

“You want a week off? Nan Yan, are you joking with me?”

The headmaster slammed his hand on the table with a loud sound, his voice much louder than usual.

Nan Yan leaned against the office desk, looking quite serious as she nodded, “Yes, Headmaster. Can you approve it?”

“No!” The headmaster rejected her without hesitation.

It was the second half of the second year, with only half a semester left before they moved on to the third year. The workload was heavy.

Moreover, she had already taken quite a bit of time off during this period, causing her studies to be delayed. Taking another week off would only set her studies back further!

Nan Yan calmly stated, “If it’s not approved, then I’ll have to skip classes…”

The headmaster frowned,

He rubbed his temples, unable to contain his frustration, “Tell me, what were you doing while taking all this time off?”

Nan Yan pondered for a moment and then honestly replied, “Participating in a competition.”

He wanted to scold her!

If it weren’t for the fact that he genuinely cared about her, he would have lost his temper!

When did it come to this?

Instead of focusing on her studies, she was participating in a competition?

While the headmaster was quite traditional in his thinking, he was aware that the esports industry was rapidly developing, becoming a complete industry with several esports stars.

Each industry had its own rationale for existence.

He didn’t want to judge why other esports players weren’t focusing on their studies and instead wasting their lives playing games.

He just wanted to know what this girl in front of him was doing!

“No way!” The headmaster took a deep breath twice to suppress his anger before it erupted. “I won’t allow it!”

“Next month’s exams, I promise I’ll be the top student in the grade.”

“Is that acceptable?”

“If not, I’ll participate in the physics competition in two weeks and bring back a gold medal for the school.”

Nan Yan negotiated with the headmaster in a reasonable manner.

After all, he genuinely cared for her, and she didn’t want to make him too angry.

Listening to her words, the headmaster covered his chest suddenly, his voice trembling, “Nan Yan, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

Nan Yan looked at him calmly, “I’m not joking.”

“Fine, since you can guarantee your studies, then you can relax a bit. I’ll grant you the week off!”

The headmaster waved his hand and signed his name on the leave request form.

Luckily, Teacher Zhang Lingxian had returned by now. Otherwise, there would have been no one to teach the computer class to those few students.

The headmaster had heard Teacher Zhang complaining yesterday. He said that Nan Yan had taught more in the past few days than he had in a month. What’s more, those few students understood the material quite well!

During his class, those students had been gazing at Nan Yan expectantly, clearly wanting her to continue teaching them…

What a talented individual!

He had unearthed her potential.

Perhaps in the following years, they could hope for a top-three national ranking from Zhide High School!

“Nan Yan, even though I’m granting you the leave, you must take care of yourself while you’re outside. Don’t get into any trouble, okay?”

The headmaster was genuinely worried about Nan Yan, just like a concerned father.

Nan Yan nodded, “Okay.”

In the evening.

An Xiran contacted Nan Yan.

He had reserved a table at a hotel for a dinner with his team.

Especially the other members of the team were curious to meet her in person, as they hadn’t seen her before. After all, a girl who dominated their entire team was quite intriguing to them.

With only two days left until the competition, they wanted to satisfy their curiosity.

Nan Yan hung up the phone and turned to Qin Lu, “Big Brother, if you’re not busy, could you drop me off at the hotel?”

“Sure.” Qin Lu controlled the steering wheel with one hand and checked the location of the hotel on the navigation.

Qin Lu noticed the girl’s quiet demeanor and said softly, “These days, when Big Brother goes back to the capital, if you need anything, remember to contact me.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Okay.” Nan Yan held her phone in one hand and casually nodded.

Her indifferent attitude was evident.

Qin Lu couldn’t help but smile: She really is a heartless little thing.

To think he’d feel reluctant to part from her.

Nan Yan had no idea what he was thinking.

But for her, in a way, it felt like a relief.

During this period of time, she had been a little bewitched by the flirting, and she felt a little lost in her thoughts.

It would be better for him to leave quickly and let her regain her calm.

Otherwise, if she lost control due to his flirting and did something she’d regret, she’d be really upset.

Although charm was quite captivating, the cost of enjoying it was too high.

She couldn’t afford it right now.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Nan Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car.

“Little one, don’t be so heartless!”

To leave without even saying ‘goodbye’ was a bit much, wasn’t it?

“I planned to say goodbye after getting out of the car…” Nan Yan explained. She didn’t intend to leave as soon as she got out of the car. She then raised her hand in a dismissive manner. “If you can’t even wait for this short amount of time, can you blame me?”

Qin Lu was amused by her and said, “Are you indirectly accusing your brother of being petty?” “Not at all.” Nan Yan shook her head. “Brother is not petty at all.”

“You little liar.”

Qin Lu’s eyes held a teasing smile. “Fine, go on. Today, your Fourth Brother will probably send you back home. I won’t come to pick you up.”

“Okay.” Nan Yan nodded and then waved at him. “Goodbye, Big Brother.”

Qin Lu watched her enter the hotel’s entrance before starting the car and driving away.

Nan Yan entered the hotel lobby and called An Xiran, “Fourth Brother, I’ve arrived. Where are you guys?

“Nan Yan, you’re here so fast? Fourth Brother and the team members are still on their way. It’ll take about ten more minutes. Why don’t you wait in the room for a while? The room number is…

“I’ll wait for you guys in the lobby. We can go to the room together when you arrive.”

“That works!”

Nan Yan ended the call and found a quiet spot to wait for An Xiran and his team.

In less than two minutes, a man approached her….
