Episode 4

I haven't thought of a good opening line yet, how can I leave a deep impression on Eason Shen?

Pushing the door open,Eason Shen was working at his desk, sporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that covered his beautiful peach blossom eyes. With his sleeves rolled up and a rather disheveled appearance, he looked quite impressive.

Apologies, my mistake, he was handsome but in a jerk way.

Without even raising his head, he asked, "What do you want?"

"I..." I was still contemplating how to approach him and make it sound sensible. I couldn't possibly tell him, "Eason Shen, I'm here to sleep with you!"

"Oh, it's you."Eason stared at me, full of implied meaning, as if I had walked out of a Chinese mythological story.

"Yes, yes, it's me, Professor Shen. Your classes are so good!"

Eason looked me up and down, "So, you've been gazing at me during lectures instead of focusing on the blackboard?"

I... I could have defended myself.

Forget it, actions speak louder than words. I was caught on the spot. Further arguments would just be childish.

I approached his desk, placed both hands on it, and stared into his eyes. "Professor Shen, it's not my fault. How can I ignore such a beautiful person and concentrate on studying 'Criminal Law'?"

Eason Shen nodded approvingly, "So, you want me to tutor you in 'Criminal Law'?"

Am I going mad? How is it that all Eason can think of is 'Criminal Law'?

"No," I firmly rejected his proposal, "I came here to get your contact information. I want to attend your classes regularly!"

Eason Shenmust be sick. No wonder he's still single at his age. He pointed at the schedule posted on the table and asked me to copy it?

"What??"

Eason insisted, "Copy it!"

I came here to discuss love, not to receive a lecture from him.

"Eason Shen," I thought there must be a problem with how I addressed him. "Professor Shen, I want to be in a romantic relationship with you and become Tina Shen's aunt!"

"Sorry, I don't date,"Eason Shen rejected me.

Before I could feel upset, he added, "Besides, I don't think your main intention is to date me."

"Believe me, I genuinely want to be in a relationship with you," I looked at him sincerely, almost kneeling down to beg him.

Eason Shen stood up, much taller than me. Maybe because we were closer, I felt he was almost as tall as Tina Shen, exuding an intimidating aura. "Do you want to be in a relationship with me or become Tina Shen's aunt?"

"Aren't being in a relationship with you and becoming Tina Shen's aunt the same thing? Aren't they cause and effect?"

"What did Tina Shen do to offend you?"

"..."

Are all teachers so perceptive?

My roommate looked at me with disappointment, "So, you told him the truth?"

I felt numb and nodded, "Oh, I wanted to get close to him and let him guide me in revising my paper."

"Did you finish revising it?"

I rubbed my face, "I might as well do it myself. I can't understand a word he says!"

"Celina Lyn, you're beyond saving. Now you have to watch that couple parade in front of you!"

"You tell me, what should I do? You wouldn't know, Eason Shen comes straight out and says he doesn't date, completely blocking my way. Do you think he might have some psychological issues? Is being a niece his genetic inheritance?" A new idea seemed to have dawned on me.

My roommate turned away, not even looking at me, "It's possible."

"You jerk!" I pounded the table. He's not giving me any opportunity!

My roommate turned back, quite nosy, "Why don't you go and ask him?"

"Do you want me to barge into his office and ask him bluntly, 'Eason Shen, are you mentally ill?'"

"You can give it a try." I felt like my roommate's brain had been castrated by 'Criminal Law'; he didn't make any sense.

"No, heroines fear bothering heroes. Although Tina Shen may be a third party, don't you think this aspect is worth learning from?"

There seems to be some truth to it.

Indeed, no matter how difficult a man is, he fears being overwhelmed.
