Lin Fan himself was surprised, he didn't expect that coming back to school would cause such a sensation, the scene instantly turned into a celebrity-chasing atmosphere, leading to a lot of screaming. Mainly, he was extremely popular among students, and many teachers were his fans too.

Lin Fan could barely escape from the enthusiastic surround of faculty and students. Only after he promised to come back soon to give a lecture did they finally let him go.

There's no way around it; they really were too eager for Teacher Lin to come back and teach.

Listening to a class from Teacher Lin is better than ten years of studying.

That's not an exaggeration at all.

Students who've attended Lin Fan's classes can deeply relate. Ever since hearing Teacher Lin's lecture, listening to other teachers felt like chewing wax.

Lin Fan is here!

At the principal's office, before even seeing Lin Fan, Liu Mengjie had already heard about Lin Fan's arrival. The school isn't too big but isn't small either, yet this news spread like lightning across every corner of the campus.

"Little Wang, you don't need to tidy up, head home." Liu Mengjie glanced at her assistant teacher Little Wang, who was organizing files beside her.

Little Wang: "..."

Normally, the principal was very strict. If she didn't tidy up the files properly, the principal would criticize her. But today was really unusual; the principal asked her not to tidy up and to leave early?

Little Wang couldn't help but recall that morning when she saw Teacher Lin downstairs at the principal's home...

For some reason, on recollection, Little Wang's face turned red; she didn't dare to think further and quickly agreed: "Okay, Principal, I'll be leaving then."

Little Wang hurriedly left.

Downstairs, she met Lin Fan head-on.

"Teacher Lin." Little Wang greeted, feeling her cheeks inexplicably warm.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Little Wang, is the principal in?"

Little Wang replied, "Yes, she's waiting for you upstairs. I'm leaving."

Little Wang quickly turned her head and sneaked past Lin Fan in a hurry, leaving quickly. Otherwise, she feared she might burst into laughter, in simple terms, she felt Teacher Lin and Principal Liu had something going on.

They didn't want others to know, but she ended up knowing.

Lin Fan glanced at Little Wang; this Little Wang seemed a bit quirky, but he didn't pay much mind, he then went upstairs to the principal's office to find Liu Mengjie.

Liu Mengjie was already waiting for Lin Fan. Seeing him arrive, she stood up to greet him.

"You're here." Liu Mengjie blushed.

"Yes, Sister Mengjie." Lin Fan smiled; the woman before him held special significance to him. Seeing her blush and shy demeanor made Lin Fan recall that stormy night.

Lin Fan reached out and pulled Liu Mengjie towards him, embracing her waist with a mischievous smile: "Did you miss me?"

Liu Mengjie yelped softly, her face turning bright red, teasingly saying, "You rascal, the door isn't closed yet."

She gently broke free from Lin Fan, ran to close the door, sneaking around like a thief.

As the door closed, Lin Fan embraced her from behind, strong arms gently lifting her up like a kitten.

Liu Mengjie had no ability to resist, nor did she intend to.

Arriving at Liu Mengjie's desk, Lin Fan placed her sitting on the tabletop, announcing his ownership over her like a king over his domain.

Little Wang's files that hadn't been sorted out were scattered all over the floor.

A moment passed.

Knock knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door from outside.

A few people had come, including the school's renowned teachers, Li Di among them, and a student, Chu Xiaoxiao.

Why was the principal's office door closed?

They all felt curious, thinking perhaps the principal had already left?

One teacher stepped forward to knock.

A few seconds later.

Liu Mengjie's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The door was closed, but not locked, so it could be opened from the outside.

The teacher opened the door, and everyone peeked inside, seeing Liu Mengjie sitting at the desk, Lin Fan sitting on the sofa opposite.

"You're here. I was chatting with Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin will join us at the concert tonight," Liu Mengjie said with a smile, trying to sound as calm as possible so no one would see she had just been in a frenzy; the blush on her face hadn't fully faded, nor had her heartbeat settled.

Anyone observant would notice the principal's slightly messy desk and the files strewn on the floor, indicating that things weren't so simple.

"Teacher Lin!"

The other teachers all greeted Lin Fan warmly.

"Teacher Lin." Chu Xiaoxiao also greeted Lin Fan; she hadn't seen Teacher Lin for some time, and seeing him now, she was truly happy.

Only Li Di, who hadn't met Lin Fan before, was seeing him formally for the first time, but alas, his impression of Lin Fan wasn't great.

Liu Mengjie looked at Lin Fan and said, "Teacher Lin, they're joining us for the concert tonight; Xiaoxiao is the student representative and will accompany us."

Lin Fan gave Chu Xiaoxiao a praising look; the young girl was truly excellent.

Receiving Lin Fan's praise, Chu Xiaoxiao felt like she had tasted honey, sweetness filling her heart. Ah, she wanted to become an excellent person, to become Teacher Lin's pride.

Liu Mengjie continued, "Let me introduce you - this is Li Di, Teacher Li, the school's newly hired piano teacher. Teacher Li, this is Lin Fan, Teacher Lin, who was our substitute piano teacher before you came. I'm sure you'll find plenty to talk about."

Lin Fan maintained a polite smile: "Hello, Teacher Li."

Li Di's eyes flashed a hint of disdain. An idle rich kid who uses connections to walk through doors, an idol with no skills and only looks; he couldn't talk with him, Li Di had real talent!

"Teacher Lin, I saw you around campus earlier. You're very popular with students, just like a big star. You must be very capable; I'll have to learn from you sometime." Li Di chuckled.

Lin Fan smiled slightly: "Sure."

The fleeting disdain in Li Di's eyes wasn't missed by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan found it odd; Li Di seemed somewhat dismissive of him, yet Lin Fan had never really encountered Li Di before, so there was no apparent reason Li Di should disdain him?

Of course, Lin Fan didn't care; in the end, Li Di was insignificant in his eyes.

Liu Mengjie stood up and said: "Everyone's here, and it's getting late, let's head out."

Thus, the group left the principal's office, with Liu Mengjie intentionally keeping a distance from Lin Fan.

True to her concerns, she wouldn't let others know the nature of her relationship with Lin Fan now; she feared the whole school would go crazy.

Chu Xiaoxiao, somehow, quietly got close to Liu Mengjie and whispered: "Principal, your shirt button seems undone."

Chu Xiaoxiao was observant, noticing Liu Mengjie's shirt with an unfastened button at the top, fearing Liu Mengjie might feel embarrassed, so she quietly reminded her.

Liu Mengjie's cheeks flushed; it was Lin Fan's doing.

She nonchalantly buttoned it back up, trying to explain to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Perhaps the thread came loose, I'll stitch it later, thank you Xiaoxiao."

Chu Xiaoxiao giggled: "You're welcome." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

But she was puzzled; she had also noticed earlier that the principal's desk was disorganized, and since Principal Liu always held everything in order, why today seemed like she was a bit unfocused...
