82: Let's try another method.

Yu Heng listened, tracing circles on Qin Lu's leg.

One circle, two circles.

"Why do you want to learn live streaming?" Yu Heng asked.

"Because of money," Wang Luyu said frankly. "My family's financial situation is average, and I want to earn my own living expenses. The introduction said the club has profit sharing, which I think is great."

A very practical reason.

Yu Heng nodded, "Alright, go back and wait for notification."

After Wang Luyu left, the lecture hall became quiet.

Hao Junran glanced at the list. "That's it, just these twenty."

Qin Lu immediately wanted to stand up.

But Yu Heng's hand was still pressing down on her leg.

"Counselor," Yu Heng started, his voice calm, "What did you think of today's interviews?"

Qin Lu took a deep breath. "It was... passable."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her body was trembling.

Ning Yutong organized her notes. "A few of them have potential: Chen Yuqiang's voice impersonation, Zhou Mengqi's vocal quality, Zhang Tingting's creativity, and Wang Luyu seems quite reliable..."

As she spoke, she looked at Yu Heng. "What do you think?"

"I think it's fine," Yu Heng stood up, and Qin Lu immediately followed suit. "Tonight, I'll create a group chat so we can discuss and finalize the list."

"Okay." Ning Yutong nodded. "Got it."

Hao Junran and the others started tidying up the classroom.

Qin Lu picked up her bag and said to Yu Heng, "I'm heading back now."

"I'll walk you back." Yu Heng replied naturally.

Qin Lu wanted to refuse, but Yu Heng had already walked up beside her.

She quickly walked out of the classroom, and Yu Heng followed closely, walking beside her.

"You worked hard today," he said softly. "Why are you walking so fast?"

"It wasn't hard." Qin Lu quickened her pace again. "Don't follow me."

"Slow down," Yu Heng said with a smile. "Be careful not to fall again when your legs are weak."

Qin Lu froze, biting her lip. "Shut up."

"Fine, I'll shut up. So, can I walk you?"

"No need."

"It's on my way."

"It's not on your way. I'm going back to the office; you should be heading back to the dorm."

"I can stop by the office first. We can have an in-depth discussion about the interview results we just had." The two walked into the office building, one after the other.

Was he really going to follow her?

But there shouldn't be anyone in the office building right now... Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own, and her steps slowed down instead.

Qin Lu's office was on the second floor. It took her several jabs to line up the key with the keyhole.

The door opened. She walked in, Yu Heng followed, gently closed the door behind him, and locked it.

Qin Lu's heart skipped a beat. She placed her bag on the chair, her back facing him.

Yu Heng didn't approach immediately. Instead, he walked to the window and looked outside.

The sky was almost completely dark, and students were cycling past downstairs.

Then, Yu Heng abruptly pulled the dark blue curtains shut.

"Why are you closing the curtains?" Qin Lu's voice immediately tightened.

Closing the door wasn't enough; he had to draw the curtains too?

"On the second floor, it's still possible to catch a glimpse from outside," Yu Heng turned around, leaning against the radiator by the window. "It never hurts to be careful."

"What exactly do you want?" Qin Lu stared at him. What did he want? Did he want to do it in the office...?

"Nothing much," Yu Heng spread his hands. "Just chatting, Counselor. Don't you think the current situation... has quite the atmosphere?"

"What atmosphere?" Qin Lu instinctively retorted.

Yu Heng took half a step forward, not getting too close. "Look, we're on campus, in your office, and it's completely dark outside. Everyone who should be back in the dorms is gone, and those still wandering around are busy with their own business. No one would ever imagine that there are two people secretly meeting inside this office building—one is a student, the other is his Counselor, and moreover, they are a student and a Counselor who have slept together."

"Yu Heng!" She took a deep breath. "If you don't have anything serious to say, get out now!"

"Qin Lu, has anyone ever told you..."

"What?" Qin Lu raised her eyes warily.

"The way you look, so reserved and stubborn," Yu Heng took another step forward, reaching her, "is truly captivating."

Qin Lu's breath hitched.

"It doesn't make a person feel defeated," Yu Heng's gaze landed on her, "but rather, it's like..."

"Like what?" Her voice was dry. She knew she shouldn't ask, but her mouth moved faster than her brain.

Yu Heng lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said word by word in an almost breathy voice, "An Aphrodisiac."

Qin Lu's mind went blank for a moment.

She felt that her rationality was probably destined to be shattered by Yu Heng ever since she started wearing stockings every day.

She felt like an exhibit stripped bare and placed on a stage, being commented on with relish by him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" She stepped back, her back hitting the edge of the desk. "I am your teacher! Show some respect!"

"I am very respectful." Yu Heng straightened up, his expression quite sincere. "Was I not respectful enough the night before last? Everything you asked for, I responded to."

Qin Lu was so angry she wanted to hit him with her bag, but she felt the action was too childish. She realized he was gambling, betting that she wouldn't truly turn hostile.

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly. He had bet correctly.

Yu Heng suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled gently, and drew her half a step closer.

Their bodies were practically touching.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Qin Lu's mind went blank.

Reason was screaming.

But her body wouldn't listen.

Yu Heng wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing her tighter against himself.

"Mmm..."

Just then, the phone in Yu Heng's pocket vibrated.

Qin Lu recovered first, turning her head away, her breathing ragged. "Reply to the message first!"

Yu Heng frowned, pulled out his phone, and glanced at it, his hand still around her waist.

It was a check-in photo of Bai Xinran drinking water.

His frown eased. This girl was quite talented; she knew to check in and report on her own.

He swiped his thumb across the screen and sent a message.

Then he set his phone to silent and carelessly tossed it onto the nearby desk.

"It's nothing." He lowered his head, wanting to continue.

"You..." Qin Lu pressed her hand against his chest, stopping him from getting closer again. "That's enough..."

"Is it enough?" Yu Heng's voice was hoarse. "But it's only just begun."

The hand around her waist tightened, making her distinctly feel the changes in his body.

Of course, Qin Lu felt it.

"The office really won't work," Qin Lu turned her head away. (What she was actually thinking was that she had only been taking Yasmin for two days.) "Let's try a different way."

"What way?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not very good at this; I haven't done this before." Qin Lu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear... Meanwhile, Bai Xinran's phone screen lit up.

She quickly glanced at the content: ["For the next ten minutes, no matter what question the audience asks you, the first three words of your answer must be 'The Master says.' Remember to record the screen."]

This... is so embarrassing!

There were over a hundred people in the live stream now. Although they couldn't see her face, they could hear her voice.

Answering every question using this sentence structure?

The bullet comments were still scrolling. A newly joined viewer asked, "What has A Ling been streaming?"

Bai Xinran opened her mouth, feeling her throat dry.

She closed her eyes and decided to go for it.

"The Master says..." Her voice was lower than usual, tinged with a tremor. "Today, I chatted casually and played games for a bit."

The bullet comments were silent for a moment, then exploded.

[??? The Master says?]

[Holy crap, A Ling is going this wild today?]

[New meme??]

[Master? Is she calling us?]
