Protecting Them as Friends

Rong Qi had admitted the truth.

Huang Hao, Zhang Fu, and the others were stunned. They suddenly didn't know how to face her. They wanted to cry and laugh at the same time because they had always been taunted by Class 1, accused of being without guidance, and having an instructor who was as good as absent, unlike Tang Lin, who would always stand up for them.

Yet now, with Rong Qi's identity revealed, they realized that their instructor had been protecting them in the guise of a friend all along. They wanted to laugh because, despite being roughly the same age, they were just students and Rong Qi was an expatriate professor with dual degrees.

Not just them, Rong Qi herself seemed hesitant. She reflected on it and thought the spirited young men were actually quite loyal. Even if she wouldn't be teaching them anymore, there was no need to ruin the rapport they had built.
