CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 161 JEALOUSY STRIKES! REWARDING THE TALENTED PAUPER WITH EXTRA UPDATES!_4

"Dean Bai Jie, I have finished my answer."

As soon as Qin Yao finished speaking, Dean Bai Jie clapped her hands, a satisfied expression on her face. "Qin Yao, you are outstanding. Our Institute of Plant Cultivation welcomes you at any time."

Besides Dean Bai Jie, the other five deans had also left their lights on. It wasn’t that they specifically wanted to recruit a student like Qin Yao, who was set on the Institute of Plant Cultivation, but simply to show respect to the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm. After all, a considerable portion of Jing University’s Exotic Flower Fruits was sponsored by the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm. And as the second young lady of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, Qin Yao deserved this gesture. Although this wasn’t entirely conventional, they felt it was necessary to acknowledge it to some extent.

Meanwhile, the students below the stage were somewhat surprised to see all six deans leave their lights on. This girl on stage is not only exquisitely beautiful but also remarkably talented, they thought. She’s a goddess with both beauty and brains!

With that thought, many male students turned their attention to Qin Yao, considering getting to know her and seeing if a romantic relationship could develop.

"I hadn’t expected Qin Yao to possess such impressive knowledge in the field of Spirit Plants," Su Yan marveled, his fondness for Qin Yao growing considerably. Indeed! Capable girls truly have a special charm, unlike those pretty-but-useless ’vases.’

"Qin Yao, congratulations on receiving the recognition of six deans. Which institute would you like to join?" the host teacher asked with a smile. At the same time, she was inwardly astounded, thinking that this young lady, Qin Yao, was quite remarkable. Even the sophomores and juniors in the Institute of Plant Cultivation might not possess as much insight into Spirit Plants as she did. Truly, the student surpasses the master.

"Dean Bai Jie, I would like to join the Institute of Plant Cultivation that you lead."

As everyone anticipated, Qin Yao chose her favored Institute of Plant Cultivation and became one of its members.

Upon hearing her choice, Dean Bai Jie smiled with satisfaction. "Qin Yao, welcome to the Institute of Plant Cultivation. I hope we can make progress together."

She knew that Qin Yao was the second young lady of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, and also the sister of Qin Luo, the ’Teacher Tormentor King.’ In terms of proficiency in Spirit Plants, Qin Yao was no worse than her own brother. Personality-wise, she seemed much better than her brother. Dean Bai Jie felt that as long as Qin Yao continued to study diligently, she would surely surpass the master and far exceed that problematic older brother of hers.

After a brief exchange with Dean Bai Jie, Qin Yao adorably walked off the stage. Followed by the gazes of numerous male students, she quickly returned to Su Yan’s side, her pretty face wreathed in smiles.

"Su Yan, was I impressive just now?" Qin Yao asked, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Yan with a touch of intimacy.

"Yes, very impressive. At least much more impressive than me," Su Yan said, not mincing his praise and speaking his mind. "I didn’t expect you to know so much about Spirit Plants. It genuinely surprised me."

"Thank you." Qin Yao was overjoyed to hear this. Her whole face flushed a charming red, and she looked a little shy, as if somewhat embarrassed.

Then she sat down next to Su Yan, inching closer and closer until they were nearly touching. Seeing that Su Yan didn’t seem to mind, Qin Yao moved a little closer, until their arms were almost brushing against each other. Then, feigning nonchalance, she subtly brushed against him.

MMM~

Qin Yao shuddered as if she’d received an electric shock. Stealthily brushing against Su Yan’s exposed arm felt so thrilling! Unexpectedly, Su Yan didn’t even resist! It seemed that sharing an unashamedly blissful life with Su Yan was just around the corner. Yes, just around the corner. Just around... the corner... Just... Oh dear, I mustn’t think about it, mustn’t think!

As her thoughts wandered, Qin Yao sneakily peeked at Su Yan’s long fingers from the corner of her eye. In an instant, her pretty, flushed face turned impossibly red, and she was overcome with shyness.

And this entire scene unfolded right before the eyes of Li Changxiao nearby, causing his face to contort with jealousy. This shameless couple should really tone it down, he thought. In such a public place, do they have to flaunt their affection so openly? Don’t they know there are many single people here who shouldn’t be provoked? Is it really appropriate to engage in such public displays of affection? Heh, may all lovers in this world eventually end up as siblings.

Li Changxiao scoffed inwardly several times, strongly condemning the couple’s lovey-dovey behavior beside him.

Besides Li Changxiao, many other male students were also feeling quite bitter. Who would have thought? Such a cute and charming girl... was already spoken for. And her man looked incredibly handsome too; there wasn’t even a chance for others to try and win her over.

"Alas, what a pity." Many male students sighed in disappointment, the light in their eyes dimming considerably. Who would have thought? The semester had just begun, and already one pursueable fairy was off the market. This was truly too regrettable.

However, their eyes quickly regained their previous luster. Because at that very moment, another girl of exquisite beauty had taken the stage.

No! That’s not right! She’s not just a fairy; she’s a celestial goddess, exuding a cool, noble, and regal aura! One to be admired from afar, not to be trifled with. A single glance was enough to convey an overwhelming sense of distance, as if she kept everyone a thousand miles away. This is a true queen!

Upon seeing An Shihua ascend the stage, many cried out thus in their hearts.

Compared to Qin Yao who had just been on stage, An Shihua, now appearing, ignited in them a burning desire to conquer.
