<h4>Chapter 399: Chapter 399: A Round of Apuse</h4><h4></h4>


    Looking into Tan Lan’s eyes, filled with pure sincerity, Mao Yan and Tang Weixing’s hearts trembled. They knew deep down that they could not follow Tan Lan any further; otherwise, they would only encounter more trouble.


    The two exchanged nces and, with great understanding, turned their heads in unison and said to Tan Lan, "Principal Tan, my ear suddenly feels ufortable, like it might have been pierced by ident. I need to go and have it checked immediately!"


    Tan Lan frowned slightly, her gaze filled with doubt as she looked at Mao Yan and Tang Weixing. She was puzzled—could ear piercing happen so easily? And both of them at the same time?


    "We need to get it looked at quickly, Principal Tan, don’t worry. It definitely won’t dy your work; we’ll make sure to handle any task you’ve assigned us properly!"


    Mao Yan waved his hand hastily at Tan Lan, eager to leave. They hadn’t heard the conversation between Xiao Yifei and Tan Lan just now, and the only thing on their minds was to get as far away from here as possible. Neither Xiao Yifei nor Tan Lan were figures they wanted to offend!


    After they spoke, Mao Yan grabbed Tang Weixing and they both turned and ran off in a hurry.


    Tan Lan watched the retreating figures of Mao Yan and Tang Weixing, her brows knitting together slightly, but she did not say anything else and simply let them leave.


    Xiao Yifei watched Mao Yan and Tang Weixing leave in a hurry, and could not help butugh wryly. Tan Lan didn’t understand why these two were in such a rush to leave, but Xiao Yifei knew exactly why.


    Xiao Yifei turned to say something to Tan Lan, but upon seeing her raise her eyebrows slightly, Tan Lan spoke first.


    "You’ve been with me, aren’t you my man then? You are my first man, so that makes you my man! What, now that you’ve put on the pants, you’re not acknowledging it?"


    Tan Lan’s eyes looked straight at Xiao Yifei, unflinchingly steady.


    Hearing Tan Lan’s words, Xiao Yifei’s mouth fell open, but he was at a loss for words. He didn’t really know how to refute her, considering it was Tan Lan who had secretly climbed into his bed, and in the end, he had been with her. The marks left on the sheets also proved something.


    But Xiao Yifei never imagined that Tan Lan, who he thought was exceedingly domineering and decisive, could actually be like this—somewhat shameless, yet shamelessly adorable.


    "Uh..."


    Xiao Yifei looked at Tan Lan, not knowing what to say, and could only scratch his head awkwardly, "Principal Tan, there’s some stuff to deal with in my ss; I can’t go back to the office with you. If there’s anything, just let me knowter."


    After saying this to Tan Lan, Xiao Yifei followed the example of Mao Yan and Tang Weixing, turned on his heel, and ran off quickly. No matter what, facing this situation, he was truly at a loss and could only bolt.


    He waspletely defenseless against Tan Lan’s words, but Xiao Yifei also knew that he couldn’t escape forever; sooner orter, he had to face the music. Given Tan Lan’s disyed character, running away wasn’t going to solve the issue.


    But for now, Xiao Yifei had no other option than to flee.


    Watching Xiao Yifei’s departing figure, a glint passed through Tan Lan’s clear eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile. Sheughed.


    As she walked toward her office, still smiling, her chuckles soon turned into full, heartyughter.


    By then, Xiao Yifei could no longer hear Tan Lan’sughter. He had run so fast that he was already near the teaching building.


    The excuse he had given Tan Lan wasn’t false; he indeed needed to stop by his ss, especially since the semester was drawing to a close. Xiao Yifei had promised the students that he would meet with them before the end and inform them of their grades.


    Xiao Yifei raised his head and looked towards the ssroom where the students of Clinical ss 3-4 were seated. He walked over.


    ’p p p—’


    As Xiao Yifei arrived at the ssroom door and had just pushed it open, before his body had truly stepped inside, a thunderous apuse, like a tidal wave, engulfed him.


    Xiao Yifei was slightly startled and didn’t understand what was happening. He nced at the students, sitting at their seats with expressions of excitement, staring intently at him.


    "Thank you, Teacher Xiao!"


    With a puzzled expression, Xiao Yifei slowly made his way to the podium. Just as he was stepping onto it, the students sitting below suddenly stood up and said in unison and with respect,


    Only then did Xiao Yifei realize the students’ intentions; they were thanking him.


    "Haha, alright, alright. We’ve known each other for a while now, no need for this. I know your gratitude."


    Xiao Yifei felt a warm current flow through his heart at the sight of his students’ gestures. Regardless of anything else, he did indeed want to see his students improve over time. Now, seeing how deeply grateful his students were, Xiao Yifei couldn’t deny his happiness.


    However, the students, who always listened well to Xiao Yifei, did not stop their apuse this time. They pped with such force that their palms turned red.


    "Alright, alright, no need for this. If you continue like this, I won’t be able to tell you your grades!"


    Xiao Yifei said to the students with a smile.


    "Teacher Xiao, Teacher Luo has already given us the grades."


    Tian Miaomiao stood at the front, her eyes sparkling as she excitedly said to Xiao Yifei, "Teacher Xiao, if the students from the other majors hadn’t told us about their exam scores, we wouldn’t have known how shockingly high our own scores were!"


    "Teacher Xiao! Teacher Xiao! Teacher Luo also said that the exam scores of the students from Clinical ss 3-4 can be said to have brought honor to the school, and the subsequent reviews have also reflected well on our university! He said he wants to thank our two sses!"


    Wu Dahua was sitting towards the back, his neck craned, shouting at the top of his lungs to Xiao Yifei, "Teacher Xiao, but we all know that the person we should be most grateful to is you. Without you, we would be nothing!"


    After Wu Dahua finished his sentence, the ssroom fell silent. But momentster, the apuse rang out again, as if affirming the words Wu Dahua had spoken.


    "Teacher Xiao, thank you so much. After the practical exam results for our ss came out, Teacher Luo did a summary. Our average grades for Clinical sses 3-4 are the highest in the history of Yanjing Medical University. It can even be said that most of the schrships for the Clinical Medical College this time are almost certainly going to our two sses! We know what our sses were like before you came, and how we’ve changed since then."


    Even Huo Bing, who always had a stern face, looked at Xiao Yifei with eyes full of feverish devotion, "Teacher Xiao, if it weren’t for you, we really would be nothing."


    Even Shi Sisi was looking steadily at Xiao Yifei, standing straight with her legs tightly together. Her gaze towards Xiao Yifei was filled withplex emotions.


    Just now, the ss monitor had received information from the department’s Luo Feng before Xiao Yifei and shared the news of the students’ scores, as well as the situation during thest inspection, with the students from Clinical ss 3-4. Only after knowing this news did the students, who had just returned from their internships, realize that they had unknowingly achieved such impressive feats, and all of these aplishments were under Xiao Yifei’s leadership.
