"Alright, my gorgeous campus belle Guan Shimeng, Xu Fan went to such lengths for you, do you really not appreciate it?"

Zhao Yan saw that Guan Shimeng was shy and teased her with a mischievous smile.

Guan Shimeng's face turned redder than the setting sun as she pinched Zhao Yan.

"You little devil, what nonsense are you spouting..."

Zhao Yan was one of Guan Shimeng's best friends, and they usually shared everything with each other.

On several occasions, Zhao Yan had encouraged Guan Shimeng to take the initiative, so that nobody else would snatch Xu Fan away.

Her suggestive looks right now were hinting at her to chase after Xu Fan, what else could it be?

"Xu, Xu Fan, I, I ... thank you, oh..."

Guan Shimeng stammered, her voice as faint as a mosquito's, aware of the adage that a woman chasing a man is separated only by a layer of gauze, yet she just couldn't bring herself to lower her face.

Not to mention, the man in front of her was engaged to her good friend Xia Xiaodie...

"Hehe, Miss campus belle Guan, a 'thank you' will do, but offering yourself in marriage would be even better, right? Xu Fan!"

"Yan Zi! You're awful!"

Seeing her friend's elbow turn outward in a sign of betrayal, Guan Shimeng blushed and immediately started chasing after her to hit her.

The two of them frolicked and ran off to the side. At that moment, Zhou Keren, with a stern face, walked over.

"Hmpf, who would've thought, you're still so gentlemanly?"

Zhou Keren said sourly.

She had seen this camping trip with the students as a perfect opportunity to assert her authority as their homeroom teacher.

But now, all the attention had been stolen by Xu Fan alone.

All the girls in class were clinging to Xu Fan for help, making her role as the homeroom teacher feel utterly invisible...

The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt inside. Zhou Keren huffed and glared at Xu Fan, saying, "Hmph, Xu Fan, I'm warning you, Shimeng is our class's top student, you better not cause any trouble."

"Don't think about getting her into a relationship. If it affects her grades, I will not let you off the hook!"

"..."

Seeing Zhou Keren's fist raised in mock anger, Xu Fan was speechless.

Top student, am I not one too?

And which of your eyes saw me hooking up someone for a relationship?

Can you keep your thoughts clean, please?

"I mean, Keren teacher, can't you be less scheming?"

"Who's scheming!"

As Zhou Keren glared back with bulging eyes, Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Teacher Zhou, abusing your power to keep me from mingling with other girls just to win my body, if that's not being scheming, what is it?"

"Ah, I know I'm handsome and it's normal for you to fall for me, but personally, I'd suggest focusing more on enhancing your own appeal, instead of these underhand tricks."

"Like, maybe dressing a bit sexier, talking in a cuter tone, having a gentler temperament, and when Mother Dragon Qin Mengyue isn't at home, you could try seducing me..."

Xu Fan patted Zhou Keren's shoulder, giving heartfelt advice on how she might better seduce him. Zhou Keren trembled with anger at his audacity.

This guy had such thick skin...

Zhou Keren gritted her teeth, watching the now animated Xu Fan, and spat out, "Xu Fan, if it weren't for everyone being here, do you believe I would kick you right into Tianyue Lake!"

"Hey, Teacher Keren, look, you've forgotten everything I just taught you,"

Xu Fan looked at Zhou Keren disdainfully and said with a critical tone, "At a time like this when no one is around, you could totally sneak a kiss on me."

"What a great opportunity, come on!"

"Go to hell!"

Watching as Xu Fan shamelessly moved his face closer, Zhou Keren darkened her face and directly aimed a kick at Xu Fan!

Unfortunately, she didn't manage to hit him. Zhou Keren wrinkled her nose, huffed at Xu Fan, and then said, "Tonight, you sleep in my tent."

"Ow, my sister, at last you've come to your senses!"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, chuckled mischievously, and moved closer to Zhou Keren.

"This seduction has improved, but there's a small flaw. You're so loud, it's easy for the other students to hear..."

"..."

Xu Fan kept murmuring by his own ear, while Zhou Keren's temples were throbbing with irritation.

"Go to hell! I'm just lending you the tent, that's all!"

Xu Fan was not only her student but also her roommate. Zhou Keren, out of both emotion and reason, couldn't let Xu Fan freeze out there at night.

She had planned even before coming to thicken her skin and squeeze in with other students, all to free up space for Xu Fan to sleep.

After fiercely glaring at Xu Fan, she headed towards the group of girls.

"Ah, she's pretty cute though..."

Watching Zhou Keren leave with a stern face, Xu Fan revealed a smile.

Life was pretty good like this.

"Okay! Everyone, hurry over and gather 'round!"

It was about to get dark, and Xu Fan clapped his hands, rallying all the students together.

"Boys, go find firewood and set up the stove; girls, clean the ingredients we brought. Let's get ready to start cooking! Remember, safety is paramount!"

It was nearly dinner time, and after Xu Fan had efficiently delegated tasks, everyone started busying themselves.

In about half an hour, everything was ready.

And by that time, Tianyue Lake had also entered the night.

In the center of the tents, a campfire was lit, and it was the start of Xu Fan's class's first night of the camping trip.

The fragrant smell of barbecue, laughter amidst the busyness, and playful and boisterous figures marked the campfire party that didn't end until twelve midnight.

During it, Guan Shimeng sang a few songs at the encouragement of everyone.

Without any accompaniment, her voice was still astonishingly beautiful, and it once again reminded Xu Fan of what Xia Xiaodie had said to him that day at the KTV.

Guan Shimeng loved to sing and aspired to pursue it further, but it seemed like her family was not very agreeable to the idea...

It was already their senior year, and in no time at all, the college entrance exams would be upon them.

Xu Fan thought to himself that after this camping trip was over, he should find a time to ask Guan Shimeng about her college plans.

If she had any troubles, perhaps, he might be able to help her out.

After the campfire party ended, everyone went back to their respective tents.

When Zhou Keren, wrapped in a quilt, went to snuggle up with her fellow students, Xu Fan entered the tent to go to sleep.

Under the night sky, the chatter gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of the lake's waters slapping the shore and the faint rustling of birds as they flitted through the trees.

Even without a blanket, Xu Fan was about to fall asleep as his eyes closed in a drowsy haze.

Suddenly! A rustling noise approached his tent!
