BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 - 98: Most Women Are Vain
At school, Tang Beibei went to Professor Chen’s office for her shift duty after class.
When she ran into Song Kai, they said hi to each other. Song Kai was about to talk to her when he noticed Professor Chen’s watchful eye. He quickly cleared his throat in embarrassment and left.
Tang Beibei did not notice the interaction between Song Kai and Professor Chen. She went into the office and started cleaning. When she came back after washing her hands, Professor Chen asked her how her reading was going.
She was so startled that her heart trembled. She did not dare to exaggerate and said that she was still researching some questions she jotted down as she read the books.
Professor Chen pulled a long face. “I’m right here. Why don’t you just ask me instead of doing your own research?”
“…” Tang Beibei glanced at him and quickly took out her notebook where she had written her many questions.
“1’11 have to trouble Professor Chen to answer my questions then.”
Professor Chen put on his glasses and scanned Tang Beibei’s questions. He recommended a few more books to her, saying that she could find her answers in those books.

Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched, but she did not dare to argue and nodded obediently.
Professor Chen was very satisfied with her obedience and answered a few simple questions on the spot.
At this moment, a girl walked into the office and said with a smile, “Professor Chen, I brought you some food. I’ll leave it here.”
Professor Chen ignored her and continued to read Tang Beibei’s notebook. When he realized that Tang Beibei’s hand-drawn human body was really ugly, he criticized her with a little disdain.
“This looks like something the cat dragged in. I can’t believe you produced such an ugly drawing.”
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I’ll draw it properly in future.” Tang Beibei admitted her weakness.
She also couldn’t help it. She could dance, but she was really bad at drawing.
“I’ll teach you. Watch carefully.”
Professor Chen took out a piece of white paper and started drawing the human anatomy with a pen. Tang Beibei watched intently. No wonder he was a professor. Even his drawings are so beautiful.
Professor Chen handed her his drawing and said, “It’s useless to watch. You have to practice drawing it yourself. Annotate all the parts of the human body clearly.”
“Yes, Professor!”
Tang Beibei took a few sheets of paper and began to practice. The woman standing at the side was completely ignored.
The woman was a little embarrassed. She stood there for a while before saying to Professor Chen, “Professor Chen, is there anything I can do for you?”
“What needs to be done has already been done by someone.” Professor Chen was still staring at the notebook, his tone cold.
The woman glanced at Tang Beibei. Professor Chen meant that Tang Beibei had done it all. She could only walk to Tang Beibei with a smile and say, “Hello, I’m a freshman. My name is Xin Wei. I’m Professor Chen’s student.”
Tang Beibei looked up at the pretty woman and nodded with a smile. “Hello, I’m Tang Beibei. I’m in my second year this year.”
“So, it’s Senior Tang. I look forward to learning from you.”
“Sure.” Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. She didn’t say anything else and continued drawing.
Xin Wei wanted to talk to her to ease the awkwardness, but Tang Beibei ignored her. She frowned. Tang Beibei was just one year her senior. What was so great about that? Did she need to look down on her? Hmph!
Xin Wei found a seat and sat down before scrolling through her phone.
Professor Chen looked up at her with disappointment in his eyes. Then, he looked at Tang Beibei with satisfaction in his eyes.
After her shift was over, Tang Beibei packed her things and said goodbye to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen reminded, “You young people should play less and read more. Remember that, okay?”
“Yes, I’ll remember.”
Tang Beibei nodded obediently. She admired Professor Chen very much and kept his words in mind.
Xin Wei, who was sitting next to her, also stood up. When she heard Professor Chen’s words, she rolled her eyes. What an old fogey! They were finally in university. Why wouldn’t they seize every moment to have fun? Studying was just a waste of their youth.
“Professor Chen, 1’11 also knock off now.”
“Okay,” Professor Chen replied perfunctorily.
He was also annoyed by her playing on her phone in his office. He could not stand it when young people came to his office and did not study.
Xin Wei quickly chased after Tang Beibei and hugged her arm as if they were close friends. “Senior Tang, please let me buy you lunch. I’d like to learn more about Professor Chen’s preferences.”
Tang Beibei looked down at the woman’s arm and retracted her arm awkwardly. “Professor Chen doesn’t have any special preference, okay? However, he’s famous for being strict with his students. You’ll be fine if you act obedient in front of him.”
“Is it that simple?” Xin Wei was unconcerned. “I think Professor Chen treats you quite well. Do you have any special tricks?”
“Does Professor Chen treat me well?”
Why didn’t she know?
She thought about those books. She hadn’t finished reading them yet, and Professor Chen had given her a few more to read. Other than attending classes every day, she was reading. She didn’t even have time for dance practice.
“Yeah, he even taught you how to draw.”
“Yes, Professor Chen is quite kind to his students.” Tang Beibei was also very grateful to Professor Chen.
“Since we’re both students of Professor Chen, we should take care of each other. Let’s add each other on WeChat so we can keep in touch.” Xin Wei said with a smile as she held out her phone.

“Beibei, we meet again. What a coincidence.”
Before Tang Beibei could finish her sentence, Song Hai rushed over and smiled at her.
“… Huh?”
“Why are you pretending not to know me? Here are some flowers for you. Let me buy you lunch.” Song Hai smiled and stuffed the flowers in Tang Beibei’s hands.
Tang Beibei was baffled. She didn’t take the flowers but stepped back. “Mr. Song, do you have a misunderstanding? 1 don’t want to be friends with you.” “Heavens, Young Master Song Hai, why are you here?” Xin Wei cried out in surprise. She turned to look at Tang Beibei, who had dropped the flowers, and picked them up.
“Senior Tang, Young Master Song Hai wants to be friends with you. How can you reject him? That’s a little rude, don’t you think?”
“… Sorry, I’m busy.”
Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched. This woman had just said that they were both Professor Chen’s students and should take care of each other. But she was now scolding her on behalf of Song Hai?
“Hey, Tang Beibei, I won’t pretend with you anymore. I just like you and want to pursue you.”
Song Hai took out a diamond ring and handed it to Tang Beibei. He even knelt on one knee and said, “Be my girlfriend.”
Many passing students gathered round to watch the show.
“Wow, that’s so romantic. Flowers and diamond ring.”
“Yeah, that man is so handsome.”
“What did that woman do to deserve such a good boyfriend? Sigh. I wish that someone would give me a diamond ring and ask me to be his girlfriend!” Suddenly, someone shouted, “Say yes!”
The others followed suit and shouted, “Say yes! Say yes!”
Song Hai saw that everyone was supporting him, he also believed that most women were vain. He used such a big diamond ring to pursue her, so she had no reason turn him down.
Tang Beibei didn’t know what to do. She covered her face with her hands and walked into the crowd.
Seeing her escape, Song Hai immediately got up and chased after her. Everyone was puzzled.
“Hey, handsome, the girl you are after hasn’t answered you. Don’t give up now.” Someone pointed at Xin Wei, who was holding the bouquet of flowers.
Xin Wei and Tang Beibei were standing together. Song Hai was kneeling on one knee, facing the two of them. Xin Wei was holding the flowers, so everyone assumed he was pursuing Xin Wei.
“The girl I’m after has already left!”
Song Hai was frustrated. He wanted to chase after Tang Beibei but was blocked by the crowd. Tang Beibei had already run far away.
“Hey, isn’t she the girl you want to pursue? She’s the one holding the flowers.” Everyone said.
When Xin Wei heard the crowd’s words, her face turned red. She looked at Song Hai and said shyly, “Young Master Song Hai, since she is unwilling, 1,1 am willing to be your girlfriend.”

Song Hai turned to look at Xin Wei and frowned in disgust.
This woman’s online influencer makeup was so badly done. She was no match for Tang Beibei’s natural beauty.
Tang Beibei, the woman Song Hai was after, would never be able to escape!
