Chapter 221 What's the point of being so arrogant?
Xia Yang had barely seen Le An for the first two days of his arrival. When he showed up on the third day, he was already very familiar with the structure of the house, including every security system, and had checked them all over again.
Ying's house's security system is top-notch, which is why Fu Xiuyan asked him to move in.
Those who had been stalking Xia Yang at Qingyun Mountain Residence didn't see her leave the complex until the start of the school year at Jinghai University. Then, when photos of Xia Yang were taken at school and flooded the internet, people realized they had been tricked.
The extra security and cleaning staff at Qingyun Villa had clearly made them notice, even "very inadvertently," that they were paying particular attention to what was happening in Xia Yang's house. This was all for show; the people had already left. They'd been squatting in an empty house for half a month!
On the first day of school, many people paid special attention to Xia Yang. The school had been well prepared, with thorough security measures. Those not from the school were kept at the gates.
Some were family members of students who had come to join in the fun, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to see Xia Yang's true appearance. However, after seeing the school's strict security measures, they felt embarrassed about their disturbing behavior and quickly left.
The remaining ones standing still at the school gate were paparazzi. Although Fu Xiuyan had announced his arrival on the day he joined the crew, the crew's inability to enter still didn't stop some paparazzi from waiting at Xia Yang's school, hoping for a lucky break. What if he showed up? Even if they couldn't catch Fu Xiuyan, catching Xia Yang was still a good thing; it wouldn't be a loss at all. These people were like flies in the summer; their bites wouldn't hurt, but they would disgust you and you couldn't drive them away.
They gathered outside the school gate, and the school was helpless.
Fortunately, they didn't stay there for long. From the time they arrived here to the time they all disappeared, it was only an hour.
Later, it was discovered that Fu Xiuyan's studio had issued a warning to all companies involved. Fu Xiuyan would no longer accept interviews from any company that disrupted students at Xiayang School. Those who continued to act recklessly would bear the consequences.
If these words had come from Fu Xiuyan before his identity was exposed, some might have dared to challenge him. But now, it was clear that the phrase "you will bear the consequences at your own risk" was about more than just being able to interview the movie star. With Cheng Yan taking on this mantle, who could possibly survive? They didn't even have to make a move; just this one attitude alone had countless people and companies rushing to help Cheng Yan deal with them.
So this group of people came quickly and left quickly. When Xia Yang arrived at the school, everything was the same as usual.
Xia Yang went to class. The students were all fine, though a little distracted by his striking attire. Actually, he was dressed normally, just no longer in his usual black suit and without his ever-present black-framed glasses. Compared to the dazzling Professor Xia they'd seen on TV and phones during the holidays, his attire today was quite ordinary. But his entrance still gave the whole classroom a sense of brilliance. It felt more like a catwalk than a classroom.
But as soon as the bell rang and Xia Yang began to speak, the students instantly returned to their familiar state. It was undoubtedly their Professor Xia. Aside from the change in attire, the recipe remained the same. They quickly shifted their attention from Xia Yang's appearance to the classroom.
Xia Yang had only one class today. After class, he went to the lab building. His graduate students had returned to campus early a few days ago and were all in the lab.
Xia Yang brought Le An with him. Le An carried a huge package in his left and right hands and went to the laboratory.
"What did you just say is true? Did the professor really wish you a Happy New Year?"
"Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true."
"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~ Guess whether I believe this or not. This is not Professor Xia's style at all. Are you hallucinating?"
"Don't believe me, you won't have the chance to hear it anyway. Humph!"
"Why are you so arrogant?"
Then a third voice came to try to smooth things over: "You just returned to school today, so you don't know. He's been talking about this for three days. Just wait and see. I estimate he can talk about it for a year. However, if it were me, I could brag about it for a year too."
"Hmph, you're special. When the professor comes over, I'll say Happy New Year to him too."
"Pfft! How can this be the same?"
"Why is it different?"
Just by listening to the voice, Xia Yang knew that this student was arguing with his neck stiff. He was a stubborn student with a temper similar to Le An's.
Le An pushed the door open and walked in. The noise inside suddenly stopped. The room was completely silent.
"What's wrong? Who just said they wanted to say Happy New Year to me? Why don't you say it anymore?" Xia Yang said with a smile.
Several students were stunned for a long time. They were really unfamiliar with Professor Xia. He was even more handsome than they had seen on TV, with more delicate features. The way he was dressed today, he looked even younger than them.
On second thought, Professor Xia seemed to be about the same age as them, and the two seniors seemed to be older than Professor Xia. It was just that Professor Xia used to dress himself old, so they all ignored this fact.
Besides, was Professor Xia joking with them just now? Right?
"Where should I put these?" A tall, ferocious-looking man suddenly appeared at the door of the laboratory, looking completely out of place. He startled them.
Xia Yang casually pointed to a table and said, "That's it."
Le An walked back inside. "Please move aside." He frowned at the two students blocking the table, mentally complaining for the hundredth time: "What a bunch of idiots! They don't even know how to greet the teacher, and they're so tactless that they don't even move when they're blocking the way." Young Master Xia is such a clever man, why are all his students so clueless?
"Ah? Oh!!! Sorry, sorry, let me do it." The student came to his senses and thought that it was some experimental equipment brought by the professor. The people in front of him looked big and strong, so he must not bump into them accidentally.
That student was the one who said he wanted to say Happy New Year to Xia Yang. Le An recognized him the moment he opened his mouth. He was a head shorter than Le An. Le An lowered his eyes, looked at him with amusement, and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, thank you for your help." The student nodded. Le An raised an eyebrow and handed him a package with a smile: "Okay. Go ahead."
The students couldn't understand Le An's smile, and they just sighed in their hearts that although this man looked scary, he was actually quite polite.
He reached out to catch it with both hands, but Le An loosened his grip and the package fell straight down as if it was carrying a heavy hammer.
"Ah..." Everyone, except Xia Yang, was also shocked by this sudden change.
Le An picked up the package with one hand just before it touched the ground. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Want to try another one?"
He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no." Then he quickly made way for Le An.
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, he effortlessly placed the two packages on the table. That student was the strongest person in the room. Whenever anything heavy needed moving in the lab, he was the one who did it. He was their strongman. Even he couldn't lift things, but this guy could lift them one at a time, as if he were carrying a baby chick. How painful would it be if he hit someone like that?
