"Hello, Jiangg! Oh, we got back to school early and were planning a barbecue on the back mountain. That's not against the rules, is it?"
It wasn't that they were afraid of Jiangg Ning, exactly.
It was mainly respect.
After all, she was an associate professor at the university, and a well-known one at that.
'But why is she on the back mountain?'
The friends didn't give it much thought.
Their instinctive respect for the university's faculty kept them from saying anything more. They all held their breath, afraid they'd be reprimanded.
"It's not against the rules. I'm here for a barbecue, too."
This was unexpected.
When Jiangg Ning's magnetic, gentle voice rang out, the friends were all stunned.
Then they let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Oh, so you're here for a barbecue too, Ma'am. You gave us a scare! Just goes to show what a great day it is to be outside."
"Yeah, yeah, haha."
Wei Zhen and Liu Nan chuckled awkwardly. It couldn't have sounded more fake.
