He quietly opened the door and went out.
Downstairs from the Faculty Apartments.
Jiang Yichen arrived, and Qin Ling was doing warm-up exercises.
“Good morning, Professor Qin.”
Jiang Yichen greeted.
“Morning.”
Qin Ling nodded in response.
At 6:30 AM, there was no one downstairs from the Faculty Apartments.
The rising sun cast a golden glow.
“Don’t talk while running,” Qin Ling reminded him. “It’s easy to get a stitch.”
Jiang Yichen looked around, was Qin Ling talking to him?
“Professor Qin, I haven’t said anything.” Jiang Yichen asked in confusion.
“I’m just reminding you to be careful not to get a stitch while running.”
Qin Ling guessed that with Jiang Yichen’s personality, he would keep calling “Professor Qin, Professor Qin” while running.
“Okay.”
Although Jiang Yichen felt this reminder was a little strange.
“Let’s brisk walk for a while, then run,” Qin Ling said.
“Okay.”
Jiang Yichen swung his arms and legs, fully prepared.
During military training, he was also woken up to run every morning, running two laps around the track before eating.
For the first fifteen minutes, Jiang Yichen followed Qin Ling without any problems.
But after that, he started to struggle.
“Wait, wait, Professor Qin…” Jiang Yichen quickly called out.
“I just told you not to talk while running.”
Qin Ling’s forehead was now covered in fine sweat, but she was still in good condition. Usually, she ran for thirty minutes or five kilometers.
“No… wait, I…”
Jiang Yichen couldn’t take it anymore.
His frail body couldn’t compare to hers.
If he ran any longer, he would need to rest again.
“Need to rest again?” Qin Ling asked.
“Wow…” Jiang Yichen was slightly stunned, and after reacting, gave a thumbs-up to the perceptive Professor Qin. “Yes.”
Qin Ling slowly slowed down.
Jiang Yichen felt much better.
“Can you still run?” Qin Ling asked.
“How much longer?”
“Fifteen minutes, maybe.”
“What!?” Jiang Yichen’s legs went weak upon hearing this, he stopped, squatted down, and gasped for breath.
“I can’t run anymore, Professor Qin, you run, don’t worry about me.” Jiang Yichen waved his hand. He had already run for fifteen minutes, another fifteen minutes…
He would be exhausted.
Seeing Jiang Yichen’s exhausted state, Qin Ling also stopped. “Let’s stop here.”
After speaking, she took the towel hanging around her neck and put it on Jiang Yichen’s head.
Jiang Yichen was stunned, holding the towel.
Professor Qin seemed to smell good everywhere.
Her hair, clothes, hands, body, and even this towel smelled like perfume…
“Wipe yourself.” Qin Ling said.
“Oh…”
Jiang Yichen wiped it haphazardly and returned the towel…
Qin Ling was slightly panting, took the towel, and started to wipe the sweat from her head.
Jiang Yichen stared intently at Professor Qin’s actions.
“What are you looking at?” Qin Ling asked.
“…Nothing.”
……
The two returned to the apartment.
It wasn’t even seven o’clock yet.
Jiang Yichen first took out the leftover pickled cabbage fish from the refrigerator.
After heating the dish, he started to cook the noodles.
However, he didn’t cook it himself, but asked Qin Ling to do it, while he stood aside to guide her.
“Boil the water first, then put the noodles in boiling water and cook them until they’re done, don’t overcook them, keep the noodles springy and tasty.”
Jiang Yichen instructed seriously.
Seeing the usually aloof professor acting like a obedient student under his guidance, Jiang Yichen felt happy.
“Jiang Yichen, you seem very happy?”
Qin Ling was carefully following Jiang Yichen’s instructions step by step.
But the smile on his face was too bright…
“Cough, cough” Jiang Yichen suppressed his smile and said seriously, “Professor Qin, I think we can address each other differently in the future, you call me Teacher Jiang, and I’ll call you Professor Qin.”
“In the future, you’ll teach me how to play the piano, and I’ll teach you how to cook, I’m not bragging, although my skills can’t compare to those five-star chefs, they’re still pretty good, you’ll definitely learn a lot!”
Jiang Yichen suggested seriously.
Qin Ling didn’t reply, but turned her head and looked at Jiang Yichen expressionlessly.
“Um…” Jiang Yichen felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, and quickly said, “No, no, Professor Qin, I was just kidding, don’t mind.”
“Teacher Jiang.” Qin Ling called out.
She had seen the expectant expression on Jiang Yichen’s face clearly.
“!!!” The corners of Jiang Yichen’s mouth immediately turned up.
“Are you that happy?” Qin Ling suddenly felt that this person beside her was silly, it was just a title, was he that happy.
“No, no…” Jiang Yichen said no, but the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.
The aloof professor called him Teacher.
Hehe…
Honestly, Professor Qin’s “Teacher Jiang” made him speechless.
“Still not?” Qin Ling immediately took out her phone and took a picture of the overjoyed Jiang Yichen, then handed it to him. “Look at yourself.”
Jiang Yichen took the phone, looked at it for a moment, and handed it back. He coughed again, putting on the air of an elder teacher. “That, little Qin, you are Teacher’s first student…”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Ling gave him a cold look. “What did you call me?”
“…Little… Qin?” Jiang Yichen whispered. Normally, he wouldn’t dare to call her that, but he felt that Professor Qin was more easygoing this morning, after all, she just called him Teacher Jiang…
“Jiang Yichen, hand-draw a copy of the piece you’ll be playing next week.”
Qin Ling said without room for refusal.
She wanted to fulfill his small wish and called him ‘Teacher Jiang’.
The result… this was really good, daring to call her ‘Little Qin’?
This is a reversal of Heaven’s Mandate!
