The students clapped politely. It was not the first time he had taken the podium, but this time, his eyes swept the room until they landed on Gu Jin.
"Gu Jin," he said loudly, "come sit beside me on the podium."
The whole class froze. Heads turned, eyes wide, and whispers broke out immediately.
Gu Jin blinked in surprise. "Why?"
Long Yifan smiled. "With you beside me, I will be able to teach better. Your presence will motivate me. And more importantly, if the students can see their idol up here, their attitude toward studying will improve."
The classroom erupted in excitement.
"Yes, yes! If Goddess Gu sits on the podium, I will finally have motivation!" one boy shouted.
"Please, let her! If I can look at her beauty while learning, I'll definitely remember every word of the lecture!" another laughed.
Some were even bolder. "Finally, we can ogle our goddess openly!"
