kiss the night

It is not uncommon for a new professor to come in, however, if the new professor is a local councilor and nobleman, it is another matter.

Yan Zhao couldn't believe his ears, he repeated Jesse's words dully: "You mean, Duke Laurentine?"

"Yeah!" Jessie's eyes burst out with excitement. Her reaction is not uncommon in the class. Most of the students were shocked when they heard the news. After all, in Renal City, In a not too big city, the Duke of Laurentine has always been a very important part of the urban legend.

He sometimes appears on TV screens, accepts some interviews with local media, and sometimes passers-by see his private car speeding past on the street, leaving behind a trail of car exhaust... But no matter what, There are very few opportunities for Laurentine to actually appear in front of the public. Compared to other lords who always like to get involved in political elections, Laurentine is so low-key that he doesn't look like one of the MPs.

"I often hear people say that Mr. Duke is an idler." The boy in the front row turned around and joined the team of gossip again uninvited, "Why did he suddenly come to be a special-term professor?"

Yanzhao was quite critical of what he said about "idling around", but Jesse reacted more strongly: "It's not idleness, I once found an academic book in the library, it probably talked about the industrial revolution , the name of Duke Laurentine appeared in the last acknowledgment there."

The boy in the front row asked curiously, "How did you write it?"

"It's 'Sincerely thank Duke Laurentine for his help in completing the book'." Jesse rolled his eyes.

Yan Zhao was just listening, but then he suddenly realized a question, he asked: "Laurentin, is that Mr. Duke's surname or first name?" He was still not familiar with the rules here.

"Name." Jesse explained. "No one knows his last name, which is also a strange thing in Rainer."

Yanzhao remembered the "Your Highness" that Gilbert blurted out that morning. He thought that Mr. Duke should have the blood of the royal family, but if it was the blood of the royal family, why didn't he say his surname?

Yan Zhao is not a person who likes to talk very much. He is restrained and used to hide his thoughts, so Jesse and the boys in the front row have no idea what Yan Zhao is thinking, and their topic does not continue to stop at Laurentian surname, turned to gossip about the morning news.

"I heard that there is another piece of entertainment news today, which is also a big event." Jessie is like a loudspeaker, taking out all the new things he read in the newspaper and repeating, "After Catherine's concert in Philadelphia No paparazzi caught her whereabouts, the previously announced next stop of the tour was delayed, and there were rumors that she disappeared."

"Who is Catherine?" Obviously, the boys in the front row were not interested in things in the entertainment industry.

"That star, you don't know her!" Jessie sighed.

What they talked about next, Yan Zhao didn't quite understand. Although he had been studying here for half a year, his schedule was still between the apartment and the school. He would occasionally go to the supermarket north of the apartment to buy some daily necessities. Besides, the farthest place Yan Zhao has ever been to is Red Moon Manor.

Red Moon Manor, Duke Laurentine.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhao unconsciously felt his heart beat a little faster. Although he knew that he and that Mr. Duke were completely different people, the reason why the other party helped him was probably just a little effort from kindness... Even so, Yan Zhao was still a little Looking forward to Laurentine coming to the school to teach them, what will the handsome and noble Mr. Duke look like when he lectures.

On the day Laurentine came to the school, there was a great battle. The principal, the dean and the student ceremonial team all greeted him at the school gate.

Although Renal is a small city, the University of Renal is still ranked high in the world. Its history is almost as long as the city was founded. You can also see a little green.

Spring is coming to this steamy city, and the long and harsh winter is finally over.

The grown-up got out of a stretched black car. He was wearing a black turtleneck base layer, a casual suit of the same color outside, and a gentleman's hat on his head. His light blonde hair protruded from the back of the hat. , and the ends were held together by a dark hair band, with a gentle and polite smile on his face all the time.

When he was standing next to the principal, the students realized that this gentleman was half a head taller than a man of normal stature. Expensive.

Hearing Jessie's gasp beside her, Yan Zhao couldn't help grabbing Yan Zhao's arm and sighing in a low voice: "God, Zhao, I swear to you, if our European history is brought by this lord, then I dare Guaranteed that I will use all my spare time to study and get a good grade."

Seeing her staring straight, Yan Zhao couldn't help feeling cute, and joked, "Then what if Mr. Duke is strict?"

"Then please feel free to insult me!" Jessie closed his eyes, pretending to be enjoying himself exaggeratedly.

Yan Zhao laughed dumbfoundedly.

Standing a few meters away, Laurentine seemed to have heard Yan Zhao's voice. He swept his eyes in Yanzhao's direction, and sensitively caught the sensitive look of the boy with his head lowered. Laurentine bent the corner of his mouth, Turning my attention back to the principal: "Let's go, Mr. Principal, I didn't intend for you to go to great lengths to welcome me. Since you have agreed to teach, you can just treat me as an ordinary teacher."

The principal praised Laurentine for his amiability, but how could he really dare to treat him as an ordinary teacher, so he led him into the main building of the school with a polite greeting.

At noon, almost everyone was discussing the coaching of the Duke. Even if they were not from the School of Humanities and did not take European history courses, many expressed their willingness to attend.

Yanzhao knew that it was young people's curiosity about new things, and of course, he himself was not exempt.

I don't know why, Yan Zhao always feels that he is in a good mood when he sees Laurentine. While pulling the steak on the plate, he recalls the half-smile in Laurentine's eyes at the school gate just now.

Is he looking at me?Yan Zhao couldn't help thinking, after all, he had met Laurentine a few times. Compared with other students, maybe he would be a relatively special one in Laurentine's heart.

However, Yan Zhao felt worried again, because in the few times he met with Laurentine, he was always in such a distressed image, and I don't know if Mr. Duke would think that he is an unlucky person who is used to messing things up because of these. Egg, but he does mess things up a lot.

Jessie watched Yanzhao's mind wandering from the side, showing a shy smile for a while, and frowning for a while, like a mime, very interesting.

She couldn't help pushing Yanzhao's shoulder: "What's the matter? I don't think you are so absent-minded when eating."

"No, no!" Yan Zhao came back to his senses, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, that Mr. Duke and I...maybe we will be called Mr. Laurentine now, because he is ours after all. Teacher, in short, I have met him a few times."

"Really!? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before." Jessie moved his head closer again, with "Let's talk about it" written all over his face.

However, just before Yan Zhao opened his mouth, another figure suddenly sat at their dining table.

It's Lorraine.

Lorraine didn't hold a plate or cutlery in her hand. On the contrary, she was holding a deck of Tarot cards in her hand.

"It's a bad thing." She said, with a serious expression on her face, "I smell blood here, maybe something bad is coming to this campus."

Yan Zhao has gotten used to Lorraine's mysterious appearance from time to time, however, Jessie still can't understand the brain circuit of this red-haired girl, she complained "Oh", the tone slipped at the end, and her eyebrows frowned Get up: "Lorraine! Why do you always like to spoil the atmosphere."

"Sorry." Lorraine replied very calmly, then raised her head to look at Yan Zhao, and suddenly asked, "Zhao, who are you?"

Yan Zhao was called out suddenly, and he froze in place. The beef on his fork rolled onto the plate, and a little oil splashed onto his sweater. Yan Zhao hurriedly wiped his body, hearing that Jesse seemed really angry. , defended: "Lorraine, it's really rude of you to ask such a question! Zhao, let's go after eating, maybe it will be really contagious after staying with weird people for a long time."
