Chapter 12 — After Kicking the Medical Professor

After the survey started, he never actively touched me again, held things half a meter away, and even used the toe of his shoe to push it when he picked up the pen I dropped. This level of restraint actually makes my heart itch even more. Tran Du assessed this: "The atmosphere between the two of you is even more sour than my grandmother's jar of pickles." I took the book and fucked him. But during this half month, something happened. The weekend before the midterm exam, my father suddenly came to school. Without warning, he carried a huge bag of fruit, aggressively coming downstairs to the dormitory... My heart jumped.

“Dad, why didn't you give me a warning?”

"What? Are you afraid that dad will see something you shouldn't see?"

“…Is there anything you shouldn't look at?”

My father glanced at me meaningfully, but said nothing. He and I had lunch at the cafeteria, then said he wanted to visit Tham Khinh Chu. I sat next to him as if sitting on a fire, wanting to find a reason to stop him, but my father's long legs walked quickly, and I could not keep up with him. When Tham Khinh Chu's office door was knocked open, he was slumped over the desk editing his thesis. Seeing my father, he was a little stunned, then immediately stood up: "Brother To? Why did you come so suddenly?"

“I'm passing by, so I'll take a quick turn to see how you two are doing.” My father willingly plopped down on the sofa, patting the empty space next to him, "Come here, daughter, sit down."

I had to grit my teeth and sit down. My father started chatting with Tham Khinh Chu, asking if he was busy at work or if he had a girlfriend recently. Tham Khinh Chu answered consistently, with a respectful and polite attitude, completely different from his face when facing me. I sat next to him and drank water, pretending not to care. Then my dad suddenly changed the subject: "That's right, Uncle Tham, last time you said you would arrange a teaching assistant position for your daughter, then I thought about it again and thought it was still not very good. She's only a first year, she doesn't know anything yet, she's just bothering me." Tham Khinh Chu smiled: "Don't bother, Van Le is very smart, learns very quickly."

"That can't be done either, I'm afraid it will ruin your work."

“Mr. To, the teaching assistant was originally to train students, he performed very well, I scored him 90 points on the mid-term anatomy practice exam.”

My father was surprised: "You scored it that high?"

“I took the exam myself.”

I sat next to me and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I'm doing it myself!" My father looked at me, then at Tham Khinh Chu, suddenly narrowing his eyes.

“Are you two... hiding something from me?”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly stopped for two seconds. My heart was pounding, the water in the cup almost spilled out. Tham Khinh Chu's expression didn't change, he just picked up his teacup and took a sip, then slowly put it down.

“What are you talking about, Mr. To?”

“I keep feeling like there's something unusual between you two.” My father frowned, "Last time I came, the atmosphere between you two was strange. Daughter, tell me, what's going on?"

Ba turned to look at me. My entire scalp was numb.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a teacher-student relationship, he really takes care of me..."

“So why is your face so red?”

“…Because the air conditioner is too hot.”

My father obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to ask, he just looked at Tham Khinh Chu one more time, his eyes filled with anger. according to a little investigation. Tham Khinh Chu received his gaze with a very calm expression. I silently gave him a thumbs up in my heart. This man's acting is so great. After sending my dad home, I slumped in the office chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Tham Khinh Chu closed the door, leaned against the door frame and looked at me, with a smile in his eyes.

“Are you scared?”

“Nonsense!” I stroked my chest, "The look in my dad's eyes just now, I thought he knew everything!"

“It is true that he was suspicious.”
