Teacher Tao had some impression of Chen Hao because he was the most handsome boy in her class. She remembered Chen Hao's information; he seemed to be from a small county in Shancheng City.
Are parents nowadays all so cautious? Is this not a bit too much?
She continued to probe, "I also know Yifei. How about I give her a call and ask her?"
With such a student in her class, she needed to know enough to handle the situation better.
Chen Hao felt a bit helpless. Taking a leave of absence could cause so many problems. He took out his phone and said, "I'll make the call."
"Uncle, I'm on my way to pick you up. I'll be there in about 10 minutes," Little Girl said, driving, after picking up Chen Hao's call.
"Sister Yifei, I'm currently asking the teacher for leave regarding our movie. The teacher wants to understand the situation," Chen Hao said respectfully.
Movie? What movie???
Although Little Girl was a bit confused, she understood that Uncle must have someone else with him, otherwise, he wouldn't call her "Sister Yifei."
"Little Haozi, do you want me to help you ask for leave?" Regardless of the reason, she'd take advantage first.
"Teacher Tao is right here. You can talk to her," Chen Hao said, handing the phone to Tao Enran.
Teacher Tao felt a bit awkward. She wasn't actually very familiar with Fairy Sister. While Jiang Yiyan had her issues, what she said wasn't wrong; Little Girl indeed didn't spend much time at school when she was studying. She was only familiar with people in her own class, and not really with people from other classes or grades.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Yi Fei, I'm Tao Enran, Chen Hao's homeroom teacher. He mentioned you have a movie to shoot and needs to take some time off, so I wanted to understand the situation."
She specifically called Little Girl 'Senior Apprentice Sister' to remind her that she was also a student of the academy.
"Ah, hello, Teacher Tao. We are indeed preparing a movie. I'll be at the school soon; let's talk when I arrive."
But Little Girl didn't understand these subtle hints. She only heard 'homeroom teacher' and instinctively called her 'Teacher.'
If she saw Tao Enran, she might find her face familiar, but by name, she really didn't have much impression.
After hanging up, Chen Hao thought for a moment, "Senior Apprentice Sister will be here soon. I'll go pick her up."
He had thought Fairy Sister would understand this small matter, but she was a bit silly, so he still had to go and coordinate with her.
Chen Hao met Fairy Sister at the academy entrance. As soon as she got out of the car, she excitedly asked, "Movie, what movie? Are you going to shoot a movie?"
"I'm taking leave to trade stocks in Hong Kong, so I'm using shooting a movie as an excuse." Chen Hao still wanted to salvage his image so he wouldn't seem like he changed his mind every day, which would be too unreliable.
"Ah, then after you take leave, won't it be exposed if there's no movie?"
"We can also shoot a movie incidentally. We'll discuss it later. For now, just help me handle the leave request."
Hearing there was a movie to shoot, Little Girl immediately patted her chest, indicating no problem.
But then she innocently asked, "What should I say when the teacher asks about the movie content?"
"Just say the script is still in the confidential stage. It's a crime-themed commercial film that needs to be shot in Hong Kong."
"Oh, oh!!" Little Girl nodded repeatedly. She was a big star now, shooting big projects, so she really didn't need to tell the teacher too much.
"Also, my teacher is from the 2003 cohort, a junior to you. Don't call her 'Teacher'; it makes it seem like you're not familiar with each other, which is awkward."
"Ah, a junior from the 2003 cohort is already a teacher?" Little Girl's focus was a bit strange.
"Our teacher's name is Tao Enran. She said she knows you. Even if you don't recognize her, pretend you do, and just call her Sister Tao. After all, you're younger."
"No, I'll call her Enran. I'm her senior. Why should I call her 'Sister'?" Little Girl loved to contend over titles.
"Whatever you want, just don't follow me in calling her 'Teacher.'" Encountering such a girl who didn't understand subtext at all, he also had a headache.
The two walked and chatted like this, passing through the school openly under the gaze of Chen Hao's classmates, and arrived at the teacher's office.
Little Girl saw Tao Enran, and she did recognize her, though she couldn't recall the name. However, she wasn't completely clueless. She affectionately called out "Enran" and went forward to greet her, appearing very familiar.
And Tao Enran's acting was even better. She affectionately called her "Qianqian," and the two left Chen Hao aside to chat. In fact, once Fairy Sister arrived, Chen Hao's leave was naturally no longer an issue; the specific movie became less important.
While the two were dealing with the teacher in the office, Chen Hao's roommates were also surrounded by classmates, all asking about Chen Hao's relationship with Fairy Sister.
Little Girl was the most representative senior apprentice sister in the school, the incredibly popular International Liu. The two had just walked through the school together, chatting and laughing, without avoiding anyone.
The brothers didn't know what to say. What relationship? They wanted to know too.
"Last night, Senior Apprentice Sister Yi Fei even came to pick him up for dinner, but as for what their relationship is, Haozi won't tell us either. You'll have to ask him yourselves," the fourth brother, Tao Yiran, quickly blurted out Chen Hao's date with Liu Yifei.
"What does Haozi's family do? Do you know?" While the boys in the class were still envying Chen Hao, some clever girls were already inquiring about Chen Hao's family background.
"Haozi said his family runs a small restaurant, just an ordinary family. I think there's something fishy," Tao Yiran said, uncertainly.
The girls collectively rolled their eyes. An idiot would know there's something fishy! Could this be an ordinary family?
Could he be the young master of some chain restaurant giant?
While everyone was discussing Chen Hao, this mysterious classmate, he had already gotten his leave approved and left the school with Fairy Sister, once again as a pair.
At this time, students from other grades were also dismissed, and the school became more crowded. Some who recognized Little Girl came up to greet her.
She responded generously, and some who were more familiar even stopped to chat for a few minutes, of course, not forgetting to introduce Chen Hao, saying he was her younger brother whom she had known for many years.
Chen Hao responded shyly on the surface, but inwardly, he was complaining furiously.
Brother, huh? One day, I'll make you call me Daddy.
Little Girl was doing it on purpose; she wasn't actually that outgoing and enthusiastic. But taking advantage of Chen Hao in front of others and watching him have to pretend to be her younger brother in front of outsiders made her incredibly happy.
Moreover, she could also declare her sovereignty first, lest this guy go around flirting in the academy.
Although the two were not in a romantic relationship, Little Girl had long considered this Uncle her own, and she didn't want others to share.
However, she was clearly inexperienced. Her actions, instead of achieving the desired effect, actually provided convenience for Chen Hao to flirt.
Chen Hao, who should have been obscure, now had a massive increase in attractiveness in the eyes of female classmates because of her.
As for the issue of sovereignty, who would care?
Wasn't it a very proud thing to be able to poach Fairy Sister?
