Xu Chang'an was originally sipping tea when Zhu Pingniang suddenly gave him a 'profound' look, leaving him quite bewildered.
What did Zhu Pingniang mean by giving him that look?
Was she... asking him to play wingman for her?
Xu Chang'an felt a bit helpless.
It's not that he didn't want to lend Zhu Pingniang a hand, nor was he someone lacking perceptiveness. He could sense Zhu Pingniang's eagerness... but as a junior, he couldn't possibly speak up in this setting.
If Zhu Pingniang weren't in such a hurry, he might have been able to think of a way to bring up a topic and create an opportunity for her.
But with Zhu Pingniang's direct approach now, Xu Chang'an couldn't even find a chance to interject. After all, if he spoke up, it would be like openly supporting Zhu Pingniang in her pursuit of his own teacher...
If the teacher got angry, the consequences would be severe for him.
