Chapter 19: Gaining Attention
19 Gaining Attention
Jun Hua was only standing with a calm and indifferent expression, while girls surrounded him. They didn't know his identity, but they knew that he belonged to a noble family because of his clothes. They rarely went outside the school premises and even more they would see a boy as handsome as him. Being that they were unmarried young ladies, they would usually stay inside. Thus, when they saw Jun Min they were all greatly surprised.
The number of handsome men was plenty; however most of them were already married. They hardly saw someone as young as him with such a very handsome feature. A lot of these girls already started falling for him and wanted to get to know him. Who knew, maybe they could be the lucky girl?
Jun Hua ignored those girls and swept her gaze on the crowd. Finally, she found Xia and Yamin standing frozen on their spot near the door. Jun Hua felt helpless. Alright, I want to make some of the girls love-struck, but I didn't mean to include both of them.
With nothing she could do, Jun Hua walked in large strides towards the two of them. Only when she arrived in front of them did they come to their senses.
"Young Master…" Xia stammered.
Yamin gulped, "Big brother..."
Jun Hua sighed secretly in relief. "Jun Hua, come. It's time to go home."
"Yes," Yamin said in a soft voice then turned her head towards Fan Lanying. "I'll see you next Monday."
Fan Lanying nodded absent-mindedly. Her eyes were still following Jun Hua closely. She had never seen a man that handsome. Fine, his face looked a bit girly, but it didn't diminish the domineering aura he had around him.
Remembering his identity as a general, it made sense that the boy would have such an aura. Fan Lanying wondered, how could a person be so perfect? He had an attractive face, good at martial arts, and could even become a general at young age. Who could ever compare to him?
On the side, Lin Yuan also stood frozen. She had known about the achievement Jun Min gained in the battlefield, but she never expected to see that person to have a slender body and handsome feature. She knew that he was handsome, but who can expect that he would be so attractive to this extent? Her thoughts started to drift away.
Jun Hua wanted to leave this place immediately. Although it was her plan to appear before them, she was not really comfortable seeing their eyes looking so love-struck. However, a certain someone made it difficult for to leave that fast.
"Good afternoon, General Jun Min."
Xuan Pei caught wind of Jun Min's arrival and he came out there because of curiosity. But with one glance alone, he almost regretted coming out. The person, whose name was made famous being a young general, would soon become famous because of that kind of face. He had wanted to meet him, but certainly not under the watch of those hungry girls.
Jun Hua stopped in her tracks. "You're Teacher Pei? I have heard about you from my sister. You're a good teacher."
Xuan Pei smiled in return. "Please don't call me teacher. In front of you I don't deserve that title."
"May I ask if there's anything you need from me?"
"I want to ask about the possibility of you joining the academy. You're one of the rare figures who have never gone to the academy," Xuan Pei said carefully.
Jun Hua thought about it carefully. There were only a handful of nobles who never tasted how the academy was. Most of them were a failure, but only Jun Hua was not. Even those famous young generals have at least joined some classes once, but then, they just disappeared since attending an academy was too low for them.
Girls within earshot have perked up. If Jun Min started attending the academy, they would be able to see him every day!
Finally, Jun Hua shook her head. "I'm afraid I don't have the luxury to attend the academy. If I have time, then maybe I would visit."
Xuan Pei nodded in understanding. He was a bit disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it. It wasn't like he could force this general to bid his wishes. "I see. Then, may I know when will you be visiting to the academy again?"
Jun Hua flashed a look at Yamin. Yamin suddenly had a bad feeling and sure enough, her Miss' next word almost made her want to collapse.
"I will pick up my sister every Friday."
Xuan Pei's eyes gleamed. "Then see you next week, General Jun Min."
As Jun Hua lead Yamin and Xia to the carriage, the girls were excitedly discussing the news they have just heard. They were quite disappointed when they heard that Jun Min won't join the academy, but if he comes over once a week, it will be enough!
"Miss, do I have to be 'Jun Hua' every Friday."
Jun Hua stared back and Yamin instantly knew what it meant. It seemed like from now on she had another task on hand, that was learning math.
Xia looked at Jun Hua mournfully. "Miss, you should have told me your plan beforehand. How could my pitiful heart bear facing this kind of face?"
Jun Hua laughed. "Even after staying with me for so long, you haven't gotten used with my face? Don't tell me that you have fallen for me again?"
In truth, she nearly did! Xia could only bear with Jun Hua's teasing as both of them headed to the Jun family's estate. When they arrived, Madam Mu was already waiting for them. Her eyes flashed with interest when she saw how 'Jun Hua' and 'Jun Min' looked so incredibly beautiful and handsome.
"With such a getup, I doubt the girls could keep their calm."
Jun Hua grinned. "They're all really stirred up. My bet is by the next Monday, there will be a lot of girls trying to get close with Jun Hua."
Jun Zhenxian, who was standing behind Madam Mu, sighed when he heard her words. "You lass, just what is your plan now?"
"My plan has just begun Grandpa. Though, it might take a long time." 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
"Take all the time you need. If you need any help, I'm here."
"Thank you."
After talking, it's time for another lesson for Jun Hua.
