Chapter 224 Your Face Is So Red
The large classroom was suddenly filled with gasps.
"Sebastian? Is it the Sebastian I'm thinking of?"
"There is only one Sebastian Russell at Harmony College."
"Alright then."
"Oh my God! He's so tall and handsome, and he's teaching our class!"
People are visual creatures.
When they see something beautiful, they naturally appreciate, marvel, and praise it.
Hestia was no exception, but the more she looked at this professor, the more familiar he seemed. "Hey, Camilla, isn't that the guy who called out to you outside the cafeteria the other day?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, he's actually Sebastian?"
Camilla was puzzled. "You don't know him? He was one of the interviewers during the graduate admissions."
"Huh?" Hestia scratched her head, "He wasn't there when I was interviewed. The only professor I recognized was Calliope."
"That's strange. Calliope wasn't there during my interview. Were you interviewed in the morning or afternoon?"
Hestia replied, "Afternoon."
"That explains it. I was interviewed in the morning."
"I see."
Camilla suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something.
She remembered Clara was also interviewed in the afternoon and had asked her about the interview questions.
Calliope wasn't there in the morning but was there in the afternoon.
Coupled with the recent news that Calliope's team had purchased a CPRT measuring instrument out of their own pocket.
The reason Clara was recruited by Calliope became very clear.
She was a cash cow.
On the podium, Sebastian finished his brief self-introduction and prepared to start the class.
Today, he was wearing a light gray shirt, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, making his gaze appear much softer through the lenses.
Standing there, he exuded an air of"elegance.
Suddenly, a student spoke up from the audience. "Professor Russell, can I ask you a question?"
Sebastian replied, "Sure."
"Professor Russell, you're very famous and accomplished," the student began by praising Sebastian, "but you're from the Physics Department. Can you really teach our Bioinformatics class?"
Sebastian said, "First of all, thank you for your compliment. I also started in the Life Sciences Department before switching to Physics. The administration conducts relevant assessments and evaluations before assigning substitute teachers, so you don't need to worry about my expertise. I assure you, I'm qualified."
Camilla couldn't help but smile.
Sebastian said, "Secondly, you are all graduate students. Unlike undergraduates, you should not only focus on the professional knowledge itself but also develop research thinking and logic. You should consider problems from a research perspective rather than just passively accepting the teacher's knowledge. In this regard, whether it's Physics, Biology, or any other discipline, the thinking patterns are interconnected. And this is the most important thing I can teach you."
"Professor Russell! I have a question too. Are you single?"
It seemed that no young and handsome teacher could escape this question.
Sebastian glanced at the student who asked and replied calmly, "Too many questions will delay the class. Let's discuss this later. Today, we'll talk about the role and status of big data in the development of bioinformatics, and the relationship between..."
The class flew by.
Sebastian didn't finish his lecture, but as soon as the bell rang, he closed his book promptly. "Class dismissed."
Then he picked up his things and left first.
"Is he always this cool?" Hestia exclaimed.
Camilla quickly got up and grabbed her bag, "Hestia, I have something to do, so I won't be eating with you today."
"Oh, okay! Camilla, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Camilla was already far away.
Hestia was puzzled and thought, 'Is it that urgent?'
It was rare to see Camilla in such a hurry.
Camilla chased after Sebastian all the way to the tree-lined path and finally stopped him.
Sebastian looked at her in surprise.
Camilla took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then looked up directly at Sebastian, "Sebastian, do you have a problem with me?"
Sebastian's heart trembled.
He didn't expect Camilla to catch up, let alone ask such a question.
"No." How could he have a problem with her?
"If not, then why have you been avoiding me lately?"
Sebastian's eyes flickered, not daring to meet her gaze.
He was clearly feeling guilty.
"I'm not avoiding you." He coughed lightly and answered in a low voice.
"Is there something I don't know about?" Camilla asked again.
Sebastian's expression stiffened.
Unconsciously, those indescribable scenes and details flashed through his mind again.
And the woman in his dreams was now standing right in front of him.
All he had to do was reach out, and he could hold her in his arms like in the dream, then lower his head and slowly kiss her...
At this thought, Sebastian suddenly snapped back to reality, wishing he could slap himself.
Looking up and meeting Camilla's clear and pure eyes, he felt even more ashamed.
"Sebastian? Sebastian!"
"Huh? Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"Are you sick?" Camilla looked at him with some concern.
"Your face is so red." She pointed to her cheek.
It looked like he had a fever.
Sebastian became even more flustered, "It must be the hot weather, making me flushed."
"Is that so?" Camilla accepted this explanation.
"I don't know why you've been avoiding me lately. Of course, it could be my misunderstanding, but that's not important."
Camilla's gaze was focused, and her expression was sincere, "But from now on, can you promise me not to do that? Or if there's something wrong, just tell me directly. I don't like guessing games."
She didn't want to lose Sebastian as a good mentor and friend for some inexplicable reason.
He responded softly, "Okay."
Camilla smiled, "Then let's go to the cafeteria together?"
Sebastian exhaled lightly and nodded in agreement.
At the cafeteria, Hestia, who was also there for lunch, looked at a certain spot with her mouth slightly open.
Royce, sitting across from her, couldn't stand it anymore, "Can you close your mouth?"
Hestia said, "Sorry, I can't."
Royce was puzzled.
She gestured with her chin, and Royce turned to look. Then, he was stunned.
Camilla and Sebastian were sitting together, eating and chatting.
They were harmonious.
"What's so interesting?" Royce withdrew his gaze and continued eating.
Hestia said, "Hey, do you think Sebastian is handsome?"
Royce answered honestly, "Yeah."
"Is Camilla pretty?"
"Yeah."
"Then what do you think of them together?"
Royce looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Do they make a good match?"
Royce's mouth twitched. "Just eat your food and stop worrying about others."
Hestia pouted, this guy was no fun!
After eating, Sebastian had to go to the lab, so he and Camilla parted ways at the cafeteria entrance.
He walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back.
Camilla was puzzled.
