It all started with a special physical examination for university employees.
Yin He, a university lecturer, was summoned to the principal's office. He looked down at the inexplicable result on his report, "Sanity: S+," then looked up at the principal, who was beaming at him.
Rubbing his hands together, the principal asked warmly, "Professor Yin, would you consider the position of associate professor in the biology department at A University?"
Yin He: ?
You mean the associate professorship in a top department at A University, ranked number one nationally and in the global top 50?
This kind of good fortune actually exists?
Facing the prospect of either being promoted or let go, Yin He took the principal's hand on the spot. "I'll do it!"
And so, the next day.
He went to A University.
He started work as an associate professor.
His salary went up.
Everything was wonderful. In high spirits, Yin He walked to the lectern and looked at the students below.
Fifty eyeballs happily swimming in formalin;
One bizarre creature eating its own fingers during class;
A mountain of gold, able to talk, write, eat, and drink formalin;
One snakeskin bag, lurking and crawling through the shadows like a vampire...
Yin He: "..."
No matter. Teaching is teaching, and even a dog will have to finish the lesson before it can leave his classroom.
He tapped the blackboard and said cheerfully, "Good morning, everyone!"
After that,
within just two months, Yin He rose to the top of A University's Interstellar Exchange College list of most popular professors.
Whenever he taught, enthusiastic international students would pack the classroom to overflowing.
After graduation season ended one year, an international student even tried to kidnap the professor and take him back to their home planet...
Rescued from a spaceship by the dean, Yin He was in a sorry state. He turned around and saw that the very human-looking dean had grown a tail.
Gratefully, he grabbed the dean's tail and said, "Thank you, Dean. I'll be sure to keep up the good work."
Dean: "..."
It silently pulled its tail from the human's grasp, gave a cool nod, and hid the tail that had turned pink behind its back.
From then on, the Interstellar College added a new rule:
"Human professors are AAA-class protected assets at this college. International students are forbidden from coveting them!"
TIPS:
A lighthearted slice-of-life story, a comforting bedtime read, 1v1, aloof snake dean X human professor with stable sanity
