Yan Jinyu and Luo Yikun were very calm when they were called out. Only Wang Zhi cried again.
The contrast was indeed a little stark.
The three of them were called to the corridor outside the classroom. Hu Chengcheng spoke to Wang Zhi first and didn’t say much. She just asked her how her results fell so quickly. She also said some encouraging words like “work hard” and asked her to return to the classroom.
Then, it was Luo Yikun.
“Student Luo Yikun, I know that you have a good family background. Even if you don’t do well in your studies, you can still have a good life in the future. But people can’t live their lives in a daze like this.”
“I heard that you’ve been revising with Student Xu Gui recently. Student Xu Gui’s results have improved, but your results haven’t improved at all. I don’t think you’re a stupid child. You didn’t do it on purpose, right?”
He had done all the multiple choice questions in the test but scored a zero. Any teacher with a brain would know that he did it on purpose.
However, since Xiao Qun used to be the form teacher and Xiao Qun didn’t say anything about him, so Hu Chengcheng didn’t care too much either.
However, it was different now that she was the form teacher.
Luo Yikun had his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily against the wall behind him. He looked a little cynical and matched his playboy posture. “Teacher, you must be joking. Who would deliberately score zero?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. I’m not a fool. Although I don’t know why your Teacher Xiao didn’t expose you in the past, since I’m your form teacher now, I can’t ignore it.”
“No matter how good your family background is, you’ll still have to go to university in the future. You’ll either study overseas or go to university locally.”
“It’s fine if you go overseas to study. The results in the country won’t affect you much overseas either. However, if you go to university in the country, you can find a good university for you with your family’s connections. But what about after you go to university?”
“What if you meet someone you like very much in university? The other party doesn’t like someone who can only go to university because of his family’s connections. Instead, she likes someone with real talent. Wouldn’t you lose out?”
Luo Yikun’s lips twitched. Why didn’t he realize that this English teacher was so interesting in the past?
“Teacher, I’m still in my third year of high school. As the form teacher, don’t you think it’s not appropriate to tell me this? Although I stayed back one year in primary school because of my poor results, causing me to still be in my third year of high school at the age of 19, and even if I fall in love, it’s not considered early love. However, I’m still a high school student after all. It’s not appropriate to talk about romantic love.”
Hu Chengcheng looked at him meaningfully. “It’s rare for you to have such awareness.”
Did he really think that she didn’t know that he was a playboy famous for changing his girlfriend every other day? It was just that as a teacher, it was not appropriate for her to say it out loud.
“Anyway, the teacher has said all that needs to be said. You’re not young anymore. I believe you can understand what the teacher means. Really, if you meet someone you like especially when the other party likes someone outstanding and talented. You’ll lose out greatly.”
“Alright, go back to the classroom first.”
Luo Yikun first glanced at Yan Jinyu, who seemed to be watching a show. Then, he smiled at Hu Chengcheng and said, “Thank you, Teacher. I’ll remember your words.”
He nodded at Yan Jinyu, his attitude not as casual as before.
Then, he returned to the classroom.
Hu Chengcheng was puzzled.
Why did she feel that Luo Yikun, this cynical second-generation heir who had never given anyone face in school, seemed to have an extremely good attitude towards Yan Jinyu? He even looked a little respectful?
Was it her imagination?
Or was it because he was afraid of Master Nine that he had such an attitude towards Yan Jinyu?
On the other side, Luo Yikun returned to the classroom and sat down. He leaned over and asked Xu Gui, “Little Guizi, do you like an outstanding person or a hedonistic son?”
Xu Gui looked at him like he was crazy and even moved away vigilantly, “Why are you asking this out of the blue? What does the kind of person I like have to do with you?”
Luo Yikun smiled at him.
“S-since you care so much about me, so what if I tell you?”
“Is your brain rusty? Who doesn’t like an outstanding person? Why would they like a hedonistic son?”
“Is that so…”
Xu Gui felt uncomfortable. “Ridiculous!”
At the same time, outside the classroom.i
“Yan Jinyu, are you very familiar with Luo Yikun?”
Yan Jinyu blinked. “Why did you suddenly ask that, Teacher?”
Her innocent and playful look really touched Hu Chengcheng. She almost couldn’t help but raise her hand to pinch her cute face.
Fortunately, she still had some rationality.
“Nothing. I just think his attitude towards you is a little different.”
She lowered her voice. “It’s not that the teacher is deliberately talking bad about the student. Classmate Luo Yikun, how should I put it? I heard that his style is not good and he likes to lie to beautiful girls. In the past, I heard that he has had many girlfriends.”
As if she felt that it was not appropriate to say such words as a teacher, Hu Chengcheng coughed dryly, “Sigh, anyway, try not to interact with him as much as possible. Although you have Master Nine as your backer, Master Nine can’t always protect you. You’re innocent. What if you’re deceived by others’ sweet words and suffer?”
Yan Jinyu chuckled. “Teacher, you’re thinking too much. Even if Brother Nine can’t protect me all the time, with him as my backer, no one will dare to touch me.”
“Besides, I heard that Classmate Luo Yikun seems to have turned over a new leaf. He’s been coming to class every day recently and even teamed up with Classmate Xu Gui to study.”
Hu Chengcheng thought about it and agreed.
“Alright, I’m just reminding you. You’re a girl and you’re so obedient and beautiful. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“Ahem… Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s talk about your results.”
Yan Jinyu looked like a good student who was listening attentively.
“You’re the same as Luo Yikun. You’ve done all the multiple choice questions, but only your English has some marks. Are you hiding your strength on purpose like him?”
Hu Chengcheng looked like she had seen through her.
“No, Brother Nine only tutored me in English. The rest is my true standard.”
Of course, Hu Chengcheng didn’t believe her. “Since that’s the case, let Master Nine help you on the other subjects. I hope you can get a good result in the college entrance examination.”
“You’ll have to live in the capital in the future. You should also choose a university in the capital. With Master Nine’s ability, it’s not difficult for him to find a good university for you to study in, but that will definitely attract gossip.”
“Although I don’t come from a high background and can’t come into contact with that level, I know that the Yin Family isn’t an ordinary family. Master Nine is such an outstanding person. You have to make others unable to reproach you whenever you can.”
“I didn’t mean to pressure you. I just wanted you to know that even if you didn’t do well in the future, at least you tried, right?”
“Besides, in my opinion, if you really work hard, you might not fail the test. I believe you.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “Thank you.”
“I’ve said everything that I should say as the new form teacher. Now, I’ll speak to you in my personal capacity.”
“Thank you for your help at the hot spring villa that day. You asked that fatty to go back and tell my father that he acknowledged me as his sister. After that, my father no longer dared to interfere in my matters. Now that I’ve also moved out of that family, they can’t control me either.”
“If you hadn’t stepped in to help, I don’t know what would have happened to me now.”
“I didn’t do anything either. It’s good that Teacher is fine.”
Looking at Hu Chengcheng, Yan Jinyu smiled and asked, “Pardon me for asking, but the teacher has always been so against matchmaking arranged by your family. Do you intend to remain single for the rest of your life?”
Hu Chengcheng was stunned. She didn’t expect her to ask this.
She might have dodged the question if someone else asked.
However, this person was the child she liked very much. As her fan… ahem, she couldn’t lie, but she couldn’t tell the truth either. Hence, she said ambiguously, “Not really. It’s just that I haven’t met a suitable one yet.”
“Don’t tell me you also dislike that I am an old girl who hasn’t married at the age of 34?”
She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Of course not. I was being presumptuous.”
“It’s not a big deal. You’re not being presumptuous.”
“By the way, which university did Teacher Hu graduate from?” After investigating all the teachers and students in Boyu, how could Yan Jinyu not know which university Hu Cheng graduated from?
Hearing Yan Jinyu’s question, Hu Chengcheng’s expression froze for a moment.
However, she quickly recovered.
“I studied undergrad at Cloud City University and my master and doctorate’s degree and at the Imperial Capital University.”
“Why are you suddenly asking this?”
“I just feel that Teacher is so outstanding. You already have a few years of teaching experience in Boyu at such a young age. I’m just curious which school that you graduated from.”
“I’m a little embarrassed by your words. With Boyu’s qualities, how many teachers aren’t outstanding?”
“That’s true, but I still think Teacher is very outstanding.”
Hu Chengcheng smiled embarrassedly. “That’s it for now. I’ll go back to the office first. You should go back to the classroom too. Don’t always watch television or play games. I know that the dean has sent you many test papers. When you’re free, take a look.”
Seeing that she had disappeared at the end of the stairs, Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze.
Her eyes were dark.
***
The following month passed exceptionally peacefully.
Half a month ago, there was still no news of those three people. Yan Jinyu asked Yin Jiujin to recall the people he had sent out. They returned to their jobs and stopped searching.
If they couldn’t find them for half a month, they must have left North City.
This month, Yan Jinyu still didn’t answer any questions or read. She was focused on watching her television.
However, Yan Jinyun would occasionally ask her questions, and she had already explained it to Yan Jinyun seriously. This time, everyone in the class knew that it wasn’t that she didn’t know anything. She might even be better than the top student, Yan Jinyun.
Otherwise, Yan Jinyun wouldn’t have asked her questions.
However, due to their fear of Yan Jinyu, no one dared to ask too much. Under such a strange atmosphere, a month passed.
It was the twelfth mock test.
Yes, the twelfth time. They had taken the test again half a month ago.
At that time, Yan Jinyu was still the second last in class. Other than passing in English, she scored zero for everything else.
She was not in the limelight at all.
On this day, the twelfth mock test began.
Just as they arrived at the classroom, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang. She walked out of the classroom with her phone to answer it.
“Little Yu.” It was Min Rufeng.
“Yes. Why did you call me at this time, Feng?”
“Fengling knows that I’m investigating Feng Qin.”
Yan Jinyu tightened her grip on her phone. “What’s Meimei’s reaction?”
“She ignored me the entire night. Rather than saying that she ignored me, it would be more accurate to say that she was silent after knowing about this.”
“Have you found anything during this period of time?”
“It’s close to the mark.”
Yan Jinyu was silent for a long time before saying, “Is Meimei with you?”
“Yes, I’m on the balcony. She’s in the living room.”
“Give her the phone. I’ll talk to her.” Meimei’s fiery temper had been silent since she found out about this. It was obvious how much she cared.
“Wait a sec.”
Yan Jinyu and Luo Yikun were very calm when they were called out. Only Wang Zhi cried again.
The contrast was indeed a little stark.
