章 21: The School Prince Has Been Stirred (20)
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
His appearance was sudden, but his departure was even more abrupt. Did he come just to feed her candy?
And candy that belonged to her, too…
Stretching out her hand, she adjusted her crooked butterfly bow.
But this wasn't the time to ponder over this.
She still needed to meet with the chemistry teacher.
Taking big strides, she walked into the teachers' room.
"I'm here."
However, there wasn't a single person in sight when she walked in.
She waited by the door for quite some time, fidgeting with the hems of her skirt with a lowered head.
She conversed with Little Flower idly.
Outside, the school bell rang, signaling the start of class.
She waited a little longer, but the teacher didn't appear.
After considering, she decided, it was better to head back for lessons first.
She would come back after class.
Walking out of the staff room, she returned via the same route through the corridor.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side, "Hold up."
Su Yan froze and paused in her step.
She saw a bespectacled male teacher walk over from the side with a textbook in his hand.
The male teacher scrutinized Su Yan's figure. He spoke with an interrogating tone, "What are you doing here?"
With an innocent expression, she said, "The chemistry teacher said to find him here."
When the male teacher heard this, he narrowed his eyes cautiously.
"Your chemistry teacher is on leave today. How did he tell you to come and find him?"
Su Yan was about to speak.
The male teacher interrupted her immediately
"Su Yan, I always thought you were a good and honest child. I never expected you to be rude and so full of lies. How are you going to make amends to society when you grow up? As a girl, why haven't you learned well??"
When Su Yan heard this, she took another glance at this male teacher. She finally remembered.
Two weeks ago, this was the teacher that punished her to stand during his lesson.
He taught Language Arts, his name was… Fan Haolin.
"Teacher, I didn't…" Lie.
Before she could finish, she was chided sternly by her teacher.
"Shut up! I've seen so many students like you!"
Su Yan licked the corner of her lips. Her watery almond eyes met the teacher's gaze.
Fan Haolin pushed up the rim of his spectacles with a solemn expression.
"You're still not going to confess that you've lied?"
"I didn't."
"Still reluctant to admit your mistake?!"
Fan Haolin felt his pride being drained away.
This student was clearly caught red-handed. She still dared to lie?
Did she deem him as weak, an easy target to bully??
He stuck his hands behind his back. He recalled the day when Su Yan barged into his class in complete ignorance, ignoring his authority as a teacher.
She was punished to stand by the door for one lesson, yet, she remained unrepentant. She hadn't even apologized to him.
A girl like her would be utter scum once they stepped into society.
Fan Haolin had a lean figure. Hence, he appeared especially harsh whenever he put on a stern expression.
He extended a hand and pointed towards the distant sports field.
"Run 20 laps. Reflect on where you made mistakes."
Su Yang massaged the space between her brows. Her head was aching a little.
Dictated by her habits, she retrieved a strawberry milk taffy from her pocket.
Peeling off the wrapper, she wanted to eat it.
Fan Haolin was so incensed that his complexion turned ashen.
He was in the middle of lecturing her seriously. This student actually dared to frown and unwrap a piece of candy??
Did she even respect him as a teacher??!
This was practically slapping him in the face!
He bellowed in anger, "Su Yan!!"
As he said this, he lifted the textbook and aimed it toward Su Yan's hands in an attempt to knock off the candy in her hand.
However, the moment his hand moved up, it paused midair.
A slender hand had gripped his wrist, making it impossible for him to strike.
