Chapter 128

Chen Siqi immediately glared at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yanhe said, "Next time before you go looking for trouble, don't be in such a rush to vent. You have to confirm they're there first, so your temper has an audience."

Chen Siqi: "Is this me looking for trouble? She brought this on herself. Relying on her dad being a lawyer to bully an honest person like Xu Zijun, even cornering her in the bathroom to bully her—it's truly disgusting to the core. I told you, Xu Zijun is my friend. In this school, whoever dares to bully her is going against me!"

"You're fierce, but you should also consider Xu Zijun's feelings. Her matter is already resolved. If you bring it up again now and go looking for trouble with Hong Zhixing, causing a new storm after it was finally settled—you might be able to handle it, but can Xu Zijun?" Lu Yanhe pacified Chen Siqi. "If I really needed your help to settle the score, I would have come to you for help immediately."

"You'd actually come to me for help?"

"Of course," Lu Yanhe nodded decisively. "Besides you, who else can keep Hong Zhixing in check? You didn't see her face yesterday, turning black into white; I was almost angered to death. I've never seen such a shameless person."

Chen Siqi was actually surprised to hear Lu Yanhe say this. Lu Yanhe wasn't the type to speak ill of people; generally speaking, she was the one who was more sharp-tongued. So, when the words "shameless" came out of Lu Yanhe's mouth, Chen Siqi was even more curious: what had this Hong Zhixing done to make Lu Yanhe dislike her so much?

After much persuasion, Lu Yanhe dragged Chen Siqi away from the door of Class 4.

This scene was seen by many people.

Everyone wore a "tsk-tsk" expression on their faces.

"Seeing you all looking so half-dead from studying, I'm relieved; it shows you're truly putting in the effort."

At this moment, Li Pengfei rushed in hurriedly.

"Ah—" someone wailed.

Ziyan smiled.

"Have you all memorized the words for today's spot check?" Teacher Chen asked as soon as he entered.

This kind of reading during non-class time was something Chu Saiying would absolutely never have done before.

Li Pengfei was panting from running; he was initially confused when Teacher Chen called his name, but upon hearing he was to pick five words for everyone to spot-check and dictate, he immediately perked up.

He immediately put down his schoolbag and marched onto the podium, full of vigor.

Calmness was all on the surface.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month was almost over.

Not many people truly believed that their relationship was pure.

"Damn, Teacher Chen, this isn't fair. Does that mean Li Pengfei doesn't have to dictate?" someone asked immediately.

Ever since he left school, he hadn't appeared for several days, and many people thought he would never come back. As it turned out, he returned today without any warning.

Teacher Chen smiled radiantly.

Ziyan would also get nervous and worry about failing her exams.

After the spot check of the words, Teacher Chen said, "So, I've decided that every night at 7:30, we'll open an online meeting room and spend ten minutes dictating words."

"I'm really going to be killed by English. Why is there such a torturous subject as English in this world?"

The uniform smiles vanished one by one.

After Chu Saiying arrived in the classroom, he sat down immediately, took out his book, and lowered his head to read.

With nine months left until the college entrance exam, Ziyan herself felt an indescribable panic.

This scene stunned everyone.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe returned.

This rumored couple, although they kept denying it, had to be said, they looked very suspicious.

Infuriating.

Jiang Haitian immediately whistled and asked, "Back from your date?"

A group of people replied listlessly.

After a while, Teacher Chen also entered.

"Class monitor, let me tell you, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi definitely have something going on. The way they are pulling and tugging at each other without avoiding suspicion—if you say there's nothing, I'll go see a doctor in advance," Jiang Haitian said with certainty.

Lu Yanhe shook his head speechlessly, gave Jiang Haitian the middle finger, and sat down in his seat.

Li Cui widened his eyes, wanting to complain, but didn't dare to speak again.

They also liked Teacher Chen as a teacher.

At noon, Lu Yanhe was looking down at his book when several exclamations suddenly came from beside him.

Teacher Chen said with a smile, "Who said it's unfair? Oh, Li Cui, it's you. After class this noon, after you've had lunch, come to my office, and I'll personally spot-check you."

Teacher Chen said with a smile, "Of course, I have to ask your parents to supervise and check."

"Yo, Li Pengfei, you're arriving just in time again," Teacher Chen immediately called his name. "Perfect, that's you. You pick five words for everyone to dictate."

None.

After Ziyan and Chen Qin, the "straight-A couple" of Class 3, arrived in the classroom, they were told by those around them about the tug-of-war drama that had just happened at the classroom door.

He looked up and discovered that it was Chu Saiying who had returned.

"Stop howling. You're so lucky to have met me. I guarantee that before the college entrance exam, your foundation in these words will definitely be enough. Remember to treat me to a bottle of Coke after the exam," Teacher Chen said happily.

"Memorized."

As soon as he appeared, the class gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at him with different eyes, yet all carried the same sense of scrutiny.

"Hahaha, online word dictation? Then how will you know if we really memorized them?" another joker immediately said on the spot.

Jiang Haitian widened his eyes in shock and said, "Class monitor, be a human being!"

Even Luo Zicheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say anything in the end.

"I memorized until three in the morning. Teacher Chen, do you see my dark circles? Even pandas aren't as deep as mine."

Although Chu Saiying had very good grades, he always prided himself on being smart and never showed others that he was working hard, labeling the idea that "having a method to read" was the truth, compared to so-called "rote learning."

With an excitement like a serf who had turned over to become the master.

"National Day is coming soon, and there will be a seven-day holiday at once. I'm just afraid that you'll forget to memorize words during these seven days, and the foundation you worked so hard to build will be wasted."

Li Pengfei smiled until his eyes squinted.

Upon hearing this, Ziyan tsked at him and said, "What does it have to do with you? Whether they have something going on has nothing to do with us. Have you memorized your words? When Teacher Chen comes over to spot-check later, I suggest he spot-checks you first."

Lu Yanhe quite liked this atmosphere in the class.

Over the past period, almost everyone had conducted an internal trial of Chu Saiying.

September was about to end soon.

Luo Zicheng's deskmate sneered and said, "Luo Zicheng, your idol has changed quite a bit."

Luo Zicheng glared at his deskmate unhappily and said, "Whose idol? You're talking nonsense."

The high-spirited flamboyance and confidence that Chu Saiying once had seemed to have vanished completely within a few days.
