Chapter 1528: Making the Right Choice

"Ah, why? My current seat is quite good, I don't need to change." He was unwilling.

"No reason, this is the teacher taking special care of you. If someone else wanted to sit with Tian Yuanyuan, I wouldn't even agree." Teacher Tian smiled at Sheng Zihan, wearing an expression that said, "I am doing this entirely for your own good, don't be ungrateful."

Sheng Zihan truly knew what was good for him, which is why he didn't want to sit with Tian Yuanyuan.

Tian Yuanyuan had a very pleasant name, but as for her appearance, it was hard to describe!

The girl was under 1.6 meters tall and weighed over 160 jin; sitting with her, the already cramped space would be squeezed even further.

But that wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that Tian Yuanyuan was a relative of Teacher Tian and loved to tattle.

If he sat with her, the slightest move Sheng Zihan made would be reported to Teacher Tian.

Of course, Tian Yuanyuan had excellent grades and studied very hard, but Sheng Zihan was a superficial person who cared about looks; he couldn't stand Tian Yuanyuan's appearance.

However, Tian Yuanyuan seemed to like him... no, she liked being a busybody.

If she saw him talking to other girls, she would report him to the teacher, framing him for puppy love!

Sheng Zihan had already suffered for it a few times; usually, he couldn't dodge her fast enough, but now he had to sit next to her every day—wasn't this going to be the death of him?

"Teacher, I thank you, but please let someone else sit with her, I'll display some school spirit!"

"Both of our grades are good. Didn't you say that students with good grades should help those with poor grades to achieve mutual progress? If we both have good grades and sit together, we're hogging resources; I can't hog someone else's resources."

Sheng Zihan spouted these high-sounding words very fluently, but it was useless.

"Go back, this matter is settled, it won't be changed." Teacher Tian waved his hand, ending the conversation.

Ginger is still spicier when it's old.

Even though Sheng Zihan was silver-tongued, it was no use; Teacher Tian remained unmoved by any of his tactics, and no matter how he tried to spin it, it was futile.

From then on, Sheng Zihan lived under the watchful eyes of Tian Yuanyuan and Teacher Tian, suffering miserably; the rules and restrictions were countless, and his every move was controlled.

He had been used to being free and easy since he was a child; being suddenly put in a straitjacket was unbearable.

So he complained to Zirui: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I'd be in Teacher Luo's class right now, wouldn't that be great? Look at that class, every day is full of laughter and joy, they learn while being happy..."

Zirui bluntly exposed him: "Then you'd be off to the heavens."

"How could that be? I'm so well-behaved..." Sheng Zihan didn't have enough self-awareness.

"No, I still have to go to Teacher Luo's class. If I stay here for three years, I'll become an idiot."

Zirui disagreed: "How could you become an idiot? Teacher Tian has taught the Experimental Class for over twenty years; are all the students he's taught over these years idiots?"

"I don't know about others, and I can't control that, but I know that if I stay in his class for three years, I'll be an idiot."

Sheng Zihan was a man of his word and went to find Teacher Luo that very day, but before he could even speak, he discovered Tian Yuanyuan following him!

"Why are you following me?"

Sheng Zihan was displeased and shooed her away: "You step aside, I have something to say to Teacher Luo."

Tian Yuanyuan didn't leave; instead, she moved closer to him and said righteously: "I also have something to say to Teacher Luo."

"Fine, then you speak first. You speak, and then I'll speak."

"Everything has to have an order of arrival. You came first, so you speak first."

"You speak first, ladies first..." Sheng Zihan actually had a spirit of concession.

But Tian Yuanyuan also conceded: "You came first, you speak first..."

Tian Yuanyuan was Teacher Tian's confidante; no matter how foolish Sheng Zihan was, he couldn't possibly talk about transferring classes in front of her.

The two of them went back and forth with their concessions until the class bell rang.

"You two take your time discussing it; find me when you've made up your minds. I'm going to teach," Teacher Luo said with a smile, and went off to class.

Sheng Zirui and Sheng Zihan were the proudest existences in Teacher Tian's Experimental Class; even if Sheng Zihan proposed transferring classes now, he couldn't agree.

It would be detrimental to the stability and unity among the teachers.

Teacher Luo went to class, and Sheng Zihan blamed Tian Yuanyuan: "It's all your fault, now neither of us got to say anything."

Tian Yuanyuan was triumphant: "I just didn't want you to succeed, so what?"

"Why are you such a busybody?"

"Right, not only am I a busybody, I also tattle."

This was a blatant threat, but it was effective; Sheng Zihan was afraid.

"No, no, don't tattle, you absolutely must not tell our teacher."

Tian Yuanyuan agreed readily, but took advantage of the situation: "Fine, I can not tell the teacher, but you have to agree to a few conditions for me. Grade the English homework." Tian Yuanyuan was the English class representative.

Both of them were class representatives.

Agreeing to this condition meant increasing his workload; Sheng Zihan was unwilling!

But he couldn't refuse now; after all, his weakness was in her hands.

And so, he graded countless assignments until midnight, with no time to play at all!

Under the supervision of Teacher Tian and Tian Yuanyuan, Sheng Zihan was strictly guarded and kept under tight control; even though he was slippery, it was very difficult for him to find a chance to go out and play or flirt with girls.

The results of the first monthly exam came out, and the result was a bit unexpected.

Sheng Zihan's grades were surprisingly good; he took first place in the entire school!

Weekend.

After school, Sheng Zihan was like a wild horse that had broken its reins; he was the first to rush out of school, running home frantically.

Zirui shouted for him to stop and wait behind him, but he heard it and couldn't stop; he was just too excited.

As soon as Sheng Zihan entered the courtyard gate, he started shouting: "Mom, Mom!"

Shi Youxuan came out of the house, displeased: "What are you shouting for? You're in high school now and still acting so wild. Your dad isn't home; if he were home, you'd be getting a lecture again..."

Sheng Zihan didn't hear a word of what his mother said; he was too excited.

He jumped up and down in front of his mother, shouting happily: "I got first place in this exam, first place in the whole school, hahahahaha..."

"Are you bragging? When have you ever gotten first place?"

Shi Youxuan did not believe it, and this could not be blamed on her.

Zihan had never once placed first from childhood to the present; although his grades had never been poor, he had also never taken the top spot.

"Why do you still not believe me?"

Shi Youxuan laughed: "Isn't it normal not to believe you? There's never a word of truth out of your mouth, I don't believe a ghost of what you say!"

"The test paper, take a look at the test paper..."

He opened his schoolbag, carefully took out the test paper, and held it with both hands to present it before his mother: "See for yourself, the evidence is as solid as a mountain."

"I don't understand it."

Shi Youxuan only glanced at it, and with those three words, she lightly and casually caused Zihan to collapse.

Just then, Zirui returned, and he immediately acted as if he had seen a life-saving straw, pulling Zirui in front of his mother: "You say it, did I or did I not place first? Zirui, prove it for me."

Zirui smiled and confirmed: "That's right, Zihan really did place first this time."

"See, I wasn't lying, was I?" Zihan said, looking immensely pleased with himself.

Shi Youxuan felt even more pleased inside.

She had known this news long before the children got out of school!
