Chapter 35: Graduation Party

Although he had a healing cheat, Luo Yuan ultimately lost due to his own surgical speed.

Moreover, perhaps because he was cheating, he became overly arrogant, and was simultaneously besieged by both black and white forces, quickly turning into a penniless wretch who walked out of the police station.

Seeing this, Li Mingyang showed no courtesy, snatched the other's PSP, and began his own operation.

And seeing this, the homeroom teacher who entered from the back door of the classroom also had no intention of reprimanding anyone.

Today's final evening self-study was originally meant to let everyone relax, and even mobile phones were not regulated.

Just playing games, it's hardly harmful; besides, Li Mingyang is still the class's precious gem.

Every time I saw Li Mingyang's homeroom teacher's face almost bursting into wrinkles from smiling, I originally thought I was just an ordinary homeroom teacher.

The College Entrance Exam also doesn't bring me much benefit; I can't earn a large bonus like the teachers of the elite classes do through the exam.

But when I had already resigned myself, Li Mingyang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and as homeroom teacher, he knows the data of the students in his class very well.

Not to mention that Li Mingyang is his special focus; I don't know how much he has improved again in this last month.

Even if there's no improvement at all, just maintaining his previous score, plus 20 bonus points, would surely make him Peking-Tsinghua material.

If such a top-tier scholar could truly appear in my class...

Then, after the College Entrance Exam ends, I wonder how much my bonus will be—30,000? 50,000? Or even more?

Thinking about it, the homeroom teacher not only had no intention of scolding, but even wanted to ask, 'Is this rather old-looking PSP easy to handle?'

If it's not easy to use, why not let the teacher get a new one for his beloved student?

The main point is to let Li Mingyang feel at home, as welcome as a guest, even in the classroom!

Of course, these were just fleeting, joking thoughts in the mind.

As a homeroom teacher, as a people's teacher, he still cares about face, but...

After the College Entrance Exam ends, should I, as a teacher, prepare a graduation gift for classmate Mingyang?

What should I prepare? How about just giving a phone?

A decent phone on the market now would cost three to five thousand yuan; as for a computer, better forget it.

To get a decent computer configuration, the price would run into ten thousand yuan; although my monthly salary isn't low, I'm not that extravagant.

So it's decided: after the College Entrance Exam ends, I'll give classmate Mingyang a phone as a graduation gift.

After all, classmate Mingyang looks like a dragon among men, destined for great success; now is the time to build a good relationship, so that when he graduates and starts working...

Even after he has attained some social standing, if I ever run into trouble then...

As long I maintain this deep impression of teacher-student relationship, I imagine that at that time, some small favors that would be easy for him to do, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.

Although I had thought of many things, the homeroom teacher still walked onto the podium with a normal expression.

"Students, congratulations on enduring three years of hard work; you have finally reached the time to reap your achievements."

"This is already your last class at this school, in this classroom; the College Entrance Exam is coming soon, and at this final moment we won't add any pressure."

"Tonight's evening self-study has only one theme: let everyone relax and cherish the last moments of high school."

"So the teacher decided: rather than waste the last evening self-study, let's hold a graduation party."

"Although the students haven't officially graduated yet, and the school will also organize a graduation party, I want to hold a graduation party just for our class."

"So... for tonight, the teacher has specially prepared some things."

After saying these words, the homeroom teacher called two students to come to the classroom door together.

Soon they brought in a lot—big and small bags of various snacks, peanuts, sunflower seeds, drinks, and so on.

Even the variety was plentiful; it's obvious they considered that with so many people in the class, there would surely be different tastes.

Not only does each student get to choose, they can pick their favorite, but at least they can get something they don't dislike.

Besides that, there is a set of very noticeable equipment: three speakers—two large and one small—and two microphones.

Looking at its likely high value, it's probably something the homeroom teacher rented from somewhere using his own recordings.

After the homeroom teacher's practiced operation, the speakers successfully connected to the classroom's multimedia equipment.

The projection equipment normally used for teaching has now become the class's best entertainment equipment.

After drawing the curtains and turning off the lights, the clarity is incomparable to when the lights are on during regular class.

"Alright, students, the stage is set; who would like to volunteer to come up and perform?"

With a relaxed smile hardly seen in three years of high school, he no longer kept a stern face to maintain his authority as homeroom teacher.

Looking at the group of students below, the homeroom teacher's tone was full of encouragement and eagerness to try.

"Nobody? No one wants to come up? Then... let me, the teacher, start first."

Seeing the quiet atmosphere on stage, one or two gazes toward the homeroom teacher were like students about to be questioned in class, unconsciously avoiding.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere that should have been lively fell into an eerie silence at this moment.

Seeing this, the homeroom teacher, a veteran who has taught three senior classes and who loved to play when young, was not stage‑frightened.

He decisively took on the role of class mood‑setter, and after a few operations, queued up a song for himself.

Seeing this, the students were quick to catch on, and they burst into applause and cheers.

No matter how the homeroom teacher performs afterward, at least this courage and his active effort to liven the atmosphere deserve such warm applause.
