Chapter 129 He's Back

Chen Siqi immediately glared at him.

What are you laughing at?

Lu Yanhe said, "Next time you're going to cause trouble for someone, don't rush to lash out. Make sure they're there first, then your outburst will have an audience."

Chen Siqi: "Did I cause her trouble? She brought this on herself. Just because her dad is a lawyer, she bullies someone as honest and kind as Xu Zijun. She even cornered her in the toilet and bullied her. It's disgusting. I've told you before, Xu Zijun is my friend. In this school, anyone who dares to bully her is going against me!"

“You’re so assertive, but you should also consider Xu Zijun’s feelings. She’s already resolved this matter, and now you’re bringing it up again to cause trouble for Hong Zhixing. Things that were finally resolved are now causing trouble again. You can handle it, but can Xu Zijun handle it?” Lu Yanhe reassured Chen Siqi. “If I really need your help to get back at her, I’ll ask you for help right away.”

"You'll ask me for help again?"

“Of course.” Lu Yanhe nodded decisively. “Besides you, who else can keep Hong Zhixing in check? You didn’t see her face yesterday, where she could turn black into white. I was furious. I’ve never seen such a shameless person.”

Chen Siqi was surprised to hear Lu Yanhe say that. Lu Yanhe wasn't usually the type to speak ill of people; generally, she was the one who spoke more harshly. So, when Lu Yanhe uttered the words "shameless," Chen Siqi was more curious about what Hong Zhixing had done to make Lu Yanhe dislike her so much.

After much persuasion, Lu Yanhe managed to drag Chen Siqi away from the entrance of Class 4.

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Everyone's face showed a "tsk tsk" expression.

This rumored couple, although they have been denying it to each other, have to be said that they seem to be up to something.

Few people truly believe that their relationship is purely platonic.

No.

-

When Lin Yu and Chen Qin, the "top student couple" from Class 3, arrived at the classroom, they were told by those around them about the dramatic tug-of-war that had just taken place at the classroom door.

“Squad leader, let me tell you, there’s definitely something going on between Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi. The two of them are all over each other without any restraint. If you said there wasn’t something going on, I would have come to see you beforehand,” Jiang Haitian said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu clicked her tongue and said, "What's it to you? Whether other people have issues or not is none of our business. Have you memorized your vocabulary? When Old Chen comes to check later, I suggest he check you first."

Jiang Haitian stared in shock, saying, "Squad leader, have some decency!"

Lin Yu smiled.

September is almost over.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has almost passed.

With nine months to go before the college entrance examination, Lin Yu herself felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

Calmness is all superficial.

Lin Yu also gets nervous and worries about failing the exam.

At this moment, Lu Yanhe returned.

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

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

After a while, Old Chen also came in.

"Have you memorized all the words we're going to check today?" Old Chen asked as soon as he came in.

A group of people answered listlessly.

"I memorized it."

"I was carrying my memo until 3 a.m., Lao Chen, did you see my dark circles? Even pandas don't have darker circles than me."

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

...

Old Chen smiled broadly, like a radiant spring day.

"Seeing how hard you're trying to learn, I'm relieved. It means you're really putting your heart into it."

At this moment, Li Pengfei rushed in.

"Hey, Li Pengfei, you're just in time again." Old Chen immediately called out, "Perfect, you're the one. You pick five words and have everyone memorize them."

Li Pengfei was panting heavily from running. He had been completely bewildered when Lao Chen called on him, but when he heard that he was to pick five words for everyone to quiz on, he immediately perked up.

He immediately put down his schoolbag and strode confidently onto the podium.

"Damn, Old Chen, that's not fair! Does that mean Li Pengfei doesn't have to remain silent?" someone immediately asked.

Old Chen said with a smile, "Who says it's unfair? Oh, Li Cui, it's you. After class today, have lunch and come to my office. I'll do a spot check myself."

Li Cui's eyes widened, and she wanted to protest, but she didn't dare to speak again.

I'm so angry.

Li Pengfei's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

His face was filled with the excitement of a serf finally becoming the master.

-

"The National Day holiday is just around the corner, and we'll have a seven-day break. I'm really worried that you'll forget to memorize vocabulary during these seven days, and all the hard work you've put in will be wasted."

After the word quiz, Lao Chen said, "So, I've decided that every night at 7:30, we'll have an online meeting room and spend ten minutes memorizing words."

"Haha, memorizing words online? How do you know if we actually memorized them correctly?" another joker immediately chimed in.

Old Chen said with a smile, "Of course, we need to ask your parents to supervise and check."

All the smiles vanished.

"Ah—" someone wailed.

"Stop wailing. You guys are so lucky to have met me. I guarantee you'll have a solid foundation in these words before the college entrance exam. Remember to buy me a Coke after the exam," Old Chen said with a smile.

Lu Yanhe quite liked the atmosphere in his class.

I also really like Teacher Chen.

-

At noon, Lu Yanhe was reading a book when suddenly a few exclamations came from beside him.

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

He hadn't shown up for several days after leaving the school, and many people thought he would never come back. But today he returned without any warning.

As soon as he appeared, the class gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at him differently, yet all of them carried a scrutinizing gaze.

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

After Chu Saiying arrived in the classroom, she immediately sat down, took out her book, and began reading.

This scene stunned everyone.

Although Chu Saiying had excellent grades, he always considered himself smart and never showed others how hard he studied. He insisted that "studying with the right methods" was the true way to learn, rather than "studying by rote".

Chu Saiying would never have done this kind of reading outside of class time before.

Even Luo Zicheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but said nothing.

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

Luo Zicheng glared at his deskmate unhappily and said, "Whose idol is he? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Chu Saiying's previous swagger and confidence seemed to have vanished completely within a few days.
