Chapter 409 Shen Xuewei's First Time as a Parent

Chu De'an was so frightened that he knew he was about to be in big trouble. He kicked his legs twice and ran as fast as he could.

When Shen Xuewei saw that he still dared to run away, she was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.

"Old Peng, hurry up and bring that kid back to me."

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Peng Zhiyun reached out, opened the car door, and dashed out like a gust of wind.

The truant teenagers, still standing there and confused, scratched their heads and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Has Chu De'an offended someone?"

"Probably not... but who knows, we're not together all the time."

"Damn it, I hope he doesn't drag us down with him. Let's get out of here, forget about him, let's run."

After a few words of discussion, the group scattered, abandoning Chu De'an in a rather disloyal manner.

Chu De'an was no match for Peng Zhiyun, and was stopped by Peng Zhiyun in no time.

Not daring to come to Shen Xuewei, he was eventually grabbed by the collar by Peng Zhiyun and dragged to Shen Xuewei's side.

"Chu De'an..."

Shen Xuewei's voice was chillingly cold. Chu De'an shuddered, put on a fawning smile, and looked up, only to be met with Shen Xuewei's gloomy face.

Shen Xuewei's face was taut, and she forced a smile as she said:

"Chu De'an, you're really something. You climbed over that wall so skillfully, looks like you've done it a lot. And that pose, huh... Should I give you a good compliment?"

As she spoke, her hand had already grabbed Chu De'an's ear.

Chu De'an cried out dramatically, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Sister, it hurts! It really hurts!"

Shen Xuewei, whose heart was aching from anger, snapped, "Bear the pain even if it hurts!"

"What time is it now? What did you tell me on the phone last time? You said you were always striving for improvement, studying hard and never slacking off. Is this how you study?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Chu De'an dared not utter a sound, not even daring to breathe.

If he dares to utter a sound now, his older sister, who's still furious, will definitely give him a good beating right away.

His sister has scolded him a lot since he was a child...

Shen Xuewei grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, and rolled up her sleeves, wanting to teach him a lesson on the spot.

Sensing something was wrong, Chu De'an quickly squatted down and begged for mercy, hugging Shen Xuewei's knees with both hands.

"Sister, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will definitely change, I will never skip school again, and I will never go to internet cafes with them again."

Shen Xuewei's eyes widened in anger, "You also went to the internet cafe?"

Chu De'an thought to himself, "This is bad," and could only continue to cry and pretend to be miserable to get by.

Shen Xuewei took a deep breath and kicked her foot hard, but couldn't move it. Suppressing her anger, she said:

"Let go of me."

Chu De'an hugged her even tighter. "I won't let go unless you forgive me."

Shen Xuewei didn't waste any words with him and raised her hand high.

"Shen Xuewei?"

A voice interrupted her next action.

She hesitated and looked toward the source of the sound, and saw a familiar-looking teacher walking toward her from the school gate.

Just as Shen Xuewei was about to ask a question, Chu De'an heard the voice, reflexively stood up, and then shouted.

"Hello, Teacher Qin."

Teacher Qin was in a very bad mood; her face was cold and she stared at Chu De'an with a serious expression.

"Chu De'an, tell me, why were you outside the school during class time?"

As Chu De'an's homeroom teacher, her authority in front of him was not to be underestimated.

"Teacher, please let me explain. I left school because I had something to do..."

"If there's anything wrong, you can ask for leave. So, did you tell me the reason? Did you ask me for a leave slip? Also, this time it was because of something, but what were the reasons for the previous times?"

Chu De'an couldn't speak, his face stubborn, his head tilted back, looking unruly.

Before he could be arrogant for more than a few seconds, Shen Xuewei reached out and twisted his ear, making him howl in pain.

"Sis, please, I really know I was wrong, please don't pinch me..."

Shen Xuewei scolded, "What kind of attitude is that? Speak properly to your teacher. If you keep stretching your neck out like that, are you trying to launch yourself into the sky?"

Chu De'an shrank back, afraid that Shen Xuewei would slap him across the face.

As Shen Xuewei spoke, Teacher Qin's attention shifted from Chu De'an back to her.

When her gaze fell on her, Teacher Qin's originally serious expression softened, and her eyes looked at Shen Xuewei much more gently.

"Shen Xuewei, thank you for the gift you gave me on Teacher's Day a few days ago. I really like it."

She was faced with this good student whom she had only taught for half a year, but who had always won her heart.

The tone of Teacher Qin used when speaking to her was completely different from the tone he used when speaking to Chu De'an.

Shen Xuewei's eyes curved into crescents, and her smile was very kind, still vaguely resembling the obedient and good student she once was.

"Teacher, I'm glad you like it. It's been so many years since I graduated, and I haven't had a chance to come to school to see you. This is just a small gift; I hope it brings you joy and happiness on Teachers' Day."

Shen Xuewei is a grateful person; she remembers those who are kind to her.

She has met many wonderful teachers in her life, and she cherishes their kindness.

After graduating from university, she would send a gift to her former teachers every Teacher's Day.

Of course, Xue Xiaomei is an exception.

Given how Xue Xiaomei treated her back then, it's already a miracle she didn't send her razor blades and dog poop.

There's no way she'd get a Teacher's Day gift.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Teacher Qin glanced at Chu De'an, who was hiding behind Shen Xuewei, and asked:

"Shen Xuewei, what is your relationship with Chu De'an?"

Before Shen Xuewei could speak, Chu De'an, eager to show off, jumped in and answered first:

"Teacher, she is my sister."

Shen Xuewei turned around and glared at him, but when she saw him shrinking back and pretending to be honest, he turned back and had a smile on his face again.

"...Yes, teacher, I am his sister."

Teacher Qin had taught Chu De'an for so long, and this was the first time she had learned that Chu De'an's older sister was Shen Xuewei. She was extremely surprised.

"I never imagined that you two were siblings."

The older sister studied so hard and got such good grades; the younger brother, on the other hand, caused trouble in class all day long, and his grades kept getting worse and worse...

She sighed and shook her head, then waved to Shen Xuewei.

"Shen Xuewei, you've come at just the right time."

A sense of foreboding welled up in Shen Xuewei's heart.

What do you mean she came at the perfect time? She just happened to come on a whim, she didn't come specifically for that purpose...

Teacher Qin looked very serious.

“I was just about to call Chu De’an’s parents to the school. Since you’re here now, I don’t need to call their home.”

"Come, take Chu De'an and come to my office. I want to talk to you about his performance at school."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but he's already a senior in high school. Senior year is the most important stage of high school, and there's not much time left before the college entrance exam. If he's still like this, what will he do for the exam?"

"Never mind, I won't talk about it here. You guys come back to school with me first, and we'll talk in the office."

This was the first time in both of Shen Xuewei's lives that she had been called in by the teacher as a parent.

All it takes to go from being a model student to being called a parent is Chu De'an.

Several years later, I returned to my alma mater.

First, they caught my younger brother skipping class at the school gate, and then he was invited to the office for a talk.

Shen Xuewei stood in front of the office, surrounded by the teachers, already drenched in sweat.

No matter how many years have passed since graduation, Shen Xuewei must admit that in front of her teachers, she will always be a greenhorn.
