Chapter 191. 190. What?! The homeroom teacher actually toasted us personally!
Jiang Xia was deeply moved by what Teacher Wang said.
It's not that we'll all go our separate ways and rarely see each other again.
Instead, he hadn't returned to his high school to see Old Wang in his previous life, but after being reborn, he became his student again, which perfectly illustrates the saying, "Life is full of unexpected encounters."
The students raised their glasses with Teacher Wang, and the sadness they had felt earlier was quickly replaced by joy as they wished for a happy graduation.
The round table was gradually piled high with dishes, and the students were eating, drinking, or going in twos and threes to toast their teacher. However, they couldn't help but be pointed out by him for something, such as dating, playing on their phones in class, staying up all night online, secretly smoking, and other such trivial matters.
As the homeroom teacher, he saw everything, but he usually turned a blind eye and rarely called out any specific person's name in class meetings unless they made a serious mistake.
When Teacher Wang exposed their embarrassing moment, some people cheered, some blushed, but everyone was all smiles. The teacher chose to reveal this at this time because he didn't intend to settle scores later.
Ultimately, they have already graduated from high school, and the homeroom teacher's mission has come to an end. Although the teacher is still a teacher, he is no longer a teacher.
Jiang Xia and Wang Ming were showing off their dishes in a corner, watching the others play drinking games and make a fuss, without getting involved at all.
His past experiences have proven that no matter how nicely he speaks at the dinner table now, he will still not keep in touch with them in the future. Over time, he will even forget what those people look like.
"They're all toasting the teacher, aren't you two going?" Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Xia.
"Let's eat first, we can talk about toasting later." Jiang Xia continued to eat, burying his head in his food. There was no point in drinking and showing off who could drink more right now; nothing beats the enjoyment of eating.
After a while, once the students have gotten Mr. Wang quite drunk, he can leisurely go and offer a toast to properly thank Mr. Wang for his guidance. Then, today's task will be considered successfully completed.
Half an hour passed quietly, and Jiang Xia hadn't even eaten rice, only vegetables. He devoured all the dishes in a flash.
He let out a burp, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and was about to go to toast Teacher Wang when he saw him walking over with a glass in hand and a flushed face.
"Hey you three, I've seen you eating from the beginning, and you're still eating now. Is the food here really that delicious?" Teacher Wang said with a smile. He looked a little tipsy, but he was still quite clear-headed.
The group immediately put down their chopsticks and stood up. Teacher Wang raised his hand and pressed down on them, saying with a smile, "Sit down, sit down. What are you standing for? Everyone sit down, I'll sit down too."
He casually sat down in a seat belonging to someone he didn't recognize, picked up the other end of his chopsticks, tasted a piece of white radish that wasn't stewed with beef, and commented, "The taste is indeed quite good."
From the beginning until now, he has only eaten a few bites of food, and then he just keeps drinking. One batch of students left and another batch came. Even the girls are very reluctant to part with him and thank him for his guidance.
"Teacher Wang, as everyone knows, getting something for free is the best," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Teacher Wang was taken aback for a moment, and Chen Yao explained, "Teacher Wang, the money for tonight's meal will be paid from the class fund."
"You little rascal... if that's the case, getting something for free is really tempting."
He looked at the three people in front of him with great satisfaction. Two students from one class had been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and one to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This was something he would never have dared to imagine before.
The other students' eyes followed the homeroom teacher as he took his seat, focusing on Jiang Xia, Wang Ming, and Chen Yao. They all wondered in their hearts how good their grades must be to have the homeroom teacher offer them a toast.
Wang Ming, needless to say, received his admission letter from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Many people at the hotel entrance already knew that. But Jiang Xia and Chen Yao have always been the top students in their class. Thinking about it, they might have received offers from those two top universities.
"Wang Ming, you did very well on the exam this time. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is one of the top art academies in China. Graduates from there are elites in all walks of life. You really made your teacher proud this time, hahaha."
Teacher Wang originally wanted to pat him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, but considering that Chen Yao was next to him, she thought better of it and just picked up her wine and had a drink with him instead.
"It's all thanks to Teacher Wang and the other teachers for their excellent teaching." Wang Ming raised his glass somewhat shyly and clinked it with his. "My performance in the college entrance examination was completely beyond what I expected."
"What's with all this talk of being extraordinary? If you don't have any real ability, how can you claim to be extraordinary?"
"Uh...you're right, thank you very much for your guidance over the past few years, Professor Wang."
"You little brat."
Teacher Wang shook her head gently, but her eyes were smiling: "I know that you and Jiang Xia used to go to internet cafes often when you had nothing to do. Fortunately, you corrected your mindset quickly and your grades steadily improved in the following months. When you get to university, you must remember this spirit and never slack off."
"Yes, Teacher Wang."
The two of them tilted their heads back and downed the beer in their glasses in one gulp.
Teacher Wang's face immediately turned even redder. He frowned for a long time before calming down, then took out a beer and filled his glass. He looked at one of his most proud female students.
"Chen Yao, in my impression, you've always been the kind of girl who's rather introverted and doesn't like to talk much. But you're honest, hardworking, and always have a fierce determination that never gives up. Someone like you will succeed no matter what you do. However, it's still amazing that you were able to get into Peking University! Congratulations, teacher."
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked shocked. No matter where you are, the name BJ University is very impactful. No wonder Teacher Wang personally brought over a wine glass. You know, many teachers may never teach a student like this in their entire lives.
Teacher Wang picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Chen Yao's. Chen Yao blushed, which, combined with the faint freckles on her face, gave her a unique beauty.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang. You've had enough to drink today, please drink less," she said.
"It's nothing, this little bit of wine is nothing. Drink up, teacher. Study hard in college, and come back to visit me when you have time," Teacher Wang said with a smile.
"good."
After finishing his second glass of wine, when it was Jiang Xia's turn, he pursed his lips and said, "Teacher Wang, why don't you eat some food first? It's still early, no rush."
Seeing the understanding smile on Jiang Xia's face, Teacher Wang let out a burp and took a deep breath to push down the alcohol churning in his stomach.
"Okay, I'm going to the restroom first. I'll have a good chat with you when I get back."
