Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Perfect timing to appease them both with dessert (added words...)
Despite the heavy academic workload, the school still arranged two physical education classes per week for senior high school students.
Class Two's physical education class was scheduled for the afternoon.
Jiang Sui glanced at the glaring sunlight outside the window and couldn't help but complain softly, "We had to run in the morning exercises, will we have to run again in PE class later?"
“Of course we have to run,” Xia Fan said to her while tying her hair. “It’s an essential part of PE class.”
Jiang Sui, who used to skip PE class all the time: "..."
She pressed her face against the table, but the cool surface did nothing to soothe her agitated mood.
"I hate running, I hate PE class."
Jiang Sui looked unhappy and was extremely resistant to the upcoming physical education class.
Jiang Deyu leaned closer, looking completely puzzled. "Why do you hate PE class? It's my favorite class!"
Jiang Sui looked him up and down. "Yes, yes, after all, this is the only class you can keep up with."
"Pfft."
Xia Fan and Yu Xiaocheng, standing to the side, burst out laughing without giving them any face.
Jiang Deyu: "..."
Jiang Sui's mouth was like it was coated with poison. Jiang Deyu looked at her with grief and indignation, but he couldn't hit her or argue with her. Just as he was about to swallow this bitter pill, Ji Jingyu came in through the back door.
“Brother Ji.” Jiang Deyu’s eyes lit up, as if he had found a righteous official who could stand up for him. “Jiang Sui is bullying people, you have to do something about her!”
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Jiang Deyu's outburst made it seem as if Jiang Sui and Ji Jingyu had a relationship that went beyond that of classmates.
That's too ambiguous.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Jingyu.
The classroom fell into an eerie silence for a few seconds.
It seemed everyone was waiting for Ji Jingyu's reply.
Jiang Sui sat up straight, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him, her interest evident in her eyes.
A pair of dark eyes fell on Jiang Sui, and after a brief, indifferent glance, Ji Jingyu slowly said, "I can't control her."
It's like a balloon about to burst suddenly having its air spout released.
Nothing happened.
Disappointed, everyone looked away and went back to their own business.
No one thought there was anything wrong with Ji Jingyu's answer.
The two were not related, and Jiang Sui had just transferred to the school. Even if they were neighbors, it was impossible for them to develop a close relationship in such a short time.
Moreover, Ji Jingyu has never gotten involved in such trivial matters.
Only Yu Xiaocheng's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, followed by a mysterious smile that drew a puzzled look from Xia Fan beside her.
Once you look beyond the surface, you'll find that Ji Jingyu treats Jiang Sui quite differently on many occasions.
Just like now, it's not that he can't control her, it's that he can't bear to control her.
—
No matter how much you dislike it, you still have to attend the classes.
Princess Jiang is a typical underachiever with lots of stationery.
Although she disliked physical education class, she prepared all the necessary equipment.
Jiang Sui took out a bottle of sunscreen spray from her schoolbag and waved to Xia Fan and Yu Xiaocheng, "Come on, let's go outside."
The classroom was so small, and she was afraid of disturbing others.
Every exposed part of her skin was carefully and meticulously sprayed by Jiang Sui.
Yu Xiaocheng had seen this brand of sunscreen spray online. A small bottle costs over a thousand yuan, but Jiang Sui didn't feel bad about using it and even shared it with them.
It's like sharing an eraser or a pen.
Jiang Sui's family must be very well-off.
Yu Xiaocheng thought to herself.
Jiang Sui nudged her shoulder, "Class monitor, stop daydreaming, hurry up and finish your speech, class is about to start."
Seeing that Yu Xiaocheng was hesitant to use it, Jiang Sui simply took matters into her own hands and sprayed it for her, saying, "The sun is so strong, we can't miss any gaps, sunburn is a real problem."
"This smells so good!" Xia Fan gently sniffed her arm. "What's the brand name of Sui Sui's product?"
The bottle was covered in English, and Xia Fan glanced at it briefly and recognized very few of the words.
Jiang Sui casually replied, "If you like it, I have more at home. I'll give them to you when I get home."
Xia Fan waved her hand with a smile, "No need, no need, I haven't finished using the ones Gu Ci bought for me yet."
When I returned to the classroom, almost everyone had left.
Only Ji Jingyu and Jiang Deyu were still waiting for them.
"What is this?" Jiang Deyu asked curiously, smelling the lingering fragrance in the air.
He'd been wanting to ask that for a while now.
Do you want some sunscreen spray?
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Deyu nodded hurriedly. "I feel like if I get any darker, you won't be able to see me when I get home at night."
"Here you go." Jiang Sui was amused by his words and casually tossed the sunscreen spray to Jiang Deyu.
Jiang Deyu happily sprayed himself with the product, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hehe, girls' products are so interesting. Just spraying this on can prevent me from getting a tan."
Tong Xia, who was standing next to him, teased him, "But didn't you say before that only dark skin can show the true nature of a man?"
"I never said that," Jiang Deyu quickly denied. "According to you, Brother Ji is so fair-skinned, doesn't that mean he's not a real man?"
Ji Jingyu has naturally fair skin, so it seems like she can never get tanned.
Tong Xia: "Brother Ji is definitely a man, his abs are even better looking than mine!"
Ji Jingyu naturally wouldn't participate in such a pointless conversation. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Let's go downstairs, the bell will ring soon."
After saying that, he strode out of the classroom.
The remaining few people quickly followed.
Jiang Sui's gaze fell directly on the tall, imposing figure in front of her.
Yu Xiaocheng seemed to guess what she was thinking, jogged a few steps to catch up with her, and then leaned over to talk to her, "Don't worry, the basketball game is about to start, you'll get to see everything you want to watch."
Jiang Sui stopped and frowned slightly.
Yu Xiaocheng's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
That shouldn't be the case.
Jiang Sui sighed, her eyes filled with envy, "I really can't imagine what kind of good life you all live!"
Ji Jingyu always wears either a school uniform or a short-sleeved shirt. Forget about abs, Jiang Sui has never even seen his shoulder.
Yu Xiaocheng: "..."
She thought that Jiang Sui had misunderstood her meaning.
She meant that with Jiang Sui around this year, Ji Ge might be willing to be generous.
After all, even the most aloof and reserved boy will unconsciously transform into a peacock in front of the girl he likes.
—
Class 2's physical education class was held together with Class 4's.
Boys and girls are divided into two classes.
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Sui's face suddenly darkened.
This person's voice is exactly the same as the one that bothered Su Yinian downstairs back then.
"Fanfan." She gently nudged Xia Fan beside her. "Is his name Luo Qi?"
"I think that's his name?" Xia Fan was also unfamiliar with Luo Qi. She squinted at the boys' defensive line and said enviously, "The boys in our class are so lucky. Teacher Qian went to teach them."
Jiang Sui coldly sized up the man standing in front of her.
She's not as tall as her father, nor as handsome or wealthy, yet she dares to covet her mother.
That's just a fool trying to eat swan meat.
"I wonder if Teacher Luo is as easy to talk to as Teacher Qian..."
Before Xia Fan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an angry shout, "What's wrong with the girls in Class 4? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Class 2 has already lined up, and you Class 4 are still dawdling like this. You have no discipline at all!"
Jiang Sui watched coldly. The two classes were progressing at about the same pace, and the second class's lines were also somewhat disorganized, yet Luo Qi specifically targeted the fourth class to berate them...
The more I look at it, the more it seems like they're deliberately targeting Fu Yinian, which is why they're targeting the students in Class 4.
petty and narrow-minded.
They are vengeful and will seek revenge for even the smallest wrongdoing.
No wonder Chi An said he was no good.
Jiang Sui was once again relieved that his mother didn't like him.
Otherwise, if such a thing were to become her stepfather, she would be the first to disagree without Jiang Yunzhao even having to lift a finger!
Xia Fan was naturally startled.
She patted her chest subconsciously, her face pale, "Looks like we're in for a tough time."
The afternoon sun was scorching, and the occasional breeze was merely a drop in the ocean, only making it feel even hotter.
Although they could have gone to the shade of a tree, Roach insisted that the students stand in the hot sun.
"My classes do not allow absences unless there are special circumstances; you must have a leave slip to request leave."
He stood with his hands behind his back, his sinister gaze falling on the girls in the last two rows, namely Class 4. "I know some of you secretly bring your phones and smartwatches to school, and I don't care about that. However, these things are strictly prohibited in my classes. If you have any, hand them over now, and I won't pursue it. I'll return them to you after class. But if I find out in the middle of class, don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing him say that, the girls who had brought cell phones and watches obediently handed them over.
Luo Qi nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. From now on, you'll pair up and check each other before class. If anyone covers for someone else, I'll punish both of you!"
"Isn't this idiot taking it a little too seriously? None of the previous teachers were like this." Jiang Sui overheard the girl in the back row whispering to her companion, "It's like there's some secret."
During the subsequent warm-up activities, Roach maintained his usual expressionless face, without a hint of a smile.
He was particularly strict with the girls in Class 4, which made several girls secretly tear up, but they dared not speak out because of his status.
"Is he on fire?" Taking advantage of the moment Luo Qi turned around, Xia Fan whispered to Jiang Sui, "He's so nitpicky, he explodes at the slightest provocation. Luckily we put on sunscreen beforehand, otherwise we'd be totally tanned after just one class!"
Xia Fan was being very polite.
In Jiang Sui's view, Luo Qi brought his personal emotions into his work, deliberately retaliated, and took his anger out on the students, which was a complete lack of professional ethics.
How can someone like that be a teacher?
After the warm-up, Roach had them line up in two rows and run two laps around the track.
"Everyone, keep up with the team. Anyone who falls behind or slacks off will be punished by running four laps."
Upon hearing that there would be a penalty for falling behind, everyone began to exert all their strength to rush forward.
Watching the team gradually disappear into the distance, Luo Qi let out a resentful sigh, his face grim.
After school started, everyone would come over and ask him how things were going with Su Yinian.
His pride prevented him from making any definitive statements, and he still felt that he and Su Yinian had a chance.
"Haha, then I'll be waiting to drink your wedding wine."
"Thank you for your kind words."
To everyone's surprise, Su Yinian actually went directly to the grade leader and told them that they were not a good match and there was no need for them to have any contact.
"Have you heard? Luo Qi and Su Yinian's relationship has fallen through."
"Isn't it normal that it didn't work out? Teacher Su is so outstanding, Luo Qi is not good enough for her at all."
"Exactly. I always thought Old Wang was just playing matchmaker, trying to pair up single people without even considering whether their circumstances were equal."
"The funniest thing is that I just asked Roach, and he actually told me that things were going well. He has no self-awareness at all."
"Hahaha……"
Now, Roach has lost all face and dignity.
The words he had said to his other colleagues came back to haunt him like a slap in the face.
Su Yinian.
Roach pronounced the name with malice, as if he were about to bite off a piece of flesh from it.
She made herself lose face so badly, so she shouldn't expect to get away with it!
—
Who is the PE teacher who teaches girls? He seems really fierce.
Even from halfway across the playground, Jiang Deyu could hear the other person cursing, which was unbearable for a grown man like him.
"Roach."
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Deyu's eyes widened. "Is it Luo Qi, the one who punished the entire class by making them run laps for the lowest satisfaction rating?"
Ji Jingyu was clearly unaware of this matter. He looked at the other person and said, "Tell me the details."
Jiang Deyu scratched his head. "This happened a few years ago. I heard it from a senior student. I guess not many people know about it now."
"At the end of each semester, our school asks us to grade our teachers, right? It's just a formality, so of course every teacher gets a perfect score."
Jiang Deyu would give full marks to all the papers without even reading the words on them, and could complete a score sheet in three seconds.
"That year, Roach's score was very low, and the number of students dissatisfied with him was the highest in the entire grade. Although the forms were supposed to be anonymous, it was still possible to find out which class had the lowest satisfaction rate. So Roach stormed into that class and threw a tantrum, demanding that the students who gave him low scores stand up. With his attitude, do you think anyone would dare to stand up?"
Seeing that Jiang Deyu had suddenly stopped, Ji Jingyu glanced at him and said, "Continue."
"Let me catch my breath first." Jiang Deyu pouted, feeling wronged. "When no one confessed, Luo Qi took the whole class to the playground and made them run as punishment, saying that they would stop when someone confessed. If their homeroom teacher hadn't come to stop them in time, this matter would probably have blown up. But precisely because it didn't cause any major trouble, Luo Qi didn't receive any punishment afterward, and he's still a teacher."
Perhaps it was from being exposed to the sun, but Ji Jingyu's complexion looked a little off.
His gaze kept drifting towards the direction where Jiang Sui was.
Jiang Sui must have recognized Luo Qi as well.
Ji Jingyu was somewhat worried that Jiang Sui would have a direct conflict with Luo Qi.
Regardless of the circumstances, Luo Qi is now her teacher, and if he wanted to punish Jiang Sui, it would be incredibly easy for him.
Even if they can settle scores later, Jiang Sui has still been wronged.
He should have asked sooner.
Ji Jingyu's eyes were unreadable as she silently considered the possible unexpected situations that might arise and how to deal with them.
Avoiding conflict is of course the best option.
Even if there's no conflict, Jiang Sui probably won't be happy...
Jiang Deyu followed his gaze and saw a tall and slender figure. He immediately understood, "Now we just need to pray that Jiang Sui will listen to him and not provoke Luo Qi."
"Come with me to the dessert shop after class."
This semester, a new dessert shop opened on campus. The desserts there are delicious and beautifully presented, and are very popular with the students.
Jiang Sui is also a regular there.
"No, I don't like sweets." Jiang Deyu's first reaction was to refuse. "I remember you don't like them either, so what are we going there for?"
Ji Jingyu took a deep breath, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
Jiang Deyu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Buy it for Jiang Sui and Xia Fan?"
Ji Jingyu gave him a look that said, "Otherwise what?"
"That's true, those two are both so delicate. If they really get upset, we can use desserts to appease them." Jiang Deyu clapped his hands together, not forgetting to praise Ji Jingyu, "Brother Ji is brilliant!"
