Chapter 62 - Eavesdropping
Chapter 62 - Eavesdropping
The teacher and the student walked out of the teachers' office building, and Ning Fei finally took his hand off Lin Shengjia's shoulder.
"Pfft, you were really awesome just now!" Lin Shengjia couldn't help laughing out loud, and gave Ning Fei a thumbs up, "Director Ma and Principal Li were so angry that their faces turned green, it was brilliant, I really want to have your eloquence!"
"That's it? If I wasn't a teacher now, I could just yell at them and scold them until they were furious and couldn't say anything back." Ning Fei responded calmly, "As for you, it will take a few days to completely resolve this matter. You have to hold on and don't care what tricks people around you play on you."
"I know. The tricks of these kids are nothing to me." Lin Shengjia spread his hands, "Besides, the methods of the key high school kids this generation are not as good as those of my time. I have seen, heard, and experienced so many things before... Besides, Ji Xingzhe can't let go. He has to worry about going too far and attracting the attention of the Ji family to me, so he won't make it too exaggerated."
Ning Fei said: "I thought you didn't want to study before because they formed a clique to isolate you."
"Them? They're okay. They weren't that serious before, but now it's a little obvious, but they haven't done anything overt. They're just trying to persuade others not to talk to me. It's a trick played by elementary school students." Lin Shengjia said, "I wanted to give up because it was really hard to improve my grades. Who doesn't want to be a top student? Now that I have you, I have some hope for English. But my Chinese is still not good enough, and my science is not stable either..."
Ning Fei said: "I can help you solve all of them."
Lin Shengjia was surprised: "Is it true that you are such a versatile person?"
"As long as you obey and cooperate, it will be fine." Ning Fei replied calmly, "As for today's incident, we were reported together this time, so I blocked it. If you are slandered or accused in the future, or even if you are caught doing something bad, remember to tell me. I will do my best to help you."
Lin Shengjia raised his eyebrows: "You help me when I do bad things? I thought you would educate me to be a perfect child."
"The goal doesn't mention moral standards. As long as you get into a prestigious school, why should I care so much?" Ning Fei said, "I am your comrade-in-arms, not a moral role model."
"'Comrade' ah..." This kind of speech, which was both good and evil but only for his own benefit, made Lin Shengjia speechless for a moment. Ning Fei was indeed very strict and merciless with him, but he was also unambiguous when it came to helping him. Lin Shengjia had been working in society for more than ten years in his previous life, but he had never met such a person.
——You don’t like him, but at the same time you trust him and know you can trust him with your back. This complex emotion itself is quite... "annoying".
Just as they were about to reach the teaching building, Lin Shengjia suppressed his emotions and waved his hand, saying, "I'm going back to the classroom. I'll grab my schoolbag and leave. I'm not going to my grandma's house tonight. Will you come for dinner? We can also make up lessons in the evening."
This school has not started weekend tutoring for the second year of high school, so there is no evening self-study on Friday night.
"No, I have an appointment, but I can take you home." Ning Fei shook his phone and said, "Go get your schoolbag, I'll wait for you."
"Even though people are suspected because of your close relationship, you still don't avoid suspicion at all, really..." Lin Shengjia muttered, but still hurried back to get his schoolbag.
Ning Fei just stood there and continued to reply to the message: [Wait until the kid gets his schoolbag and then go out and send him home first. 】
Duan Yunhong: [Do you really think you are a good teacher who cares about everything? He won't even go home? 】
Ning Fei: [What's wrong with sending her off? She's feeling aggrieved because of what your nephew did. 】
Duan Yunhong: [Are you talking about Lin Shengjia or yourself? 】
Ning Fei: [Everyone says that, especially me, you should think about how to compensate me, uncle. 】
"Teacher Ning!"
A voice called out, and Ning Fei looked up and saw Ji Xingzhe coming towards him. Farther away, Ji Xingzhe’s group of childhood friends were still gathered together, seemingly chatting, but their eyes would glance over here from time to time. Ning Fei immediately had a feeling that Ji Xingzhe was well prepared, so he didn't say anything and just stood there, waiting to see what he was going to say.
As expected, when Ji Xingzhe came closer and was stared at in silence by Ning Fei for a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, were you and Lin Shengjia called away just now? Is there something wrong?"
This kind of self-incriminating way of asking questions almost made Ning Fei laugh. All I can say is that Ji Xingzhe is still young at heart. Although he has a lot of clever ideas, he still can't keep his cool.
"Nothing." Ning Fei deliberately didn't respond directly, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Uh..." Ji Xingzhe hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Teacher Ning doesn't need to give me extra lessons this weekend."
"Okay, got it." Ning Fei looked calm and didn't seem surprised at all. He didn't ask why. "Then make it up next week?"
"Next week... no need either."
"Then, the week after next..."
"They are not needed for the time being!" Ji Xingzhe couldn't help but interrupt him. He opened his mouth anxiously as if he was about to say something, but after a second, he said, "If I recover, I will notify the teacher again. If not, then they are not needed."
Ning Fei still looked at him calmly: "I understand."
Ji Xingzhe felt more and more at a loss as he was stared at. He didn't understand why Ning Fei didn't ask the reason and why he didn't plan to communicate with the parents, which resulted in many of the preset answers that Ji Xingzhe and his group of childhood friends had prepared not being used. But he changed his mind and thought that maybe Ning Fei's leak of the exam questions was a done deal, and he didn't have the face to continue tutoring.
Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhe was able to calm down a little, nodded and said: "Then I'll go, goodbye, teacher."
He seemed to feel that he was being very graceful by saving Ning Fei's face, and there was a hint of pride in his expression. However, just as he turned around, Ning Fei said from behind: "Student Ji, I only told you that I live across from Lin Shengjia."
"......!" Ji Xingzhe didn't react at first. After taking two steps, he suddenly realized the meaning of these words and stopped involuntarily.
He shouldn't have looked back, but his body acted before his brain could, and he turned back to look at Ning Fei.
Ning Fei smiled at him: "And Lin Shengjia has not made any friends in his new class. He won't tell anyone about this."
As he spoke, Ning Fei walked towards Ji Xingzhe, patted his shoulder as Ji Xingzhe's eyes gradually became flustered, and said with a smile: "Have a nice weekend, classmate Ji."
Ji Xingzhe just stared blankly as Ning Fei walked past him and towards the school gate. Halfway through the journey, they met up with Lin Shengjia who was coming down from the teaching building. The two of them didn't seem to care at all about what kind of discussion this side-by-side walking would spark, and they walked out while chatting.
Ji Xingzhe's childhood friends hurried over, and Zhu Yueting asked first, "Xiaozhe, what are you doing here? Did Teacher Ning scold you?"
"No, no..." Ji Xingzhe's mind was confused. He looked at Zhu Yueting, "Tingting, let me ask you, how do you know that Lin Shengjia and Teacher Ning live close to each other?"
"You said it!" Zhu Yueting blinked, "Didn't you say that Teacher Ning also knew Lin Shengjia's parents?"
"Me? But, that was him..." Ji Xingzhe couldn't help but say, "Teacher Ning must think that I reported him now!"
"I feel it if I want to." The real whistleblower was Zhu Yueting, who replied nonchalantly, "Is there any difference between what I said and what you said?"
"It was his fault in the first place. What does it have to do with what you said?" Qin Ran, a senior student, acted like an older brother trying to calm the situation. "If he wants to retaliate against you, that's not just morally corrupt and unethical, it's illegal."
"That's right!" Zhu Yueting continued, "He has made mistakes, and I don't know how the school is going to deal with him. I think you should ask your family to talk to the school and expel him. Anyway, you also said that your family doesn't want him to tutor you anymore, so doesn't it mean that they have already found out that he did leak the test questions and cheat? And that Lin Shengjia, he cheated but still refused to repent, it's so annoying, it's better to expel them together!"
Ji Xingzhe actually felt a little guilty, but he couldn't say anything else and could only pretend to be calm: "Forget it, let's wait for the school's punishment, and we shouldn't interfere anymore."
"You are just too kind, Xiaozhe!" Zhu Yueting said as she looked towards the school gate, then was stunned for a moment, "Wait, am I seeing things? How did Teacher Ning and Lin Shengjia get into a black car? Isn't Teacher Ning's car that broken motorcycle?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that Ning Fei and Lin Shengjia were indeed sitting in the front and back seats of a car respectively across the road from the school gate. At this angle and distance, the license plate cannot be seen, but after all, not many people can afford to drive a sedan, so Ji Xingzhe always felt that the car looked familiar.
While he was hesitating, the car drove away.
"I don't know what rich guy he has cheated again..." Zhu Yueting muttered a few words, then turned back and said, "Forget it, let's go. By the way, since Xiaozhe doesn't have to make up lessons on the weekend, let's go to your house to play? Did your family reward you with a new imported game? The one I bought hasn't arrived yet, I'm so annoyed, let's go to your house to play first?"
"...Okay, all of you come." Ji Xingzhe tried to adjust his mood and smiled, "But my brother and my mother will be home that day, so don't be too noisy, or it will disturb their rest."
"I know. I'll just play in the game room. I won't disturb Brother Yuechi and the others, right?" Zhu Yueting smiled. "Everyone, let's go? Is Qin Ran going too?"
Qin Ran responded coldly: "I won't join in the fun of you kids."
"What? You are only one year older than us, why are you pretending to be an adult? I think you don't get along with Brother Yuechi. He has always been superior to you since childhood, hahaha!" Zhu Yueting said happily, "Brother Yuechi bought all the games for Xiaozhe. That's great. Your family really dotes on you. My brother is always indifferent to me. Is he really my real brother..."
"Haha, it's okay..." Ji Xingzhe replied without much sincerity, and then smiled, with a hint of forced smile.
