Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Then hide at home, secretly
A thunderclap exploded beside Ji Yan's ears. The girl held her breath instantly. Countless thoughts surged through her mind, but her face remained calm.
Chen Ye raised her head, her eyes fixed on Ji Yan behind her glasses. She adjusted her glasses and asked bluntly, "What is your relationship with Pei Shuyu?"
She looked at this student whom she was proud of, but she could not connect her with anything like premature love.
As Ji Yan's homeroom teacher, she didn't dare to say that she had a complete understanding of this student, but she still knew her basic personality.
Since the end of last semester, she had repeatedly seen Ji Yan and Pei Shuyu having interactions beyond friendship. Today, she heard several teachers talking about these things in the art teacher's office, and the seeds of suspicion had completely taken root.
During the break of the last class, she saw Pei Shuyu coming to see Ji Yan again, so she turned on the surveillance video.
Under surveillance, Pei Shuyu skillfully and lightly placed his forehead against Ji Yan's and said something lively and cleverly. Although Ji Yan did not react much, the indulgence on his face was real.
Chen Ye tapped his fingers on the desk and said coldly, "Ji Yan?"
Ji Yan seemed to have just come to her senses: "She and I are... friends."
Yes, they were indeed friends. Even when they were together after the college entrance examination, they were still girlfriends. She just omitted a word.
But Chen Ye had been the head teacher for so many years and had caught countless students in premature love. How could she be so easily fooled? She asked, "What friends?"
Ji Yan said calmly, "Good friend."
Chen Ye closed his eyes and said, "Close the office door."
Ji Yan closed the door and turned to see Chen Ye typing on his cell phone. Her brows jumped and her five fingers drooped, clutching her pants. Her fingertips turned white from exerting too much force.
Could it be sent to Ruan Zhuangjing?
When filling out the parent contact information, she and Pei Shuyu both filled in Ruan Zhuangjing's mobile phone number.
She pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth, thinking of a solution.
At least, now is not the time to let Ruan Zhuangjing know.
Chen Ye put down his phone and moved away a little distance, so Ji Yan couldn't see the content on the other person's phone.
Chen Ye said, "Ji Yan, you are my favorite student. Tell me the truth. Have you ever dated Pei Shuyu?"
Ji Yan said: "No."
Chen Ye asked again: "Does that mean Pei Shuyu likes you?"
People are biased, and Chen also unconsciously favors the students in his class.
Ji Yan didn't say anything.
That's the default.
Chen Ye had made up her mind and was about to speak when she heard Ji Yan's voice. The girl spoke clearly, looked at her firmly, and said, "I like her."
Chen was also choked: "What did you say?"
Ji Yan: "Homeroom teacher, it's me who likes her."
She told Chen Ye bluntly and took the responsibility on herself.
The girl's tall figure stood there straight, and her gentle voice spoke terrifying words.
Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed out of anger: "The day after tomorrow is the Hundred Days Oath-taking Ceremony, and the countdown to the college entrance examination is almost double digits. At this time, you are focusing your mind on other things?"
She checked Ji Yan's grades over the past year, which showed no significant fluctuations and were very stable. She then checked Pei Shuyu's grades, which showed a steady increase.
She couldn't find fault with them in this regard, and her anger subsided a little: "I don't care what happens to you in the future, but in high school, no actions that cross the line are allowed."
She held onto the armrest of her office chair. "You said you and Pei Shuyu haven't talked. Okay, I believe you. I'll ask Teacher Li to call Pei Shuyu over and see how she defines your relationship."
She waved her hand: "Go back to study."
Ji Yan didn't move.
She was afraid that Pei Shuyu would take the responsibility back after being scolded by Chen Ye.
She didn't leave, and Chen didn't say anything.
Pei Shuyu pushed open the door of the teaching office two minutes later.
It was the second period of evening self-study. Li Ran happened to be in their class's self-study class tonight. Not long after she opened the math test paper, Li Ran's cell phone rang, and then the class teacher asked her to come to the teaching office.
As for the reason, she asked her class teacher, but her class teacher couldn't explain it either. She only guessed that it might be related to the speech at the Hundred Days Oath-Taking Ceremony.
When Pei Shuyu saw Ji Yan, she subconsciously smiled and wanted to say hello, but Ji Yan avoided her sight and waved her hand lightly, protecting her elbow.
Combining Ji Yan's expression, Pei Shuyu realized that something was wrong. She suppressed her emotions and asked, "Director Chen, you're looking for me?"
Chen didn't waste any time and played the previous surveillance footage for Pei Shuyu to watch.
After seeing the contents on the screen clearly, Pei Shuyu's pupils shrank sharply and he frowned in disbelief.
My first reaction was, when was the surveillance camera installed there?
Chen also noticed her reaction and asked the same question to Ji Yan: "What is your relationship with Ji Yan now?"
Pei Shuyu and Ji Yan looked at each other, hoping to get some information from them, but how could Chen Ye give them the opportunity to communicate.
She said, "Let me ask you, what are you looking at Ji Yan for?"
Pei Shuyu bit her tongue and told herself to stay calm. Chen Ye had asked her to come here, most likely because he hadn't gotten accurate information from Ji Yan, and she had allowed Ji Yan to stay because she was probably going to question them together later.
At the critical moment, Pei Shuyu's brain was still very useful. She said: "Friendship."
Chen Ye sneered: "Friends? You two really have a tacit understanding. You both gave the same answer."
She pointed at Ji Yan and continued, "Ji Yan said she likes you."
Pei Shuyu looked at Ji Yan again, but Chen Ye blocked her view. "Is there anything written on Ji Yan's face?"
Pei Shuyu's palms were sweating. She always felt that Chen Ye was trying to induce her. If her testimony was inconsistent with Ji Yan's, she would undoubtedly fall into a deeper passive position.
The whole school will be informed, and they will be asked to go home and reflect on their actions for a week and their parents will be informed.
Pei Shuyu was not afraid of the last two points. The only thing he didn't want was to be informed by the whole school.
She didn't want others to look at Ji Yan with unusual sunshine.
Pei Shuyu clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, leaving four crescent shapes of varying depths.
Chen Ye stared at her with sharp eyes, observing her micro-expressions.
Maybe it was because she had done too many sketches, but Pei Shuyu was extremely alert in this regard. Especially when she noticed Chen Ye's gaze, her nerves were stretched to a point of tension.
She couldn't let Director Chen see the change in her expression.
She quickly adjusted her facial expression and said calmly, "Ji Yan and I are good friends. It's normal for her to like me. I like her too."
Ji Yan's heart finally settled down.
Chen Ye said: "Okay, that's what you mean, you and Ji Yan didn't talk, right?"
Pei Shuyu said, "We're not really talking about it right now." She paused and changed the subject. "She and I are both currently focusing on our studies. Everything else will be put aside after the college entrance exam."
“We know what we can do and what we can’t do.”
Chen Ye was silent for a few seconds. She sat back in her office chair, crossed her arms, rested her chin on the back of her hands, and looked back and forth between the two of them. After a moment, she said, "Everything will be put on hold after the college entrance examination. In other words, we'll talk after the college entrance examination, right?"
Pei Shuyu couldn't tell a lie, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Ji Yan wanted to touch her head, but because Chen was in front of her, she quickly tapped her trouser legs with her fingers several times to suppress the urge in her heart.
There was no need to hide it anymore. Chen Ye had already determined that the relationship between them was only a matter of time.
She didn't want to deny her future with Pei Shuyu, so Ji Yan nodded generously. Before she could speak, the person next to her spoke first: "Yes, Director Chen."
Pei Shuyu looked directly at the person not far away and said with certainty: "Only after the college entrance examination."
Chen nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'm warning you. If I catch you again, I'll tell the whole school." She added, "It won't work if you use this excuse against me then."
"How is your speech preparation going?" Chen Ye suddenly asked.
Is this matter over? Pei Shuyu licked his lips, glanced at the people around him, and took the initiative to say, "I'm ready."
Chen also said: "Well, go back."
Pei Shuyu: "Goodbye, Director."
Ji Yan: "Goodbye, teacher."
"Wait a minute," Chen Ye stopped the two of them, unnaturally, "This road is not easy to walk. Only by working hard to improve yourself can you hold the right to choose in your own hands. Study hard, I look forward to your good results after the college entrance examination."
"Don't let me or the other teachers find out again. Even if we're not dating now, as you said, just be honest with each other when we're together."
Pei Shuyu: "Okay, Director Chen."
After leaving the grade office, Pei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves shattered, and his legs felt a little weak.
Ji Yan supported her: "Are you scared?"
Pei Shuyu shook her head: "I'm not afraid."
Ji Yan tapped her forehead lightly, leaving a light layer of moisture on her fingertips. She smiled and said, "I'm sweating."
He still said he was not afraid.
Pei Shuyu didn't want to talk here. She pulled Ji Yan towards the stairs as usual. Suddenly she thought of the surveillance camera there, and she stopped. She couldn't find any safe place.
She grabbed a handful of her hair in distress and decided not to hide it anymore. She let go of Ji Yan and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm not afraid of the director discovering our relationship, but I'm afraid it will be reported to the whole school and affect you."
Ji Yan smiled: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these."
She knew Pei Shuyu's concerns, but did other people's opinions matter? In the future, if she and Pei Shuyu were together, would she have to hide and have an underground relationship because of other people's opinions?
How is that possible? By then, she will hold Pei Shuyu's hand and tell everyone openly about her relationship with Pei Shuyu.
Pei Shuyu pouted: "Okay, I get it." She tilted her head, "Looks like we can't be so intimate at school anymore."
It’s good that Director Chen is willing to let them go this time. They can’t step into the minefield.
Ji Yan: “Yeah.”
Pei Shuyu smiled slyly: "But, you can do it outside of school."
Ji Yan: "What if I run into Director Chen outside of school?"
Pei Shuyu covered the lips of the person in front of her: "That's too scary."
Ji Yan agreed: "It is indeed terrifying."
Pei Shuyu smiled: "Then hide at home, secretly." She stretched lazily, "Just hold on for another three months, and it will be over."
