"The image I had created for myself as a top student and Ivy League prodigy has all been shattered to pieces."
At noon, in the cafeteria, Li Pengfei and Lu Yanhe chose a time when everyone had basically finished eating. At least they could eat lunch in peace without being watched by a group of people.
Li Pengfei's evaluation of Chu Saiying was very insightful.
"Now that everyone knows what he did, his feigned pride is certainly failing him." Li Pengfei chuckled and said, "So, don't create a persona for yourself. Once you create one, it's doomed to fall one day."
"What a wise saying." Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
"Hey, the short-haired girl from the next class." Li Pengfei suddenly winked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Pengfei in surprise.
That was Xu Linlin from Class 4. She had been following Hong Zhixing before and was even more arrogant than Hong Zhixing.
"She actually came to eat alone? Didn't they always go out in a group before? How could she be left alone?" Lu Yanhe was curious.
Xu Linlin looked as if she had suffered a blow, with her eyebrows and eyes drooping, and she no longer had the fierceness she had before.
Li Pengfei: "Who knows, maybe Hong Zhixing is going to try to clear her name and put the blame on Xu Linlin for everything she did to Xu Zijun."
Li Pengfei just said it, but it turned out to be a prophecy.
At noon, Xu Linlin suddenly ran to the third shift and, in front of everyone, with red eyes, said, "Li Pengfei, yesterday I was impatient and misunderstood and slandered you. I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Comrade Li Pengfei, who was laughing and joking with Jiang Haitian, had never seen such a scene before and was unable to react for a long time.
Jiang Haitian slapped Li Pengfei on the back of the head and said, "Why are you daydreaming? People are apologizing to you."
Li Pengfei came back to his senses, said with a sigh, "I see. Go back to your class. It's lunch break now. Don't disturb my classmates."
Jiang Haitian looked at Li Pengfei in shock. He never expected that Li Pengfei would be so arrogant at this time.
This speech, this pattern, this grandson!
Xu Linlin looked at Li Pengfei in surprise.
Li Pengfei waved his hand: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? You came to apologize, and I heard it. That's enough, get out."
Someone in the class immediately laughed.
He seemed to be amused by the scene.
But to Xu Linlin, this laughter sounded like ridicule and mockery.
Xu Linlin looked at Li Pengfei in disbelief. She didn't understand why she had gone to Class 3 and apologized to him in front of all his classmates, but he still took it so lightly and even ridiculed her in public?
In Xu Linlin's expectation, even if Li Pengfei was unwilling to forgive her, he would be embarrassed to say no with so many people watching.
Li Pengfei's reaction was completely beyond her expectations!
"Why are you so stingy? Are you a man?" Xu Linlin said angrily.
The apologetic expression on her face just now disappeared in an instant.
The students in Class 3 were amazed to see her like this.
Li Cui sighed with emotion: "The speed of your face-changing is truly extraordinary. Even the master of Sichuan Opera face-changing would bow down to you and call you 'ancestor'."
Li Cui spoke without lowering his voice, and everyone could hear what he said.
Xu Linlin widened her eyes and glared at Li Cui angrily.
Li Cui immediately said, "Don't glare at me. I'm telling you, I'm not Li Pengfei. If you dare to slander me, I'll curse you to death."
Li Cui didn't seem afraid of Xu Linlin at all and sneered.
Xu Linlin realized that she was going to be in trouble today, so she left in embarrassment and anger.
As soon as she left, the class was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, I've never seen such a shameless person. I feel like Hong Zhixing is less shameless than her." Jiang Haitian said immediately, "Why should we forgive her just because she apologizes? Where does she get the nerve?"
"She's just relying on the fact that she's a woman to force Li Pengfei to forgive her in public," Li Cui said immediately. "Luckily, our Brother Fei is as thick-skinned as a city wall and will definitely not let her succeed."
Li Cui gave Li Pengfei a thumbs up.
Li Pengfei gave him a middle finger.
"Fuck you, you're the one with a face as thick as a city wall!"
Everyone laughed.
-
Li Pengfei complained to Lu Yanhe, "Look, at noon we thought she was a little pitiful, all alone. Do you realize now? Being pitiful to the enemy is cruel to herself. She hasn't even considered turning over a new leaf and is still clinging to her own ideas."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
"That's perfectly normal. How can a minor setback prevent a villain from growing stronger?" He smiled. "You're quite impressive. You didn't even care about her apology. Did you have a pair of sharp eyes that saw that her apology wasn't sincere?"
"Why would I need a sharp eye? I have a brain. Yesterday, she accused me of beating her up, and now she's apologizing to me. Do I have to forgive her just because she's so sincere? Am I out of my mind or possessed by a demon?" Li Pengfei said confidently, "Then I'll beat her up and say sorry to her. Will she forgive me?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
"Transparent."
"Hey, Lao Lu, what's going on between you and Chen Siqi? Many classmates say that you two are quite ambiguous. Is there something going on?" Li Pengfei asked.
"There's no such thing as a bullshit situation. The relationship is better, just like the relationship between you and me is better."
"Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Why don't I believe it?"
Li Pengfei looked Lu Yanhe up and down, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are dishonest."
Lu Yanhe: "Get out of the way. I want to read."
"It's too obvious to avoid the topic."
Lu Yanhe opened the book and ignored Li Pengfei.
Are you attracted to Chen Siqi?
Nonsense, such a beautiful girl, and he happened to see her seemingly proud but actually tsundere side, how could he not be moved.
But there are so many people in the world who make his heart beat faster.
He has no time to think about these things now.
There's no point in having a relationship when you can't even protect yourself.
Even if he wanted to talk, Chen Siqi might not be willing.
Her own home is a mess, and she has a highly capable stepmother who is always keeping an eye on her.
"Oh my god, there's a really handsome history teacher in the second year of high school!" Mei Ping suddenly rushed in and shouted in an exaggerated tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, at least half of the girls in the class raised their heads, their faces glowing.
"What?"
"who?"
"Which class?"
"How handsome is he? More handsome than Lu Yanhe?"
…
Lu Yanhe, who was accidentally called again, pursed his lips silently.
Could they be talking about Su Su?
Looking back, he is indeed quite handsome, at least among ordinary people, he is indeed outstandingly handsome.
-
Mei Ping said sincerely, "If we talk about good looks, Lu Yanhe is still more handsome. But, that Teacher Su has a completely different style. You will know it when you see him. He wears a suit, leather shoes, and a tie. He is much more mature than Lu Yanhe. Ah, that abstinence makes my heart pound!"
Mei Ping is usually a lively and outgoing girl in the class. She expressed her affection with exaggerated body language.
After what she did, all the girls in the class couldn't help but want to go and see what was going on.
Led by Mei Ping, a dozen people set off in a mighty procession.
Boys: “…”
-
Ten minutes later, a group of girls came back chattering and with blushing cheeks.
"He's really handsome."
"Yeah, why isn't he our class's history teacher?"
"I'm so envious of Class 4, Grade 2."
"Compared to him, our history teacher is really hard to describe."
“It’s terrible.”
"She must have deliberately taught terribly in our class. Everyone in Class 4 said her teaching was okay."
"After all, she is the head teacher of Class 4."
…
The topic suddenly turned to criticizing their history teacher Yin Xiangyu.
After listening carefully, Lu Yanhe discovered that everyone had a common dissatisfaction with Yin Xiangyu: her lectures were terrible and perfunctory.
History is the most difficult of the three liberal arts subjects. In the past few years, the exam questions have always been the most important subject in the liberal arts exam. Unfortunately, their history teacher is not very good.
Someone suddenly said, "Why don't we write to the principal and ask for a replacement history teacher?"
This proposal has received support from many people.
Lu Yanhe's mind moved.
It would be a good thing if they could really change the history teacher for their class.
A good teacher is very important to a class's performance in this course.
Just like Lao Chen who is in charge of the English class. Because of him, their class ranks first in English in the whole grade.
But I don’t know if writing a letter to the principal can get the school to agree to this.
-
The proposer quickly wrote the letter, then asked everyone in the class to sign it, made it into a joint letter, and stuffed it into the principal's mailbox.
Lu Yanhe also signed his name.
I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try.
There is a history class in the afternoon.
When Yin Xiangyu walked into the classroom, the joint letter was almost half signed.
As soon as she came in, the atmosphere in the class became a little strange.
Everyone couldn't hide too much on their faces, and some of their hostility towards Yin Xiangyu was revealed.
However, Yin Xiangyu misunderstood these hostilities as the follow-up effects of the incident between Hong Zhixing and Xu Zijun.
What happened to Hong Zhixing really made her feel embarrassed.
At first, she swore that her student was the one being bullied, and even brought people to cause trouble for Liu Qin. In fact, this was not the case at all. She was slapped in the face. Although there was no evidence, it was clear from all the signs that the one who was actually bullied was Xu Zijun.
Yin Xiangyu felt embarrassed.
The more this happened, the more she looked at the students in Class 3, and the more she felt that they were all dissatisfied with her about this matter.
Yin Xiangyu's anger grew more and more, almost to the point of being furious.
-
Finally, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Yin Xiangyu didn't stay for a second, picked up her things and left.
As soon as she left, the classroom exploded.
"She's really getting more and more perfunctory in class. What the hell was she talking about just now?"
"Yeah, I listened to the class carefully for forty minutes, but I had no idea what I heard. I was completely confused."
"We must ask the principal to find us a new history teacher!"
…
Yin Xiangyu's attitude in class just now caused public outrage.
It wasn't so serious before. She happened to catch everyone talking about it at noon. She listened carefully in the afternoon and found that, well, she didn't notice it before because she didn't pay much attention in class. But after listening to a class carefully today, she found that Yin Xiangyu was really not good enough. Not only did she not teach well, but she was also very perfunctory. Whenever it came to some logical test points, she would say, "It's up to you to figure it out on your own."
What the hell?
If that's the case, they can also become history teachers!
Anyway, you should just read what is written in the textbook verbatim, and "figure it out on your own" what is not written in the textbook.
Lu Yanhe had no idea what Yin Xiangyu was thinking. If she was saying her teaching skills were bad, then she should treat everyone equally. She shouldn't have Class 4 topped the grade in history while their class ranked last. The disparity was too huge and unacceptable.
However, even so, the school did not think of replacing Yin Xiangyu.
Why?
Lu Yanhe couldn't figure it out.
Doesn’t the school care about the performance of Class 3?
-
At this time, Liu Qin was also drinking tea with the grade leader.
"Director Chen, I really need your help with this." Liu Qin didn't know how many times she had come to him about this matter. "The college entrance examination is just a few days away, and our class has always ranked last in history. If our students don't work hard, then other subjects should also be ranked last. In fact, I know what Yin Xiangyu is thinking. There are several students in her class who are vying for first place, so she wants to protect them, but the students in my class can't be delayed by her."
Director Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Liu, we've talked about this several times. Actually, I see your class's history scores aren't all that bad. The low average score is probably because the students behind you dragged it down. Don't tell anyone else that Teacher Yin is deliberately dragging down your class's history scores. That's impossible! She teaches history to your class, and you also teach math to theirs. How could she dare do that?"
Liu Qin was so angry, but she had to put on a smile.
"Linyu, Chen Yi, Zheng Meiqi, Xu Zijun, and Chen Qin, the five top students in our class, have an average history score five points lower than the average of the five top students in Yin Xiangyu's class," Liu Qin said. "You know exactly what these five points mean to students in their score range. If she was targeting me, it would be fine. I could just put on a smile and treat her to dinner. But she's targeting the students. She's deliberately trying to trip up these top students so that she can keep the top spot in her class."
Liu Qin got angry by the end of her speech.
Director Chen frowned and asked, "Teacher Liu, you are making such a serious accusation against Teacher Yin. Do you have any evidence?"
"I don't have any evidence, but the scores speak for themselves," Liu Qin said. "Linyu, Chen Yi, and Zheng Meiqi all have the potential to become top scorers. She's holding my students back. Director Chen, aren't you worried that if those students in her class fail the exam, our entire school will be wiped out?"
Director Chen's face darkened as he said, "Bah! The quality of our liberal arts students this year is high, and everyone in the city knows it. Stop being such a pessimist!"
"Director Chen, since you also hope that this year's top scorer will appear in our school, are you willing to watch these seeded players being delayed by her?" Liu Qin did not give in.
Her eyes were filled with an indomitable determination, causing Director Chen to subconsciously avoid her gaze.
"Okay, stop exaggerating here. I will talk to Yin Xiangyu later." Director Chen said impatiently.
Liu Qin frowned: "If you talk to her, will she change?"
Director Chen: "If she doesn't change, I'll get you a new history teacher, okay?"
Liu Qin beamed. "I've been waiting for you to say this! Thank you, Director Chen."
She left contentedly.
Director Chen rubbed his temples with a headache.
He knew what Yin Xiangyu was up to. Many students from Class 3 had previously commented on the school forum that Yin Xiangyu was a poor teacher, diligent in Class 4 but perfunctory in Class 3. He'd seen all this before, but Director Chen didn't want to confront Yin Xiangyu over these comments. It would have seemed like he didn't trust her.
Another thing is that Class 4 taught by Yin Xiangyu has very good grades, and they and Class 3 taught by Liu Qin are the two best classes in the whole grade.
Director Chen didn't want Yin Xiangyu to get upset with him because of this matter.
But Liu Qin had already come to him several times about this matter, and he felt it was time to talk to Yin Xiangyu about it.
It's not okay to go too far.
-
Here, there was a problem with the joint letter from Class 3.
We originally wanted to do a joint letter from the whole class, but one person refused to sign.
"It's up to him to sign or not," Mei Ping said angrily. "He usually likes to act like he's the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, as if we're all fools and he's the only smart one. But in reality, he's just a coward. He's probably afraid of Yin Xiangyu holding a grudge against him. There are so many people in the class, and she still cares about holding a grudge against him."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to sign. I didn't expect everyone to sign anyway. Having so many students sign is beyond my expectations." Another female classmate said immediately.
Zhou Ziyu gave them a thumbs up and said, "You guys are really impressive for coming up with the joint letter so quickly."
Mei Ping said: "This is to save our entire class's history grades."
-
The back area of the classroom.
Li Pengfei said to Lu Yanhe, "Luo Zicheng is such a coward that he doesn't even dare to sign his name. I think he won't be around in our class after he graduates. Who would want to be around him?"
Li Pengfei's words were not actually spoken in anger.
They are all young people. If they leave the group at this time, they will be more or less noticed and excluded.
But Luo Zicheng definitely doesn't care, he has long been a loner.
Maybe in Luo Zicheng's eyes, they are fools.
Lu Yanhe said, "If we can really get a new history teacher, it would be a good thing for us. From Luo Zicheng's perspective, if we really need to change, we won't refuse just because he didn't sign. And if we can't change, and Yin Xiangyu really holds a grudge against us because of this, since he's the only one who didn't sign, Yin Xiangyu will treat him more leniently. He won't suffer any loss in any way."
"So smart." Li Pengfei clicked his tongue twice, and his eyes changed when he looked at Luo Zicheng. Before Lu Yanhe explained, Li Pengfei just thought that Luo Zicheng was just a coward.
-
After school, Mei Ping stuffed the joint letter into the principal's mailbox.
Lu Yanhe did not stay in school for evening study tonight, but went back first.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are not here. They will not be here these few nights. They have a performance this Sunday and they have to practice these few days.
He studies alone in his room, and the environment is better than in the classroom.
There are always some people in the classroom who don't stay still and make some noise.
Lu Yanhe can be more focused if he is alone.
As a result, at 9:30 in the evening, the class group avatar suddenly started jumping wildly.
Li Cui spoke first: Is Yin Xiangyu crazy? There is something wrong with her!
Jiang Haitian: She taught terribly, and now she has the nerve to come in and scold us for being heartless?
Jiang Haitian: So disgusting.
When the group became lively, Lu Yanhe was drinking water. He was surprised to see everyone's comments.
He asked: Yin Xiangyu?
Li Pengfei: You don’t know, during the second evening self-study period, Yin Xiangyu suddenly ran into our classroom and scolded us for being heartless. She had taught us hard for more than a year, and yet we wrote a letter to complain about her. How ridiculous.
Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: She knew about our complaint letter to the principal so quickly?
Chou Tzu-yu: It seemed that the principal took a look at the mailbox as soon as he returned to the office after dinner, and then saw the letter we wrote, and immediately called Teacher Liu and Yin Xiangyu over.
Chen Yi: You know all this.
Chou Tzuyu: Hehe, I have an insider. I can find out about these things happening in school from another group.
Chen Yi: ...
Mei Ping: The funniest thing is that she actually thinks Xu Zijun is the one behind all this. Haha, she speaks so harshly, she is not worthy of being a teacher.
Lu Yanhe asked: What did she say?
Mei Ping: I won’t say more. She said some very unpleasant words to Xu Zijun. Later, I stood up and said that I was the one who planned it, and then she turned her fire on me.
Li Cui: Mei Ping is awesome. She started fighting with Yin Xiangyu and left her speechless.
Mei Ping: That's right. The top students in our class are no worse than those in Class 4. Why do they score worse in history than those top students in their class? If Yin Xiangyu is not hiding it, then she is giving special treatment to the students in her class.
Li Cui: I regret not taking a picture of Yin Xiangyu’s face. You made me speechless.
…
Lu Yanhe probably knew what was going on.
He also didn't expect that so many wonderful things would happen in the class while he was away for an evening study session.
well.
Xu Zijun had suffered an unexpected disaster - Lu Yanhe quickly figured out what was going on. Yin Xiangyu probably thought that Xu Zijun had a grudge against her after what happened with Hong Zhixing, so she planned this.
But Yin Xiangyu didn't know that almost all the students in Class 3 were fed up with her and were extremely dissatisfied with her.
So many things have happened to Xu Zijun recently that Lu Yanhe feels that Xu Zijun may need to find someone to have a good talk with so as to avoid feeling depressed.
In the live broadcast room, many people looked at Lu Yanhe holding his phone in a daze for a long time, and those who were familiar with his live broadcasts were a little surprised.
——This is the first time I see Lu Yanhe in a daze for so long. It’s just like me when I’m distracted while reading.
——He must be relaxing. He has been studying for more than three hours and hasn’t even gone to the restroom.
——I am really impressed by him now. I thought he was just here to put on a show, but I didn’t expect that he would really study live until twelve o’clock every day.
——The first person in the entertainment industry to have a true academic master persona.
The barrage room is always bustling with activity.
