Chapter 137: Chengque Volunteers
Fortunately, with Wen Yu’s encouragement, Fu Chengque finally took that step forward.
Following Wen Yu’s example, she delivered a brief blessing, and then took the red envelope handed over by Teacher Chen. Fu Chengque suddenly felt delighted and sweetly exclaimed, “Teacher Chen is really nice!”
Ah!
Comfortable!
Refreshing!
Full of vigor!
Chen Xiongguo floated, giving out red envelopes to students on the first day of school, which was a first for him, but it felt good.
Taking advantage of this good feeling, why not give Wen Yu a piece of his mind!
“Wen Yu.”
Wen Yu stepped forward, “Teacher?”
“Did you have a happy Chinese New Year?”
“It was great, how about you, teacher?”
“Not bad.”
Chen Xiongguo blew away the tea leaves, took a sip of tea, made a sound, and then said, “Have you thought about your target universities?”
“Not yet, teacher. Our grades are still unstable, so we plan to wait and see.”
The old man nodded, put down his cup, and glanced further back, “And you, Fu Chengque?”
“Uh, I haven’t… thought about it.”
“You have to think about it! Both of you have to think about it!” Chen Xiongguo shifted his chair, straightened up, “Not only do you have to think about it, but the teacher also has to think about it for you, and your parents have to think about it too! This weekend, let’s say Sunday, I’ll visit both of your homes. Inform your parents.”
Wen Yu remained expressionless.
Fu Chengque was surprised, “Huh?”
“What’s with the ‘huh’? Can’t I go?”
“No… it’s not…”
Chen Xiongguo was quite satisfied, looking at Wen Yu’s “stunned” face, feeling even more relieved: You little rascal, scared you, haha.
Home visit.
Teacher Chen wants to do home visits.
This matter made Fu Chengque’s head buzz. She forgot about the conversation she had planned to talk about with Teacher Chen about becoming a representative in the morning.
Outside the office, Fu Chengque looked at Wen Yu with a helpless expression.
“Wen Yu, why does Teacher Chen want to visit our homes?”
“He doesn’t want to lose two good students all at once.”
“Huh? What do you mean? Explain it to me.”
“Haha, don’t worry, despite his arrogance, he’s actually quite timid.”
“Huh? What can that stern-faced devil be afraid of?”
“He’s afraid of what I might do to you.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah.”
Fu Chengque didn’t quite understand the meaning, but seeing Wen Yu’s relaxed demeanor, she inexplicably felt reassured.
When disaster strikes, there’s always someone to rely on. If the sky were to fall, she felt that Wen Yu could handle it.
It was cold outside, but warm in the classroom.
When Wen Yu and Fu Chengque returned to the classroom, the surge of warmth pushed them back like waves.
Fu Chengque exclaimed, “Wow, it’s really warm.”
As she sat down, her buttocks touched the chair and shivered—long johns couldn’t withstand the coldness of the chair.
Fang Ling came over, “Chengque, you’re back. What did Teacher Chen, that grim reaper, want with you guys?”
“Teacher Chen said…” Fu Chengque looked horrified, her teeth chattering, her neck turning like an old gear without grease, stuttering, “He said…”
“What did he say?” Fang Ling shrunk her neck.
“He said… he wants to… visit… our homes!”
“Wow!!” Fang Ling and Xiao Gua beside her exclaimed simultaneously.
Xiao Gua patted her chest, “This is too terrifying, this is really too terrifying… Chengque, Teacher Chen wants to visit your home?”
Fu Chengque deflated, “Yeah, sigh!”
“Condolences.”
“Can’t help it.”
Teacher’s home visits are terrifying for students.
Fortunately, Wen Yu and Fu Chengque had some good news that they were both good students, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
The first day of school was very leisurely.
The students couldn’t settle down to study, but Fu Chengque was full of energy—she had to raise her grades high to have any hope of becoming a representative. The second mock exams would be held at the end of February and beginning of March, leaving her with less than a month to study.
She couldn’t keep the matter of becoming a representative from Teacher Chen. So the next day, she mustered up her courage and went to see Teacher Chen alone.
Without Wen Yu’s support, Fu Chengque felt genuinely nervous.
Lightly tapping on the office door, she slowly walked in.
Teacher Chen was busy writing something, seemingly not expecting anyone to come.
Until she got closer.
“Teacher Chen.”
This voice…
Chen Xiongguo looked up, surprised to see Fu Chengque standing before him.
“Fu Chengque, you’ve come to see the teacher, is something the matter?”
His face wasn’t dark, but he didn’t have the natural smile he had when Wen Yu was around.
“Teacher, I… I want to, uh…”
“Hmm?”
Fu Chengque’s forehead was sweating, her hands and feet tingling. She felt like she couldn’t survive in this office without Wen Yu. His absence made the air hard to breathe, and she felt like running away.
But she was Empress.
The future Empress, how could she just hide behind Wen Yu?
She had to stand up!
“Teacher!” Fu Chengque suddenly raised her voice.
“Ah!?” Chen Xiongguo was startled, “Speak a little quieter, it’s okay, the teacher’s ears are fine.”
“Teacher, I want to be the representative at the oath-taking ceremony!”
This time, it was Chen Xiongguo’s turn to be surprised. He was stunned for a moment, “Is it for the oath-taking ceremony for the university entrance examination in early March?”
“Yes, yes!” Fu Chengque nodded vigorously.
“Why do you want to go? Can you tell the teacher your reasons?”
“Uh.” Fu Chengque was at a loss. She was least adept at answering this kind of question.
She suddenly thought of Wen Yu. That guy, Wen Yu, was the best at answering these questions. His mouth was quick and eloquent, if only she had his skill.
Seeming to sense her embarrassment, Teacher Chen smiled and said softly, “It’s okay, just tell me your thoughts.”
“Teacher… I just want to stand on the stage…” Fu Chengque had a flash of inspiration, “I just really want to tell everyone that as long as they study hard, seize the time, and treat themselves as the masters of time! In daily life, helping each other with classmates, learning from each other’s strengths and weaknesses, we can gradually improve, even if it’s the last moment, we won’t give up!”
After she finished, she felt very pleased.
But Chen Xiongguo’s face darkened, and he slapped the table.
“Fu Chengque, let me ask you, is it that brat Wen Yu, he doesn’t want to be the representative?”
“What?!” Fu Chengque was caught off guard.
“Just answer me.”
“Teacher, I don’t know…”
Fu Chengque panicked, did she say something wrong? It shouldn’t be, the speech just now was the essence she learned carefully from behind Wen Yu.
It shouldn’t have gone wrong…
But why?
Chen Xiongguo snorted, “That kid must be unwilling to be the representative, finding it troublesome! He pushed you forward, made you endure my bad temper and volunteered to be the representative, right? You don’t have to say, I can guess directly, I know him too well!”
Then he angrily said, “The representative for this conference hasn’t been decided yet, but he’s impatiently sending you over. It shows how lazy that kid is! He’s betting that the teachers will choose him? What a joke! Little brat, I’ll teach him a lesson sooner or later!” He clenched his teeth at the end.
Teacher, uh… What kind of words are these?
“Teacher…”
“You go, call Wen Yu over, I’ll scold him to vent my anger.”
“Teacher…”
“By the way, pick up some sticks outside. I don’t punish students, I use them to pick my teeth. The thicker, the better.”
“Teacher…”
Fu Chengque was completely at a loss.
Oh, Teacher, listen to me.
