[Chapter 052] Alluring teacher Bian, a small class
Lu YunFei was confused, âWhat is she going crazy about?â
âBian JinYuan talked back at her and walked out of the classroom, causing her to feel that she had lost face, so she went off. Sheâs crazy for using class time to bellyache instead of properly teaching.â
Lu YunFei finally understood.
Zhang YanRong looked at the students in the classroom. Everyone kept their heads down and didnât dare to make a sound, feeling as if the air within the classroom was terrifyingly oppressive.
âAnyone else like to leave?â Zhang YanRong said coldly.
Zhang YanRong slammed the table with a loud âbangâ. Lu YunFei got startled by the sound and said to Bian JinYuan beside him, âSheâs gone crazy again.â
Bian JinYuan brought the booklet up to block Lu YunFeiâs eyes, âMemorise properly.â
Li YuanQing saw how Lu YunFei was busy memorising and Bian JinYuan was reading a book, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do, and so he took out his phone to play games on it.
Inside the classroom, Zhang YanRong couldnât put a lid on her anger and took it out on the remaining students. She waved her hand dismissively at the end of her tirade, âThis class is now self-study, go read your books.â
Everyone looked at each other feeling that they had been treated unjustly.
âWhy is teacher Zhang directing her anger at us!â
âYeah, itâs not like we had angered her.â
âShe was the one who had found trouble with Lu YunFei, and now sheâs turned it around to say that students are unmanageable. If she hadnât found trouble, Lu YunFei wouldnât have left, and Bian JinYuan and Li YuanQing couldnât have followed suit either.â
âLi YuanQing leaving was also because of her taunts. If she hadnât mentioned that they were good friends, would Li YuanQing have continued sitting there?â
âThatâs right,â Li YuanQing replied, âIf she hadnât taunted me, would I still have left?â
âHow are you guys outside?â A student asked.
Li YuanQing glanced at Bian JinYuan who was currently explaining a question to Lu YunFei, âWeâre alright, our study god is currently explaining questions to Lu YunFei.â
âWhat is he explaining?â Someone asked.
Li YuanQing moved closer to listen. In a flash, ten minutes went by.
After the ten minutes were over, Li YuanQing went over to stand beside the booklet and sincerely and gently asked, âFei, could you lend me this booklet to make a copy?â
He winked in an attempt to be endearing.
Both were winks, yet Lu YunFei didnât understand how Bian JinYuanâs wink was as if flowers had blossomed, but Li YuanQingâs wink was such that his bones wanted to jump out of his skin.
Lu YunFei turned to his tutor, âTeacher, can I lend it out?â
âUp to you,â Bian JinYuan didnât mind.
âThen Iâll lend it to you,â Lu YunFei said, âBut these are organised for me and may not be suitable for you.â
âItâs suitable, itâs suitable, I think itâs suitable,â Li YuanQing hurriedly replied.
Lu YunFei saw that he didnât mind and arranged a time for him to copy the booklet, reminding him, âYour phoneâs been ringing for a while.â
Li YuanQing looked down to find that the students in the group chat were still waiting for his reply.
âSorry about that, the question that Bian JinYuan went over was also a mistake that I commonly make, so I listened in as well and didnât notice my phone.â
The students in the classroom made to self-study: âŠ
âSo right now, you and Lu YunFei are currently outside having a small tutoring class from the study god?â
âThe main person is Lu YunFei, Iâm merely an extra,â Li YuanQing was very clear on his role.
The students cried, âHere we are doing self-study! Self-study! Weâre all students here but why are we living different fates!â
On this day, class one students were split into two groups. The students in the classroom wanted to come out, while the students outside⊠didnât want to go in.
When the bell rang at the end of class, Lu YunFei had memorised quite a bit. Zhang YanRong exited the classroom and glared at them. Lu YunFei smiled back, Bian JinYuan was cool, while Li YuanQing had his head lowered as he played games on his phone. Zhang YanRong was so infuriated that she trodged loudly back into the staff office in her high heels.
At Zhang Yanrongâs departure, the students from class one who had suffered for an entire lesson started to complain without hesitation. Each and every one of them were incredibly angered, yet helpless about it. What they didnât expect was that for the afternoon English class, Zhang YanRong made Lu YunFei stand outside again.
âLu YunFei, what are you doing laying on the table? Are you tired? Then stand outside to clear your head, come back when youâre awake.â
Lu YunFei found this laughable, and took the booklet to leave.
Bian JinYuan saw Lu YunFei leave and took his book to leave as well.
Li YuanQing admonished, âIsnât this enough, why would a teacher such as yourself spend your time studying how to punish students to stand outside instead of studying how to properly teach?!â
Zhang YanRong was about to reply angrily, but Li YuanQing immediately followed up with, âSave your energy, Iâll leave.â
This was virtually the same scenario as this morning. Zhang YanRong was so incensed that both her hands trembled. She didnât understand why she had to deal with such a bunch of terrible students, and once again launched into a tirade at the remaining students in the classroom.
âTeacher, please continue teaching,â The class representative said.
âTeach? How am I supposed to teach! Iâm met with such attitudes like theirs. Is this the attitude of a student?â
âThen are you displaying the attitude of a teacher?â A student within the class asked.
âWhat did you say? What, do you want to leave too?â
The other party smiled and stood up to leave the classroom.
Zhang YanRong was so piqued that she shouted, âWhoever wants to leave, leave now!â
The classroom quieted for a second, and soon four to five boys stood up. Following that, two to three girls also stood up to leave the classroom,
In a moment, a stream of students continued exiting the classroom.
Lu YunFei saw how his classmates continued emerging from the classroom and asked, âZhang YanRong had also chased you out?â
âNo, sheâs throwing a fit in the classroom. We wanted her to teach, but she refused and even said, âdo you also want to leaveâ, everyone was so annoyed that we came out.â
âRidiculous,â Someone scolded, âWhatâs her deal in directing her anger at you towards us, we didnât provoke her.â
âI hadnât provoked her either,â Lu YunFei claimed.
âYou made her apologise to you, in her eyes that counts as provoking her.â
âThat was because she had falsely accused me, why else would I ask her to apologise to me?â
âSigh,â Everyone breathed out heavily as they stood against the wall.
Bian JinYuan was still testing Lu YunFei on English vocabulary. Seeing that everyone had stood properly, Lu YunFei didnât say more and continued his spelling test.
Lu YunFei obediently spelt the words out loud from memory.
Everyone saw how smoothly their question and answer was and quipped, âYour little tutoring class doesnât seem to be affected.â
âWho asked teacher Bian to be so responsible,â Lu YunFei praised.
Bian JinYuan continued to test him, and Lu YunFei continued answering. Everyone was bored and followed Lu YunFei along in answering, successfully revising their vocabulary.
After the spelling test, Bian JinYuan started to explain the fill-in-the-blanks section. Lu YunFei had never done well in this section, and his basics were flimsy. Thus, Bian JinYuan explained it very thoroughly. As everyone listened in, they unconsciously started to huddle around. By the time Bian JinYuan noticed that the people surrounding him, he and Lu YunFei had been completely surrounded.
Everyone laughed, âGo on, please continue talking.â
Bian JinYuan suddenly felt that he didnât want to continue.
However Lu YunFei found that this worked out well. Everyone was sharing the same punishment, so it was nice that they could all learn together.
âContinue please,â he urged Bian JinYuan.
Bian JinYuan had no choice but to continue explaining. This fill-in-the-blank portion was more difficult, the attached meanings are varied⊠as Bian JinYuan explained, he would connect the concepts to other test portions. Lu YunFei, who had a poor grasp of the basics, felt very enlightened.
His classmates who saw his reactions at connecting the dots felt that Lu YunFeiâs basics were too terrible! At the same time, it explained why his grades had improved by so much. When Bian JinYuan taught, it really did seem logical.
Everyone happily listened for an entire class period. After Zhang YanRong left the classroom, they found out that she had made the class self-study again. The students who had gone outside the class felt that they had made good use of their time.
Lu YunFei had already gone through Zhang YanRongâs taunts twice. The next English lesson when Zhang YanRong looked at him, he automatically took his booklet out with him. Zhang YanRong hadnât stopped him, and so Bian JinYuan and Li YuanQing followed him out.
Lu YunFei said to Bian JinYuan, âThe one sheâs punishing is me, not you. You donât have to follow me out.â
Bian JinYuan replied with an âMmmâ, and continued the next time.
Zhang YanRong saw how Lu YunFei went out for his punishment at the same time every day like it was nothing, as if he didnât seem to think anything of her, and got even angrier. Her lessons started to get messy, and the number of times she turned the class into self-study periods increased.
Some of the students in class werenât happy, to which she replied, âAre you the teacher or am I the teacher here, who are you to tell me how to teach?â
These students were so angry that they followed Lu YunFei to stand outside at her next class.
Lu YunFei noticed how the people getting punished seemed to have multiplied and said, âWhatâs up? I know that she and I donât see eye to eye, but why are you all joining the fray?â
âItâs self-study all the same inside, might as well listen to Bian JinYuan go through the paper with you. Who knows, we could even glean some insights to the topic.â
Lu YunFei: ⊠Somehow this felt inexplicably humbling.
He Pan asked, âYouâve already been standing outside for four or five lessons, why havenât you met the department head or homeroom teacher? Otherwise you could also give them feedback on this matter. Should we look for them?â
Lu YunFei hadnât actually regarded this as an issue. First High had never seen a case of someone abusing their power, and he wasnât one to flaunt his familyâs wealth and status either. He had been inclined to go with âitâs getting colder, let Zhang YanRong resign # â. To him, he didnât like Zhang YanRong. But while that was the case, Zhang YanRong was an English teacher at First High who taught students other than himself. As long as the majority didnât find issue with Zhang YanRong and thought that she taught well, Lu YunFei didnât want to confront her and affect everyoneâs grades.
After all, whether he listened in class or not didnât matter. It wasnât as if he could understand it, so whether or not he was inside or outside the classroom didnât make much of a difference.
Now that this issue had affected the entire class one, Lu YunFei thought about it and decided that it was best to at least inform Li Li about this situation.
âIâll look for teacher Li,â he said.
âLetâs go together,â He Pan said, âWeâll vouch for you, and can also explain the current situation better.â
âSure,â Lu YunFei agreed.
As they said, a row of students headed towards the year two staff office.
When Li Li finished her class and returned to the staff office, she saw her homeroom students standing in front of Xiao Zhan, talking to him about something.
As she pushed the door to enter, Li YuanQing turned his head and saw her, waving her over, âTeacher Li, weâre here to look for you.â
As his words dropped, Zhang YanRong also entered the staff office. She saw Lu YunFei and company, let out a snort, and went to sit at her desk.
