Chapter 47

Feng Fei opened the door and entered with a smile “Teacher Ni.”

Ni Meilin looked at Feng Fei with mixed emotions.

Ni Meilin started teaching 20 years ago and became the class teacher in her second year. From then to now she had taught innumerable students. Over the years she has already seen both what she should and shouldn’t see.

After seeing the tooth marks she’d seen on Haixiu’s neck, Ni Meilin had pretty much immediately understood the situation. The tooth mark had been on the side of Haixiu’s neck, in an ambiguous position. Such a light mark would not have been caused by bullying, nor would it have been a joke between boys.

Ni Meilin didn’t want to think about what might have happened when this mark was left, but she could judge that Haixiu must not have struggled much when it happened. The tooth marks on Haixiu’s neck were very hidden. If Haixiu’s movements weren’t so large due to his anxiousness, she wouldn’t have noticed it. It could be seen that the person wasn’t so unbridled. Or, Ni Meilin thought as she glanced at Feng Fei, that the person who left traces had some restraint, and knew to protect Haixiu.

Ni Meilin thought back to half a year ago, when it was her that had told Feng Fei about Haixiu’s situation. She had totally trusted him, and had agreed to all his requests. If he wanted Haixiu to change seats then she had changed seats. If he didn’t want to participate in the morning exercises like Haixiu then she would let him. She tolerated all the small movements they had made during class, and repeatedly checked that Feng Fei wasn’t bothering Haixiu during tests, only seeing that they communicated just a little bit more than others.

Now, when she thought about the relationship that they had developed, she blamed herself, and was also somewhat angry with Feng Fei. Ni Meilin’s tone was dull.

“Right now it’s the time for self study. Who let you come up here?”

Feng Fei didn’t care, and said with a smile,

“I have something I want to talk with you about. You can rest assured, I’ll immediately head back down once I’m done”.

Ni Meilin gave Feng Fei a cold glance.

“Speak”. Ni Meilin was able to harden her heart and reject Haixiu’s desperate pleading, and was even more able to reject Feng Fei.

“I’ve recently heard that the third years won’t have to do supplementary lessons this winter break”. Feng Fei stood upright with his back as straight as a pen and spoke with a sincere voice. “After hearing the news, I was incredibly disappointed. Although my grades are only average, I am also hoping to get a good result in the exams the June of the next year. I would like to satisfy my teachers, make my parents proud, properly represent my school, get accepted into my ideal school, and contribute to the progression of the motherland towards a better future. And so, I beg the school teachers to consider setting up a supplementary lesson. I am willing to participate and pay tuition fees. I hope the teachers can still teach us some hard work during the reunion of thousands of families”.

Ni Meilin was speechless. Feng Fei winked at Ni Meilin and started to discuss with a smile.

“Teacher Ni, can’t we stretch the rules a bit? I’m so eloquent and attentive, can’t you consider giving me a chance?”

I hope the teachers can still teach us some hard work during the reunion of thousands of families…

Ni Meilin didn’t answer, unscrewing her water bottle and drinking two mouthfuls of tea. Using that gap, she organized the thoughts that had been jumbled into a mess by Feng Fei. She had long expected Feng Fei to come and find him, and she had also made some preparations in her heart. However, she never expected Feng Fei to come and tell him that he also wanted to attend the cram school. Ni Meilin’s brain was a bit muddled.

Feng Fei definitely came up because Haixiu had told him about the supplementary lesson matter. According to what Ni Meiline knew, Haixiu’s mother was very busy with work, and it was impossible for her to spend time with Haixiu before the year. It wasn’t like Haixiu hated supplementary lessons, so the strong rejection just now didn’t fit his personality, unless it was just so that he could be together with Feng Fei.

Ni Meilin originally thought that since Haixiu’s pleading went unsuccessful, Feng Fei must have come to harass herself, and might even threaten herself, that if she insisted on making Haixiu go to the cram school, he would report the school and make it so nobody would be able to take supplementary lessons.

But Feng Fei did not do this.

Feng Fei wanted to spend time with Haixiu over the break, but he also wanted Haixiu to continue what he had always worked so hard for, and to earnestly take the supplementary lessons. And so, he took a step back and pleaded for the school to bear with his presence and allow him to attend the supplementary lessons as well.

Ni Meilin had just repeatedly told Haixiu to not tell others about the supplementary lesson matter. In Feng Fei’s words just now, he indeed did not say anything about there already being supplementary lessons, and although both him and Ni Meilin both knew the unspoken truth, from only his words, Feng Fei did not mix Haixiu into his business at all.

Even if Ni Meilin had even stricker principles, after analyzing this far, the original balance in her heart had quickly started to become biased.

Feng Fei saw that Ni Meilin hadn’t spoken for a while now, and urged,

“Teacher Ni, can’t you talk to the principal? My proposal is pretty good, right?”

Ni Meilin was unimpressed, and her heart remained unmoved. She lifted the lesson plan and opened it up, icily saying,

“There is no reason for me to be accommodating. This year, the school has to abide by the rules, not providing supplementary lessons during this break in order to ensure the students’ health and learning environment is good”.

Feng Fei glared at Ni Meilin, who was looking down at the lesson plan, and silently swore at her. In the next second, he sincerely asked,

“Teacher, I really don’t want to waste any time this winter break, can’t you just give me an opportunity? I just need a quiet place to study…”.

Ni Meilin looked up and frowned.

“Stop harassing me, just go back to self study as quickly as possible”.

Feng Fei was spouting countless swear words in his hear, but he grit his teeth and tried to move the teacher.

“Teacher… I didn’t tell you before, but my parents have actually emigrated outside China, I will probably have to spend the holidays alone. I’m actually a pretty emotionally fragile person, and when the next year comes I don’t want to once again step into that cold…”

“Are you leaving or not?” Ni Meilin frowned. “If you want to take supplementary classes so much, why don’t you stay after school today in my office to take them?”

Feng Fei was helpless, and had to say,

“Alright then, I won’t hold you up from your work anymore”. Feng Fei’s lips turned, and he silently swore at her while he was walking out, when Ni Meilin suddenly said,

“Feng Fei…”

“Huh?”

Ni Meilin looked at Feng Fei and said after a moment of silence,

“You are already all grown up. At this age, you have to be responsible for your actions, and make sure you don’t do anything you’ll regret later on”.

Feng Fei looked at Ni Meilin, not really understanding what she was trying to get at, and answered,

“I will”.

Ni Meilin spoke again.

“Haixiu… he has to be even more careful”.

Feng Fei’s eye twitched, and he suddenly smiled.

“You can rest assured, teacher Ni, I have never done anything that I would regret, especially matters involving him”.

Ni Meilin nodded her head, and looked down again at her lesson plan. Feng Fei started walking away again, but just as he was about to step out, Ni Meilin stopped him.

In the classroom on the second floor, Haixiu was anxiously waiting for Feng Fei. The moment he saw that Feng Fei had come back, he hurriedly asked,

“How, How’d it go?”

Feng Fei shook his head and sighed.

“There’s no use”.

Although Haixiu had already guessed the results, he was still a little disappointed, and said in a small voice,

“After class ends I’ll go talk to teacher Ni again, and this time I’ll communicate with her properly. Teacher Ni is very reasonable, so she’ll definitely promise me that I won’t have to go”.

“How can you not go?” Feng Fei firmly rejected him. “If you don’t go, then everybody else…” He looked to his sides quickly to see if anyone was listening, then lowered his voice and said, “If you don’t go, but everybody else goes, what will you do if everybody scores higher than you?”

Hai Xiu laughed and shook his head.

“It’ll be alright, i’ll just study some more in private and i’ll be fine”.

Feng Fei disagreed.

“I just told you we didn’t talk about that. Don’t mention it anymore, okay? In the end it’s just ten days after all, just go attend”.

Haixiu reluctantly spoke,

“But we’d already agreed to go out and spend time together…”

“It’s not like we’ll never get another chance to spend time together anyways”. Feng Fei pinched Haixiu’s face and smiled. “When the time comes i’ll send you there. The minute your class ends, i’ll bring you out to play”. Haixiu was still a little bit disappointed, but he was afraid Feng Fei would be even more unhappy, and barely managed to nod his head with a smile.

“Ok”.

Feng Fei picked up a book with his hand, seemingly unintentional.

“Back in the office, otherwise than the matter we just talked about, did she say anything else?”

Haixiu shook his head.

“We didn’t talk about anything else. Why? Is there something wrong?” Haixiu turned his head to look at Feng Fei, exposing the bite mark on his neck. The moment Feng Fei saw the bite mark, he immediately understood, hammering the table fiercely and swearing a couple words under his breath.

“What… what’s wrong?” Haixiu got nervous again. “Did teacher Ni say something to you?”

“No”. Feng Fei’s expression was restored to normal, saying, “The moment I think about how she didn’t let me attend, I get angry”.

Haixiu felt distressed when he thought about how Feng Fei must’ve looked being rejected by the teacher, and inexplicably felt a little guilty. He apologized to Feng Fei, making him laugh. “What does this have to do with you? Go on and read your book, it’ll be alright now”.

Feng Fei looked at the textbook in his hand and thought about the matter for a while. After thinking about it for a bit, he let his mind be at rest. Ni Meilin was obviously angry today, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Even if she did find out, she didn’t have any conclusive evidence. He and Haixiu only needed to stubbornly refuse to admit, and she wouldn’t be able to do anything.

And besides, Ni Meilin was not the kind of person with blind prejudice against people like them. Even though Feng Fei always complained about how strict she was, he knew in his heart that Ni Meilin was a very righteous person.

Ni Meilin wouldn’t use extreme measures against him and Haixiu. Just now she was probably just extremely upset, and just lost control of herself for a moment, not much else.

Feng Fei knew Ni Meilin was overconcered, and that she was also worried about affecting Haixiu’s mental condition. He secretly rejoiced, as Haixiu’s illness had become their life saving token. Haixiu looked over at Feng Fei every two lines he read, and Feng Fei smiled at Haixiu after properly analyzing the situation. “There’s really nothing wrong, you do your own stuff now”. In the future, he would just need to be more careful. After all, not everyone was like Ni Meilin.

The days before the break went by quickly, and the original plans to go skiing or to hot springs all went up in smoke. On the first day of the holidays, Haixiu was taken by Jiang Yuman early in the morning to ask the teacher where his make-up class was. The education bureau had recently been conducting rigorous investigations, and the original place the school had rented out was too conspicuous. Ont he very last day before the break the school found another classroom at a nearby technical school. Haixiu and the other kids mixed in with the students from the technical school, and their movements weren’t as obvious anymore.

After finding the right place, Jiang Yuman reminded Haixiu to go find a good place to eat lunch at noon, and hurried away.

Haixiu found his seat and sat down, looked at the students around him, and thought they all looked very serious–they were all the top ten students of their grades. He put down his school bag, and took out his phone to send Feng Fei a text to tell him that he had already arrived. Feng Fei didn’t reply even after a long time, and given that it was the first day of the break, Haixiu figured that Feng Fei was still sleeping in at this time.

Haixiu looked around quietly and let out a quiet sigh. He really wasn’t used to not having Feng Fei beside him.

The students filed in one after another, and the teacher who was lecturing also arrived. The teacher got familiar with the classroom, and, seeing as there was no more chalk left, went to go try to find some. The students whispered to one another, and Haixiu bowed his head down to read his book when he heard a gasp. He raised his head up, and immediately was shocked.

The person who had entered, Feng Fei, who was one of the most handsome boys in highschool, as well as a well known ‘bad student’. He wore a dazzling jersey with headphones hanging around his neck, and held a school bag in one hand and a bento in the other as he took big steps into the classroom and walked straight to Haixiu’s side.

Everyone turned to look at Feng Fei with surprise. Haixiu stared at Feng Fei, stunned, his heart pounding.

“You…”

Feng Fei put the bento in front of Haixiu and smiled.

“What’s wrong?” He glanced at the student sitting next to Haixiu, and the classmate very courteously picked up his school bag and went to go find another seat. Feng Fei sat down and looked at all the students who were still looking at him, frowning. “What are you looking at?”

The top students turned their heads back together to look at their textbooks, not even daring to say a single sentence. Haixiu was struck dumb.
