Chapter 224 -195: The Next Class and the New Teacher

March 2.

Sunday.

After finishing the buffet, Xue Yuantong utilized some walking aid techniques.

Jiang Ning dragged her out of the Lanma Mall, then lifted her onto the back seat of his mountain bike and took her home.

With evening study session at school a must, Xue Yuantong went back to her room to sleep, asking Jiang Ning to wake her before he left and declined having dinner.

Alone, Jiang Ning practiced his cultivation. When it grew dark, he opened the door and woke Xue Yuantong.

Xue Yuantong jolted up, groggy: “Is it morning already?”

She widened her eyes, completely forgetting whether it was day or night.

“It’s evening,” Jiang Ning said, “school has started.”

Sleeping in the afternoon, if too long, often led to grogginess.

He flicked his finger, casting a spell to help Xue Yuantong wake up.

“Go wash your face.”

…

Class Eight.

The students at the back had all gathered.

“Brother Nan, Brother Nan, you should have come to the city to hang out this morning,” Cui Yu said.

Guo Kunnan sat calmly, having mended his shattered Dao Heart during a two-day visit home. Now, his mentality was extremely stable.

He had grown again this week compared to last week.

Thinking back, last week’s him seemed childish, immature. If the current Guo Kunnan were to handle last week’s matters, he would definitely do so with ease and comfort.

“Did you guys go skating today?” Guo Kunnan asked blandly.

“Yeah, not only did we skate, but Meng Gui also treated us to a meal, spending over five hundred bucks,” Cui Yu said, surprised by Meng Gui’s generosity.

“Holy shit, that much money?” Guo Kunnan was shocked; his weekly allowance was barely over one hundred, so five hundred plus was almost a month’s worth of his living expenses.

“What did you guys eat?” Guo Kunnan asked.

“The restaurant on the fourth level of Lanma’s Phase One building, we ordered a whole tableful: roasted chicken, spicy fish heads, sautéed prawns…” Cui Yu listed several dishes.

Guo Kunnan almost felt hungry from the list.

Cui Yu praised, “That restaurant really tastes great, but it’s just so expensive.”

“Damn, I should have gone.” Guo Kunnan regretted missing such an opportunity, which was rare.

“Did you see Jiang Yanan’s best friend? Is she good-looking?” Guo Kunnan knew Meng Gui moved on to a new crush but he hadn’t seen this girl his friend boasted about.

After thinking, Cui Yu said, “Pretty good-looking, very beautiful actually.”

Guo Kunnan trusted Cui Yu’s judgment—except for Hu Jun, the taste of the other guys in the back wasn’t much different from his own.

“How beautiful, compared to Bai Yuxia?” The best way to gauge one girl’s looks was to compare her with another.

Cui Yu recalled for a moment: “Half a point less than Bai Yuxia.”

Guo Kunnan: “That’s very beautiful already.”

Dan Kaiquan, seeing the two chatting, came over to join: “What are you guys talking about?”

Dan Kaiquan now sat at the front, but his heart was with the back—it was where he thought he belonged.

Cui Yu said, “I was talking about Meng Gui’s girlfriend.”

As Wang Longlong kept watching Ma Shicheng play video games, he chimed in: “That’s not a good topic to discuss!”

Cui Yu ignored him and explained, “Brother Nan just asked me how beautiful Meng Gui’s crush is, and I said she’s just a bit worse than Bai Yuxia.”

At these words, Dan Kaiquan looked as if he himself were being praised, his face filled with a beaming smile and his mood brightened:

“Hey, I’m not bragging, but Bai Yuxia is the prettiest girl in our school.”

Cui Yu was skeptical, at least the girl in the experimental class looked steadier than Bai Yuxia.

Guo Kunnan ignored Dan Kaiquan’s boasting and asked, “Do you think Meng Gui can win over that girl?”

Having gained lessons and experience from his own romantic failures, Guo Kunnan felt that he could provide strategic advice to help increase his friends’ chances in pursuing girls.

“That’s tough,” Cui Yu replied.

He added, “She’s pretty.”

“And she studies in the Qingbei Class at Second Middle School, we’re not the same type of people.”

With those words, silence fell.

They were high school students and could feel the disparity; the esteemed Qingbei Class at Second Middle School commanded respect just by its mention.

It felt like another world.

Honestly, despite their usual playful demeanor, everyone recognized their own bounds; they didn’t even dare to dream about girls from the neighboring experimental class, let alone from Second Middle School.

Hearing the inevitability in his words and everyone’s silence, Dan Kaiquan scoffed,

“So what about the Qingbei Class at Second Middle, they’re still no match for Xue Yuantong who trounced them on the ground. What’s so great about them!”

Cui Yu was taken aback, then he realized, “You have a point.”

He had unconsciously overlooked that they had a true god in their class. Now recalling, he realized:

‘Right, Xue Yuantong is better than the students at the Qingbei Class!’

She ranked first in the city, didn’t that mean she dominated over both the Yu Zhou Second Middle School and Tu County No.1 High School?

Thinking this, he quickly looked towards Xue Yuantong’s seat.

There, Jiang Ning was holding a strawberry high up and Xue Yuantong was stretching her arms, jumping and trying to grab the strawberry, looking hilariously clumsy.

All of them witnessed this scene.

Dan Kaiquan said, “Brothers, have you found your confidence again?”

Cui Yu: “I’m back in the game.”

Guo Kunnan: “Qingbei Class is nothing special.”

“Speaking of which, I went to Lanma Mall today and saw Jiang Ning and the others,” Cui Yu said.

“Did Jiang Ning have dinner with you guys?” Guo Kunnan asked.

“No, he was with Xue Yuantong, but guys, I found something outrageous. Jiang Ning knows so many beautiful girls. I saw another pretty girl at Lanma, and she was really pretty, and she seemed close to Jiang Ning.”

Cui Yu was envious. For guys, being able to interact well with beautiful girls was always a pleasant thing, no matter the circumstances.

Ma Shicheng, who was playing a game, said, “I was his deskmate last year, and I noticed it early on.”

Wang Longlong said, “Brother Ma, Jiang Ning left you for a pretty girl, but don’t worry, Longlong will never leave you!”

“Brother Ma, stop chatting. Let’s play Clash of Clans!”

Recently, Ma Shicheng was playing ‘Clash of Clans,’ and Wang Longlong found it very thrilling. Brother Ma was not only skilled at tactics but also formidable at strategy.

At that moment, a huge figure entered the classroom from the back.

Everyone looked up to see Hu Jun greeting them:

“Tianpeng, did your hamster eat today?”

Yan Tianpeng was a student from the neighboring Class 9. He was a solid one meter ninety, built like a small mountain, standing at the doorway.

Cui Yu looked at him; once a person reached a height of one meter ninety, it naturally exerted a certain pressure.

Additionally, with Yan Tianpeng’s burly build, it was no exaggeration for Cui Yu to think that a punch from Yan Tianpeng could knock him to the ground.

“It has.”

Yan Tianpeng was a boarding student who kept a cute hamster in his dorm. Hu Jun liked the hamster very much and often visited Yan Tianpeng’s room after evening self-study to pet it.

“Is Lu Qiqi here?” Yan Tianpeng inquired, his face round. Despite his large physique, he still looked quite pleasant.

Guo Kunnan sighed, “Tianpeng, take it easy.”

He was a boarding student; last term, Yan Tianpeng visited their dorm asking about Lu Qiqi. It was clear to anyone who saw that he was smitten with Lu Qiqi.

However, last term, Yan Tianpeng hesitated without preparing himself, and meanwhile, Lu Qiqi started dating a senior from the second year.

Yan Tianpeng clenched his fist, “I won’t give up.”

Guo Kunnan, gently spoken and reasonable, and known for treating others fairly, sometimes treated people to meals with his spare money, which maintained his good relationships, said persuasively, “Shouldn’t you reconsider what you are doing? She has a boyfriend.”

He earnestly added, “You can’t win over Lu Qiqi.”

Lu Qiqi loved makeup and dressing up. She sat in the back row, and Guo Kunnan often heard her speak. She spent money lavishly. To Guo Kunnan’s knowledge, Yan Tianpeng did not have much in living expenses, and being a big guy, he ate a lot.

Seeing the situation, Cui Yu said, “Today Meng Gui and I went out with Qiqi and the others. At lunch, Qiqi wanted her boyfriend to pay, and it was over five hundred.”

Yan Tianpeng didn’t say anything but after a while, he said, “When Qiqi comes, send me a QQ message.”

He then left Class 8.

“That’s just ridiculous!” Dan Kaiquan ranted. “Qiqi has a boyfriend. Why is he still pursuing her? Does he have some kind of fetish?”

Hu Jun said, “How can you say that!”

“Everyone has the right to pursue love.”

Guo Kunnan: “Get lost.”

Speaking frankly, Cui Yu admitted, “To tell the truth, Qiqi doesn’t fancy him. You see, despite his strong build, he’s not popular among girls; he’s too bulk for their liking. They prefer someone slightly lean, like Jiang Ning.”

Dan Kaiquan agreed, then he suddenly wondered, “What do you guys think, if Yan Tianpeng got into a fight with Jiang Ning, who would win?”

“You see, although Yan Tianpeng seems affable, he got angry once and punched the tiles on the outer wall, shattering them,” he said.

Ma Shicheng looked at Dan Kaiquan as if he was looking at a fool:

“Jiang Ning could take on eight of him, believe it or not?”

…

Jiang Ning took out a little penguin plush toy from his bag and handed it to Geng Lu:

“I got this while we were out today; it’s for you.”

“Ah!” Geng Lu took the toy, overjoyed.

At the front desk, Chen Siyu whispered mysteriously, “Have you heard? After our math teacher took leave, the school replaced him with a new math teacher.”

“I know who the new teacher is. His name is Gao Heshuai!”

Bai Yuxia frowned, “Gao Heshuai?”

That name sounded strange.

She asked, “Is he a teacher hired from outside our school?”

To improve teaching quality, the principal of Fourth Middle School personally invited a batch of competent teachers; these teachers were well-paid, reportedly earning more than ten thousand a month.

“That’s right. He now teaches the seniors, and I heard Gao Heshuai has a volatile temper and is very strict.”

“The students of Fourth Middle School call him ‘Hei Dashuai’; he and another teacher known as ‘Brother Qiang’ are referred to as the two heroes of Fourth Middle School.”

“It’s rumored that he used to show his belly during classes, which has a scar from a knife.”

“Last term, when his car was parked at school, a student spat at it. Gao Heshuai ended up kicking him twice,” Chen Siyu said fearfully.

Chen Siyu worried, “Our math classes are going to suffer now.”

“Do you think he might kick us if we don’t pay attention in class?” Chen Siyu was extremely scared.

Bai Yuxia had also heard the legends about Gao Heshuai. He was notoriously fierce at Fourth Middle School.

The Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School forum was filled with tales about Gao Heshuai, with students frequently cursing him online.

“It’s possible. I’ve heard he loves to mock students, regardless of gender.”

Eating strawberries, Xue Yuantong, listening to their conversation, said nonchalantly,

“What’s there to be afraid of?”
