25: Chapter 25 Teacher’s Partiality 25: Chapter 25 Teacher’s Partiality Su Ran looked at the irritated Lin Yuqing and laughed, saying to her, “Come on, it’s not like I’m the one who knocked you over, why glower at me like that?” “You know why I’m upset! You, blockhead, why did you agree to play in the football match? With your physique, if something were to happen to you, how would I…” Lin Yuqing stopped as she realized she had misspoken. Looking embarrassed, she hastily waved her hands and anxiously added, “What I meant was, if something were to happen to you, it would affect our class’s overall academic performance drastically!” Su Ran chuckled at Lin Yuqing. He felt touched by her concern. He gently told her, “Although my health isn’t great, I have this.” Su Ran pointed at his own head, laughing, “It isn’t so stiff yet that I can’t use it. I already have a plan.” Lin Yuqing’s eyes lit up, she grabbed Su Ran’s arm and eagerly said, “Tell me, tell me!” “I have my own brilliant plan!” “Hmph!” Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The class bell rang. Teacher Li marched in briskly, carrying a folder. “Class—” Just as Teacher Li began to speak, he was interrupted. “Excuse me, Teacher!” The one who disrupted Teacher Li was none other than Su Ran’s desk mate, Lin Yuqing. Lin Yuqing stood up angrily, “Teacher Li, we need you to come and sort this out!” She exclaimed. As she glanced towards the side, she saw a classmate signaling desperately to her. She snorted and continued, “Just now, Hou Ping and Zhang Meng asked Su Ran to participate in a football match during lunchtime.” “Nonsense!” Teacher Li slammed his folder onto the podium, “Hou Ping, Zhang Meng, stand up!” Hou Ping lowered his head and nervously stood up. In contrast, Zhang Meng stood up slowly as if nothing mattered. “Yes?” Zhang Meng was unbothered and casually asked, “Teacher Li, may I ask for your guidance?” Teacher Li stared at these two problem students for quite a while. He kicked the podium heavily and yelled, “Both of you, recite the text ‘The Lament.’ Whoever finishes first may sit down. If you fail to do so, leave!” The classroom was deathly silent. The students feared that they would be the next ones to be scolded. ‘The Lament’ was a unique text that gave most of them headaches. Especially when they heard the phrase “recite the whole text,” it was the ultimate challenge. Hou Ping was sweating profusely, and he lowered his head without saying anything, hoping that Zhang Meng would step in for him. “‘The Lament’ was taught so long ago, who would remember it!” Zhang Meng’s follower could not stand seeing Zhang Meng embarrassed, and complained to Teacher Li for him. “Xu Tao, very good,” said Teacher Li sneering, he pushed his slipping glasses up and calmly said to his favorite student, “Su Ran, stand up and recite ‘The Lament’.” Su Ran let out a bitter laugh, stood up, paused for a moment, and began to recite. When the whole class heard Su Ran smoothly recite ‘The Lament’ without missing a single word, they broke into applause spontaneously. Knowledge was Su Ran’s domain. Whenever it came to studies, Su Ran would unconsciously radiate an aura that made teachers adore him and classmates admire or even envy him. Although Su Ran was not willing, he did get a kick out of being role model to his classmates. “Well done, Su Ran, please sit down,” Teacher Li’s face bloomed like a flower as he said this. However, his expression became icy as soon as Su Ran sat down, and he turned to an agitator named Xu Tao. By this time, Xu Tao’s face was flushed red, and he was bending over his desk. “I can’t do it, what can you do about it?” Zhang Meng interjected, sitting down and crossing his legs, he leisurely said to Teacher Li, “Don’t forget, my uncle is the dean of this school!” “Wow! That’s why Zhang Meng is so arrogant. His uncle is the dean!” The students underneath began to chitter-chatter. Veins were popping out on Teacher Li’s forehead, and he repeatedly clenched his fists. Then, he turned to Hou Ping, who was trembling in fear. “Teacher, I’ll go stand in the hall as punishment,” Hou Ping couldn’t stand Teacher Li’s intense gaze any longer and promptly made a run for it. “Sir, I’ll also go out and accept the punishment,” said Xu Tao awkwardly. Before Teacher Li could direct his anger at him, he quickly followed in Hou Ping’s footsteps and left the classroom. “Football match?” Teacher Li suddenly let out a laugh, nodded at Su Ran, turned around, and began the day’s lecture. WHAT ARE YOU doing? The students were left wide-eyed and confused. Only Su Ran chuckled and shook his head. “Hey, what does Teacher Li mean by that? I hate mysteries!” Lin Yuqing whispered her confusion to her desk mate, Su Ran. “You’ll know at lunch,” Su Ran didn’t want to elaborate and started to focus on the lecture. “You’re so annoying, I’m not talking to you anymore!” Lin Yuqing pouted and started to idly fiddle with her pen cap. Before she knew it, class was over. Unexpectedly, Teacher Li didn’t overstay his time and hurriedly left. Su Ran stood up and slowly walked towards Teacher Li’s office. As soon as Su Ran left the classroom, Lin Yuqing turned back and gave Han Siying a smile, “Siying, could I borrow your phone?” Han Siying hesitated for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Then she took out her phone and handed it to Lin Yuqing, who was smiling. “Thank you, Siying! I’ll return it to you in a bit!” Lin Yuqing tossed back her ponytail and ran out of the classroom. Liu Yina nudged Han Siying, “Hey, goddess, this isn’t like you to lend your phone out so easily. In the past, you never lent your phone to anyone, not even me. It’s just not like you.” “…” “You seem different these days, Han. You seem to be brooding a lot more than usual.” Liu Yina cocked her head, a question mark practically written on her face as Han Siying didn’t respond. “…” “Hey, hey, did you hear me or not?” Liu Yina was defeated and she shook Han Siying’s arm. “What?” Han Siying was confused and asked. “Ugh, I was asking why did you lend your phone out a second…” “Mind your own business.” … Lin Yuqing returned to the classroom with a song on her lips. She went straight to her desk, handed the phone back to Han Siying saying, “Thank you, Siying!” Han Siying nodded, she put it into her desk drawer after wiping it unnoticed with a tissue, and then put it in her pocket. It wasn’t long before Su Ran walked slowly back into the classroom. Although his pace was slow, he looked composed. However, he suddenly realized something was off. He looked up and immediately understood. As the main character of the incident, the whole class quieted down and turned their attention to him.
