Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our Marriage

Chapter 7 - Elated

Ke CaiZhu received news from Huo YeRui that the top students who were friends with Lin Qian and the delinquents headed by Zheng PingQing were going to fight in the abandoned teaching building.

After seeing the events that transpired during the assembly, Ke CaiZhu didn’t really believe that Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing were at odds with each other. But persuaded by Huo YeRui’s words and the reliable sounding evidence that was Dong MingEn’s colorful vocabulary, she couldn’t resist.

Ke CaiZhu thought in her heart: Ah, it turns out these two groups that looked so harmonious in front of everyone was actually a mess behind closed doors.

She had lost face earlier this morning at the assembly and wanted to re-establish her prestige. She specifically ordered the homeroom teachers of Class 1 and Class 8 to go with her and catch the violators to be disciplined. If she caught the students in the act, she could rub it in these two teacher’s faces, and if it were a false alarm, these teachers who were below her wouldn’t be able to say anything.

Her plan seemed perfect, but she didn’t expect the timid Class 8 homeroom teacher Bai YanZhu to suddenly go crazy, angrily accusing her of smearing the names of his students and start spouting nonsense like they were good, hardworking children and so on.

Ke CaiZhu thought that Bai YanZhu only said those things because he was under heavy pressure to produce results. Good, hardworking children? Is that really a phrase that can be used to describe the students of Class 8?

Ke CaiZhu wanted to use her headteacher authority to suppress Bai YanZhu. She wanted Bai YanZhu, who had a tendency to make trouble, to be under her mercy.

Ke CaiZhu couldn’t help but resent Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing a little more. If they hadn’t made such a mess of things, how could she have lost face? Now even the timid Bai YanZhu dared to stand up to her.

But while she wanted to grab Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing in a chokehold, Bai YanZhu was unexpectedly strong this time, actually informing the Principal and asking him to go with them to prove Class 8’s innocence.

As soon as the Principal became involved, the situation became out of Ke CaiZhu’s control.

She became nervous; Ke CaiZhu didn’t expect Bai YanZhu, who had never stood up to her before, to be so firm.

But her nervousness quickly proved to be unnecessary.

Just as Ke CaiZhu and the others were about to arrive at the abandoned building, someone suddenly sprang out of the side to block them.

Ke CaiZhu didn’t know who this person was, but Bai YanZhu suddenly exclaimed: “Student Gou, what are you doing here?”

The person turned out to be a Class 8 student.

Gou XinDou made a ‘haha’ sound and smiled, saying: “How come I ran into so many teachers here?”

Ke CaiZhu was very unhappy with the appearance of this sloppy student and immediately started scolding.

Who knew that this student Gou would be so thick-skinned, not feeling the least bit itchy after such a hard scolding.

However, Ke CaiZhu was someone who had many years of experience in battling against bad students. With a sudden flash of insight, she quickly understood what this student was trying to do.

“Principal, he’s trying to delay us.” Ke CaiZhu said, “He must be one of the black sheep who was supposed to keep a lookout. We have to hurry before they run away.”

Student Gou’s face quickly changed, confirming her speculation.

Even Bai YanZhu caught on, asking incredulously: “You tell the truth, are you actually doing this?”

Gou XinDou shook his head and continued his lax attitude: “I don’t know what you’re talking about; I’m just taking a walk.”

Ke CaiZhu wasn’t fooled and coldly snorted: “Don’t waste time trying to get anything out of him. We have to go and catch them right now.”

If she had been hesitating before, now she was full of pride and confidence.

How could this student Gou deceive her with his poor acting skills? Finding people to act as a lookout was routine in student brawls.

When she looked at Bai YanZhu, his original fighting spirit had now obviously wilted, and his eyes showed shock and anger.

Ke CaiZhu waved her hand and raised her head: “Follow me.”

She was hell-bent on giving these bad students a nasty surprise and without even knocking on the door, directly forced the crumbling Bai YanZhu to kick the old door.

When the door collapsed, she took the lead and rushed inside with her head held high, expecting the students inside to wear faces full of horror and begging for mercy…

Unexpectedly, reality gave her a heavy blow.

What is this scene before her? Where were the Punches and kicks, the bruised noses and swollen faces, heck she’d be happy with just curses flying around!

Her sleeves were already rolled up, and these bad students show her this?

Where’s your integrity and temperament of a hooligan?

Ke CaiZhu choked on a mouthful of blood, words stuck in the middle of her throat.

As she stood there stunned, Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing quickly exchanged looks. They both saw each other’s meaningful gazes.

They didn’t expect the teachers to still appear as scheduled.

But the scene in front of them was completely different this time.

Lin Qian held back his laughter and pretended to look surprised: “Principal, teachers, how come you’re here?”

Ke CaiZhu tried to keep her expression neutral as his words stabbed her. Feeling angry and sullen, she asked: “I also want to ask, what are you doing here acting all sneaky?”

After she said this, she felt a little calmer. Yes, this group wasn’t fighting, but the fact that they gathered here in this remote ghost-infested place inferred that they were certainly up to no good.

She tried to make herself seem a little more fierce and tried to frighten Lin Qian into confessing: “Say, you aren’t doing something shady here, are you?”

Zheng PingQing made a startled expression: “How can studying be considered doing shady business?”

“Studying?” Ke CaiZhu sneered, these students really don’t know how to lie properly, don’t they know that this is Class 8 they were talking about? Besides, if they really wanted to study, why bother hiding in such a remote place?

Ke CaiZhu was finally calm. Although these students hadn’t traded any blows, they obviously must be doing something bad. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so shocked by the sudden emergence of a teacher, so much so that the lies they spouted were so pathetically funny.

As long as she figured out why they wanted to hide, her trip here wasn’t a mistake.

Ke CaiZhu straightened and stepped forward: “Do you think us teachers are fools? How come I didn’t know you students were so eager to learn? That you had to come all the way here specially, just to study?”

Bai YanZhu and Hong KeYi were also very confused. The two groups were their students, so they understood their personalities quite well. Although their students weren’t bad, this situation was obviously not in line with their usual temperaments.

Were they really hiding something?

Hong KeYi couldn’t help but say: “Lin Qian, tell the truth, teacher believes in you.”

Lin Qian didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry: “Teacher, we are telling the truth; you have to believe, ah.”

Hong KeYi became embarrassed for a moment.

By now Dong MingEn and Xu You would have to really be mentally handicapped if they still couldn’t understand the situation.

Dong MingEn immediately stepped forward: “Principal, teachers, we asked the top students for help with remedial lessons.”

Xu Yao also waved the textbook in his hands: “We were figuring out some topics and key points to focus on. Coming in so loudly almost made me cross out the wrong sentence, ah.”

“Choosing topics?” Ke CaiZhu felt that she just heard the funniest joke of the year. She forcefully grabbed Xu Yao’s book and shook it a few times: “I’d like to see what topics you’ve chosen.”

As she shook the book, a piece of paper fell out of the textbook and floated to the ground.

When Lin Qian saw this, his expression grew tense, and he quickly rushed to pick it up.

If people saw this brainless and moronic looking agreement, the reputation of this generation’s two powerhouses would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

His nervousness was immediately seen by Ke CaiZhu. She instinctively felt that this was the evidence she was looking for and quickly reached out to grab the page: “What’s this? Show me.”

“You can’t,” Zheng PingQing subconsciously reacted.

If other people found out just how low his younger brother’s cultural level is, how can he continue to be a boss in the future?

Zheng PingQing’s shout made Ke CaiZhu even more sure that she was right.

Her heart stayed calm as she sneered: “Why can’t I see, is it something shady after all?”

Lin Qian: “….”

Zheng PingQing: “….”

Alas, it really was something pretty shameful.

Seeing the frowns of the two students, even the Principal and the teacher’s faces changed.

These students might really be hiding something.

“Isn’t that just a list of topics? I haven’t heard of any class topics a teacher couldn’t read…” Ke CaiZhu sneered and forcefully grabbed the paper from Lin Qian’s hands, “Let me see these so-called topics that you’re trying so hard to hide…”

Looking at Lin Qian’s helpless appearance, Ke CaiZhu proudly began to read the contents aloud: “Pact: From today henceforth, Lin Qian, Xu Yao, Jiang TingJun, Fu Yifei, Pan Qibo, etc. would tutor and offer remedial classes for Zheng PingQing, Dong MingEn, Zhou Daota, Lou XingGuang, etc. ….”

After reading half of the contents, Ke CaiZhu couldn’t go on.

What the hell is this?

The Principal and the two other teachers also couldn’t help but look at each other, brows raised, wondering if they had heard wrong.

“Let me see.” Seeing that Ke CaiZhu wasn’t continuing to read, the Principal took the paper from her hand and read the rest of what was written: “…to be scheduled for one hour after school every day. The top students are also required to accept any questions or inquiries regarding their studies at any time.”

Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing sighed in unison, afraid that they would be now humiliated by the entire grade.

After reading the agreement, the Principal looked at the bottom of the page and said, “Hey, everyone’s signature is here.”

Zheng PingQing forced himself to reply: “We really wanted to study seriously.”

Lin Qian nodded and placed a hand on his chest: “There’s only one thing in our hearts, and that’s to seriously learn.”

Everyone: “….”

The two tacit partners looked at each other, making everyone stunned.

After seeing this, to say that these two students were at odds with each other, the Principal would be the first to disagree.

“They’re all good kids.” The Principal sighed and looked at them with a smile. “Who wrote this?”

Dong MingEn weakly raised his hand.

The Principal patted him on the shoulder: “Young student, there are a lot of typos, ah.”

Dong MingEn didn’t consider keeping quiet and directly complained: “Their names are too difficult to write.”

Xu Yao and friends: “….” How can he feel no shame?

The Principal was also surprised at his cheek and didn’t know how to answer. With an awkward cough, he changed the subject: “Trying to do remedial classes is good.”

Since things have become like this, there was no need to debate about who was right.

Principal Su Rong looked at Ke CaiZhu and said: “Headteacher Ke CaiZhu, how about you explain things to us?”

A few moments ago, Ke CaiZhu had been so aggressive, but now she had been put in such an embarrassing situation. Swallowing down a mouthful of blood, she started to say: “Maybe, maybe I made a mistake…”

“That’s all?” Bai YanZhu raised his face, “Headteacher Ke, I ask you to apologize to the students.”

His rare tough attitude affected Hong KeYi, who couldn’t help but nod: “Right.”

Ke CaiZhu looked up; she couldn’t believe that these two people dared to speak to her in this tone. What’s more, even the Principal was helping them: “Yes, you should apologize.”

Ke CaiZhu’s lips trembled. She had always been someone on top of these teachers, why is it that they were the ones commanding her now?

But the Principal wasn’t finished: “Not just the students, but you should also apologize to Mr. Bai and Mr. Hong.”

Ke CaiZhu felt faint. She had been a teacher in No. 12 High School for many years now, but this was the first time she had suffered such a shameful blow.

But no matter how much she was unwilling, she couldn’t resist the Principal’s power. In the end, she could only reluctantly apologize one by one to those she never even gave a single glance before.

Dong MingEn and friends: Highest Achievement Unlocked: Received Teacher Ke’s Apology. So happy, we can boast about this even after graduation, so beautiful, beautiful.

Bai YanZhu: Helping my students receive justice, so beautiful, beautiful.

The Hong KeYi who had been buying soy sauce the whole time: Freeloading and receiving an apology from Ke CaiZhu, so beautiful, beautiful.

Is this considered a face-slapping moment when it was the villain slapping her own face?
