Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 240 - 208 Beat Around the Bush

However, things had not gone as they wished; not only did Huang Zhongfei step in to prevent it, but Chen Qian, a diligent student from the front row, also stood in the middle to prevent a brawl.

He greatly admired Gao Heshuai’s teaching ability and couldn’t bear to see this incident escalate.

So, Gao Heshuai was stopped halfway.

The students in the class watched Gao Heshuai and Zhang Chi trade insults.

Bai Yuxia on this side really broadened her horizons; she had never encountered such an incident in all her years of schooling.

The expressions of the classmates were both awkward and expectant.

Gao Heshuai truly was a math teacher after all, with clear logic and impressive oratory skills, not to mention a loud voice. He belittled Zhang Chi into trash, and toward the end, Zhang Chi was not his match at all.

Gao Heshuai achieved an overwhelming victory, finally venting his frustration.

Everyone watched the two insult each other for five minutes and, in the end, no fight ensued.

Having cursed to his satisfaction, Gao Heshuai finally returned to the lectern.

Huang Zhongfei finally breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, no fight broke out, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have known how to deal with it, and by then, their Class 8 might have become the laughing stock of the first year.

Wang Longlong and the others in the back row were incredibly disappointed. Why hadn’t they fought?

If a fight had occurred, just looking at Gao Heshuai’s physique, it was clear his combat strength would not be low. His manner of cursing earlier was truly terrifying; enough to make children cry.

And Zhang Chi was not inferior, as the sports committee member with good physical fitness. Just last night, he had a brawl with Qi Tianheng from Class 2. Judging by Qi Tianheng’s appearance, he definitely had some training, yet he still did not manage to beat Zhang Chi.

‘What a pity.’ Wang Longlong and Hu Jun sighed, as if they had missed out on a significant event in life.

Gao Heshuai stood on the lectern, glancing over at Zhang Chi again, his gloomy face revealing a mocking smile:

“For the sake of scolding you, I’ve wasted five minutes of this class. If I don’t teach for five minutes, every student here has wasted five minutes of their time, adding up to two hundred and fifty minutes wasted!”

“You’ve wasted the time of several classes for everyone; can you afford to compensate for everyone’s time?”

Gao Heshuai made his point with an air of moral superiority, mocking him with an ironic tone.

Wang Longlong whispered below,

“Brother Ma and I don’t mind. It would be best if you guys could fight for an entire class.”

…

Recess.

Just as class ended, when the students were about to go out to play, homeroom teacher Shan Qingrong arrived at the classroom door, and the students’ movements suddenly froze.

With his hands behind his back, Shan Qingrong slowly walked up to the lectern, his eyes turning toward the sports committee member Zhang Chi’s seat.

Seeing Zhang Chi’s bruised face, he first frowned,

“Have you gone to the school clinic?”

Zhang Chi honestly answered, “No.”

Although Shan Qingrong didn’t seem as fierce as Gao Heshuai, as the homeroom teacher, he had a special status for the students.

If talking about fear, students were more afraid of the homeroom teacher because subject teachers didn’t have the authority to call parents, while the homeroom teacher did.

“Beaten up like this and still not going to the medical office, have you no shame!” Shan Qingrong shouted.

Zhang Chi said nothing. During the fight with Qi Tianheng, he had taken several sucker punches to the face, which was now swollen and throbbing with pain and numbness. The reason he didn’t go to the school hospital for treatment was that he had no money.

“You’ve really grown some nerve, fighting is one thing, but you also dared to talk back to the math teacher. If the class monitor hadn’t held you back, would you have fought with the teacher too?”

Shan Qingrong, holding an eraser, slapped it on the lectern:

“Idiot!”

“I’ll deal with you later, first come with me to the medical office.”

Shan Qingrong led Zhang Chi out of the classroom.

Jiang Ning stood up, gently pressed against the window frame, his body leapt, and he flipped outside.

His desk mate Xue Yuantong, upon seeing this, felt envious, wishing she could do the same.

Once, Xue Yuantong took advantage of the empty classroom to secretly climb out the window, and nearly took a nasty fall.

The corridor outside Class 8 had quieted down a lot.

Usually, at the start of a break, boys from Class 9 would come over to grab a spot, chatting and laughing vivaciously, trying to catch the attention of the girls from Class 8.

However, ever since yesterday when Shen Xinli from Class 9 took a leave of absence, the hallway had not seen any Class 9 students, as though they had made an agreement.

The office was on the first floor, and Class 8 was on the second.

As he walked, Jiang Ning gently stroked his ring, and a white porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

He had promised to give Teacher Guo Ran a gift yesterday and naturally would not break his word.

He headed towards the classroom of Experimental Class 1, with the staircase next to it.

Normally during breaks, the entrance to Class 1 was exceptionally quiet, with hardly a few students stepping out. Sometimes, when students from Class 8 passed the stairs, they would take a few extra steps forward, peering into the classroom of Class 1.

The students of Class 1 were all studying.

There was a time when Yu Wen from their class came back, her tone sour:

“The students of the experimental class aren’t impressive, no better than her, it’s all because they spend more time studying that they can rank high.”

“If she had as much time to study hard, her grades would definitely be better than those of the experimental class students.”

Later, Yang Sheng told her, “You wouldn’t know how useless you are without trying.”

Mulling over these things, Jiang Ning turned a corner. Today, the hallway of Class 1 was occupied by four individuals, among them Lin Zida holding a game console, and beside him, Zhuang Jianhui.

There were also two girls, Ding Shuyan and Li Shi.

As Jiang Ning passed by, Ding Shuyan nodded slightly but did not say more.

Li Shi noticed him and suddenly called out, “Jiang Ning.”

Her voice echoed, and Lin Zida, who had been engrossed in his game, looked up upon hearing Jiang Ning’s name. Recently, he had talked quite a bit with Jiang Ning about games and was astonished by the knowledge and foresight Jiang Ning had about them.

Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks, “What’s up?”

“Ah,” Li Shi had purposely called out, but in fact, she had nothing to say; it was Shuyan’s action that had prompted her.

Li Shi reacted quickly, “I was wondering, did Qi Tianheng get into a fight with someone from your class?”

The previous night, Qi Tianheng had chatted with her and sent her a photo of his bruised and swollen face. Only then did she learn that Qi Tianheng had gotten into a fight with a student from Class 8 over Yang Sheng.

“Indeed they fought, but I’m not clear on the details. If you want to know more, I suggest asking our classmate Dan Kaiquan.”

“He’s a helpful student.”

Leaving those words behind, Jiang Ning headed down the stairs.

Watching Jiang Ning’s decisive departure, Li Shi felt snubbed. Last time they went out for yellow braised chicken, sitting across from each other at a small two-person table, Jiang Ning had ignored her entirely.

Li Shi knew she was attractive. The admiring glances she received from boys she met, even if unintentional, always pleased her.

However, from beginning to end, Jiang Ning’s expression was utterly calm when looking at her. What a unique boy he was.

Of course, that might also be due to the unique aura around Jiang Ning, along with his outstanding face.

Otherwise, if it were a regular boy doing this, Li Shi would have disregarded him long ago.
