Guo Ran asked, "Gao Heshuai, are you willing to be a mediocre teacher?"

Gao Heshuai: "..."

He initially wanted to retort, ’I am the gardener of the motherland,’ but he really couldn’t say it in front of his colleagues!

...

Classroom of Class 8.

Xue Yuantong woke up and found that someone was missing beside her. She was annoyed, "Where’s Jiang Ning?"

Chen Siyu calculated with her fingers, "Guo called him away."

Xue Yuantong: "Hmph, sneaking off again."

Chen Siyu: "Don’t be angry, Mr. Guo isn’t a bad person; he often gives us snacks, you know."

Tongtong still wasn’t happy with Jiang Ning’s unannounced departure.

Chen Siyu said, "Alright, alright, think of it this way. Actually, the other woman is a good person; she just took away someone who doesn’t love you."

Xue Yuantong frowned, something was wrong!

She argued, "Jiang Ning is very good to me!"

Chen Siyu switched her thinking, "Then the yellow-haired girl is also a good person because she satisfies someone who loves you!"

’Oh no, I misspoke, Tongtong is still a kid!’ Chen Siyu quickly nudged Bai Yuxia: ’Hey, aren’t you eavesdropping?’

Bai Yuxia, who had something on Chen Siyu, ended her stealth mode and spoke up, "Tongtong, Siyu said she always wanted to watch you play games."

Xue Yuantong was happy, "Siyu, come over to my side."

Chen Siyu immediately changed seats.

Wang Longlong opened one eye and closed the other.

Xue Yuantong picked up her phone and opened a shooting game. It was Modern Combat 4 by Gameloft.

Xue Yuantong began maneuvering her character to log in and fight on the beach. Chen Siyu was sort of a gaming enthusiast, moreover, she had studied history!

She said, "Looks a bit like the Normandy Landing."

Xue Yuantong’s eyes were surprised; even the silly twins knew this?

Chen Siyu was offended. If the silly Fool could become a sports student, why couldn’t she grasp some knowledge?

Chen Siyu said, "The Normandy Landing was the starting point of the Allies’ counteroffensive!"

She also talked about some classic battles to prove her knowledge.

Xue Yuantong: "Then do you know, why was the Second World War more brutal than the First World War?"

Chen Siyu immediately replied, "Because Japan and Germany were fiercer!"

Bai Yuxia: "..."

...

As class was about to end.

Zhong Huai, sweaty and tired after carrying goods for half a day, returned, and Wang Longlong hosted a hero’s farewell ceremony for him.

Exhausted Zhong Huai finally received some spiritual comfort: ’At least everyone knows the contribution I made!’

He sat in his seat, feeling glorious!

At the back desk, Zhang Chi and Liu Chuandao exchanged glances, and Liu Chuandao invited, "Bro, how about barbecue tonight? Let’s welcome your new classmates!"

Zhong Huai turned around, eyes shining with excitement, "Ok, ok!"

Liu Chuandao: "Haha, hope you can invite other girls as well."

Zhong Huai was quite capable of organizing.

Zhong Huai readily agreed, "No problem, no problem!"

He first invited Han Wen Nuan, and as soon as the bell rang for the end of evening study, he ran to the south side of the classroom to invite Zhang Zhaodi and others.

Lu Qiqi was chatting with Zhang Zhaodi, scrolling through her QQ space.

Lu Qiqi praised, "Zhang Zhang, you have a great sense of style; this dress is really nice, and it gives you a celebrity vibe."

Zhang Zhaodi was in a great mood after hearing it. She was indeed most satisfied with this photo, and didn’t expect Lu Qiqi would notice it at a glance.

Moreover, she never called herself Zhaodi, but instead Zhang Zhang, which made her genuinely grateful, increasing her fondness for Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi continued, "But, looking at your week-apart statuses, you have new clothes, but your boyfriend still wears the same shoes when meeting you for two consecutive weeks? It feels like he doesn’t prioritize you enough."

"I’d suggest you stay away." Lu Qiqi persuaded.

Xiao Shaoxiong wasn’t happy and argued, "What’s wrong if my bro likes that outfit? It’s not like it hasn’t been washed. We guys aren’t like you girls."

Lu Qiqi covered her mouth, unfazed by this young kid, "You wouldn’t be one of those guys who wears the same outfit on every date, would you?"

Xiao Shaoxiong: "What if I love wearing it?"

Ma Shicheng passed by carrying a broom, glanced at Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi: "What are you looking at?"

Ma Shicheng: "Look at what you’re saying, every time you go home and see the same dad, does that mean your mom..."

Forget it, Ma Shicheng ultimately matured a lot and didn’t finish his sentence.

Lu Qiqi’s face showed displeasure.

Hu Jun came running with a broom, "I won’t let you talk about her mom!"

Lu Qiqi, hearing the father-related tone, felt her temper rise, shouted, "What do you mean, Hu Jun?"

Hu Jun: "What’s my meaning, isn’t it clear to you yet?"

Guo Kunnan pulled them aside, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry!"

Lu Qiqi walked away in anger.

In the corner, Guo Kunnan was puzzled, "Brother Jun, there’s something, should I say it or not... the age gap really should be..."

Hu Jun seriously said, "They’re not old, they’ve just walked more years on behalf of me. I just missed their youth, and now I want to spend my youth with them."

Ma Shicheng: "Damn, bro, you don’t want to take a single wrong step!"

In the outside corridor, Meng Gui played with the Buddha Beads and said to Yu Wen, "Did that person apologize to you, returned the 18 yuan, right?"

Yu Wen praised, "Meng Gui, you truly are amazing!"

Jiang Yanan’s gaze towards him carried a hint of surprise as well.

Meng Gui smiled, "Please call me Master."

"Master!" Yu Wen gave due respect, after all, the other party solved a vexing issue for her.

Meng Gui extended an invitation to Jiang Yanan, "Would you like to have dinner with my brother Cui Yu?"

Even though he had moved on, he never forgot that Jiang Yanan was once his true love.

Jiang Yanan shook her head, "Too late."

Meng Gui: "How about breakfast with Cui Yu tomorrow?"

Jiang Yanan: "..."

Chen Siyu met her sister at the entrance of Class 8. The twins hated anything related to masters because they had recently exposed a fake one.

Chen Siyu said, "Meng Gui, since you’re a master, can you do a divination for me?"

Meng Gui: "Sure."

Chen Siyu: "April 31, 1999."

Meng Gui fiddled with the Buddha beads, gazing at the deep night sky, "Beware of the people around you."

Her sister Chen Siqing said, "What to beware of? There is no April 31!"

At this, Jiang Yanan and the others all changed their expressions.

Meng Gui didn’t panic at all, his tone eerie, "Sometimes, those around us may not be people."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The twins exchanged a glance and suddenly felt like the night was terrifyingly monstrous.

...

Outside the school gate, at Sister Ma’s Barbecue.

A group of teenage boys and girls were seated at the open-air tables and chairs.

Zhang Chi and Liu Chuandao were responsible for ordering, Duan Shigang and Zhong Huai were bragging, Han Wen Nuan was eating beans, Zhang Zhaodi and Xiao Shaoxiong, along with another female student, were chatting, and the girl with glasses, Jianxi, was restless.

"Brother Zhong, do you want to add anything else?"

Zhong Huai didn’t even look at the menu, "No worries, if it’s not enough, we’ll add more."

Noticing the girls present, he suggested first, "It’s rare for us to gather, so I propose that the guys pay, the girls eat free, how about that?"

Zhang Chi, Liu Chuandao, and Duan Shigang all agreed enthusiastically, "Good, good, good, you’re so generous!"

"Brother Zhong is indeed magnanimous!"

"Guys pay, girls free, good, good, good!"

Xiao Shaoxiong was a bit unwilling since there were four girls present, which could share some cost. But since the other guys agreed, if he disagreed, wouldn’t it make him look bad?

Besides, he loved showing off.

Xiao Shaoxiong, suppressing his heart pain, smiled and said, "It’s just a little barbecue, we can handle it!"

Zhong Huai decided, "Then it’s settled!"

Xiao Shaoxiong, being one of the payers, felt more confident, "It’s a pity Yin Yu didn’t come; she’s also a new classmate."

He regretted that Yin Yu, who was very pretty, even more so than Zhang Zhaodi, could compare to another girl in the class, but he didn’t know her name.

Zhang Zhaodi said, "She transferred from An City."

Zhong Huai was surprised, "How did you know?"

"You don’t know?" Zhang Zhaodi suddenly remembered he was being a hero during night self-study...

Zhong Huai also realized the oversight and didn’t care.

He was a hero to earn impressions, and now the gathering was to build connections. He scanned Zhang Chi and the others. After this meal, their relationship would undoubtedly upgrade!
