"Jiang Cheng, co to the office after school."
The old lady had made up her mind.
Comparing reserve with missing out on a language genius, it’s insignificant.
"Okay, teacher."
Jiang Cheng stepped forward to help the old lady down from the podium.
"Take it slow."
She had long noticed that the old lady’s legs were not in good shape. The support made the old lady feel a bit awkward yet sowhat pleased.
She was pleased with Jiang Cheng’s attentiveness and glad for Jiang Cheng’s carefulness.
No matter which aspect you look at, this child is material for a good translator.
"Don’t forget after school."
Feeling cherishing and unable to hold back, the old lady reminded, and Jiang Cheng imdiately smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll go right after school."
The old lady left the classroom satisfied and happened to et Teacher Hu, who was coming for the next politics class.
Teacher Hu stepped back and checked the class sign.
Didn’t go to the wrong place?
He looked at his watch.
The ti was right too.
Strange, since when did Lü Dadao stay after class?
Teacher Hu was a small old man in his fifties, and his short goatee trembled with his smile.
"Teacher Lü just left."
The old lady, too, Teacher Lü gave a cold "Hmm" with a slight tilt of the head.
"Oh oh oh—please, go ahead."
Teacher Hu imdiately made way, letting Teacher Lü go first, and couldn’t resist urging: "Take it slow."
Teacher Lü left coldly, without responding.
Teacher Hu didn’t mind.
"Ring ring ring—"
The class bell rang, and Teacher Hu went to the podium and glanced at Jiang Cheng.
"This student’s position is like a strategic point, capable of attack and defense, not bad, not bad."
Beside the lectern, Jiang Cheng imdiately stood up, quickly climbing up the pole.
"Thank you for your praise and affirmation, teacher. My na is Jiang Cheng."
Teacher Hu’s goatee quivered; did he complint?
"Alright, alright, sit down."
Teacher Hu didn’t care where Jiang Cheng sat, it was just his character joking around, standing on the podium and pulling out the quotations for everyone to learn.
In these tis, everyone could recite the quotations.
Politics class was also the most active course for students, their admiration for the instructor pure and sincere.
After a passionate politics class ended, many subconsciously cast their eyes on Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng took the lead, using geographic advantages, darting out of the classroom first and running downstairs towards the school gate.
"Grandma Shen, the teacher asked to go to the office, wait for for a while!"
"Okay! No rush."
Upon hearing Grandma Shen’s reply, Jiang Cheng turned and ran towards the office.
Grandma Shen at the gate stood up with so concern, Shen Xing’s little face was stern.
In everyone’s fixed impression, being called to the teacher’s office was not a good sign.
Gatekeeper Uncle Wang thought for a mont and said, "No worries, Jiang Cheng isn’t a troublemaker."
Grandma Shen: Not causing trouble is true... but she isn’t afraid of trouble either!
The only one who discovered Jiang Cheng’s essence, Grandma Shen, felt a lonely chill from high above.
At the gate, Lin Chengyuan, who ca to pick up He Dan, had a knowing glint flash in his eyes and a slightly mocking smile.
Just the third day at night school and already criticized by the teacher, truly a ss that couldn’t be helped.
"Chengyuan."
He Dan ca out.
Lin Chengyuan stepped forward two steps, a handso couple, many night school classmates looked at them with envy.
"Her man cos to pick up every day."
"Heard he’s working at the machinery factory."
"You said, how co He Dan has such good fortune."
The voices were not low, Lin Chengyuan and He Dan heard them clearly.
Lin Chengyuan’s back was straight, he deeply enjoyed the praises within, He Dan also regained confidence after the blow from Jiang Cheng.
No matter how capable Jiang Cheng was, Lin Chengyuan was hers.
"What mistake did Jiang Cheng make?"
Lin Chengyuan’s question surprised He Dan.
"What?"
"She was shouting about being called to the teacher’s office, truly a deadwood."
"You’re the deadwood!"
Shen Xing stood out coldly, glaring at Lin Chengyuan who deliberately spoke louder, "Talking behind soone’s back isn’t what a real man does!"
"Right!"
Shen Yue’s cultural limitation didn’t stop her standing beside her brother and Sister Jiang Cheng.
Lin Chengyuan was embarrassed by the two kids, coupled with Shen Xing and Jiang Cheng’s earlier sarcastic remarks, he imdiately assud a righteous tone and said:
"If Jiang Cheng was good, would she be called to the office? She hasn’t even graduated elentary, what can she understand in class? She’s just putting on a big show!"
"She’s only fooling you kids, I advise you to stay away from her."
He Dan quickly tugged Lin Chengyuan, but he didn’t grasp He Dan’s intention.
Grandma Shen didn’t follow Lin Chengyuan’s logic, she scoffed and stood in front of the two children.
"Although I’m old, my eyesight isn’t blind yet! A grown man with a heart smaller than a needle’s eye, thinking about petty chatter every day, what a waste! Our children are not for you to lecture!"
"Exactly! If you’ve got guts, wait for my older brother to co back and say it again in front of him!"
Shen Xing, emboldened by his brother, stood with a strong air.
"No need to wait for big brother, wait till Sister Jiang Cheng cos out!"
Shen Yue, bold with her sister, held Jiang Cheng’s position high in her little heart, above even the seldom-seen elder brother Shen Que.
Lin Chengyuan, recalling Shen Xing’s words, rembered Shen Que’s fist size and past beatings, instinctively nervous from muscle mory.
The atmosphere beca a bit awkwardly silent.
"What is this comrade talking about? Jiang Cheng wasn’t called to the office for mistakes but because she perford excellently!"
Jian Yueer, acquaintances with Jiang Cheng for two days between classes, stood up.
"Impossible!"
Lin Chengyuan reflexively refuted.
Jian Yueer pouted, "What’s impossible? You’re really sothing, you weren’t with us in class, and your sweetheart He Dan knows too."
Jian Yueer’s glance at He Dan was a bit peculiar, she said no more, pulling her friends away.
Earlier, those envious of He Dan and Lin Chengyuan, now looked at them with curious gazes.
"Did you notice, He Dan seed a bit targeted at Jiang Cheng?"
"Right! I noticed too, always saying so ambiguous things."
"Exactly, just a few days in class, everyone’s aware her man is in the machinery factory."
Though the discussions were soft, Lin Chengyuan’s face turned a degree darker.
He looked at He Dan, who nodded with a poor complexion.
Lin Chengyuan still unwilling to believe, how could it be?
Feeling humiliated, he directly shook off He Dan’s hand.
"Why didn’t you tell earlier!"
"I pulled you."
He Dan lowered her head in so grievance.
Lin Chengyuan gnashed his teeth, not wanting to create a scene at the school gate.
"Let’s go ho."
In the dark, He Dan chased after the brisk Lin Chengyuan.
Affectionate?
Forget it, it’s just so-so.
Night school students dispersed in small groups, most discussing Jiang Cheng’s feats today.
Finally, Grandma Shen and the others were at ease and continued chatting.
On the other side, the focus of discussion, Jiang Cheng stood slightly surprised before Teacher Lü.
"You said you wanted to move in and live with you?"
Teacher Lü nodded, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"What, I don’t charge you, and you’re unwilling?"
After speaking, Teacher Lü stared at Jiang Cheng, as if she dared to refuse, she would do sothing.
"Teacher Lü, it’s not unwillingness, it’s reluctance."
