311: Why can't you learn from Lin You?!

Old Zhang walked up to the three students. He initially wanted to smile, but realizing it might be inappropriate, he only half-formed the expression before reverting to his usual seriousness.

The middle-aged man’s old face held a bizarre expression.

After Lin You greeted him, he proactively asked, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"

Old Zhang usually didn't check his phone during class. Just now, after class finished, he walked out of the classroom and habitually pulled out his phone, only to be stunned by the missed calls and unread messages—

Hurry up, Old Zhang! Your three students are "beating up" Principal Wang!

"So, did you really hit Wang Ping?"

To show his stance and bias, Old Zhang didn't even call him Principal Wang anymore.

Lin You and the two others exchanged glances. Where did Old Zhang get this secondhand news?

Could it be the group of female teachers outside the Principal's Office?

They were eavesdropping outside the door, and then... they assigned one of the "pia," "pia," "pia" slapping sounds coming from inside to Wang Ping?!

Hehehe!

Lin You couldn't stop laughing when he thought of it. Li Qingbo and Sister Yin weren't slow either; they quickly came to the same conclusion, and the three of them started chuckling, "Hehehe."

???

Old Zhang was full of question marks. "I'm being serious! What are you three laughing about?!"

However, these three students were among the top five most "headache-inducing" students Old Zhang had taught in his career. Having them together was truly overwhelming.

Just as Old Zhang was about to continue asking about the situation, Lin You immediately pointed like a husky, "Teacher Zhang, you're slandering us! We didn't hit Wang Ping. The matter is resolved. Li Qingwei's family and Wang Ping have all apologized to our Sister Yin."

The heart that had been lodged in Old Zhang's throat immediately returned to his chest. He sighed in relief, his old face blooming into a chrysanthemum smile as he looked at Sister Yin. "That's good. It's good that this matter is resolved. You can now teach at the school with peace of mind."

Actually, Sister Yin calling Lin You was partly due to Old Zhang's hint.

After trying, Old Zhang realized he couldn't solve Sister Yin's problem himself. But he knew that among the students he and Sister Yin had taught, many had powerful backgrounds. If they could leverage a student's power, the matter might not be so troublesome.

The first person Old Zhang thought of at the time was Li Qingbo, who had recently graduated.

However, Old Zhang hadn't expected that after his hint, the first person Sister Yin called was Lin You. Nor did he know that the person who truly resolved the incident just now in the Principal's Office was also Lin You.

Sister Yin raised her hand and waved it. "No, Old Zhang. Whoever wants to be a teacher can be one; I'm done! I finished writing my Resignation Letter last night and handed it to Wang Ping as soon as I entered his office. So, sorry, Old Zhang, you'll have to find someone else to cover the English classes for the next few days... I don't want to spend another day with this lousy class!"

Old Zhang had already sensed this. Hearing Sister Yin's words, he slightly parted his lips, sighed, and remained silent.

"Fine, I know. You've never particularly liked being a teacher, and you're a stubborn mule, so I won't try to persuade you. But if you have any plans for the future, or feel confused or lost, you can come and ask me. Remember, I will always be your teacher."

Sister Yin gently turned her head and pouted. "What's that supposed to mean... I'm not a stubborn mule. And Old Zhang, why are you suddenly getting so sentimental..."

Old Zhang smiled. Having worked in education for over twenty years, he knew better than anyone that this profession wasn't as great as outsiders imagined. High school teachers, in particular, were not only exhausted but also under immense pressure. Besides stability, there weren't many major advantages.

Old Zhang knew Sister Yin's family background. Even if she stayed home and lived off her parents, she wouldn't starve, so he wasn't worried about her future.

However, as an elder and her former teacher, Old Zhang was willing to offer her different perspectives on life if she ever needed them.

"And you two, do you even respect me, your Class Teacher? You come back to school without telling me. When are you returning to Nandu City? Come to my house for dinner tonight; I'll ask your Teacher's Wife to buy groceries."

Sister Yin objected, "Old Zhang, why are you fighting me for them?! I already promised them that I would take them out to eat, drink, and play today. They helped me vent a huge amount of frustration!"

Old Zhang sighed. "Fine, fine, I won't fight you."

Although all three had been his students, every single one of them was disobedient.

Before leaving, Lin You suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Teacher Zhang, is Senior Apprentice Sister Leyun very busy? I haven't seen her much at school."

Old Zhang stiffened. You brat have ambiguous relationships with so many pretty girls. How dare I let my daughter interact with you?

"Cough, cough... Leyun just started grad school. It's normal for her to be busy familiarizing herself with the environment under her advisor."

..."You know Leyun?"

After getting into the car, Sister Yin asked curiously.

Zhang Leyun was four classes ahead of Lin You and the others. At that time, Sister Yin was already teaching at Ancheng No. 7 Middle School, so naturally, she knew Zhang Leyun, who was studying there then.

"Before the New Year this year, Old Zhang invited me to his house for a meal, and Senior Apprentice Sister Leyun was also home then."

Li Qingbo's eyes lit up. He turned back from the passenger seat and asked, "Is Senior Apprentice Sister Leyun pretty? I only heard that Old Zhang had a daughter, but I've never seen her."

Lin You glanced at Li Qingbo. "She's quite good-looking, much better looking than Old Zhang."

Li Qingbo clapped his hands. "That's great!"

???

Sister Yin raised her hand and slapped Li Qingbo. "What do you mean, 'great'? Don't you dare have bad intentions toward Leyun!"

Li Qingbo said, feeling wronged, "Back when Old Zhang trained me particularly harshly, I swore that I would find Old Zhang's daughter to be my girlfriend, make her fall deeply in love with me, and then dump her..."

Sister Yin raised her hand and hit Li Qingbo again. "I knew it! Can't you learn from Lin You?!"

Li Qingbo didn't feel much from the light hit, but the content of Sister Yin's words made his eyes widen.

Learn from Lin You?! Why the hell would I learn from him... Lin You coughed twice and quickly reached out to hold down Li Qingbo, trying to smooth things over. "Hey, forget about it, forget about it. Li Qingbo only thought that way in the past. How could he possibly want to take revenge on Old Zhang like that now? He's too busy being grateful to Old Zhang, right? Lunch is on me! Hotpot! Beer! Eat whatever you want!"

The feeling of being wronged lessened in Li Qingbo's heart, but he became even more certain that this son of a bitch, Lin You, definitely had designs on Sister Yin... What a beast! What a brute!

"Shouldn't I be treating?!" Sister Yin said, displeased.

"Just consider it my gift to you for saying goodbye to being a teacher and welcoming a new life."

"Well... alright~"

Li Qingbo gritted his teeth. Old Zhang invites you to eat, and Sister Yin refuses. Lin You invites you for Hotpot, and Sister Yin agrees!

You two are running toward each other!

"But I'll take you out to play this afternoon, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Li Qingbo's conscience suddenly returned, and he interjected, "Lin You stayed up all night working on study assignments. He hasn't slept all night."

Lin You shrugged. "I'm fine. If Sister Yin wants to have fun and play together, I can handle staying awake."

Hello, 110? There's a male 'Green Tea' here... Sister Yin suddenly couldn't say what she wanted to. A warm current seemed to surge through her body, continually washing over the heart in her chest, making her completely overwhelmed with emotion.

Sister Yin sat quietly in the back row, watching Lin You chatting with Li Qingbo about where to eat Hotpot, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"Why don't you... get some good sleep and come back to school this afternoon..."

Lin You was stunned. He turned his head back, looking completely confused. "Sister Yin, I'm only 19..."

Sister Yin was taken aback, then glared at him. "I'm so mad! Are you reminding me that I'm already 28?!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Then you come play with us this afternoon and tire yourself s... tire yourself out!"
