CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 159: AN UNEXPECTED PERSON

Today, at the first watch, Nu’an went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup in the morning. The result was that she still has to take medication for a while, which put her in a particularly bad mood, directly affecting her writing concentration. Guys, please forgive me; I will adjust as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------

Yu Qing awkwardly smoothed her bangs, "Luo Ye, it’s true that the parent representatives for the other classes were determined a while ago. For our class, that... it’s because I forgot to tell you..."

After a year’s acquaintance, Luo Ye had come to understand Yu Qing’s personality and interrupted her with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I get it. I will call my mom right now. I can’t decide on behalf of my mom, so please wait a moment."

"Okay!" Yu Qing nodded her head, grateful.

"Can’t get through." Luo Ye stopped trying, looking apologetically at Yu Qing. Wen Xin’s phone indicated "Temporarily unavailable," and no one was answering the home phone either—Grandpa probably went to Uncle Song’s or the master’s place.

"Is that so, I’ll discuss it with some other students then."

Luo Ye could tell that Yu Qing’s voice became lighter all of a sudden. She sighed internally. With her personality, Yu Qing could only be the most hard-working teacher for life. Well, to each their own. Since it’s like this, she wouldn’t worry about it anymore. "Mr. Yu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back."

Yu Qing smiled and nodded: "Alright, you can go. And have Wang Peirong come to the office to see me."

...

Xing Nong and Pan Fang were standing at the entrance of Class 2, and when they saw Luo Ye from afar, they approached him: "Luoluo, what did Mr. Yu want with you?"

"Nothing much, just praising me for doing well on my exams and asking me to pass the message for Wang Peirong to go to the office to see her." Luo Ye looked at Pan Fang: "Please!"

"Sure thing, I’ll get to it!" Pan Fang darted back to the classroom like a gust of wind.

Xing Nong nudged Luo Ye: "Surely it’s not that simple, right? The loudspeaker isn’t here, tell me the truth."

"Mr. Yu forgot to appoint a parent representative, so she was drafting someone on the fly. Turns out no one’s answering at my house, and my mom’s cellphone is also unreachable, so she had to find another solution."

Xing Nong’s eyes whirled around: "Got it. Mr. Yu’s being a snob. It’s nine times out of ten because the principal told her about your family background, and she’s worried that others will say she’s climbing up by using your background, so she openly disobeys the principal’s orders."

"That’s probably it. I appreciate her fairness towards students, but I dislike this excessive pride, even knowing she would be scolded by the principal, I can’t be bothered to help her." Luo Ye glanced sideways at Xing Nong: "You want to scold me, don’t you?"

Xing Nong slapped Luo Ye in frustration: "Do you think I judge without reason? At her age, she should be learning a lesson. There’s someone I hope you’d help, though."

"Who?" Luo Ye pondered for a moment: "I see, you’re talking about the PE teacher, Ma Kang, right?"

"That’s right. He was clearly framed by Tian Furong, but none of the teachers like him, like how he insisted on letting the seniors participate in the cross-country race last winter despite all the teachers’ objections. So when he got into trouble, no one spoke up for him. According to Pan Fang’s latest gossip, Ma Kang might even be fired, and you know how much he loves sports; if he loses his job, how could he stand it?"

Luo Ye furrowed his brow: "Is it that serious?"

"That’s what Pan Fang just told me. She lives next to Ma Kang, right? She said that he is now holed up at home and doesn’t come out. His mother and father are very worried."

Luo Ye thought for a moment: "Let’s go see him after the graduation ceremony. This guy is too wimpy, just because no one will testify for him, and he’s suspended, he’s too ashamed to face anyone?"

"Luoluo, think about it: if he wasn’t like this, would he have given up a high-ranking official girlfriend from Beijing? Would he have given up a government job in Island City to come to the school and be this frustrated PE teacher? Forgive him, this kind of person lives for one goal in their life. He’s not like Mr. Yu; we need to protect these rare creatures."

Luo Ye rolled his eyes: "What you’re saying is completely different from what I said."

"It’s the same thing. It’s because he’s simple and upright that he feels too ashamed to face people, he’s argued and fought, but no one believes him. How can he bear such humiliation?"

Luo Ye, pushing Xing Nong forward: "Alright, alright, I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. If I didn’t know you better, I’d think you fancied Mr. Ma. We’ll see how it goes later. Let’s go back to the classroom and say goodbye to everyone, we’re really going to part ways this time."

...

Yu Qing was extremely frustrated; she had indeed, out of her snobbery, not informed Luo Ye about the parent representative matter. She had thought that substituting Wang Peirong at the last minute would be no problem.
