Chapter 69: Once Upon a Time There Was a Mountain… (1/2)

Class 2 of Grade Three was not one of the top classes.

But Old Yan refused to admit defeat and wanted his students to show their spirit at the motivational assembly, to outshine Classes 1 and 10, the key classes.

Seeing no one responding, he first looked at Zhao Qingfeng.

Although Zhao Qingfeng was not the best in studies nor the most mischievous, his recent transfer back from the provincial city and the well-known bet made him a highly representative figure.

“Zhao Qingfeng, would you like to give it a try?”

“If you want to speak at the assembly, I’ll sign you up.”

“It’s a good opportunity to write a speech and practice your Chinese language skills.”

“You can even give an impromptu speech, but you must show your spirit. Parents will be there, so perform well and make your mother proud.”

“If you agree, this opportunity is yours!”

After finishing, Old Yan looked at Zhao Qingfeng with a caring gaze.

Zhao Qingfeng understood his good intentions and was internally grateful countless times.

Shen Lingyao was also pleased.

The motivational assembly was important for both the students and their parents. If Zhao Qingfeng could speak well, Qingfeng’s mother would surely be very happy. She was eagerly hoping for her son to get into university, and it was a good chance for Zhao Qingfeng to restate his determination in public.

Just as Zhao Qingfeng was about to respond,

Suddenly, the director of teaching appeared at the door, knocking and calling Old Yan out.

Old Yan, puzzled, followed.

The classroom immediately became lively.

Zhang Yang shook his donkey face, “Brother Zhao, you have to perform well at this assembly. You can’t let my sister-in-law down!”

Shen Lingyao’s face turned red instantly, “Zhang Yang, you must stop talking nonsense from now on!”

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t speak, staring at Shen Lingyao’s pretty face, thinking about last night’s embrace.

His face also reddened, scanning Shen Lingyao’s delicate body up and down, thinking to himself how different she looked from various angles…

“What are you looking at, you scoundrel!”

Shen Lingyao noticed Zhao Qingfeng’s intense gaze and felt extremely shy.

But at that moment,

Old Yan returned.

He stood at the door and called out to Zhao Qingfeng with a serious tone, “Zhao Qingfeng, come out, I need to ask you something!”

Shen Lingyao was startled.

She wondered if Old Yan had found out about their embrace last night.

That couldn’t be…

They were at a construction site, where nobody was around.

Zhao Qingfeng was also confused.

He stood up and walked to the door, smiling at Old Yan, thinking he was going to emphasize the importance of the motivational assembly.

Old Yan looked at him, his brows furrowed, then suddenly asked, “Zhao Qingfeng, I want to know, did you cause the incident at the reservoir amusement park two weeks ago? Did you and Shen Lingyao secretly turn on the electricity and then frame Wang Qiang from Class 3? Is there any truth to this?”

“What?”

Zhao Qingfeng had almost forgotten about Wang Qiang.

He thought to himself that Wang had been quiet lately and hadn’t been seen on the basketball court, wondering if he had socially died.

“I’m asking you!”

Old Yan pressed harder, with the director of teaching watching from a dozen steps away.

Zhao Qingfeng’s mind raced, he chuckled.

Trying to frame him, huh?

There was no way he would admit it.

In those days, there were no surveillance cameras, and the old man hadn’t seen his face clearly. Playing the ‘I know nothing’ card, he immediately shook his head, “Old Yan, you really misunderstood. I was in the provincial city earning money that week. You can ask at the Chaoyang District, sister Lan and Little Kun from the third floor at Dazhong Computer can vouch for me.”

After hearing this, Old Yan turned to look at the director of teaching.

The director of teaching thought for a moment and then quickly came forward, asking again, “If it wasn’t you, then who was it? Alright, let’s put that aside for now. We have also received reports that you and Shen Lingyao are in a premature relationship. Let’s talk about that.”

Premature relationships are not advisable.
