Chapter 116: Refusing the Donation (2/2)

After Teacher Yan finished his instructions, he told everyone to start their self-study.

Shen Lingyao turned to ask Zhao Qingfeng, “Brother Qingfeng, how much do you expect to score this time?”

“200.”

“What?!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ”

“Yaoyao, I need to control my score. Zhao Ming and the others are trying to harm me. You’ll see this weekend. By the way, do you remember that I once owed you thirty thousand yuan? I’ll pay you back this weekend, including the twenty thousand for your mom.”

“…”

Shen Lingyao’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

Previously, when Brother Qingfeng said he could earn tens of thousands, she had always thought he was boasting.

Really?

She looked at Zhao Qingfeng skeptically.

Zhao Qingfeng stared back at her, and after a moment of eye contact, he asked, “Haven’t had enough of looking at me? I’ll start charging if you keep staring. What, you want to talk about five cents’ worth of stuff? |ω?)????.”

“I don’t want to, (?￣?^￣??) despising you!”

“That’s good. I’m going to sleep for a bit. I had a nightmare last night that nearly scared me to death.”

“(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓⌒〓▇3:) What sleep? Get up and study!”

Although Shen Lingyao said that, she quietly passed him a cushion.

She felt sorry for him, letting him sleep a while. He really looked too tired.

Zhao Qingfeng took it, took a deep breath, and after sniffing, turned his head to frown and ask, “Yaoyao, you didn’t fart on it, did you?”

“What?”

“Like, letting out a little fart.”

“What do you think! (￣▽￣)o╭╯☆#╰_─﹏─)╯”

“Wrong! Can’t hold it anymore, going to nap…(っ?-?)”

Snoring.

After a night of exhaustion, he slept soundly.

Until Shen Lingyao pinched his ear, he finally fully woke up.

Eh?

What’s going on?

Why did he see Shen Lingyao’s chin when he opened his eyes?

Zhao Qingfeng quickly looked around and realized he was somehow lying on her legs.

“Did you sleep well?”

Shen Lingyao looked down from above, holding a compass in one hand, her little tiger teeth showing, looking fierce yet cute.

“Ah, well! Not well! Whatever you say!”

Zhao Qingfeng pretended to beg for mercy, suddenly rolled over, grabbed the compass, and ran out.

It wasn’t even noon break yet, five minutes before class ended.

Running to the door, he bumped into Teacher Yan, colliding with him fully. Teacher Yan, unable to withstand the impact, was pushed back against the wall, coughing violently.

“Cough, cough…”

The coughing was so loud, and when he let go of his mouth, his palm had a few strands of blood.

But he didn’t let anyone see, scolded Zhao Qingfeng a few words, telling him to hurry up and study, then hurried to the principal’s office.

“Here?”

Principal Gao liked Teacher Yan, offered him a seat, and poured him a glass of water.

After Teacher Yan coughed a few more times, Principal Gao put the cigarette he had just taken out back into his pocket, touched his chin, and said, “Teacher Yan, the call for donations from teachers and students is the school’s decision, not the Principal alone. It’s a good thing for you and a gesture of affection from the teachers and students. Why can’t you accept it?”

Teacher Yan was here for this reason.

He didn’t want to owe the teachers and students for nothing, thinking about the many impoverished students at the school and how the teachers weren’t wealthy either.

But once donations were mentioned, who could say no?

Especially for the impoverished students.

If the school didn’t allow them to donate, would it lead to ridicule from other students?

Teacher Yan’s heart was with the students, not just his own class, but all of them; he loved them like his own life.

He wanted to curse teacher Bian.

And even more, he wanted to curse his wife.

Cancer did require borrowing money, but he had already said he didn’t want to alarm the school; he could borrow a little from relatives and friends.

But teacher Bian couldn’t keep his mouth shut, and now the whole school knew.

Faced with Principal Gao’s repeated kindness, Teacher Yan still refused, “Principal Gao, let’s not talk about it anymore. I truly appreciate your kindness and everyone who wants to help, but I don’t want them to donate money. I came here to resign today. Either you fire me, or you stop the donations.”
