Chapter 133: Silly Zhang Yang (2/2)

Coughing a few times and wiping the corners of his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer, he quickly left the room.

Standing in the corridor, he gazed at the sky outside the window, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

Money was no longer an issue, as distant relatives had agreed to lend him some.

But a new problem arose.

The relatives’ money wasn’t lent without conditions. Although it wasn’t explicitly stated over the phone, they had arranged to come over this Saturday afternoon to discuss the terms of the loan in person.

“What could it be?”

Teacher Yan sighed, momentarily setting aside his worries, and paced to the back door, peering into the classroom through the window.

At that moment.

The students were still quietly sobbing.

He looked at them with mixed emotions, his eyes moistening again. As he watched, his gaze quickly swept to Zhao Qingfeng.

He noticed.

Zhao Qingfeng wasn’t sad like the others.

Instead, he was punching Zhang Yang while laughing and talking with Shen Lingyao.

His expression was relaxed.

As if nothing had happened.

In an instant.

A chill ran through Teacher Yan’s heart. Remembering Zhao Qingfeng’s bold declarations at the oath-taking meeting, where he said he wanted to be everyone’s hero, but now, he was laughing, and so brightly at that.

Did he not care about him?

Was everything before just a facade?

Teacher Yan quickly fell into doubt.

But in the next moment, he brushed aside these complex emotions.

Let him be happy.

It was good for him to be a bit happier.

His family situation wasn’t optimistic.

And he was just a kid, it was good to be carefree.

He had such a big bet with the three aunties. If he were as sad as the other students, facing greater difficulties in the future might completely knock him down, potentially leading him astray.

“…”

Teacher Yan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Seeing the students still in sorrow, he went to class one and called Teacher Bian over.

After being scolded by Teacher Yan, Teacher Bian chuckled, “Teacher Yan, you can’t hide the truth. How could this matter be kept secret? Besides, I didn’t expect Zhang Yang from your class to be so blunt! Don’t worry, I’ll go and calm them down!”

Teacher Bian told Teacher Yan to rest and quickly stepped into class two.

Upon entering.

He immediately noticed Zhao Qingfeng, who was clearly in a different state from the others.

“Zhao Qingfeng!”

Teacher Bian barked, “What are you laughing at, come out here!”

Zhao Qingfeng was startled, then quickly realized what was happening.

But he knew well that he was indeed laughing, but his laughter was because he felt the students shouldn’t be overly sorrowful.

Because tomorrow, Liu Li would be bringing over 200,000 yuan.

He planned to give Teacher Yan 100,000 yuan first for his treatment, and if that wasn’t enough, there would be more later.

As for his own matters, he also planned to wait until after the university entrance exam to address them.

Unexpectedly, he was now seen by Teacher Bian as an ungrateful wretch.

“Zhao Qingfeng, Zhao Qingfeng, I really misjudged you! Give me that 200 yuan, you don’t need to come tomorrow! You, you’re just a pure white-eyed wolf! I heard you scored 250 this time, you’re a fool plus an idiot, not only failing your teacher in your studies but also in affection, really disappointing me!”

Teacher Bian’s long speech, filled with righteous indignation, came as he poked Zhao Qingfeng several times.

“Teacher Bian, you don’t understand, I am…”

Zhao Qingfeng immediately tried to explain, but at the same time, Teacher Yan returned, pushing Teacher Bian to quickly go back and calm the other students’ emotions.

Teacher Bian glared fiercely at Zhao Qingfeng, took back the 200 yuan, and went into the classroom.

Teacher Yan’s gaze still carried affection and strictness. After coughing twice, he spoke words that deeply moved Zhao Qingfeng.
