Chapter 562: Back to Campus Life! The English Teacher Arrives at the Classroom! Try!

The beautiful, mature woman even waved at them and smiled somewhat playfully, "Didn't you hear me? Class is starting! Hurry up and return to your seats!"

Someone whispered, "Teacher Zhang?"

"Teacher Zhang?"

A girl covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"

"..."

"Ah~"

"Wow~"

A male student let out a wolf howl.

Su Yang looked at Jiang Pingyuan in confusion, and Jiang Pingyuan looked at Ran Ying in confusion!

Teacher Zhang's full name was Zhang Ziyan. She was their English teacher back then and had taught them for two years.

Because she was beautiful and sang English songs well, she left a deep impression on everyone!

She was probably the most popular university lecturer in the class, among both boys and girls!

It was said that Teacher Zhang got married during their senior year.

Pang Dong had claimed in the dormitory back then that he was heartbroken...

Ran Ying smiled and said, "How about it? Was it unexpected?"

Su Yang smiled, "Did Teacher Ran arrange this?"

"Teacher Zhang happened to be at the school, so I invited her over!" Ran Ying said proudly. "Is it a surprise?"

"It really is!"

Su Yang nodded in agreement.

"..."

Zhang Ziyan walked into the classroom with a textbook, and the students who were still standing quickly found their seats.

She placed the textbook on the podium. "What, can't you recognize me anymore? Are you not going to welcome me?"

"We recognize you!"

"Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"

"Yeah! Teacher Zhang, how did you come?"

"Welcome! Of course we welcome Teacher Zhang!"

"Teacher Zhang, you seem to have gained some weight!"

"..."

Hearing the phrase "you seem to have gained some weight," Zhang Ziyan put one hand on her hip and the other to her forehead, wearing an expression that said she was pained, unhappy, and utterly speechless...

The students in the class burst into laughter!

After the laughter subsided, Zhang Ziyan looked at Su Yang and Ran Ying. "That handsome young man over there, hurry up and sit down. Teacher is about to start the lesson!"

Seeing all their classmates staring at them, those who hadn't sat down yet all took their seats, including Jiang Pingyuan and Ran Ying. Su Yang could only sit down next to Ran Ying.

Everyone watched Zhang Ziyan quietly, wanting to see what she was up to.

Zhang Ziyan smiled, turned on the multimedia projector, and took out a microphone from under the podium...

Su Yang glanced at Teacher Ran; this was clearly premeditated!

Zhang Ziyan spoke into the microphone, "So many years have passed. I'm very happy to see everyone again..."

"We're very happy too!"

"Yes, we're very happy too!"

"..."

Some of the more emotional girls couldn't help but get red-eyed and wiped away tears.

The students in the classroom had already been graduated for three or four years.

Some of them had already entered the workforce, and some were already married with children...

They might have experienced many hardships and been beaten down by reality.

But at this moment, sitting in the classroom and looking at Teacher Zhang standing on the podium, they felt as if they had returned to those carefree university days!

Zhang Ziyan looked at everyone, her voice as gentle as ever. "I know that after leaving school for over three years, life can't always be smooth sailing. You might have a lot of frustration in your hearts, you might have felt setbacks, you might doubt yourselves, and you might be carrying too many expectations from others... But I hope everyone will treat themselves gently, learn to reconcile with yourselves, and not push yourselves too hard. Only by relaxing can you go further. In my heart, and in everyone's hearts, each of you is unique... I'll give you the song 'Try'!"

Amidst the familiar music, Su Yang saw the lyrics for 'Try' appear on the projection screen!

Zhang Ziyan pointed to the windows on both sides, and students immediately stood up to pull down the curtains, making the projection screen clearer.

Zhang Ziyan picked up the microphone, brushed back her long hair, and smiled. "I taught you this song before. If you still know it, join in. Put your make up on, Get your nails done, Curl your hair..."

Before long, the sound of people softly singing along began to rise.

This English song had always been quite popular.

Even if one didn't listen to it intentionally, its melody was often heard.

The English lyrics weren't complicated, and Zhang Ziyan had taught them back then.

A group of female students with good memories and grades gradually started singing along!

Seeing that people could keep up, Zhang Ziyan smiled even more happily...

Her singing skills were at the level of a top-tier KTV pro, but her pronunciation was very standard.

Her gentle voice carried a lot of encouragement and comfort... coupled with the atmosphere of the moment, it possessed a strong emotional resonance!

Su Yang could no longer bring himself to critique Teacher Zhang's singing technique!

"You don't have to try so hard (Do you like yourself?)"

"You don't have to, give it all away (You don't have to force yourself to give your all, you don't have to force yourself to hold nothing back!)"

"You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up (You just need to pull yourself together and be yourself...)"

"You don't have to change a single thing, You don't have to try, try, try, try!"

"You don't have to try, try, try, try~"

Even the students who didn't like English and had returned most of their English knowledge to their teachers started singing along...

"You don't have to try, try, try, try~"

"You don't have to try~"

"Yooou don't have to try~"

"..."

When the song ended, the classroom was filled with enthusiastic applause!

Some female students were applauding while wiping away tears, including Lan Lihong.

Afterward, Ran Ying and Zhang Ziyan took everyone to visit the library.

Lan Lihong and two other female students pulled Zhang Ziyan aside, talking incessantly about something.

Su Yang vaguely heard that they were actually discussing parenting knowledge!

Then they went to visit the school cafeteria and supermarket.

Some female students got excited and bought some of their favorite snacks at the supermarket to share with everyone.

Su Yang was honored to receive a handful of sunflower seeds!

Zhang Ziyan also took the time to chat with Su Yang. "Su Yang, I didn't expect you to be the most successful among all the students in our class!"

Su Yang said curiously, "What, Teacher Zhang, did I look like I wouldn't be successful?"

Zhang Ziyan laughed. "You were too handsome and started dating in your freshman year... You didn't look like a student who studied seriously!"

Ran Ying pulled on Zhang Ziyan, signaling her not to continue.

Su Yang grumbled, "Being handsome isn't my fault!"

Zhang Ziyan nodded with a smile. "That's true!"

Then they all went to visit the playground and the small woods on the back hill.

Some people were so obsessive that they didn't even skip the restrooms.

They said they particularly liked the one next to the playground...

Everyone wandered around until five in the afternoon, and then Su Yang invited Zhang Ziyan to dinner.

Zhang Ziyan smiled and agreed!

In the summer, it didn't get dark in Rongcheng until eight o'clock, so this arrangement was to allow the students to get home safely.

Everyone had a great time that day and felt very fulfilled!

The only thing that made people feel a bit down was that one classmate had passed away, but at least most of them forgot about it for a short while!

Some male students felt it was a pity that this dinner was at a restaurant instead of a bath center—at least that's what Pang Dong said... and Jiang Pingyuan let it slip!

By the time the last classmate was sent off, it was still early before dark, and they could see the setting sun in the west just by looking up.

Having drunk some red wine, a flushed Jiang Pingyuan stood by the roadside and said to Su Yang with a smile:

"Before the reunion, those girls were making a fuss in the group chat, egging on the pretty single girls in class to make a move on you so as not to waste resources. I thought you'd be besieged, but it seems I was overthinking it!"

Jiang Pingyuan laughed heartily. "They were so timid in front of you, not at all like their arrogant selves in the group chat. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were real ladies!"

Su Yang smiled. "They were just talking!"

"Keyboard warriors!" Jiang Pingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Mainly because the counselor and teachers were present, and you also put a bit of pressure on them..."

"I'm not that scary!"

"Hard to say!" Jiang Pingyuan said as he saw a Volkswagen pulling up. "The car is here, I'm leaving. Remember to settle the tab!"

Su Yang patted his shoulder and said softly, "Call me if you need anything!"

"Mm!"
