14: Chapter 14: The Whole School Is in an Uproar, Teacher Su Makes a Pact with Yun Zhuo?
"Evidence? Didn't Yun Zhuo come?" He swept his gaze across the classroom but didn't see Yun Zhuo. "Where is he? I clearly saw him come in first at the school gate just now."
A woman stood up and said, "I think I saw him going to the Principal's Office earlier."
Hearing this, Liu Haoliang subconsciously rushed out.
Seeing this, others immediately followed suit and ran out. The sound of chair legs scraping the floor and chaotic footsteps instantly filled the corridor.
Other classes saw them rushing out in a frenzy and curiously pushed open their windows to peek out.
A girl leaning on the windowsill asked, "Xiao Mei, what's wrong with your class? A mass escape?"
"Teacher Su contracted with Yun Zhuo."
"Teacher Su contracted with Yun Zhuo?" People from the neighboring class instantly exploded with excitement upon hearing the news.
Another boy pressed for more info, "How is that possible? Wasn't he beaten to death by Chen Bo yesterday?"
"No, he wasn't killed. We're going to ask that kid and find out if this is actually true."
Hearing this, others thought, 'Holy crap, this is some massive gossip.'
All of a sudden, everyone started running out as well.
Then the crowd grew like a rolling snowball, a massive swarm surging toward the Administration Building. The teachers in the middle of their lessons couldn't stop them at all.
After all, who wouldn't want to verify for themselves something like the Ice Goddess Teacher Su contracting with a Trash classmate?
...
At the school gate, Chen Qi's face turned red as he stammered through an introduction, "T-Teacher Su, hello! I-I am Chen Bo's cousin, my name is Chen Qi."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. Why did his tongue suddenly become so clumsy?
Would Teacher Su think I'm a coward and look down on me?
Su Qingyuan showed no expression on her face and gave a polite nod. "Is there something?"
Chen Qi froze, his heart sinking halfway. I knew it, Teacher Su definitely thinks I'm a coward.
He wanted to show his impressive side, but his body just wouldn't cooperate.
"N-nothing... no, there is something."
"What is it?" Su Qingyuan frowned slightly, her patience nearly exhausted.
"This..."
"If there's nothing, I'll be going now."
Seeing Su Qingyuan about to leave, Chen Qi panicked and subconsciously reached out to grab her wrist.
Su Qingyuan was startled. She jerked her hand back, shaking off his wandering hand, and her gaze instantly turned cold. "Mr. Chen, please show some respect."
"S-sorry... you misunderstood, I meant no harm, I wanted to..."
Inside the car, Li Wanqing saw this coward stalling again and couldn't help but assist. "Teacher Su, Brother Chen Qi wanted to ask you how Chen Bo is performing at school and if he's been causing trouble."
Chen Qi's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I wanted to ask if that kid Chen Bo is always causing trouble for you at school."
"My third uncle only has him as his only child and usually spoils him rotten. He must have caused quite a bit of trouble, right?"
"He was placed in the Martial Arts Class as soon as he transferred. I teach Literature, so I'm not clear on his performance."
Su Qingyuan's tone grew even flatter. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I still have a class to teach."
After saying that, she stepped back two paces to establish a safe distance before turning to walk into the school.
But just as she stepped through the gate, she saw a massive crowd of figures running from the direction of the teaching building, and she could faintly hear the sound of a commotion.
"What happened?" Her heart tightened, and she immediately quickened her pace to catch up.
Chen Qi returned to the car looking dejected. Such a good opportunity, ruined by himself again.
Seeing this, Li Wanqing from the back seat immediately stepped forward to comfort him. "It's okay, Brother Chen Qi. Didn't you get to speak with Teacher Su today? That's already a huge step forward."
"You don't know shit," Chen Qi said crossly.
Li Wanqing didn't mind being rebuffed; after all, he was a young master from a wealthy family and a top student from the Capital Martial Arts University. He had the right to give her an attitude.
So she continued to comfort him warmly, "Brother Chen Qi, you just performed poorly earlier..."
As she was speaking, she was annoyedly interrupted by Chen Qi, "Shut up. Get out of the car, all of you get out."
Chen Bo gave Li Wanqing a sour look and then opened the door to get out.
After a while, Li Wanqing also got out. Once Chen Qi drove away, Chen Bo finally said, "Tried to butter them up and got the cold shoulder, didn't you?"
Li Wanqing said, "Chen Bo, how can you say that? He's your cousin, after all."
"Hmph!" Chen Bo suddenly leaned in close and said in a low voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're courting death, do you know that?"
"What did I do? Chen Bo, if you look down on me, just say it. I don't necessarily have to contract with you."
"Oh really? Fine then, let's dissolve the contract."
"You... you actually said that to me? Do you have no conscience at all?"
"Shut up. I'm not that trash Yun Zhuo. Stop trying to manipulate me with that kind of talk; I'm not a man you can control."
At this point, he suddenly grabbed Li Wanqing's arm. "Also, if you can make me happy, I can dote on you."
"But if you make me Life Qi, I'll kill your whole family in a heartbeat, believe it or not?"
"Chen Bo, you... you're scaring me."
Seeing Li Wanqing's teary-eyed look, Chen Bo's heart eventually softened.
He let go of Li Wanqing's hand with a jerk, turned, and said, "Let's go. To the Training Room."
"Oh." Li Wanqing quickly trotted to keep up, intimately taking his hand. "Chen Bo, I'll listen to you from now on. Don't be like this anymore, okay?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know, my cousin is simply not human. By the way, do you know why he was suspended?"
"Why?"
"Because he forced his War Princess to have improper relations with others while he recorded videos on the side. In the end, that War Princess committed suicide, unable to bear the humiliation."
"Improper relations?" Li Wanqing looked confused.
Chen Bo glanced at her and smirked, "Just think of the most depraved things you can imagine."
Li Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she said crossly, "How could he do that?"
"He does this kind of thing often. And do you know? That War Princess's talent was even Heaven Rank Low Grade, and her father was a Patrol Officer. Yet the school's punishment for him was merely suspension."
"Basically waiting for the public outcry to die down before going back to school."
"Why do you think you should provoke him? Do you think your end would be any better than that War Princess's?"
Li Wanqing fell silent after hearing this, but Chen Bo suddenly noticed something seemed off with the school today.
"Why is the school so quiet today?"
After saying that, Chen Bo saw someone running out of the teaching building's restroom. He quickly rushed up and grabbed the person, asking, "Why is the school so quiet today? What happened?"
"No way, you don't know yet? Teacher Su contracted with Yun Zhuo. Everyone ran to the Administration Building to watch the excitement. I'm only here because of diarrhea... Oh no, it's coming again." The person clutched their stomach with a pained expression and said, "Let go of me quickly."
Chen Bo stood frozen on the spot. What did I just hear? Teacher Su actually contracted with that trash Yun Zhuo?
How is that possible! How could Teacher Su take an interest in that trash?
The more he thought about it, the more Qi he became, and he couldn't help but curse loudly, "Vile! Vile!"
Hearing that Teacher Su had contracted with Yun Zhuo, Li Wanqing felt an inexplicable panic in her heart.
Impossible, impossible. Yun Zhuo didn't even catch my eye, how could Teacher Su possibly be interested in him?
Rumors, this must be some damn person spreading rumors.
