Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 648 - 402 Transfer_2

Chen Siyu hurriedly turned around and opened her textbook to review.

She was just an ordinary student, without Xue Yuantong’s "Undying True Body."

Shan Qingrong walked into the classroom with a flushed face, leading many students to suspect that the homeroom teacher had been drinking that day.

Shan Qingrong spoke briefly about the imminent final exams, emphasizing their importance and how they would to a certain extent determine future class placements.

Then, he shifted his tone, "Chen Siyu, everyone is studying on their own, why are you talking during class?"

Shan Qingrong was a very responsible homeroom teacher, but he also had a strict side. For example, at the start of school, when Miao Zhe and Wang Longlong fought, both got a beating from him.

And then there was Ma Shicheng playing on his cellphone, which led Shan Qingrong to conduct a body search.

"You talking to yourself is one thing, but why involve others in a conversation? Do you realize this can affect the other students’ studies?"

Chen Siyu stayed seated, her head lowered, not uttering a single word.

In the back row was Xue Yuantong, a man of valor, who could not stand to see her punished.

Xue Yuantong immediately raised his hand saying, "Teacher, it was me who insisted on talking to her. She ignored me at first, but I kept poking her!"

Upon hearing this, the entire class focused intently on the homeroom teacher, wondering how he would deal with the school’s number one student taking the blame.

Shan Qingrong’s already-red face from drinking turned even redder. He did not respond to Xue Yuantong but instead stared at Chen Siyu, demanding an answer:

"When she tried to talk to you, why didn’t you resist?"

...

After class, with her spirits crushed, Chen Siyu said disheartenedly:

"Tongtong, next time I’m targeted by a teacher, please don’t stick up for me!"

Xue Yuantong was ashamed to face her.

During the break, Huang Zhongfei received the news and came to the classroom to announce, "Classmates, the vacation dates have been set."

Upon hearing this, the class first erupted into minor chaos before quickly settling down as everyone eagerly awaited more details.

Huang Zhongfei announced loudly, "Today is the 22nd. We have exams on the 30th and the 1st, and after the exams, we’ll be on holiday from July 2nd. School will start again on September 1st."

Shocked by such explosive news, Guo Kunnan excitedly shook Hu Jun, "Brother Jun, Brother Jun, a full two months of vacation!"

Hu Jun sighed, looking heavenward, "Two months without washing my hair or eating skewered food."

The things he longed for would only reunite with him after two months.

Hearing this, Guo Kunnan suddenly realized he wouldn’t be able to meet with Lu Yaya during the vacation.

His heart sank once again.

Fortunately, Wang Longlong, holding Brother Ma’s phone, said, "Brother Nan, the freshman group is set up, and new students have already joined. Here, I’ll add you as an admin."

Guo Kunnan’s mood instantly lifted, as numerous younger schoolgirls awaited him!

This year, Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School had ample funding. The Education Bureau had sent word of plans to increase enrollment. In previous years, the school enrolled only six or seven hundred new students, but this year the number was rumored to exceed a thousand, possibly even more!

A new era had dawned, and in Guo Kunnan’s heart, waves of excitement surged:

"My Fourth Middle School is rising, and I will become its tide-rider!"

In the front row, Chen Siyu and her classmates were also discussing the expansion of Fourth Middle School. Jiang Ning was somewhat puzzled as he had not heard such news from Fourth Middle School, where he had studied, and the number of new students had not increased compared to previous years.

Jiang Ning surmised that it must be due to the influence of Changqing Liquid Company.

Chen Siyu curiously asked, "If our school expands enrollment, will we have enough teachers?"

Bai Yuxia replied, "The issue of teachers isn’t difficult to solve; intern teachers are lining up to join Fourth Middle School."

"Intern teachers probably aren’t very good, right?" guessed Chen Siyu.

Bai Yuxia countered, "Not necessarily. Do you think Teacher Guo Ran is bad?"

"No, no, she teaches very well."

"Intern teachers are young and energetic. They can engage with students well, so in terms of teaching effectiveness, they’re certainly not worse than many veteran teachers."

"Of course, compared to truly outstanding veteran teachers, they fall short, like our English teacher Chen Haiyang," Bai Yuxia explained.

Chen Siyu exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaxia, you know so much."

Bai Yuxia, unfazed by the praise, her hair black and straight, framed her face, accentuating her increasingly fair complexion.

She stood by the window, a view unto herself.

Chen Siyu found her to have a tranquil aura, utterly serene, almost nun-like.

Feeling that she was too detached, Chen Siyu dug out a memory card case from her flat pocket.

She leaned in and said, "Xiaxia, I found something new with my sister, do you want to take a look?"

Bai Yuxia’s delicate and pretty face flashed with a hint of unease before she nonchalantly took the card box.

...

The whole class was discussing the news about summer vacation, and the room was filled with noisy chatter.

Dong Qingfeng had made summer travel plans, Jiang Yanan said she was going to visit relatives in the coastal cities, and Lu Qiqi claimed she was going to a very high-end restaurant.

Pang Jiao planned to lose weight, Li Shengnan wanted to get double eyelid surgery, and Meng Gui bragged about how many movies he was going to watch.

Everyone had their own plans.

The class bell rang, and math teacher Gao Heshuai entered, carrying a textbook and also a stool.

He knew he was not liked by the students, like in class 8, where there should have been a stool for the teacher at the lectern for him to rest during self-study.

However, every time before class, that stool would mysteriously disappear, hidden by some heartless student, and Gao Heshuai had nowhere to sit.

Out of sheer necessity, he began to bring his stool with him.

The decay of social morals, no respect for teachers anymore!

Gao Heshuai clearly heard the voices of the students; he was the type of teacher who didn’t like to see students having an easy time.

His face stern, he shouted, "Pretty happy, aren’t you?"

The classroom quickly fell silent.

"The school gives you two months off, and you’re very happy, huh? Do you have any idea how important high school is? Two months of vacation can ruin you!"

Gao Heshuai was dissatisfied with the school’s vacation plans. Although a high-level instructor, the pathway to promotion in teaching still depended on seniority, and he was still just a lowly second-grade teacher, with plenty of first-grade and senior teachers at Fourth Middle School, Gao Heshuai was not taken seriously.

He continued, "By that time, if you’ve wasted your time and your grades plummet, will you still be happy? What are you so happy about?"

He used his teacher status to suppress the entire class single-handedly.

Faced with the irate Gao Heshuai, the students were like doused with cold water, holding their breath, and the classroom went eerily silent.

Ma Shicheng saw the oppressive atmosphere, like dead water, and he chirped in, "We have to be happy."

The students were shocked, turning to look back at him, thinking, is he seeking death?

Some noticed Gao Heshuai’s changing expression.

Before Gao Heshuai could get angry, they heard Ma Shicheng add, "We have two more months before the school starts, isn’t that something to be happy about?"

There was a round of dry laughter from the students.

During the lesson, Gao Heshuai posed a tough problem and made Ma Shicheng stand at the back of the room.

Wang Longlong sighed to himself, Brother Ma, why are you butting heads with him?

After lecturing for half the class and covering the material, Gao Heshuai let everyone study on their own.

Yu Wen, thinking Gao Heshuai was not looking, whispered with Jiang Yanan about their favorite Korean stars.

Accidentally, they got too into their conversation, and Gao Heshuai, at the lectern, overheard them.

Gao Heshuai was furious. He pinched a piece of chalk, tempted to throw it at Yu Wen, then remembered that he had accidentally thrown it into someone’s mouth last time, so he reluctantly set down the chalk.

Alright, he’d spare her this once.

...

After school.

The students cleaned the classroom, and Duan Shigang grabbed a broom to sweep the north side.

Deng Xiang paused at the classroom door, first making sure Jiang Ning wasn’t there before stepping into the territory of class 8. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Ge Hao called from behind him, "Brother Gang, what’s the situation, you’re cleaning now?"

He laughed heartily. Ever since entering Fourth Middle School, a small-time troublemaker like Ge Hao might not have stood out, but even so, tasks like cleaning were always beneath him.

As for anyone daring to object?

The class committee wouldn’t dare make a peep.

Deng Xiang said, "Brother Gang, stop that and come out for barbecue!"

After some time together, Duan Shigang felt like he had reconnected with old friends, though of course, his wallet was now half as heavy from his part-time job earnings.

Duan Shigang said, "I haven’t cleaned in so many years; I’m just getting a feel for what it’s like, you know?"

Zhang Yifei, with her square face, snickered from the side, "Yeah right, as if you have a choice after losing to Yang Sheng, you wouldn’t dare not to sweep!"

Duan Shigang, looking at the broom in her hand, retorted defensively, "As if you’re supposed to clean today?"
