I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 154

After a simple breakfast, word about the incident spread, and Zhao Gang summoned them immediately to the office.

“Is Zhang Kang not here?”

“We were afraid of conflict, so we didn’t let him come. What happened? The other class teacher even wants you to apologize.”

Zhao Gang glanced at Xu Lin. He felt he knew Xu Lin well—smart with a touch of cunningness, but with a good personality and kindness.

However, he hadn’t anticipated Xu Lin initiating the altercation today. Zhang Kang’s class teacher said his neck was turning purple, indicating significant force.

But it seems the other party didn’t accuse Xu Lin of intentionally starting the fight or involve parents; instead, he just asked for an apology.

This made him look like the victim. Turns out, that kid is quite clever, which really annoys Zhao Gang.

In summary, Xu Lin, you’re such a smart kid, how could you let him take the moral high ground?

But as a class teacher, he couldn’t say such things, so he could only cough and say, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Xu Lin is not in the wrong! They provoked us first, and their actions last time had a great impact on me. It’s normal to ask for an apology from him, and it was also the school’s decision,” said Ji Yun forcefully, without lowering her voice at all.

With Ji Yun’s demeanor, several teachers raised their heads, and not far away, Su Qingwan also looked at Xu Lin, implying that his girlfriend is very protective of him.

At this moment, Xu Lin didn’t dare to look at Su Qingwan either, after all, he had just narrowly avoided being caught by her earlier.

Zhao Gang also quickly stood up, “Let’s not get angry first. I know Ji Yun, you were harassed by them, but Xu Lin shouldn’t resort to violence either.”

“Xu Lin didn’t use much force either, just grabbed the neck for a moment, not even a few seconds. How could it turn blue? It was just a bit red at the time, everyone saw it.”

Ji Yun didn’t want Xu Lin to apologize to that guy.

Although she didn’t have any special abilities, she was at least recognized as a good student, and good students had some privileges.

“I know, I know, I’ll help talk to his class teacher, leave it to me!” Zhao Gang said with a serious face, he couldn’t hold back either.

He was also very angry. His students were bullied, and now his students had retaliated a bit, yet they were expected to apologize. It ignited a fire in his heart!

Especially since these two students were his favorites, especially Ji Yun, who was so obedient, with good grades, and as the class monitor, had helped him with a lot of things.

“Thank you, Teacher Zhao.”

“All right, all right, you guys go back to the classroom first. The first period is Teacher Su’s class, right?”

“Yeah, let’s go. Your homeroom teacher is impressive, though.” Su Qingwan glanced at the time, stood up, and beckoned them.

“Haha, yeah, your homeroom teacher is impressive indeed.” Several other teachers around also chuckled.

Xu Lin and two others followed Su Qingwan out of the faculty office, their expressions serious, and no one spoke, falling into a brief silence.

A few seconds later, Ji Yun suddenly brought up a topic, and it was quite explosive.

“Teacher Su, I’m really sorry for the disturbance Xu Lin caused you during the blind date. Do you have a boyfriend now?”

Hearing Ji Yun’s words, Xu Lin was dumbfounded. What do you mean, Monitor Ji? Isn’t this touching a sore spot? I already told you that Su Qingwan has broken up with that scumbag, and besides, you’re just a student. You’re not that familiar to directly ask a teacher if they have a boyfriend, it’s too…

Su Qingwan was also taken aback by Ji Yun’s question, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled gently and said, “I got a boyfriend now, and you actually know him.”

“!?”

Xu Lin’s eyes widened again for a moment.

Su Qingwan, don’t mess with my state of mind!

He dared not turn his head, afraid that Ji Yun would notice something.

“Teacher Zhao?”

“Cough! Haha, you really have an imagination.”

Xu Lin also laughed out loud when he heard Ji Yun’s guess, and the tension just now dissipated by half.

“Although Teacher Zhao is not very handsome, his personality should be quite good, and it seems like he’s going to be the grade director next year.”

“Teacher Su, what do you think?”

“I prefer someone younger.” Su Qingwan glanced at Xu Lin and then continued to glance sideways at Ji Yun.

“Is that so? But Teacher Su isn’t that old either. If you prefer someone younger, wouldn’t that be the same age as Xu Lin? Then how about Xu Lin?”

Ji Yun seemed to be joking, but her gaze was very serious, making Xu Lin’s heart rate go up to 150!

“Yeah, but does Xu Lin like the teacher?”

“Eh? Teacher Su, stop making fun of me, a student.”

“I’m serious.”

Su Qingwan said, although she had a joking expression, but Xu Lin knew she was asking him seriously.

“I also like the teacher, teacher is so pretty.”

“Oh~ pretty? Is it because your English grades aren’t good, or is it because I’m too pretty?”

“Maybe both.”

“Mmm~” Su Qingwan nodded.

Ji Yun glanced at Su Qingwan on the left, then at Xu Lin on the right, her starry eyes confirming something.

Several more people arrived around the classroom at this time, increasing the number of students, and the three of them fell into silence again.

Although there were faint smiles on their faces, the atmosphere became even stranger than the initial seriousness.

Ji Yun understood one thing: Teacher Su and Xu Lin were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface!

However, Xu Lin and Teacher Su probably don’t have any definite relationship, otherwise Teacher Su wouldn’t have asked Xu Lin that question.

Furthermore, the fact that Teacher Su answered her so directly and said these things in front of her also indicates something; she doesn’t care about her relationship with Xu Lin.

Instead of simply feeling inadequate, she can sense that the other party just doesn’t care, not just about herself, but also about the Chu sisters.

Why does Xu Lin always surround himself with such pitiful good women? If it were a bad woman, everyone could team up to deal with her.

The three people entered the classroom, and the students settled down from their excitement. Xu Lin and Ji Yun took their seats, and Xu Lin intended to chat briefly with Ji Yun.

Before he could say anything, Ji Yun gave him a cold stare, showing no mercy.

“Are you angry?”

…..

“Xu Lin, why did you provoke my Ji Yun?” Zhuo Yan asked, looking at Ji Yun, who was completely silent and reading with her head down.

“I didn’t.”

“Ji Yun, how did he provoke you?”

“He didn’t.”

Xu Lin also helplessly slumped onto the table. It seems that Monitor Ji is really angry, and Teacher Su is quite something too.

The two sentences are considered a notice to Ji Yun, but since you like me, just talk to me. Why involve Ji Yun? Now I’m in an awkward position.

Now if I contact Teacher Su rashly, I’m afraid Ji Yun will report me. The Chu sisters will need to teach me a lesson then.

Ah, what a mess!

With this, Xu Lin spent a stressful morning, and just before school was about to end, the teacher walked into the classroom with a piece of paper.

“Teacher Wang, excuse me for a moment.”

“No problem, we’ll be done in a minute. Should I leave first?”

“Okay.”

The teacher walked up to the platform, tapped the desk with the duster, and said, “Ahem! Students, I have something to announce. Do you know about Feidu?”

“Is it the Feidu that’s about to release new shoes?” The sports committee member in the class interjected, showing obvious interest in the shoes.

“Yes, it is. It’s our domestic brand, also a decades-old brand. The company is undergoing a transformation recently, bringing in many new technologies for sports shoes.”

“Teacher, are you advertising?”

“Haha!” Everyone burst into laughter.

“Well, sort of. Let me tell you, this advertisement is related to each and every one of you!”

“Here’s the deal, Feidu will release new shoes the day after tomorrow. They’re organizing an event, randomly selecting 100 schools from 33 small cities to support students’ health and sports.”

“Each selected school will receive 5,000 pairs of shoes for free, and coincidentally, our school is one of them!”

“Teacher, are you saying we’ll get free shoes?!”

The students below instantly got excited, after all, it’s free, that’s quite enticing!

Although the Feidu shoes weren’t very attractive before, the new ones look so good, the ones they’re giving away surely won’t be bad!

“Let’s stay calm for now, there are 5,000 pairs of shoes, which is definitely enough for our school at the moment, but they will be distributed in batches.”

“This afternoon, Ms. Ye will come to our school for promotion, we’ll all go to the playground together for a while, and then they’ll give away 1,000 pairs of shoes on the spot.”

“This batch includes shoe sizes 34, 35, 36, 42, and 43. Everyone who fits those sizes, please raise your hand so I can tally. We’ll schedule for this afternoon,” said the teacher.

“Xu Lin, what’s your shoe size?” Li Bin sighed upon realizing his size wasn’t available, “Looks like I missed out on the first batch.”

“I’m size 42,” Xu Lin replied.

“Then you’re in luck. What about you, Ma Zhiyu?”

“I’m also size 42.”

“What! Why do I have to be a size 44?” Li Bin exclaimed, feeling disappointed.

While Li Bin was sighing, Xu Lin suddenly had a realization: Wait a minute, isn’t Ms. Ye just Ye Fanleng?! She actually came to Linshui in person?!
