Chapter 36: Chapter 36 You Dare to Laugh?
Gu Zhihan stopped her from untying the red scarf.
Since the homeroom teacher really would hit the students for it, he was even less likely to let her return the red scarf to him.
The poor thing was so afraid of pain, if she got hit those few times, he didn’t even want to think about the crying mess she’d become.
“What do you mean ‘no need’? Didn’t you see the homeroom teacher hit someone?”
Mengmeng was almost frantic. She really would have rather taken the beating herself than see her husband get hurt.
Gu Zhihan responded calmly, his face showing not a trace of fear, but instead he confidently took the little girl’s hand and walked forward.
Mengmeng, feeling helpless, had already made up her mind in the bottom of her heart—she would confess proactively later and explain the situation to the teacher.
“Teacher, look quick, there’s another one without a red scarf!” When they were walking over, the sharp-eyed Lu Zichen immediately noticed Gu Zhihan’s bare neck, and instantly a smug smile appeared on his face.
He thought, let him interfere with Mengmeng offering her future daughter to him as a wife! Well, then he couldn’t blame him for kicking someone when they were down! Humph!
“What? Someone else isn’t wearing it?” Upon hearing that, the homeroom teacher flared up with anger again, her eyes immediately followed the direction of Lu Zichen’s point, turned her head, and snapped, “You students, did all of you catch amnesia or what, why isn’t anyone wearing their red…” scarf.
When the homeroom teacher saw that the person was Gu Zhihan, her voice involuntarily paused, she frowned at him, “Gu Zhihan, why is it you? How come you’re not wearing your red scarf either?”
Gu Zhihan said expressionlessly and proactively extended his hand to her, looking completely ready to accept any punishment.
“Hubby!” Beside him, Mengmeng’s hand immediately clenched his clothes, her pretty brow furrowed tightly, afraid that the teacher’s stick would fall. So, without even hesitating, she looked up at the homeroom teacher and gathered her courage to say, “Teacher, actually…”
Just as she was on the verge of spilling the truth, she saw the homeroom teacher let out a slight sigh and said directly to Gu Zhihan, “What are you extending your hand for, I’m not going to hit you. The teacher believes you didn’t mean to forget your red scarf. Alright, go to the classroom. I have a meeting soon, and remember to lead everyone in reading at the podium on behalf of the teacher.”
Her tone was as gentle as the spring breeze of April, nothing like the ferocious demeanor she had when scolding Tong Mo and Lu Zichen.
Of course not, those two had scored a big fat zero on the entrance exam, while this one had a perfect score. How could they be treated the same?
Moreover, Gu Zhihan was not only the class monitor but also the class representative, her key student. How could she bear to hit him!
Gu Zhihan gave a nod in response, retracted his hand, and directly led an incredulous Mengmeng into the classroom.
“Teacher, isn’t this a bit unfair? We all forgot to wear the red scarf, so why do you only punish us two and not Gu Zhihan?” Lu Zichen couldn’t help his resentment.
It was blatant favoritism! A flagrant disregard for the law!
“You still have the nerve to say that. Don’t think I didn’t see you gloating just now!” The homeroom teacher didn’t offer him a word of explanation, but instead yelled at him, grabbed his hand, and “smack, smack” gave him two more.
Tong Mo rubbed her hands together sneakily, snickering on the side, haha, that’ll teach you to run your mouth for no reason.
“Tong Mo, you dare laugh?” Her laughter couldn’t escape the sharp eyes of the old homeroom teacher. She immediately grabbed her hand and hit her twice more, “What, you find it funny to see the teacher punish others, is that it?”
