Zhuang Peng and the others immediately whistled, their sloppy demeanor drawing disdainful looks from the girls in the class.
“Teacher Lin, isn’t it a bit rude to wear a hat in class?” Zhuang Peng showed no respect for the oral training teacher.
He regarded her as just a temporary teacher. Could she really control them?
Judging by Teacher Lin’s attire, she didn’t seem much older than them. Zhuang Peng thought it was his chance to take advantage!
Zhou Chen, displeased with Zhuang Peng’s attitude, was the first to defend Teacher Lin. “Zhuang Peng, Teacher Lin is our teacher. Aren’t you being disrespectful by saying that? Apologize to Teacher Lin now!”
“Alright, alright, alright! We all know you like Teacher Lin! If you want to talk to her, go ahead!” Zhuang Peng waved his hand dismissively.
“You were so stingy when I asked you to introduce us to Teacher Lin. You really thought you had an advantage!”
“And now? Won’t we still have the chance to get close to Teacher Lin?”
Zhou Chen opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to retort. Instead, he turned his frustration towards Xia Chen. “Shouldn’t you say something about them disrespecting the teacher?”
Xia Chen ignored Zhou Chen.
He didn’t think Teacher Lin needed his help.
Xia Wan watched the drama unfold, curious about the bet between Zhuang Peng and Xia Chen. Judging by Xia Chen’s expression, she suspected Zhuang Peng was about to face defeat!
While Zhuang Peng, Zhou Chen, and others argued, the rest of the class curiously observed Teacher Lin.
Just as Zhuang Peng was about to utter something more offensive, Teacher Lin raised her hands.
Instantly, everyone fell silent, Zhuang Peng included.
“I believe the students who just participated in the discussion are very passionate and love learning,” Teacher Lin began.
Her words made Zhuang Peng and Zhou Chen puff up with pride.
But Teacher Lin didn’t look at them. Instead, she continued, “In that case, let me see your enthusiasm!”
Zhuang Peng and Zhou Chen cheered, eager to be noticed by Teacher Lin.
“Good! Those students over there, please set an example for everyone!” Teacher Lin called out Zhuang Peng, Zhou Chen, and others by name.
They were even more excited, their faces eager to try.
“Teacher Lin, just give us the instructions. We’ll set a great example for everyone!” Zhuang Peng said, his tone now serious.
Teacher Lin nodded slightly, and Xia Wan noticed a slight curl of her lips under the brim of her hat.
“Excellent! Then please run 10 laps around the school field in a competition!
The first to finish will become my class representative!”
Before Zhou Chen could react, Zhuang Peng let out a groan.
He could handle a fight, but running ten laps around the field? That would be torturous!
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want everyone to see your enthusiasm?” Teacher Lin
‘encouraged.’
The rest of the class didn’t miss the opportunity to tease Zhuang Peng and the others.
Zhou Chen, a regular in sports, found the task challenging but feasible. Plus, becoming Teacher Lin’s class representative and getting closer to her…
“Teacher! I’ll participate!” Zhou Chen declared first.
His decision put Zhuang Peng and the others in a tough spot.
If they joined the competition, they risked exhaustion.
If they didn’t, they’d lose the chance to be class representatives and face humiliation.
After a moment of deliberation, Zhuang Peng clenched his teeth. “We’ll participate too!”
His companions grumbled, but Zhuang Peng silenced them.
“No more complaints! Run!”
Zhou Chen quickly took the lead, heading for the track.
Once they had run off, Teacher Lin finally lifted her head, looking at Xia Chen and Xia Wan in the crowd with a proud smile..
