I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 94 - 90: Involve Me

Chapter 94: Chapter 90: Involve Me

Old Wu called Li Qingran and Ye Zheng outside.

There were no other teachers in the office at this time. Old Wu looked at Ye Zheng with a stern face: "Ye Zheng, regarding the matter Xie Ying’an just mentioned, I hope you can give me an explanation."

Ye Zheng bit her lip, bowed her head, and wiped her tears without speaking.

Old Wu was extremely patient, determined to wait until Ye Zheng spoke.

After a long while, Ye Zheng finally began to speak with a sobbing voice: "I, I, I just can’t accept Li Qingran’s success. Clearly, in the more than a dozen exams before this year, Li Qingran’s scores were never better than mine. Just because she got second place in the grades this time, do you, teacher, negate all my previous achievements?"

Perhaps she felt too much injustice in her heart, and these words were almost shouted at Old Wu. After her outburst, her tears fell like they cost nothing.

Qingran thought to herself: What do you have to feel wronged about, just like Xie Ying’an said, I am the one who’s truly wronged, right? With a simple command from the teacher, I had to replace you, and replacing you didn’t bring me any benefit.

Old Wu handed Ye Zheng a few tissues, his expression still grave: "If you feel wronged, you could have come to me. Why did you go to Li Qingran?"

Ye Zheng fell silent this time.

It’s obvious, she definitely didn’t dare to confront the head teacher.

Old Wu then turned to look at Qingran, shifting from a stern to a somewhat guilty expression: "I didn’t handle this matter well this time, and caused Qingran to feel aggrieved. However, in the future, if there’s anything, Qingran can also come directly to me."

It’s best not to be like this time, where Xie Ying’an called you out in front of so many students, especially when the key point was being threatened in the end.

What’s even more infuriating is that you couldn’t even speak up about the threat, after all, it was my negligence first and foremost.

Qingran certainly heard the subtext in Old Wu’s words. Her eyes dimmed, and she suddenly said: "Teacher, I want to transfer classes."

One reason is to stay away from the female protagonist, Wen Shiyi.

The second is to get even further away from Xie Ying’an.

She has realized that Xie Ying’an’s emotions have become increasingly uncontrollable lately...

Not just Old Wu, even Ye Zheng’s expression changed hearing this.

Of course, transferring classes was impossible. Old Wu had painstakingly cultivated a top three student in the grade, and despite saying he didn’t care about such matters outwardly, he had actually prepared a stack of drafts for the upcoming speech privately.

If Qingran transferred classes, wouldn’t his speech become a joke?

Later on, Old Wu didn’t bother with Ye Zheng anymore, desperately trying to pacify Qingran’s mood, fearing that Qingran would go home and tell her parents about wanting to transfer.

If Qingran’s parents insisted firmly on her transferring, the school would surely agree to their request in order not to lose a good student.

In the end, Old Wu even said that if Qingran really didn’t want to participate in the Physics competition, he would do everything possible to fulfill this request.

Ye Zheng looked at Old Wu with some expectation upon hearing this sentence.

Qingran glanced at Ye Zheng and suddenly changed her mind.

On the way home after school, Qingran and Ruan Ruan were walking together; Xie Ying’an and Li Qingmo were shoulder to shoulder behind them.

Ruan Ruan was holding a cell phone, giggling uncontrollably as she browsed the screenshots sent by Zheng Chunming while linking arms with Qingran.

"Hahaha – I, I’m going to die laughing, Ranran, hahaha~"

Qingran wasn’t really interested; today’s events had left her in a terrible mood, but she still laughed a few times to humor Ruan Ruan.

Ruan Ruan lowered her voice to Qingran and said, "If you ask me, these guys are shameless enough, still making up all kinds of excuses at a time like this. If Brother An doesn’t drive them home, it just means he doesn’t want to, what other reason could there be? They were all showing off and boasting in the group chat a while ago, but who knew the slap in the face would come so swiftly and unexpectedly, hahaha!"

Xie Ying’an changed the route he took to get home, which also indirectly changed the plot in the book - he no longer took the female lead home every day.

Now Qingran also realized that some plots, she and Huang Qianyu, characters like them, simply had no power to change, while Xie Ying’an could change them as he wished.

But as the plot changed, Qingran always felt that Wen Shiyi’s personality had changed quite a bit too. It got somewhat different from the book, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was different.

Li Qingmo bumped Xie Ying’an’s shoulder, looked at Ruan Ruan’s figure laughing hysterically, and wore an expression that said more than words could: "Hey, are girls mostly this crazy?"

Xie Ying’an cast a sideway glance at him: "How would I know?"

"Tsk!" Li Qingmo smirked sleazily: "You get so many girls’ open and secret crushes every day, stop pretending to be so innocent."

Xie Ying’an frowned: "Don’t talk nonsense."

Li Qingmo scoffed disdainfully.

Then Xie Ying’an seriously added, "Especially in front of your sister, don’t talk nonsense."

"Wow," straight-as-an-arrow guy Li Qingmo grinned and mocked Xie Ying’an: "You also think this is embarrassing? Afraid Li Qingran will find out, hahaha..."

Xie Ying’an looked at him with half-lowered eyes, his expression resembled that of someone watching a fool singing on the street.

The group first dropped Ruan Ruan off at her home before continuing on their way to their own houses.

On the way, Li Qingmo approached Qingran and asked how she did in tonight’s physics competition class?

"Not bad," Qingran answered, walking straight without turning her head, casually asking him, "Brother, why didn’t you go to physics class today?"

Li Qingmo spread his hands: "I wanted to, but my homeroom teacher said my foundation in physics isn’t weak, and going there I wouldn’t take notes anyway, which is equal to wasting time. So for these few classes, she stopped me from going and instead trapped me in the classroom to do papers, sigh~"

His melancholic expression looked so dejected.

Class 3’s course schedule wasn’t as intense as Class 1’s. The young Teacher Sun’s teaching methods were more focused on the students’ physical and mental pleasure.

But because of this, Class 3’s overall performance in the midterms had taken a big slide.

Forcing the fun-loving Li Qingmo to be like this showed that the school must’ve put pressure on Teacher Sun, who had to succumb.

The three got home around eight in the evening, and at this point, they went to their rooms to wash up.

After nine o’clock, Qingran’s room door was knocked on.

Qingran opened the door to find Xie Ying’an standing there with homework in his hand.

Xie Ying’an raised the homework in his hand and asked Qingran, "I forgot what homework the teacher assigned today."

Qingran: "..."

Pretending to be a good student, as if you’ve actually done the homework even when it’s assigned.

Xie Ying’an, who came to ask about homework, made himself at home sitting at Qingran’s desk and began doing his homework, taking up half of Qingran’s desk space.

Before the two had been writing for ten minutes, the door was knocked on again. Li Qingmo, with his hair still damp, saw Xie Ying’an opening the door and widened his eyes.

He pointed at Xie Ying’an, and after a long while, he blurted out, "I knew it! You two are secretly studying together at night, and then edging me out!!!"

Xie Ying’an: "..."

Thus, the already cramped corner of the desk was squeezed into by another teenage figure.
