Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Young Age

"!"

Mrs. Qian’s face was a picture of shock.

I knew it! I knew there was something off with those two!

From what Duoduo said, they’re childhood sweethearts, neighbors who walk to and from school together!

Look now! A problem has clearly emerged, hasn’t it! And the adults at home aren’t bothering to intervene!

From now on, I must keep Duoduo away from that girl! First thing Monday, I’ll find Old Cao! We must change the seating arrangement! We’ve got to change it!

-

While Mrs. Qian was silently heaping disdain on the pair, Zhen Yu was forcefully holding down Han Mingyue’s fist.

Her hands were small, just barely covering the back of Han Mingyue’s hand, and it took a great deal of strength to suppress his anger from exploding.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of Mrs. Qian, but rather because she was considerate of Teacher Qian and Qian Duoduo, who had truly been good to her.

Han Mingyue took several deep breaths, his chest heaved violently a few times before he managed to quell his rage, and then, turning his wrist, tightly grasped Zhen Yu’s small hand.

Zhen Yu let him hold it, even though it was somewhat painful, she didn’t make a sound.

-

Han Mingyue knew he shouldn’t lose his temper in someone else’s home, but he was truly furious.

This woman went too far!

Does she think this tutoring was sought after?

It was clearly Teacher Qian who had proactively offered to tutor Zhen Yu, and now she’s making it seem as though Zhen Yu had begged for it!

Zhen Yu had just followed her direction, acquiescing not to come over again!

Yet she still pressured Zhen Yu to speak to Teacher Qian in person!

This was downright humiliation! It was setting a trap for Zhen Yu!

If Zhen Yu really did as she said, then what kind of person would she become in the eyes of Teacher Qian and Qian Duoduo?

A pampered princess who can’t endure hardship?

A flaky person who fishes for three days and suns the nets for two, lacking the perseverance to accomplish anything?

Whatever it might be, it certainly wouldn’t be a good impression!

-

With that in mind, Han Mingyue pulled Zhen Yu to stand up and head towards the door.

Mrs. Qian couldn’t wait for these two to disappear from her house and watched coldly, making no effort to stop them.

Han Mingyue first took Zhen Yu’s coat from the coat rack and handed it to her, then he took his own coat and put it on.

After Zhen Yu had put on her coat, Han Mingyue took the time to dig out her hat and scarf from the pockets and helped her put them on.

Zhen Yu silently put on her gloves, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Han Mingyue’s voice.

Mrs. Qian, like Zhen Yu’s language arts teacher, also had the surname Cheng.

"Teacher Cheng," Han Mingyue said, his voice clear and resonant, ringing with conviction, "previously honored by Teacher Qian’s kind invitation, Zhen Yu has declined with disrespect! We have overstayed our welcome and will not come again, goodbye."

No sooner had he spoken than he took Zhen Yu and left.

-

Mrs. Qian watched the door to her home close, and then contempt spread across her face.

’Sincerely invited’, indeed! Who are they fooling? Fooling the spirits maybe~

Who ever heard of a student receiving tutoring because the teacher begged the student!

Giving those two free tutoring for such a long time, and what’s the result?

Humph!!! Not a word of gratitude, and instead they spawn a pair of ingrates!

Fuming, Qian Duoduo came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit.

"I thought I heard voices just now," he began, and then, noticing only his mother was in the living room, he asked in surprise, "Mom~ Where are Zhen Yu and the others?"

"They left~" replied Mrs. Qian, none too pleased.

Qian Duoduo frowned, "Why did they leave?"

"I have no idea!" Facing her daughter, Mrs. Qian wouldn’t even bother with a perfunctory response and bluntly said, "Stay away from that Zhen Yu from now on!"

"Why?" Qian Duoduo couldn’t understand.

"She’s young and not well-behaved, getting too close to that Han... whatever..." Mrs. Qian inadvertently spoke her mind, not expecting it to provoke her daughter’s rage.

"Mom!!!" Qian Duoduo roared, "You’re a teacher of the people! Can’t you think before you speak! How old are we? What do you mean by ’not well-behaved’?!"

"Those two kids are puppy lovers!" Mrs. Qian revealed the scene she saw earlier, "They even dared to hold hands in front of me! Who knows what they’re doing when we’re not looking? You better cut her off!"

Qian Duoduo was stunned.

Her mother had no reason to lie to her, so Zhen Yu really held hands with Han Mingyue?

Were they... really in a puppy love relationship?

For some reason, an odd feeling arose in her heart. Qian Duoduo pursed her lips, placed the fruit plate on the table, and without saying a word, returned to her room.

-

Early winter, the indoors was as warm as spring in the northeast, while outside the wind was bitingly cold.

Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue didn’t go far after leaving the Qian Family’s residence. They just waited outside for a moment before Teacher Qian returned.

Even if they were leaving, they wanted to properly thank and say goodbye to the real host who had invited them.

Without much talk, they both gave a formal bow, told the other that they would not come to visit again, and gradually walked away under Teacher Qian’s silent gaze.

-

Inside, Mrs. Qian glanced at her daughter’s room door and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Who was she really doing this for? It was all for her daughter’s well-being...

As she was thinking, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Teacher Qian walked in, bringing with him a chill.

Without saying anything, he took off his coat, placed a box of cold medicine on the table, and collected up all the half-graded papers and pencils used by the three children.

He ignored Mrs. Qian completely and sat back down in his spot to continue grading papers.

Mrs. Qian glanced at her husband. Did he run into those two students outside?

The moment he walked in and gave her the cold shoulder, surely those two must have complained about her!

She knew they were no good! So young and...

A barrage of complaints began in Mrs. Qian’s head, all starting with "So young and..." and they just wouldn’t stop.

-

After Qian Duoduo returned to her room, she sat blankly on the bed.

So Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue left because my mom caught them holding hands?

How could she be so careless!

They could’ve waited to hold hands on the way home!

Why be so impatient as to hold hands in the teacher’s house?

"Ah~ Something feels wrong," Qian Duoduo muttered to herself.

After pondering for a while but still unable to pinpoint the oddity, she lay straight back on the bed, not wanting to think about it anymore.

-

But after a while, her mind drifted back to the matter.

How could Zhen Yu engage in puppy love?

She’s always been so passionate about studying, and so was Han Mingyue, but now look at them! They’re both going down the wrong path.

Through the time they had spent studying together recently, Qian Duoduo increasingly found the boy, Han Mingyue, to be brilliant. He seemed to have an innate ability to stabilize those around him.

Just being near him made one feel at ease, as if no matter the issue, he could take it on for you.

Of course, when the three of them were together, Qian Duoduo’s gaze mostly followed Zhen Yu.

Her female deskmate, despite being stoic and not talkative, somehow managed to make her feel threatened.

A sense that if she didn’t get it together, she would be utterly suppressed by Zhen Yu.

Sometimes, Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but want to sing the "March of the Volunteers" to herself...

"Arise! Ye who refuse to be slaves..."
