Chapter 44 I Can Also Keep My Mouth Closed
"Which bastard snitched on me?!"
Ye Kai looked furious, his chest heaving as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Don't get agitated."
"Have a sip of water first, and calm yourself down."
Old Wang was startled by Ye Kai's strong reaction. He thought to himself, "Why is this kid reacting so strongly? It's just a heart-to-heart talk with the teacher about his love life, is it really that big of a deal?"
"Gulp gurgle—"
Ye opened the paper cup; the water temperature was just right.
Just then, the chicken leg he had eaten earlier was a bit too salty, and he was actually quite thirsty. Old Wang was a timely help this time, so I'll give him a thumbs up.
But in his heart, he was wondering who the tattletale in the class was.
Although this matter doesn't have much impact on him, and Shen Jiayi probably doesn't care about how others define their relationship, and is even somewhat optimistic, being reported to the homeroom teacher is simply disgusting.
"Although...but..."
"Youth is a long journey. Cherish your time, invest in yourself, and don't waste this wonderful time for a momentary thrill. You should know that the flowers of early love often do not bear fruit, and there will be better scenery waiting for you in the future."
"In this matter, the teacher is reminding you with good intentions, knowing that you are a responsible young person with a high level of maturity, which is why the teacher chose to have an open and honest discussion with you about this topic."
"Both you and Shen Jiayi are students I value highly and have high hopes for."
"I don't necessarily want you to distance yourselves, but I hope that in these eighty days before the college entrance examination, you can handle this issue rationally, grasp the relationship between the two, transform this vague feeling into mutual motivation to strive for progress, and work together to create excellent results."
"Do you think I've made myself clear?"
Old Wang has a wealth of experience as a homeroom teacher. His words were not meant to force Ye Kai to do something against his will, but rather to praise him and hope that he would handle his relationship with Shen Jiayi in a stable and rational manner, so as not to affect his academic performance or cause emotional fluctuations that would negatively impact their grades.
"Although...but..."
"Teacher, your intentions are certainly good, but my relationship with Shen Jiayi is completely innocent..."
"Don't believe everything you hear."
"In this day and age, the relationship between the sexes is very different from that of the past. It is obviously outdated to view the interpersonal relationships of today's youth with outdated ideas."
Ye Kai felt it was really necessary to explain the real-world significance of the term "generation gap" to Lao Wang.
He has always believed that it is utterly incomprehensible that some people's thinking remains stuck in the 18th century, even after humanity has entered the internet age.
"Don't give me that nonsense, I need you to have a clear stance."
"There are some things I'm too embarrassed to say outright. Do you think the only thing people have mentioned about me is your relationship with Shen Jiayi?"
"It's just that Chen Xiaoyu isn't a student in our class, and you rarely interact with her at school, so I don't need to specifically emphasize your relationship with her."
Old Wang curled his lip, clearly not agreeing with Ye Kai's self-righteousness, and directly undermined him by bringing up the ambiguous relationship between him and Chen Xiaoyu.
"Me and Chen Xiaoyu?"
"That's even more absurd!"
"It's true that we're childhood friends, but we haven't spoken for years. If it weren't for what happened at Jinwu Mountain... well, let's not talk about it..."
Ye Kai blurted out the words "Golden Crow Mountain," but Old Wang covered his mouth.
Clearly, the Jinwu Mountain incident is a taboo subject at school, and everyone is reluctant to mention it.
Although Chen Xiaoyu appeared at school unharmed, five or six of the twenty-odd students who were traveling with her were still recovering at home.
"So, which bastard snitched on me?"
Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but ask Old Wang for more information.
Most people don't really know the relationship between Ye Kai and Chen Xiaoyu. At most, they only see that Chen Xiaoyu gave Ye Kai a birthday cake today. The guy who can connect this to the fact that his relationship with Chen Xiaoyu is unusual is really something.
The thought of sharing a classroom with such a person, having his every move observed and reported to the teacher, made Ye Kai feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't ask that."
"You're dating two school beauties at the same time, and you don't even allow the male classmates to be hostile towards you?"
"Where is justice?!"
Old Wang shook his head repeatedly, his face showing disbelief and absolute impossibility.
If he were to reveal his informants, not only would Ye Kai likely retaliate, but he would also likely find it difficult to obtain crucial intelligence from the students in the future.
Oh, this guy is a man.
Ye Kai understood what Old Wang meant.
"Tell me about it, I'm not planning to confront him directly."
"There are only eighty days left until the college entrance exam. Nobody wants any unexpected trouble, right? I just want to know who is jealous of me."
"Otherwise, I'll feel resentful, which might affect my performance in the college entrance exam."
Ye Kai quickly came up with a plan to threaten Old Wang.
For Lao Wang, ensuring that there are no problems with the college entrance examination and that Shen Jiayi and Ye Kai can both be admitted to 985 universities is the most politically correct thing to do right now.
"If I tell you this person's name, are you sure you can control your emotions, avoid causing trouble, and keep quiet?"
Old Wang picked up his large teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and then slowly asked in return.
"Of course I can keep quiet."
Ye Kai had no intention of retaliating; he simply wanted to find out who this person was so that he could keep his distance from them in the future.
He's not some kind of devil, so why is Old Wang so wary of him?
"You can keep your mouth shut."
"Me too."
Old Wang took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with a smile.
Eek—
Ye Kai rolled his eyes, not expecting Old Wang to play this trick on him. He felt quite helpless; he couldn't very well grab him by the neck and interrogate him.
It's still necessary to respect the dignity of teachers.
"If I don't give up, it will really affect my grades."
"I said it."
Before leaving, Ye Kai couldn't help but threaten Lao Wang again.
"this……"
"Your Chinese language skills are quite good. Take a look at this essay... How is it?"
Upon hearing this, Old Wang's face began to contort. Finally, he pulled out a paper from a thick stack of papers on his desk and handed it to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai took it and glanced at the names written on the paper.
Cao Wenxuan?
Okay, I understand!
