At the entrance of the Twelfth Middle School."I"m entering. See you later."
After parking the car, Lin Wu waved to Pei Jianin before closing the door and heading into the school.
This wasn"t the first time Lin Wu was subst.i.tuting for his father. After all, as a student from a university, it wasn"t difficult for him to give lessons to senior high school students occasionally. Sometimes, his father would ask Lin Wu to subst.i.tute him for free if he encountered any urgent matters.
However, Lin Wu didn"t see a lot of students at the Twelfth Middle School today.
After all, it was the school holiday now. Only the poor soph.o.m.ores who were about to go to their third year, with only one year before their college examination, had to come back for extra tuition.
Many years ago, Lin Wu was also a student at this school. He was naturally very familiar with the campus"s environment.
He decided to head to his father"s office first, which was located on the third floor of the research building. The majority of the teachers here were the teacher-in-charge of the soph.o.m.ore cla.s.ses.
The interior of the teaching office was considered quite s.p.a.cious. Each compartment had an office table, and there was even an automated water dispenser and air conditioning here. Not many people were around, most probably, most of them had gone to teach their cla.s.ses.
Lin Wu walked to his father"s desk. Before arriving at his destination, a teacher nearby inclined his head and glanced at him. He involuntarily smiled. "Eh, you are Lin Wu, right?"
"h.e.l.lo, Teacher Xu." Lin Wu politely nodded. Although this teacher had never taught him before, his relations.h.i.+p with his father wasn"t bad.
Teacher Xu lifted his teacup and drank a mouthful. He glanced at the time and spoke, "The students are about to end their first lesson. You should quickly go and prepare. Did your father give you the lesson plan?"
"He did, I"ve read it."
Lin Wu nodded and took out the lesson plan to glance at it. A moment later, he couldn"t help but feel a headache coming.
d.a.m.n, he had to refresh his senior-year chemistry knowledge in advance?
All his chemistry knowledge had long since been forgotten. He only remembered a question where "A" and "B" could be converted to each other. When boiling "B", it would generate "C". "C" would transform into "D" from oxidation when in the air, and "D" had a low-concentration hydrogen sulfide smell. By calculating like this, "A" was a chicken, "B" was a chicken egg, "C" was a boiled egg, and "D" was a spoiled egg.
He had forgotten all those chemical reaction equations, so it was better for him not to mislead the students.
Swish~
Lin Wu closed the lesson plan and tossed it onto the desk, deciding to give up. After that, he searched through his father"s desk, and his eyes involuntarily brightened as he found a large number of soph.o.m.ore-level mock examination papers.
He then searched again and found a large number of new-standard chemistry examination papers.
"Good stuff."
Lin Wu sat down joyfully. A moment later, he felt extremely relaxed.
Yes, yes, he was more relaxed now. He had a lesson in the morning and another lesson in the afternoon. The students could just do these two sets of papers.
Oh ya, for their homework tonight, he should arrange them to do two more mock papers. In any case, the students had nothing to do during the holiday.
Lin Wu had a smile on his face as he tidied the papers. Later on during the lesson, he would give out the papers, and he only needed to be a proctor. He could even play games on his phone.
Teacher Xu at the side seemed to have discovered Lin Wu"s intention. He asked, "Lin Wu, you are not going to let those students do these papers, right?"
"Yup, I am."
Lin Wu nodded and spoke with a straight face, "No matter how many lessons they sit through, it cannot be compared to the practicality of doing mock papers. Oh yes, has my dad arranged the holiday homework for them yet?"
"Logical…" Teacher Xu"s lips twitched; he knew that this brat wanted to laze around. "Your father has already arranged holiday homework for them, you don"t need to worry about this…"
"Oh, that"s a pity then. I remembered during the holiday of my soph.o.m.ore year, my father got me to do mock papers of two subjects. In the end, I did a total of over sixty mock papers. It"s really suitable to get the students to do this during their summer vacation." Lin Wu sighed in pity.
"…"
Teacher Xu was speechless. (You brat, you are here to get revenge for what happened back then, right?)
A moment later, the first lesson"s dismissal bell rang.
Lin Wu went to pour a cup of water. He then sat securely in the office chair and played with his mobile phone leisurely, waiting for the bell signaling the start of the lesson before he entered the cla.s.sroom.
Not long later, a female student with a ponytail walked into the office and came before Lin Wu"s office desk. She couldn"t help but start as she asked, "Where is Teacher Lin?"
Lin Wu turned over and surveyed her. He couldn"t help but smile. "Oh it"s you, you have grown up. I remember you are the representative of the cla.s.s, right?"
"A handsome guy?"
The girl in the ponytail was astonished and then recognized Lin Wu as well. After all, it wasn"t the first time Lin Wu was subst.i.tuting for his father.
"My dad has some matters he needed to settle, hence I"m here to subst.i.tute for him." Lin Wu then pointed to a stack of papers on the desk. "Count the mock papers. Later on when the cla.s.s starts, give them out to the students. You guys will be doing the mock papers during the lesson."
"..." The ponytail girl could only nod and obediently began to count the papers.
After drinking a mouthful of water, Lin Wu suddenly asked, "Oh ya, is there a student named Pei Jianing in the cla.s.s?"
The girl started slightly. "Yes, there was. But I think that she has already transferred schools? It has been a month since she last came here."
No one knew that Pei Jianing had died due to a car accident?
Lin Wu silently had some guesses in his heart. It seemed that when she was alive, Pei Jianing didn"t have many friends. If not, it would be impossible that no one knew that she had died.
"Hmm, I remember that when I came here at the beginning of last year, I had never seen her either." Lin Wu was puzzled.
His memory wasn"t bad, especially if it was such a little charming beauty like Pei Jianing. With her raven black hair that was tied in two ponytails, her eyes that were slightly larger than normal, and her two cute tiger teeth, comparatively, she was quite unique.
If he had met her before, it would be impossible for him not to have any impression.
"Mn, Pei Jianing transferred over to our school during the soph.o.m.ore year, after you subst.i.tuted." The girl nodded. "Maybe, she transferred away already? Previously, I"ve also asked Zhang Yuqing, but she said that she has no idea."
"Zhang Yuqing?" Lin Wu didn"t know the names of these students.
"Yup, she was the closest with Pei Jianing and often went to school together. She seems to be Pei Jianing"s only friend in the cla.s.s," the girl said.
The only friend?
Lin Wu"s heart stirred. He involuntarily asked, "Is Pei Jianing"s relations.h.i.+p with others very bad? She has been here almost a year, right? How come she only has a single friend?"
"This…"
The ponytail girl seemed as though she didn"t know how to tell him. She helplessly continued, "She seemed to be an orphan, and her personality was slightly toward the cold side. It was very rare for her to interact with people. Other than the guys, none of the other girls like her…"
"Because she"s pretty?" Lin Wu involuntarily laughed. This bunch of brats.
"No…" The ponytail girl hesitated. But she still said, "The main thing was that her behavior wasn"t too good."
Lin Wu glanced at her. "Behavior?"
"Mn, she stole some things from a student in the cla.s.s before."
"She stole?" Lin Wu frowned. He didn"t feel that Pei Jianing would do something like this.
The girl continued in a low voice, "Yea, back then, Xia Bing"s handphone was stolen by her. She had refused to admit it, but the guys in the cla.s.s didn"t believe it. In the end, the phone was found in her bag."
"Xia Bing…(ice)?"
Lin Wu"s expression changed. Previously, Pei Jianing said "kill...ice(bing)". That should be the name of a person. In that case, could it be this student named Xia Bing?
"Who is Xia Bing?" Lin Wu continued to ask.
"Handsome teacher, you should remember her. Xia Bing is quite beautiful. She has a tall figure and slightly dark skin. Before Pei Jianing came, she should be the most beautiful student in our cla.s.s," the ponytail girl spoke.
Even a female was willing to admit that the other female was more beautiful. It seemed that this Xia Bing"s charm wasn"t low.
Lin Wu carefully recalled his memories, from his impressions, there really was a beautiful girl whose height had almost reached him. Her skin was indeed a little dark.
"Oh, so she is Xia Bing." Lin Wu nodded. He then asked again, "Is her relations.h.i.+p with Pei Jianing very bad?"
"Mn…" The ponytail girl nodded silently. There was a heavy look on her face as she continued, "Also, Xia Bing died already. She unexpectedly fell from the balcony at the top floor, and even her legs were broken. After that, she was sent to the hospital, but they weren"t able to save her."
Her legs were broken?
Lin Wu"s heart stirred. It seemed like this Xia Bing was the person Pei Jianing had mentioned before.
