Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Ms. Shu
Seeing that I finally got serious and asked her for advice, Shu Tong’s face appeared a flash of joy and relief. Then she took a sip of water. Originally, she wanted to moisturize her throat while pretending to be a very knowledgeable teacher, thus increasing her aura a little and adding a touch of majesty and persuasiveness to the words she was about to say. However, she didn’t expect that she would be choked by the water, and some of the water even came out of her nose. I almost couldn’t help burst out laughing.
“I think it is necessary to enforce supervision,” Blushed, Shu Tong locked Chu Yuan with her majestic gaze. “It is not that I don’t trust Chu Yuan, but I think that Chu Yuan should use her actions to prove it that my suspicion and distrust of you are wrong.”
Shu Tong’s oppressive tone made Chu Yuan hesitate to speak, but she also didn’t know how to refute. Shu Tong turned to me and said, “As Chu Yuan’s teacher, I am responsible for her supervision at school, while as her guardian, I hope Mr. Chu can supervise her at home and pay more attention to her hobbies in her spare time, and… And for example, keep her away from adult stuff…”
Ms. Shu’s pretty face was ruddy. She moved her eyes away from me and said in a tone that had a faint of disdain and disgust. At first, I was confused, but a moment later, I instantly realized what she was thinking. She clearly thought that those dirty DVDs and dirty books are mine!
I instinctively want to refute, but Chu Yuan quickly poked me from behind. I startled, looked sideways, and noticed Chu Yuan was winking at me anxiously. Then I realized that if I denied that those things were mine, Ms. Shu would definitely want to find out the source of that stuff, then Dongfang Lianren and Xiao Yike would be exposed.
d.a.m.n it, for Dongfang Lianren, I had to shoulder the blame. I am clearly innocent!
Ms. Shu paused, seemingly wanting to give me some time to think about my wrongdoing, and then said seriously, “Mr. Chu, I don’t think we can let Chu Yuan make the same mistake again. As the old saying goes, spare the rod and spoil the child. Although I do not condone beating and scolding, this kind of educational method, when necessary, some extreme methods are still effective.”
In the end, what she meant was nothing more than ‘spanking if it is necessary.’ If she didn’t intend to scare Chu Yuan when she said these words in front of Chu Yuan, it could only prove that Ms. Shu was just subjectively rejecting everything that she didn’t accept, which made her as conservative as my old man,…
Conservative? I couldn’t help laughing. No wonder why Dongfang Lianren would call her old fogey.
“I heard Yuanyuan say that Ms. Shu is not her headteacher?”
Shu Tong was confused for a second, “I am her Chinese teacher, what is wrong?…”
“Oh, nothing,” I said quickly. “I just wanted to say thank you for taking so much care of her.”
“You are welcome, I just did my duty as a teacher,” Shu Tong said with a shy smile. “I didn’t tell her headteacher about this matter, after all, it is a shameful thing for a girl.”
“Shameful” this word was like a sword, not only did it hurt Chu Yuan, but it also hurt me as well. Seeing Chu Yuan’s eyes were filled with tears of humiliation, and she was trying so hard not to let the tears drop out, I suddenly felt unrest in my heart. Putting away the sincere grat.i.tude smile, I said lightly: “I am very grateful to Ms. Shu for saving face for Yuanyuan, but the so-called shameful is a bit over the top. I think Ms. Shu is too subjective. Yuanyuan’s collection of those things is not because of curiosity and yearning for s.e.x or unhealthy things like Ms. Shu imagined. Therefore, I am not worried that her learning or her future will be affected by this.”
Shu Tong noticed the change in my att.i.tude. After a moment of shock, her eyes became colder and she said deeply, “I don’t quite understand what Mr. Chu said. In your opinion, a 16-year-old girl collecting adult DVDs and adult books is not a problem? I suggest that you, as a brother, must clearly recognize the difference between caring and spoiling.”
“Whether it is caring or spoiling, I never deny it, and I am proud of it,” Shu Tong had a bit of anger on her face, I waved my hand to prevent her from interrupting me, and continued: “I believe that I know Chu Yuan better than Ms. Shu. She has been a very responsible kid since she was a child and has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. For a little sister who is obedient and sensible and never makes mistakes, I don’t think there is anything wrong with spoiling her a little.”
When I said those words, I blushed a little. Chu Yuan was indeed very well-behaved since childhood, and she also knew how to please our parents. However, I was an expectation… She didn’t lack the ability to judge what was right or wrong, but in her cognition, it was always right to bully her elder brother…
It seemed that she was unreasonable only in matters that had something to do with me, but at this moment, I was arguing with her teacher for her. When I thought about it, I felt baffled, and I didn’t understand why I would get angry because of Ms. Shu’s words.
Chu Yuan also blushed. Actually, her face completely turned red. Probably she did not think that I, who was always bullied by her, would defend her in front of her teacher. However, her face turned red not just because of shame, but there was also panic as well. Anyone could feel that just in a few words, the tension between Shu Tong and me has stretched to its limit.
Shu Tong’s temperament was straightforward, her eyes were fierce like Ultraman’s killer rays, and she almost cut me into eight segments, “You are wrong now…”
“Maybe I am wrong, but not completely wrong. I am sure that I was wrong before, but I am absolutely right now. At this moment, I should believe in Chu Yuan, my little sister, instead of looking at one side and think that this is what she will become in the future and then completely deny her!” I stopped Shu Tong with a smile: “I think there are some things that Ms. Shu doesn’t fully understand. There are other reasons why Chu Yuan would see those things.”
Shu Tong didn’t realize the meaning of my words, bewildered: “Other reasons?”
“Yes, writing, my little sister does not read those things because of interest or curiosity, but in order to write…”
I told Shu Tong about Chu Yuan’s book-writing hobby, and appropriately beautified Chu Yuan. According to my description, in order to pursue the truthfulness and vividness of literature, Chu Yuan sacrificed herself and watched those dirty things. Seeing that this bratty girl gradually raised her head with her back straight as if she was also very proud of herself, I couldn’t help but pinched her thigh.
“Oh, so this is the real reason…” Shu Tong’s expression was relieved a lot, but she still couldn’t let it go completely, “But, Mr. Chu, even if Chu Yuan is doing it for writing, I still think there is something wrong with your way of education!”
This woman is clearly targeting me now! Then she said to Chu Yuan: “Chu Yuan, you can go back to cla.s.s first. I have something to say to your elder brother alone.”
“But…” Chu Yuan looked at me anxiously.
I patted the back of her hand twice and said, “Go ahead, I also want to know more about your school with Ms. Shu.”
Chu Yuan looked at Shu Tong again, then nodded reluctantly, and walked slowly toward the door while looking back from time to time. I knew that she was worried that I would say something wrong, or maybe she was very concerned about the teacher’s evaluation of her.
Shu Tong pulled open the drawer, took out two DVDs and a book with an old cover from the inside, I looked carefully, ‘Holy s.h.i.t! It is the vintage version of The Golden Lotus!’
“Mr. Chu already knows that Chu Yuan collects this kind of thing?”
“About a few weeks ago, when I discovered her hobby of writing.” I did not say that I discovered her embarra.s.sing secret before I knew she liked writing.
“Just because she likes to write, you can support her to see this dirty stuff?”
“What I support is her love of writing, and who said that I support her to collect those things?” I am very dissatisfied with the tone of Shu Tong, but my eyes were involuntarily attracted by the covers of two DVDs…
