Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Inconceivable

He had just taken a step when suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind, the tone hesitant, "Han Mingyue?"

It was Zhen Yu! A sense of dread welled up in Han Mingyue.

Han Mingyue silently clenched his fist, weighing in his heart whether it was better to turn around as if nothing had happened or to pretend not to hear and go straight into the office.

If possible, he wished he could just evaporate on the spot.

His pride wouldn’t allow the awkward side of himself to be seen by a girl engrossed in her own youthful concerns, yet he was helpless.

Han Mingyue stiffened and stood in place for a few seconds before Zhen Yu quickly stepped forward and dragged him outside.

"What are you doing?" Han Mingyue was startled and just about to shake off her hand but then hesitated, reluctantly turning to follow Zhen Yu’s pace.

"Class is about to start." Zhen Yu stated calmly as if it were a very normal thing.

Han Mingyue: "..."

Knowing that he should reveal the truth about being punished to stand, yet he couldn’t speak out, thus he was helplessly dragged by Zhen Yu towards the school building.

Along the way, Zhen Yu silently let go of his hand and continued to walk briskly forward.

But Han Mingyue’s steps grew heavier, slowing down more and more.

Realizing something was amiss, Zhen Yu turned back and decisively grabbed him and started running, briskly pulling Han Mingyue to the door of the Junior High School Second Class, opening it and pushing him inside.

-

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zhen Yu dusted off her hands where there was actually no dust.

Luckily it was deep winter so no students were playing on the playground, and the teachers were all hibernating in their classrooms; otherwise, the sight of their frantic running would have been seen by everyone.

Running like a fool, how embarrassing it would have been if someone saw! Zhen Yu thought to herself as she briskly turned back towards the Junior High School First Class classroom.

The reason she had been there was because Bai Xue had come looking for her as soon as class was over.

It took Bai Xue a bit of time to explain what happened, so Zhen Yu was a little late getting there.

On her way there, she kept thinking about how to prevent Han Mingyue from feeling embarrassed while also getting him back, and she only came up with this idea of pretending to be deaf.

It was the first time Zhen Yu had heard that Teacher Shen was Shen Qi’s aunt.

Because last time in her first year of junior high school, she had started living at the school right from the start of the term, no longer commuting to and from school with her friends and being in different classes, she gradually lost touch with everyone.

As for the histories involving Teacher Shen, naturally no one would go out of their way to tell her.

-

According to what Bai Xue said today, no matter how they looked at it, it appeared that Han Mingyue was being deliberately targeted.

Zhen Yu also had this feeling, but why?

Han Mingyue, being such an outstanding student, what kind of teacher would dislike him?

It was simply inconceivable!

Unable to figure out the reason, Zhen Yu simply set the cause aside.

As for Han Mingyue going back to the classroom for the lesson, Zhen Yu felt, could they really just let Han Mingyue keep standing in the hallway?

Not to mention being observed by everyone passing by, with people coming and going, the door would be frequently opened and closed.

The cold wind howled in from outside, while the radiator at the end of the hallway emitted heat.

If he were to stand in such a spot where cold and heat meet and occasionally blasts of cold wind blew for an entire class period, it would be odd if he didn’t catch a cold!

Teacher Shen truly wanted to give Han Mingyue a hard time; whether he stood or not, she wouldn’t rest content.

Why then should she let Han Mingyue suffer even more!

Let’s wait and see how things unfold...

-

Sure enough, right after a math lesson ended, Bai Xue came looking for Zhen Yu again.

"Zhen Yu! Zhen Yu, come out quickly!"

The beautiful Bai Xue peeked around anxiously at the doorway of the Junior High School First Class classroom, causing a commotion among a group of youngsters.

Zhen Yu swiftly stood up and hurried out with quick steps.

"How is it?"

"Han Mingyue was called away by Teacher Shen again!"

The Siying School had already canceled the long recesses in winter; The break time was also reduced to only ten minutes just like usual, all in favor of letting students off early in the evening.

"Who called her? Where is the person?"

"She called herself~ She was just at the class in junior high school second class, and she passed by our class after the class..."

Zhen Yu didn’t listen any further; she started running because she could guess what happened next. It must be that Teacher Shen passed by their class and directly asked Han Mingyue to come with her, and Han Mingyue obediently followed.

Zhen Yu ran all the way to the teachers’ office building but suddenly felt a bit timid standing outside.

If he was punished to stand again, what excuse could she find to take him away this time? Would he still come with her?

-

Never mind~ Let’s find the person first!

Zhen Yuxin made up her mind and resolutely stepped inside.

The corridor was empty; Zhen Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to move, she heard a sharp and harsh female voice emanating from the office to the right of the corridor, "Look, look~ This is what they call a good student! Does well in academics and acts all high and mighty, even worse than the poor students in discipline!"

Followed by that voice, there were disputes from both men and women.

"Is it really him who left on his own?"

"Of course~ I never thought he would be so frivolous deep down~" Teacher Shen’s voice always lifted slightly at the end, which usually didn’t seem like much, but now it carried a distinct tone of sarcasm and mockery.

"How could he disregard the teacher’s orders like this?"

"If he refuses to be disciplined, we must contact his parents!"

"Of course, we have to! Ignoring the teacher’s words, I have never seen such a student before!" Teacher Shen said decisively, "You just go home for now! If your parents don’t come to school today, don’t bother coming to class tomorrow!"

A male teacher with a more gentle voice tried to appease, "Perhaps he thinks that attending class is more important! This precisely shows that the child truly loves studying from the bottom of his heart..."

However, his voice was quickly drowned out by other blaming voices.

Zhen Yu’s face darkened as she listened, and finally, with a clenched jaw, she turned and knocked on the office door on her left.

-

"Come in."

Zhen Yu pushed the door and entered; Teacher Cao, who had just finished a math lesson, was indeed present.

"Is there something?" Teacher Cao, seeing it was Zhen Yu, casually asked.

There were other teachers in the office, but since she was a student from his own class, it must be something concerning him.

"Teacher! Please come with me!" Zhen Yu couldn’t care less, and tugged at her homeroom teacher’s sleeve.

Teacher Cao discretely glanced at the other teachers who were all ears and, as sharp as a tac, understood that Zheng Yu’s matter couldn’t be discussed in front of other teachers.

He compliantly stood up, and Zhen Yu immediately let go of his sleeve and headed out of the office.

As soon as Teacher Cao closed the office door, Zhen Yu hurriedly said, "Teacher, the second year Junior High student Han Mingyue, during the first break, I was the one who pulled him back to class. Could you please go explain to Teacher Shen?"

Teacher Cao was momentarily stunned and asked, "What?"

Zhen Yu quickly explained, "Teacher Shen is in the office and she’s demanding that Han Mingyue go home to fetch his parents before he can attend class, can you please help? We can ask the parents to come tonight or tomorrow!"

Luckily, Teacher Cao is a math teacher, whose logical thinking was truly impeccable; he quickly deduced the whole scenario just from inference.
