Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Not Just the Next Life

"Ding ling ling ling—"

The electronic bell rang, pulling Lin Nianhe back to reality, and she said to Su Yuncheng with a blushed face: "You go sit in the back for now, class is about to start."

Su Yuncheng coughed lightly twice, turned his head, and quickly walked to the last row, sitting down on the bench in the corner.

He stared at the smoothly planed desk without any splinters, only to feel a swarm of words fluttering before his eyes. They tried to form sentences but always failed.

Lin Nianhe, on the other hand, busied herself with organizing her textbooks. She noticed a lunch box on her desk and didn’t know who it belonged to.

She didn’t touch it, waited for a while, then glanced at the time again.

Two minutes had passed since the class bell rang; why hadn’t any of the students in her class returned?

Even if the others played too much, Niuwa would definitely come back on time.

Lin Nianhe furrowed her brows slightly and crossed her arms, stepping out of the classroom, intending to give these wildly playing little bastards a lesson they would never forget.

"One two one... one two one..."

On the playground, the first graders were lined up in two lines, following Wen Lan and chanting while they ran.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

She was wrong.

How could there be any students in her class who played until they forgot about class!

It must be the PE teacher who held them back!

Lin Nianhe stood at the entrance of the classroom, quietly apologizing to the kids in her heart and quietly rejoicing—fortunately, she didn’t shout out loud, or else she really would have frightened the little ones.

"PE class?"

Su Yuncheng’s voice sounded from behind Lin Nianhe.

"Ah?" Lin Nianhe was startled, patted her chest, and turned back to look at him, "How come you walk without making a sound?"

"I’m sorry." Su Yuncheng immediately apologized, without any intention to explain.

Lin Nianhe’s cheeks turned slightly red, she used the back of her hand to cover her mouth, and coughed lightly twice before saying: "Yes, PE class, I forgot about it."

She was also muddled from the fever, having forgotten that the first session this afternoon was PE.

Su Yuncheng said: "Then you sit, and tell me how to move the desks."

"I can do it with you."

"No need."

As Su Yuncheng spoke, he held her shoulder, guiding her to sit down behind the teacher’s desk, while he rolled up his sleeves himself.

Lin Nianhe indeed didn’t have much strength and simply stopped being politely insistent with him. Resting her chin on one hand, she directed: "I was thinking of pushing the unused desks to the back of the classroom, against the wall, so we could use them later to place books or other things."

"Okay."

Su Yuncheng easily lifted the desks and arranged them neatly against the wall one by one.

Since Bai Xiaojun also joined the first grade, their original count of twelve students became thirteen, using seven desks. The remaining three desks and bookshelf were neatly placed at the back of the classroom.

This bit of work was not really work at all for Su Yuncheng; Lin Nianhe took a sip of water and by the time she finished, he had already done everything.

The classroom’s desks and chairs were meticulously wiped clean by the duty students every day, so they were very clean, and Su Yuncheng’s hands did not get any dust on them after moving the desks.

Yet, he still made the motion of dusting off, slowly walking toward Lin Nianhe’s desk.

Lin Nianhe looked up at him and pushed her cup towards him: "Want a drink?"

Su Yuncheng shook his head, rested one hand on the edge of the desk, and gazed down at her.

Lin Nianhe’s heartbeat sped up under his gaze.

He couldn’t be having a professional reflex, thinking of arresting her on charges of hooliganism, could he?

Lin Nianhe let her thoughts run wild.

"Nianhe."

"Present!"

Su Yuncheng: "..."

Luckily, he was professionally trained, otherwise, he really would have forgotten what he originally wanted to say.

He tried his best to convince himself to ignore Lin Nianhe’s nervous and awkward gaze, cleared his throat, and said, "I have a few reports to write, I can’t stay too long."

"Yeah," Lin Nianhe nodded vigorously, put down her pen, and was about to stand up, "then I’ll walk you out."

"No need." Su Yuncheng pressed her shoulders, guiding her to sit back down, "I’ll go by myself, you should rest well, and remember to take your medicine tonight."

Lin Nianhe nodded her head, exceptionally obedient: "Okay, I’ll remember."

"Don’t make dinner yourself. If you pair up with someone else, remember to bring your own food."

"Okay, I know."

"It’s cold in the mornings and evenings. School at the village doesn’t start that early, so sleep in a bit more in the morning, and remember to put on an extra coat when you head out."

"Okay, don’t worry."

Su Yuncheng looked at her for a while longer, unable to think of anything else to remind her, then he finally turned and walked towards the door.

Reaching the edge of the door, he stopped his footsteps.

Lin Nianhe watched him, and seeing him pause, she instinctively called out: "Brother Yuncheng?"

"Nianhe."

Su Yuncheng turned his head back.

He was backlit, and Lin Nianhe couldn’t see his expression clearly.

All she heard him say was—

"Not just in the next life."

By the time Lin Nianhe figured out the meaning of his words, the person by the door had already left, and all she could hear was the cheerful sound of the bicycle fading farther and farther away.

Lin Nianhe widened her eyes in disbelief: "Was I just flirted with?"

This, this, this...

Did Su Yuncheng hit his head and have an epiphany last time during the mission?

This question kept Lin Nianhe baffled until the end of class.

Physical education is probably the students’ favorite subject. After washing their hands, they didn’t continue to enjoy the ten-minute break. Instead, they swarmed back into the classroom, surrounding Lin Nianhe.

"Teacher Lin, are you feeling better?"

"Teacher Lin, did the injection hurt? Did you cry?"

"Teacher Lin, we were very well-behaved yesterday..."

Lin Nianhe smiled and rubbed each of the children’s heads, asking about the content Principal Wu had taught yesterday, then happily listened to their chatter.

Niuwa squeezed through the crowd, looked up at the lunchbox on Lin Nianhe’s desk and asked: "Teacher Hehe, haven’t you opened your lunchbox?"

Lin Nianhe then recalled, tapping the lunchbox with her fingertips and asking: "Oh, whose lunchbox is this?"

The children’s faces reddened, and they nudged and pushed each other back, none willing to speak up first.

It was still Niuwa who looked at Lin Nianhe with his crescent-moon eyes and said: "Teacher Hehe, just open it and see."

Seeing their reactions, Lin Nianhe couldn’t help but feel some anticipation.

She took the lunchbox and opened it carefully.

Inside the lunchbox, there were pine nuts, hazelnuts, a few bright red hawthorns, and two eggs.

Lin Nianhe could tell that the pine nuts, hazelnuts, and hawthorns were picked from the mountains, but the eggs...

She asked: "Did you all find these?"

Niuwa smiled and nodded: "We picked them last night while gathering pig feed in the mountains. Oh right, the eggs are from Sister Cailan in the third grade, she asked me to give them to you."

Lin Nianhe was taken aback, then she smiled.

So it was Xiao Cailan.

She closed the lid of the lunchbox and rubs their small heads again, sincerely thanking them: "Thank you, you all worked hard."

The kids each broke into smiles, some approaching Lin Nianhe to talk, others shyly twisting their bodies and running back to their seats.

The hubbub in the classroom continued until the class bell rang.

Lin Nianhe laughed and ushered them back to their seats, then took up the language arts textbook according to the lesson plan and walked up to the podium.

"Teacher, why don’t you sit and teach?"

"Yeah, yeah, just sit down."

"My mom said, if you’re sick, you have to rest; otherwise, let’s have another PE class!"

Lin Nianhe: "I know you all want to have PE class, but let’s put that thought aside for now."
