Chapter 242: Chapter 235: Puppy Love Problem
“Act like an adult, my foot,” Tang Yuxin instantly pulled up her blanket and covered her face.
“Hey…” Xu Miaomiao tugged Tang Yuxin’s blanket, “Don’t go to sleep, talk with me.”
“I’d be damned if I want to chat with you.”
“Hey…” Xu Miaomiao gave Tang Yuxin another nudge, “I can’t sleep, I need someone to talk to.”
“If you can’t sleep, scratch the wall.”
Tang Yuxin blurted this out, she was going to sleep now, she didn’t care if someone else couldn’t. It’s not like she was the one with insomnia.
Xu Miaomiao had no choice but to pout and return to her room. She then raised her claw-like hand and started scratching the wall. The feeling wasn’t bad though, so she just kept scratching…
The next day, while Xu’s mom was tidying up the room, she noticed several marks on the wall and puzzled over their origin. They weren’t there yesterday.
Tang Yuxin scoped out Chen Lidong’s face. She hadn’t really noticed before, but now she saw some similarities between Lidong and Miaomiao, especially in their eyes. Perhaps their close relationship was not just because they hung out often. They were, after all, family.
“Hey, why are you staring at me like that?” Chen Lidong touched his face and took a step back, as if Tang Yuxin was some pervert.
“Although you’re good-looking and studious, we’re not a good match.”
He wouldn’t dare to be with a woman like Tang Yuxin – she was abrasive, cold, and too smart. Borderline crazy.
Marrying a woman like her would mean no hope for his own advancement in life.
Tang Yuxin turned around, got to her seat, and didn’t even bother to respond to Chen Liteng’s questions. She would rather be a spinster her entire life than to like someone like Lidong.
They are just not each other’s type. Perhaps they could be described as childhood sweethearts, but as far as Yuxin was concerned, Lidong was just a child. A child who had grown up, but next to him, she felt old.
As she touched her face, Tang Yuxin sighed gently. In her lifetime, did she really have to marry an old man in order to feel age-balanced? But she knew that if she married an old man, her dad would definitely break her legs.
“Hey, what’s wrong with her?”
Chen Lidong tugged at Xu Miaomiao’s sleeve and pointed at the seated Tang Yuxin.
“This early in the morning and she’s acting all weird. She didn’t eat something bad last night, did she?”
“Nope,” Xu Miaomiao raised her eyes. She wouldn’t reveal this embarrassing situation. If Tang Yuxin lost face, she would too.
“Ah…” Li Lidong sighed, “This is the trouble with women, every month has those few days…”
“Buzz off!” Xu Miaomiao kicked Chen Lidong furiously.
Chen Lidong bit his lip, not daring to say a word. He feared this young cousin would go home and tattle on him. His father always had the philosophy of being hard on boys but lenient on girls.
Meanwhile, they had no idea that a teacher walking by had seen this scene.
Tang Yuxin was more than a little disturbed by the episode of lovers becoming siblings and felt distressed for a few days. But the two of them were back to their old playful ways. The fact that they had known from birth that they were actually siblings meant that they could never be lovers. They had grown up together, their relationship was closer than most siblings.
Meanwhile, in the principal’s office of the school…
Teacher Song was going on and on about high school student dating issue, her spittle flying onto the face of Teacher Jin who was standing not far across from her.
“In our school, we must firmly resist the problem of student dating. Firstly, we’ll ignore the ones with poor academic performance. I don’t want this kind of atmosphere to spread in the school and then affect other good students.”
And her veiled criticisms were becoming increasingly obvious.
The principal coughed awkwardly, clearly feeling the discomfort. After all, the poor students were either ones he had allowed with a wave of his hand or accepted due to some personal relations.
As for the students dating issue, he did agree with it.
The school must eradicate such behavior. They are all still children, children who need to go to university. Their future is still uncertain and should not be ruined by a premature, innocent romance.
“Teacher Jin!” Teacher Song suddenly turned to Teacher Jin, “As the teacher of Class 1, why don’t you manage your students well, letting these boys and girls flirt around all day. Does your class give up on further study, so you want to ruin other classes’ students?”
Teacher Jin was taken aback, this was how Teacher Song planned to bring her into the picture?
And Teacher Song’s target was so obvious, she accused everyone except Teacher Jin, If Teacher Jin still couldn’t see it then she must be really naive.
This whole thing was just Teacher Song’s ploy to target Teacher Jin. Song wanted to take advantage of this situation to undermine Jin. They were jealous of Jin, whose parents were university professors, and who had followed an easy path since childhood. Jin had even entered this school as a public teacher and also had a good husband.
But what about Teacher Song? Her family background was average, and her current position was achieved through hard work. Even at 28, she was still unmarried. Clearly, she was superior to Teacher Jin in every way, but why did Jin get to stay in school?
There’s also a fact that nobody knew.
She was in love with Teacher Jin’s husband. Therefore, she wanted Jin’s husband to realize how worthless Jin was as a wife. Even though she didn’t have a good family background, she would through her efforts and determined climbing get to the position she wanted.
So over the years, she’d been more and more aggressive towards Jin and had constantly tried to out-do Jin in every aspect of her life.
To prove her worth to others, and to prove her value to that man. But how could others understand these unmentionable desires and sordid thoughts?
Teacher Jin was stunned by Song’s accusations.
“Teacher Song, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Although the students in my class may not be academically strong, they have a good character. What you said cannot happen in our class.”
