“What’s your name? Which class are you from?” The Devil Teacher’s glare landed on Peach who was standing next to Shen Mochen. Extremely petite, Peach still looked like an elementary school student with an apprehensive expression on her face.
“Uh… Peach Su… Grade Seven Class Two…” As Peach was a little nervous, she grasped Shen Mochen’s clothes tightly.
Of course, the Devil Teacher’s eyes naturally caught sight of this scene. Frowning, she said solemnly, “Seventh Grade? We just had the welcome assembly for new students this morning. Wasn’t it mentioned that studying should be your priority in school? Who is your form teacher?”
“Mr. Zhao Guang…” Peach’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s.
“Mr. Zhao?” The Devil Teacher pondered for a long time, before looking at them with a clear gaze and saying, “I know Mr. Zhao. He is usually kind and friendly, and does not overly concern himself with how students interact with each other. But I’m not like that. Since I saw both of you today, your parents will have to come down to my office tomorrow morning. ”
“Eh?” Peach looked at her in shock.
Shen Mochen kept mum, his face still expressionless.
“What do you mean ‘Eh’? The seeds of puppy love have to be nipped in the bud!” Glaring sternly at them, the Devil Teacher said to Shen Mochen, “You will also have to invite your parents. Don’t think that I will close one eye simply because you are the top scorer in your level. Precisely because you are an excellent student, you have to pay more attention to these aspects. Both of you are still young. If you start dating, you will be distracted and will not be able to focus on your studies. Won’t you be letting your parents down?”
“I understand.” Shen Mochen’s tone started growing impatient as he replied, “My father will be punctual at the Students’ Affairs Office tomorrow morning. Can we leave now?”
“…” Before the Devil Teacher could respond, Shen Mochen had dragged Peach, who was petrified, and left directly.
“Kids these days!” The Devil Teacher sighed helplessly. She had often heard that Shen Mochen was not easy to get along with. Little did she expect that he was a child with a strong personality. When she saw him delivering his speech on stage in the morning, he was still smiling pleasantly. However, privately, it turned out that he was very indifferent.
Scared out of her wits, Peach followed Shen Mochen home. Little did they know that after they left, the whole second-year building had erupted into a huge uproar. Not only did Shen Mochen have a girlfriend, but they were also caught red-handed by the Devil Teacher. The news spread like a spring breeze passing through the Earth, spreading across the entire grade.
“Husband, what should we do?” Peach looked at Shen Mochen with tears welling up in her eyes. Her father had left for a business trip after bringing her to report to school the day before, and her mother was not going to be home the next few days. Hence, she was left alone at home and would go over to Shen Mochen’s house for dinner. Fortunately, the two families were separated only by a door in the living room, and going to each other’s house was just a matter of opening the door and walking through.
“What do you mean what should we do?” Shen Mochen was sitting at his desk, scribbling down the answers for his mathematics assignment.
Wringing her hands, Peach said pitifully, “About asking our parents to meet the teacher. My parents are not even at home.”
“Oh.” Shen Mochen nodded expressionlessly, before continuing to do his homework, showing that he had absolutely no intention of continuing the conversation.
“Hey, don’t ignore me. If you didn’t ask me to wait for you at the door of your classroom today after school, we wouldn’t have been caught by the Devil Teacher…”
