The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 317 - The So-Called Weakness

Chapter 317: The So-Called Weakness

Yan Jinyu smiled. “Alright, thank you, Teacher.”

Seeing that she had agreed, Hu Chengcheng was overjoyed. She read the content on the blackboard once. She spoke a little slowly and finished it in one go. She read the 30 words in two segments.

It could be said that she took very good care of Yan Jinyu. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up.

Fortunately, she managed to keep up.

She kept up with both segments.

Hearing Yan Jinyu’s p.r.o.nunciation, Hu Chengcheng’s eyes lit up. She was excited and also a little proud.

Staring at Yan Jinyu, her eyes lit up. “Your p.r.o.nunciation is very standard!”

“Thank you, Teacher.” Yan Jinyu smiled. She was neither arrogant nor rash, as if the person being praised wasn’t her.

This made Hu Cheng doubt herself.

Wasn’t her praise obvious enough? Why didn’t the child look affected?

“Teacher, can I sit down now?”

Hu Chengcheng was stunned and quickly said, “Please.” She regretted it after saying that. She still had something to say.

After pondering for a moment, she still said, “Yan Jinyu, your p.r.o.nunciation is of very high standard. You seem to be very talented in the language. Although I probably can’t teach you much since you’re taking the college entrance examination in less than three months, I still hope that you can listen carefully in cla.s.s.”

“You don’t have to put too much pressure on yourself or demand that you learn as much as you can. Just listen.”

Her tone wasn’t harsh. It sounded like she was coaxing a child.

“Alright, Teacher.”

After that, she didn’t play games for the entire cla.s.s. Although she mostly stared out of the window in a daze and only occasionally looked at the blackboard, Hu Chengcheng was very satisfied.

Hu Chengcheng thought to herself, The princ.i.p.al and the dean have even repeatedly instructed them that Yan Jinyu is a person they can’t afford to provoke. If she doesn’t want to listen to them in cla.s.s, they should let her be.

Now, it seemed like she was very obedient.

She was so obedient and polite. She was indeed the child that she couldn’t help but like at first sight.

Even if she did not focus all her attention on the cla.s.s, it was already a huge improvement. At this rate, it was not far from her listening attentively.

Only a few people were shocked by Yan Jinyu’s actions.

Fortunately, she was in a daze most of the time. Otherwise, those people who knew her ident.i.ty or knew that she was not simple would be even more fl.u.s.tered.

After the first lesson, Tan s.h.i.+yun turned back, “Jinyu, isn’t Teacher Hu very nice? Really, she’s the gentlest teacher I’ve met in all these years.”

“…” Feng Yuan and Xu Gui, who happened to hear her words.

Gentle?

Teacher Hu had shouted at them a lot when they were in Year One and Year Two. She did not seem to be a gentle person. However, in Year Three, she probably felt that they were hopeless and could not be bothered with them.

Even Bo Lang, who was publicly acknowledged to have an extremely bad temper and was not easy to get along with, had been criticized by her a few times. It was just that later on, when Bo Lang’s results were good and he was always first in the level, she no longer cared about him.

Actually, the teacher’s background wasn’t very strong even though she dared to shout at them. It was just that among them, other than a few specially-recruited top students, most of them were from big families. Most of them were still very good at respecting their teachers. This was the upbringing of the children of big families.

Even if there were a few people who were unwilling to be scolded by the teachers, they did not dare to show it because they would be looked down on and their upbringing would be criticized.

This was also an atmosphere created in the small environment of Boyu High School.

Of course, their cla.s.s did the best when it comes to respecting teachers in Boyu.

It couldn’t be helped. The top socialite in North City was in their cla.s.s. She was well-mannered and flawless. Everyone would be imperceptibly affected. There were also people who weren’t affected, but there were very few of them who were like Bo Lang.

Although they were not affected, as long as the teacher was right, they were not someone who would fuss over it.

“Yes, it’s very good.”

“Then, Jinyu, will you listen to Teacher Hu’s English cla.s.s seriously in the future?”

Yan Jinyu looked at her seriously and suddenly smiled. “I’m a little tired of playing games for two consecutive weeks. I can’t find anything to kill time with. Perhaps, I’ll listen to cla.s.s seriously.”

She rubbed her eyes. “Needless to say, my vision has decreased a little from playing games on the screen every day. I didn’t play games just now. I looked out of the window and then at the blackboard. My eyes feel much better.”

In other words, she wasn’t playing games because she wanted to listen to cla.s.s seriously. She was just tired of playing games and her eyes were tired.

“Indeed. It hurts your eyes to play games on the screen every day. Jinyu, you should play less in the future. If you don’t want to listen to cla.s.s, you can sleep on the table,” Feng Yuan said.

After saying that, he saw Yan Jinyu looking at him with a faint smile. Feng Yuan quickly hid his phone guiltily and laughed dryly.

He actually played games in cla.s.s too.

They were either sleeping or playing games.

This was already the norm.

Now, he came to school every day because of Yun’er. He had to go to school with Yun’er and have lunch together. Otherwise, he would have long gone to some internet cafe to play games.

However, ever since he made things clear to Yun’er, he rarely played games. In the cla.s.sroom, he often slept on his table.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “Mm-hm, that’s a good suggestion.”

“Jinyu, actually, you can use the test papers that the dean bought for you to do it. It’s getting closer and closer to the college entrance examination. The teachers in our cla.s.s are very open-minded. Even if you do the test papers for other subjects in cla.s.s, the teachers won’t interfere,” Tan s.h.i.+yun said.

In reality, the teachers wouldn’t care about sleeping or playing games. At least, they wouldn’t care about those people who had special treatment.

The teachers would be very relieved if they saw that they were willing to do the test paper.

Yan Jinyu glanced at the brand new test papers on the table. “We’ll talk about it in the future. I think I’ve found something new to kill time.”

“What?”

Yan Jinyu gestured for her to look to her right.

Tan s.h.i.+yun really looked over and happened to see a girl wearing earphones and holding a phone as she chased after a melodramatic idol drama.

“That one. It seems interesting too.”

“…” Tan s.h.i.+yun. She suspected that the girl in front of her who wanted to watch an idol drama wasn’t the feared number one killer in the world.

It was understandable that she was playing games, but who could have imagined that she would use her phone to watch a drama like an ordinary girl?

Or was it that the rumors about that person were actually exaggerated and she was actually not very formidable?

If that was the case, did she no longer have to be so afraid of her…

Just as she thought that, Tan s.h.i.+yun quickly shook off the thought.

She had been living comfortably for too long, and it made her feel relaxed. She was almost deceived by Yan Jinyu’s harmless appearance.

How could the rumors about that person be exaggerated?

That was the mission that was said to be impossible to accomplish in the killer world and yet she killed the person in charge of the Jones Family at its peak at the age of 10. Even Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed at her hands…

In front of Yan Jinyu, it was best not to relax for even a second and be vigilant at all times.

Tan s.h.i.+yun quickly restrained her emotions and said helplessly, “This… Watching dramas seems to hurt the eyes too.”

“It’s not as serious as playing games. I’m wearing earphones. If my eyes are tired, I’ll look out of the window. I won’t be bored listening to the voices.” Yan Jinyu wasn’t joking. She really felt that this was a good way to pa.s.s time.

At least, she had never dabbled in watching dramas before.

She would just take it as understanding something new.

Moreover, she noticed a face in the show that the girl was watching.

“Alright, I’ll help you ask the cla.s.smates who like to watch television for recommendations.”

“Thank you, Cla.s.s Monitor.”

“Hey, don’t be so polite. Aren’t we friends? Actually, there’s something I’ve wanted to say for a long time. You don’t have to keep calling me Cla.s.s Monitor. Just call me by my name. All my relatives and friends call me s.h.i.+yun. You can call me that too.”

Yan Jinyu smiled brightly. “Alright, s.h.i.+yun.”

“I suddenly realized that my name is quite nice.” Tan s.h.i.+yun looked very happy.

The bell rang.

“Jinyu, if you really want to watch a show, just find one randomly first. I’ll help you ask which shows are good after school.”

Yan Jinyu smiled and agreed.

She took out her earphones from her bag and watched television with her tablet.

It was a very melodramatic idol drama.

After sleeping for three periods, Bo Lang looked up and happened to see Yan Jinyu watching the television with great interest. The teacher on the stage was still seriously giving cla.s.s.

Bo Lang was silent for a long time.

She was really following the show… i

“It seems like Eldest Miss Yan likes our English teacher very much.” She only didn’t do anything else in her cla.s.s. Of course, being in a daze didn’t count. At least, she still looked at the blackboard occasionally.

Yan Jinyu ignored him.

Anyway, she was wearing earphones, so she couldn’t hear him.

Bo Lang didn’t care either. He didn’t seem to care if she could hear him. He said, “If that’s the case, then Eldest Miss Yan has undoubtedly exposed your weakness to someone with ulterior motives.”

Yan Jinyu took off one of her earphones and turned to look at him. “Weakness?”

She chuckled. “Do you have a misunderstanding about the word ‘weakness’?”

“That’s right. I do have a weakness. Yin Jiujin, whom everyone knows, is my weakness. If you have the ability to catch him and threaten me, I’ll definitely be threatened.”

“If anyone who has some feelings for me and cares about me is my weakness, then I would have too many weaknesses. After all, I’m loved by everyone.”

“…” Bo Lang.

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who cares about others’ lives?”

“If you really think so, I don’t have a choice either. You can just capture someone to threaten me and see if I’ll be threatened. Not only the English teacher, but I’ve also interacted with Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan many times. You can capture them all at once. They might really be useful.”

Bo Lang clenched his fists lightly and his expression darkened. “Why do you have to speak so sharply? I owe you my life. You know very well that I won’t harm you.”

Yan Jinyu hurriedly said, “No, no, no. Don’t try to build a relations.h.i.+p with me. I’m not familiar with you. It was just a coincidence back then. We only cooperated because we each took what we needed. Don’t make it sound like I’m very familiar with you.”

“To me, there are only my own people and enemies. There’s no middle ground.”

Bo Lang clenched and unclenched his fists. He frowned deeply. “I won’t harm you. I came to North City to protect you.”

Yan Jinyu looked at him and took off her other earphone. She smiled faintly, “To protect me? Then, tell me who wants to kill me?”

Bo Lang clenched his fists. “I…”

“Alright, alright. Don’t look so fearless for my sake. Not to mention that I don’t need your so-called protection at all, even if I really need it, ask yourself honestly. Did you come to North City to protect me or to protect the person who wants to kill me?”

Bo Lang fell silent.

Yan Jinyu sneered, “So, don’t use the excuse of protecting me. I’m most afraid of owing people some messy favors.”

“However, what you said makes me even more certain that you’re not Jones. Even if the first and only time we met was at the Jones Family.”

Bo Lang was her second suspect. The reason was that she had seen Bo Lang in the Jones Family’s castle when she went on a mission back then.

The reason why she wasn’t sure that Bo Lang was Jones and even felt that Yuan Xi was more suspicious than Bo Lang was because when she met Bo Lang in the Jones Family, Bo Lang’s situation was very bad.
