Sunny Joy - CHAPTER 33

“This is really a good idea; I’ll tell him right now.”

Is that a good idea? Over-sharing, Meng Ran said at the time, “Don’t you have anything else to do? Don’t always revolve around me; I’m tired too.”

She thought of Chu Xi, who had comforted her in the same way back then. It was also the method she had suggested. But now, the two of them had ultimately ended up at this point.

Song Ciyue now believes that love can truly make a person become detestable, to the point where even friends can become like strangers. Is she doing okay now?

Song Ciyue shook her head, shaking off the thoughts in her mind.

“It’s not something I came up with; it was a friend of mine. Remember when Meng Ran and I had that argument last year? It was resolved after I called a friend.”

Yang Liu hesitated a bit: “Did you call that day? I remember you went straight to sleep… But it could also be that we remembered it wrong.”

Song Ciyue was taken aback, and she forced a smile: “Maybe.”

“Alright, alright, the emotional exchange session for today is over. Let’s focus on studying well, the exam is coming up soon.”

As soon as the exam was mentioned, everyone lost their earlier enthusiasm.

Yang Liu was full of sorrow: “Must it be released on May 1st? Can’t it be released tomorrow morning at 5 AM and last until January 1st next year?”

Little Pepper leaned beside her: “As long as you give the order, we’ll immediately support you as the new head of the Education Bureau!”

My roommate disagreed: “That’s not very appropriate. I suggest we move it to May 1st next year.”

Song Ciyue patted her shoulder and said, “I see you have the potential to become the director of the Education Bureau.”

“When it comes to holidays, I always remember the rumors about holidays during high school,” Shang Nuan said. “How do you all take holidays?”

“We are a private school, and we have a week off every week.”

“You guys are so lucky! We have a two-week cycle and only get two days off, from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.”

“I’m about the same.”

Yang Liu summarized: “It was really tough back then. Even a two-day break felt like a vacation. No wonder I started going to bed early in college; I could sleep until noon. Maybe I was just catching up on the sleep I missed in high school.”

“I feel like it should be, but we can’t blame everything on staying up late.”

My roommate asked, “Are you all going to take the teacher qualification exam? Do you all want to become teachers?”

“Not entirely, it’s also for the travel discounts. Getting a tour guide license isn’t bad either, actually.”

Little Pepper raised her hand and answered, “I don’t want to be a teacher. I’ve had enough of spending every day at school. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life there either.”

“Actually, being a teacher isn’t bad. If we both become homeroom teachers, even for the neighboring class, then both classes would have homeroom teachers at the same time. I can’t even imagine how happy they would be.”

Yang Liu also chimed in, “I can already imagine how much gossip there will be to hear. If someone from the two classes starts dating, we’ll definitely have first-hand information.”

Shang Nuan responded with great bravado, “Alright, with your word, I definitely won’t expose your secrets in front of the students! If any classmates read the domineering CEO novels like you do during class, I’ll let them off if they look at me.”

“If he were a boy, I would have him write a reflection on the movie, summarizing the tactics of the domineering character. Second, I would choose classic scenes and have the boy, and his friends read them in roles, recording it on a phone. This would help them improve their grades. If they do well, I would delete the video. If they don’t do well, I would give the grades and the video to their parents.”

“I agree!”

“Ahem, have you ever heard a saying?”

The two people who were fantasizing about the future were puzzled: “What do you mean?”

“On the desolate banks of the Ba Mountains and the Chu waters, two old friends are like sisters.”

Yang Liu suddenly remembered something and said, “Speaking of which, I just remembered one of our high school homeroom teachers. Back then, there was a couple in our class. They went to buy food, and our homeroom teacher followed them all the way. The two of them didn’t even notice until they got to the classroom door. They turned around and had a staring contest with the teacher.”

“Actually, it was their classmates behind them who told them that the homeroom teacher had been following them all the way, right up to the classroom door. At that time, our school didn’t allow dating, but fortunately, our homeroom teacher was quite nice and didn’t say anything. Otherwise, they might have been expelled.”

“Your homeroom teacher is really nice.”

“Of course, and besides, this matter is also quite fun.”

When Yang Liu recalled the situation at that time, she really found it quite interesting.

“We had a review class before the final exam, and he said he would ask questions in a game format. If someone couldn’t answer, they would face a penalty, and then that person would choose someone else to answer, and so on. Those who couldn’t answer couldn’t sit down.”

“At first, we were supposed to showcase our talents, but the best student in our class suggested that we just chew a piece of 21 Gold Vita, and he just happened to have a bottle.”

“Then, the teacher asked a question and called one of his class representatives to answer it. The class representative couldn’t answer, stammered a bit, and when everyone was feeling anxious, the teacher called another class representative.”

“It’s just like pulling up carrots with dirt on them. All the boys who got along well with them stood up, and we were almost dying of laughter. Each of them had a look of resignation on their faces while eating.”

Little Pepper was puzzled: “Why?”

“You might not have tried it, but the taste is indescribable. They all played it well. I believe they must have been tricked by pranksters before, so they have such a deep understanding.”

Song Ciyue also asked, “Didn’t that boy stand up?”

Yang Liu said with deep sorrow, “He answered correctly, so he sat down.”

“Later, no one could answer correctly, and the teacher said the game was no longer interesting. The prankster suggested increasing the difficulty as a punishment: if a boy couldn’t answer, he would have to do a handstand.”

“Our teacher also didn’t mind making a big deal out of it. Seeing the incredulous expressions on the faces of all the boys, he agreed to his suggestion. He said, ‘Since he proposed the idea, let’s let him give it a try,’ and then asked him a question, which he happened to not be able to answer.”

Yang Liu stopped and took a sip of water.

“But he didn’t want to, and his good brothers didn’t want him to bear the stigma of breaking his promise, so they planned to forcefully intervene. However, he broke through their heavy encirclement and ran straight out. In the end, they sent two representatives to follow the teacher to the men’s restroom to catch him.”

“Did you get it?”

The storyteller nodded: “Everyone has come back, and the homeroom teacher can vouch for him. He really did a handstand and even took a photo to commemorate it.”

“Your high school is so interesting, isn’t it? The teachers too, they seem to get along so well with the students.”

“Yeah, that time was really happy and fulfilling. It’s different now; it feels like the days pass by quickly, and I haven’t learned anything. A day just goes by like that.”
