Chapter Twenty-Five

  "The incident at Zhi Xian's home, I believe everyone is already aware of. The school is very concerned about this matter and wants to take this opportunity to remind everyone to be careful with fire prevention and electrical safety in their daily lives, so that such accidents do not happen again. Nobody wants to see something like this happen, and the teachers hope that you will not be too affected by this incident. This afternoon, people from the city's fire department will come to conduct a fire drill on site. I'd like to remind everyone in advance that there will also be a fire drill at school this morning. Everyone must cooperate fully." Chen Yan's gaze swept coldly over each of the children present, her tone was icy and devoid of emotion.

  Or in her heart, it was just a matter of a student in the class handling things, and it wouldn't have any impact on her, so she only treated this as an unexpected event, without losing the kind intention of being a good student. If seen from an adult's perspective, thinking like this is also understandable, teachers educate people, and there aren't overly deep emotions between them and students, but in the hearts of these young children, such words are undoubtedly cruel.

  They are still in grief over losing a companion and good friend, Chen Yan's words were undoubtedly too cruel for them.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at Chen Yan, in her impression, Chen Yan had always been such a figure, never having a good time. After she graduated and left, she quickly forgot about this somewhat stereotypical teacher.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, some students immediately reacted.

  "Teacher, how can you say that? Everyone is sad about Zhi Xian's situation, and now you're saying this. Don't you think it's too much?" The thoughts of children are always hard to understand for adults. At times like these, they just want to be sad.

  "The teacher did it for your own good! She only got into that kind of situation because she wasn't careful, this is her punishment. You must remember!" Chen Yan heard this but just frowned and continued to speak stiffly.

  Cheng Zihan's face also changed at this time. As a teacher, saying such things at this time was really too much.

  Before Chengzi Han could even speak, several male classmates stood up and threw their books at the podium, "Get out! We don't want a teacher like you!"

  This action was like the butterfly effect, and other students in the class also threw their books at Chen Yan, shouting angrily, "We don't want a teacher like you! Get out!"

  "Get out!"

  Chen Yan was so embarrassed that she had to temporarily leave the classroom.

  At this time, Duan Xi, who was the smallest in the class, walked to the door, closed it and locked it from inside.

  Others also rushed to lock all the windows.

  This situation seems somewhat familiar.

  Cheng Zihan looked at these innocent and tender faces, and inexplicably felt a thread of emotion in her heart.

  Children at the age of eight or nine are mostly still innocent and kind-hearted. In their world, there is no room for any impurities.

  "Teacher, if you don't apologize to us, we won't attend class today! What kind of nonsense is this fire drill? Let it go to hell!" Duan Xi stood on the podium, raised her small arm and shouted loudly.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Duan Xi and wanted to laugh, was this kid instigating his classmates to cause trouble? Usually he was the one bullied by Zhi Xian.

  Other classmates cooperated and raised their fists, shouting loudly, "No apology, no class!"

  Cheng Zihan didn't stop them either, so she let them make a ruckus and sat in her seat, calmly reading her book.

  Kai Ming secretly glanced at Cheng Zihan, and when she saw Cheng Zihan's calm expression, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes. She walked to the front of Cheng Zihan and looked at him.

  "Zi Han." Seeing that Cheng Zi Han was still focused on the content of the book and hadn't looked at him, Kai Ming reluctantly called out to her.

  "What's up? Anything wrong?" Cheng Zihan raised her head and asked indifferently.

  "You think they'll cause any trouble by making such a fuss?" Kaiming said with a worried expression.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at others, now everyone was playing games in their own circles, the excited look from just now had already disappeared.

  "What's wrong?" Cheng Zihan just glanced at him lightly and then looked away, looking at Kaiming with a puzzled expression.

  "This... " Kaiming was momentarily at a loss for words, seemingly also unsure of how to respond to this question.

  Cheng Zihan continued to stare at her unblinkingly, waiting for her response.

  "If you cause trouble like this, you'll be put on record by the school." Ka Ming finally spoke up after thinking for a long time.

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow, "Really? I don't think so. The teacher's words were indeed a bit excessive."

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking and didn't look at Kaiming anymore, continuing to read her book. The book was borrowed from the school library, although it wasn't very interesting, but Cheng Zihan was bored anyway.

  Kai Ming glanced at Cheng Zihan before reluctantly returning to his seat.

  The morning reading class was only twenty minutes long and soon ended.

  Cheng Zihan stretched and took a look, seeing that the teacher hadn't arrived yet. After morning reading, they would have breakfast, and some senior students would come to help distribute it.

  "Classmates, it's almost time for breakfast. I think the teacher will only come after class starts. Why don't we open the door and eat first, then continue protesting?" Cheng Zihan was indeed hungry, but most of his classmates hadn't eaten yet.

  Others stopped their actions and turned to look at Cheng Zihan, as if thinking about whether her words were feasible or not.

  Kai Ming's eyes flashed, and he had an idea. He stood up, "The class leader deliberately let us open the door. It can't be that they've already discussed it with the teacher and won't let us go on strike to protest?"

  Hearing Ke Ming's words, all the other classmates looked at Cheng Zihan with indignation.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but smile wryly, these kids are really easy to deceive.

  "Of course not, don't you guys trust me? Just think about it, even if we don't eat breakfast and continue to protest with the door closed, is it useful? We're done with school, do we still not open the door to go home? Do we have to go a whole day without eating or drinking in the classroom? And not use the restroom either? Are we going to just go in the classroom? If you guys don't mind, I don't have any opinion." Cheng Zihan said as she sat down and continued reading her book.

  Kai Ming did not expect Cheng Zihan to be so good at debating, and hastily said, "Since we are going to protest, of course, we can't open the door. What if the teacher comes in when we open the door?"

  "Why don't you just get out?" Cheng Zihan tilted her head and gave Kai Ming a silly look.

  "This..." Kaiming was once again left speechless by Cheng Zihan.

  Others thought for a moment and seemed to think that Cheng Zihan's words made some sense, so they went over and opened the door.

  Kai Ming glared at Cheng Zihan with a venomous expression, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

  After having breakfast, everyone closed the door again and continued protesting.

  Cheng Zihan didn't bother to respond, anyway she didn't like attending classes, let them protest if they want.

  "Cheng Zihan, Cheng Zihan, come and play, your stone skipping is the best, hurry up and help me teach her a lesson!" Just as Cheng Zihan was engrossed in reading and didn't plan to pay attention to others, Su La's voice suddenly rang out.

  Others also chimed in, "Yes, yes, Zihan, come quickly."

  Cheng Zihan looked over at them and saw a group of children staring at her with shining eyes, she really couldn't refuse, so she put down the book and walked over.

  Kai Ming saw Cheng Zihan leave her seat and suddenly revealed a strange smile. Taking advantage of everyone's focus on playing with stones, he secretly touched Cheng Zihan's seat...
