Chapter 96: Everything is Ready
Teachers were all people who had witnessed countless storms and tempests pass by. Therefore, upon hearing Chu Luoxi's words, Tang Ming immediately grasped the key point, and his initial good mood vanished without a trace.
Moreover, Chu Luoxi had done it intentionally. Aside from a few things that could not be expressed in words, she had revealed everything else without reservation, causing Tang Ming to grow increasingly gloomy as he listened. His brows were furrowed into several deep frowns: "What is she trying to do?"
The anger in her tone was not hidden at all. Tang Ming's reaction was surprisingly direct, which somewhat surprised Chu Luoxi. In his previous life, he had not been considered Tang Ming's favorite student; all his brilliance had only emerged years after graduation. By then, the teacher-student relationship had long since grown distant. They had little chance to interact daily except during classes, so she could not claim to know him well.
But in this life, it seemed different. The several times he had taken leave and his early entry into the industry had gradually made Tang Ming value Chu Luoxi more and more. Therefore, in his psychological assessment of matters, he tended to side with Chu Luoxi.
Besides, regarding Wang Yanan, who had caused the top-scorer incident back then, many people had already given up on her. The class teacher Tang Ming was no exception.
Every year, countless people took the art exam, with strength and luck each occupying a significant portion. Wang Yanan's case belonged to the type with particularly good luck. Things are done by people, and success depends on the heavens. To encounter such a situation, the school had no choice but to accept it helplessly.
The most troubling and irritating part for Tang Ming was that Wang Yanan had been admitted through the back door, and on top of that, she was extraordinarily tactless. Without self-awareness, she constantly performed poorly in various small tests and even believed herself to be outstanding. This year's batch had produced such a drag on the class, leaving many teachers sighing in despair.
Now, it seemed this person not only did not know how to behave but was also preparing to stir up even bigger troubles. It was truly intolerable. If not disciplined, one would think the Imperial Shadow Academy had produced such talent!
"You can do whatever you want with what you need to do. I know about this matter. The Imperial Shadow Academy's school ethos and reputation cannot be messed with however someone wishes," Tang Ming said sternly, and he had made up his mind.
Upon hearing this, Chu Luoxi pursed her lips and smiled, picking up her phone to check the time. With Tang Ming's words, she felt at ease.
Walking back to the dormitory with steady steps, Chu Luoxi encountered quite a few classmates along the way, greeting them one by one. Occasionally, they chatted a bit, and the relationships were all good.
This class had a gender ratio of six boys to four girls, which was not too bad yet, and the overall quality was decent. In the future industry, many of them had created quite a name for themselves. Although they had not reached the legendary level of the Golden Class, it was still quite good considering past classes.
"Chu Luoxi, why have you come back to school?" A voice sounded with surprise. Chu Luoxi turned her head and saw it was their class monitor Lan Yege.
"Class Monitor Lan, what do you mean... Don't I have the right to come back?" Chu Luoxi replied with a smile, also knowing that Lan Yege's surprise was purely genuine; she just did not know why he was so surprised.
Lan Yege's name was actually ambiguous, could be male or female. At first glance at the roster, one could not tell the gender. This person was actually the male top scorer of this year's art exam batch.
Due to the deceptive nature of his name, many people only found out after school started that the top scorer was a boy. And because of this, Wang Yanan felt extremely unconvinced and once pointed at Lan Yege's nose in provocation.
Fortunately, Lan Yege's temper was truly good and he did not argue with Wang Yanan. With Tang Ming intervening directly, the matter was resolved without a trace and became a laughable anecdote discussed after meals. It was also thanks to Tang Ming coming out in time; otherwise, Chu Luoxi suspected that if things did not have a result, Lan Yege would be driven crazy by some brainless person...
"I did not mean it that way. Do you want to go back to the dorm? Let's walk together!" Lan Yege smiled warmly, with a dazzling brilliance. This guy actually had the capital to be an idol.
"What? I'm going back to the girls' dorm, together?" Chu Luoxi was stunned, not quite reacting. Although Lan Yege's name could be male or female, it did not mean he himself could be either. Cough, this was too explosive.
Lan Yege was stunned for a moment, then realized he had said the wrong thing. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um, I do need to go to the girls' dorm. I have a childhood friend who's a girl, and she's also been admitted this year. A few days ago during the freshman registration, I wanted to check on how she's doing. This, during the registration period, should not be a problem for boys to go in for a while."
"Childhood friend?" Chu Luoxi's eyes sparkled like diamonds: "Could it be a childhood sweethearts?"
To be honest, Lan Yege was quite an interesting person. Most of the girls in the class liked to tease him from time to time, but he was very capable and did things perfectly. As class monitor, he had indeed served the class a lot, and the students all respected and admired him. So, with such high attention, whenever Lan Yege had some gossip, everyone was interested. Chu Luoxi was just going with the flow after all, a conditioned reflex.
Originally, Chu Luoxi had just said it casually, with a lot of joking intent, but she did not expect Lan Yege's face to flush red, which made her feel unexpectedly surprised. It seemed there was indeed something fishy here!
However, since it was about the dorm room matters, Chu Luoxi did not dig deeper into the gossip. After all, if there was really something, she believed this could not be hidden for long, and she would find out soon enough.
Seeing that Chu Luoxi did not pursue the question, Lan Yege, somewhat hesitant, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two then walked unhurriedly towards the girls' dormitory.
These past two days, with new students arriving and old students returning, the management should have been much easier. Moreover, Lan Yege was the class monitor, also a minor celebrity, and he often came to notify things using his position. The dormitory auntie knew him well, so there was no difficulty entering; the path was smooth.
Since they had come, Lan Yege prepared to first go to the girls' dorm of their own class to greet them, showing his concern as class monitor. Seeing this, Chu Luoxi turned her dark eyes, suddenly shouted brightly, "Class Monitor Adult has arrived, everyone sisters, quickly come out to welcome!"
One dorm room lived four people. On this floor, two-thirds of the rooms were for one class. Chu Luoxi's shout caused screams to rise everywhere. Doors closing, people running, it felt like a scene of chaos and panic!
"Cough cough..." Lan Yege coughed twice as if accustomed, obediently waiting in the corridor. In less than a minute, the same-class dorm rooms opened one after another, poking out many heads.
"Yo, Class Monitor Adult, coming to inspect right at the start of school, it's really hard work!" Someone said teasingly, and it could be heard that they got along well with Lan Yege usually.
"Hehe, you guys are wrong. The Class Monitor Adult is not here to see you guys. She is here to see her childhood sweethearts. You guys, incidentally..." Chu Luoxi raised her brows and directly revealed the information, while walking towards her own dorm room, casually taking out her key to open it and play a big game.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Next, it was her return gift to Wang Yanan...
