Deduct One Point for Cursing Shen Nian

Yan Yuzhu and Shen Nian met each other's eyes. Seeing that he didn't mind at all, her eyes immediately narrowed and she covered her mouth to laugh.

Good boy.

She pointed her finger at Shen Nian and shook it up and down, with an expression that said, "You are indeed not simple."

Teachers also went through their student days, and after becoming teachers, they have seen a lot. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Excellent people are popular wherever they go, and coupled with Shen Nian's good looks, she wasn't surprised at all that he had a partner.

The top two students in the school holding hands outside of school and being caught by a teacher—just thinking about it makes one's imagination run wild.

Yan Yuzhu thought of herself as a good girl who buried her head in books during high school. She somewhat regretted not having the purest romance in high school and not fully enjoying the palpitations brought by youth. The more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt.

If only she could go back to being eighteen.

However, Yan Yuzhu didn't expect Shen Nian to not panic at all upon being discovered.

What a big heart. Without a big heart, it would be hard to score seven hundred points in a single semester.

Yan Yuzhu didn't speak, and Shen Nian didn't say a word either. He nodded as a greeting, still gripping Xia Yanchun's hand tightly, not wanting to let go for a moment.

So what if they were discovered?

He couldn't think of a reason to be afraid of being found out. If Xia Yanchun wasn't still unwilling to go public, he would have wanted to run back to town and loudly tell Uncle Xia and Aunt Wen, "I've already won your precious daughter's heart!"

He glanced at the little person next to him. Because she was blocked by him, Xia Yanchun hadn't noticed Yan Yuzhu standing not far away.

He suddenly wanted to see Xia Yanchun's panicked look.

"Ah, the principal!" He randomly pointed in a direction.

Xia Yanchun rolled her eyes, "Not again, who are you trying to fool?"

"Hehe, you saw through it. Although the principal isn't here, Ms. Yan is watching us."

"Tsk." Xia Yanchun pouted, dismissive.

"Look, over there." Shen Nian pointed his thumb back at Yan Yuzhu not far away.

Seeing him acting serious, Xia Yanchun leaned forward and squinted. It wasn't until she clearly saw Ms. Yan in a white shirt and dark brown trousers that she panicked, swinging her small hand to escape from Shen Nian's palm.

It really is Ms. Yan!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

Xia Yanchun became nervous, feeling completely unwell. Being caught holding hands with Shen Nian outside of school by a teacher, her life was about to end!

It wasn't that she was afraid of what Yan Yuzhu could do to her and Shen Nian. Xia Yanchun's shyness simply overwhelmed her reason; she was completely unprepared to go public!

"Hi." Seeing Xia Yanchun also looking her way, Yan Yuzhu had no choice but to raise her hand and wave.

"H-hello, Ms. Yan..." Xia Yanchun stammered.

"Mhm, how was the exam today? Was it a lot easier? Are you confident in getting a perfect score?"

"I-it was okay... A perfect score is possible..."

Xia Yanchun's small face flushed red, anxiously pinching the hem of her clothes. She was extremely cramped, speaking in a very low voice.

The former "student representative" who could calmly stand on the podium and deliver a self-written speech to the whole school was, for the first time, this nervous facing a teacher.

If Yan Yuzhu said, "You two are a couple, right?" at this moment, she would just drop dead right there.

"Tonight, I will have the class representative write down the answers. Let's check them tonight."

"Mhm..."

Yan Yuzhu then looked at Shen Nian, "Then Shen Nian, are you confident in getting a perfect score this time?"

"Guaranteed, guaranteed. Anyone with hands can get a perfect score."

"So confident?"

"This exam was really basic." Shen Nian scratched his cheek. "What did you come out to buy, Ms. Yan?"

"I bought some drinks. Come to the office tonight, I'll give you some."

"Oh my, Ms. Yan, why are you so nice?"

I guessed the brand of the drinks in the bag in just a second, you can try it too.

Who understands the feeling of this kind of teacher calling a student to the office to stock up on goods? I can't help but be loyal to the cute Archbishop Wangzai.

Ms. Yan, you are the best baby in the whole world.

"Ms. Yan, when I graduate, I will definitely bring you ten catties of large shrimp raised by my family."

"Is that so? Then I'll be waiting."

Shen Nian was still a student, so she didn't dare to accept his things. Once he graduated, she wouldn't have to care so much.

"I will definitely deliver them to you then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the green light turned on. Xia Yanchun was so ashamed that she kept her head down and walked quickly.

Afraid of making the two kids awkward, Yan Yuzhu didn't plan to walk with them. Using the excuse of needing to buy daily necessities, she walked in another direction.

This red light felt like it took a bit long to wait.

Calming down from the feeling of being caught, Xia Yanchun elbowed Shen Nian. "Did you notice her earlier?!"

"Ms. Yan? No, I reminded you as soon as I saw her."

"Sigh..."

"What's wrong, afraid of getting a demerit?"

"No... We're about to graduate, what's there to be afraid of." Xia Yanchun frowned. "I read online that some teachers, upon catching students dating, will secretly notify parents to keep an eye on them to prevent their grades from dropping. Do you think..."

"Ms. Yan probably wouldn't do that, right?"

Slightly younger teachers are more open-minded about this kind of thing, and Ms. Yan is so nice. Shen Nian found it hard to equate Ms. Yan with the kind of teacher who would make a mountain out of a molehill.

Xia Yanchun nodded her small head. She also felt that Ms. Yan wouldn't make trouble out of nothing, but she just couldn't help thinking in that direction.

Blaming it on looking at her phone too much, Xia Yanchun decided to punish herself by not looking at her phone tonight.

Chattering a few words, they arrived at the milk tea shop. Shen Nian went in to order, getting a cup for Xia Yanchun and the little loli, and one for himself and his two sons. Five cups in total. Although not heavy, the plastic bag would dig into his fingers.

Afraid he couldn't hold them, Xia Yanchun helped him carry the chestnuts and two fruit teas, sneaking a few chestnuts on the way back to school.

Even though they both had one hand free, Xia Yanchun didn't dare let Shen Nian hold her hand anymore.

It's still more reassuring at home.

...

At six-thirty, Ma Mingfan and Chen Dong entered the classroom right on time.

Seeing a bottle of drink on the desk, and seeing Shen Nian sitting with his legs crossed drinking it, Ma Mingfan decisively smiled foolishly at Shen Nian and patted his chest. "Brother Nian, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. I, Ma Mingfan, will cover all your cleaning duties next month!"

"We graduate next month." Shen Nian sweatdropped.

"It's fine, Brother Nian. We're brothers in our hearts."

"Adoptive father!" Chen Dong was even more decisive than Ma Mingfan.

Shen Nian smiled. "Our little Chen is still the sensible one. Little Ma, you should learn more."

"You can't do that, Brother Nian. He plays Delta Force and likes to use Uluru with a sniper rifle on the bridge."

"What does that mean?"

"Ahem, it's easy to get your whole family greeted."

"Damn it, you bastard Chen Dong, give me back my milk tea."

Chen Dong had already drunk half of it and smiled faintly. "You're not happy when I call you adoptive father, how ridiculous is that."

"Bastard."

...

During evening self-study, the class representative wrote the answers to the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions of the grand unified exam on the blackboard. One subject occupied one side of the blackboard. The major questions for math and physics would be left to be discussed in class.

Shen Nian checked his English answers against the key. Well then, putting aside the essay section, he had already secured all the other points.

There was a high probability he would get a perfect score on this English test, and he figured Xia Yanchun would too.

"Hey, what did you get?" he called out to Xia Yanchun beside him.

"I missed one cloze test question."

"Someone is a total noob, but I won't say who."

"Did you get a perfect score?"

"Yep."

Xia Yanchun pursed her lips. Even though she had only lost a single point, it still didn't sit well with her.

Shen Nian scoring higher than her felt even worse than bombing the test herself! She was ready to sacrifice a single strand of her hair to curse him into losing a point on his essay.
