Chapter 43: We Are All Family.

  "Finally done, sigh, I'm exhausted." Ling Fei heard Hua Yue Rou's words and moved his neck, tilting his mouth to complain.

  Huā yuè róu què hǎo xiàng méi tīng jiàn líng fēi de mányuàn yíyàng, réng yòng bǐ zài huà zhǐ shàng huà zhe shén me, líng fēi yě méi qù zì tǎo wú qù, zuò zài nà lǐ wú liáo de dòng zhe shēn zi.

  Translation:

  Hua Yue Rou seemed not to have heard Ling Fei's complaints and continued drawing on the paper with her brush. Ling Fei didn't bother to make things worse for himself either, sitting there idly fidgeting his body.

  For a moment, Hua Yue Rou put down her pen and looked at Ling Fei; "What? You don't want to?"

  "Damn it!" Ling Fei cursed inwardly, shifting his stool in dissatisfaction, turning his back on Hua Yue Rou.

  "You're so petty, it's just a short while, what's the big deal? I'm in high demand, with countless people clamoring to be my model." Huayue Rou shook her small foot and sat sideways on the chair, pouting at Ling Fei.

  "Alright, young lady, it's my honor to be your model. I'll tell my children and grandchildren that I was once a model for you, what a glorious thing!" Ling Fei responded with a tone of annoyance and then shut his mouth, not intending to speak again.

  "Alright, you're really petty, hurry up and move around a bit, or your body won't be able to take it." Hua Yue Rou suddenly remembered the terrifying strength of Ling Fei's slap that day, which had dented her car, and her heart skipped a beat. Her tone was no longer as fierce, and she sounded somewhat conciliatory.

  "Alright, I'm not actually angry, you play by yourself, I still have things to do." Ling Fei didn't have such a petty temper, he stood up and stretched his body, making a cracking sound, twisted his neck and looked at the painting.

  Who would have thought that Hua Yue Rou, noticing Ling Fei's gaze, quickly grabbed the canvas and covered up the painting? "Don't look, you can't look now. When the theme exhibition starts, I'll invite you to take a look, okay?" After finishing speaking, Hua Yue Rou's face revealed a mischievous smile as she playfully raised an eyebrow at Ling Fei.

  "Who cares, you can keep it for yourself." Ling Fei learned from those rich kids to grab a strand of long hair, casually swung it back, and didn't look at the painting again. He just waved his hand and left the art room.

  "This idiot!" Hua Yue Rou saw Ling Fei leave without a word, couldn't help but feel shocked, and immediately stomped her foot, angrily scolding.

  After scolding for a while, Huayue Rou gently lifted the canvas and looked at the expression of Ling Fei's worried god in the painting. The faint sadness and vicissitudes in his eyes made her pinch his delicate chin; "It seems that he is also a person with a story."

  As she thought of this, Hua Yue Rou couldn't help but feel curious about Ling Fei. She stretched out one hand to the painting and used her fingers to feel the texture of the paper. With a look of intoxication, she closed her eyes, and her fingertips brushed against Ling Fei's face. It wasn't until then that Hua Yue Rou realized her actions were somewhat improper. A red glow flew up onto her cheeks, and with a guilty conscience, she glanced around before covering the painting with the canvas.

  "More and more curious about what kind of person he is." Huayue Rou looked at the covered painting, muttering to herself.

  "No, can't think about it. Mom said that if you're curious about a man, you'll fall into his trap. Can't think about it." Hua Yue Rou thought of this and immediately tensed up, muttering to herself with an adorable expression.

  Found it boring and laborious, picked up the painting and left the art room

  ……

  Ling Fei walked out of the art room and headed towards the head teacher's office. Along the way, he met many students who all greeted him.

  Every time the teacher called his name, Ling Fei felt a thrill in his heart.

  "This taste is really good." Ling Fei smiled and walked towards the office with a few more steps.

  Arriving at the office door, he pushed it open and took a look inside. He only saw Yang Yu'an sitting alone in front of the computer, staring at something with great concentration.

  "Yang Yu, what's up?" Ling Fei greeted him and walked to his own seat, pulled out the class roster, ready to put Bai Yu and Gao Meng on file first.

  "Oh, it's Little Ling. The school basketball game is about to start, I need to prepare my lessons first. Our class is ranked relatively front today." Yang Yu'an saw that it was Ling Fei, nodded in response and continued to focus on the computer.

  Look at his focused expression, if you don't know what he's doing, you might think he's watching a special product video from some country.

  "Oh, then you go ahead and busy yourself, I still need to sort out some materials." Ling Fei responded with a sound, picked up the pen and wrote down Bai Yu and Gao Meng's names on the attendance sheet, and then casually put down the pen.

  Today's basketball game has already been forfeited by Ling Fei, so there is no need to participate in the match selection. Of course, it is more leisurely than Yang Yu'an.

  After sitting for a while, I felt dry and thirsty, so I got up to get some water, but found that I didn't have a cup. With a wry smile, Ling Fei was about to ask Yang Yu'an to borrow one when the office door was knocked on.

  Ling Fei was taken aback for a moment; "Come in."

  The door opened and Qian Yujing stood at the entrance with a thermos in her hand, looking timidly at Ling Fei.

  Ling Fei saw that it was his own student and said, "Come in, what's the matter?"

  "Teacher...... I...... I came to bring you tea water......" Qian Yujing said with some guilt.

  Ling Fei didn't think much of it, assuming she was just a bit shy, and his heart felt delighted; "I didn't expect to be loved by my students to this extent." Overjoyed, he was about to speak up when Qian Yujiao directly placed the cup on Ling Fei's desk and turned around to run out of the office.

  This left Ling Fei stunned, he was originally going to shamelessly praise her a few more times and have Qian Yujing deliver water to him every day, but before he could even say anything, Qian Yujing had already run off.

  Looking at the thermos on the table, he let out a bitter laugh. Just as he was about to pick it up and take a sip, Yang Yu'an advised him from the side: "I'm telling you, Xiao Ling, you're not unaware of what kind of students are in your class. Who knows if they've tampered with the things they brought over? It's better not to drink it."

  "Hey, don't worry about it, big bro. They're all under my control, who dares to make a move?" Ling Fei let out a loud laugh and twisted open the cap, taking a swig.

  The tea had just gone down his throat, and the half mouthful of tea still in his mouth was immediately spat out.

  "My god, essential oil!" Ling Fei touched his mouth which was blowing out cold air, took a deep breath, and quickly walked towards the water dispenser. Without hesitation, he poured some water into his mouth from the spout, swished it around, and then spat it out.

  "Look at you, I told you not to drink, but you didn't believe me. Is it floral essential oil?" Yang Yu'an took a look and immediately stood up and walked to Ling Fei's side, saying with concern.

  Ling Fei waved his hand and forced himself to hold back the nausea brought on by the floral essential oil irritating his stomach; "I'm fine, these little brats are too much to handle!"

  "Hehe, that's why you still have a lot to learn. Do you want to go to the hospital? Drinking essential oils can be toxic." Yang Yu'an smiled and immediately looked at Ling Fei.

  Ling Fei smiled and walked over to the table, picked up the thermos cup, and threw it out of the window. He then clapped his hands and sat back down in his seat.

  "Hey, big bro, don't worry about it. I'm young and this little thing won't affect me. These little rabbits, I'll deal with them when we get back." Ling Fei said casually, but in his heart he was cursing: "Damn it, these little bastards, one is more annoying than the other. If I find out who came up with this idea, I'll break their legs!"

  Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ling Fei awkwardly rubbed his nose and flipped open the class roster, but suddenly saw Chu Feng's page, his heart skipped a beat; "Always said I'd go to his house for a home visit, delayed until now, tonight I have to go take a look."

  Thinking of this, Ling Fei's anger in his heart also gradually subsided.

  ……

  In the classroom, Qian Yurou seemed to be patting her chest with a lingering fear, Lin Wanshi looked at her; "What's wrong? Were you scared by him?"

  "It's not like that, I just ran a bit faster." Qian Yujing retorted with a red face.

  Lin Wan Shi sat on Qian Yao Rou's desk, sizing her up with interest; "What? Not afraid to run so fast? Feeling guilty aren't you? Hehe."

  "You say so much, but it's still me who does it. If you have the ability, go do it yourself." Qian Yujing strongly retorted, for young people, losing anything is fine, but not losing face.

  Lin Wan Shi patted her shoulder; "Alright, alright, we don't even know if he's drunk it or not. If he hasn't, then all our efforts would be for nothing." After saying that, Lin Wan Shi jumped down from the desk and glanced at Chu Feng who was eavesdropping on them with his ears perked up, letting out a cold snort; "My great class monitor, is being a teacher's lapdog so comfortable? Look at how hard you're trying to sell yourself."

  Chu Feng saw that his eavesdropping attempt had failed, so he used his shameless skills to laugh it off; "Wan Shi, you're not being fair, do classmates really need to draw such a clear line? I get along well with Teacher Ling, but at the end of the day, we're still closer. We're all one big happy family!" Chu Feng had a sly smile on his face, shamelessly covering it up.
