Chapter 96: In the Face of Student Provocation.

Chapter 96

The weekly quizzes did not require different exam rooms. Students took the tests in their own classrooms, which were organized by the head teachers.

The quiz questions were not as many as the midterms or finals, just ordinary mini-tests.

Originally the quizzes were held during self-study periods, but since all the students in Yu Na's class had late self-study, she scheduled it for then.

The afternoon self-study period was the same as usual.

During the late self-study period, the classroom was quiet.

Yu Na paced around below the podium and eventually returned to the lectern.

From her vantage point on the podium, all the little movements of the students were in plain view.

Yu Na stood with her arms crossed and said something to make the students shudder: "I can see every little move you make."

"..."

When the exam finished, late self-study was almost over.

As Yu Na packed up her things, she glanced at the thick stack of English test papers and thought for a moment before deciding to take them home to grade.

After packing everything up, she hurried to the north school gate, hugging the pile of test papers.

As usual, Xiao Chen was waiting for her in his car by the north gate.

After getting into the passenger seat, he saw Yu Na holding a bunch of stuff and casually asked, "What are you carrying?"

"Test papers."

"Test papers?" Xiao Chen didn't understand. "Weekly quiz papers?"

"Mm-hmm."

"You have to grade them tonight?"

"No," Yu Na explained, "I want to grade them early so I can go over them with the students sooner."

Xiao Chen didn't respond, just looked at her silently.

At first Yu Na didn't notice anything wrong and muttered to herself, "I looked at the weekly quiz questions and analyzed some of the classic high school entrance exam question types from previous years. I found the quiz questions are quite representative, so I want to go over them with the students early on."

She chattered on and on but didn't get a response. Only then did Yu Na put the test papers on her lap and notice the quiet atmosphere in the car.

"...What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Xiao Chen ruffled her hair. "Just think you're not the same as before."

"Really?" Yu Na asked curiously. "How am I different?"

"More and more like a teacher."

Her eyes lit up as she waited expectantly for his praise. "Really, really?"

"Yeah," Xiao Chen's tone suddenly shifted. "About the same as my high school Chinese teacher, scary."

Yu Na: "..."

The car stopped at Huating One. Just as Yu Na was about to get out, Xiao Chen suddenly grabbed her arm. "Wait."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Chen gently rubbed her wrist. "Have you been very tired lately?"

"A little tired..."

After saying this, Yu Na realized that recently, because of work, she hadn't spent much time with Xiao Chen.

She tentatively tried: "Are you angry I haven't been with you much lately?"

Xiao Chen asked back, "What do you think?"

Yu Na sighed. "Let's talk about this tomorrow."

She placed his test paper on top, stacking all the papers in one pile off to the side. Then she turned around and hugged Xiao Chen around the neck. "I'll indulge you a bit tonight."

Xiao Chen smiled. "Don't regret it."

Yu Na: ?

Ignoring her resistance, Xiao Chen carried Yu Na onto the bed, leaving one bedside lamp on. He leaned down to kiss her.

Their breaths mingled.

Xiao Chen nestled against her neck, breathing heavily, his voice low. "Baby..."

"Mm-hmm..."

"Say sweet words to me."

Yu Na thought for a bit, then hooked his shoulder and whispered gently, "I miss you."

Xiao Chen wasn't satisfied. "Add a 'want' after 'miss'."

Yu Na's mind was in chaos from his kisses. Without thinking, she blurted out, "I miss y—"

Before she could say "ou," she instantly realized.

Yu Na was furiously embarrassed and pinched his face. "You!!"

Xiao Chen chuckled, his shoulders shaking. "Silly girl."

...

The next day, Yu Na carried the test papers as Xiao Chen sent her to school.

During morning reading time, she handed out the English test papers.

Qiao Rui saw Xu Yi's test paper, the full score conspicuously sticking out.

"Damn... awesome."

Xu Yi didn't react much, asking him, "Convinced now?"

"Yup, sis, you're awesome."

There was more than one perfect score in the class since there was no listening or writing section on the weekly quiz. Yu Na drew a big smiling face on every full score test paper.

After handing out all the papers, she walked over to Jiang Yu and emotionlessly asked, "What's going on with you?"

Jiang Yu asked back blankly, "What do you mean what's going on?"

"Do I need to spell it out?"

The test paper was spread out on the desk. Yu Na pointed at his paper. "Out of the whole class, only you wrote like this. Do you not have any respect for the weekly quizzes?"

Faced with the confrontation, Jiang Yu was completely calm.

He raised his eyes. "Sorry, I don't understand your lectures."

"???"

At this remark, the classroom instantly went silent.

Everyone's gazes landed on the two of them.

Yu Na was also shocked.

Jiang Yu leisurely provoked her, "Your lessons sound very boring and illogical."

Sitting in the last row, Qiao Rui spoke coldly, impatiently warning Jiang Yu, "Hey, you better show some respect."

Jiang Yu glanced indifferently at Qiao Rui, ignoring him. His gaze shifted back to Yu Na as he shamelessly added, "I think you're not suited to being a teacher."
