Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 21 Boys deserve it, right?

"Acheng, good luck to you!"

Before Gu Cheng stood up, he heard Li Yang's whisper in his ear.

He glanced back and saw that the dog was sitting more upright than anyone else, no longer sleeping, its eyes wide open like copper bells, muttering to itself in a loud voice, as if afraid that Old Zhang outside the window wouldn't hear its reading.

He looked like that; anyone who didn't know better would think he was a very diligent student.

Ha, coward!
If you're so capable, then lie down and keep sleeping in front of Old Zhang!

Why are you acting like such a good baby now?

Ignoring Li Yang's whisper, Gu Cheng walked out of the classroom. As he passed Lin Huaiman, he heard her whisper, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Ah, a woman from the lower class.

I told you to get lost a long time ago, but you wouldn't leave. You just had to cause me trouble.

She truly deserves to be called a top-notch fairy.

Gu Cheng cursed inwardly, but since Old Zhang was still waiting in the corridor, he couldn't really curse. He could only pretend he hadn't heard and quickly walked out of the classroom.

"Come to my office."

Zhang Xiantu's expression was not good. For any teacher, students dating is the biggest taboo and is absolutely unacceptable.

Even high-achieving students cannot break this taboo.

In fact, if a student with good grades is in a relationship, the teacher will be even more nervous.

For students with poor grades, even if they are in a relationship, the impact will be relatively small, because to put it bluntly, they have nowhere left to fall behind.

However, it's not uncommon for high-achieving students to experience a sharp decline in their grades due to romantic problems during adolescence.

Gu Cheng followed Zhang Xiantu to the office, which was full of people because the students were still doing their morning reading.

Several teachers looked up and glanced at the students, but seeing that they were not very familiar with them, they did not pay any attention to them.

The first year of high school has only been in session for less than two months, with a National Day holiday in between. Many teachers don't even recognize all the students in their classes.

Those who truly remember things clearly are probably only the students who did well in the subject or were more active in class.

As for the others, who remembers them?

Zhang Xiantu sat down at the desk, staring at Gu Cheng with a serious expression: "Tell me, what happened?"

Gu Cheng briefly recounted the events, but did not mention the confession he made in the second year of junior high school.

shame.

The man in his thirties has no other hobbies but is very concerned about saving face.

Zhang Xiantu clearly didn't believe Gu Cheng's explanation: "If that's all there is to it, then why did the new student, Lin Huaiman, react so strongly?"

"you……"

Zhang Xiantu paused, then his tone suddenly turned serious: "Are you in a relationship?"

Gu Cheng almost exploded: "Teacher, I swear to God, Lin Huaiman and I were just junior high school classmates at most. It has absolutely nothing to do with dating. I know what you're worried about, but you can't just say things like that, can you?"

Zhang Xiantu scoffed, "If you two weren't dating, why would Lin Huaiman suddenly transfer back from Shanghai, and just happen to be in Class 2 of the first year of high school?"

"How do I know this?"

“I have absolutely no connection with her. After she went to Shanghai, I haven’t been in contact with her at all. Why did she transfer to No. 1 Middle School? Who am I supposed to ask?”

Gu Cheng also became a little angry.

This has absolutely nothing to do with him. Lin Huaiman reacted so strongly, why don't you go and question her? What's the point of coming to me?
Gu Cheng was speechless. Zhang Xiantu hadn't expected Gu Cheng to react so strongly either. After a moment of surprise, he said, "Okay, I believe you're not dating, but as boys, whatever the reason, shouldn't you give way to the female classmates a little?"

Ha, so boys deserve it?
Isn't the principle of gender equality supposed to be upheld?

How can it be considered unequal at this point?

It's clear that Lao Zhang has done this kind of thing quite a few times. Whenever there's a problem, he subconsciously tries to see things from the female student's perspective.

However, it's not just Lao Zhang who does this; basically, any teacher, when it comes to matters between men and women, will tend to side with the girls.

This seems to have become a rule.

"I told her to go back to her seat a long time ago, but she wouldn't, and she's affecting my studies. Do I have to kneel down and beg her to do it?"

"As teachers, shouldn't we look at issues fairly and impartially?"

"We're all raised by the same parents, so why is Lin Huaiman somehow superior? Do I have to give in to her? What gives her that right? Is she my mother or did she breastfeed me?"

Gu Cheng was already furious. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a normal teenage boy like him, who was at the peak of his temper.

He was played by Lin Huaiman in his past life, which left him single in his thirties. So it turns out that it was his own fault for not bothering with her in this life.

Needless to say, Gu Cheng's words left not only Zhang Xiantu somewhat bewildered, but also the other teachers in the office exchanging bewildered glances.

Is this boy in Lao Zhang's class? He's got impressive fighting skills!
This was the first time they had ever seen a student dare to be so defiant in front of their homeroom teacher.

At this moment, the teachers who were diligently preparing their presentation slides also put down their pens and looked at Zhang Xiantu, intentionally or unintentionally.

Making presentation slides is nowhere near as fun as watching gossip!

"Cough cough~"

Zhang Xiantu coughed awkwardly twice, his expression softening considerably: "Gu Cheng, I didn't mean to criticize you. If you're not dating, you're not dating. There's no need to get so worked up. I apologize for what I said earlier, but..."

"After all, you'll be in the same class as Lin Huaiman in the future, and you'll see each other all the time. There's no need to make things too ugly; it's not good for either of you."

“If it’s not my fault, then I’m fine.” Gu Cheng immediately said, “I didn’t scold her, I didn’t hit her, I just asked her to go back to her seat.”

"Of course, it's possible she likes me, but that has nothing to do with me, right?"

“If you’re looking for someone, you should talk to her, not me.”

“I know, but she is a woman after all…” Zhang Xiantu stopped mid-sentence, realizing he couldn’t continue, and returned to the starting point.

"Forget it, I won't say anything more. I won't ask what your relationship with Lin Huaiman is anymore."

"Teacher, isn't it time for a 'but'?"

"Hey! Gu Cheng, can't you be a little more considerate of the teacher? Lin Huaiman just transferred here. Is it really appropriate for me to talk to her now?"

"I don't care whether she likes you or you like her."

"Stop, old comrade, I have nothing to do with her, and I don't like her." Gu Cheng felt it was necessary to make Comrade Zhang Xiantu understand this matter.

Zhang Xiantu hesitated, then could only smile helplessly: "Fine, I won't say anything more. I can't argue with you. That's it. I don't mean to blame you. Study hard. I've seen your grades; they're not bad, about average in the class. If you keep it up, getting into a university shouldn't be a problem, but..."

“Your English score is relatively poor. If you can improve it by 30 or 40 points, and also improve your other subjects a little, you might be able to get into a top university.”

English?

Gu Cheng was taken aback. His English was indeed not good; he was considered good if he could pass. But that was in the past. In the world of Prince of Tennis, he had even played in competitions abroad before, so his English was quite good. He wouldn't dare say he got a perfect score, but he was definitely capable of getting 130.

Huh~
Old Zhang, just wait until my monthly exam blows your mind!
Gu Cheng thought to himself.
