Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

The fat man's name is Wang Bo, and his father works at a slaughterhouse in Beijing.

In an era of extreme scarcity, the fact that he could grow up to be so well-off was enough to show that his family was very wealthy.

Ordinary families might only eat meat once a month, but Wang Bo ate meat almost every meal, which is why he earned the nickname "Fatty".

"You're at home helping with chores, unlike me who's so carefree," Chen Wenqi replied with a smile, then added, "You should consider losing some weight. If you keep getting this fat, it will affect your health."

In my memory, he and Fatty had a pretty good relationship; they had been in the same class since elementary school.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two returned to their respective seats.

Chen Wenqi's seat was in the back left corner of the classroom. It was originally a single desk for one person—his previous deskmate had moved and transferred schools, so that seat had been empty ever since.

He Yushui's seat was right in front of him, and her deskmate was Yu Xiaotang.

Just then, Yu Xiaotang walked into the classroom, her bright almond-shaped eyes looking around as if searching for something.

When she spotted Chen Wenqi, she immediately broke into a bright smile and skipped over to him: "Chen Wenqi! What have you been up to all summer? I've been looking for you at Yushui's house several times, but I haven't been able to find you."

"I don't live at her house, so of course you won't see me," Chen Wenqi replied irritably.

He Yushui, who was sitting next to the two, heard their conversation and her cheeks instantly flushed red. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to be looking at her textbook, acting as if she hadn't heard anything.

"That's not what I meant! I meant you weren't in the yard at all this summer," Yu Xiaotang quickly explained. "Don't you and Yushui live in the same yard?"

"Maybe I was out running errands around that time," Chen Wenqi mumbled, not wanting to continue the topic.

Since they became deskmates in the first year of junior high school, Yu Xiaotang has had a crush on Chen Wenqi.

She was strikingly beautiful and had many suitors at school, whose admiration greatly satisfied her vanity.

However, just when she thought all the boys in the class would flock to her, Chen Wenqi, the most handsome boy, always maintained a polite but distant attitude towards her.

Now that they are in the same class again in the third year of junior high school, she finds that Chen Wenqi's eyebrows and eyes have become more and more handsome, and he has a unique temperament that makes people's hearts flutter.

"Little Sugar, the teacher is here!" Seeing that she still wanted to continue chatting with Chen Wenqi, He Yushui quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered a reminder.

A young girl who looked to be no more than twenty years old walked slowly into the classroom. She was beautiful and refined, with a faint scholarly aura surrounding her, and she was holding a textbook in her hands.

The moment the boys in the class saw her, their eyes were instantly captivated. They stared at her intently, forgetting even to blink.

Sitting next to Chen Wenqi, Fatty quietly nudged his arm and whispered, "I'd heard that our class was getting a new teacher, and a really beautiful one at that. I can't believe it's true. I heard she just graduated from teachers' college not long ago."

Chen Wenqi rolled his eyes and retorted casually, "How old are you? Your mind is already wandering to all this nonsense! When you're a grown-up, do you expect to date your teacher?"

Ah Fei grinned, making no attempt to hide his thoughts: "If I could really find a girlfriend this beautiful, it wouldn't be impossible to consider it."

Chen Wenqi shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that no matter the era, students would always have some unrealistic fantasies when they saw a beautiful teacher.

To be honest, even Chen Wenqi, who had seen countless beauties in his previous life, had to admit that the new teacher in front of him was indeed very good-looking.

Her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Ayaka, the Japanese teacher he had dated in his previous life, who was known as the "beauty of Hebei Province."

Compared to Ayaka, the teacher in front of him had a more innocent and naive air about her, and this naivety actually made Chen Wenqi feel more favorably toward her.

He couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Ayaka in his previous life, which was indeed one of the happiest memories of his life.

When Chen Wenqi traveled to Japan, he happened to be there during the cherry blossom festival. He met Ayaka under the cherry blossom trees and fell in love with her at first sight.

In pursuit of Ayaka, he deliberately stayed in the island nation for several more months.

It was through this connection that he met Aya, Qin Hai, A Li, Yong Li, and others.

Of course, Chen Wenqi was extremely careful in allocating his time when dating these girls, and he never made any mistakes.

Ayaka once mistakenly thought his situation was due to financial difficulties. In order to buy a place in Tokyo and start a stable family with him, she even planned to take on more film and television contracts to save money.

This pure and sincere sentiment once deeply touched Chen Wenqi's heart.

Unfortunately, he later had to return to his home country due to some special reasons. He originally planned to visit Ayaka in the island country again, but unexpectedly, he was transported to the world he was in now.

A gentle smile gradually appeared on the female teacher's face, and she then began to introduce herself: "Hello students, I am your homeroom teacher for the new semester, and also your Chinese teacher."

"My name is Bai Ying. It is a great honor to be your teacher and to get to know you all."

With a soft "clatter," the pen Chen Wenqi was holding slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard. What did the teacher just say her name was? Was it Bai Ying?

Could this be Bai Ying, the one who exists deep within my memory? Wait…

A chilling memory suddenly flashed through Chen Wenqi's mind—the principal of the school they attended seemed to be surnamed Gao.

He immediately turned around and asked his classmate, Fatty, with an anxious expression, "What's the name of our school's principal?"

Ah Fei looked puzzled and replied, "His name is Gao Yi. Why did you suddenly start asking about him?"

A loud bang seemed to explode in Chen Wenqi's mind. He froze on the spot, his ears ringing and his mind going blank.

Chen Wenqi forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions within him and pressed, "Are you sure it's righteousness? Is it the 'righteousness' of benevolence and morality?"

Ah Fei nodded firmly and asked, "Absolutely right, absolutely true. What exactly do you want to do by asking this?"

Chen Wenqi's eyes flickered uncertainly, and he gave a vague and perfunctory answer: "No... nothing special, I just suddenly thought of it and asked casually."

At this moment, Chen Wenqi's heart was filled with turmoil, and countless chaotic thoughts were swirling and colliding in his mind.

Bai Ying cleared her throat gently and continued, "Now we will begin taking attendance. Students whose names I call, please answer 'Here' loudly."

As a newly hired teacher, she was not yet familiar with the students in her class and planned to take this opportunity of roll call to get to know them.

Bai Ying opened the roster in her hand and read out in a soft voice, "Sun Jianjun."

A clear and loud reply immediately rang out from the classroom: "Here!"

Then, she read out another name: "Liu Jianjun".

A kind, honest voice immediately rang out, replying, "Here!"

After a brief pause, she continued calling out names: "Li Jianjun."

This time, seven or eight voices responded simultaneously in the classroom, shouting "Present!" "Present!" "Present!"

This amusing scene almost made Chen Wenqi burst out laughing. He silently counted in his mind—there were actually seven or eight people in the class named "Jianjun".

In addition, there were three or four classmates named "Jianguo" (meaning "Building the Nation") and three or four named "Weiguo" (meaning "Defending the Nation"). These were all names that bore the strong imprint of the times.

The series of responses with the same name left Bai Ying somewhat at a loss. After a moment of stunned silence, she decided not to rush things and to get familiar with the situation gradually.

She composed herself and continued calling out names: "Wang Xin."

Ah Fei immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Here!"

Then, Bai Ying read out the next name: "Chen Wenqi".

Chen Wenqi gathered his scattered thoughts, steadied himself, and replied in a deep voice, "Here."

When Bai Ying's gaze fell on Chen Wenqi, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, amazed by his outstanding appearance.

This fifteen-year-old boy has an exceptionally handsome appearance and exudes a unique aura that sets him apart from his peers.

It was this unique aura that made Bai Ying glance at him a few more times.

The moment their eyes met in mid-air, Bai Ying's cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

She was immediately flustered: How could she blush at a middle school student? This was utterly absurd.

Bai Ying quickly looked away and sped up the roll call, trying to cover up the embarrassment as soon as possible.

After roll call, Bai Ying announced to the class: "Today, the whole school is organizing a big cleaning. It's the first day of school, so the classrooms and the campus need to be tidied up properly."

Chen Wenqi's mood had not completely calmed down.

In fact, he had already noticed that this world incorporated elements from multiple films and television dramas when he met Chen Xueru, but Bai Ying's sudden appearance still exceeded his expectations.

After all, Bai Ying is not a character from any film or television drama, and the degree of integration in this world is truly astonishing.

Well, since we're already in this world, let's accept reality.

Chen Wenqi chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself that even if such an unbelievable spectacle as the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin were to occur one day, he would probably be able to face it calmly.
