Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

The ultimate terror of student life is when your homeroom teacher's face suddenly appears behind you.

For example, right now, the area of ​​the psychological trauma in the hearts of these four men is probably something even their math teacher couldn't calculate.

That's really terrifying.

This is the prelude to a public execution!

In an instant, the quiet classroom was filled only with the buzzing of the ceiling fan and the sudden, heavy breathing of a few boys.

When a powerful Dou Zong expert arrived, the void momentarily stopped.

Her aura was fully unleashed.

Old Zhang looked down at the group, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Liu's buzz cut from behind his glasses. Chen Ming and his deskmate wished they could disappear into their workbooks, their expressions unreadable.

Finally, the camera focused on Lu Qian, who was lying on the table groaning.

He didn't speak, but the silent pressure he exerted was more suffocating than any reprimand.

Lu Qian could feel that gaze on his back, which almost made him lose his composure.

He mentally screamed, "System, you're a total rip-off!"

"If it weren't for my health, would I be doing this?!"

That's what he thought, but he could only put in even more effort in his performance.

After all, nobody wants to suffer for half an hour.

He then mumbled a few words through his lips:

"Young people who don't respect the elderly and care for the young..."

The sound was so soft that no one heard it, but it was enough to get through the system's lesson mission.

The King of Mouths

On the other side, Old Zhang frowned even more as he looked at Lu Qian's appearance.

Having taught for decades, he had seen all sorts of students' tricks. In his eyes, Lu Qian's acting skills in faking illness were at most beginner level.

"Just a moment ago you were full of energy, chatting away, and now you're suddenly terminally ill... Hah, you're kidding me!"

Old Zhang saw through it but didn't say anything.

But seeing how the other students were distracted from their studies because of this farce, he could only sigh: "No matter what, the school's rule of making students stay after the exam to study is really inhumane..."

It must be said that although Mr. Zhang is strict with his students, he still shows them a lot of love in some details.

Having been a teacher for so many years, how could he not understand his students?

With the college entrance exam just around the corner and immense pressure looming, it's understandable that these teenagers might engage in some minor misbehavior.

Moreover, the authorities have repeatedly issued orders prohibiting corporal punishment, making it indeed troublesome to handle.

Instead of making a scene and causing chaos, it's better to just turn a blind eye and let it go.

"Ahem." Old Zhang cleared his throat.

His gaze fell on Lu Qian, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "Lu Qian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Um... Teacher, I am indeed feeling a little unwell right now..." Lu Qian's voice was weak and feeble.

Seeing Lu Qian's expression, Old Zhang knew exactly what was going on: "Keep pretending! If you're really in this much pain, I'll change my mind!"

But he remained calm: "Since you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. Is there any classmate willing to take Lu Qian to the infirmary?"

His gaze swept across the classroom, focusing on a few boys who were usually reliable.

Just then, Lu Qian, who was lying on the table, suddenly raised his head.

He raised a hand, trembling, and pointed to the figure with a high ponytail in the front row.

"Teacher, please let the class monitor take me..." Lu Qian's voice was weak. "She's willing to take me..."

"Huh?" Lin Shuyue was instantly stunned, her fair face filled with question marks.

When did she agree?!

What kind of trouble is Lu Qian up to now?

Her first instinct was to retort, "Teacher, I..."

"Hmm?" Old Zhang turned his gaze to Lin Shuyue, his expression questioning.

Lu Qian quickly kicked Lin Shuyue's chair leg lightly under the table, while giving her a pleading look that seemed to say, "Please."

Lin Shuyue swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.

She knew Lu Qian too well; this bastard was probably putting on an act again, but it didn't seem appropriate to expose him in front of the whole class.

"Besides, what if he really is feeling a little unwell?" The naive girl with the high ponytail actually started to believe it.

She sighed, closed the book in her hand, and stood up: "Teacher, I'll take him there."

Old Zhang looked at Lin Shuyue and understood everything perfectly.

Lu Qian is a shrewd guy; he knows to use the good students in the grade as shields so that it's hard for me to refuse.

However, he truly trusted Lin Shuyue completely.

Lin Shuyue is a top student in her grade, with strong self-discipline and a strong sense of responsibility.

Moreover, she and Lu Qian grew up together, their families were close, and their relationship was so close that Old Zhang would never even consider the possibility of them being in a romantic relationship.

"The gap is too big. Could Lin Shuyue possibly be interested in a brat like Lu Qian?"

"Are you kidding? Anyone who can't score 630 on the monthly exam is a piece of trash with a combat power of 5 in Lin Shuyue's eyes. There's no way Lu Qian could possibly be in a relationship with Lin Shuyue!"

Old Zhang wasn't worried at all about this beautiful girl who was ranked first in her grade.

Having Lin Shuyue accompany him would both silence any gossip and ensure that Lu Qian wouldn't actually sneak off to do something reckless—a win-win situation.

"Okay, Shuyue, take him to the infirmary. If the situation is serious, contact his parents or send him to the hospital."

Old Zhang nodded and added, "Be careful on the road."

"Understood, teacher," Lin Shuyue replied.

She walked to Lu Qian's table, looked at his "weak" appearance, and said in a low voice with annoyance, "Can you still walk, Young Master Lu?"

"Yes..." Lu Qian stood up, supporting himself on the table, and followed Lin Shuyue out of the classroom with unsteady steps.

As soon as he stepped out of the classroom and turned the corner of the corridor, making sure he was out of Lao Zhang's sight, Lu Qian, who had just been "on the verge of death," instantly straightened his back.

The "painful" expression on his face vanished instantly, and he even stretched.

"Phew—I was suffocating!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of relief spreading across his face.

His eyes were bright; there was not a trace of illness in them.

[Ding—Respect for the Elderly Mission Completed! The host successfully dissuaded the young man's unreasonable impulse with the spirit of "respecting the elderly and caring for the young," setting a fine example for elders!]

[Full of energy and unable to drink a thousand cups! The aura of invincibility has taken effect and will last for 24 hours!]

A cool and refreshing feeling instantly flooded his mind. Lu Qian felt that the "mental energy" he had used up by pretending to be sick was instantly replenished, and his thinking was even clearer.

"Not bad, not bad. If I'm going to Chen Yufei's house tonight to discuss business, I might be able to pretend to be a heavy drinker..." Seeing the rewards on the panel, Lu Qian felt smug again.

It truly is a case of "after hardship comes happiness."

"You...you were faking it all along!" Lin Shuyue stomped her foot angrily at his energetic appearance.

Her pretty face flushed slightly with embarrassment and annoyance: "It's all your fault! You made me worry for nothing! Lu Qian, you're a big liar!"

"Oh, it's a matter of necessity, otherwise I wouldn't have used you as a shield."

With a grin, Lu Qian magically pulled a hazelnut-flavored Dove chocolate bar from his pocket and handed it to Lin Shuyue.

"Calm down, calm down, here's some candy for you."

"..."

Upon seeing the familiar chocolate packaging, Lin Shuyue's feigned anger instantly crumbled.

A slight, involuntary smile crept onto her lips, but she tried to maintain a straight face: "Hmph! You think you can bribe me with a piece of chocolate? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qian flicked his wrist, and another identical Dove chocolate appeared in his palm: "Where are the other two?"

Lin Shuyue: "..."

She quickly glanced left and right to make sure no one was watching, then swiftly reached out and grabbed both chocolates, stuffing them into her school uniform pocket in one smooth motion.

"That's more like it!" she muttered under her breath.

The little temper she had just displayed vanished instantly, leaving only the sweet aroma of chocolate in her eyes.

Looking at her like this, Lu Qian understood: "Sure enough, there's no problem that a piece of chocolate can't solve when dealing with your own sweetheart. If there is, then two pieces will do."

This little girl is so easy to train.

The reason he let Lin Shuyue come out with him was because this young girl was easy to fool; he could afford the cost of two Dove chocolates.

"Let's go!" Lu Qian waved his hand dismissively. "Studying? Even a dog wouldn't study!"

"Where to? The infirmary?" Lin Shuyue unwrapped a piece of chocolate and took a small bite.

"Why go back to the infirmary? Of course, we're coming home!" Lu Qian said matter-of-factly.

The first meal I eat after being reborn must taste like my mother's cooking!
