Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

Qi Yang arrived home with her two children before dusk. As soon as she entered the house, she sensed the oppressive atmosphere.

Upon entering, one sees Qi Jing with tears streaming down her face, looking away, while Qi Rongguang's face contorts with anger.

In this atmosphere, even Qi Tianci didn't dare to speak.

Qi Rongguang's domineering voice rang out, "I've raised you all with so much hardship, and even found you a good marriage. You won't go hungry after you marry into the family. What more could you want?"

"Your family raised you to adulthood, and now it's your turn to repay the favor. I've seen through them all; they're all ingrates."

Dong Yuehua stood to the side, feeling helpless, and whispered, "You should say less."

Qi Rongguang scoffed, "Am I not allowed to talk about my own daughter?"

Qi Yang walked in and saw Qi Jing silently stand up and walk into the room, while Qi Rongguang was still cursing outside the door.

Qi Yang gently lifted the half-closed curtain and immediately saw Qi Jing with her back to her, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Qi Yang lowered the curtain and turned to look at Qi An on the side. The little girl had wet eyes and a nervous face; she was clearly frightened.

Qi Yang gently shook her head at her younger sister, signaling her to keep quiet.

Such scenes were always easily staged in the Qi family.

...

After a restless night, dawn broke.

When Qi Yang arrived at school in the afternoon, she learned that the old principal had extended the class time. Apparently, some students had been playing around and were scolded by the old principal.

Qi Yang didn't need to think; it definitely included her younger brother.

Qi Yang stood in the corridor outside the classroom, and soon her forehead was sweating and her cheeks were flushed from the sun.

Lin Huaixu saw this scene as soon as he stepped out of his office.

The girl hid in the shade of a tree, casting dappled shadows that tinged her dark hair with light gold.

He paused, walked over, and said in a gentle tone, "It might be a little while before school ends today."

Qi Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man standing beside her, a head taller than her.

As she got closer, she realized that the man was not the small-statured person Qi Rongguang had described. On the contrary, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but his refined appearance softened his aggressive demeanor.

Their eyes met, and Lin Huaixu continued, "The sun is strong outside, and standing here for a long time can easily cause heatstroke. You can go to the office and sit for a while."

Qi Yang glanced around the classroom; it seemed like it would take a while longer. After a moment's thought, she nodded gently and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Teacher Lin."

It was called an office, but it was actually just a simple little room with only a set of desk and chairs. There were many textbooks piled on the desk, and Qi Yang glanced at them and recognized many famous books.

Although simple, the office was spotless, and the window in front of the desk was open, offering a perfect view of the school entrance. He turned and moved a wooden chair from the corner, gently placing it in the shade by the window: "Sit down."

The small room could only accommodate two people. Qi Yang sat down somewhat awkwardly and saw Lin Huaixu also sitting down at the desk, looking down and carefully correcting the pile of homework on the table.

The room was quiet, and the pen tip made a soft scratching sound as it touched the paper.

Qi Yang sat quietly, her gaze sweeping around the room before unconsciously landing on him. Then, her gaze slowly moved down to the homework book spread out on the table.

The paper is arranged with Chinese characters, which are the simplest words and sentences.

She didn't notice that Lin Huaixu had stopped writing, looked up at her, and softly asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yang was brought back to her senses by his voice. She gently shook her head, "It's nothing."

Lin Huaixu put down his pen, and only the piercing chirping of cicadas outside the window remained in the room.

His gentle gaze fell on Qi Yang's serene features, and he softly called to her, "Come."

Qi Yang was confused, but when she met his gentle gaze, she still moved her stool forward a little.

The homework exercises for lower grades were spread out on the table. The elementary school students' handwriting was immature, and next to the homework, someone had marked it with a red pen and carefully added comments.

Lin Huaixu lightly tapped the Chinese characters on the paper with his slender fingers, then looked up at her. "Do you recognize these characters?"

Qi Yang lowered her long eyelashes. The Chinese characters looked very familiar to her, but the original owner of this body had only attended primary school, so she nodded gently: "I recognize some."

The girl's voice was soft and gentle, which didn't surprise Lin Huaixu. He asked slowly, "How long have you been studying?"

"I stopped studying after finishing primary school."

Lin Huaixu nodded slightly, perhaps knowing the reason, and did not ask any further questions.

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and pushed a thin junior high school textbook from the corner of the table in front of Qi Yang. The pages were exceptionally clean, and it was clear that it had been well protected.

Lin Huaixu seems to really cherish books.

Lin Huaixu looked at Qi Yang. He had noticed earlier that when the girl sat quietly, her gaze would always unconsciously fall on it, so he asked, "Want to see?"

Qi Yang suddenly looked up, her dark eyes instantly brightening with tiny sparkles. "Is it okay?"

Those bright, lively eyes became even more vivid. Lin Huaixu was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Of course."

"If you want to read books or learn to write, you can come to me anytime."

Qi Yang's heart skipped a beat, but she hesitated and shook her head: "Thank you, teacher, but my parents won't agree. If my dad sees that I'm not home every day, he'll definitely get suspicious."

Qi Rongguang always felt that it was more worthwhile for girls to get married early than to go to school. If he knew that she had come to Lin Huaixu to study, it would definitely cause a commotion.

Lin Huaixu took in the worry in her eyes. He pursed his lips, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Then come to study after school every day. That way, no one will suspect anything."

He smiled and said softly and solemnly, "I will keep it a secret for you."

His words were indeed very tempting, and the teacher's identity gave her a sense of security. After hesitating for only a moment, she nodded gently, "Then... thank you, teacher."

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted outside the office, the children's noise instantly shattering the tranquility of the campus.

Class has ended.

Qi Yang suddenly snapped out of her daze, stood up, straightened her clothes, and looked at the gentle and refined young man beside her. "Teacher Lin, I'll be going now."

Lin Huaixu looked up in response and stood up. "I'll go with you."

The classroom door was already crowded with children. Qi Yang's gaze swept across the group and she quickly spotted Qi An. She waved and called out, "An An."

Qi An came over upon hearing the sound, took her hand, and said, "Sister."

Her voice was timid, and her eyes were full of anxiety. She whispered, "Sister, it seems that my little brother has gotten into trouble again."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yang was not surprised at all.

Qi Tianci had long been spoiled by Qi Rongguang, and he caused trouble at school all day long, making him a troublemaker wherever he went.

Qi Yang followed Qi An's gaze and saw Qi Tianci walking out with his head down not far away. He was still just a child, and he knew he was ashamed after being scolded by the teacher.
