Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

The man in the classroom seemed to notice her as well, his gaze meeting hers. Their eyes met, and Qi Yang paused slightly, while the young man's lecturing also subtly stopped for a moment.

The two looked away from each other, and Qi Yang silently walked towards the tree, afraid of disturbing others in class.

Lin Huaixu had already looked away and refocused his attention on the class, but it was hard to notice that the young man's fingers tightened around his book.

Qi Yang didn't stand under the tree for long. A moment later, the school bell suddenly rang throughout the campus.

The classroom was soon filled with the children's laughter. Lin Huaixu picked up his books and left the classroom. He immediately saw the girl hiding behind a tree. His expression softened, and he walked over and peeked out from the other side of the tree to meet her gaze.

Qi Yang stood there, wide-eyed, stunned, when she heard Lin Huaixu ask, "Why don't you go to my office?"

The girl straightened up, glanced behind him, but the children were all playing and didn't pay attention. She then said softly, "You're not here, isn't it a bit impolite for me to go in by myself?"

Lin Huaixu was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He smiled and reached out to rub her head. "Don't overthink it. You can come in whenever you want from now on."

His actions seem to have crossed the line again; he clearly intended to apologize last time.

But... Lin Huaixu lowered his hand, and the soft touch seemed to linger in his palm. Looking at the girl's oblivious face, he inexplicably felt a desire to be greedy.

He said softly, "The last two periods are the principal's classes. Shall we go and learn together?"

Qi Yang nodded. She had already looked at the class schedule and was taking advantage of his free time to study.

Qi Yang followed Lin Huaixu into the office, and then she was stunned to see that a soft cushion had been placed on the chair that had been casually moved there.

She looked at Lin Huaixu, whose expression was natural, so Qi Yang didn't think much of it and sat down.

Lin Huaixu took out his textbook, opened it, and pushed it in front of her, saying, "Today we're learning math."

Mathematics is the most difficult subject for Qi Yang to conquer. After each chapter, Qi Yang will receive a problem set by Lin Huaixu for her to solve. Lin Huaixu is a successful teacher. The problems he sets are very in-depth and well-suited to Qi Yang's current level.

The young man's voice was low and gentle, and Qi Yang nodded from time to time in response to his questions.

Occasionally, they would look up and their eyes would meet.

The man's eyes were dark, and he gazed at her calmly. Perhaps because it was during class, Qi Yang felt a sense of pressure. She couldn't help but avoid his gaze, and for the rest of the time, she kept her head down, staring at her textbook, and didn't look up at him again.

Seeing this, Lin Huaixu concealed the faint disappointment in his eyes, lowered his gaze, and earnestly began to teach her.

The pen tip scratches across the paper, leaving a mark.

The noisy laughter outside the office gradually faded after the school bell rang, and the room became increasingly quiet, with only two voices remaining.

"Finish this before you go back." After saying that, Lin Huaixu assigned her homework as usual.

Qi Yang obediently took it.

Lin Huaixu poured a glass of water, pushed it in front of her, and then took a sip to moisten his throat.

A teacup sat on the edge of the wooden table, steaming slightly. Qi Yang was flipping through her paper, not yet putting pen to paper, when she heard the young man beside her speak casually, "I heard your sister is getting married?"

Qi Yang paused, somewhat surprised that he would be curious about this, but she quickly nodded and said calmly, "Yes, probably next month. What's wrong, Teacher Lin?"

Lin Huaixu's gaze fell on the textbooks spread out on the table, his expression unreadable. "People here seem to get married quite young."

What he said was true. Lin Huaixu had seen quite a few girls of Qi Yang's age here who were already engaged, or even married and had children. It was no longer a rare occurrence.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Qi Yang still softly replied, "Yes, that's true."

Lin Huaixu suddenly looked up at her, his eyes deep, and asked, "And what about you?"

Qi Yang didn't think much of it, "I'll leave it to fate."

Her words were casual, but they stirred up a storm in Lin Huaixu's heart.

The scene he had witnessed yesterday kept replaying in his mind: young boys and girls chasing each other in the mountains and fields. Even just that image made his heart tighten slightly.

Lin Huaixu recalled that on the day he first arrived in Qingya Village, he and Qi Yangtong were huddled in the cramped back of the truck when Qi Rongguang said that his second daughter was much younger than him, but would soon be getting married.

At that time, he only felt regret, but now his fingertips unconsciously curled up, and the strength in his grip on the teacup quietly tightened.

His throat tightened, and he couldn't help but say, "Your most important task right now is to study. You can put everything else aside for now."

Qi Yang listened, her eyebrows curving into a smile, and nodded obediently. "Teacher Lin, don't worry, I will definitely put my studies first."

Lin Huaixu felt a tightness in his chest.

He subconsciously interpreted Qi Yang's meaning as: studying comes first, then marriage comes second.

But when he met the girl's clear eyes, the young man fell silent. She trusted him completely and regarded him as her teacher, but he had other thoughts.

For the first time in twenty-four years, Lin Huaixu felt that he was worse than a beast.

He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. She was just a child who didn't understand anything, yet he had been lusting after her and even wanted to interfere in her marriage without her knowledge.

That's disgusting.

Lin Huaixu couldn't help but avoid her eyes.

Qi Yang was completely unaware of his thoughts. She carefully wrote down her solution steps on the paper. When she encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, she would make a mark next to the question with a pencil. After going through the whole paper once, she would go back and calmly break down the difficult points.

Lin Huaixu sat to the side, his notes in his hand unreadable for half a day, but he had a clear understanding of the problem-solving habits of the person next to him.

It wasn't until Qi Yang put down her pen and pushed the completed exam paper in front of him that he finally understood.

Lin Huaixu instantly composed himself and began to carefully review the answers. After reading through the entire paper, there were no mistakes. Her answer steps were complete and her thinking was clear. The mixed feelings of joy and appreciation welled up in his heart again.

"You did very well, but there was one decimal conversion error. Be more careful next time." The man pointed to the wrong answer with his long, slender fingertips, his tone calm.

Qi Yang leaned over to take a look, then pursed her lips somewhat embarrassed.

The sun was setting outside the window, and Qi Yang figured it would be almost time for school to end. She packed up her pens and paper and said goodbye. Seeing this, Lin Huaixu quickly took out a stack of practice papers that he had prepared in advance from the wooden cabinet. "The mock college entrance exam papers that I promised to make for you are finished. You can take them with you."

Qi Yang was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lin Huaixu to be so efficient. She carefully held the test paper in her arms and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin."

After saying goodbye, the girl turned to step out the door. Just as she did, Lin Huai almost instinctively stood up and quickly followed her, saying, "I'll go with you."

Qi Yang stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion.

Lin Huaixu said calmly, "Your younger brother has been skipping classes a lot lately and isn't paying attention in class, so I'm planning to make a home visit to you."
