Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

Qi Yang could understand what Lin Huaixu was saying, but did teachers who made home visits need to bring gifts to students' parents?

Qi Yang looked at what the man was carrying, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher Lin, what's this?"

Lin Huaixu, without changing his expression, said, "Oh, he's my student's parent after all, it's only right."

"......?"

People who didn't know him would think he was visiting relatives.

After school, Qi An immediately spotted her older sister at the classroom door. The little girl rushed over and grabbed Qi Yang's hand, saying, "Sister, you're always so punctual!"

Lin Huaixu stood half a step away, his gaze quietly fixed on Qi Yang's profile.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. The home visit was just an excuse. He just subconsciously didn't want to be separated from her, and even wanted to infiltrate more of her life.

Qi An, with her round little face upturned, walked a few steps before realizing that Lin Huaixu had been following them at a distance.

She glanced quickly at Lin Huaixu, who was carrying gifts, her face full of confusion. "Sister, why is Teacher Lin coming home with us? Do I have to continue teaching at home?"

Qi Yang gently patted the child's soft hair and comforted him, "It's not a class; Teacher Lin is visiting our home."

Upon hearing this, Qi An breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Qi Yang sighed helplessly and whispered, "Teacher Lin, aren't you being a bit too flashy?"

Lin Huaixu remained calm. "It's my first visit, so I brought a small gift. It's not expensive."

Isn't this valuable?

In this day and age, bringing a handful of vegetables when visiting relatives is considered a luxury.

As he spoke, Lin Huaixu naturally took half a step closer to Qi Yang and walked forward shoulder to shoulder with her. The young man could smell the faint scent of soap on her body.

Along the way, Qi An skipped and hopped in the middle, tugging at Qi Yang's sleeve every now and then, turning back to chat with Lin Huaixu, chattering about the funny things that happened in class today.

Lin Huaixu would respond gently to Qi An, but most of his attention was on Qi Yang, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the girl's profile.

Even so, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Lin Huaixu's heart.

As Qi Yang had expected, everyone in the Qi family shared the same surprise as her.

As the group crossed the courtyard gate, Dong Yuehua was squatting under the eaves picking vegetables. Hearing footsteps, she casually looked up and glanced at them, first landing on Qi Yang and her sister. The next moment, she saw Lin Huaixu carrying a full box of gifts, and she froze for a moment.

She jumped up in a panic, "Wait, Yangyang, who did you bring back?"

Just as Qi Yang was about to explain, Lin Huaixu stepped forward first, speaking politely and gently: "Hello, Auntie, I am Lin Huaixu, An'an and Tianci's teacher. I've come to visit you today specifically to talk to you about Tianci's recent studies at school."

Qi Tianci, who had been peeking through the door frame from inside the room, turned pale the moment he heard his name called and instinctively shrank back behind the door.

Upon hearing this, Dong Yuehua breathed a long sigh of relief. Just now, seeing this young and respectable man walking side by side with her daughter, she had assumed that Qi Yang had found a boyfriend.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Hearing the last sentence, Dong Yuehua's heart skipped a beat again. She quickly reached out and led Lin Huaixu into the main room. "I've heard that a new teacher has come to our village, but I haven't met him yet. I'm so sorry, Teacher Lin, for not visiting you first."

"Teacher Lin, please come in and sit down. Why did you bring so many things? It's too much of a formality."

Lin Huaixu gently placed the gift on the table and said calmly, "This is my first visit, and this is just a small token of my appreciation. I mainly wanted to discuss Tianci's studies with you."

Dong Yuehua sat down, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Teacher Lin, please feel free to speak."

Qi Tianci is notoriously difficult to manage; the old teacher had visited him like this before, even when he was still in office.

However, seeing that Qi Tianci repeatedly failed to change his ways and that talking to his parents was useless, they simply gave up on him.

Lin Huaixu glanced at Qi Tianci, who was hiding behind the door, and said calmly, "You probably know that Tianci has been skipping school a lot lately. Also, he tends to get distracted in class and disrupts the classroom order. I'm thinking of working with his family to guide him properly."

"Teacher Lin is right, we should guide her properly." Dong Yuehua's hand tightened.

Lin Huaixu looked over and said in a calm, even voice, "Tianci, come here."

Qi Tianci, standing behind the door, shuddered violently.

Everyone else thought this teacher was gentle and approachable, but Qi Tianci was always inexplicably afraid of him.

Whenever a child misbehaves, Lin Huaixu's gentle demeanor dissipates, replaced by a suffocating aura.

He moved over hesitantly, his hands clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, his head bowed low, barely daring to breathe.

Lin Huaixu's gaze fell on the boy's tense back, his tone showing no softening, "Skipping school and disrupting the class are not trivial matters. If this continues, the school will consider expelling you."

"Drop out of school?" Dong Yuehua was shocked. "Teacher Lin, this won't do! Tianci is our only son. What will we do if he drops out of school?"

Qi Yang watched quietly without saying a word.

Upon hearing Dong Yuehua's words, Lin Huaixu's brow furrowed slightly, but his expression remained calm and unwavering: "Auntie, there are no exceptions. This is a decision made after discussions among all the schools."

Dong Yuehua looked somewhat embarrassed and pushed Qi Tianci forward, saying, "Quickly promise your teacher that you won't do it again next time."

Qi Tianci kept his head down and remained silent.

"If you don't tell, I'll tell your dad when he gets back that this is no small matter, and he's going to beat you up this time."

Qi Tianci gripped his clothes so tightly his fingers turned white. Perhaps Dong Yuehua's words had an effect, for all his usual recklessness vanished, and he said in a low, timid voice, "I... I won't dare to do it again."

Lin Huaixu glanced at him, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he turned to look outside.

The door to the main room was separated by a curtain, but now that curtain was pulled up, leaving no obstruction and allowing him to see the scene outside.

The girl stood with her sisters, all unable to resist watching the scene inside the room. Her little face was slightly tilted up, her round eyes wide with curiosity.

Lin Huaixu curled his lips, then came to his senses and said slowly, "Auntie, the reason I came here today is to declare that the school and the family should work together to discipline Tianci. Parents should also take the lead. If Tianci is caught skipping class again, there will be no room for negotiation."

"Yes, yes, yes," Dong Yuehua quickly replied, "It definitely won't happen again. I'll tell his dad tonight!"

Outside, several girls were gathered together. Listening to the sounds inside, Qi Jing couldn't help but nudge her younger sister with her elbow. Her sister looked over, and Qi Jing asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Qi Yang was shocked: "...Sis, what are you saying?"
