Everyone followed Chen Dongyang step by step.
"You'll get the electricity connected soon? Can you play it?"
"I can't play it, but your Teacher Jiang can. What? Do you want to hear it now?"
Everyone nodded in unison, more expectant than the last.
Coincidentally, Chen Dongyang wanted to see Tiantian, and found an excuse.
"Alright, I'll satisfy you. Go call Teacher Jiang over."
A short boy, like a clever rabbit, dashed towards the classroom.
He rushed to the classroom door in a few steps, then suddenly became shy, stammering as he looked at Tiantian.
"Jiang, Teacher Jiang..."
Tiantian had just sat back down. Seeing him smiling at her, she stood up again. "What is it?"
"He, that person, said he called you."
Tiantian was confused. "Who called me?"
A group of girls who were looking out the window at Chen Dongyang quickly answered.
"That big brother, that new big brother!"
Tiantian was speechless.
Chen Dongyang's charm was truly undeniable.
It seemed that from eight to eighty, no one was immune to his appeal.
Look how infatuated these little fangirls were.
Tiantian went to the classroom door and glanced in Chen Dongyang's direction.
A group of boys stood in front of him. She didn't know what he was saying to them, but everyone was looking at him with admiration.
Seeing the girls still peeking out the window dreamily, Tiantian called to them.
"You like him that much? Then come with me to see."
They could see the handsome guy up close. With a cry, everyone pushed each other, shyly and timidly following Tiantian out the door.
Tiantian led a group of girls, while Chen Dongyang was surrounded by a group of boys. They met on the campus.
"Why did you call me over?"
Chen Dongyang smiled at her. "I'll get the electricity connected for you at the cafeteria. I plan to convert it into a music classroom. They want to witness the piano's splendor first. Can you perform something?"
Tiantian couldn't sleep last night, still thinking about which place would be more suitable to convert into music and art classrooms.
She had also thought of the cafeteria.
Before she could even propose it to the principal, Chen Dongyang had already made arrangements.
It was truly a case of telepathy.
It felt wonderful when something important to you was also cared about by someone else.
Seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, Tiantian couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, I'll go get the piano."
A group of girls, as if afraid she couldn't carry it, swarmed after her.
Entering the office and seeing the beautiful electronic piano, they seemed to have discovered a new continent and liked this beautiful and gentle new teacher even more.
Tiantian walked with the piano, surrounded by the girls. They pushed each other again, and one bold girl spoke up.
"Teacher Jiang, is that big brother your boyfriend?"
Tiantian didn't expect these little ones to know so much.
"You even know about boyfriends? Do you know what a boyfriend means?"
"I know, I've seen it on TV. You two are so well-matched. Like the kind of boys and girls in TV shows. So he's your boyfriend, right?"
Tiantian didn't answer, smiling and evading. "You'll know in the future."
Chen Dongyang took a group of boys to the cafeteria and first found a master to get an electrical socket and place it on the ground for Tiantian to use later.
The group followed him closely, as if watching something.
Finally, a bold one asked.
"Why are you here at our school? Are you teaching? Or did the principal ask you to be an electrician?"
Electrician?
Chen Dongyang didn't expect that was how he appeared in the eyes of these children.
"Do I look like an electrician to you?"
"Yes."
After saying that, the boy seemed to regret it and quickly corrected himself.
"No. What exactly do you do?"
Chen Dongyang didn't know how to explain it to them. He thought for a moment.
"You'll know in the future."
Children's minds were similar. He looked particularly pleasing and charming, and was very well-matched with the new Teacher Jiang. They couldn't help but ask.
"Are you Teacher Jiang's boyfriend? Are you here to accompany her to class?"
Chen Dongyang casually pulled up a chair and sat down at the dining table, looking at this group of curious and impetuous little ones.
"What's wrong? What do you mean by asking that? Do you have a crush on Teacher Jiang?"
With a rumble, everyone blushed and laughed shyly.
He pointed at them with his finger, pretending to be serious.
"That's right, I am her boyfriend. I'm here specifically to protect her. I'm warning you. Behave yourselves and pay attention when you're in her class. Don't bully her. If you dare to be naughty or do anything to hurt her, I'll whip you."
These children didn't have the arrogant mischievousness of city kids.
Although they wanted to be mischievous in front of him, timidity prevailed.
After he scared them, they all stopped smiling and stared blankly, not daring to speak.
Chen Dongyang thought he had frightened them. He paused, then changed his demeanor.
"Of course, if you behave and make Teacher Jiang happy, I'll treat you well too."
"For example... do you want to take a bath at night? I've rented a big house in town and plan to build a beautiful shower room. If you do as I say, I'll drive you to my place to take a bath in the future."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became happy again.
Many of them had never even ridden in a car before!
"You have a house? And a shower room? Is it like the ones on TV? Where water sprays down from above when you press a switch?"
"That's right, the showerhead can also be removed and held in your hand. You can spray water wherever you want."
Everyone's eyes showed longing.
Chen Dongyang didn't expect to win them over with such small favors. He seized the opportunity to press further.
"Alright? Deal? Promise me?"
Despite their longing, they knew the principal didn't allow them to go out.
The school gate was locked every day, and Chen Dongyang couldn't possibly take so many people out at once.
Suddenly, no one spoke.
Just as Chen Dongyang was about to scold them for being so cowardly, for not daring to agree to such a small matter, Tiantian walked in, surrounded by admiration.
After connecting the plug, she told everyone that the break time was short and she would play a few notes for them casually. She would teach them properly when the music class was officially scheduled in a couple of days.
Then, under everyone's gaze, she quickly played half a song.
Everyone listened with rapt attention, their eyes fixed on the piano, almost forgetting class time. At this moment, the principal returned.
"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here? Aren't you in class? Go, go, all of you get out."
But everyone's attention had already been captured by the piano and Chen Dongyang, and they didn't want to leave.
They looked at him reluctantly, but the principal had to chase them away several times before they reacted.
The principal's authority was challenged. He couldn't help but shake his head and say to Chen Dongyang.
"These children. If you say they're mischievous, they've been raised by their grandmothers since birth and have hardly had any contact with adult men. They lack masculinity and aren't that mischievous."
"If you say they're not mischievous, sometimes they talk as if they don't have ears, they just don't listen. I really don't know how to describe them."
Chen Dongyang didn't quite understand. "Why were they all raised by their grandmothers from birth?"
