Being yelled at like that, Chen Yuan managed to remain calm, though he was a bit bewildered. Xia Xinyu, on the other hand, was so frightened that she wanted to run away right then and there.

Getting caught in a romantic relationship at Fourth High meant a school-wide reprimand!

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked Lao Mo, puzzled.

"You're asking me what's wrong? What were you doing just now?"

Lao Mo wasn't buying it. Some couples in school would pretend when they were caught, but as long as he interrogated them a little, he could get the truth out of them. This Chen Yuan, who already had poor grades, not even good enough to get into a decent first-tier university, was engaging in puppy love and feeding a girl! Unacceptable!

This student wasn't entirely hopeless; if he improved his English, he still had a chance. But that didn't mean he could relax and do whatever he wanted!

"Oh… Teacher Mo, it's not what you think." Seeing the situation, Chen Yuan explained, "This is Xia Xinyu, my cousin, my aunt's daughter. She's here in Xia Hai to transfer schools. She hasn't enrolled yet, so she didn't have class today. She's here, also, to bring me lunch."

As for the feeding thing just now…

Give me some face, let it go.

"Transferring to which school?" Lao Mo stared at Xia Xinyu, sternly interrogating her.

What a joke, still trying to fool me here.

She could be anyone, but definitely not your cousin.

But if she has good grades…

"Fourth High." Now in familiar territory, Xia Xinyu answered decisively.

"Who is the principal of Fourth High?"

"Zhang Jianjun!"

Xia Xinyu's momentum grew stronger with each answer.

Hearing this name, confirming her identity, Lao Mo's expression relaxed a little. He felt a bit more favorably toward this girl and didn't think Chen Yuan was quite so hopeless anymore.

You can't control young love.

But being around good people will always have a positive influence.

In reality, Lao Mo was an extreme academic elitist, even spouting the outrageous theory, "If someone studies so well, how can they be wrong?"

To put it in chuunibyou terms, in his eyes, students who couldn't get into a top-tier university were trash, with no reason to exist!

And Xia Hai Fourth High was one of the top two in the city, top five in the province.

A Fourth High student, huh?

Ah, good kid, good kid.

A student from Eleventh High?

And from Class 18?

Semi-illiterate!

"Even so, when delivering food, you can sit across from each other in the cafeteria. You can't do this; it has a very bad influence."

The two of them were so close together, like they were dating. If other students saw this and followed suit, wouldn't the school's atmosphere become chaotic?

"…" Chen Yuan was a little speechless. Even eating a meal, feeding his cousin a bite, had to be lectured by the teacher. What kind of youth was this?

No wonder those Qidian authors liked to write about transmigrating into Tokyo high school students and dating Sakura girls.

Before, he thought they were dog traitors; he was wrong, he was wrong, he apologized.

"Teacher, I'll go back after I finish eating," Chen Yuan said, putting on an honest act.

"Mm."

Lao Mo responded coldly with a straight face, as if Chen Yuan owed him twenty points and hadn't paid back, showing no kindness at all.

[13332]

With that kind of temper, he could still live past seventy; Lao Mo was really lucky.

"Daddy!"

Just then, a girl holding a fluffy white puppy ran over. And Lao Mo's face suddenly resembled a steamed bun, creased with a loving but genuinely somewhat perverted smile.

It was a look that had never been seen before.

And at that moment, the numbers above his head jumped.

[13334]

No way, just one "Daddy" added two days to his lifespan?

What the hell!

Watching this man, who seemed ready to abandon even his senior teacher title for his daughter, Chen Yuan made up his mind—in the future, he had to find a girlfriend who called him "Daddy."

"Daddy, have you eaten? You have to eat it while it's hot, don't be hungry."

"Okay, okay, Daddy knows to eat, won't be hungry."

Disgusting old thing, actually using baby talk!

"Why did you bring Xiaobai?"

"Xiaobai is in a bad mood today. Mom and I brought it out for a walk."

It wasn't that it was in a bad mood.

It should be that it was in poor health.

Looking at the [7] above Xiaobai's head, Chen Yuan already imagined the grief of the head teacher when his beloved daughter lost her dog, and the lifespan Lao Mo would lose with a whoosh.

"Teacher's wife, did you bring Dou Dou to school to deliver food for Teacher Mo?"

After the woman, who looked gentle, intellectual, about forty years old, with a temperament completely different from that of Lao Mo, came out, Chen Yuan took the initiative to get up and greet her.

Teacher's wife…

Hearing this, Lao Mo vaguely began to have a headache.

Why is this stinky brat being so affectionate?

Don't think you can get close to me like that.

Your score of a hundred and something is far from enough.

The teacher's wife smiled and nodded gently, "Yes, delivering food for him. But he usually doesn't let me into the school, saying it's not good for the students to see…"

"Why are you telling him this?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." The teacher's wife apologized, then whispered to Chen Yuan, "If it weren't for his precious daughter Dou Dou today, he wouldn't have allowed me into the school."

"Don't talk about these things." Lao Mo's dignity was about to be ruined by his wife; he glanced at Chen Yuan, "Hurry back to the classroom."

"Okay, Teacher, I will immediately…"

Chen Yuan immediately nodded in agreement, but his gaze slowly lingered on the dog in Dou Dou's arms, and he said leisurely, "Teacher's wife, my second uncle is a veterinarian. I played at his house for a while before. This dog seems to be…"

"Seems to be what?"

As the teacher's wife asked this, because her little dog was being discussed, Dou Dou beside her also widened her eyes nervously.

"I'm not a professional, let me state that first… but, it's best to have this dog checked. It doesn't look very healthy. Of course, this is just my guess; after all, I'm not a professional."

Chen Yuan stacked so many buffs, but after he finished speaking, he was still rebuffed by Lao Mo, "Okay, okay, you go to the classroom. You even know how to treat dogs."

"Big brother, is the dog really sick? Is it going to die?!" Dou Dou's tears were already scared out.

"No, no." Lao Mo, who couldn't bear to see his daughter even a little sad, quickly smiled and coaxed, "The dog is just in a bad mood. It'll be fine in a few days."

Indeed, in a few days, he could get a new dog.

"Student, have you encountered this kind of dog before?" the teacher's wife asked gently.

"Yes, I forgot what it's called. But if animals get this, there's a high chance they won't live past…"

"Is the dog really going to die? Is it going to die soon?" With a wail, Xiao Mo cried, heartbrokenly hugging the weak dog in her arms, determined not to hand the dog over to the Grim Reaper.

"Okay, I told you not to scare her, she…"

"Teacher Mo." Her tone suddenly serious, the teacher's wife interrupted Lao Mo's words, and then 'warned' him quite sternly, "You only know you don't want your precious daughter to cry. Have you thought about how sad she would be if the dog died? How many times would she cry?"

With this question, Lao Mo's mind was immediately filled with the sound of his daughter's heart-wrenching cries, causing his heart to ache and his lifespan to drop by several days. Then, he reluctantly said, "Then you take the dog to the hospital when you have time…"

"It's best to do it within a week; this illness can't be delayed," Chen Yuan said firmly.

"Okay, I'll go to the hospital with Dou Dou now."

Holding Xiao Mo's hand, the teacher's wife immediately took action.

But before leaving, she suddenly stopped, looked at the tall, handsome young man, and asked in a gentle tone, as if autumn water rippled, "Student, what's your name?"

"Why do you need to remember his name? He can't even make it to the top hundred on the honor roll…"

"Teacher's wife, my name is Chen Yuan!"

If he couldn't win over Lao Mo, he would start with Xiao Mo and the teacher's wife!
