Chapter 10: Daring to Have an Early Romance?!

Chen Yuan remained quite calm after being shouted at, just a bit dazed, while Xia Xin Yu was so scared that she wanted to run away on the spot.

At No. 4 High School, getting caught in an early romance would result in a school-wide criticism!

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan looked at Old Mo, puzzled.

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

Old Mo wasn't buying it. Some couples at school would pretend when caught, but with a little questioning, he could get them to confess. Chen Yuan, who already had poor grades and couldn't even pass the basic college entrance exam, was now involved in an early romance and even feeding a girl. How outrageous!

This student wasn't that bad; he had a chance if he improved in English. But that didn't mean he could relax and do as he pleased!

"Oh... Mr. Mo, it's not what you think." Seeing the situation, Chen Yuan explained, "This is Xia Xin Yu, my cousin, my aunt's daughter. She came to Xia Hai to transfer schools and hasn't enrolled yet, so she didn't attend class today. She came here to bring me lunch."

As for the feeding thing...

Give me a break, let it go.

"Which school are you transferring to?" Old Mo stared at Xia Xin Yu, sternly questioning.

Ha, trying to fool me.

She could be anyone, but definitely not your cousin.

But if she has good grades...

"Fourth High School." Xia Xin Yu answered decisively, now in familiar territory.

"Who is the principal of Fourth High School?"

"Zhang Jianjun!"

Xia Xin Yu's confidence grew with each answer.

Hearing this name and confirming her identity, Old Mo's expression relaxed a bit. He developed a favorable impression of this girl and no longer saw Chen Yuan as completely hopeless.

Early romance can't be controlled.

But the saying "near vermilion, one becomes red" is always true.

In fact, Old Mo was an extreme academic elitist, once stating the outrageous view that "if someone is so good at studying, they can't be wrong."

To put it more bluntly, in his eyes, students who couldn't get into a key university were trash, with no reason to exist!

And Fourth High School was one of the top two schools in the city and top five in the province.

A student from Fourth High School?

Ah, good kid, good kid.

A student from Eleventh High School?

From Class 18?

Half-illiterate!

"Even so, when bringing lunch, you can sit together in the cafeteria, but not like this; it sets a bad example."

Two people sitting so close together looks like they're dating. If other students see and follow, the school atmosphere will become chaotic.

"..." Chen Yuan was speechless. Even eating a meal and feeding his cousin a bite was criticized by the teacher. What kind of youth is this?

No wonder those起点 authors like to write about being reincarnated as Tokyo high school students and dating cherry blossom girls.

I thought they were just rare, but I was wrong. Sorry.

"Teacher, I'll go back to class after eating." Chen Yuan said, putting on an honest face.

"Hmm."

Old Mo responded coldly, as if Chen Yuan owed him 20 points, with no good expression.

[13332]

To have such a temper and still live to be over 70, Old Mo must be lucky.

"Dad!"

At that moment, a girl holding a fluffy white puppy ran over. Old Mo's face suddenly softened, showing a loving but somewhat creepy smile, a look never seen before.

And the number above his head changed.

[13334]

Not to mention, just one "Dad" added two days to his lifespan?

What is this?

Seeing this man, who could probably abandon his senior teacher title for his daughter, Chen Yuan made a decision—find a girlfriend who calls him "Dad" in the future.

"Have you eaten, Dad? You should eat while it's hot, don't let your tummy be empty."

"Okay, I know, I won't let my tummy be empty."

Disgusting old man, using baby talk!

"Why did you bring Xiao Bai?"

"Xiao Bai wasn't in a good mood today, so Mom and I took it for a walk."

It wasn't a bad mood.

It was probably a health issue.

Seeing the [7] above Xiao Bai's head, Chen Yuan already imagined the principal's grief when his beloved daughter lost her dog and the days of life Old Mo would lose.

"Mrs. Mo, did you bring Dou Dou to school to bring lunch to Mr. Mo?"

When a gentle, intellectual woman, about 40 years old, with a completely different aura from Old Mo, appeared, Chen Yuan stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Mo...

Hearing this, Old Mo started to get a headache.

Why is this brat being so familiar?

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

Your score of 100-something is far from enough.

Mrs. Mo smiled and nodded gently, "Yes, I brought him lunch, but he usually doesn't let me into the school, saying it's not good for the students to see..."

"Why did you tell him that?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it again." Mrs. Mo apologized and then whispered to Chen Yuan, "If it weren't for his precious daughter Dou Dou, he wouldn't let me into the school today."

"Don't say such things." Old Mo's authority was about to be undermined by his wife. He glanced at Chen Yuan, "Go back to class quickly."

"Yes, Teacher, I will..."

Chen Yuan nodded immediately but his eyes lingered on the dog in Dou Dou's arms. He said slowly, "Mrs. Mo, my second uncle is a veterinarian. I played at his place for a while. This dog seems to have..."

"Seems to have what?"

When Mrs. Mo asked, Dou Dou, who was talking about her little dog, opened her eyes wide in anxiety.

"I'm not an expert, but... it's best to have the dog checked. It doesn't look very healthy. Of course, this is just a guess, as I'm not an expert."

After stacking so many buffs, Chen Yuan was still scolded by Old Mo, "Okay, okay, go back to class. You think you can treat dogs now?"

"Big brother, is the dog really sick? Is it going to die?!" Dou Dou was scared to tears.

"No, no." Old Mo, who couldn't bear to see his daughter sad, quickly laughed and comforted her, "The dog is just in a bad mood, it will be fine in a few days."

Indeed, a new dog could be replaced in a few days.

"Have you seen such a dog before, classmate?" Mrs. Mo asked gently.

"Yes, I forgot the name of the disease. But if an animal gets this, there's a high chance it won't survive..."

"Is the dog really going to die? Soon?" Dou Dou cried, heartbroken, hugging her listless puppy, unwilling to let it go to the Grim Reaper.

"Okay, stop scaring her, she..."

"Mr. Mo." Mrs. Mo's tone suddenly became serious, interrupting Old Mo, "You only think about not wanting your precious daughter to cry. Have you thought about how sad she will be if the dog dies? How many times will she cry?"

At this question, Old Mo immediately imagined his daughter's heart-wrenching cries, his heart aching, and his lifespan dropping by several days. Reluctantly, he said, "Then take the dog to the hospital..."

"Preferably within a week; this disease can't be delayed." Chen Yuan said firmly.

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

Holding Dou Dou's hand, Mrs. Mo immediately took action.

But before leaving, she suddenly stopped and looked at the tall, handsome young man, asking in a gentle, affectionate tone, "Classmate, what's your name?"

"Why do you need to remember his name? He can't even make it to the top 100 on the honor roll..."

"Mrs. Mo, my name is Chen Yuan!"

If I can't win over Old Mo, I'll start with Dou Dou and Mrs. Mo!
