Regardless of what the bear children or the professor standing at the door thought, since Teacher Ren wanted to check homework, then there was no one who could stop him. It was clearly obvious that everyone knew at this point. Hence, while forty two of the bear children were s.h.i.+vering and filled with dread, the cla.s.s leader Zhang Fei stood up, his expression filled with admiration and seriousness, and handed in…… three homework books.

Ren Zhu looked at these three workbooks, his expression unfathomable.

“Did no one else write homework?”

The tone of this sentence was clearly very gentle, and could even be used to read aloud some beautiful prose. However, the remaining forty two students in Grade 6 Cla.s.s 8, including Lu Xiao Pang, all sensed a powerful threat. Even the eyes of a few of the timid children were already turning red and teary, filled with grievance and fear. They estimated that this was probably the first time they experienced the terrible feeling of being dominated by homework.

Ren Zhu nodded, “Since it's like this……”

The bear children were all nervously staring at Ren Zhu, afraid that he would ruthlessly say that he'll hit the palm of everyone's hand ten times. Their hands were white and tender, they're really unable to stand being beaten! Furthermore, just from seeing their boss crying to that extent, they knew that using a steel ruler to hit the hand was very painful.

“Then I'll just punish all of you to write your homework twice.” Ren Zhu said, then looked at the children below. “Are there any objections?”

The students were all relieved. As long as it's not hitting their hands, then writing homework was nothing! Everyone used a joyful expression with renewed life to look at today's big imposing cla.s.s teacher and madly nodded. They even cleverly took out their workbooks and started writing homework. Although their handwriting was askew and very ugly, but so long as they finish their homework then it's all good right? As long as they don't get their palms beaten!

Hence, in the first period literature cla.s.s of the morning, all the Grade 6 Cla.s.s 8 students were writing at a tremendous speed. The three children who had already written their homework: the study monitor, the cla.s.s leader and Zhou Lai, were then called up by Ren Zhu and attentively asked about their knowledge foundation. In the end, Zhou Lai was asked until he was covered in cold sweat, the cla.s.s leader was asked until he was speechless, and the study monitor was asked until he wanted to cry! He clearly had tutoring outside of school, but why was it that in front of Teacher Ren, he felt like he was an idiot!?

Teacher Ren sat at the podium and sighed deeply. When they heard this breath of sound, the children, who were rapidly writing homework, couldn't help but feel their hearts shake. Everyone cautiously looked up and saw the indifferent demonic face of their cla.s.s literature teacher.

“Everyone look up, I'll talk about the future study plan.” Teacher Ren's tone was still considered to be calm, but the children already had a bad premonition.

“Although I'm not the kind of old fas.h.i.+oned teacher who only seeks results, but if my students' marks are too bad, then that would really make me lose face. You are all already twelve years old, you should know the importance of face.” Ren Zhu touched his bandaged head. “Yesterday, I was very sad after I was beaten. I feel that I absolutely cannot be a faint-hearted teacher, otherwise anyone can beat me. Then I may as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. Concerning face and life, this is not a small matter. Hence, from today onwards, our cla.s.s will have a new beginning.”

When Teacher Ren finished talking, half the bear children in the cla.s.s turned their heads and glared at Lu Ban Ban. Everyone's hearts had the same idea – if you hadn't dared to beat up the teacher yesterday, then the teacher wouldn't have suddenly become such a big terrible demon! Everyone couldn't help but feel that it served Lu Ban Ban right to get beaten. No matter how undisciplined you are, you still shouldn't hit the teacher! Even Lu Ban Ban himself began to regret his behaviour yesterday. His hand was really very sore, the entire hand was swollen!

“I think we should aim for morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetic sense in your education to work towards all-around growth. In order for you to have a bright future and become pillars of society, I will talk to each of you one to one, and then provide guidance according to your strengths and interests. Rest a.s.sured, since you are my students, I will take responsibility for your futures. Even if your parents don't care about you, I will provide you care; even if your family has no money, I can subsidise your education; even if everyday your father is drinking and your mother is playing mahjong, I will visit your home and try my best to let you have a good learning and living environment. I will use my utmost efforts to teach you all the rules of life and skills for survival!”

Ren Zhu looked down at the children's eyes that were growing brighter. He suddenly raised his voice, firmly and clearly said: “No matter what you study, I ask you all to please be kind-hearted, determined and useful individuals of society. This way, after you die, you won't feel like you've wasted your life or be too late for regrets.”

After the cla.s.s students heard this last sentence, they all couldn't help but want to laugh. They were still young; death was still far away. Currently, every child felt like they were the pride of the skies, and that their futures were infinitely bright. How could they possibly regret and think their life was a waste?

Ren Zhu looked at the disapproving looks on their faces and faintly smiled. That smiling expression carried a trace of innocent pampering towards children, but also contained the complex mockery towards adults. So in fact, he still really liked being a teacher. Facing these children, even if they were tyrants, they were still very cute and simple.

Ning Xun leaned against the door and watched that man's smile, once again slightly tightening his palm. He silently started at Ren Zhu's side profile, finding it very difficult to remove his eyes. It seemed that from the moment this person stood on the podium, it was like he was suddenly filled with radiance. It made everyone who saw him be unconsciously drawn to him, watching him seriously speak and occasionally revealing a cunning or indulgent smile towards the children.

Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum.

Ning Xun counted his heartbeat and found it was slightly complicated.

“Alright, let's no say whether you will waste your lives in the future. Now, in order to prevent this from happening, we will start writing homework. For tonight's homework, copy the new characters from the first to third module four times for dictation tomorrow morning. Additionally, read the text in the first to third module three times and think about questions to ask tomorrow. Do you all understand?”

The children nodded spiritlessly, showing understanding. Having not written much homework for six years and now suddenly needing to write homework, they were really not used to it ah…… Fortunately, no matter how tyrannical these children who could go to private schools were, their upbringings weren't bad. Their families invited all kinds of home tutors, so even if they had never written homework, it's not like they didn't know anything. Hence in the next three days, after Ren Zhu understood the children's circ.u.mstances, he was surprised by their knowledge and personal strengths.

But currently, everyone was still honestly writing homework. This one instance of palm hitting was not enough for the Grade 6 Cla.s.s 8 bear children to be completely obedient. Everyone was waiting for when today's cla.s.s ended. As long as Lu Ban Ban called his dad and complained, then maybe their cla.s.s teacher would be changed. So, first endure today and see what will happen tomorrow.

Lu Ban Ban also lived up to expectations. After the first period literature cla.s.s ended, his obese body ran out of the cla.s.s with great agility. It was like there was something chasing behind him, but everyone knew that he was going to complain.

Ren Zhu only took a glance and withdrew his gaze. Today, he only had one literature cla.s.s. The rest of the time, he could go to the office to read some books and write up a teaching plan. As a result, as soon as he turned around, Ren Zhu saw that leaning against the door was a man standing as tall as the door frame.

“……Ze.” How come this person was still here?

Ning Xun had waited with great difficulty for Ren Zhu to turn around, but as soon as he saw his disgusted expression, he almost laughed. “Is Teacher Ren thinking why I am still here?” Ning Xun looked attentively at the person who walked towards him and felt that he must teach this person a lesson. “It's no wonder, Teacher Ren was really grand and powerful. That little fatty was beaten until he cried. Although he openly contradicted the teacher, it's still not very appropriate for Teacher Ren to behave like this. What decade is it? Corporal punishment is now unacceptable. Our school image might be affected because of this incident.”

Ren Zhu said expressionlessly: “The teaching is not strict and the teacher is lazy. If we blindly act for the sake of image and cause education to lose its majesty and intimidating strength, then that would really be the grievance of teaching.”

Ning Xun, as an experienced person, felt that he quite approved of these words. However, he was currently trying to pick out faults. Hence this tall handsome man rejoiced in Ren Zhu's misfortune and shrugged. Using a low voice, he said: “These words are pretty good, but unfortunately the higher ups won't think so. So, Teacher Ren, are you ready to face them?”

Teacher Ren revealed, in Ning Xun's eyes, a very subtle smile: “I have a lot of experience battling against bear children.”

Ning Xun: “???”

“And all the bear adults are grown up from the bear children phase.”

Ning Xun: “……” Seems somewhat understandable. “But the bear adults' strength is much greater than that of the bear children.”

Teacher Ren continued to smile: “That's nothing, just a little more effort. I a.s.sume that Professor Ning's former teacher must have been very exceptional and experienced.” After saying this, Ren Zhu bypa.s.sed him and left, heading straight towards his office. Later on, no matter what happens, it would be unsuitable for the children to see. He had to quickly go back and prepare.

Ning Xun stared blankly for a moment in his original spot. He kept feeling the words that Ren Zhu said at the end had some special meaning. Hm, what was it?

“Achoo!!” An old professor from the Kyoto Research Inst.i.tute suddenly let out a big sneeze in his home, causing the surrounding guards to look over at him nervously. The old professor then waved his hand: “It's nothing. Must be because my bear student did something and thought of me. Ze, I should quickly pretend that I'm busy, lest I need to clean up his mess again!”
