After rebirth, they all moved into my house.

"Gu Jiuyi's family is not simple, right? Teachers know that No. 1 Middle School is the strongest public high school in Yunhai. To be frank, only someone with a lot of connections can transfer to No. 1 Middle School. Not to mention someone like Gu Jiuyi, who can be assigned a class upon admission and even has the principal tell us teachers, 'Take care of her as much as you can.'"

"Lu Yuan, I don't need you to tell me. I already know that Gu Jiuyi's family background must be extremely terrifying. I'm not a fool."

Old Chen held his forehead helplessly, and Lu Yuan was unable to refute what Old Chen said, because his guesses were basically correct. Gu Jiuyi's family background was indeed extraordinary, and he had seen it with his own eyes.

He was still wondering what Lao Chen would say next, but Lao Chen suddenly slammed the table with a loud noise, which scared him!

"But it's a long way to go. You know what? I'm an educator, Old Chen! Do you understand? Since I teach at No. 1 Middle School, I have the obligation to ensure that you students abide by the school rules and regulations and to encourage you to study."

"Yes, I don't deny that you have indeed stimulated Gu Jiuyi's enthusiasm for learning, and even stimulated the learning enthusiasm of Xiao Yida and Tao Ye. But, have you ever thought about how much you and Gu Jiuyi will bring about the change in the atmosphere of the class?"

"If it were before, you and Gu Jiuyi would just sit together, and your classmates would think that she worked so hard every day to catch up with you, so it would be reasonable for her to sit next to you. After all, you and Gu Jiuyi are the only two boys and girls sitting at the same table in the class, and the male-to-female ratio is 25:23. There's no way you can sit together."

"But what? You've even put on the ring, what else can I, Old Chen, say? Still saying you're not in a relationship? Isn't that a slap in my face, a slap in the face of the dean of studies, a slap in the face of the principal, and a slap in the face of No. 1 Middle School?"

Old Chen was heartbroken. Having lived to such an old age, he and his wife had certainly had their moments of passionate love, and of course they were still in love now. Naturally, he understood the meaning of wearing a ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

Even if there are students in the class who don’t understand, the students who do understand will definitely explain it to the students who don’t understand. After all, Gu Jiuyi and Lu Yuan, the desk mates, attract too much attention. Old Chen is sure that within the morning, the whole class will know that Gu Jiuyi and Lu Yuan have become a couple, and some may even think that they are engaged!

Lu Yuan scratched his head awkwardly. In his impression, if the ring was not worn on the ring finger, it would not matter. It would just be a piece of jewelry without much meaning.

He tactfully explained his point of view to Lao Chen, who suddenly widened his eyes. After looking at him for a while, he concluded that Lu Yuan was not lying, and then he rubbed his temples with a headache.

I opened Baidu and searched for how to wear a ring for girls and its meaning and showed it to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan was immediately stunned.

"Lu Yuan, I'll ask you one last time, are you really not in a relationship with Gu Jiuyi?" Old Chen asked, holding his glasses.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and replied:

"No."

"Then was the ring on her finger given to her by you?"

"...I originally intended to give her a necklace as a reward for her monthly exam, but it was misunderstood and replaced with a ring."

"...Wait for me for a moment."

Old Chen covered his face with his hands. It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Yuan's words, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his more than 20 years of teaching.

In the past, there were many examples of students being admitted to No. 1 Middle School through forced admission, but he had only seen one case like Gu Jiuyi, and that was her.

"Lu Yuan." Old Chen slumped back in his swivel chair and said to Lu Yuan, "Old Chen, I can allow you and Gu Jiuyi to sit together and be affectionate to a certain extent, but can you go back and ask Gu Jiuyi to take off the ring? After all, this has a really bad influence. I'm an educator, and this is already my biggest concession."

"If you can't do that, then you shouldn't sit together."

"No matter how much Gu Jiuyi protests, even if she uses her family connections to put pressure on me, unless the principal and the Academic Affairs Office personally decide to remove me from my position as homeroom teacher, I will not let you sit together!"

"Go back if you understand."

After saying that, Lao Chen closed his eyes and ignored Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan felt that Lao Chen's body seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. There was nothing he could do about it. Lu Yuan could feel that Lao Chen's life was indeed not easy.

He is very strict in teaching and is a qualified educator. He is worthy of the school, the students, the parents and himself.

Unless the principal personally orders him to do so, he will treat every student strictly and will not favor any student just because of their good grades. He will be fair and just and will never be biased.

But now he has to play the bad guy for the sake of his teaching career.

Lu Yuan knew that he could not be selfish, and neither could Gu Jiuyi. This was a school, Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, and they were students of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, so they naturally had to abide by the school rules.

He had to persuade Gu Jiuyi to take off the ring before the morning reading ended.

When he and Gu Jiuyi arrived in the classroom, there was no one there yet. They were the first to arrive.

When I came back from the rooftop with Tao Ye and Xiao Yida, it was almost time for class. Except for those two people, basically no one noticed the changes in Gu Jiuyi's fingers during this period.

The best time to persuade is during morning reading.

He knew Gu Jiuyi would listen to him.

But she will be sad for a long time.

29. Parents

After returning to school, Tao Ye and Xiao Yida naturally took Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi to the rooftop.

Facing Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi standing together, Tao Ye clasped his fists deeply and said:

"We're not as skilled as our opponents in this exam, so we're both willing to accept the loss!"

Xiao Yida followed closely behind:

"I'm willing to accept defeat, a gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

Lu Yuan nodded, and he and Gu Jiuyi waited quietly for the two to perform.

Tao Ye and Xiao Yida looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"Father! Mother!"

When he heard the two of them calling him dad in unison, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

But what the hell is that second word "mother"?

Gu Jiuyi immediately blushed and hid behind Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the two idiots in front of him who remained calm, and said in a cold voice:

"What were you two talking about? Say it again if you dare?"

Xiao Yida and Tao Ye looked at each other, touched their heads, and felt a little confused.

I've never heard of such a strange request.

So they shouted even louder.

"Dad!!! Mom!!!"

With two bangs, Lu Yuan gave each of them a brain explosion.

Lu Yuan thought it was outrageous, extremely outrageous.

We agreed to call him dad, so why did mom suddenly appear?

"What's wrong with you? We agreed to call you dad, don't change the subject!"

Fortunately, we are on the rooftop now and no one heard what happened, otherwise the dean would come to our house soon!

Calling dad and mom, won’t it be considered as school violence, bullying weak students and ignoring seniority?

Lu Yuan said he would never take the blame!

But Tao Ye and Xiao Yida felt aggrieved. They both saw that Miss Gu was wearing a ring on the middle finger of her right hand!

Nowadays, only Miss Gu in the school dares to wear the ring on the middle finger of her right hand openly.

Even if they all knew that they had low emotional intelligence in the past, and therefore studied hard to understand the meaning of wearing a ring on the middle finger of the right hand, then there is no reason for Miss Gu and Brother Lu not to know it.

So they feel wronged. They dared to resist the dean and others, but are too embarrassed to admit it?

Then why wear a ring?

The two exchanged glances for the third time, then shouted in unison:

"No matter what, we're going to call you daddy and mommy!"

Lu Yuan was so angry that he was about to burst into tears. However, Gu Jiuyi behind him did not explicitly forbid him from shouting like that. The letter of challenge also promised that it was enough to shout once and there was no need to shout again in the future.

After all, we are all classmates and we see each other every day. If others know that I have two fathers, it would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

Not only did they feel ashamed, Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi also felt ashamed.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, rubbed his temples to relieve the headache, and took Gu Jiuyi downstairs.

When I was almost at the classroom door, I happened to meet Old Chen who came to inspect the morning reading.

Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi greeted Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, good morning."

Old Chen nodded to indicate that he understood.

Tao Ye and Xiao Yida followed behind them. Seeing this, they suddenly had a bold idea.

After exchanging glances secretly and confirming each other's intentions, they smiled maliciously.

Tao Ye took a bold step forward and extended his right hand to Lao Chen.

"Old Chen, please stay!"

"We must fulfill our promise after failure!" Xiao Yida said immediately afterwards.

Lu Yuan immediately realized what these two idiots were trying to do and hurriedly tried to stop them.

However, Lao Chen patted his head, remembering the declaration of war from these four people, and said:

"Then, while there's no one outside, you should fulfill the contract. Remember to keep your voice down and don't disturb the students in the class."

"Don't!"

Lu Yuan stared anxiously and swung his fist to warn Xiao Yida and Tao Ye, but the two seemed to be sure that Lu Yuan would not dare to attack in front of Lao Chen.

So they stretched out their hands and clasped their fists towards Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi and said:

"Father! Mother!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes went dark and he thought it was all over. However, Gu Jiuyi stood in front of Lao Chen without any fear. Lao Chen blinked in confusion.

Although it felt a bit strange to call them dad and mom, she did so deliberately in front of him, and it was not a requirement in the declaration of war. Old Chen always felt that something was not right.

However, the next second, he suddenly shifted his gaze away and looked at the ring on Gu Jiuyi's right hand. After a few seconds of hesitation, his gaze shifted between Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi.

Old Chen took a deep breath, trembling and nodded.

Okay, little boy, you should be so open about your relationship, right?

If I can’t handle Miss Gu, can I handle you?

"Come to the office with me."

Old Chen pointed at Lu Yuan and left. Lu Yuan was forced to bite the bullet and go to the office with Old Chen to be scolded.

Seeing that their show was going well, Tao Ye and Xiao Yida stretched out their hands and hit each other.

But their hands were still in the air, and they suddenly felt that their body temperature had dropped a lot.

This feeling…

scary!

"You two."

Gu Jiuyi stood quietly in front, her silver hair combed into a ponytail, revealing her white neck and soft profile.

She just stood there quietly, her waist so slender that it seemed unable to withstand a firm grip.

When she was with Lu Yuan, she seemed so gentle and considerate.

But now Lu Yuan is gone, and she seems to have revealed her true nature.

Xiao Yida and Tao Ye couldn't see her face, but they could hear her emotions from her cold tone.

She was angry.

"That, that..."

Just as the two were about to apologize, Gu Jiuyi waved his hand to interrupt them.

"You two go buy some milk tea, and I'll forget what happened."

"Okay, okay, I'll go after class."

"Now go."

"But...morning reading is about to begin..."

"Now."

"Yes!"

"I want to buy two cups, and one for Lu Yuan."

------

In the office, Lao Chen sat in a chair and made himself a cup of coffee, while Lu Yuan stood beside him waiting.

During the morning reading period, subject teachers usually do not come to the office so early, but enjoy breakfast in the cafeteria, or drive to school, while other class teachers go to patrol their own classes.

Therefore, there are only Lu Yuan and Lao Chen in the office now.
