The Father Who Sabotaged His Son
Wang Yue's mouth twitched. Which jerk had given Fang Yifan the idea to give a turtle to a teacher as a birthday present? That was practically asking to get beaten up.
Wang Yue was genuinely curious about it, so after Teacher Li Meng called Fang Yifan's mother to the office, he handed the turtle to Fang Yifan, who was putting away its cage, and asked in confusion, "What were you thinking? Giving a teacher a turtle?"
Fang Yifan glanced at Wang Yue. Seeing no sign that he was gloating, he said glumly, "My dad. He likes raising them. I figured the teacher's birthday was coming up, so I'd give her something unusual. Then my dad said girls loved little animals as long as they weren't the really timid type, so he told me to give her this. Who knew my mom would chase me around and beat me for it?"
Wang Yue was speechless. There were fathers who sabotaged their own sons like this? Was there something wrong with his head?
He finally understood why Fang Yifan had been beaten. Teacher Li probably hated the gift, so Fang Yifan's mother had decided to teach the little rascal a lesson.
Looking at Fang Yifan's disappointed expression, Wang Yue asked curiously, "Before you gave it to her, didn't you check whether Teacher Li liked turtles? Or whether she was brave enough?"
Fang Yifan looked dissatisfied. "Why would I need to check? Use your brain. With Teacher Li looking so fierce, who'd have thought she was so timid? Come to think of it, did you figure out a long time ago that she only acted tough? Is that why you're not afraid of her? You even said you'd get first place. You might not even manage that
