Was I Too Nice to You?

"Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao? Huo Yuhao!"

"Fine, very fine. There were actually freshmen late on their very first day of enrollment. Fine..."

Shrek Academy, First Freshman Class.

Zhou Yi was taking attendance, and her entire face had begun to turn green.

In the classes taught by Zhou Yi, even on ordinary days, students were rarely late for class.

And today, on the first day of school, someone was late?

Unless they had some truly special reason that could convince Zhou Yi, this would not be over.

Zhou Yi would definitely expel such "ill-behaved" freshmen.

"Bai Ran. Bai Ran? Bai Ran!"

Another three calls, yet there was still no response.

Her already green face immediately darkened.

Even the atmosphere in the classroom became oppressive. The freshmen, who had already not dared to speak, now barely dared to breathe.

"Fine, very fine, excellent!

Today, I'll see exactly when those two decide to show up!"

After taking attendance, Zhou Yi did not have the freshmen run laps around the field as she had in the original story.

Instead, she stood before the podium and began waiting quietly.

Actually, the first lesson for freshmen was mainly for each homeroom teacher to explain the academy's rules and emphasize the various regulations in the classroom.

Zhou Yi taking the freshmen out to run laps and expelling those who failed to meet her requirements was completely her own reckless nonsense.

However, the freshmen sitting in the classroom did not know that Zhou Yi intended to take them out to run laps.

Sitting in the classroom now, they barely dared to breathe and felt as though they were sitting on pins and needles.

Thus, in their hearts, these freshmen already hated Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao, the two guys who had been late on the very first day of school.

Meanwhile, Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao.

They were not worried in the slightest. Instead, they were discussing whether tofu pudding should be eaten sweet or savory.

Huo Yuhao: Sweet tofu pudding is heresy. That's something only girls like to eat.

Bai Ran: Savory tofu pudding is heresy.

Actually, Bai Ran did not care whether tofu pudding was sweet or savory.

But Little Seven wanted sweet tofu pudding.

And she insisted on adding lots of brown sugar.

Of course, it also had to be paired with a fried dough stick, and the fried dough stick had to be freshly fried.

What was the difference between a cold fried dough stick and a strip of dough?

"Bai Ran, it's almost nine o'clock. Are we really okay going back to the academy only now?"

If Huo Yuhao had been alone, he would definitely have panicked.

But looking at his good brother beside him, Huo Yuhao felt incredibly reassured.

"Relax. It'll definitely be fine."

Bai Ran shook his head carelessly, then walked into the academy first.

"Bai Ran, don't walk so fast. Wait for me!"

Huo Yuhao was afraid that Bai Ran would leave him behind.

There was no helping it. Senior Brother Beibei and Teacher Xiao Ya had described Zhou Yi, the First Freshman Class's homeroom teacher, as far too terrifying.

Huo Yuhao would be lying if he said he was not afraid.

When the clock reached nine, Bai Ran and Huo Yuhao found the location of First Freshman Class.

The moment they reached the door, they saw Zhou Yi standing coldly before the podium desk. The aura she radiated was enough to frighten any newly enrolled freshman into tears.

But clearly, Bai Ran was not someone who caved under pressure.

After lightly knocking on the door, he prepared to walk inside.

"Stop!"

Over the course of an hour, Zhou Yi's anger had nearly subsided.

Zhou Yi: Perhaps those two children really had some urgent matter and couldn't report in on time?

But when she looked at the two little boys at the door, especially when she noticed the remaining soup stains and crumbs at the corners of their mouths—

Zhou Yi's fury was reignited.

With a bang.

The podium desk's health bar took heavy damage.

"What is it, Teacher?"

Bai Ran knew that being late was wrong, so his attitude remained fairly respectful.

"Do you know what time it is now?"

"It's seven one-twenty."

Bai Ran: As long as I think I'm not late, then I'm not late.

With a bang.

The podium desk's heavily damaged health bar took even heavier damage.

"Smooth talker! What's your name? You don't need to show up in the classroom anymore."

"I didn't call anyone. Also, Teacher, are you planning to give me a vacation?

It's the first day of school, so wouldn't it be inappropriate to give me a vacation?"

"Who said I was giving you a vacation? I mean you don't need to show up in class anymore."

"Teacher, do you mean I'll be on vacation from now on and won't have to come to class?"

"I said you've been expelled! Do you understand what expelled means?!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The podium desk suffered Zhou Yi's repeated slaps and was already starting to buckle.

Huo Yuhao: Am I getting expelled too?

He had only managed to enter Shrek Academy through the Tang Sect's quota.

Huo Yuhao had originally thought that being late would, at most, earn him the punishment of listening outside the classroom.

But being expelled outright.

This, this...

Huo Yuhao tightly grabbed Bai Ran's small hand.

Clearly, he could not accept this outcome.

"What, was I too nice to you?

You're just a demoted teacher, not even a senior teacher. What right does trash like you have to expel me?"

Bai Ran realized that these women were all the same as Little Seven. They all loved pushing their luck.

Give them an inch, and they would take a mile.

At those words, Zhou Yi's face alternated between green and white, and her chest began rising and falling violently.

Having taught at Shrek Academy for so many years, she had seen plenty of unruly students, but this was truly the first time she had encountered one this unruly.
