Chapter 017 - Teacher Bian, Let's Add Each Other On WeChat

Bian JinYuan looked at the English words written on the sheet of paper in his hand, and then looked at the uncomfortable expression on Lu YunFei’s face.

Lu YunFei stared back and said in embarrassment, “What, it’s the first day of the holiday.”

“It’s the first day of the holiday and you’ve already gotten 8 words that you had previously memorized wrong, and you don’t know how to write a single word from the new vocabulary?”

“I didn’t consolidate my memorization last night, and I haven't memorized the new words yet.”

Bian JinYuan looked at him in exasperation, Lu YunFei looked back at him pitifully. A silent Bian and a tearful Lu.

Bian JinYuan picked up the black gel pen beside him and got ready to mark it. Before his pen touched the surface of the paper, his hand was swiftly grabbed by Lu YunFei.

“Have mercy,” Lu YunFei exclaimed.

Bian JinYuan raised his head to look at him. Lu YunFei smiled and used his other hand to slowly slide the sheet of paper away from him. Bian JinYuan saw him hide the paper behind him, and said helplessly, “Now could you let go of your hand.” Lu YunFei immediately released his grip and smiled at him winsomely.

There’s no helping it, Lu YunFei who had been scoring full marks in the recent spellings was unable to accept that he would be failing this one.

“Let's not mark this one. Wait until the next one. Just mark the next one.”

“Who was the one who said, it’s spelling, be serious about it? Was it you, Classmate Lu?”

“That's right, we have to be serious about spelling, which is why the marking pen needs to be a red pen. Look at your black pen, it’s too half-hearted.”

Bian JinYuan looked at him, and then calmly opened the cashier drawer. He searched for a bit before retrieving a red gel pen and twirled it in front of him.

Lu YunFei looked in disbelief at the red gel pen which had suddenly appeared in his hands. He was so shocked that his eyes turned round. Why would a cake shop have a red pen? This didn’t make any sense!

Lu YunFei saw how Bian JinYuan spun the pen faster and faster, and then a ‘slam’ as it hit the table. He felt that this wasn't a pen at all, but a brilliantly sharpened knife meant to pierce his heart.

Bian JinYuan didn’t say anything, as if to see how he would talk his way out of it.

Lu YunFei acted calm and said, “I’ll go home to memorize it later, really. The next time you test me, I’ll definitely know how to answer everything, so just give me a break this time.”

Bian JinYuan was skeptical about his, “I’ll definitely know how to answer everything.”

Lu YunFei assured him, “Really, if I can’t, then I’ll give you a red packet.”

He said this, and then realized that he didn’t seem to have Bian JinYuan’s WeChat.

“Hey Teacher Bian, let’s add each other on WeChat. If I’m unable to remember my spelling, one word is a hundred. I’ll let it rain red packets for you.”

Upon hearing this, Bian JinYuan thought that his student’s determination seemed quite sturdy, only that his self-control was too lacking.

He took out his phone to let Lu YunFei scan his QR code, “Don’t send me red packets. If you aren’t able to memorize your spelling, then after the holiday, for each incorrect word you’ll have to write it down one hundred times. Practice makes perfect—reading it over a thousand times is no better than writing it down once. If you write a hundred times it should be sufficient for you to remember it.”
