Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Linlang looked uneasily at the homeroom teacher. She tugged at the corner of her clothes, her expression full of panic.

“Teacher Zhao, I was really wrong. I really don’t know how to do this. Can someone else do it?”

Seeing Ye Linlang’s uneasy expression, the homeroom teacher felt slightly relieved!

She immediately snorted coldly, and her voice did not leave any room for negotiation.

“No! If I want you to read it, then just read it. It’s just a simple matter of reading a sentence and then translating it. What, do you think that I’m making things difficult for you?”

Ye Linlang bit the corner of her lips, her face turning redder and redder.

“Alright, teacher, then I’ll try reading it.. If there are any mistakes or misp.r.o.nunciation, I hope that everyone will not take offense.”

…

Seeing Ye Linlang give in, Teacher Zhao was extremely pleased!

A student should behave like a student!

What was Ye Linlang doing?!

She had secretly broken into the male changing room earlier, and they had all seen it with their own eyes!

A girl should just focus on her studies. Why was she so cheap? Was she trying to attract Jiang Qiran’s attention?

Did she think that Jiang Qiran was worthy of her?!

Why didn’t she look at herself in the mirror?!

What made the homeroom teacher dislike her the most was that not only did Ye Linlang provoke Jiang Qiran, but she also played with Yin Zihan so intimately in cla.s.s!

She was shameless!

If all the girls nowadays were like Ye Linlang, how could she control them?!

It was simply a disgrace to grade one Cla.s.s A!

Because Ye Linlang’s English was very poor, coupled with the recent incidents, in the cla.s.s teacher’s heart, Ye Linlang had already become the image of a little delinquent!

Therefore, the cla.s.s teacher deliberately wanted to demoralize Ye Linlang!

Let her know how to be a student!

…

On the other side, Ye Linlang took a deep breath and began to read the cloze that was actually not that difficult.

“Mrs. Jones-was-over-eighty, but-she-still-drove-her-old-car-like-a-woman-half-her-age.”

Ye Linlang stumbled as she read those English words. It was only the first sentence, but she already felt her scalp go numb. She could not continue at all!

The educational resources in the small desolate village were scarce, especially for foreign languages. Even the teachers said that these foreign books were so difficult to learn that they did not even bother with them in cla.s.s at all.

It would be strange if Ye Linlang could learn well in such an environment!

…

When Ye Linlang said the first sentence, her strange English accent, which was mixed with some unknown accent, immediately caused the whole hall to burst into laughter!

“Oh my G.o.d, what is Ye Linlang reading?! I don’t understand at all!”

“That’s so funny! The first sentence was clearly so simple that even elementary school students could read it. Why did Ye Linlang read it with a stutter?!”

“I’m dying of laughter! Listening to Ye Linlang read English, I feel like my ears are burning. Is she here to make fun of me?”

“What kind of accent is that? A country b.u.mpkin is a country b.u.mpkin. If I Were Ye Siyao, I wouldn’t want to admit that I have such an embarra.s.sing sister!”

…

The jeers were like knives, slas.h.i.+ng Ye Linlang’s heart.

She never knew that not being able to read English was such a disgraceful thing in the eyes of the children at these n.o.ble schools.

Yes, even if most of them wouldn’t study abroad in the future, they would often go abroad to gather information. Their spoken English was indeed not something she could compare to.

However, could it be that her stuttering deserved to be ridiculed by these people because of her poor English results?

Everyone in the cla.s.s looked at her. Regardless of whether it was boy or girl, almost everyone’s eyes were filled with undisguised mockery.

There was also a sense of pride in their own status. It was as if being in the same cla.s.s as Ye Linlang had tarnished their n.o.ble status.

At that moment, Ye Linlang felt as if she was standing on a precipice that was tens of thousands of feet high. There was a vast void beneath her. As long as she took a step forward, she would be crushed into pieces.

It was really sad to be so isolated and helpless.

Ye Linlang closed her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that her eyes were slightly burning. Even if she was a person with low self-esteem, she still had the pride that belonged to her in her bones.

Ye Linlang suddenly stopped reading. She fixed her gaze on Teacher Zhao who looked at her with disdain. Her voice was a little bitter, but it was also exceptionally firm.

“Teacher, I’m sorry. I really can’t continue reading. Please have someone else read it.”

Ye Linlang spoke word by word. She was exceptionally firm. She just wanted Teacher Zhao to understand her suffering.

However, when the cla.s.s teacher saw Ye Linlang’s aggrieved look, they felt that she was venting for her unhappiness these past few days.

It seemed that Ye Linlang still had some sense of shame. She really should be disciplined properly and not tarnish the reputation of grade one Cla.s.s A!

As long as she thought about how she might lose this quarter’s homeroom teacher management pay because of this young girl, Teacher Zhao could not help but get angry.

She looked coldly at Ye Linlang and said resolutely.

“Even if you can’t continue reading, you still have to continue reading! How can you give up halfway?! Everyone in our cla.s.s is waiting to hear what you have to say! Ye Linlang, I believe that other than you, no one else is willing to read such a simple thing, right?!”

The teacher’s words were like a fierce slap to Ye Linlang’s face.

Ye Linlang looked at Teacher Zhao helplessly.

No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that the teacher was not kind to her.

It was indeed her fault for arguing with Yin Zihan earlier in cla.s.s, but she apologized and promised that she would not do it again. Why was it like this?

Ye Linlang didn’t know at that time that what she had done in the past few days was enough to make the homeroom teacher feel unhappy. After all, it wasn’t that fun to have someone block your way of earning money.

Even though Ye Linlang didn’t think that her matter would result in so many consequences, the homeroom teacher saw Ye Linlang’s dazed look and then looked at the entire cla.s.s casually.

“Ye Linlang said she doesn’t want to read anymore. Are any of you willing to read this cloze for her?”

Before the homeroom teacher finished her sentence, almost the entire cla.s.s burst into laughter again. Then, everyone unanimously rejected her!

“No!”

“Only someone with a screw loose would be willing!”

“I think only a ghost would be willing!”

Most of the people who spoke were girls. They were jealous that Ye Linlang could be so close to Jiang Qiran, and that she was even sitting next to Yin Zihan. A “lucky girl” like her was clearly making everyone angry.

And although the boys basically had no grudges against Ye Linlang, they were all just casually waiting to see Ye Linlang make a fool of herself.

High school life was too boring. Wasn’t it interesting to have someone like a clown come out to entertain the public?

…

When Ye Linlang heard those mocking voices, she suddenly realized that she had been isolated, even though she still didn’t know why!

The hand under her sleeve clenched tightly, and just as she was about to forcefully finish reading the cloze, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the cla.s.s.

“I’ll read it for her.”
