"I am very sad, really very sad." Chu Yi held his chest. The air conditioner in the classroom was blowing coldly, and his heart was also chilly.
He held a stack of test papers in his hand, which were from yesterday's Chinese quiz.
"The total score is one hundred points, and no one in the class has reached seventy points..."
Chu Yi felt that even if a pig had been studying for more than ten years, it would be stronger than them.
With such grades, not to mention reaching the top five in comprehensive scores by age group, they were definitely last place.
The difficulty of the previous life was okay, but this time he offended Qin Ran who was a masochist. The "copy" difficulty directly went to hell level.
It was harder to make these young masters and princesses study well than teaching disciples in the immortal world.
"Hu Lai classmate, don't laugh. You are the first one I'm asking. As the class monitor what answer did you write?"
Hu Lai became even happier when Chu Yi glared at him.
"You were asked to imitate a sentence. The example sentence is 'If a drop of water represents a blessing then I will give you an ocean.'"
"What did you write? If a piece of meat represents happiness then I will give you a fat pig."
Chu Yi tapped on the desk with his fingers helplessly: "Ma Xin student,don't rely on your good looks to smile so ungracefully."
Ma Xin was son of Municipal Party Secretary with slender figure and delicate features. His peach blossom eyes attracted attention everywhere he went.
"Look at your translation of classical Chinese!"
"The emperor wants Li Bai as an official while Yang Guifei stops him."
"It means that Emperor wanted Li Bai as an official but Yang Guifei stopped him crying. It's 'official' not 'palace'."
The whole class burst into laughter.
Chu Yi continued to read: "And the recitation of ancient poetry, I am convinced by you all. Each and every one is original."
"In those days, there were golden horses and iron men. The next sentence is looking at today, fighting desperately?"
"I advise the heavenly lord to shake his sleeves and shout three times? "
He had made a promise that he would improve in the next monthly exam but now it seemed hopeless.
Of course Chu Yi couldn't deny that these people were very smart, they just didn't use their intelligence on studying.
The students laughed happily while Chu Yi felt sad inside.
Fortunately, Wang Ling had made progress this time with a score of sixty-nine points.
Was she influenced by him?
"Teacher, we are really talented people of our country." Guo Feifei cheered loudly.
She thought this teacher was becoming more and more interesting. The previous hostility was also disappearing.
After all if other teachers saw such test papers they would probably be slamming tables already but Chu Yi was still smiling.
"Okay, let's start class..." Chu Yi began teaching. His level of teaching was average but not bad. However today he seemed distracted as if something important might happen soon.
The sun was scorching hot with clear skies while temperature kept rising making air distort.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a shadow on the roof of the opposite administrative building.
His heart skipped a beat and he abruptly interrupted his writing to ask, "What's today's date?"
"September 8th, sir," came the reply.
The 8th!
He vaguely remembered that someone had jumped off a building at school on this day in his past life. It was even the school flower who had done it.
Thinking about the black shadow he saw just now, there was no mistake about it.
Should he save her?
Chu Yi hesitated for a moment.
If he saved her, it would directly change some people's fate and many things would be affected as well. Chu Yi feared affecting himself most of all. Cause and effect were too complex; perhaps one small action could completely alter his future.
But if he didn't save her, how could he justify it?
"Cultivation is going against heaven itself. As an immortal lord, my heart cannot be swayed by anything." He made up his mind decisively.
"You guys continue with your self-study. I have something to attend to."
"During class time? Where are you going after abandoning your students? You better give me an explanation." Qin Ran stood at the back door in anger.
After resolving their rogue problem smoothly yesterday, she felt that she hadn't been very nice and wanted to apologize while also checking out this guy's teaching ability. She never expected him to leave during class without permission like this though!
Chu Yi was taken aback and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed before quickly saying that he needed to go use the restroom before leaving hastily.
Restroom?
Asking for today's date just to go use the restroom? Did they think they were fooling children?!
The group of students dared not speak up while Gu Feifei stuck out her tongue towards Wang Ling instead.
Facing their principal made them all a bit fearful, but everyone had never seen a teacher like Chu Yi before.
What an oddball!
"You guys continue with your self-study. I'll go bring him back," Qin Ran said angrily. What kind of attitude was this? He still wanted to be a teacher while causing trouble every few days?
And he even said he was going to the restroom when he went downstairs!
...
The administrative building had fifteen floors and the roof was scorching hot with only a slight breeze blowing by.
A young girl in her prime stood there, beautiful and delicate with bright eyes and white teeth. Her three thousand strands of hair cascaded down her waist at such a young age that it made most celebrities pale in comparison.
"Do I have to sacrifice myself for my family? Do I really have to marry that person?"
Her face was pale and haggard, making people feel sorry for her under those curved eyelashes and watery eyes.
She looked into the distance, her heart aching. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed to quiet down, leaving only a dead silence.
"Instead of this, it's better to end my own life." She didn't hate her family because her parents and uncles were also helpless. The family was facing a huge crisis.
But she had her own dignity.
She took off her shoes and walked step by step towards the fence with delicate feet.
Chu Yi arrived just in time to see this scene. The girl was already sitting on the fence.
The wind occasionally blew, causing long hair to flutter.
It seemed as if even the sunlight had softened and the air had become moistened. If it weren't for being on the fifteenth floor, it would have been an extremely beautiful picture.
Truly beautiful!
"What are you doing?" Chu Yi cautiously spoke out loud, afraid of scaring her away.
"Who are you?!" The girl became wary when she noticed someone appearing. Her expression suddenly turned cold and arrogant with a hint of pridefulness.
This was a wealthy young lady; Chu Yi immediately judged in his heart.
Only then did Chu Yi get a clear look at her face. Even though he had seen many fairy-like beauties before, he was still amazed by how stunning she looked right now.
What kind of beauty must that be? It could break one's heart even when pretending to be strong.
Chu Yi couldn't describe it in words.
"I'm your teacher; you can call me Teacher Chu."
"You're really young..." The girl laughed with melancholy. She never expected that the last person she would meet in this lifetime would be an unfamiliar teacher.
"Teacher Chu, before I jump off here, I hope you can remember my name: Luo Luo from Luo River - elegant yet bold."
As she spoke these words, Luo Luo stood up directly on the fence. Her legs were straight and slender, like a poem written by a master painter. Standing at such a height, she had an awe-inspiring beauty.
Chu Yi's palms began to sweat; his current strength couldn't save her instantly.
"Don't do it! Wait!" Chu Yi anxiously said, "You're so beautiful. If you jump off here and die, it will be very ugly - your brain will splatter out and your organs will spill..."
"Teacher Chu, the body is just a skin bag; after death everything is meaningless." Luo Luo smiled beautifully as if seeing through the world. She spread her arms wide open, raised her head high with prideful eyes closed and walked along the fence only relying on feeling.
Chu Yi's mouth was dry; he was afraid that she would fall down accidentally.
Moreover, what made him even more helpless was that this girl was obviously not an ordinary person - her mental capacity far exceeded those of people of similar age.
Suddenly, Luo Luo tiptoed up with her right foot slightly lifted up in rotation followed by jumping.
This was fifteen floors high! Even with Chu Yi's strength he could only see one outcome if they fell down: death!
His heart almost reached his throat.
"Wait for me first," Chu Yi used "Observing Qi Technique", which scared him when he saw it directly.
The girl in front of him had Phoenix destiny - this meant that in ancient times she would have been destined to become an empress or queen. How could someone like this end up like this?
"Has something happened to your family causing you despair?"
Luo Luo paused for a moment then opened her eyes looking towards Chu Yi with some disbelief.
Chu Yi felt relieved and continued speaking: "I can tell fortunes from facial features; you are wealthy but recently experienced some setbacks due to pressure from your family. However, if you can hold on today, your life will be smooth sailing from now on."
