I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 109 Now... I have even more reason to help her...

"Good morning, Teacher Wang..."

Yin Mengran greeted him softly, while Zhou Heng, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

The homeroom teacher was still staring at the two holding hands. Realizing something was wrong, the two looked at their own hands...

"!!"

The next second, as if they had been electrocuted, they immediately let go and pulled their hands back.

Zhou Heng looked embarrassed, while Yin Mengran kept her head down, her heart pounding like a drum, not daring to look her homeroom teacher in the eye.

Students are prohibited from dating, especially during the most crucial stage of senior year in high school. If caught, they will be severely punished.

They've only been together for a week, and now they've been caught by their homeroom teacher. Oh no...

Especially Yin Mengran, she knew very well how much the homeroom teacher cared for her, and as the class monitor, she was now defying the rules, which would definitely disappoint the teacher...

Teacher Wang stared at Zhou Heng, her brows furrowed, her expression very unpleasant.

After a while, she walked forward and said:

"Zhou Heng, come with me. Yin Mengran, go to the classroom and organize the discipline, and get everything in order."

"Okay." Yin Mengran nodded in agreement, while glancing at Zhou Heng beside her with a worried expression.

She didn't know why the teacher only called on Zhou Heng. Was it because her situation was special, so the teacher was making an exception for her?

No matter what, she couldn't disobey the teacher's orders, otherwise she would be harming Zhou Heng.

All we can do now is silently pray that Zhou Heng is alright...

However, if the teacher calls me in, I'll definitely get a scolding and then be asked to break up with my boyfriend, right? Isn't that a teacher's usual tactic...?

Zhou Heng turned around, preparing to go inside with Teacher Wang. Before leaving, he gently patted Yin Mengran's shoulder.

It was as if they were comforting her and trying to put her mind at ease.

Zhou Heng followed Teacher Wang into the teaching building and arrived at the office.

There were only a few teachers in the office at that time; the teachers in charge of the classes had all gone to their respective classrooms to organize their lessons.

Zhou Heng wasn't afraid of the criticism that was about to come. He was used to being criticized by teachers since he was a bad student, and was long since immune to it.

His biggest fear was that the teacher would call his parents in and tell him that he was dating Yin Mengran...

Because he doesn't know his mother's attitude yet, he hasn't told her about dating. What will she do when she finds out?

Now, Yin Mengran also holds a very important place in her mother's heart.

He guessed that if they really weren't allowed to be together, the reason would definitely be related to their studies, and it certainly wouldn't be his own studies, but rather the concern that he would affect Yin Mengran's studies.

Her grades are so good, if I were to let her down, I would definitely get a good scolding.

If they don't approve of them being together, they might find Yin Mengran a separate place to live, separating them...

Therefore, before finding out what's going on, I absolutely cannot tell my mother that I'm with Yin Mengran.

You can just give the teacher a perfunctory answer; even if you verbally agree to break up, you can just continue dating behind their backs.

Anyway, they live together, so as long as they keep a low profile at school, the teachers can't do anything about it.

Teacher Wang sat down, put down her bag, looked at Zhou Heng in front of her, crossed her legs, and asked:

"How long have you been with Yin Mengran?"

Zhou Heng straightened up and replied, "About a week."

"A week?" Teacher Wang stroked his chin, looking somewhat surprised, as if he were thinking about something.

"You were the one who pursued her?"

"Huh? No...it was her...oh no, it was us who pursued each other, there was no question of one of us pursuing the other."

"Oh?"

Teacher Wang's expression became even more intriguing, as if she couldn't figure out something.

However, she did not suspect that Zhou Heng was lying.

She's almost 40 years old and has been a teacher for over a decade; she can tell whether her students are lying or not.

Even though Zhou Heng's answer was hesitant, there was no sign of him lying in his eyes.

Teacher Wang glanced at the other teachers in the office, and after confirming that no one had heard, she...

She asked softly:

"I'm asking you, are you aware that Yin Mengran's family situation is somewhat unusual?"

Zhou Heng nodded without hesitation and answered honestly:

"I know. I knew before Yin Mengran even came back to school, teacher. If you're interested, I can tell you everything, but there's one thing you have to promise me..."

"what?"

"Don't tell my parents about my relationship with Yin Mengran."

Zhou Heng, having already formed a preconceived notion, stated this condition. He still trusted his homeroom teacher, who was much more open-minded than other teachers; at least she should be able to agree to this condition.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Teacher Wang thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to tell me everything exactly as it is, without hiding anything."

Then, she pulled over a chair and gestured for Zhou Heng to sit down.

Zhou Heng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down, then began to tell the story of how he met Yin Mengran.

Of course, he didn't hide anything, because he felt he had done nothing wrong, just like when he told his mother before, because he had a clear conscience.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Heng finished recounting the whole story. He didn't go into details about how he and Yin Mengran got together.

Because he felt that after explaining the whole process, everyone would understand why they got together, right?

Teacher Wang listened intently, occasionally taking a sip of water, as if she were listening to a captivating story.

"Is everything you said true?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said seriously, "Yes, it's true. You can check with my mom. She's already taken Yin Mengran as her goddaughter. But... don't tell her about our relationship for now..."

"After listening to what you said, it seems like you've done something really great. Without you, she probably wouldn't have come to school anymore."

“I didn’t think that much about it. At the time, I just wanted to help her as much as possible. My family couldn’t bear to see such a good girl ruin her life because of family issues, so they chose to help her. Now… I have even more reason to help her…”

Zhou Heng steered the conversation back to the topic of dating.

Teacher Wang fell into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, she looked at Zhou Heng and asked:

"Aren't you sure this will affect your studies?"

"Of course, we will only make progress together. As you know, teacher, I have improved a lot in this monthly exam, and it is all thanks to Yin Mengran. I can guarantee that I will improve in the next exam."

Zhou Heng answered without hesitation that he had the self-control.

Yin Mengran didn't need to worry, as she knew very well that her studies couldn't be neglected.

"okay, I get it."

Teacher Wang nodded, then suddenly opened a drawer to the side, took out an envelope, and handed it to Zhou Heng.

"This is for Yin Mengran. Actually, I should have given it to her a long time ago."
