Chapter 7: Intersection
“Your homeroom teacher will also be changed to…,” the old teacher paused for a moment, looking at them with sympathy. Yin Lingyan had a bad premonition, it couldn’t be… “Teacher Zhang Xingqing.”
“Ah…”
“No…”
After the old teacher finished speaking, screams one after another could be heard. Everyone’s faces showed both pain and joy. Faced with torment and handsome guys, they still… chose the handsome guys.
Why did the students react this way? Because Teacher Zhang is known as the number one devil teacher in our school. Unlike other teachers, the devil teacher is not afraid of the three major forces of Yu Beiyu. She scolds when she should scold and punishes when she should punish, without any leniency. Moreover, she can make all three young masters genuinely convinced. Since the three young masters are convinced, what else can others say? Furthermore, this devil teacher is not old.
Therefore, the title of devil teacher came about.
“Teacher, we can’t bear to leave you.” Finally, a student spoke her mind. She truly couldn’t bear to leave this old teacher who sang lullabies, not because her class allowed sleeping, but because of this natural teacher-student affection.
Other students also expressed their reluctance to leave, and a gentle smile appeared on the old teacher’s face.
“Students, I remember when you first entered high school, I hoped to have the opportunity to be with you until graduation. However, I was forced to be transferred to Class C. I am honored to have taught you. Watching you grow step by step under my guidance makes me very proud. Alright, everyone, restrain your complaints and seriously review and prepare for the first monthly exam. You can have self-study this period. Yin Lingyan, come out for a moment.”
Yin Lingyan, who was suddenly called out, was stunned. She glanced at her side, where her classmates were still lost in the thought of seeing the school hunk in Class B. She was inwardly wondering what the old teacher wanted her for.
“You like design, don’t you? I have an application form for the Jin Guo Design Competition here. You are the only one in our class with this talent, so I wanted to ask if you’re interested.”
“Huh?” Happiness came too suddenly, so much so that she didn’t have time to process it. Yin Lingyan exclaimed in surprise. The Jin Guo Design Competition?
“This is an opportunity. See if you can seize it.”
“I’ll go.” Yin Lingyan thought about it. Indeed, it was a rare opportunity. This was a stepping stone on her path towards her dream, and she should make good use of it.
The old teacher nodded, looked at her with satisfaction, and turned to leave.
Yin Lingyan looked at the old teacher’s retreating back. She had never felt her back so radiant before. It wasn’t because she gave her the application form for the Jin Guo Design Competition, but because of the affection that had developed over a year and a half. It was only at the time of parting that she realized her reluctance.
“Qingran, look.” She showed the application form to Mu Qingran. Mu Qingran was taken aback. When she saw those ten large characters, she revealed a joyful smile.
“Lingyan, that’s great! Design is your strong suit.”
Yin Lingyan smiled. She knew her best friend would say that. She longed to imagine herself on that stage, and a determined expression broke out on her face.

Today was the day for changing classes and moving books. The students were either putting on makeup, singing, or playing games together, as if the reluctance from yesterday was just a dream.
The classroom for Class B was empty. On the blackboard, it still read `Welcome A Class Students`. Balloons and ribbons were hung all around, and the quality of these items was not ordinary. This was the scene that greeted the students as they walked in.
As they walked in, a group of people appeared, led by the devil teacher. Her face had a happy and gentle smile. This teacher was very young and beautiful, about 20 years old. Yin Lingyan suddenly seemed to understand why her management skills were so strong.
