The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574: Chapter 570: Going Home Together

Time slowly passed.

The office was silent, occupied only by Gu Jiaojiao and the two students staring at each other.

Back then, a single teacher taught several classes, so there was no such thing as a break. Grading papers had to be done during the lunch hour or after school.

The school’s facilities were poor and the principal’s budget was limited. The entire school had nine classes but only eight teachers. Including her, the new teaching assistant, and another teacher who was on leave, there were just ten in total.

Because she was new and another teacher was out, the two first-year classes were combined for instruction.

That’s just how things were in those days.

Five minutes passed. The two boys being punished, who had initially wanted to laugh, now felt awkward.

After another two minutes, they simply grew numb. They felt like they could count every last pimple and pore on the other’s face.

Only when ten minutes had passed did Gu Jiaojiao finally speak softly. "All right, time’s up."

The two, who were on the verge of a breakdown, immediately broke apart. The sight of each other’s faces was making them dizzy; they felt like they had to go outside and throw up.

’This teaching assistant is terrifying! We’re never fighting again!’

Gu Jiaojiao ignored their expressions and asked gently, "Have you realized your mistake?"

The two nodded furiously. "We have, Teacher. We were wrong. We’ll never fight again, we promise."

Gu Jiaojiao was satisfied.

"All right, then. I believe you. You’re big kids now, after all. Young men, even. It would be a huge embarrassment if you went back on your word."

"I won’t punish you for this. Just go back to class and behave. And remember, no more fighting."

The two of them were terrified.

How could they possibly dare to fight again? For the foreseeable future, they’d probably want to run and hide whenever they saw each other. The sight of the other’s face was enough to make them feel sick.

When the two obediently returned to their classroom, they were quiet as mice, not making the slightest fidgety move. Their homeroom teacher watched, completely baffled.

Aside from Mr. Leng’s class, it was the first time the teacher had ever seen those two troublemakers be so quiet.
