Seeing Wang Ruo's smile, Chen Xue and Li Moran were both a little confused. Wang Ru didn't explain, but instead went up to the fortune-teller and said, ”Sir, hello, I'm sorry that my words have offended you. After what she said just now, I really admire you, you're quite accurate, but for the sake of us being students, please forgive us for our rudeness.
The fortune-teller refused to let him go, ”Young lady, we agreed on 200. Since you admit that what I said is reasonable, why did you decline the offer? ”Why should you make it difficult for a poor man like me?”
Wang Ruoruo replied with a smile, ”Sir, I know that you're living a life of fortune telling. To be frank, this is a way to earn a living. We all know that if you know about fortune and misfortune, why do you have to work so hard to earn less?”
Wang Ru had read some books on fortune-telling psychology. She knew that a fortune-teller could read words, speculate on a person's character, encounter, and so on, but how could someone who didn't know their future know the future of others?
Wang Ru's words left the fortune-teller speechless. He knew he had met an expert, so he said, ”On your account, I'll be kind and forget about it.” With that, he took his clothes and went out to avoid the rain.
Chen Xue and Li Moran admired Wang Ru from the bottom of their hearts. Seeing that the rain was still falling heavily, Wang Ru suggested that they hurry back.
Although they were holding umbrellas, their clothes were still wet. The three of them hurriedly changed their clothes when they returned.
Just as they were about to rest, their homeroom teacher, Teacher Chen, called and informed them that the class would begin at 5 PM. Seeing that there were still two hours left, they immediately fell asleep.
Soon, it was time for the class reunion.
Seeing that all the students were present, Teacher Chen first urged the students to prepare the thesis and find a job, announcing the relevant decisions of Pao Yan and Imperial Examinations, and then announced a major decision — — Lanzhou University's College of Arts, after leading the research, decided to launch a short story competition for the whole university. The first prize would be one, with a prize of 50 thousand yuan, the second prize would be two, the third prize would be 20 thousand yuan, and the third prize would be three, with a prize of 5,000 yuan. After the announcement was made, the teacher lightly said, ”I don't plan on telling you about this decision, because you don't have the time right now. But I still have to go through the procedures to let you know about this.”
After the announcement was done, the students asked some questions, and after Teacher Chen gave the answers, the class meeting ended. Teacher Chen informed Wang Ru and the three sisters' class to come to her office after the meeting.
As a homeroom teacher, it wasn't wrong to pay attention to the elite students in the class, but Wang Ruo felt that something wasn't right. This was because his care and concern for Wang Ru far exceeded what a form teacher should have. Sometimes, he was overly passionate, causing her to maintain her vigilance.
Being assigned to the Elite class as well as being the teacher in charge of the class, it could be seen that Teacher Chen was one of the best teachers in the university. Teacher Chen is a doctoral student who graduated from Peking University. His thesis is an excellent doctoral thesis published nationwide. His research in literature is unrivalled. But Teacher Chen was already thirty-eight years old and had never married. According to the students, he once had a girlfriend, but as each of them was busy with their own work, they were separated for a long time, thus leaving it at that.
