Chapter 43 (1/2)

“Sit!” Qin Yue saw the distracted look on Ye Qian’s face again and so she told him to sit.

Ye Qian couldn’t believe that the salary and compensation of teachers could be this good. Even though it was clearly better than it used to be, it was highly unlikely for an ordinary teacher to have her own office. So Ye Qian guessed that this woman must come from an influential family, or else how could she have such benefits? When he heard Qin Yue’s voice, Ye Qian regained his composure and sat on the chair across her.

“Ye Qian, I want you to understand that I don’t care what relations.h.i.+p you have with Director Huang. Since you are in my cla.s.s, you have to follow my rules.” Qin Yue said earnestly.

Ye Qian was a little shocked, after all, he didn’t have any sort of relations.h.i.+p with the toad Huang Se Lang. He thought about it for a while but decided that it would be useless to defend himself. He only nodded his head with determination and replied, “I understand. As long as I am in your territory, I will follow your rules.”

Qin Yue couldn’t help but stare at him, feeling at loss for words. Ye Qian’s words sounded like he was used to talking among those people who were mixed up on the wrong side of the law. What did he mean her territory? Now that she thought about it, this xiaozi could really be a gangster, and he must be a debauchee outside of school so saying these words wasn’t strange for him. After a pause, Qin Yue continued speaking, “Now that you’re a student you have to look like a student. Look at how you’re dressed right now. It’s inappropriate.”

Ye Qian looked down to look at his clothes. He had just arrived from abroad and hadn’t really had time to buy new clothes. Aside from his two sets of security guard uniform, he only had this outfit, a military T-s.h.i.+rt, army pants and combat boots. Every article of clothing and his shoes were already faded because they were old. “Oh, I won’t hide it from you: I only have these clothes.” Ye Qian replied.

“You only wear this outfit all year round?” Qin Yue asked in surprise. She was a girl that liked cleanliness, and she would not dare to wear the same clothes for two days straight, not to speak of wearing the same clothes all year.

“Oh no, not at all. I just arrived from abroad and was in too much of a hurry so I didn’t get to bring my clothes. I still haven’t had time to buy any new ones so I have to put up with this for now.” Ye Qian replied.

“Oh, you went abroad for a while? In which country?” Qin Yue asked.

“The Middle East.” Ye Qian replied.

“Middle East? What did you do there? Study?” Qin Ye asked in astonishment. She heard that that place was currently at war. She had thought that Ye Qian would say he came from Europe’s M country. How could she have guessed that he’d say Middle East.

Ye Qian laughed and replied, “That place is a mess right now, so it’s really easy to make money.”
