Just as I sat down back in my seat, a voice came from behind me: “Brother Yuan? Why are you so late? School’s almost over.”

The speaker was a friend of mine named Wang Shuo. He was not particularly handsome, but he was a good student.

“It’s nothing,” I replied, tidying my desk. “Something came up at home, so I went back to take care of it.”

Wang Shuo chuckled: “That’s true. A rich young master like Brother Yuan must have a lot of family matters to attend to.”

“Go to hell.” I laughed and punched him.

My family is indeed well-off, but the rest of the school doesn’t know that; they just guess that my family is a little better off than the average family.

Wang Shuo muttered, “Why didn’t the beautiful Chu come this afternoon? This is not like her. She used to come to the classroom dozens of times a day.”

“Who knows?” I chuckled softly. “Perhaps the beautiful Ms. Chu has some private matters to attend to?”

Speaking of this, I can’t help but feel a little proud. Your goddess, the beautiful Chu, was fucked by me in the office for a whole afternoon. Her vagina is still full of my semen, and she even has to wear a panty liner to prevent the semen from leaking out.

“Brother Yuan, you’re here.” Wang Shuo behind him suddenly shrank his neck and quickly sat up straight.

The classroom, which had been slightly noisy, fell completely silent in an instant.

At the classroom door, Chu Ning, dressed in a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers, stared coldly at the people inside the classroom with her beautiful eyes.

Chu Ning stared at the students in the class for a full minute before slowly walking up to the podium.

“Bang!”

Chu Ning slammed her books down on the lectern, her face icy and her tone stern: “You’re always making noise as soon as get out of class is over! Go look at the other classes, what are they doing during breaks?! What’s all this noise about in the classroom?!”

“Did those noisy students consider the other students who were studying? Did they respect the other students?”

The classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My deskmate, Li Jing, didn’t even dare to breathe. I kept my head down, staring at the desk, mimicking the posture of the other students.

“Ring ring…”

Just then, the bell rang quietly for the last class.

Several students entered just in time, but Chu Ning didn’t let them off the hook: “You latecomers, go stand at the back.”

None of them dared to utter a sound; they all stood listlessly at the back of the classroom with their books in hand.

It has to be said that Teacher Chu Ning’s stern and cold demeanor at this moment is completely different from when she was moaning softly beneath me just now.

Chu Ning opened the lesson plan and said, “Your Chinese teacher has something to do, so I’ll be teaching this class.”

“In addition, I would like to announce two more things.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the students looked up immediately. After all, it was Friday, and the two-day weekend was just around the corner.

“The first thing is to take a two-day break on Saturday and Sunday and be careful on your way home.”

Cheers erupted in the classroom.

Chu Ning also smiled, a rare sight for her. Then her gaze suddenly turned to me, and my heart tightened for no apparent reason.

“The second thing is to congratulate Lin on winning the gold medal in the provincial middle school mathematics competition. Let’s give Lin a round of applause.”

After she finished speaking, she clapped first. I looked at her with some surprise, after all, we had spent the whole afternoon in the office and she hadn’t revealed a single word.

“Awesome, Yuan-ge!” Wang Shuo behind me punched me hard with excitement. “You won another award! How many awards have you won now?!”

I gave him a slight smile in response, but then thunderous applause erupted in the class, showing that I was indeed quite popular in the class.

After the applause subsided, I stood up and bowed to the students around me to express my gratitude.

Chu Ning then said, “Lin Yuan is indeed outstanding for being able to surpass students from our school and other schools’ ‘competition classes’ to win the gold medal.” She then changed the subject, “But this is far from enough. Lin Yuan still needs to continue to work hard.”

She took out two bank cards and said, “This is a competition prize of 10,000 yuan, and a school award of 88,888 yuan for Lin. Lin, come up and receive the award.”

I quickly got up and went to the podium to receive the award.

Teacher Chu Ning placed two bank cards and a gleaming gold medal in my hand, then patted my shoulder and said, “Everyone should learn from Lin.”

Dozens of students were staring at me from below the stage, which made me quite embarrassed. I ran off the stage in three quick steps.

“I wish I could be as good as you.” My deskmate, Li Jing, looked at me with some envy. She was an ordinary girl with an ordinary family background and appearance.

“It’s nothing,” I said, scratching my head. “There are plenty of students in the school who participate in competitions, and some win hundreds of thousands in prize money. Look at my little prize money, the school doesn’t even bother to hold an awards ceremony.”

Looking at Li Jing’s envious gaze, I suddenly realized that this nearly 100,000 yuan was insignificant to me, but it was almost a year’s income for an ordinary family.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that the bank card in my hand was burning hot.

In a moment of impulse, I made a decision.

However, I am only sixteen years old, at the age of youthful arrogance, and I have the right to be so.

I stood up and called out to Chu Ning, “Teacher, please use the school’s prize money of over 80,000 yuan to help students in the class who come from impoverished families.”

Chu Ning was clearly stunned and didn’t come to her senses. The classroom was also silent.

After a good ten seconds, Chu Ning finally frowned and asked, “Lin Yuan, are you sure?”

More than 80,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount.

“I’ve made up my mind.” I smiled, stood up, placed the bank card on the lectern, and quickly left.

Chu Ning watched my departing figure, then suddenly smiled softly, her eyes filled with complex and varied emotions.

Approval? Pride? Or satisfaction?

“Brother Yuan is awesome!”

Suddenly someone in the classroom shouted, followed by a continuous chorus of cheers and applause that echoed throughout the classroom for a long time.

“Brother Yuan is so generous!” Wang Shuo leaned forward from behind and shouted at me.

“Stop messing around.” I smiled helplessly and handed Wang Shuo the bank card with the 10,000 yuan prize money.

Wang Shuo was clearly taken aback: “Brother Yuan, what are you doing? I can’t take this.”

I laughed and scolded, “Don’t be so narcissistic, it’s not for you! There are fifty people in our class, and we have ten thousand in our account. Each person is budgeted two hundred. You arrange the activities for tomorrow, and give the money to those who can’t attend in the form of red envelopes.”

“Are you serious, Brother Yuan?” Wang Shuo refused to take the bank card: “You should keep this 10,000 yuan bonus.”

Like other classmates, he didn’t know about my family’s actual situation.

I waved my hand: “No need, I’ll leave it to you. You can do my part for me!”

Two hundred yuan is not a lot for a middle school student, but it is definitely not a small amount either.

“Quiet down.” Chu Ning smiled warmly at me from the podium: “Thank you for your efforts, Lin.”

Seeing that the class was still showing signs of making a fuss, Chu Ning quickly opened her textbook to quell the class: “Let’s begin class now! Open your practice test book to page twenty-three!”

…

While I was listening attentively, a serious question suddenly occurred to me: Zilu received a cow!

If I do this, what will happen to other students when they win awards in the future?

To donate or not to donate?

Am I making things difficult for the other students?

I rubbed my head, feeling a bit of a headache, and Wang Shuo whispered in my ear, “Brother Yuan, what’s wrong?”

I told them the truth.

Wang Shuo scoffed dismissively, “Brother Yuan, I’m not saying this to be mean, but among all these mediocre people in our class, besides you, who else could possibly win an award?”

I chuckled to myself, and made up my mind: if any classmates really follow my example and donate their prize money in the future, then I’ll have no choice but to use my own savings to compensate them.

“Lin Yuan, Wang Shuo!”

A piece of chalk flew from the podium. Chu Ning, her face contorted with menace, said in a cold voice, “You two are talking in secret, are you planning to help the students on duty clean up after school?”

“Lin Yuan, let me remind you!” Chu Ning paused slightly, “Temporary success does not guarantee success in the college entrance examination, understand?”

Wang Shuo and I immediately lowered our heads, not daring to meet her chilling gaze…
