There's no way she could admit it.
It was clearly Zhao Youting who was just too annoying.
Qin Qiaoer checked the time. Figuring it was about time, she walked lightly onto the podium.
"Dear classmates, we've almost reached the last stage of today's reading class."
Hearing the voice, the kids all looked up and fixed their eyes on Qin Qiaoer.
Qin Qiaoer naturally gave them a warm smile.
"Are you all ready to share your thoughts on today's reading?"
"Ready!"
With the long - drawn - out tone that primary school kids love to use, their responses were truly adorable.
Qin Qiaoer nodded in satisfaction.
"So, who wants to be the first one?"
The kids all raised their hands very cooperatively.
Then the regular sharing session began, and everything went smoothly for the most part.
Qin Qiaoer was really an amazing woman.
Looking at her calmness and gentle smile, Zhao Youting couldn't help but think.
The flustered, blushing, and passionate woman at noon could also show such a gentle expression. She was like a precious treasure shining in the sun. He'd never met such a woman before.
As he thought this, he waved the director, who had been waiting nearby and didn't dare to go far, over. After whispering something to him, the excitement in the director's eyes was so obvious.
It caught Qin Qiaoer's attention, and a look of wariness flashed in her eyes. If the director's team colluded with Zhao Youting, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.
It would be better to end this class earlier. She hoped it would end up as a short clip that flashed by with cheerful and relaxing music after editing.
"Okay, this is the last chance to share. Is there anyone else who wants to speak?"
Zhao Youting raised his hand without hesitation. "Teacher, I do."
The whole class had benefited from Zhao Youting before, and now they all turned to look at this handsome big brother.
The director beside him was frantically gesturing, but helplessly, Qin Qiaoer, with a bit of resignation and almost gritting her teeth, said with a smile, "Then please come up and share, classmate Youting."
"Okay."
Saying that, Zhao Youting walked gracefully onto the podium.
Qin Qiaoer had to step aside. Although she was reluctant, there was nothing she could do but give in.
"Kids, have you ever heard the saying that a person is a book?"
Here it comes. A bad feeling welled up in Qin Qiaoer's heart.
The kids nodded.
"So now, what I'm going to share with you is not just an ordinary book, but a real person."
The kids, who had been sitting upright, started to discuss among themselves.
Zhao Youting continued, "She smiles very gently. When she smiles, it's as if there are stars in her eyes. Although sometimes she can be really grumpy, she's always extremely serious when doing what she should do."
"She'll do everything she can for the kids she loves, even if it means sacrificing her most beautiful years."
"She's very special. People can't help but want to get closer and get to know her, but they can never figure her out. If I have to describe this feeling, it's like she's shining and attracting people to approach."
As he was talking, he would look at Qin Qiaoer from time to time. Thinking that many cameras were probably focused on his face at this moment, he couldn't stop smiling. Meanwhile, Qin Qiaoer's ears had already turned bright red.
"Saying something like a confession in front of the kids. Aren't you ashamed?" She thought to herself, but in fact, a faint blush of emotion had spread across her face.
Suddenly, Zhao Youting stopped his description and turned his gaze to the kids. "Have you guessed who I'm talking about?"
The kids all shook their heads. A few smarter ones shouted out, "It's Teacher Qin!"
A smile played on Zhao Youting's lips. Qin Qiaoer on the side felt that she probably couldn't escape. She was almost desperate.
She could only watch Zhao Youting's lips move. Who would have thought that what he said was, "It's not just your Teacher Qin. It's also all the good teachers who have always cared about and loved you, right?"
The kids all answered in their innocent voices, "Right."
Qin Qiaoer was almost petrified. "Huh? You were being so ambiguous and looking at me while talking, and then you come up with something like promoting positive energy at the end?"
She looked at Zhao Youting in shock and found that he was observing her reaction. When he saw her looking at him, he even gave her a sly smile.
If his little fans saw this sly smile, they might be so excited that their screams could break through the sky.
But right now, Qin Qiaoer just wanted to punch this handsome face.
After "revealing the answer", Zhao Youting gave a monologue that was so touching it could be used in a public - service advertisement, praising and being grateful for the great love in the world.
The kids and the director's team were almost in tears.
"You're really amazing, Mr. Zhao... Mr. Youting. Your speech, with its superb structure, is truly admirable."
After class, finally ending this nightmare, Qin Qiaoer "couldn't help" but "praise" Zhao Youting as they walked out of the classroom together.
Zhao Youting then turned to look at her. "I'd be happier if you could be more sincere."
Qin Qiaoer turned her head away sulkily, not wanting to meet his gaze.
Zhao Youting didn't seem to care much. His words were still sharp. "So, Miss Qin, are you angry now because I didn't say those words to you?"
"..." Qin Qiaoer's face was covered with a metaphorical black line. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Youting?"
"I just want to find real - life evidence that we can argue and get angry with each other."
Zhao Youting actually sounded quite serious.
After a moment of silence, Qin Qiaoer suddenly burst out laughing. "Pfft... Hahaha."
Seeing Zhao Youting looking a bit confused, she laughed even harder. "I never thought that our Mr. Zhao would have such a childish side."
Now it was Zhao Youting's turn to retort. "What did you say?" His tone carried an involuntary authority.
But Qin Qiaoer was unyielding and confident. "Haha, stop pretending. You're not really angry."
Indeed, just as Qin Qiaoer said, Zhao Youting didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he was becoming more and more interested in Qin Qiaoer.
"I wasn't angry a long time ago. It was just that your actions were so dangerous that I had to avoid you."
Of course, it was a lie.
But Zhao Youting believed it.
After Qin Qiaoer said that, to cover up her nervousness, she ran towards the other guests who had already taken their positions.
Zhao Youting was left there, wondering if he had overreacted.
And that was that.
In the second half of the social - practice class, Zhao Youting was defeated after being fooled by a few words.
