I Am A Killer

I AM A KILLER : CHAPTER 43 ♦ (SPOILER TITLE)

After Yin Xu Dong said that, his vision blurred and Qin Ke Xuan disappeared in a flash. What happened all of a sudden? He was utterly confused. Was it that he was hungry? Oh right, he sighed mournfully, he hadn't had lunch yet! There probably won't be much food left in the canteen now right? Hurriedly, he dashed towards to canteen to get his food.

Qin Ke Xuan popped her head from behind the wall and watched Yin Xu Dong leaving, her expression still one of blandness. The flush that's flooded her cheeks and neck, however, hadn't gone away. She reached to cup her burning face, biting her lower lip lightly before burying her head in both her arm, not moving.

She only returned leisurely when lessons were almost starting. Someone shouted at her the minute she came in: "Qin Ke Xuan, where did you run off to? Our form teacher's looking for you! She told you to go office when you're back!"

There was a teachers' office installed on every floor of the classrooms. When Qin Ke Xuan arrived, there were other teachers in the office other than their form teacher.

"Qin Ke Xuan! What're you doing here not attending lesson?!" The form teacher reproached her the minute she saw her.

"You're looking for me?"

"How is it that you are you so disobedient despite your refined appearance?! Your frequent absence from school aside, why are you always not properly attending lessons even though you're in school?! Is that how a student should be like? And with your results, you still have the nerve to skip lessons? What are you planning to do, just get by high school till graduation, grab a cert you barely managed to get and go out and make a spectacle of yourself?"

Qin Ke Xuan stood impassively, quietly waiting for her to finish. In her time, teachers in schools often would use rulers to hit the palms of their students for skipping school. So this painless and itchless scolding, to her, was nothing much.

"Say, Song lao shi, there's a lot of other kids skipping school from your class, why'd you especially make things difficult this girl?" Another lao shi sitting on the other desk beside Song lao shi who didn't see things eye to eye with her couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zhang lao shi, when have I made things difficult for her? This student is skipping lessons, should I not reprimand her for doing that then?"

"You were dragged down by your distant (female) cousin she'd reported weren't you? Isn't that why you're making things difficult for her?"

The two of them countered each other and before long, they started quarrelling. The other teachers in the office quickly came over to mediate.

Qin Ke Xuan very automatically left the office and returned to her classroom to attend her lesson. When she heard the teacher teaching Politics "reading the textbook" in front, she pulled out her Physics textbook and continued reading. Qin Ke Xuan was very interested in Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Geography these four topics. Even though the things written in the textbook were very well-founded and often backed up with real examples, there were still some parts she did not quite understand. However, that did not at all affect her interest in these subjects. As for Politics and History, however, she promptly discarded them after memorising and understanding.

After today, the form teacher's attitude towards Qin Ke Xuan was always very poor. However, Qin Ke Xuan did not take it to heart.

As she was heading back home after school ended, she bumped into Yin Xu Dong's his friends, Ah Lang and company. Yin Xu Dong however wasn't among them. Ah Lang and company who had also seen Qin Ke Xuan paid her their respect. She was too epic to dare to trash a lao shi (even though that incompetent lao shi had been sacked already)! Yeah! Even though they've never really liked that woman that had screwed Dong zi round in circles, but they weren't able to do much since she was after all his teacher, and a female teacher at that.
