DCBS: Chapter 51

The surrounding air seemed to fall quiet at Bai Shuqiao’s gentle and kind voice. Many students showed incredulous expressions on their faces before they quickly controlled them. Even so, their eyes lingered on this inconspicuous life teacher.

There was no surprise on Xiao Jianping’s face as he reached out with a smile to shake Bai Shuqiao’s hand. “It has been two or three years, right? My white hair is coming out but you haven’t changed at all.”

Hearing this, Bai Shuqiao couldn’t help glancing at Xiao Xinchen standing beside him. “Xinchen is about to take the college entrance examination, right? You have grown a lot taller and you are a handsome guy. Say hello to your mother for me.”

“Hello, Aunt Bai.” Xiao Xinchen was well-versed in business communication. “You are really getting younger and younger. Once I go to college, I should call you Sister.”

Bai Shuqiao was amused by him and the atmosphere became more relaxed. She asked Xiao Jianping curiously. “Are you bringing students here?”

The first lecture of the afternoon was on the topic of artificial intelligence and she had a vague impression of the keynote speaker, Qi Shao. She remembered that he should be Xiao Jianping’s proud protege.

Xiao Jianping nodded. “Forget it. I will look at the demeanor of young people.”

The two of them talked very happily, but it had a different meaning when it fell into other people’s eyes.

The few people who had been mocking others just now all stopped at this time. Then they heard Bai Shuqiao talk about bringing students and said in a low, disdainful voice, “It is really a life teacher…”

“He just has a small friendship with Teacher Bai in private, as if he is so powerful.”

In particular, their expressions were even uglier when they saw Xiao Jianping start to introduce Pei Qingyuan and the others to Bai Shuqiao.

“Teacher Bai, let me introduce you to a few children I have met recently. This is Qingyuan and a few of his classmates…”

They found that Bai Shuqiao seemed to be giving this life teacher a lot of face. Not only did she greet the exchange students from the 2nd High School one by one, but she also asked with a smile if they had any opinions and suggestions about this lecture.

Lin Zihai and Shen Yiming came into contact with an unattainable famous scholar in the blink of an eye and looked dreamy. They pinched each other to make sure that this wasn’t a dream.

“Teacher Bai, I’ve been watching your show since middle school.” Lin Zihai was a bit incoherent with excitement. “My parents also watched it with me and they like you very much. They definitely won’t believe that I shook hands with you today!”

“Thank you,” Bai Shuqiao responded with a smile. Then she suggested in a brisk tone, “ It just so happens that Old Xiao brought a camera. Do you want to take a photo now? In this way, there will be evidence when you go back to tell your parents.”

The leaders and reporters of Chengde High School, who wanted to communicate more with Bai Shuqiao, were left aside. The other students who wanted autographs held books, paper and pens in their hands and could only watch as Bai Shuqiao chatted with these students of the 2nd High School and took photos.

For a time, countless envious eyes were cast on them.

Pei Qingyuan’s expression remained calm. It wasn’t until the second lecture in the morning was about to start and Xiao Jianping and Bai Shuqiao were preparing to leave the venue one after another that he thanked the two people very seriously.
