The moment he heard the word ‘homework’, Zhou Lai felt that the originally reliable and gentle teacher in front of him instantly became a big demon brandishing a teacher’s pointer. His face unnaturally contorted.  He was already planning to discreetly beat up the guys in Lu Ban Ban’s group one by one. How could he have the time to write homework?

Moreover, was his teacher’s brain beaten stupid? When had the Grade 6 Class 8 students ever written homework? The students in this class were led by Lu Ban Ban. Every day, everyone was holding a tablet and playing games, huddling in a group. Apart from the study monitor and the class leader, the other students were just here to play. Under these circumstances, Teacher Ren actually asked if he wrote his homework today? 

Zhou Lai’s expression became very strange. He completely didn’t know what to say, and standing opposite him observing his face, Teacher Ren let out a cold hehe. Although he had already expected it, but to brazenly not write homework under his presence, no matter who the future psychopathic killer was in this class, they all still needed to be put in order.

Therefore, Ren Zhu once again rubbed Zhou Lai’s head, speaking in a particularly gentle and sincere tone: “I’ll give you ten dollars to go have dinner. Then go back home and write homework. Good boy.”

Zhou Lai looked at his class teacher in horror and couldn’t help asking: “Is your brain broken?”

Ren Zhu slowly smiled, but no matter how Zhou Lai looked at it, he felt that this smile was particularly dangerous. “Listen to the teacher’s words and you’ll receive praise. Go back home.” 

As a result, Zhou Lai trembled, unconsciously turned around and obediently went home. When he returned to his empty home, he abruptly returned to God, his pale face revealing a complicated expression. He was wondering whether to write his homework tonight. After considering for a while, Zhou Lai looked at the ten dollar bill in his hand, clenched his teeth and went to his room to write homework.

What was today’s literature homework? Oh, it was to revise the new words in the tenth module. Write each word four times and form two sentences with each word for dictation tomorrow.

Zhou Lai: “……” Did he really have to write this much homework? Was he foolish?

In the end, the light in Zhou Lai’s room was only extinguished at eleven in the evening. His eyebrows were scrunched together as he slept, as though he was having a nightmare.

Lying on his bed, Ren Zhu looked at his bear paw left hand, constantly pondering in his heart. According to the information in his mind, the child named Zhou Lai was most likely the psychopathic killer. After all, he was bullied by little fatty bear’s group. Although he did not see the bullying with his own eyes, seeing as the little fatty even dared to hit the teacher, the bullying was definitely not just small actions amongst the children.

Therefore, after Zhou Lai was bullied, his mentality would changed and finally become psychopathic. However, this thought became uncertain after Ren Zhu met Zhou Lai. Although the kid seemed gloomy, indifferent and independent, just from looking at how he anxiously followed him to the hospital after enduring a beating, and also took the initiative to worry about him, Ren Zhu could determine that this child’s nature was still good. Give a little more love and care and he’ll grow up to be a promising young man.

This kind of teenager, will he grow into a psychopathic killer in the future? Ren Zhu wrinkled his eyebrows, his slender eyes flashing with a trace of doubt. He could see that Zhou Lai’s willpower was pretty good. If he was really the murderer, then what did he experience to become like that? Ren Zhu felt himself thinking until his head hurt. Currently, the clues were still too few. Considering the case if he failed the task and experienced a life no better than death, Teacher Ren decided he still needed to grasp more information before solving the task. 

Early the next morning, Ren Zhu entered the school in high spirits. He wore a grey trench coat, his figure exuding a refined temperament. Although his head was covered in a white gauze and his left hand was wrapped like a bear’s paw, the other teachers all looked at him as though he was a different person.

Li Li was the first to react and looked at Ren Zhu with surprise: “Teacher Ren, you look really handsome today. These clothes are pretty good!”

Ren Zhu smiled and nodded with some shyness: “Thank you for the compliment.” Then, he checked in with his fingerprint.

After signing in, he turned and left, but there was already a person standing behind him. This person was also wearing a trench coat. The brand was obviously more expensive and better than the one on his body. Teacher Ren twitched his lips, telling himself that this was nothing. The disparity between the rich and the poor existed everywhere. However, the thing that made Teacher Ren feel depressed and annoyed was not that this person’s trench coat was more expensive than his, but that his height was taller than him by half a head. Slightly raising his head and looking over, Teacher Ren scoffed in his heart. Look who it is, turns out it was this nuisance. 

Ren Zhu quickly bowed his head and stepped to the side to leave. In the end, he didn’t make it.

“Are you Teacher Ren? I am the new counselling psychology teacher Ning Xun. Regarding the specialised psychological counselling lessons for your Grade 6 Class 8 students, I may need to discuss this matter with you.”

At this time, Ren Zhu really wanted to simply leave, but his IQ told him that this wouldn’t do. He could only nod and wait at the side for Ning Xun to press his fingerprint. Then the two talents walked towards the classrooms one after another.

Ning Xun followed behind Ren Zhu, thinking that the person in front of him was very interesting. He could already determine that this person was definitely not the timid and introverted type as mentioned in the school rumours. Just from his high-spirited and easy going attitude as he entered the campus today, he was sure that Ren Zhu was a fairly confident and somewhat proud kind of person. 

Ah. He just happened to see the way Ren Zhu was walking into the school. He definitely wasn’t sneakily peeking from the side.

Ren Zhu walked in front, feeling like his back was bored a hole by that person’s stare. This caused his originally poor mood to become even more irritable. As a result, the moment Ren Zhu walked into the Grade 6 Class 8 classroom, his entire body emitting an ‘I’m in a very bad mood right now, you will all be quiet like dazed chickens’ atmosphere, the forty something originally chatting young teenagers were instantly shocked.

Almost instinctively, the group of girls who were just chatting closed their mouths one by one, promptly returning to their seats. When the group of boys, who were playing games, saw the dark aura of Ren Zhu standing on the podium, they immediately hid their tablets in their desk. It was like they were weasels who were caught stealing chicken, both alarmed and shameful.

On the last day of September, Teacher Ren stood on the podium and watched the quiet-as-chickens bear children in his class, nodding with slight satisfaction. 

Then, he opened his mouth and said: “Alright, I’m checking homework before starting the class. Take out your homework books.”

……………………………..

???????

!!!!!!!!! 

After nearly three minutes of deadly silence, the bear leader Lu Ban Ban, who had inexplicably hidden his tablet and appeared very alarmed, threw down his own book and stood up. With his chin raised, he roared: “Are you sick in your mind? Since when have you made us hand in homework?!”

Consequently, everyone in the class, including Professor Ning who was standing outside the door hugging his shoulders and watching the show, saw Teacher Ren reveal an ice cold smile.
