"What does that have to do with me?" Zhuo Bufan said helplessly.
Yan Chun Yi's pretty face immediately turned cold. She snorted and said, "How does that have nothing to do with you? You skipped classes for a week. If you don't participate, I will report your truancy record to the student council. They will give you a demerit. Think about it yourself."
Zhuo Bufan was a Nine Rank Celestial Lord. She did not expect to be bullied by a homeroom teacher in this life.
"Then you should at least let me think of a program, right?"
"A program. You can just go on stage and perform your Kung Fu or sing a song. Our class has to send someone on stage anyway," Yan Chun Yi said indifferently.
Zhuo Bufan felt that things were not as simple as it seemed. "Why did you ask me out of all people?"
"Why can't I ask you? The stage is a place to train people. It will be very helpful for you when you enter society in the future. I asked you to participate in the competition to train you," Yan Chun Yi said seriously.
Faced with the teacher's power, Zhuo Bufan had no choice but to accept it. After he left, Yan Chun Yi had a happy smile on her face. She hummed a little tune and said, "Finally, I found a scapegoat."
What else could she do? This was the task given by the higher-ups. Every class had to prepare a program. She was the new homeroom teacher and had no connections or qualifications. This kind of thing naturally fell on her.
The campus carnival was a school anniversary. It was held around this time every year. This year was the 30th anniversary of the founding of Jin Ling University. It was much grander than before. It was said that the university had invited many famous people to participate. Even the mayor, Jiang Beiya, would be there.
The students in the class were busy revising for the college entrance examination. This was a crucial moment to determine whether or not they could amaze the world after ten years of hard work. No one was willing to give up their study time for an activity. They could only find a student with poor grades like Zhuo Bufan to be the scapegoat.
"No way, Teacher Yan asked you to represent our class in the carnival?" Ye Xuan after hearing Zhuo Bufan's words.
Then, he held back his laughter and said, "Good luck to you. Everyone is busy revising. No one is willing to prepare for any activities."
Zhuo Bufan had a helpless look on his face. He knew that Yan Chun Yi must be plotting something. It turned out that she wanted him to be a sacrificial lamb on the stage. She must have asked the rest of the class and no one was willing to do it. That was why he was forced to participate in this boring competition.
At noon, Zhuo Bufan was planning to go out for lunch with Ye Xuan and then go home to continue his cultivation. Recently, he had refined enough Small Strengthening Pills, so he wanted to seize the time to enter the peak of Training Qi as soon as possible.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the classroom, they saw a girl wearing a light yellow blouse with two black braids standing at the door. Her big eyes were as clear as purple grapes. "Brother Fan, Brother Xuan."
Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Tongtong, are you here to look for your Brother Fan? Looks like I can't be the third wheel anymore."
"Brother Xuan, what are you talking about?" Zhang Tongtong's face instantly turned red. She did not dare to look at Zhuo Bufan directly.
"Bufan, I'm going to look for Yuan Shuang. You and our sister Tongtong should have a good meal." Ye Xuan patted Zhuo Bufan's shoulder and gave her a knowing look. Then, she ran away.
Zhang Tongtong's two fingers were pinched together. She looked shy and charming. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato in the field. It made people want to take a bite.
"Xiaotong, why are you looking for me?" Zhuo Bufan looked at her suspiciously.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to see if Brother Fan is sick. He hasn't been attending classes for the past few days." Zhang Tongtong's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Zhuo Bufan had been reborn for more than three hundred years. He could be considered a living old monster. How could he not understand a young girl's thoughts? He could only sigh silently in his heart. He did not want to hurt this kind girl. If he was still that young boy in his past life, he would definitely be happy to receive the favor of a beautiful and kind girl.
However, he was no longer the person he used to be. He had been reborn! He and Zhang Tongtong were people who walked on different paths. There was no future. When Zhang Tongtong was in her seventies or eighties, he would still be a teenager. In the end, he would only bring harm to others.
The two of them randomly ordered a few home-cooked dishes from a small restaurant in the campus. Zhang Tongtong then filled a bowl of rice for Zhuo Bufan. She then sat across from him. "Brother Fan, did you participate in the campus carnival competition?"
"Oh, how did you know?"
"When I came to look for you, I overheard Xu Aike talking to someone in your class." Zhang Tongtong said as she carefully glanced at Zhuo Bufan.
Xu Aike was the class monitor. For some reason, she always disliked him. Zhuo Bufan did not even need to think to know that Xu Aike must have recommended him to Yan Chun Yi. However, he did not take the words of a little girl to heart.
"Yes, it was the form teacher who asked me to sign up." Zhuo Bufan picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu.
Zhang Tongtong smiled. "I also signed up. I'm preparing to sing a solo. Brother Fan, what are you going to perform?"
"Recite. It's the easiest." Zhuo Bufan only wanted to entertain. He did not want to be in the limelight.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhang Tongtong's face. She smiled. "Actually, reciting is not a bad idea. It's majestic and can shock the soul. It'll definitely be good."
Zhuo Bufan shook his head. Perhaps only a little girl like her would think this way. He only wanted to entertain Yan Chun Yi. He did not want his mother to know that he skipped class.
After a while, Zhang Tongtong wanted to say something but hesitated. She finally mustered up the courage to look at Zhuo Bufan. "Brother Fan, is Miss Long your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend? Who told you she's my girlfriend?" Zhuo Bufan said indifferently. "I have no money and I'm not as handsome as my idol. Long family's daughter is precious. Why would she like me?"
"Really?" The girl's dark eyes lit up. She could not hide the joy in her eyes. However, her tone was still calm. "Oh, I thought she was your girlfriend."
