Chapter 674: Does It Taste Good?
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
The teacher convinced himself that this was indeed the case, and he instantly felt better.
Until Yao Tangspoke.
“The ultimate goal is to reach the peak, isn’t it? Why should we inconvenience ourselves when there is a more efficient way of getting here? Even the most knowledgeable student needs to be wise in managing their time and energy to pa.s.s the college entrance exams.”
The teacher was taken aback.
Still, Yao Tangmight only be justifying their actions. It didn’t necessarily mean that she was the mastermind behind this.
!!Princ.i.p.al Kong, who was thinking the same thing, looked at the others beside her and demanded, “Were you the one who proposed the idea?”
The teachers followed the direction of his gaze.
On Yao Tang’s side stoodQin JingandLin Xin.
Once again, the adults told themselves that it couldn’t have been Yao Tang’s idea.
Nor was it Lin Xin. The girl was more docile and obedient, and didn’t seem like someone who would take the initiative to go against protocol and tradition.
That left only Qin Jing.
The outspoken teacher narrowed his eyes at her, silently coaxing her into admitting her culpability.
And then a soft voice said, “Yes.”
The teacher didn’t see Qin Jingopen her mouth, so she couldn’t have spoken, and the voice certainly wasn’tLin Xin’s.
He frowned and turned to the source, and found himself shocked speechless yet again.
He had truly thought of Yao Tangas a model student.
But now, she was saying that the cable car situation was her idea. The teacher was understandably stunned.
Princ.i.p.al Kong, on the other hand, didn’t appear surprised at all.
The moment he had seen how these rascals were enjoying their barbecue, the first person he suspected was Yao Tang.
He knew her character all too well, after all.
She wasn’t the type to remain standing when she had the option to sit down.
“Do you realize what a great opportunity you missed?” Princ.i.p.al Kongbemoaned. “You turned something that was meant to be a retreat and an exercise into a vacation!”
“The college entrance exams are just around the corner,” Yao Tangsaid nonchalantly. “This is just our way of saving what precious time we have left until then.”
She casually reached for the barbecue sauce and brushed it on the skewers she was roasting. She didn’t seem the least bit bothered by the princ.i.p.al’s reprimand.
Princ.i.p.al Kong knew thatYao Tangwas a smart girl. She always had been.
However, this was the first time he realized how glib-tongued she was. And he had to suffer it first-hand, too!
He couldn’t even find a loophole in her argument.
It was true that the college entrance examination was fast approaching, and that they had very little time left for themselves.
It was also true that the students needed to be streetwise in addition to being book-smart.
Even so, this was the Master Teacher Oath Ceremony they were talking about!
Taking a cable car and enjoying a barbecue might not be much of an issue, but what would the other students say if they found out about this?
Princ.i.p.al Kong had indeed pinned all his hopes onYao Tang, but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t mind if the school’s overall score dropped.
He could almost imagine the squabble that would ensue when the other, hardworking students reached the top later.
The teachers stood in silence as they, too, imagined the inevitable trouble coming their way.
Ideally, they would be waiting for the students by now and telling them words of encouragement as they appeared one by one.
The tradition would proceed as it always had, and this year’s exams would go smoothly as they had in the previous years.
Yet now, they couldn’t bring themselves to say anything inspiring. They couldn’t even think of what to say.
How could they, when the aroma of roasting meat hovered over the peak?
In the worst case, those poor students might even think that they were mocking them for inconveniencing themselves, as Yao Tanghad put it.
The teachers found themselves in a dilemma.
They had never had to deal with such circ.u.mstances in the past.
Even so, none of them had the fort.i.tude to rebuke these incorrigible troublemakers.
They could only count on Princ.i.p.al Kongto fix the situation and dole out the appropriate punishments.
Just then, the man in question said, “Does the barbecue taste good? It certainly smells great!”
The teachers all turned to gape at him.
They were expecting him to teach these kids a lesson, for goodness’ sake!
Why on earth was he asking about the blasted meat skewers?
How… How could he betray them like this?
“Of course, it’s delicious!” Meng Yangsaid proudly. “It must have something to do with the good atmosphere, but I’m sure it’s because of our excellent barbecue skills!”
He had no qualms in bragging about their little cookout, and seemed to have forgotten that they had broken tradition through their shortcut.
