My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 311 - 25 Mother and Child

"Stinky brat, spit it out and tell me what the hell happened?" Before Shen Yinian could react, Mr. Zeng was already fuming, his large hand, like a fan, swung at Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi seemed to have anticipated his move and slipped behind Teacher Zhong with a swish, poking his head out and saying, "Dad, this is at school, at least save me some face."

"Fuck your face, you’re not giving me any respect, and you expect me to give it to you?" Unable to hit him, Mr. Zeng just glared furiously.

"That’s why I didn’t tell you at home," Zeng Yi muttered.

Then, turning his head to Shen Yinian, he said, "Shen Yinian, I owe you one this time. Next time you need anything, just count on me!"

He sounded full of bravado, but his heart wasn’t as confident. He feared that Shen Yinian wouldn’t forgive him.

You see, although Shen Yinian didn’t agree to be his lackey, he was the boy in class Zeng Yi admired the most.

Good-looking, good grades, and even the class president. He wasn’t like those backstabbers from the other classes. He was the only one in class who could beat him in sports, and what mattered the most was that he would lend his homework to copy without fuss, unlike others.

Although he sometimes felt jealous, in his heart, Shen Yinian wasn’t his "bro" but still a friend with a good relationship.

"I forgive you. But from now on, you’re buying my drinks during PE class," Shen Yinian said with a smile.

"No problem!" Zeng Yi promised, slapping his chest.

"Wait, Zeng Yi, Shen Yinian, what exactly happened here? Can you tell the teacher?" Teacher Zhong, who had been listening for a while, still didn’t understand and asked.

Zeng Yi’s face turned red, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally explained the situation.

"What did you say?" Mr. Zeng wasn’t relieved that his son hadn’t hurt anyone, but rather got angrier: "At a critical moment, you actually pushed a classmate out as a human shield?"

"How have I taught you? To do such a cowardly thing? With this kind of behavior, wouldn’t you be a traitor during wartime?"

"Who would dare trust you with their back on the battlefield?"

Saying this, he slapped Zeng Yi’s back hard.

This time, Zeng Yi didn’t dodge and took it, crying his eyes out: "I didn’t mean to. I really wasn’t trying to grab Shen Yinian. I wanted to grab a desk to block with."

"You’re not lying to me?" Seeing his son cry like this, Mr. Zeng felt pained, but thinking of what his son had done, he knew he had to teach him a lesson, or it would get worse.

"Really, I swear!" Zeng Yi choked out: "If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death." He’d watched too many martial arts films.

Mr. Zeng’s face softened somewhat, but he still said sternly, "When we get back, you’re getting fifty spankings."

Usually, just five spankings would make Zeng Yi howl like a banshee, but this time he nodded silently, not objecting at all.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zeng, you can’t physically punish the child," Teacher Zhong protested from the sidelines.

"Don’t worry, Teacher Zhong, I know my limits," Mr. Zeng assured her, but still insisted on his plan.

Teacher Zhong felt somewhat helpless and asked Zeng Yi, "Is everything you’ve said true?"

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the child; it’s just that Zeng Yi had used up all his credibility with her.

"Teacher, I can testify that what Zeng Yi said is true," Shen Yinian spoke up from the side.

Hearing this, Teacher Zhong immediately believed him without hesitation and called over a student who had come to the office to submit homework, asking him to fetch Wen Jie from the classroom.

Before long, a skinny boy walked into the office.

"Teacher Zhong, did you call me for something?" Wen Jie seemed calm, but the panic in his eyes when he saw Zeng Yi and Shen Yinian completely betrayed him.

Thinking about how although the child was usually quiet, he was considered both studious and proper, Teacher Zhong felt angered by his actions and said, "Wen Jie, don’t you have something you want to tell the teacher?"

The gaze of the five individuals in the office—three adults and two children—settled on Wen Jie, waiting for his response.

Wen Jie clenched his fist, taking a long while to say nervously, "No."

"Wen Jie, what do you mean? Own up if you did it. It was you who scratched Shen Yinian; don’t be afraid to admit it!" Before anyone else could react, Zeng Yi jumped up, pointing at him angrily.

The little boy’s expression was one of embarrassment as he said defiantly, "It wasn’t me." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Lin Xiaoguai sighed, while Shen Yinian spoke up, "Wen Jie, do you know why I haven’t told Teacher Zhong it was you who injured me until now?"
