Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Mrs. Chen, Are You Embarrassed? I’m So Embarrassed

"Who are you?"

Ye Manman felt like this teacher looked familiar, but couldn’t remember when they’d met before.

She initially just planned to say hi to Chen Yuqing and head back, but it seemed she couldn’t leave just yet.

Fang Wenqing had long wanted to chat with Ye Manman. In his years of teaching, he’d never encountered such a talented student, practically envying Chen Yuqing every time there was an exam.

Why wouldn’t this kid want to come to Beijing University?

If she did, he certainly...

"Ye, I was the teacher who invigilated during the preliminaries at your school. My last name is Fang, and you can call me Mr. Fang like other students do. What do you think of the difficulty of today’s final exam?"

When he mentioned this, Ye Manman suddenly remembered. She indeed had seen him before; no wonder he seemed so familiar.

But when he asked about the difficulty of the exam, she honestly didn’t know how to respond.

If she could, she’d love to say it wasn’t difficult at all.

But that’s not realistic, as it would be too arrogant and pretentious.

"I feel... it’s a bit harder than the last one."

In the end, she chose a more tactful response. After all, people can’t directly ask where it was hard, right?

However, Ye Manman evidently underestimated Fang Wenqing’s determination.

He walked straight into the classroom, put down a pile of things he was holding, and took out a pen he carried, earnestly asking.

"So can you tell me which questions were more difficult? Or perhaps which questions you think were crafted well?"

"..."

A misstep.

It was then Ye Manman noticed among the pile of materials he set down, there was a notebook with bold words like "reference," "problems," and "classification."

Could this teacher be involved in writing some exam papers?

Noticing her gaze, Chen Yuqing guessed she was curious and introduced him openly.

"Manman, Mr. Fang here was involved in writing the English exam papers for the college entrance exams."

Before Ye Manman could even be shocked, Chen Yuqing teased Fang Wenqing a little.

"Mr. Fang, I suggest you ask your own school’s students these questions. Manman finished her exam so early; do you really think she found it difficult? She’s just being polite with you."

"From my perspective, the difficulty of this final’s exam was likely average. She took about the same time for both the prelims and finals; I’m starting to doubt your claims that this year’s difficulty was higher than previous years."

There was clearly a subtle tension between the two teachers, not quite antagonistic but playful, and Ye Manman had no intention of joining in.

At times like this, anything said could be wrong.

It’s best to remain silent.

Sure enough, Fang Wenqing blushed and put away his pen, starting to bicker with Chen Yuqing.

"I was referring to average students; the exam difficulty definitely increased."

Chen Yuqing chuckled, "You know it applies to average students, so why are you asking Manman? This level of difficulty obviously doesn’t stump her. If you really want to gauge her abilities, why not prepare something genuinely challenging; maybe she’d spend more time thinking about it."

"..."

Ye Manman glanced at Chen Yuqing silently, feeling a bit awkward.

Is there anyone who praises someone like this right in front of them?

Mrs. Chen, aren’t you embarrassed?

I’m so embarrassed.

The two prestigious university teachers were arguing fiercely at the classroom door, while Ye Manman, being the silent center of attention, received various gazes from the other teachers in the room.

Just by turning her head, several teachers exchanged glances full of excitement and began walking towards them.

"Are these two teachers saying this student finished the exam and came out early?"

Several teachers looked at Ye Manman with shining eyes, though their question was directed at Chen Yuqing and Fang Wenqing.

Fang Wenqing still wanted to continue his argument, but Chen Yuqing outright ignored him, smiling as he turned to the envious teachers.

"Yes, this is our Qing University’s Ye Manman. This month, Ye also won the city’s English speech contest. In terms of English, she..."

Having such an outstanding student, Chen Yuqing spoke with great pride, praising her non-stop.

The teachers from other schools, having never encountered such a gifted student before, combined with Ye Manman’s sweet and graceful demeanor, found her increasingly appealing and couldn’t help but feel envious, eagerly chiming in with Chen Yuqing.

With these few teachers leading the way, other previously curious onlookers joined in to watch the commotion.

The praises for Ye Manman grew more numerous, and Chen Yuqing got more and more excited, with his cheeks turning rosy from enthusiasm.

Surrounded by so many teachers who were praising and asking questions, Ye Manman, who always thought she was thick-skinned, gradually began to feel a bit embarrassed.

The passionate demeanor of these teachers, who previously seemed strict or indifferent, was truly overwhelming.

Unable to handle it, she made a quick escape.

After quickly leaving the classroom, Ye Manman felt the outside air was exceptionally refreshing.

She didn’t explicitly tell Chen Yuqing she was leaving, just directly slipped away.

Since she already let him know she finished the exam, leaving ahead wasn’t a big deal. At most, she could apologize to Chen Yuqing later.

She definitely dared not return to that classroom.

Since Beijing University isn’t far from Qing University, going home didn’t require a long journey.

But she still bought some food and took the bus to the Liu Family residence.

Because she needed to go to Beijing University for the exam today and wasn’t sure which exit she’d come out from, she didn’t ask Liu Gaoyuan to pick her up.

Liu Gaoyuan thought she wouldn’t come after the exam and was at home drinking tea.

Seeing it was her ringing the doorbell, he was so happy he nearly spilled his teacup.

"Oh, you child, why did you come by yourself? Your belly is so big now, running around outside. What if something happened? There’s not even someone by your side to watch over you. I’ll have to seriously remind He about this."

As he welcomed her, Liu Gaoyuan grumbled, "This focus on making money is no solution. If he truly can’t take care of you, you might as well stay here with Grandpa. At least there’d be someone to look after you anytime."

Ye Manman couldn’t help but laugh, "I just decided on a whim to come over." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She touched her stomach and smiled.

"I suddenly remembered I forgot to share the good news with you all. Yesterday, the little one inside me moved for the first time, and this morning, he even kicked me awake."

Liu Gaoyuan, who was about to get some fruit for her, stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"The little one already moved? Did it hurt you? If it’s a naughty boy being restless inside and kicked you, I’ll be the first to spank him once he’s out."

Though he said this, Liu Gaoyuan couldn’t hide his smile, his mustache twitching with joy.

Ye Manman chuckled helplessly.

"Grandpa, he can hear you now. If you scare him so much, he might not even want you to hold him later."

"...I"

Liu Gaoyuan was momentarily speechless, clearly not expecting this.

He almost immediately changed his demeanor, turning into a kind and gentle grandfather.

"Oh, he can hear me?"

He awkwardly bent down to look at her belly.

"Little one, Grandpa was just kidding earlier, don’t be afraid. When you come out, Grandpa will buy you toys and clothes..."
