Chapter 235 The Head of Students at the Elite School (35)
There was no point in arguing, and Le Yan ruthlessly chased Xie Qingyan away.
Even though Xie Qingyan left, her office was still full.
"elder sister?"
Yan Shaoyu poked his head out from the doorway. It was rare for someone dressed in a school uniform to look like a high school boy who hadn't yet matured, rather than a college student.
She exudes youthful energy and looks incredibly well-behaved and sunny.
Le Yan gave him an annoyed look. "What are you doing in the West District, a student from the East District?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips, "The school rules don't say we can't wander between the two districts."
He opened the door and came in, and only then did Le Yan see that there were two girls following behind him.
They were also acquaintances, Xia Yuwei and Mingxi.
The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw her, and they raised their hands to greet her, "Hello, teacher!"
Xia Yuwei quickly walked past Yan Shaoyu and ran to Le Yan's side. She nervously handed over the delicate box in her hand and said with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, "Teacher, these are some snacks I made myself. Please try them."
Le Yan was slightly taken aback. She glanced down at the box full of pastries that had been brought out and noticed that Xia Yuwei's hands were trembling with nervousness.
She paused for a moment before reaching out to take the box and smiling, "I will appreciate Xia's kind gesture."
Curious, I asked them, "Why are you here?"
She was used to Yan Shaoyu coming to see her.
Xia Yuwei and Mingxi, the two little girls she had saved before, usually stayed in Dongcheng District to study. They would only stare at her with their bright eyes when she went to Dongcheng District to work.
But they have never made any move to come to Xicheng District.
Seeing Le Yan's question and curiosity, Mingxi and Xia Yuwei exchanged a glance and mustered their courage to ask, "Teacher, which district are you planning to go to for this school study tour?"
Newampton School organizes study tours every year, and only the top 50 students in each district's most recent assessment can participate.
At the same time, the study tour destinations in the two cities will not be the same; they are usually hundreds of miles apart.
Yan Shaoyu, Xia Yuwei, and Mingxi were all on the list for this year's study tour, so as soon as the news was released, they all rushed over to Leyan to get a feel for it.
There's no other reason than that Le Yan is the school's dean of students, so she has to choose a team to follow. In this situation, her own thoughts are the most important.
Looking at the six expectant eyes in front of her, Le Yan, who had listened to a lot but hadn't received any news yet, finally picked up her phone.
"Please wait a moment, let me find out first."
She opened the group chat that she had muted and finally saw the study tour schedule that the principal had posted half an hour ago. After carefully browsing through it, Le Yan finally understood what was going on.
As is customary, the Dongcheng and Xicheng districts chose different venues for their events.
The Dongcheng District is going to an island called Möbius Island, which is famous for its resemblance to a Möbius strip and is a very unique private island.
Yes, it's "private"—the island belongs to the Dongfang family.
She couldn't believe there wasn't some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved in choosing Möbius Island as the study tour location by sheer coincidence.
As for the West District, they were going to Country Y and would be staying in a castle specially provided by the royal family of Country Y.
There must be some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved, because Le Yan suddenly remembered that Ouyang Chen was the youngest Rose Duke in Country Y.
These two places are not easy to choose from.
Le Yan was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she decided to send a private message to her uncle, who was the principal.
[Dear Uncle Principal, your niece would like to ask if it's possible for her to not join the group on this study tour?]
Her uncle was probably on his phone at the time, because he replied instantly: "No."
Those two firm words, coupled with that cold, hard period, made her uncle's refusal all the more heartbreaking.
Le Yan sighed and could only send a cat crying emoji before giving up on her heartless uncle.
Turning back to look at the three people sitting obediently, meeting their expectant gazes, Le Yan stiffly forced a smile and sent them back: "I need to think about this carefully. You go back first, and I'll let you know when I have an answer."
She naturally knew why these guys had come; they were all students from the East District and naturally wanted her to join the East District team.
But, you know, islands always seem like places you can go to but never come back to.
A royal tour of Country Y is not a good option either.
Faced with this dilemma, Le Yan could only savor the pastries made by Xia Yuwei, using the sweet treats to soothe her tormented heart.
On the other side, Yan Shaoyu, Xia Yuwei, and Mingxi walked out of the office building and bumped into the powerful Third Princess and Third Prince.
Although these six people shared the same goal, they were not friendly to each other and even seemed to want to fight on the spot.
Yan Shaoyu paused, calmly blocking their path.
Huangfu Li and the others stopped with furrowed brows, but their attitude towards Yan Shaoyu was still relatively friendly.
With the thought that "the teacher's brother is also my brother," Ouyang Chen smiled gently and asked, "Is Shaoyu also here to see the teacher? Is the teacher busy right now?"
Yan Shaoyu scoffed, "Do I need to tell you I'm here to see my sister?"
"But you lot, a whole bunch of you, are you here to disturb my work?"
His attitude was so obvious that Ouyang Chen and the others could tell at a glance that their younger brother did not welcome their arrival.
Seeing him blocking their way, Ouyang Chen's smile faded. "Shaoyu, we have important business with the teacher. Please make way."
Ouyang Chen's gaze swept over the two girls who were hanging their heads and not daring to look at them, but whose bodies were honestly following Yan Shaoyu to block the road, and he felt a little impatient.
Yan Shaoyu put one hand on his hip and replied slowly, "No."
"I know what you want, you just want to know which district my sister is going to on the study tour, right? But it's no use asking, my sister isn't going to Y country."
Taking advantage of his sister's absence, Yan Shaoyu told a lie without batting an eye, which made Xia Yuwei and Mingxi's hands tremble and they almost couldn't help but look up at him in shock.
Fortunately, they managed to suppress the impulse, otherwise they would have been exposed.
Yan Shaoyu's words caused all six of them to become serious.
They didn't think Yan Shaoyu was lying, because before they came, they felt that Le Yan was more likely to choose the East District.
After all, Yan Shaoyu is her younger brother there, and they have a good relationship, so they are more likely to choose the one from Dongcheng District.
But now, hearing Yan Shaoyu's words and finding that it was indeed as they had guessed, they were still not very happy.
Huangfu Li pursed her lips, regretting in her heart that if she had known she would run into a teacher, she wouldn't have chosen the West District when she enrolled.
They were filled with regret, but it was too late; they could only rethink their solutions.
Huangfu Xuan glanced at Yan Shaoyu and said politely with a smile, "In that case, we'll be leaving now."
Judging from Yan Shaoyu's expression, he wasn't going to give way.
Instead of wasting time here, we should think about how to do something behind the scenes and get them into the Dongcheng District's queue.
