A few days later.
During the school break, Liu Mayleen and the girls sat on the edge of the football field, watching as they told stories. After a few jokes were discussed, the topic suddenly turned to the discussion about Fengyin which until now was still warm to talk about.
“Do you know? Ever since Zhao Bowen recognized Chao Fengyin as her best friend, the other students' views towards Chao Fengyin had turned one hundred and eighty degrees.”
“True, the tenth and eleventh graders called Chao Fengyin with the senior designation, they even bowed in salute to Chao Fengyin as soon as the man passed by.”
“How children treat him the same way they treat Zhao Bowen.”
“Yah.., That's natural anyway. Zhao Bowen is the number one thug in this school. Who would dare mess with that guy?”
Liu Mayleen only listened to her friends tell stories without looking as enthusiastic as the others. In his heart he still felt uncomfortable because of the tumor about Chao Fengyin involving him.
“Hei..., you guys are aware of this? Chao Fengyin's black eye bag that looked like a panda's eye had already healed. His gaze felt warmer than before.”
“Eh? Do you feel that too, huh? I thought it was just my feelings. I feel like there is something different about Chao Fengyin who usually looks that gloomy. Ah... So it was because of his gaze.”
“I think Chao Fengyin is pretty cool, he doesn't talk too much. But when there is time his speech is needed, he can easily convince others with his talk.”
“Yeah, Xiao Rou..., did you just praise Fengyin? Don't you start liking her.”
“Ish... Rumors that he is a pervert Stalker are still circulating.”
“By the way..., Where did Chao Fengyin go as soon as the break bell rang? Are any of you curious?”
What was clear was that Chao Fengyin was not stalking anyone else at the moment, the young man was sitting in front of his homeroom desk after filling out his Future Plan Form. With a stern face that steadied confidence, Fengyin thrust out a blank piece of paper that he had previously been puzzled as to what he wanted to fill with.
“I have already determined my plans after graduating from this school, Class Guardian Wang.”
“Oh! You didn't seem to know the direction before and were very unenthusiastic. But relieved to see your fiery eyes while handing over the paper you filled. So..., the plan you're going to do for your future is..,”
Wang Fuhai looked towards the Form that Fengyin handed over while squinting, just as Wang Fuhai read it in his heart, Fengyin's voice simultaneously raised it.
“I want to be an antique collector!”
Wang Fuhai was surprised, he had already read all the Forms that the students in his class had gathered. Most of them choose to continue their schooling to college as their future career, or work on continuing their parents' business.
But...., An Antique Collector? Wang Fuhai had just heard of it.
“Why should an Antique Goods Collector?”
“Hehe..., I feel that the job does not require a high degree. I can also do the job at any time without the restraint of others,” said Fengyin, innocently he smiled while scratching his nape.
“I'm sorry Feng, what decision did you make because of the circumstances in your home?”
Wang Fuhai looked at the child with eyes that showed concern, Chao Fengyin's parents died while he was still in elementary school due to a fire.
“If you need a Scholarship, you can work on it for you. You're a pretty good student after all, right? Although it looks rather gloomy.”
“What does Guardian Class Wang mean by looking rather gloomy? Geez..., Wang Class Guardians are on-the-go.”
“But..., Thank you that Class Guardian Wang already cares about me. I am truly grateful to have a teacher like Mayor Wang,” Fengyin added.
The young man's speech evoked memories of the past, when it was the first year Fengyin set foot in that school. Wang Fuhai who had just served as a teacher still had trivial tasks such as guarding the school gates in the morning to see the neatness of the students.
Fengyin, who was not wearing a belt, was once taken all out by Wang Fuhai, but Wang Fuhai bought the student a cheap belt the next day.
As Wang Fuhai saw that the belt was still attached to his disciple's waist, something touched Wang Fuhai's heart.
‘That thing..., why does it still look so good even though it's an old item? Did this kid take care of him all this time?’ wang Fuhai said in his mind.
“Sial, it's been three years huh. Time passed quickly, not feeling that it would be time for me to release the disciples again. Haaa..,”
“Fengyin..., Whatever you will do in the future, believe me you will always pray for you. Do your best.., and remember, whatever you do.., always walk the good path, do not despair even if the road is not easy.”.
Fengyin nodded her head, she immediately got up from the chair then bowed her body in front of Wang Fuhai.
That sudden action made Wang Fuhai startled so he could only look to pay attention to him alone.
“Wali Class Wang, for your service and your affection so far. Disciple Chao Fengyin! Class XII - 3! Saying a very big thank you with a sincere heart.”
“Thanks! Thanks you! Thanks!!” exclaimed Fengyin, the boy bowed as much as he thanked him.
All the teachers who witnessed it held their chests, what Fengyin did was a ceremony that students usually do to commemorate the services of teachers during the split-off event.
All the disciples were obliged to bow themselves respectfully out of necessity, but today, the teachers saw a truly sincere disciple doing so.
They were all touched to see it.
Wang Fuhai could not help his feelings, as soon as his lips trembled. In this situation he wanted to say something, but it felt like his mouth was very hard to move. Wang Fuhai bowed to hide his new lips he could say something.
“Already, right? You can get out Fengyin,” Wang Fuhai said, while mixing Fengyin's Forms with those of his classmates.
Wang Fuhai turned his back on the young man while tidying up the paper, the Class Guardian tried to hide the water that was in the corner of his eyes.
As Fengyin walked out of the room, all of Wang Fuhai's fellow teachers applauded loudly. Even the female teachers shed tears at the sight earlier.
“Bapak really did your job as a teacher amazingly. Congratulations to Master Wang!”
Wang Fuhai smiled, the tears he had held back had finally fallen as well.
“Thanks, thanks.”
