Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Teacher Gong?!"

When trouble comes, it's a pleasant surprise to run into a reliable acquaintance.

Zhou Min was no exception.

Although I didn't expect Teacher Gong to be able to help me in any way, it would be good to have someone to confide in about my troubles.

So when Teacher Gong asked Zhou Min what was wrong, Zhou Min immediately poured out all the unpleasant things that had happened to her that day.

Gong Yu didn't speak immediately upon hearing this. He glanced at the kitchen behind Zhou Min and could tell from the pace of the waiters coming and going that they were there to urge the order to be served.

Gong Yu patted Zhou Min on the shoulder, just about to say a few words of comfort, when he suddenly heard a surprised voice from behind him.

“Minmin!”

Gong Yu turned around upon hearing the sound and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties who looked somewhat similar to Zhou Min, staring intently at him.

Gong Yu was momentarily speechless under his gaze.

Hearing the shout, Zhou Min turned her head and saw her mother holding her younger brother's hand.

"Little Bao is hungry? It's okay, I'll go downstairs and buy you something to eat right now."

After Zhou Min finished speaking, she waved to Teacher Gong again and prepared to go downstairs.

Zhou Min's action immediately angered her mother.

"Why buy food?! Come and get to know me first."

"what?!"

Zhou Min was taken aback by her mother's words. After a few seconds, she suddenly realized what her mother meant.

Zhou Min turned around shakily and glanced at Teacher Gong.

Today, Mr. Gong was wearing his usual navy blue shirt and trousers. The well-tailored shirt, on his nearly 190cm frame, made him look even more outstanding, with broad shoulders and long legs.

Beneath his neat, short hair lay a handsome, understated face, with a few wisps of hair gently falling across his forehead, giving him a gentle and casual look. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses added a touch of refinement and scholarly air to his appearance.

At over 30 years old, he doesn't look old at all; on the contrary, time has given him a calm, composed, and serene demeanor.

At that moment, Zhou Min suddenly realized that Teacher Gong was quite attractive.

Just as Zhou Min was secretly cursing herself for being blind in the past, Zhou's mother had already beckoned Teacher Gong to head towards the private room.

Gong Yu looked at the enthusiastic Mrs. Zhou, feeling quite confused.

Zhou Min didn't introduce him, and Gong Yu didn't know how to address her.

Gong Yu was even more confused. Why did they need her to go over and get to know people at their family gathering?

This was the first time Gong Yu had encountered such a situation in all her years as a teacher.

So, by the time Zhou Min realized what was happening and tried to stop them, her mother had already pulled Teacher Gong to the door of the private room.

It was too late for Zhou Min to stop it.

Zhou Min could only follow the two into the private room, feeling utterly hopeless.

The people chatting in the private room fell silent the moment they saw Zhou Min and her mother, who had just left, return with a young man.

Before Zhou's mother could introduce them, Uncle Zheng, who was always quick-witted and good at getting things done, had already come over to greet them warmly.

"Sit down, sit down! Everyone, sit down!! Hehehe..."

While arranging for Zhou's mother, Zhou Min, and the other two to sit down, Uncle Zheng started chatting with Teacher Gong about everyday matters.

What's your name?

"My name is Gong Yu."

Gong Yu was a little confused by the situation. She turned to look at Zhou Min sitting next to her and saw that she was looking down at her phone and texting.

"Gong Yu, that's a nice name, it sounds like you're a cultured person. Where do you work now?"

"I am a teacher at the Capital University."

Gong Yu realized at this moment that something was wrong; they seemed not to know who he was.

So are all the people in Zhou Min's family this warm and hospitable?

As Gong Yu was thinking, he saw many more people enter the private room.

In no time, the private room was packed.

Gong Yu looked back in disbelief and saw that behind her, the crowd had already packed in three or four layers, extending into the aisle.

At that moment, Gong Yu suddenly had a concrete image of the "big family" that Zhou Min had mentioned.

Seeing Gong Yu's surprised look, Aunt Zheng said with pride, "Hahaha, our family is big, isn't it? There are still a few of us who are in college and haven't come back yet, otherwise we would have even more people."

Uncle Zheng chimed in, "Haha. Everyone's here to see Minmin's boyfriend. Only Minmin has such influence that we've all gathered together like this."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yu looked at Zhou Min with surprise. He had considered many possibilities, but he had never expected this.

Seeing the look in Teacher Gong's eyes, Zhou Min looked back without any hesitation.

That's right, that's it.

At this moment, Zhou Min had given up all hope and was no longer afraid of anything.

So what if she loses face? It's not like she hasn't lost face before.

Moreover, Zhou Min had complete faith in Teacher Gong's character. She knew that Teacher Gong would definitely keep this a secret for her and would not make fun of her about it in the future.

So as long as you don't feel ashamed and don't take it to heart, this matter will have no impact on you.

Thinking this way, Zhou Min became more at ease.

As soon as Gong Yu saw Zhou Min's expression, he knew that Zhou Min had already made up her mind and was going to tacitly agree to this matter.

Gong Yu was a little conflicted for a moment; he didn't understand what Zhou Min meant.

The interaction between the two was witnessed by everyone present, and everyone smiled knowingly.

Uncle Zheng, who is always talkative, joked directly, "Oh, you're even exchanging glances! Don't you know better than to hide it from us? We're right here!"

Zhou Min, who was drinking water, was so shocked by what her aunt's husband said that she started coughing violently.

Upon seeing this, Gong Yu quickly reached out and patted Zhou Min's back.

Choking on water can sometimes be quite dangerous. And water entering the internal organs is extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Zhou Min's disheveled appearance, Uncle Zheng finally had a change of heart. He got up and squeezed over, saying apologetically, "What's going on? Isn't it normal for young couples to flirt? We didn't say anything, so why are you so nervous?"

Zhou Min, who had just started to feel better, coughed even more severely upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Gong Yu stopped clapping and looked up at Uncle Zheng, saying earnestly, "Uncle, please say less and let Zhou Min calm down."

During their casual conversation, Gong Yu had already learned how they addressed each other.

Because there were too many people, in order to distinguish who was being called, Gong Yu could only follow Zhou Min's way of addressing them.

Although Gong Yu's expression was calm, the imposing aura he exuded instantly silenced Uncle Zheng.
