Transmigrated into a vicious stepmother, striving to raise the little villain

Upon hearing Gu Shiqing's explanation, Zhao Momo began to worry about Li Ziang's health. She felt that poor academic performance was one thing, but if he ruined his health, that would be terrible. Although Zhao Momo was concerned about her son's studies, she didn't place excessive demands on him.

She whispered to Li Ziang, "Honey, are you sure you want to work this hard?" Li Ziang patted Zhao Momo's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. I will study hard, but I won't just focus on studying and give up my playtime."

Zhao Momo: Well, it seems I worried for nothing.

Jiang Yan'an held Mo Jingyu's hand tightly as they followed Gu Shiqing toward Class 4 at the end of the corridor. Seeing that it was still quite a distance, Mo Jingyu asked, "How many classes are there in your high school?"

Gu Shiqing turned around and answered with a smile, "There are eight classes in total. Our four classes are the top classes in China, and the remaining four are the top classes in the world."

"Huh?" Mo Jingyu looked puzzled; this was the first time she had ever heard of such a class division method. Seeing this, Gu Shiqing quickly explained, "It means that we students are confirmed to stay in China, while the students in the other four classes are confirmed to study abroad. However, everyone's grades are excellent."

"Then why were these four classes chosen to participate in this event?" Mo Jingyu pressed.

"Because the other classes have already started preparing for various exams for studying abroad, after the sports meet, it's possible that only our four classes will be left with regular classes," Gu Shiqing explained patiently.

Mo Jingyu thought to herself: This is a prestigious school after all. It's so different from the high school I used to attend. Back then, we were only divided into one elite class at most.

"What about the senior high school students?"

Gu Shiqing pointed to the mountain peak outside the window and said, "Dao Gaosan went there, but the environment there is even better than here; it can be considered a paradise."

Mo Jingyu: I'm completely isolated from the world!

At this moment, Jiang Yan'an raised her little hand and asked curiously, "So, Uncle's grades aren't actually very good?" Gu Shiqing held up a finger and gently shook it in front of Jiang Yan'an, saying, "Little An'an, you should know there's a term called 'unbalanced subject.' Jiang Xing is an example of someone who is extremely unbalanced in his subjects. He could have been in the top five of his grade, but his English grades dragged him down."

Mo Jingyu: Yes, that's how unpredictable English is. When it's on your side, you can get excellent grades; but when it's not, it really doesn't show you any mercy!

"Alright, we're here! Welcome to our Class 4 family!" With that, Gu Shiqing pushed open the classroom door. Inside, the students were quietly studying, and hearing the noise, they assumed it was a subject teacher coming to check on them. Then they heard Gu Shiqing loudly proclaim, "Ahem, the homeroom teacher is here! Hurry up and greet her!"

Mo Jingyu: What the heck is this bowing?! I'm so socially awkward!

The students who were studying all looked up at once, their eyes instantly meeting those of Mo Jingyu standing at the door. The girls couldn't help but scream, while the boys blurted out "Wow!"

A few boys said to Gu Shiqing irritably, "Didn't you say the homeroom teacher wouldn't be here until the next class?"

"Isn't this a surprise for you? Isn't that great?" Gu Shiqing replied with a grin.

Then, Gu Shiqing quickly made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't make such a fuss, look how quiet the other classes are." But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp scream came from next door, causing the whole class to burst into laughter.

Mo Jingyu clapped her hands and said, "Student Gu has been showing us around for so long, he must be tired. Go and take a rest." After saying that, she took Jiang Yan'an's hand and walked up to the podium.

Jiang Yan'an confidently began by introducing herself, "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yan'an. I'm very happy to spend a week with you all, and I hope you'll all give me your guidance and that you'll like me."

As soon as Jiang Yan'an's childish voice faded, a girl in the audience shouted excitedly, "An'an, Mommy loves you!" A moment of silence fell over the room, and the girl sitting next to her quickly reminded her, "Your real mommy is still here."

The girl immediately realized her mistake and apologized to Mo Jingyu, feeling embarrassed. Mo Jingyu smiled gently and said, "Who wouldn't want to be the mother of such an adorable human cub, especially someone as cute as our An'an, right?"

"Yes!" the students below answered in unison, which cleverly eased the girl's embarrassment.

"Hello everyone! My name is Mo Jingyu. I'm an actress, or so I would say, but calling myself a star would feel a bit pretentious. I'm also very happy to be your temporary class teacher. I won't go into too much formality; I hope we can have a wonderful week together. I'll try my best to remember each and every one of your names."

“Me too!” Jiang Yan’an chimed in with a childlike voice.

Then, the students stood up in rows to introduce themselves. At this moment, the self-introductions seemed to lack the awkwardness and reluctance they felt at the beginning of the semester.

Considering that some students might be socially anxious, Mo Jingyu suggested a solution: those with social anxiety could write her a note, which she would read secretly without reading it aloud. Unexpectedly, most of the students in the class were incredibly socially adept, some to a degree that even Mo Jingyu found frightening.

Mo Jingyu asked Jiang Yan'an to collect the notes. When Jiang Yan'an returned, he only had two notes, but a bunch of snacks. Mo Jingyu was both amused and exasperated, and asked, "Did you thank your older brothers and sisters for the snacks?"

Jiang Yan'an nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I provided them with services such as pinching my face and touching my head."

Mo Jingyu affectionately patted Jiang Yan'an's head, thinking to herself: This little guy has a very clear understanding of his own cuteness.

The girl sitting in the front row boldly struck up a conversation with Mo Jingyu, "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, you don't know, I'd give up all my snacks for the whole week just to pinch An'an's little cheeks."

Mo Jingyu said in a deliberately serious tone, "It's not good to ask boys for things. What you're doing is like paying for advanced viewing." Her words made the girls in the class laugh.

The male students said mournfully, "Sister Yu, we're not those bad guys on the trending topics."

“I know, the kind of spending I’m talking about isn’t the kind that happens in a normal romantic relationship. It’s the kind of spending that happens impulsively in an abnormal relationship where the other person doesn’t give and only takes.” Mo Jingyu explained patiently.

After saying that, Mo Jingyu helped Jiang Yan'an put the snacks into his duck-shaped backpack, then unfolded the notes and read them carefully. After reading them, she carefully put the notes into the duck-shaped backpack as well, and then nodded to the two boys and girls who handed in the notes.

"I wish I had written a note too, so my name could have been in my duck backpack." Mo Jingyu overheard a classmate's comment and said with a smile, "You can write one now if you want. I always put them in my outer bag."

Upon hearing this, the students all started writing. Some of the boys even borrowed sticky notes from the girls around them in order to write neatly.
