Chapter 2965: Chapter 2965: Awkward Scene on a Grand Scale
"Calm down already, or I’ll lose my cool too."
"The problem is, he’s so handsome, it’s impossible to stay calm." Zhang Wen said.
"I can’t handle it; my heart is racing a bit." Xu Lan said with a giggle:
"How can there be someone so good-looking in this world."
"Can you two act a bit more normal? You’re representing the school right now."
Just as the two were gossiping, a voice came from nearby.
It was a male teacher wearing glasses.
His name is Wang Pengcheng, and he is also a teacher from the Youth League Committee.
"Teacher Wang, what brings you here?"
"Director Zhou said they might bring firefighting equipment, so I came over to see if I could help." Wang Pengcheng said.
Zhang Wen glanced at Wang Pengcheng, who weighed less than 130 pounds, looking thinner than herself. If there was something to move, he probably wouldn’t be much help.
But she only thought this to herself and didn’t say it out loud.
At this moment, Lin Yi and Xu Chunyu’s car pulled up at the school gate.
When Lin Yi got out of the car, Xu Lan and Zhang Wen froze.
Previously, they had seen Lin Yi in short videos and knew his looks were astonishing.
But they didn’t expect the real person to be even more handsome than in the videos.
This made it even harder for the two to keep their composure.
Seeing their reaction, Wang Pengcheng snorted in disdain.
A bunch of face-obsessed animals with no substance.
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Xu, hello."
Xu Lan and Zhang Wen proactively greeted the two.
"I’m Xu Lan, the one who spoke with you on the phone before."
"Hello."
Lin Yi extended his hand to shake theirs, and Xu Chunyu did the same.
After the handshake, the two women’s hearts raced uncontrollably, almost ready to leap out of their throats.
"No need to call us teachers, just call me Lin Yi."
"You’re here for a lecture today, calling you teachers is normal, don’t be so modest." Xu Lan said with a smile:
"Do you have anything in the car? Do you need help moving it?"
"Not much stuff, we can handle it ourselves."
After speaking, Lin Yi and Xu Chunyu carried out an organizing box.
The box wasn’t large, one person could easily manage it.
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Xu, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to our school for a lecture."
"It’s what we should do. Actually, many fire accidents can be prevented if people are aware of relevant fire safety knowledge. Learning this is beneficial for everyone."
"You’re right."
Xu Lan didn’t know what to say, as it was her first time speaking with someone as good-looking as Lin Yi.
Upon entering the campus, Lin Yi’s presence caught the attention of many female students.
They stopped and looked over.
Some even took out their phones to take pictures of him.
"Who is that guy? He’s so good-looking; is he a celebrity?"
"Probably not; maybe he’s some internet celebrity."
"An internet celebrity seems unlikely, how could the school committee be receiving someone like that?"
Everyone speculated about Lin Yi’s identity.
"I heard there’s a leader coming to inspect this afternoon; could it be them?"
"It’s impossible for a leader to be so young."
"I know! I heard there’s a fire safety lecture this afternoon; could they be firefighters?"
Upon hearing this, many people figured it out.
"Looks like it really might be; I need to skip class this afternoon to attend his lecture."
Seeing the attention around them, Xu Chunyu smacked his lips.
The good-looking really can do whatever they want.
God is too unfair.
"Hey, why is there a big group of people gathered there? What’s going on?" Zhang Wen said, standing on tiptoe.
"Let’s go over and take a look, maybe something’s happening."
The group quickened their pace and saw five or six people squatting by the edge of the rubber track, looking down constantly.
"What’s happening?" Xu Lan walked over and asked.
"Teacher Xu, I dropped my phone in the drain and can’t retrieve it." said a long-haired girl.
Xu Lan took a few steps forward and looked into the drain, saying:
"Can’t the manhole cover be opened?"
"Tried just now, but couldn’t move it."
"Girls don’t have much strength, let me do it." Wang Pengcheng said.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang."
Wang Pengcheng walked to the manhole cover; it was rectangular with beams across the middle, making it quite convenient to handle.
Wang Pengcheng grabbed one of the iron bars and pulled upward forcefully.
He originally thought he’d lift it easily but it didn’t budge an inch.
This made the situation somewhat awkward.
Unwilling to give up, Wang Pengcheng used both hands and all his strength, but the cover still didn’t move an inch.
Making the scene even more awkward.
"Teacher Lin, you’re professionals; can you think of another way?" Xu Lan said:
"It’s just a phone, but it’s still worth quite a bit."
"If conventional methods don’t work, we might have to resort to brute force." Xu Chunyu said:
"Using a cutting machine to open the drain, then the phone can be retrieved."
"Even though it’s an inconspicuous thing, it’s public property. We should preserve it as much as possible," Lin Yi said:
"Let me give it a try first."
"How do you plan to try?" Wang Pengcheng said awkwardly.
"See if I can lift it."
"I already tried; the manhole cover is cemented in place and can’t be lifted." Wang Pengcheng said.
"Perhaps you didn’t use the right method." Lin Yi said, smiling:
"Let me try first; if it doesn’t work, then we’ll use the cutting machine."
"Ha..."
Wang Pengcheng let out a cold laugh, a disdainful smile hovering at the corner of his mouth.
Does he really think being a firefighter makes him infinitely strong?
We’ll see how you look then.
Lin Yi approached the drain, squatted down, and grabbed a beam.
Then.
Effortlessly lifted it up, the cover was easily pulled off.
"This..."
Wang Pengcheng was dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
"Teacher Lin, you’re amazing; you lifted it with one pull."
"It’s alright." Lin Yi casually replied, very modest.
Afterward, the girl picked up her phone, thanking Lin Yi profusely.
Only Wang Pengcheng stood awkwardly in place, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Everything’s settled, you can disperse; be careful next time and don’t be careless." Wang Pengcheng advised.
"Got it, Teacher Xu."
"Teacher Lin, thank you so much. Let’s head to the Youth League Committee and get everything arranged, then we can start the lecture."
Lin Yi nodded and followed Xu Lan to the Youth League Committee.
"Damn, what a show-off!" Wang Pengcheng said with a sulky face.
