Chapter 680 - 546: Second Update
Ning Youguang was at a loss for words at Shi Wangyue’s occasional antics, "OKOKOK, whatever you want to do."
Saying this, she gently pushed him away and walked to the corner of the office where she kept the classroom holiday gifts, "Then you need to help me deal with these first."
Shi Wangyue followed her to the wall and understood immediately, "Are these all the gifts you received today?"
Although he understood, he couldn’t help but be surprised by the overwhelming number of gifts in front of him, "How is it more than last year?"
"Because I took on two more new classes this year," Ning Youguang bent over and started to tidy up the gifts.
Shi Wangyue crouched down with her, helping to pack things up, and casually grabbed the nearest box, "Ryukakusan?"
He asked curiously, "What’s this?"
"For soothing the throat," Ning Youguang laughed, "But today the student who gave it to me said it’s for kidney nourishment."
"Kidney nourishment, huh~" Shi Wangyue looked at Ning Youguang.
"He was talking nonsense," Ning Youguang said, amused, "They’re just regular throat lozenges, the mint ones are quite tasty. If you’re interested, you can open one to try, but I think the lychee flavor is a bit odd, feel free to give it a go if you want."
"..." Shi Wangyue casually tossed it into a still-empty bag, "I’ll try it when I get home."
When he placed the items inside, he noticed a few more boxes of throat lozenges in the bag, "These are also throat lozenges."
—"Why do your students give you so many throat lozenges?"
"They fear I’ll get dry throat from talking too much and won’t be able to teach," Ning Youguang felt amused and speechless, "A student gave me Ryukakusan last year too. I definitely can’t eat them during class or I won’t be able to teach at all, any other time it’s okay to eat them as regular candies."
"Hahaha..." Shi Wangyue was amused, "Your students have a knack for gifting, not too expensive but thoughtful, all consumables. Did you give them a heads-up in advance?"
As a teacher, receiving expensive gifts from students feels like a time bomb for Ning Youguang, making her uneasy.
The problem is nowadays many students come from families with good financial conditions and have a lot of pocket money; they’re generous in gifting Ning Youguang.
In previous years, Shi Wangyue even saw several students giving Ning Youguang branded bags, designer perfumes, and cosmetics, and quickly advised them to return those.
She also solemnly declared to those who loved to give expensive gifts, "You absolutely cannot give me these anymore, not secretly either; I won’t accept them and won’t feel happy!"
"Didn’t mention anything specific," Ning Youguang smiled, "But every year, if the gifts they give me exceed fifty yuan, I don’t accept them."
"No wonder I said everything you brought home last year was just small nick-nacks," Shi Wangyue realized, "And many were handmade."
"Right." Hearing about handmade, Ning Youguang remembered the giant cake she received from the faculty this afternoon and laughingly shared this with Shi Wangyue.
"Was the cake tasty?" Shi Wangyue asked with a smile after hearing the story.
"Yes, it was delicious," Ning Youguang said, "They made a rainbow cake, and when you cut it open, it looks beautiful and tastes great!"
"That sounds fun."
With their heads lowered, the two chatted while tidying things up, quickly packing several large bags.
Ning Youguang lifted a bag and felt its weight, "Fortunately, none of them are very heavy, we can take them down in one trip." 1314
