"Yes, what about you, brother?"
The man looked at him with surprise.
Qin Tian smiled heartily and replied, neither humble nor arrogant, "My name is Qin Tian. We are classmates and teachers of today's protagonists."
"Oh, I see. That's great. It saves me from calling Old Xia to ask."
The man nodded with a smile, put his phone back into his pocket, and then looked at Li Yanwang beside him.
"Hello, I'm their homeroom teacher!"
Li Yanwang greeted him.
"Hello, hello!"
The man responded with a polite smile.
After that, there wasn't much more conversation, and the elevator soon arrived at the sixth floor where the banquet hall was located.
Upon exiting the elevator, one could see the banquet hall on the left.
Xia Nuannuan's parents were standing at the entrance, receiving arriving guests and friends.
"Old Xia!"
The man called out.
Over there, Xia Zhengping, who was chatting with some family relatives, looked over, his smile becoming even brighter.
"Old Zhou, why are you so late? It's about to start, and you're just arriving!"
"I'm not late yet, am I? You know I'm afraid of flying. I drove all the way from Guangcheng myself, driving through the night."
"Alright, alright, you've worked hard. Let's have a few more drinks later!"
As the two chatted and laughed, Old Xia had already walked up to the man and shaken his hand.
Beside the man surnamed Zhou, the woman opened her mouth to greet him, but Xia Zhengping had already taken the initiative to greet Li Yanwang behind him.
"Teacher Li, welcome, welcome! We're honored by your presence!"
"No, no, you're too kind!"
Old Li quickly shook his head with a smile.
"And welcome to you all!"
Xia Zhengping then looked at Qin Tian and the others and said with a smile, "Xiao Qin, help Teacher Li and the others find their seats. We'll be eating soon."
"Okay, don't worry about us."
Qin Tian replied promptly.
"Teacher Li, I'll toast you properly later. It's all thanks to your efforts that Nuannuan got into Jiangda!"
Xia Zhengping said to Li Yanwang with great gratitude.
"That's because student Xia Nuannuan worked hard herself. It has little to do with me!"
"It does have something to do with it. More guests are arriving. I won't say more. Xiao Qin, I'll leave it to you!"
"Alright!"
Qin Tian responded.
Xia Zhengping nodded and, with a smile, quickly walked towards two elders emerging from the elevator.
Throughout this entire exchange, Old Xia seemed to completely ignore the female celebrity.
Old Xia wasn't doing it intentionally, but he was simply too busy. Moreover, his old friend's female companions changed so frequently that he couldn't quite remember.
As they walked into the banquet hall, Qin Tian and the others following behind could clearly hear the woman angrily complaining to the man beside her.
"What does your friend mean by that?"
"I know Old Xia. He didn't do it on purpose; he's just too busy!"
"Heh, I think your friend doesn't take me seriously at all. And yes, your influence as President Zhou is far greater than mine!"
"Darling, don't talk like that."
"Am I being dragged to this lousy place just to be humiliated?"
"Shh... please, keep your voice down!"
The man glanced at Qin Tian and the others, offering an awkward smile of apology.
After he turned away, Qin Tian and the others exchanged glances, their expressions quite peculiar.
As they reached the entrance of the banquet hall, the mother-in-law, with a gentle smile, greeted everyone politely one by one.
"Xiao Qin, you're family now. Please take care of Teacher Li and the students for us!"
Finally, Su Xia made a surprising request.
"No problem, don't worry!"
Qin Tian smiled and nodded in agreement.
Beside him, Zhang Peng and the others looked at him with surprise.
The man surnamed Zhou's eyes widened, and he scanned Qin Tian up and down in astonishment.
Then, the group entered the banquet hall.
In the spacious and bright banquet hall, many guests were already seated.
Xia Nuannuan was sitting at one of the dining tables, chatting and laughing with several elder relatives.
Upon seeing Qin Tian and the others enter, Xia Nuannuan quickly raised her right arm and waved at them.
Qin Tian pointed to a dining table on the right, indicating that he would lead everyone there to sit.
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a sweet smile.
Thus, Qin Tian led everyone over and they took their seats around a dining table.
The table could accommodate ten people. There were eight of them, plus Li Yanwang, making a total of nine, leaving one seat for Xia Nuannuan.
The man surnamed Zhou and his companion sat down at an empty table next to them, precisely behind Qin Tian.
"Brother Tian, you're truly amazing! You've already won over your future mother-in-law and father-in-law?"
Zhang Peng couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
Hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Qin Tian again.
Even Li Yanwang was quite curious.
He knew some things about this student couple and was surprised by how quickly their relationship had progressed after the college entrance examination.
"What are you talking about!"
Qin Tian glanced at Zhang Peng and poured tea for everyone with the teapot on the table.
"Pretending to be ignorant again!"
Zhang Peng rolled his eyes and continued with a playful smirk, "You've all graduated now, and Old Li won't manage your dating lives anymore. Tell us!"
"Ahem!"
Li Yanwang cleared his throat with a stern expression.
"Old Li, what's wrong? Are you really going to manage it?"
Zhang Peng looked at Li Yanwang with surprise.
"Teacher Li, look how he talks to you. In a little while, he'll be unstoppable!"
Qin Tian said with a smile, handing a cup of tea to Old Li.
Old Li took the teacup, glared at Zhang Peng with a blank expression.
Even after graduation, Li Yanwang was still Li Yanwang. Zhang Peng quickly felt a bit nervous, his eyes darting away.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, Zhang Peng stays up all night in internet cafes!"
Tian Jiajia's eyes darted around as she suddenly raised her hand to report him.
"Is that so?"
Li Yanwang's brow furrowed instantly, and he looked at Qin Tian for confirmation.
Sweat broke out on Zhang Peng's forehead as he frantically signaled to Qin Tian.
However, Qin Tian directly ignored his pitiable gaze and nodded in agreement, saying, "I can testify that this is true. Uncle Zhang has been busy with work lately, and since he's satisfied with his college entrance exam results, he hasn't managed him for now!"
Li Yanwang nodded slightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a serious expression, "This won't do. The college entrance examination doesn't represent everything. It seems I need to call his parents and have a good chat!"
"Teacher Li, please don't! I was wrong!"
Zhang Peng said with a mournful face, quickly admitting his mistake.
After all, his father always respected teachers the most.
Since elementary school, his father often said:
"Teacher XX, this child is in your hands. Scold him when he needs scolding, beat him when he needs beating. If he's mischievous, call me directly, and I'll deal with him!"
Now, because of his outstanding performance in the college entrance examination and the help with his university major choices, Li Yanwang had become the most revered teacher in his father's heart.
Undoubtedly, if Li Yanwang made that call, he wouldn't be able to go to internet cafes anymore.
