Forced into a Secret Marriage with the Villain, We Now Have a Child - Chapter 49.2

Currently, the dictation content Jin Ziye had to complete covered not only Physics but also Chemistry and Biology. He was in a state of “painful bliss,” finally understanding the old proverb: A teacher for a day is a mother for a lifetime. Honestly, Jian Chun interfered in his life more than his own mother—though to be fair, his current mother was a stepmother, so he didn’t like to bring her up.

Jian Chun scanned his work with practiced speed. Satisfied with his hard work, she dismissed him. What she didn’t know was that a “slacker organization” in her class was also being forced to grind. As soon as Jin Ziye returned, he imposed the same dictation tasks on his new underlings. The lackeys were miserable; they hadn’t even joined Yu Siyi’s fandom, so why were they being treated so ruthlessly?

A Virtual Reunion

Jian Chun didn’t have evening self-study duty today, but out of a sense of responsibility as a class advisor, she stayed for two periods anyway. Since the day she had brought Niannian to school, she hadn’t brought her back. The students missed the little girl, viewing her like a tiny cub that had accidentally wandered into a den of beasts.

Though she didn’t bring Niannian in person, Jian Chun had given the toddler a tablet. They had a scheduled time to video chat every night. With the help of the nanny, Niannian had finally learned how to cram her chubby face into the camera frame.

During dinner, Jian Chun started the video call. Yi Xueyang squeezed into the frame to say hello. Niannian was overjoyed, practically wagging an invisible tail; this was the highlight of her day. Jian Chun, who couldn’t get enough of her daughter herself, shoved Yi Xueyang aside when she tried to hog the screen.

While Jian Chun fussed over Niannian’s meals and homework, Yi Xueyang opened a video app to watch TV. Occasionally, Jian Chun would glance at the screen while chatting with her daughter. Niannian never tired of the daily routine, answering every question with the nanny’s quiet help in the background.

“Turn the volume down,” Jian Chun nudged Yi Xueyang. “You’re still talking?” Yi Xueyang noted that thirty minutes had passed and Jian Chun had barely eaten.

Eventually, Jian Chun told Niannian to go play on her little bike for exercise. The little girl leaned in, pressing her pink lips to the screen for a loud “muah.” Jian Chun returned the kiss just as loudly, making Yi Xueyang shiver. “You people with kids… so cheesy.”

The “Most Beautiful Teacher”

Once the call ended, Yi Xueyang pushed her phone toward Jian Chun with a sly grin. “I used to dislike Rong Zhen, but his international work is actually decent. His new theme song is everywhere.” “You’ve turned from a hater to a fan?” Jian Chun asked, shoveling rice into her mouth. “Not a fan, just… he’s less ‘pretty boy’ and more mature now.”

Suddenly, Yi Xueyang’s expression changed as she scrolled through a link. She slapped Jian Chun’s shoulder. “Holy crap, Jian Chun! You’re famous!” “For what?” “Someone posted your photo on the school forum. They’re calling you ‘Hanhai High’s Most Beautiful Teacher.’ Look at this lighting—it looks professionally designed! It’s definitely one of your students.”

Jian Chun looked at the playful glint in Yi Xueyang’s eyes. “I think I’ve been too lenient with them,” Jian Chun said coldly. “I’m going back to confiscate their phones. Does the school have metal detectors?” Yi Xueyang: “…”

The Forum Post: [Gossip] Our Class Advisor is a Fan of Goddess Yu!

OP: Found out today that our teacher is a hardcore fan of Yu Siyi!! I’ve been hyped for days! 1L: I know her, she teaches us too. 8L: Doesn’t she look like a celebrity herself? 12L: Too bad she said we’re all getting kicked out of the fandom because our grades suck. 1543L: Oh crap, she’s coming in with a metal detector!

Jian Chun moved like lightning. She caught the “fish that escaped the net” and lined up fifteen phones on the desk. One even had a Yu Siyi phone case. “Hand it over,” she said, gesturing to Jin Ziye. “I wasn’t even on the forum!” he grumbled. “I have to be fair,” she replied.

After locking the phones in her cabinet, Jian Chun went home. She spent the evening with Niannian, who was scared after hearing about Detective Conan from a classmate and insisted on sleeping in Jian Chun’s bed. Once the “scented” toddler was asleep, Jian Chun prepared for the next day—International Women’s Day—which meant a half-day off for female teachers.

The Weibo Explosion

At 11:00 PM, her phone flashed. It was Yi Xueyang: “Holy sht, you’re viral!”* Jian Chun clicked the link. It wasn’t just a school forum anymore; it was on Weibo.

Trending Topics:

#MostBeautifulTeacherIsAFan (Trending)

#GoddessYuReposts (Explosive)

Jian Chun’s heart sank. She went to Yu Siyi’s profile—an account she hadn’t looked at without hostility in a long time. There it was: Yu Siyi had reposted the thread about the “Beautiful Teacher.”

A fan had tagged Yu Siyi, asking: “Did you know you have such a legendary fan?” Yu Siyi’s response: “She is someone very special to me.”

The internet went into a meltdown. The ambiguity of the phrase “special person” was too much for the fans to handle. Top Comment: “Goddess! Who is she to you?!” Yu Siyi’s Reply: “We were classmates.”

The fans were pacified—“Oh, just old schoolmates! What a coincidence!”—but those who knew the truth, like Zhu Feifei, were losing their minds. Is she going public? Does she want to retire?

Jian Chun was the most stressed of all. She looked at Yu Siyi’s profile picture, a sudden flame of anger rising in her chest. She fired off a series of messages:

Jian Chun: “Are you crazy? Why are you getting involved?” Jian Chun: “Are you trying to send a message? Or are you just trying to keep me on a leash?” Jian Chun: “Yu Siyi?!”
