Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

After the incident of unexpectedly encountering a snake, everyone walked with branches in their hands, continuously tapping on the grass beside them to avoid any more snakes hiding and giving them a scare.

The short path to the school, merely over ten miles through the mountains, was a tense and fluctuating journey for the group, while the children who traveled it daily were calm and composed.

After their feet were sore, the group finally reached the school where the children studied. It was said that this school was where children from several nearby villages came to study.

Though they called this place a school, it was merely a row of broken-down houses. The playground was very small, with a tiny raising and lowering flagpole, under which all the children would gather for a flag-raising ceremony before class, and to take attendance.

On the edge of the playground, there was a vegetable garden where the vegetables grew quite well, lush and green. The students’ meals at the school depended largely on this garden.

The entire school had less than a hundred students combined, and only three teachers: one taught Chinese, one taught mathematics, and the other taught miscellaneous subjects.

The one who taught all subjects was the principal of the school. The principal was the kind of person who could adapt to where they were needed most in the school; if a teacher couldn’t make it to class, the principal would step in.

The principal, being one of the locals, had returned to their hometown after college, dedicated to working in education, hoping to change the fate of the next generation through knowledge.

The two teachers were university student volunteers. The pay for teachers here was so little it wasn’t enough to cover food, they even had to subsidize expenses themselves. Being a teacher here relied on good character, strong moral standards, and high qualities.

However, these volunteer teachers wouldn’t stay here forever; the shortest stay was one or two years, or even a few months, longest was three to four years, but eventually, they would leave.

It just so happened that Wenren Shuangshuang and the others arrived when a volunteer teacher was leaving. This teacher had persevered here for four years, one of the longest stays among volunteer teachers.

Initially, the teacher didn’t plan to leave and hoped to continue volunteering for a few more years. But in the past two years, their family increasingly urged them to return.

The main issue was that the teacher wasn’t young anymore, almost thirty, didn’t have a job due to volunteering, and had dedicated a lot of their youth to these children in the Da Shan.

The family didn’t want him to keep wasting time here. Although the teacher didn’t feel this way, they couldn’t resist the repeated persuasion from the family, and in the end decided to leave.

The new volunteer teacher had yet to arrive, causing the principal and remaining teacher to be overwhelmed with the children. Without the diligence and obedience of the children, the two would have struggled to manage.

Today was the last class for the departing volunteer teacher. The crew happened to catch this moment, and Zhang Huijuan immediately decided to put this scene on camera.

In his final class, the tall man felt his eyes moisten several times. The children sat neatly on simple stools, listening intently to the teacher’s last lesson.

At noon, two parents from the village came to the school to cook. The school’s vegetable garden and cooking duties were rotated among the students’ parents.

If it weren’t for the parents voluntarily helping, the three teachers wouldn’t be able to handle nearly a hundred students.

Lunch was simple: fried vegetables, egg soup, and white steamed buns. Though the dishes were bland, the children ate heartily without leaving any behind.

Such fare was naturally inedible for the crew, but even Xi Shuang, who never tolerated discomfort, didn’t complain and finished everything in her bowl.

After lunch, the teacher who had finished the last class picked up his backpack, ready to leave. Before departing, he took a reluctant glance at the place he’d stayed for four years, lingering for a moment before turning away.

Just as he was about to step out of the school gate, the students, who were previously obediently lined up under the principal’s guidance to see the teacher off, couldn’t hold back any longer. They rushed towards him, surrounding him and grabbing at his clothes.

”Teacher, don’t go.”

”Teacher, we don’t want you to leave.”

”Teacher, please don’t leave us.”

”Teacher, I can’t bear to part with you, can you not go?”

”Teacher, we’ll miss you if you go; please don’t leave us. I don’t want to never see you again.”

”Teacher, don’t go. I’ll be attentive in class from now on, and I’ll stop daydreaming.”

”Teacher, I promise I’ll get a hundred on my exams; please don’t leave us.”

”Teacher, don’t leave. I’ll promise to stop being naughty now.”

”Teacher...”

”Teacher...”

The heartfelt pleas and expectant faces looked up at him, the teary, clear eyes were all the motivation for which he had worked so hard for so long.

The man couldn’t help but drop his backpack and hugged the students, bursting into tears: ”I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I have to abandon you, but I don’t want to leave you either.”

He truly loved these adorable students and genuinely wanted to spend his life fighting for them here.

However, in a person’s life, the responsibilities and ties of family and friends are too many, and one cannot truly live selfishly for oneself.

With the help of the principal and the other teacher, the man finally tore himself away from the little crowd of weeping students and walked out of the school gate, only to be surrounded by parents again.

These parents carried large and small packages of goods, all mountain products, to see him off after hearing he was leaving.

The expressions of gratitude were heartfelt, the gifts sincere, causing the man to tear up again. Such a scene was captured on camera by Zhang Huijuan, touching countless viewers watching the live broadcast.

”Oh no, I’m going to cry to death, this teacher is truly incredible.”

”This is the most admirable person, I declare this man is more handsome than any stars, no objections accepted.”

”My eyes are swollen from crying; I won’t be able to go out tomorrow, but I can’t stop my tears.”

”Actually, I graduated from a normal university and received an offer to volunteer to teach. I was hesitating about accepting it.

But now I’ve decided, I will definitely volunteer. If my youth lasts ten years, I’m willing to spend half of it for these simple and lovely kids.”

”I support you, wait for me. I also graduated from a normal university, and I’m preparing to apply to teach in remote areas.

Although I may not endure long, maybe I’m only infatuated, but I intend to try. In case I can handle this hardship.”

”I support you too, it’s not wrong to fear hardship, but being brave enough to try is commendable.”
