Chapter 977: Chapter 450: Xue Jian Is Not a Squishy Toy, He Is a Thorny Rose (Part 2)
"Alright! Wang Ze, as expected from Teacher Xue’s favorite student who he keeps close to the podium for special observation every day, let’s go!"
"Let’s go!"
The conversation outside the hallway temporarily ceased.
Inside the classroom.
Originally bustling due to the end of class, the classroom quieted down instinctively once Lin Li’s voice appeared, especially Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana. With the conversation progressing, everyone became increasingly silent, until the entire classroom was dead silent.
Everyone was listening intently.
But as the outside voices faded, discordant sounds gradually emerged inside.
After all, except for Xue Jian whose mouth kept twitching, everyone else was holding back laughter.
The main victim was still present; laughing too loudly would be impolite.
Ding Sihan on the podium was especially like this, holding back laughter like her aunt.
Damn it, before evening self-study, Lin Li asked me to go up and question Xue Jian a minute before class ends if he’s present, but didn’t tell me the plot would be this dramatic.
Unable to hold back, Ding Sihan turned and lightly bumped her forehead against the blackboard, trying to stop her mouth from curling up.
Victim Xue Jian: "...☉_☉..."
He gazed towards the hallway.
Every time he thought Lin Li and Bai Bufan would be like this for life, they always managed to do something that made him feel even more helpless.
Are these two guys African or what?
Feels like I need a 7.62 antibiotic injection.
"..."
"..."
"We’re really leaving, is no one going to stop us——"
"We’re really leaving——it’s true——"
At the back door, Bai Bufan noticed Xue Jian had no reaction and extended his tone, sounding a bit unsure:
"Really really really really leaving, though my living allowance is only a hundred bucks this month, spending sixty or seventy to buy forty apples is no problem, thirty bucks to live for four days, I can manage really well——"
"After all, it’s for Teacher Xue, I’m willing——"
"But actually, someone could stop us... hello?"
"I’m already far away now..."
This was great.
Listening to Bai Bufan’s somewhat despairing "thoughts" and "self-talk," not to mention the other remaining classmates in the classroom, even Xue Jian himself struggled to keep his mouth from twitching.
"Hoo——"
Even his exhale trembled slightly with amusement.
Xue Jian shook his head; last lifetime must have been sins.
Glancing at Ding Sihan squatting and laughing on the ground, Xue Jian stopped discussing the topic and got up, heading for the door.
However, Xue Jian just stuck his head out the main door to scold, when Bai Bufan and Wang Ze instantly pushed the back door and entered the classroom.
When Xue Jian pulled his head back, the two immediately exited the room again.
Xue Jian: "..."
Is this hide-and-seek or a king vs. king scenario?
But he couldn’t be bothered with the two, estimating the schemer wasn’t even present; deal with it later. Xue Jian looked around the classroom and cooperated:
"Oh, so today is Christmas Eve, forgot with all the busyness, need to prepare peaceful blessings for everyone. Disciplinary committee to handle the rules during next self-study, I’ll be back later."
Leaving these words, Xue Jian left the classroom.
"..."
"..."
"Hahahahaha——"
As Xue Jian left, following a brief silence, Class 1-4 erupted in laughter.
"Mission accomplished with flying colors!" Bai Bufan who sneaked back into the classroom cheered excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen! Remember the heroes of today’s apple feast!"
"Bai Bufan! Lin Li!"
"Bai Bufan! Lin Li!"
The classroom started jeering.
Of course, the ones chanting were mostly the boys in the back row led by Zhou Baowei, who loved the good show, and a few girls.
"Tch, with our tricks, if we entered the Class D advocating merit, effortlessly we’d lead the class to become Class A." Among the cheers, Bai Bufan couldn’t help clasping hands behind his back, somewhat inflated with pride.
The most anime-watching Zhang Haoyang, upon hearing this, looked at Bai Bufan disdainfully.
If these two guys went into the merit-advocating classroom——
Episode one: Time Travel! Merit Advocation Classroom!
Episode two: School bans pets, Bai Bufan forced to drop out!
Episode three: School rules amended by 120 clauses! Principal Lin gives an important speech!
Anyway, none of them were human.
...
"Gratitude to the well-digger when drinking water, Tianming, when eating apples later, remember to thank me."
After finishing competition tutoring, heading back to the classroom from the multimedia hall, Lin Li turned towards the light bulb Chen Tianming behind him with a grin.
"Heh, definitely not as tasty as Qiaoqiao’s apples." Already informed by Lin Li about his absence during the break, Chen Tianming replied dismissively.
Having just let go of his smiling expression earlier, he couldn’t resist curling up again.
"Sigh, all Bufan’s fault for ruining my surprise. Qiaoqiao just wanted him to put it in my drawer, didn’t ask him to tell me. Qiaoqiao originally planned to let me know after tutoring ends and then to get it from the drawer."
Chen Tianming shook his head, sweetly complaining.
"Say that in front of Bufan then." Lin Li laughed.
"Can’t, he’ll be sarcastic. I’ve got more use for him." Chen Tianming was quite rational.
Lin Li gave a thumbs up, but could understand Chen Tianming: "Actually, I also think the class monitor’s apple tastes best."
Walking beside him, Chen Yu Ying lightly elbowed Lin Li upon hearing this and gave him a playful glance.
Then, the girl turned, gazing back at the unnecessary presence Chen Tianming behind her. Thankfully, this classmate who was shamelessly tagging along insisted on heading back with them, or Lin Li might have wanted a snack along the way.
