Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Happy Troubles
Finally back to school, I saw the scars on their faces that hadn't completely healed. Many classmates gathered around to ask about that night.
Although the official story was that they had fallen off their bikes, with so many teachers rushing over that night, there was no wall that could keep the news from leaking out. Everyone knew that the two of them had fought off three bullies. From the perspective of these bystanders who had not been personally involved, it was a very exciting and dramatic story.
Two people fighting three, and actually gaining the upper hand, is a plot that is well worth talking about. However, Feng Yiping was reluctant to say anything. To be honest, the most mischievous student in the class now also felt a little nervous in front of Feng Yiping, who was smiling. Seeing that he was reluctant to talk, they all gathered around Xiao Zhijie.
Scars are a man's medals. Not only did Xiao Zhijie talk about what happened that night with a flushed face, he also deliberately showed everyone the medals on his face.
Zhang Qiuling was also eager to see what exactly was on Xiao Zhijie's face, but she was too embarrassed to call him over, so she joined the two girls in the back in gawking at Feng Yiping, 'Will there be a scar here by the corner of the mouth? Will it disfigure him?' Zhang Qiuling asked.
'Don't worry, Zhijie and I both have superficial injuries. Once the scabs have healed, there won't be a problem!' Feng Yiping reassured her.
'Who cares!' Zhang Qiuling said stubbornly.
Wang Jinju is Huang Jingping's best friend, and she and Feng Yiping are just casual classmates, so she is very optimistic and unconcerned. She turns Feng Yiping's head from side to side, saying, 'As long as there is no injury on the head, it's fine. Your body is valuable, and you have a precious brain. It's fine to have a scar on your face, because you weren't that good-looking anyway!'
Feng Yiping is really taken aback. Although his eyes are small and his nose is not small, when they come together, the overall look is definitely quite handsome!
In the past, he would have retorted, but today, he felt a little unnatural. He just moved his mouth a little and smiled. Even Wang Jinju felt strange. 'You were beaten up and you've become so gentle and obedient. This is really a pleasant surprise!'
However, she had good judgment and saw the signs of Feng Yiping becoming angry. She consciously went with Zhang Qiuling to the other side to gawk at Xiao Zhijie, who had finished showing off.
Feng Yiping was also very hesitant when he saw Huang Jingping, whose eyes were red. He didn't know what to say. This was not the same as before. After all, Huang Jingping could not have been unaware of Huang Chengzhong going to see him.
Sure enough, Huang Jingping didn't say anything apologetic or about being implicated. She looked closer at the injury on Feng Yiping's face, then wiped her eyes and took out a stack of prepared worksheets and a notebook from the desk. 'These are the worksheets we've done in the past few days, and the key points the teacher has covered in the past few days are all in this notebook.'
This was a bit of a problem. Without saying anything formal, it was clear that Huang Jingping had redefined their relationship. This was truly a happy problem!
But the situation did not allow him to say anything else. Feng Yiping took over and said, 'Teacher Wang should have saved it for us!'
'You can start with this. And, I've also highlighted some key points in your textbook.'
Feng Yiping casually took the English textbook and looked at it. Sure enough, there were some more delicate words on it.
It really felt good!
After the last lesson of the morning, Feng Yiping followed Wang Yumin to her house. Little Swallow held his face in her hands and gently blew on the wounds, 'If I blow on them, they won't hurt anymore, Brother Yiping!'
'You really made it better with that blow!' Feng Yiping kissed her little face.
'Well done!' Teacher Zhu praised him, 'If it were us, we would only be able to do that much when we encounter something like that!'
'Okay, you don't have to praise him anymore. If this continues, he'll be a problem wherever he goes,' said Teacher Wang.
'It's unfair, Teacher Wang,' Feng Yiping of course had to complain, 'I've always been honest and trustworthy, and it's always the trouble that comes to me.'
'Then why do people keep picking on you, and not Tang Shaokang or Xiao Zhijie? Don't you have any responsibility in this?' Wang Yumin asked him. 'We all think you're a mature kid, and you don't like to talk about certain things. You seem easy-going in class, but you don't really fit in. You only hang out with a few classmates, and there are a few girls among them, right?'
I'm going to go, this is definitely going to make me blush before you feel satisfied!
But Feng Yiping really had no answer, because the truth was probably, probably, and possibly just like that.
'But look at yourself. You've caused so many problems recently. If this continues, you'd better not live outside, you'd better just live at school honestly.' Teacher Wang was also getting a little angry towards the end. In theory, Feng Yiping was the student she least needed to worry about, but recently, it was precisely him who had been causing her the most grief.
Feng Yiping sat with his head bowed. Teacher Zhu handed him a glass of water and glanced at Teacher Wang a few times. Wang Yumin calmed down a little and then said in a different tone, 'Being young and hot-tempered is actually not a bad thing, but those who are arrogant are easily broken, and those who are bright are easily tarnished. You are now at a critical juncture in your life. It is best to be humble and tolerant, whether with people or things, and not make any mistakes at this time. If something really happened to you that night, what would your parents do? All right, I won't say any more, just think about it!'
Although Feng Yiping had already examined himself, he was still moved by the teacher's kind criticism. 'I know, Mr Wang, I will examine myself.'
Huang Jingping has also changed a lot now. Although her classmates have already determined in private that the two of them have an unusual relationship, it is because of this that Su Yong has asked someone to teach Feng Yiping a lesson. In the past, she always deliberately avoided suspicion, but now she doesn't care much.
At lunch, when she saw that Feng Yiping and the others had peanuts in their dishes, she immediately helped him pick them out one by one, saying, 'These are hair-trigger foods. Your face scar isn't even healed yet, so how can you eat them?'
The other students around them all smiled knowingly, and Feng Wen said in a strange voice, 'So you're controlling him now!'
A few days later, I don't know whether to say it was lucky or unlucky, they were informed that starting from their year, there would be an additional physical education test in the middle school entrance exam.
There were three events, each worth ten points, totalling 30 points, equivalent to the last comprehensive question in mathematics.
The three events were: 50-metre shuttle run, standing long jump, and shot put.
After receiving the notice, the PE teacher of the three third-year classes conducted a preliminary assessment. In total, there were 20 students in the three classes who were certain to get full marks, while the others were not satisfactory.
After that, every afternoon and evening, the third-year class teachers all took part, each taking a group and carrying out targeted training.
Unfortunately, here is the problem. Feng Yiping is okay in the other two subjects. If he practices more in the remaining semester, he can probably get full marks in the exam, except for the standing long jump, which is his Achilles heel.
He has mastered the key points and has the correct posture, but no matter how much he jumps, he can't go higher than 1.2 metres, which is still a long way from the full mark.
The PE teacher, class teacher, physics teacher, chemistry teacher, all came to tutor him, and in the end they all sighed. The head teacher, who didn't believe in superstition, heard about it and personally tutored him one evening. When he finished, he saw his final score and couldn't help but help him jump. 'You tell me, you're so tall and have such long legs, how come you can only jump such a short distance?'
The physics teacher followed up with a joke, 'Haha, our all-around student finally has a weakness!'
Feng Yiping was at a loss for words. Yes, even Huang Jingping, who was so clumsy, could jump two metres. How come he was so bad? But what could he do? He really did try his best.
One teacher after another was disappointed and, before leaving, they all said, 'You should really try harder and practise more. You can't get a 10, but at least get an 8!'
Huang Jingping was even more anxious than Feng Yiping. For Feng Yiping and the others, two points could knock them down several places in the rankings, not to mention that his current score was not even good enough for five points. If that happened in the middle school entrance exam, how many places would he drop?
So, she no longer cared about the gossip of her classmates, and she even stopped taking Wang Jinju with her. Every evening, she took Feng Yiping to the riverbank outside and danced with him over and over again.
