Xiaobo looked into class nine when he passed by with Lin Yi- he couldn’t see Tang Yin anywhere, and Lin Yi pulled him back a while later. “Okay, that’s enough- we don’t want their teacher seeing your face peeking on them.”
“Ugh……” Xiaobo pulled his head back. “Wonder if Tang Yin’s even came back to her class.”
“You think you have a chance with her?” Lin Yi asked unrelentlessly.
“No!” Xiaobo shook his head instantly, he was very well aware of the distance between them.
“Then what’re you wasting time for, looking for her like that?” Lin Yi slapped the back of Xiaobo’s head. “Go back and study, you’ll be screwed if you don’t get into a college!”
“I’m not thinking about that, okay? I’ve got no chance, but you’re different, boss!” Xiaobo said with a bitter smile. “I was thinking you could be the hero saving a damsel in distress earlier, Tang Yin might even have a thing for you if something like that takes place, but… I never expected a result like that!”
Hm? Lin Yi paused a bit at Xiaobo’s words as a thought crossed his mind- Tang Yin didn’t think he was trying to win her favor by saving her, did she? Or did the girl think he’d planned the whole thing out with Zou Ruoming? It wouldn’t be a stretch, for sure, and it’d also explain why she’d misunderstand Lin Yi’s intentions. It was very likely that Tang Yin assumed that Lin Yi was after her the same way Ruoming was!
How defensive could a girl get?! A bitter smile formed on Lin Yi’s lips as he contemplated- although, things were indeed starting to get interesting. He’d really throw himself in this sort of school life if he weren’t on a mission, enjoying the subtleties and bonds youths his age should be experiencing.
“Let’s go, class is starting.” Lin Yi reminded as he quickened his steps. The initial school bell was ringing already.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were back in the classroom long ago, busy mumbling something to each other in their seats. Yushu raised her head for a glance at Lin YI when he entered, before turning back to her mumbling with Mengyao.
Lin Yi was a little surprised to see Zhong Pinliang absent- his seat was empty while Zhang Naipao and Gao Xiaofu’s weren’t.
It didn’t take Xiaobo long before he got the news from someone else- the police showed up earlier, bringing Pinliang away with them.
The development took Lin Yi by surprise, as well. Was it Heibao Bro? Pinliang was pretty unlucky if Heibao refused to take everything on his shoulders, naming Zhong Pinliang as the mastermind instead.
Last period involved more testing and tutoring. The student committee were then tasked with bringing the stack of finished test papers to distribute randomly to the other students; the teacher would then go through the questions as every student marked someone else’s test paper.
It saved time for the teacher- there were tests almost everyday in twelfth grade, nowadays, and this sort of method suited the fast-paced atmosphere well.
Lin Yi’s blinked in surprise as he saw who the student committee member in the class was- Chen Yushu! She started distributing the test papers after the testing was completed, not looking at Lin Yi at all as she placed one of the test papers on his desk. She treated the job quite seriously, it seemed, as can be seen from her face.
Although, Yushu did chuckle evilly as she turned away to continue the distribution.
“Chu Mengyao?” Lin Yi was speechless as he looked at whose test paper he was- there was no way something could be this coincidental. Lin Yi was a hundred percent certain that this Yushu was causing trouble on purpose again.
The boys in class, in actuality, look forward to finally getting Mengyao or Yushu’s test paper one day- it was a piece of paper, yes, but it belonged to the godesses of the school. Some of their aroma and presence more or less remained on it, and it was pretty nice and satisfying to get close to them this way, even if it was only through the test paper.
Unfortunately, the two girls only ever exchanged their test papers with each other- people guessed that Yushu was abusing her power, but no one was as tasteless and free to be exposing her like that.
Yushu had planned to let Lin Yi and Mengyao grade each other’s test papers this time around, creating a coincidence for the two.
Yushu walked back to her seat with two test papers left, placing the two of them on Mengyao’s desk as she grinned. “Yao Yao, which one do you pick?”
“Huh? Don’t we always grade each other’s?” Mengyao looked at Yushu curiously.
“Um… I accidentally gave yours to someone else…” Yushu explained. “So…”
“It’s okay…” Mengyao wasn’t expecting it to be a success every time Yushu did it- it wasn’t a big deal at all for her to screw up once or twice. “It doesn’t matter, anyone’s is fine.”
Mengyao, naturally, didn’t care- it wasn’t her test paper anyway.
“Oh. Here, take this one then!” Yushu said as she pushed Lin Yi’s paper to Mengyao, pulling her own test back.
“Lin Yi?” Mengyao froze upon seeing the name on the test, and seemed to understand something as she turned to Yushu, who acted as if nothing was going on. It was clearly her doing! “Shu!”
“Uh, what’s up?” Yushu raised her head with a smile, as if she had nothing to do with it.
“Let me see your test paper!” Mengyao said, reaching her hand to the test paper Yushu was gripping tightly.
“Hah? It’s just a test paper..?” Yushu started panicking a little- Mengyao was on to her! With that, the grip on the test paper tightened.
“Give it.” Mengyao ordered as she pulled on the test paper; Yushu could only let go before the girl tore the whole thing apart. Mengyao’s eyes widened upon seeing Yushu’s name on it. Yushu was grading her own test paper! “Shu!! Where’s my test paper?”
“Umm…. I gave it to… Shield Guy… to play with…” A dirty thought crossed Yushu’s mind. Heh. Play with.
“I can’t believe this!” Mengyao didn’t know what to say to Yushu- the girl can’t be serious! She’d gotten used to her antics already, understanding that Yushu wanted nothing than to cause as much trouble as possible, but still!
Mengyao’s eyes turned back to Lin Yi’s paper, glaring at it as she reached for her red pen. Completely disregarding all consequence, Mengyao started spamming X’s on Lin Yi’s answers from start to bottom, throwing a finishing touch at it with a big fat “0” before putting the pen aside. She let a deep breath out after blowing the steam off.
