Chapter 36: Chen, Scenery, Depth
Perhaps because of his single eyelid, or because of his long and narrow eyes, Chen Jingshen's eyes always have an intimidating look in them.
In Yu Fan's words, it's a punch in the face, a very big punch in the face.
But when Chen Jingshen lowers himself to look at a certain place or a certain person, the defense and indifference that he has been wearing for so many years disappears, and his dark eyes become bright.
If you'd looked at me with such polite eyes from the beginning, I wouldn't have picked on you.
Yu Fan thought inexplicably.
It wasn't until there was a scattering of footsteps behind her that Yu Fan finally came to her senses, and whooshed her hand away.
A few seconds later, he thought of something else and reached up to rub his ears furiously.
Zuo Kuan voice from far to near: "No, I say you run so fast why? Hu Pang is not behind you to catch you ...... And why are you dragging the school bully, we are going to fight eh, the school bully can not follow?"
Chen Jingshen stood up straight and faintly said, "I'll go together."
The crowd was silent for a few seconds in silence, "......"
Zuo Kuan said hypocritically, "That's not good, we can't afford to be responsible if we bump into it again."
Mostly because I think you'll drag your feet.
"It's okay, we have a lot of people here, don't worry, School Master, I'm sure I'll return your share to them as well. Let's go Yu Fan , take advantage of the lunch time ...... " Zuo Kuan stared at the back of the front and frowned, "Why do you keep rubbing your ears? It's all red."
"Mosquito bites." Yu Fan said coldly.
Zuo Kuan : "Then what are you doing with your back to me?"
"Don't want to see you."
"......"
You're really not being polite at all.
Zuo Kuan : "Then how many steps forward are you? Go to the school next door to get your revenge."
Zuo Kuan is a typical rebellious student who grew up loving to watch Goonies.
He was obsessed with this incident because he wanted to help Yu Fan out, and because he enjoyed the prestige and "fame" that fighting in a group brought him. I can't say which factor is more important.
Yu Fan played with him for a while in his freshman year of high school, and saw that he liked to fight with people every day, so he gradually stopped hanging out with him.
"Not today." Yu Fan said, "I'm going back."
Zuo Kuan : "......?"
Yu Fan rubbed enough, hand into the pocket head without turning back to the school gate, walked two steps and then stopped.
He twisted his head around and gave Chen Jingshen a cold cross look, "And you ...... get your ass home."
Yu Fan washed his face when he got home.
He looked at the dampened hair on his forehead and wondered if it was time for a haircut. When this thing gets long, it's easy to get your hair caught in a fight, and you're immediately at a disadvantage ......
The cell phone resting on top of the sink vibrated, and Yu Fan rubbed his hand on the towel, picking it up to read it.
[s: I'm home.]
The next second, a Fanfan photo was sent.
Chen Jingshen grasped the leather collar around the dog's neck, the line between his wrists bulging slightly, and half forcibly woke up the poor sleeping dog for business.
Bother you, who wants to see your dog.
Yu Fan stares at the dog for a moment, then looks down at the hand tugging at the dog, only to lock the screen with a grimace when a message comes through from who knows who.
He stood in front of the mirror in silence, then reached over and unscrewed the faucet, rinsing his face once more.
-
On Monday, the sun came out at 7:30 am.
When Yu Fan arrived at school, the doors were closed and music was playing inside. He went around to the back door and climbed over the wall, escaping the flag-raising and going back to his classroom.
The classroom was empty.
Yu Fan, with his hands in his pockets, yawned as he returned to his seat, and after taking two steps, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something.
He stopped in front of the chalkboard and looked up.
A certain piece of award tape that their class had gotten at a sporting event had come off and one corner was hanging down, covering the name of the winner.
But Yu Fan didn't need to see it to know whose award it was.
Yu Fan twisted his head back to his seat, opened the window next to his own to let fresh air into the classroom that hadn't been opened in two days, and then fell headfirst onto his desk in preparation for sleep.
He slumped like a dead fish for a few minutes, tilted his head toward the window end, and slowly opened his eyes.
The next second, Yu Fan gets up from the table and goes to the podium drawer to get out the tape. Then he picks up his chair and walks backward, resting it in front of the blackboard with a thud.
He stepped onto the chair and reached down to flatten the corner where the award had fallen, revealing the words "Fellow Chen Jingshen" in large letters.
The first in the grade can't even post an award. It's useless.
Yu Fan ripped off the tape and applied several layers, then thought better of it and simply reinforced all the remaining corners with two layers.
As he handled the last corner, there were muffled footsteps outside the door.
Yu Fan still had one palm on the wall at the moment, attempting to hold the award down.
Before he could react, a tall and thin figure appeared at the back door of the classroom in the next second.
Yu Fan turned his head reflexively and was caught off guard when he collided with the owner of the award.
Chen Jingshen stood at the back door, his hands hanging naturally at his side. Perhaps it was because he had just finished listening to the school leader, his expression was a bit tired.
The two of them stared at each other motionlessly for a while, and Chen Jingshen suddenly moved his eyes away and looked at the place where his palm was pressed.
Yu Fan: "......"
For a moment, Yu Fan wanted to swallow the tape in his hand.
Yu Fan's face went from sleepy to stupefied, to blank, and finally with a bit of indifference that wanted to kill and kill.
But anyone with a strong desire to live knows that this is the moment to shut up and pretend to be blind.
Chen Jingshen asked, "What is being done?"
"Tear up the award." Yu Fan said.
Chen Jingshen, his wrists immobile against the back of his chair, half holding it up, asked, "Why did you tear it?"
Yu Fan : "I'm not happy to stick with second place."
Chen Jingshen took another look at the messy layers of tape.
Yu Fan and the wall confronted each other for a moment, and thought What the hell am I pulling ...... Or I should extinguish my mouth. Then I felt that the school pants were grabbed very lightly.
"I'll work on it next time." Chen Jingshen followed his words and asked, "Can you accommodate me this time?"
Yu Fan stood on the chair and looked at him with downcast eyes and stomped down the steps with a stinky face.
The flag raising ended earlier than ever before today, and dismissal came with about ten minutes to go before first period.
The students came back one after another, and as soon as they entered the classroom, they saw those two figures in the last group.
Yu Fan got down as soon as he returned to his seat.
He couldn't actually sleep, but he didn't really want to see Chen Jingshen's face right now.
Yu Fan was actually pretending quite well, his shoulder blades rising and falling slightly with his breathing, and most people thought he was asleep.
That's what Wu Cai thought when he came over.
So he had no qualms about standing next to Chen Jingshen's table, first glancing at the back of Yu Fan's head, then calling out in a low voice, "Scholar."
Chen Jingshen looked up at him.
"Class this is not immediately to adjust the seat once again it ...... I asked the class teacher, she said as long as you agree, you can move the two of us to a table. That what ...... I know other subjects certainly can't help you, but I every time the language composition is more than 48 points, the full score is not unheard of, I think in this regard I may still be able to give you a little bit of a little advice."
Wu Cai really wanted to sit with the school bully, so he tried his best to sell himself, "We've been at the same table before, and you know I never sleep and talk small in class, and I definitely won't bother you, so-"
Wu Cai's voice ended abruptly.
Because the head lying next to it moved.
Yu Fan looks up from his arm and gives Wu Cai an expressionless look; he's not yet healed from last week's injury, and with a band-aid on the corner of his mouth, he's a bit of a shocker.
Wu Cai was shocked and pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Student Yu, I don't mean anything else ...... If you don't want to change your seat then forget it ......"
"Who says I don't want to?" Yu Fan almost blurted out.
The next second, Yu Fan sat up and leaned back in his chair, and stiffly threw out another sentence, "It doesn't matter if you love to change."
Then why do you have such a mean look on your face ......
Wu Cai didn't dare say that out loud.
The classroom was noisy, Yu Fan turned his head to look out the window, somehow, suddenly felt a little itchy hands. I want to smoke.
Wu Cai : "That schoolboy ......"
"No change, ask someone else."
Yu Fan heard the person next to him respond coldly.
The fire that had suddenly come up suddenly disappeared.
The emotions that came and went made him feel a bit puzzled. There was a sudden tap on the table, followed closely by the bread being placed on his desk.
Wang Luan took a bite of the bread he was holding, "Yu Fan, you didn't have time for breakfast, did you? I just went to the cafeteria and bought one for you on the way."
"Thanks."
"By the way, let me tell you, the midterm exams are out." Wang Luan smiled smugly, "Visiting Qin just told me that I did well in the exams. You'll see, as soon as the results are sent out, I'll immediately go and mention changing places with Visit Qin!"
He did not forget to pat his benefactor on the back after he was pleased: "Schoolmaster, thanks to you this time, I'll definitely treat you to dinner some other day!"
Chen Jingshen: "No need."
"Is the school marking so fast?" Zhang Xianjing wondered, "But don't you both have to change seats if you do well?"
Wang Luan : "That's not the same, switching positions is fine, but I have to be the one to ask for it! Otherwise I'll lose face!"
"Indeed." Yu Fan said suddenly.
When Wang Luan said that, Yu Fan realized why he was so annoyed just now.
He has the same mentality towards Chen Jingshen that Wang Luan has towards the Disciplinary Committee.
It doesn't matter if they sit together or not, but Chen Jingshen can't go on his own and ask the teacher for a transfer ...... or be pried away.
Chen Jingshen swept him off his feet and didn't say anything.
Zhuang Fangqin walked into the classroom like a gust of wind.
"Hurry up and sit still, there are still ten minutes before class, I will briefly tell you about this midterm exam ...... Wang Luan You hurry up and eat." She frowned, "And how come certain students didn't go to raise the flag again?"
Certain students sat scattered, "Late."
In the old days, Yu Fan would have been on the blackboard by now.
But today, Zhuang Fangqin seems to have been extraordinarily good-natured.
"In the future, even if you are late, you have to come to the playground for me ...... No, you are not allowed to be late in the future!" Zhuang Fangqin cleared his throat, "Okay, back to the topic. This midterm exam, our class progressed ...... very much."
At the end of her sentence, she couldn't help but smile, wrinkles piling up at the corners of her eyes, but not ugly.
"Every student's score has more or less improved, and the average score of our class ranked eighth in the grade." She said as she opened the multimedia computer, the results table quickly appeared in the screen, "The first in the grade is still our Chen Jingshen classmate, other subjects all examined quite well, it's this language ...... composition still deducted quite a lot, wait, the language teacher is already preparing and your private conversation."
When they saw Chen Jingshen's grades in various subjects, everyone in the class couldn't help but look back.
As with the moment when the final grades for the previous semester were announced, the person in question pinched his pen and looked down, unconcerned about his score.
This is the big brother, isn't it. The crowd lamented in their hearts.
She slid down, "There's not much time, so I'll focus on praising the students who have made the most progress. Wang Luan, Hu Yuke, and Chen Xiaoxiao ...... Yu Fan."
Yu Fan was just thinking about how Chen Jingshen was pretending to be a pussy again when he heard his name and subconsciously raised his head.
"The total score was raised upwards by more than eighty points, especially in math, 9 points were raised to 49 points." Zhuang Fangqin looked at him with a slight smile, "Isn't this something you can learn?"
At the end of the first period, the subject teachers came over one by one and asked the class reps to pass out the test papers.
"Holy shit! Fuck me!" Wang Luan said, "Holy shit!"
Yu Fan tensed his expression, "...... have a disease to cure."
Wang Luan grabbed Yu Fan's math paper and scrutinized it carefully, "In less than two weeks, you can raise 40 points in math? Wasn't the math paper for your make-up exam quite difficult?"
Yu Fan pressed down the corners of his mouth and said with feigned disinterest, "Just studying--"
"You're so awesome, aren't you, Mr. Schoolmaster?" Zhang Xianjing is full of admiration, "Two weeks and you can put two pieces of mud on the wall!"
"......"
Who's rotten?
Yu Fan leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but glance to the side.
It's weird.
Chen Jingshen clearly did not have the same expression as he did just now when he found out that he was number one in his grade. However, Yu Fan could sense that the other party was a little bit happy at the moment.
Chen Jingshen faded, "It's not all because of me, they have talent."
"There's no need to say anymore, schoolmarm." Wang Luan said, "This time, the grades are at a level where my dad sees that he's going to be shoving money into my hand like crazy-this weekend, Yu Fan and I are hosting, and we're treating you to a day at Parade Street!"
Yu Fan: "?"
Who wants to go play with him?
What's the fun in taking a nerd like that out?
Zhang Xianjing was about to say that schoolboys don't have weekends, when Chen Jingshen inclined his head to ask his tablemate, "Really?"
Yu Fan: "......"
Yu Fan tucked his hands into his pockets, barely squeezing a hmmm from his throat.
Wang Luan : "Then it's a deal! I've got it all figured out, we'll go to lunch first, and then we'll find something to do in the afternoon, sing, watch a movie, or play a secret room. ......"
Yu Fan thought he was noisy and wanted to kick him out.
Chen Jingshen takes out a stack of papers in a white bag from his school bag and puts it on Yu Fan's desk.
Yu Fan froze and asked warily, "What is it?"
"The Gift of Exam Progress."
"Huh? No way school bully, he has me?" Wang Luan was unbalanced all of a sudden.
Seeing Yu Fan did not move, he sourly used his fingers to pick open that plastic bag, revealing what was inside, looking at it while saying, "Schoolboy you can't do this, how can you still be biased, how can you say that you have to send me--"
The plastic bag was taped to the paper surface, concealing the field grid on it.
"Word posters." Chen Jingshen asked, "You want it too?"
Wang Luan : "Thank you, no need. After I thought about it, you do have a better relationship with Yu Fan than you do with me, and it's only natural to be biased, I'm not aggrieved."
Yu Fan: "......"
He whipped his head around and asked, "What do you mean? Calling my writing ugly?"
Wang Luan was shocked and thought, "How can you ask that?
Chen Jingshen stated, "You were deducted five paper points for language."
"What's wrong with five points? I have 61 points for him to deduct."
"The maximum deduction for the roll is five points."
"......"
Wang Luan's hand was in arrears, and he flipped through the posters, "Hey, Yu Fan, the first one is actually the character "喻" in your name."
"I printed it myself." Chen Jingshen said, "Let's start with name practice."
Ke Ting listened for a long time and couldn't help but interject, "Haven't you been writing your name for years? Do you still need to practice?"
Zhang Xianjing drew a random test paper from Yu Fan's desk and held it up to show her classmate the name Yu Fan had written: "Look at it."
Ke Ting: "......"
Ke Ting : "It seems like ...... is something you can practice."
Yu Fan: "......"
Yu Fan gritted his teeth and prepared to shove the word post into Chen Jingshen's mouth.
"And this one prints itself? Really hey, the next character post is "Traditional"." Wang Luan turned the next page, "And the next one ...... Huh? Chen?"
He flipped again, "Jing."
He paused and flipped again, "...... deep?"
Zhang Xianjing, Ke Ting: "......"
Yu Fan: "......"
