Chapter 418: Chapter 295 He Doesn’t Care at All
Huang Zhongfei fell silent, and so did Yu Wen.
This scene just happened to be witnessed by Cui Yu, who nearly died laughing before dashing off to spread the word.
Huang Zhongfei let out an awkward chuckle and reminded her,
"Don’t leave the straw in your nose for too long, remember to take it out."
Yu Wen put on a smile uglier than crying, and she yanked the straw out in one pull.
Thinking about the stupid thing she had just done, she wished she could slap herself.
Angrily, she slapped her milk tea down on the table, but she used so much force that the fragile cup actually burst apart.
The milk tea burst out and splattered all over Huang Zhongfei...
Yu Wen asked to leave the evening self-study session and go home early.
Allegedly, the reason was stomach cramps, but those in the know understood that it wasn’t her stomach that ached, but her loss of face.
Cui Yu went out of his way to proclaim Yu Wen’s glorious act.
Yu Wen had already become a laughingstock in class recently.
Now, what was the big deal with her nostrils being poked at again?
Thus, it caused only a minor stir before people started discussing other matters.
Seizing the chance before class began, Cui Yu headed to the back row to play, twisting his face in confusion,
"Brother Ma, I respect the fact that Bai Yuxia can perform for the school anniversary, but I just can’t understand why Pang Jiao and her group can?"
"Are the teachers auditing the program dumbasses? What if famous alumni see it? Wouldn’t they be scared off?"
Ma Shicheng put down his phone, "What kind of performance did Pang Jiao and her group prepare?"
Cui Yu looked around, especially careful about Pang Jiao and the others indulging in fried skewers upfront, and then, like a spy, he spilled the beans:
"I went to check it out the other day. They were practicing dance in the dance studio of building 5."
Guo Kunnan was puzzled, "Our school has a dance studio?"
Cui Yu asked, "You didn’t know?"
Guo Kunnan honestly didn’t, "I’ve never been to such a fancy place."
Cui Yu sighed, "I used to think it was fancy too until I went there that day. The entire dance studio had been taken over by Pang Jiao and Zhang Yifei."
"And since then, that place was no longer the sanctuary I held dear in my heart."
If one would call Bai Yuxia’s dance enchanting, then, according to Cui Yu, the dance by Pang Jiao and the others could only be described as shocking!
That unparalleled shock still sent chills down his spine whenever he thought about it.
Guo Kunnan asked, "Is it really as tragic as you say?"
Cui Yu replied, "It’s a blow to the psyche."
Guo Kunnan: "Worse than CPR?"
Cui Yu thought back to Shen Xinli from the neighboring class, as well as the picture that circulated in the cafeteria the day before yesterday.
"Well, not quite."
"Stop talking about their dance. What I’m really curious about is why they passed the audit; it shouldn’t be like this!"
Cui Yu was utterly baffled.
Wang Longlong, who had been listening for a while, said, "I saw a rumor on an online forum the day before yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but apparently, one of the teachers auditing the anniversary program is Gao Heshuai."
With a strange expression, Guo Kunnan said, "If you put it that way, I kind of understand. Gao Heshuai is certainly capable of doing such a thing."
Ma Shicheng commented, "It feels like there’s some mystery here; Pang Jiao passing the audit shouldn’t be something a young teacher could decide."
Wang Longlong said, "I don’t know the specifics."
Ma Shicheng: "Let’s wait and see how things unfold."
First Year Experimental Class 1.
Compared to the noisy Class 8, Class 1 was exceptionally quiet. The students were quietly studying at their seats, with very few of them even discussing problems.
In the hallway outside the door, Lin Zida was moving a chair out. He sat on the chair, holding his newly bought 3DS LL and playing games.
His 3DS had been stolen previously, and despite investigating fingerprints in the desk’s compartment, he failed to catch the culprit.
Lin Zida, who was usually all smiles and jokes, experienced real anger.
He had never felt so frustrated back in An City.
If his old friends knew about this, he dreaded they’d laugh themselves to death.
Lin Zida was reminded of these sad memories when he looked up at the rain curtains outside:
"When will this crappy weather clear up?"
He rubbed his eyes and continued to play his game.
Suddenly, a simple and honest voice came from behind him:
"Is this a 3DS LL game?"
Oh, someone actually recognized a 3DS LL. This piqued Lin Zida’s interest.
He turned his head and saw a down-to-earth male classmate.
The male classmate wore the school uniform and a pair of waterproof leather shoes, and his face was adorned with a simple smile, giving one the impression of a kid who grew up in the countryside.
Lin Zida showed off his gaming device: "This is the 3dsll."
Dan Xiao said, "It’s good, but it doesn’t feel as refined as the 3ds, lacking that delicate touch because the 3ds used a lacquering process on its surface."
Lin Zida was surprised: "You know quite a bit; it definitely is a lacquering process because I used to have a 3ds."
Talking about this, Lin Zida angrily said, "But my 3ds was stolen by someone, and all the saved data is gone!"
Dan Xiao, hearing this, shared the outrage and indignantly said,
"How can someone steal like that, even if you are poor, you can’t just steal other people’s things!"
Lin Zida motioned with his hand: "Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about these upsetting matters."
"Do you play the 3ds?" Not many people at Fourth Middle School played the 3ds; none in their class, but there were a few in Class 8.
Jiang Ning, Wang Yong, and this simple-looking boy in front of him seemed to play as well.
Dan Xiao scratched his head: "I’m quite interested, and I plan to buy one."
Lin Zida was more mature than his peers, but when he saw someone talking about something he was interested in, he couldn’t contain his excitement.
"Let me tell you, if you’re buying a 3ds, definitely go for the 3dsll because it has a larger screen and it’s more comfortable to look at." He shared his personal experience.
Dan Xiao replied: "I’ll have someone gift it to me when the time comes."
Lin Zida was surprised: "Your friend’s quite nice, to just gift a 3ds gaming console."
Dan Xiao said earnestly: "I have plenty of friends."
"Do you play with the original version of the game?" he inquired.
Lin Zida responded, "Of course, I play the original version. Not to boast, but I’ve bought all the first-party game cartridges."
Dan Xiao praised: "Amazing, really amazing!"
The original game cartridges are expensive, costing two to three hundred per cartridge, and they are easy to sell.
Lin Zida: "I’ll bring it next time, to open your eyes."
Dan Xiao seriously said: "Rest assured, I’ll definitely come to look."
...
Ding Shuyan was reading a book quietly in the classroom, just sitting there, but her demeanor exuded an indescribable grace and elegance.
By her side was a white tissue paper, on which lay some peeled oranges.
As Ding Shuyan read her book, she occasionally picked up a small orange segment, putting it into her mouth with a gentle suck.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration in the area of her thigh under the desk.
Ding Shuyan took out her phone and realized it was a call from her aunt, Lin Han.
So she left the room.
Reaching the corridor, Ding Shuyan glanced at Lin Zida, then answered the phone.
"Aunt, what’s up?"
"Skip the last period of self-study tonight; I’ll take you to meet someone," Lin Han’s mature voice came through the phone.
Ding Shuyan: "Is it important?"
Lin Han: "Yes, very important."
"I’ll have someone pick you up from school later."
"I’ll ask for leave," Ding Shuyan said, realizing that someone deemed very important by her aunt could only be one of a few people in the entire Yuzhou City.
Ding Shuyan gazed out at the falling rain, guessing who she might be meeting tonight.
...
"Jiang Ning, aren’t you going to practice?" his sister, Chen Siqing, asked him.
"Practice what?"
Chen Siqing: "For the sports competition. It’ll be tough to win a prize without practice!"
Last night, her dorm had talked about the school’s sports students.
They learned that there was an athlete in the second year named Tao Nian who was especially good at sprinting and who had practically claimed the championship for the sports meeting in advance.
Jiang Ning said, "Let nature take its course. I’m not too concerned about winning prizes."
Xue Yuantong adjusted his posture: "Indeed, it’s like my exams, just let it be."
Chen Siqing was speechless: ’Are you really not pretending?’
Bai Yuxia heard their conversation and said, "Sports students are formidable, many of them are level Athletes, and some are not far off from level Athletes."
"Getting practiced will help your performance in the competition."
Xue Yuantong spoke for Jiang Ning: "No worries, Jiang Ning is super strong."
She had experienced firsthand Jiang Ning’s physical fitness; he could make a bicycle fly. What was a sports meeting to him!
Bai Yuxia, seeing Jiang Ning make no comment, felt helpless.
Did he not realize how terrifying sports students could be?
Or did he just casually sign up for the sports meeting?
