Chapter 012: The Nervous Lan Yuxi:
Unable to argue with Qi Lin's rhetoric, Wang Cheng could only slip back to his seat dejectedly. Additionally, he wasn't sure if Qi Lin's words were intentional or not.
After all, in Wang Cheng's eyes, Qi Lin had always been a foolish, easily deceived rich kid. So, whatever he said couldn't be taken seriously.
"It must be a coincidence."
"Let it go. There's no need to argue with a rich second-generation idiot who lives off his family's wealth. I'll find some way to take advantage of him later."
Wang Cheng consoled himself silently.
Ding. Ding.
The class bell rang, and the morning study session began. However, it was strange that Lan Yuxi, who had gone to the staff room to hand out homework, arrived late halfway through.
"Class monitor, didn't you go to report me? Why are you back just now?"
Seeing Lan Yuxi walk lower her head, Qi Lin cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly.
His voice cut through the sound of self-study, drawing the whole class's attention to Lan Yuxi.
At this moment, Lan Yuxi had just finished copying the answers and returned. She entered the classroom quietly, hoping to avoid drawing any attention.
But now, with Qi Lin's loud shout, Lan Yuxi was startled. Her fair face turned pale in fear of being caught cheating.
"The teacher went to a meeting. I'll talk to him later in the next class."
Thinking about who the culprit was, Lan Yuxi gritted her teeth. Her beautiful eyes glared at Qi Lin.
"The teacher went to a meeting? Then, class monitor, why did you stay in the staff room for so long? Were you doing something unspeakable in there?"
Qi Lin's tone was mischievous and continued.
"Uh-huh!"
This time, Lan Yuxi's face turned truly pale. Qi Lin's tone seemed to imply that he knew what she had just done.
"Don't criticize others. I... I just thought the staff room was dirty, so I helped clean it."
Lan Yuxi stammered, but surprisingly, she found a suitable excuse.
Lan Yuxi ignored Qi Lin and hurried back to her seat, fearing he might say something outrageous again.
"Yuxi, you..."
Seeing his beloved being bullied by Qi Lin, Wang Cheng felt a pang of heartache and wanted to comfort her.
"Don't talk to me, just focus on studying!"
Biting her lip, Lan Yuxi kept her eyes on her textbook. Her heart was in turmoil at this moment, and she felt nervous when anyone talked to her.
"Damn stupid Qi Lin, can't you just shut up?"
"Who was the idiot who let this trash into the school in the first place?"
Wang Cheng cursed angrily again, glancing in Qi Lin's direction.
At this time, while other students were all engaged in self-study, Qi Lin leaned back in his chair, covered his head with a book, and fell asleep.
Seeing this scene, Wang Cheng felt another sense of injustice.
"The heavens must be blind to let such a waste be born into a good family."
...
At the end of the morning self-study class, Qi Lin made a long throw, and the empty soda bottle landed accurately in the trash can.
"I must say, drinks paid for by others taste better."
Qi Lin licked his lips as if he was savoring something.
"The semester exams are about to begin. No one can go to the restroom for the next two hours or engage in non-exam-related activities. If you need to use the restroom or buy water, do it now or during the break."
After reminding the students, the class teacher, Mei Sanyuan, a middle-aged man in his fifties, pushed up his glasses and walked into the classroom solemnly, as usual.
Mei Sanyuan was a national gold medal teacher, was very serious and responsible for his students, and treated everyone equally.
He also attempted to improve Qi Lin's grades in his past life. Unfortunately, the past Qi Lin was completely indifferent to studying at that time. In the end, he only scored one or two hundred points in the college entrance exam, and his father had to pay his way into a private elite university.
For Mei Sanyuan, who had taught for a lifetime and produced numerous top scorers, failing to teach such a student was a lifelong disgrace.
After reminding the students, Mei Sanyuan headed to the staff room to prepare the exam papers.
"I've finished my water. I'll go buy a few more bottles."
After the class teacher left, Qi Lin stretched lazily and glanced at Wang Cheng. His words seemed deliberately directed at Wang Cheng. Like always, when Qi Lin went to the cafeteria after class to buy snacks and water, Wang Cheng followed like a shadow.
The reason was none other than using their friendship and moral kidnapping to get Qi Lin to treat him to food and drinks.
In Qi Lin's past life, he was deeply moved that Wang Cheng was the only one willing to befriend him in class, so he naturally agreed to his requests.
Now, Wang Cheng had just been tricked by Qi Lin, losing 44 yuan. Qi Lin didn't believe Wang Cheng wasn't going to recoup his losses.
Sure enough, as Qi Lin got up, Wang Cheng had already appeared by his side.
"I also want to go to the cafeteria. Qi Lin, let's go together?"
Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay"
Qi Lin agreed with a smile.
Under the gaze of their classmates, the two walked toward the cafeteria.
In 2002, high school students generally didn't have much pocket money. Most students brought water bottles from home to drink at school, and few went to the cafeteria to buy water.
In fact, many students secretly envied Qi Lin, the rich second-generation, and Wang Cheng, who was willing to befriend him and enjoy his benefits. But they couldn't lower their dignity by befriending someone with a bad grade like Qi Lin.
