Chapter 11
Proofreader: Akimi
Zhen Yuanbai immediately shook his head. “I can’t. My parents will scold me.”
He could already imagine Zhen Pingjin’s expression and tone when he finds out: you want to go to someone else’s home to do homework? What now? You can’t even do your homework at home anymore?
Shi Bufan said in regret, “How about I go to your house then?”
That’s even worse!
Zhen Yuanbai knew that his parents must’ve known about him standing outside of class with Shi Bufan by now. He was suspicious of Ji Yanping saying something to his parents, which is why they hadn’t mentioned it yet.
Shi Bufan felt even more regretful when he saw Zhen Yuanbai violently shaking his head. “You can’t come to my house, but I can’t go to yours either. How about we stay in school together?”
Zhen Yuanbai started to tug on Shi Bufan’s arm on his waist. He felt strange for being in a guy’s arms.
Shi Bufan’s clingy personality also felt strange to him, but he couldn’t explain how so. He replied, “Then let’s attend the evening study session tomorrow.”
Shi Bufan was satisfied right now and he stared at Zhen Yuanbai’s white and smooth face, having an impulsive to bite him. At this time, the door screeched and Ji Yanping walked out of the office.
Once she saw their position, her eyelids suddenly twitched. “Shi Bufan, what are you doing?”
The two students raised their heads and looked over; Zhen Yuanbai said, “Shi Bufan wants me to tutor him.”
Why is Shi Bufan’s arm on Zhen Yuanbai’s waist if he just wants him to tutor him? But Shi Bufan was shameless and acted casual. Even Zhen Yuanbai wasn’t anxious or anything. This made Ji Yanping feel as if she had over thought and thought that this was the way guys got along anyway. Therefore, she said, “Ok, quickly go eat. I heard that they changed the chef and the food is pretty good now.”
Zhen Yuanbai’s eyes brightened and tugged Shi Bufan towards the cafeteria.
While he and Shi Bufan finished grabbing lunch, Song Mo was already wolfing down his food. When he saw then, he immediately waved his hands and said, “The food today is delicious.”
Zhen Yuanbai took a few bites and agreed. At least, it was much better than the disgusting food from before. Shi Bufan pinched his earlobes and watched his mouth covered in oil, asking, “Is it that yummy?”
“You’ll find out after tasting it.”
Shi Bufan grabbed the cabbage in his plate with chopsticks and faintly said, “It’s ok.”
Zhen Yuanbai withdrew his chopstick and murmured in his heart: how come Shi Bufan is so unhygienic? He even started to eat from his chopsticks. But since Shi Bufan didn’t even mind him, he was embarrassed to voice his opinions. He poked around with his food and endured the peculiar feeling, continuing to eat.
“I’ll give you my food, ok?” Shi Bufan generously pushed his plate over, but Zhen Yuanbai hesitated. He slowly reached for the red braised pork in the plate.
At this time, Ye Lian suddenly said, “Brother Shi, what’s the matter? The elite student’s food is more delicious than yours?”
Qiu Jing immediately raised his head and reached for Zhen Yuanbai’s plate. “Let me have a taste!”
In the next second, Shi Bufan kicked his chair and Qiu Jing was taken by surprise. If it weren’t for Ming Mai who had held onto him, he would’ve fallen for sure. He said in confusion, “Brother Shi, what are you doing?!”
“It’s not enough for you to eat right?” Shi Bufan said, “Don’t worry, this brother will shove your head down a plate of food and let you eat enough!”
“...” How did I offend you?!
Zhen Yuanbai withdrew his hand from Shi Bufan’s plate. He was scared that if he took food from him, he might shove his head down a plate of food as well.
The change in chef within the cafeteria didn’t lead to much discussion. But for the past two days, everyone has been discussing avidly about what the principal was going to do. Surprisingly, Song Mo gained first-hand information and he asked, “What do you think the school is going to do?”
Zhen Yuanbai pondered for a while before asking, “Which wealthy businessmen had donated a research lab this time?”
Song Mo said excitedly, “It’s different this time. The wealthy businessman is down to earth and really understands the hardships of being students. He donated a new cafeteria for our school.”
This was the first time Zhen Yuanbai has heard this. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Who donated it?”
“I don’t know.” Song Mo said, “But someone guessed and said that it’s either a new student’s parent who wants to shove their children into the school or a noble student who can’t endure the disgusting food in the cafeteria. The person who donated a cafeteria and changed the person for the old cafeteria seems to be the same one.”
Zhen Yuanbai thought about it and then asked, “When will the new cafeteria be ready? Can we eat there?”
This was a truthful question and thankfully, Song Mo also cared about this. “I heard that the new cafeteria will be built next semester. That means, we can enjoy this for about a year or a half.”
Zhen Yuanbai was at ease now, eager for the new cafeteria and its food. He picked up his chopsticks and sighed with emotions. “There are all sorts of privileges hidden in this high school.”
Song Mo added, “I feel like being poor will limit one’s imagination more and more. How come people are so good at reincarnating into a wealthy woman’s womb? How nice would it be if I’m a wealthy second generation?”
He looked up eagerly and Zhen Yuanbai couldn’t help but grin. He also agreed, “Then let’s study and do our best to make sure our sons become wealthy second generations.”
Shi Bufan who was behind them strained his ears to listen, not interrupting until he heard their last statement. He reached over to tug on Zhen Yuanbai’s clothes, asking, “Who do you want to have a son with?”
Zhen Yuanbai turned around and looked at him like a r*tard. “It’s not time yet, so how would I know?”
Shi Bufan was dissatisfied with his response. He was about to continue when the teacher suddenly stepped into class on the dot just as the bell rang. Zhen Yuanbai immediately pushed his hands to the side and said, “Pay attention in class.”
Because Shi Bufan was too obedient, Zhen Yuanbai got into the habit of “ordering” him. After he finished telling him this, he faced the blackboard. However, Shi Bufan had an icy look and poked the notebook with his pencil, writing down a few words in bold and cursive. “What do you mean?”
The paper ball landed on Zhen Yuanbai’s desk.
When Zhen Yuanbai was in class, he was usually never curious about anything besides academics. He directly picked up the paper ball and placed it in his pencil case, ignoring Shi Bufan.
He told Shi Bufan about this already, not to pass notes in class and to talk after class. Therefore, he wasn’t worried either.
But the same can’t be said for Shi Bufan. He has no memory so anything Zhen Yuanbai said could easily make him sensitive. Now, he was hesitant and wondered if it was just one-sided this whole time. He felt confused and anxious when Zhen Yuanbai ignored him, so he passed another note. “Aren’t we dating?”
He crumpled the paper and threw it on Zhen Yuanbai’s desk again.
Zhen Yuanbai placed it along with the previous paper ball.
This was a math class and the teacher, Liang Xiude, was known for his strictness. He looked towards their direction and was a bit unhappy with Shi Bufan disturbing Zhen Yuanbai’s studies. However, since Zhen Yuanbai sat still and remained unmoved, Teacher Liang decided to turn a blind eye.
When Shi Bufan hadn’t gotten a response for his two paper balls, he sighed and endured the irritated mood inside his heart. He wrote another one and threw it over. “You better talk and explain everything to me after class.”
The third one was collected by Zhen Yuanbai as usual, placing it in the pencil case.
He still didn’t glance at Shi Bufan.
But in reality, Zhen Yuanbai was a bit ill at ease. He already told Shi Bufan that they would talk after class, so what made Shi Bufan disobedient to his words?
Shi Bufan didn’t know.
He pursed his lips and looked expressionlessly at the back of Zhen Yuanbai’s head, trying to piece some information from his limited memory. But there was nothing.
He got no answer.
This made him annoyed.
Zhen Yuanbai suddenly sat up straight; Shi Bufan was poking him. He knitted his eyebrows and had no option but to turn around and look at Shi Bufan. He asked in a soft voice, “What’s the matter?”
Shi Bufan looked coldly at him and pointed at the notes in his pencil case.
Zhen Yuanbai turned around and grabbed the paper balls, subconsciously looking at the math teacher. Hm? Where’s the teacher? He quickly searched around but he felt someone tugging on his hand. His pencil case along with the three paper balls were taken by the teacher. Liang Xiude stared coldly at Shi Bufan and said, “I don’t care if you have bad grades, but you shouldn’t disturb other students. Why are you passing notes in class? Can’t you say what you have to after class?”
There was a tint of anger in Shi Bufan’s eyes, but he endured this. “This has to do with me and Zhen Yuanbai.”
Liang Xiude sneered and said, “Classmate Zhen doesn’t even want to talk to you now.”
Shi Bufan went to look at Zhen Yuanbai while the latter’s face paled. He murmured, “We, we are in class...”
“Do you see this?” Liang Xiude scolded, “All good students know that class is in session right now. I can’t believe I even told Teacher Ji a few days ago that you’ve become a better student and we’re just waiting for you to surprise us with your exam grades next time. But guess what? You started to pass notes in class now! And you even disturbed Zhen Yuanbai! What you’re doing right now is destroying his future! Is that how you repay a favor?!”
Shi Bufan tightened his fist and held a stiff expression. Zhen Yuanbai leaned against the window and everyone held their breaths. Liang Xiude could tell that Shi Bufan was on the verge of exploding. To speak the truth, there was not a single teacher who wants to offend him; after all, he had even beat teachers up before. He reached over and crumpled the paper balls some more and placed the pencil case on Zhen Yuanbai’s desk. He softened his tone and said, “I’ll let it go this time and I’ll keep the paper balls for you guys right now. Pay attention in class and come after class to get it back.”
Shi Bufan suddenly kicked a desk and his desk-mate instinctively jumped up, dodging afar.
Liang Xiude instinctively looked back as well, only to see him kick his deskmate’s desk to the side, and walking out in large strides.
His eyelids twitched, only to see Shi Bufan stopping by the rigid Song Mo. He gazed intensely at Zhen Yuanbai whose face was pale white.
He licked his lips and when Song Mo believed he would’ve been thrown out, Shi Bufan said meaningfully to Liang Xiude, “Teacher, then please don’t look at our notes.”
He withdrew his glance from Zhen Yuanbai and smiled at Liang Xiude.
