My Mate Makes Me Hate Studies Chapter 10

I had no control over this for half of the class.

Jarvin Wen opened his eyes, but his consciousness was not fully awake. He heard the voice of the Chinese teacher in his ears, "'The people think of his virtue, so a temple is built in Anyang Pavilion West'. My classmate, what you just drank was mineral water, not red wine that costs one thousand yuan a bottle, so can you not act tipsy?"

"Let's continue. 'Every---' These two students, are you carrying out an activity to build good neighborliness and friendly exchanges?"

Jarvin Wen felt a tightness in his chest and didn't react until he heard Adrian Chi's voice, "Teacher, what you see now is all an illusion."

The Chinese teacher raised her eyebrows and said, "You guys are holding your hands so tightly, it can't be an illusion."

It was then that Jarvin Wen realized that he was gripping Adrian Chi's right wrist tightly, almost turning it blue.

Jarvin Wen froze.

The Chinese teacher wasn't really angry. On the one hand, she herself felt sleepy while talking about classical Chinese. On the other hand, although Adrian Chi was absent from class all day, he was not a jerk or annoying. Except for not studying, everything else was good. Jarvin Wen had been studying quietly since he transferred here, and his impression score was very high.

So she thought of a solution, "Since you two are so friendly and hold hands during class, don't let go of each other's hands. Hold them and let go when the bell rings."

Jarvin Wen: ...

Ikeno: ...

When the Chinese teacher returned to the podium, Jarvin Wen spoke first, "I'm sorry."

Ikeno: "No need."

The fact that one person was holding another person's wrist, coupled with the occasional glances coming this way from all around, made Adrian Chi feel that this development was Fcuking magical. He should have struggled when Jarvin Wen first came to hold his wrist!

But this is the first time in seventeen years that I have held someone's wrist like this, other than Lily.

He cleared his throat and tried to find something to ease the strange atmosphere. "What kind of dream are you having? Your hand is so strong that my bones are almost broken."

Jarvin Wen didn't answer, and said "sorry" again. He looked at Adrian Chi's hand and asked, "Are your fingertips numb?"

Adrian Chi has been unable to control himself for so long, "I'm already numb."

After thinking for a while, Jarvin Wen suggested, "How about you hold my wrist instead?"

Thinking that this suggestion was reliable, Adrian Chi and others let go of Jarvin Wen's hand, moved their fingers twice, and then clenched it.

As soon as he tightened his fingers, he made a "tsk" sound, "You're so fragile. Your wrist is too thin."

Jarvin Wen replied coldly, "I can hold a plastic water pipe in one hand and make you lie on the ground with serious injuries in one minute."

... Ikeno instantly remembered the lethality of his deskmate and tried to save him, "So, this doesn't mean that you can't judge a person by his appearance."

Jarvin Wen said "hmm", which meant he accepted this statement.

Adrian Chi held the thin white wrist and didn't dare to move, thinking of the time when Li Pei came to you and bowed to apologize during the morning self-study class. "By the way, Li Pei is not a good guy. He came to you to apologize despite his injuries, just to set you up."

Jarvin Wen knew clearly that Adrian Chi had admitted the incident and completely cleared him out, "I owe you another one."

Adrian Chi curled his lips casually, "It's a small matter, easy to talk about."

After searching his mind for a while, he couldn't come up with a topic. As for hoping that Jarvin Wen would find a topic, forget it. It would be better to hope that the dean of studies would not squat at the school gate to catch people.

Every second seemed like an eternity, and when the bell finally rang, Ikeno let go of his hand as if relieved.

Liam Zhao and Connor Shangguan in front of them turned their heads at the same time, "Damn, this is exciting! But, you two actually stayed together for a whole class?"

Adrian Chi leaned back in his chair, "Or?"

Connor Shangguan continued, his eyes sympathetic: "Actually, if you put your hands under the desk and don't hold hands, the Chinese teacher won't be able to see it when he stands on the podium."

After hearing this, Adrian Chi turned his head and happened to meet Jarvin Wen's eyes. He uttered a word, "Fcuk."

During the morning break, all the students were spread out on the playground like black and white chess. The principal took the microphone and spoke in person, announcing the discovery of an ancient tomb in the northeast corner of the playground and warning all the students not to approach that area.

Some people were surprised, "It's actually Wang Zhongming's cenotaph? We have memorized this literary knowledge, a writer, thinker, educator, and pioneer of science. I have a feeling that we will be tested on this knowledge point at the end of the semester!"

Ikeno looked at his deskmate standing next to him, "So they are doing radio gymnastics on the cenotaph."

Liam Zhao was like a wind-hearing man, "What's that?"

Jarvin Wen stood tall and straight, "Nothing."

Not long after they returned to the classroom, Dylan Xu rushed in, "Report! Latest news from the front line!"

Seeing that the whole class's attention was focused on him, Dylan Xu was satisfied.

Someone urged, "What's the new news?"

"I'm just organizing my words!" Dylan Xu coughed twice. "The latest news is that in the northeast corner of the playground there is not only a cenotaph, but also a tomb for burial companions. It is speculated that it is the tomb of Mr. Wang Zhongming's disciples. That area has been cordoned off in a very large area, with warning strips and blue isolation boards erected. No one is allowed to approach."

"Anything else?"

Dylan Xu: "Of course! When the experts came, they took away everything that was of research value."

Someone asked, "Why are they surrounding it so tightly and not allowing us to get close?"

"I'm afraid you're too timid and get too close to the maze, hahaha!"

I am about to turn from the second year of high school to the third year, and the pressure is getting greater and greater. Any little thing can make me excited for a long time.

In the next two days, Dylan Xu was constantly informed of various gossips. Sometimes the expert group came and left, sometimes the school was on TV, and sometimes after evening self-study, a couple was secretly dating in the playground and saw a white shadow floating out from the northeast corner, accompanied by crying.

After Dylan Xu reported the news, he wondered, "Is there crying? Could it be that Wang Zhongming gave his students too much homework?"

"I think you have too little homework!" As soon as the head teacher Samuel Xu entered the classroom, he kicked Dylan Xu, who was standing next to the desk, down. "You can pay attention to the progress of the incident, but don't have any bad thoughts. I emphasize that none of you are allowed to approach the northeast corner! You are not allowed to stay on campus during evening self-study! Do you remember everything?"

The whole classroom was filled with perfunctory voices: "I remember."

Samuel Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's take a look at the math homework you handed in this morning. Alas, the accuracy rate is terrible! Fortunately, I only need to serve you for another year and a half, otherwise my hair will not be able to be saved..."

During evening study, Samuel Xu took the math class representatives to the office to mark homework. The classroom was relatively quiet for the first three minutes, but then, with no one watching, it was as if there was firewood under the floor, and bubbles began to rise little by little.

Dylan Xu squatted on the ground, walked forward like a crab, and finally stopped beside Liam Zhao's desk. "There is a top-secret operation inviting you to join. Do you want to accept this invitation?"

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of soft three-layer tissue paper with the words "Invitation" written on it.

Liam Zhao was amused by the invitation letter. "How shabby! Okay, okay, what action? Tell me about it?"

Dylan Xu pretended to be mysterious and asked Connor Shangguan again, "Your Majesty, do you want this invitation?"

Connor Shangguan had a good relationship with Liam Zhao. Seeing that Liam Zhao had accepted it, he also reached out to take it, "I approve."

After the invitation was sent out, Dylan Xu lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "This top-secret operation is a late-night expedition!"

Liam Zhao: "Damn, we are thinking the same thing! Let's go, this action is exciting!"

Studying is boring in itself, but the principal and the head teacher repeatedly stressed that we must not go near the northeast corner of the playground. Instead of suppressing our curiosity, it aroused our rebellious heart.

"Oliver Lao wouldn't let us go, but we still want to go and see. Maybe what the couple said is true, and there really are ghosts crying at night!"

Dylan Xu nodded repeatedly, "I knew you two must be of the same mind!"

The two looked at each other and chuckled twice, then Liam Zhao asked Dylan Xu, "Who else is participating in the operation?"

"Just you and me, Connor Shangguan, and Brother Chi as the finale."

"Brother Chi?" Liam Zhao wondered, "Didn't Brother Chi disappear during the afternoon break?"

Dylan Xu: "I asked him on the phone. Chi Ge was not interested at first, but later I said I would give him 2,000 yuan for his appearance. After hesitating, he agreed. With Chi Ge there, even if there are ghosts, they will definitely be blocked by the evil spirit and cannot get close to him!"

"How can you be like this?" Liam Zhao looked at Dylan Xu, "I can't believe you, the student council member, are carrying such a huge sum of money!"

Dylan Xu frowned, "What huge sum? That's the New Year's money I got. Now I have given it all to Brother Chi."

Thinking of something, Liam Zhao turned his head and asked Jarvin Wen behind him, "Do you want to join us in this late night adventure?"

Jarvin Wen is writing a physics test paper. Two words: "No addition."

Dylan Xu said, "Brother Chi has already said that Jarvin Wen will definitely refuse. Jarvin Wen is weak and in poor health, so he will definitely not go. If he goes and gets blown by the cold wind, it will be bad if he falls ill."

Jarvin Wen held the pen in his hand, and the tip of the pen poked on the test paper, making a deep dot.

Liam Zhao thought about it and said, "That's right, then it's the four of us, it's settled!"

When the bell rang, Liam Zhao called his family and told them that he was going to Connor Shangguan's house to do his homework. Connor Shangguan called and said that he would go to Liam Zhao's house in the evening to study the test paper. After hanging up the phone, the two began to pack their bags slowly to delay time.

Jarvin Wen finished the last math problem, closed the pen cap, and told Dylan Xu, "I'll join you."

Dylan Xu was at a loss: Didn’t you just say you couldn’t go?

The four of them left the school only after all the lights in the classrooms were turned off. They circled the wall from outside and finally stopped at the northeast corner of the playground.

The wind was still a little cold. Jarvin Wen stood on the street with a black schoolbag hanging on one shoulder and his hands in his pockets. He suddenly couldn't understand why he wanted to join in the "adventure".

After his deskmate started to behave abnormally, he might have been infected as well.

Connor Shangguan looked at the height of the wall and said, "This is more difficult than taking out the cheat sheets to copy during the monthly exam without being discovered."

Dylan Xu rubbed his hands in the cold wind and said, "Shakespeare once said that a hero's life begins with challenges and attempts! Lu Xun also said that we are all warriors, and warriors are not afraid of any difficulties, including swords and walls!"

Liam Zhao was a man of action, and he rubbed his hands, "You guys stand aside, I'll give it a try!"

After saying that, he threw his schoolbag to Connor Shangguan, took a running start, stepped on the wall, grabbed the hollow steel bars with his hands, and jumped up like a monkey. When he climbed over the other side of the wall, Liam Zhao hadn't reacted yet, "I'm in now?"

Connor Shangguan threw his schoolbag in, and before climbing up the wall, he said to Dylan Xu, "Shakespeare and Lu Xun are both right!"

Ikeno arrived late, the student council members had already gone in before he arrived.

Jarvin Wen asked him, "Where is Lily?"

Ikeno: "I took her out for a run, and then she fell asleep on the bed when I got home."

Jarvin Wen: ...

Glancing at the fence, Adrian Chi asked, "You first or me?"

"you."

The five people arrived at the northeast corner of the playground. It was dark and the wind was cold.

Xu Ruidong looked around excitedly, "Tomorrow when I tell my classmates about our adventure, we will definitely be on the gossip headlines and become the legend of Mingnan High School! Maybe in three to five years, the high school will still have our legend!"

Liam Zhao found a place to stand in a serious manner, "Don't move, let me perform a ritual first! I learned the Qingyang Temple Exorcism Mantra during evening self-study! Otherwise, you would think that I'm called a 'master' for nothing."

Seeing Liam Zhao gesturing, Jarvin Wen stood at the edge and asked Adrian Chi, "Why did you decide to come here?"

Adrian Chi said frankly, "For money."

After Liam Zhao finished demonstrating, five people picked up the yellow line that formed a circle and went in.

Dylan Xu was well prepared, he took out a flashlight and waved it left and right. After shaking it twice, he got scared again, "I'm the only one holding the flashlight, will the ghosts target me?"

Connor Shangguan: "It depends on whether it's a male or female ghost. If it's a female ghost, she will definitely not stare at you, but at Chi Ge and Jarvin Wen."

"That makes sense." Dylan Xu turned on the flashlight again, took two steps inside, and then stopped where he was, "I can't do it anymore, my legs are weak!"

Liam Zhao rolled his eyes. "You organized the expedition, why are you so scared when we got there?"

Dylan Xu had no idea that this place was so scary. The wind blew over, making a "hissing" sound, and he almost had his heart jump out of his chest.

Ikeno thought that he had taken the money after all, "The wind blew the blue baffle. You guys follow me."

After saying that, Adrian Chi walked forward, Jarvin Wen followed, and Liam Zhao and Connor Shangguan also hurriedly followed.

Dylan Xu held a flashlight, hesitating between following and standing still to enjoy the breeze - standing still was a good option, since he already had enough information to brag about tomorrow.

Ikeno raised his voice slightly, "The ghost will come soon---"

Before he could finish his words, Dylan Xu rushed behind Connor Shangguan as if he was being chased by a dog, closed his eyes and shouted, "Go!"

After walking a little further, Adrian Chi lowered his voice and asked Jarvin Wen, "Classmate, are you scared?"

Jarvin Wen glanced at him, "Are you afraid?"

Adrian Chi laughed softly, "I'm worried that you'll be scared."

Jarvin Wen took half a step forward and walked beside him, rubbing his shoulder against his as a reply.

The front and back rows of the team are not the same style.

Dylan Xu felt like there was a ghost staring at him from all directions, and he regretted why he came here. Wouldn't it be fun to go home and do the test papers at this time? Wouldn't it be fun to recite the lessons? Wouldn't it be fun to be scolded by his mother?

After taking two more steps, Dylan Xu suddenly grabbed Connor Shangguan's clothes and said, "Chi...Brother Chi, did you hear any sound?

Adrian Chi stopped and asked Jarvin Wen, "Did you hear it?"

Jarvin Wen nodded, "Footsteps, two people."

Liam Zhao swallowed his saliva, "No way, could it be that the two apprentices of Mr. Wang Zhongming came out to play in the middle of the night?"

Dylan Xu sat down on the ground, not caring that the ground was covered with mud, and tremblingly muttered, "I have memorized the literary knowledge seriously, and I have never made a mistake in the order of thinker, educator, and writer! Don't come after me! I was wrong and I shouldn't have come to disturb your peace..."

Jarvin Wen asked quietly, "Is he...acting?"

Ikeno explained to his deskmate, "No, this is a true expression of my feelings."

Jarvin Wen: ...

Adrian Chi didn't have that much patience, so he stood there and interrupted Dylan Xu, "Should we continue to walk inside the yellow line, or should we disperse right here?"

Dylan Xu was really in tears, "Why don't we just disband right here..."

Liam Zhao was not a coward at first, but Dylan Xu's crying made his scalp numb. "Yes, how about... we go home and do the homework?"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the ground approaching quickly, followed by a cry of "There's a ghost---"

Dylan Xu stood up and ran away with Liam Zhao and Connor Shangguan, shouting "There's a ghost!"

Then, another voice, with a level of fear several times higher, was heard even more shrilly, "There really is a ghost---"

Jarvin Wen stood still, and Adrian Chi grabbed his deskmate's wrist, "Don't be impulsive, don't do it!"

Jarvin Wen looked at him as if he was a fool.

Adrian Chi explained, "I'm just afraid that you might provoke me and come forward to kick me without saying anything."

Jarvin Wen lowered his head and glanced at Adrian Chi's leg which had taken half a step forward.

Adrian Chi changed the subject, "How far did you say they ran?"

Jarvin Wen estimated, "It's about to run around the playground track."

Sure enough, not long after, Dylan Xu was seen leading the way, leading Liam Zhao and Connor Shangguan to run wildly. Dylan Xu had always passed the physical education exam every semester, but this time he managed to surpass everyone.

Jarvin Wen's eyes fell on the two people who were some distance behind, "The one running last, seems to be from our class?"

Dylan Xu's lungs were filled with cold wind, and he could not run any longer. "Take me to the underworld. I really can't run any more! If I run any more, I will have to go to the underworld first..."

Before he finished yelling, someone suddenly crashed into him from behind and they both fell onto the plastic track. Dylan Xu shone the flashlight into the man's face with shaking hands, "...Why are you here?"

"why you!"

At this moment, a strong flashlight shone from afar, "Who! Who's there!"

Under the street light.

The security guard checked the people one by one. "It was late at night, and we thought they were tomb robbers."

There was a hint of disappointment in his words.

Dylan Xu continued, "We didn't expect that there would be people patrolling the school in the middle of the night."

The security guard's flashlight fell on the feet of Jarvin Wen and the others, "Tell me, why are you not going home so late at night?"

Dylan Xu: "Review literary knowledge."

The security guard paused for two seconds and pointed the flashlight at another group of people, "What about you?"

Brandon Li was very honest, "My classmates all say that I am timid, so I came here today to practice my courage."

Jarvin Wen barely had an impression of this person - on the first day he transferred to the school, Oliver Lao asked Brandon Li to switch seats and sit at the same table with Adrian Chi, but Brandon Li refused.

The security guard had been at the affiliated middle school for 10 to 20 years and had seen all kinds of big scenes. He waved his hand and said, "Come with me to the duty room and register your student ID and name. I will report it to your class teacher tomorrow, and then you can go home."

After coming out of the school, several people stood on the roadside, feeling like they had failed.

Dylan Xu sighed, "It's over. I will definitely be punished to write a self-criticism tomorrow!"

Liam Zhao also sighed: "8,000 words is the starting point, there is no upper limit, miserable."

Dylan Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chi's self-criticism... I'll write it for you! I paid you to ward off evil spirits in the first place."

After that, he waited for Ikeno to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Ikeno had no intention of refusing: "Okay, go for it."

Jarvin Wen looked at Adrian Chi.

Being stared at by these eyes, Ikeno felt guilty, which was rare for him.

This teammate was forced to come by himself. He hesitated and said, "Eight thousand divided into four thousand for me, each of us write half, no more!"
