Yes Si ate too much for dinner. When he left the cafeteria, he felt like he was holding his stomach full. If he didn't, he would have gastroptosis.

"Are you two crazy?" Yess said angrily, "A chicken leg here and an egg tart there, are you trying to feed me to death?"

"You eat whatever you feed yourself like a pig, and you blame us." Ben Song said with a spit, "I'm not even full."

"I'm not full either." Caleb Wu fell into a sleepy state again. "I feel very sleepy when I'm not full. I'm going to sleep after the evening study. I hope Hu Xiujie won't come to catch me."

The dinner time at Yingzhong is from five to six o'clock. The three of them ate in the cafeteria until five-fifty. Yes was too full and walked too slowly. When he arrived at the classroom door, the bell just rang.

He leaned against the two tables at the back door and jumped into his seat. David He had not returned yet.

The head teacher, Lao Qin, stood on the podium with a serious expression, "Today is my evening self-study. The papers have been distributed. Everyone, please take a look at the papers tonight. If you have any questions, you can come up and ask me, but you are not allowed to talk."

Everyone was flipping through the papers. Ye Si turned around and found Ben Song holding his first paper with an expression of disbelief. Three big red crosses were visible on the back of the paper. Ye Si tried hard to hold back his laughter and lay down on the table.

Lao Qin continued, "The warm-up test results are out. Although we haven't been divided into classes yet, your senior year has officially begun. Everyone should concentrate. I won't emphasize the discipline of self-study. Just one thing: why do some students always have to wait until the bell rings before reluctantly returning to class? Can staying outside for ten more seconds help you taste the sweetness of freedom?"

Everyone laughed, but Ye Si didn't laugh. He glanced at the empty seat next to him and wanted to send a message to David He to ask him where he was, but then he suddenly realized that he didn't have any friends with David He.

He searched the class group for a long time before he found David He's account. His nickname was his real name. David He had never spoken in the class group, so it was the first time that Ye Si saw his profile picture.

It is a little man in European and American cartoon style, wearing khaki clothes and pants, a pair of Martin boots, a longbow on his back, and a bunch of arrows in a small leather basket tied to his belt.

He is quite handsome, but other than that he has no similarities with David He.

Ye Si began to doubt whether this person was David He, so he sent a friend request tentatively, leaving a message saying, "Your deskmate."

[You are already David He's friend! Let's start chatting now! ]

Added it.

Ye Si glanced at Lao Qin who was emphasizing discipline on the podium, then quickly lowered his head and typed a line of words.

"Where are you?"

David He replied, "Just arrived."

arrive?

Yes Si put down his phone and suddenly felt a faint scent of peach outside the open back door. He tilted his head and saw a corner of a white shirt blown by the wind beside the door frame.

The first thought that came to his mind was not that the academic genius was hiding outside the door, but that this guy was secretly eating candy behind his back.

This is really too much. There is no respect for the friendship between classmates.

Lao Qin was talking about discipline with great emotion. He picked up a piece of chalk and turned around to write the four characters "Senior Year is Coming" on the blackboard. While he was writing, David He quietly came from the back door and sat on the stool, then put his legs under the table, all in one go.

But the wind blew the back door, causing it to creak. Lao Qin turned around and looked at David He.

Yes Si didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually felt a little nervous. Normally, he never got nervous when he was 35 minutes late for a 40-minute class.

Lao Qin frowned and asked, "Have you always been in this classroom?"

David He replied calmly, "Of course."

The man with a righteous expression, as if he had been sitting here since before the beginning of time, and had never left even during earthquakes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, or the end of the world.

Yes was simply astounded by such shameless spirit.

Lao Qin was quite sure that the space was empty, but now he was doubting himself, so he asked, "What did I say?"

"Discipline." David He replied, "You should concentrate when you start your senior year. Don't talk during self-study and don't be late."

Alex's phone vibrated, and Ben Song sent a row of question marks, "You two work together so well, don't you?"

Alex replied quietly on his phone, "No cooperation."

He paused and added, "I wanted to cooperate, but he took all my words away."

Lao Qin sighed, "My eyes are tired from marking papers. Okay, everyone, study on your own."

"Oh, David He." Lao Qin suddenly looked at him seriously again. "The theme of your composition this time is between biased and not biased. It's a bit dangerous. Although the final score is okay, you still have to pay attention. Tomorrow in the Chinese class, I will use your composition to talk to everyone about the theme problem."

David He had no objection and nodded.

"And Alex." Lao Qin turned his gaze to Alex and said in a complicated way, "I will read your composition tomorrow as well."

"Why, teacher?" Alex asked, "All my marks were deducted from my composition."

"I know." Lao Qin said seriously, "Third year of high school is stressful. I'll read it out tomorrow to help you relax."

The whole room burst into laughter.

Lao Qin lay down at the table next to the podium to take a nap. Alex asked quietly, "How long have you been at the door?"

"He really just arrived." David He whispered, taking out the fake question bank from the desk and flipping it open to reveal Sakuragi Hanamichi. "What else can he say? I can guess it with my ears plugged."

...

Yes Si was stunned for a moment, then he laughed so hard that he held his stomach and almost laughed until tears came out.

He almost suspected that David He had planned to sit here. After all, the seats near the back door were extremely convenient for arriving late or leaving early. Moreover, this guy even prepared a comic book disguise to prevent the pair of eyes lying on the back door glass. How well prepared he was.

"Did you eat enough at night?" David He asked suddenly, reaching behind his back to touch the back door.

"Ah?" Alex looked up at Lao Qin, whose eyes were half closed and he was almost asleep. He asked, "What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, David He reached there. The rustling sound of plastic bags outside mixed with the sound of wind blowing through glass in the corridor, and did not attract any attention.

He pulled back the bag that was placed outside against the wall, took out something from it and put it on Yes's desk.

"Red bean daifuku." David He said, "I didn't have time to eat dinner tonight, so I stopped by the bakery and had a bite. This is pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

Through the translucent glutinous rice skin, Yes could see the white cream and soft bean paste inside.

Without any further ado, he took out a fist-sized snack and bit it all into his mouth in a few bites.

It is soft and sweet, the red bean filling is sandy, and mixed with the cream to create a layered texture.

"Are you full?" David He was surprised. He originally just wanted to bring a dessert for Ye Si, but this guy's reaction seemed like he had never eaten before, which made him suspect that Ye Si came to the evening self-study class on an empty stomach.

Yes Si looked at him, opened his mouth and burped a red bean cream flavor.

David He, ...

After eating too much at night, Alex was extremely sleepy, or maybe he was about to pass out. He felt that he should hang a sign around his neck that read "Alex is a first-class protected animal in the country. Feeding is prohibited."

"I'll take a nap." Yes said, "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." David He nodded, stuffed the test paper handed out on the table into his desk, found the bookmark clipped in the comic, and folded a small ear on the piece of paper sticking out of the tissue paper drawer.

Ye Si lay on the table and looked at the little ear, and suddenly felt like he was traveling through time.

In just one day, he seemed to have suddenly become familiar with the strange habits of the academic god. But a lot of things did happen today. He had not had any interaction with David He in the past two years. Today was a big step for mankind.

In fact, he wanted to ask David He where he had been, but he felt he had no right to ask, and it always felt weird.

Ye Si slept for less than twenty minutes when he suddenly felt David He bump him with his elbow.

He opened his eyes blankly, "What's wrong?"

David He glanced behind him. When Ye Si turned around, he saw Principal Xiao Wang standing beside him, looking at him with a charming smile on his face.

"Fcuk." Yes Si sat up straight, and then found that the classroom was silent, and all the students were craning their necks to look back.

Principal Xiao Wang smiled and touched his head, "Student Alex, did I scare you? Sorry."

"Don't touch me." Alex frowned and hid back, "If you have something to say, just talk nicely. I don't like it when others touch me."

Ye Si was probably the only person in the school who dared to speak to the principal like this, but Principal Xiao Wang was more understanding and didn't get angry. He took his hand back and said, "Sorry, I didn't know you had this habit. If you have time, please come out. Teacher Zhu has something to say to you."

Ye Si frowned and thought for a while before realizing that he was talking about Zhu Cha Cha. His expression suddenly fell, "She lost the bet. Did she call her parents?"

Principal Xiao Wang smiled and said, "I have been in this school for more than 20 years, and you are the first one who wants to find a teacher or parent."

There was suppressed laughter all around, and Yes moved, "What's wrong with her?"

"Let's talk it out so that everyone can continue studying," said Lao Qin.

Just get out.

Ye Si stood up, Lao Qin and Principal Wang turned and walked towards the front door, David He dodged to the side, and Ye Si jumped out of the back door directly, holding on to the table.

In the corridor, there was not only Zhu Chacha, but also Hu Xiujie. Zhu Chacha looked very unhappy, with contempt and resentment, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Principal Wang rubbed his hands and said, "Student Alex, there were several teachers who expressed themselves inappropriately in the office today, including me. Although we are teachers, we also have the obligation to apologize to students when we make mistakes, so we come here to hope to get your forgiveness."

Hu Xiujie's expression was still serious, but he was still relatively polite. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye Si, I made a blind judgment about you today."

Zhu Chacha opened his mouth stiffly, "I'm sorry."

She frowned again as she spoke, with an indescribable look of disgust in her eyes, "But it's also a reminder to you that our school's punishment for buying and selling test answers is very severe."

Ye Si looked at them, "I remember everything everyone said in the office today. Lao Hu." He paused, "Although he usually looks down on me, his words today were not particularly inappropriate. I can understand that he has a stereotype of me. The principal didn't say anything to me. Only Teacher Zhu mocked me."

Ye Si looked at Zhu Chacha and put his hands in his trouser pockets. "I know what the results are this time. No matter what the truth is, I will be the one taking the college entrance examination in a year. I will walk my own path and bear the consequences myself. You have no right to force me to admit my guilt, and you have no right to tell me what kind of person I should be."

Yesun paused, frowned and said, "This matter is over, but I hope that in the future, when you say sorry, you can be more careful and not act like someone is holding a knife to your neck. If that's the case, don't pretend to be so. I feel more disgusted than eating Sh!t when you say sorry."

Zhu Chacha was almost mad with anger, and immediately turned back to look at Hu Xiujie, "Director..."

"Alright, alright." Lao Qin said quickly, "Everyone take a step back and let's put this matter behind us. Um, Director, can you and Teacher Zhu go back first?"

Hu Xiujie pulled Zhu Chacha and said, "Teacher Zhu, come here and let's talk about the key points of senior high school teaching."

After Hu Xiujie dragged the man away, Lao Qin sighed and looked at Ye Si, "You, even though you got over 600 points in the exam, you are still the same. You are such a thorn in the side. Can't you be a little softer?"

"I can be soft." Yes said stubbornly, "It depends on who I'm with. I'll be soft to people who are good to me."

"Hahaha." Principal Wang laughed, "Student Ye Si is quite sensible. I even looked at your Chinese test paper today, and you answered all the points for the reading comprehension questions. I really didn't expect that your reading comprehension ability is so strong. I always thought that you couldn't understand what people said."

Yes looked at him expressionlessly, "You think you are praising me, but you are not."

Lao Qin sighed, "You haven't read his essay. He can understand what people say, but he won't speak it."

Principal Wang laughed even louder, and the whole corridor was filled with his hearty laughter. He turned and walked towards the stairs, "Isn't this good? One less person to fight with, and one more focus, it's a good thing."

Old Qin said yes, yes, yes, while waving his hand behind his back to signal Yes to go back first. Yes staggered back to his seat from the back door, listening to the voices of Old Qin and the principal from one end of the corridor to the other until they disappeared.

The class was quiet, and suddenly someone whispered, "I will bear the consequences of the college entrance examination myself. Master Ye is awesome."

The suffocating classroom suddenly seemed to come alive, and everyone was discussing. Xiaopang turned around and said, "The senior year of high school is our own, and we will bear the consequences of the college entrance examination ourselves. What right do they have to define what kind of students we are?"

Alex cleared his throat and gave him a light kick on the stool. "Okay, study hard."

It took a while for the surroundings to quiet down. When everyone stopped talking, David He, who had been reading comics with his head down, raised his head and smiled at Yes Si.

"Master Ye is awesome." David He gave him a thumbs up.
