Chapter 5 Battle of Shaoshi Mountain

In addition to Yuan Dabao's intense reaction, Wei Ran, who was sitting at the front of the class, also turned his head to look at Dabao and Zhang Yang who were sitting in the last row.

Wei Ran had barely remembered the girl after their brief encounter on Sunday. It wasn't until he saw the military satchel Xin Tianyi was carrying that he was certain it was her.

Last night, three of us got together and talked for a long time about this girl who "snitched the news". Unexpectedly, we became classmates today!

Wei Ran looked back in surprise. Yuan Dabao also had his eyes wide open. Facing Wei Ran's question, he made an expression that asked, "How do I know?"

Zhang Yang looked at Xin Tianyi on the podium with an expressionless face. He was very sure that this was the little girl. He remembered her eyes.

"Okay, Xin Tianyi, you can sit in the middle of the last row. Everyone has their own deskmate now, and there are no empty seats." After Teacher Liu finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed behind him: "Yuan Dabao, Zhang Yang, you two go to the Academic Affairs Office and move the tables and chairs. Just put them in the row next to you."

When there was any physical work to do in class, the teacher would ask the tall boys in the back to do it. One reason was that they were strong, and the other was that they really didn't like studying. Since they were idle anyway, they might as well do some work.

In the past, when Teacher Liu called out to them, Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao would immediately stand up. But today, after she finished speaking, the two of them just hung their heads as if they hadn't heard her.

Liu Yuan didn't know what was going on and thought neither of them heard anything, so she raised her voice and asked, "Yuan Dabao? Zhang Yang?"

Yuan Dabao raised his head, but before he could say anything, Zhang Yang next to him interrupted him.

He sat there, looked at the teacher sincerely, and said, "Teacher Liu, I accidentally twisted my ankle while jogging this morning. It's difficult for me to stand up now. I'm afraid I can't move tables and chairs."

"Really?" Liu Yuan had no doubts, because Zhang Yang was well-known in the school. He played football or basketball every day, so getting injured was a common occurrence. "Do you need to go to the hospital? If so, I'll notify your parents."

"Thank you, Teacher Liu. I just sprained my ankle, but it will be healed soon. No need to go to the hospital." Zhang Yang lied as if it were a daily routine. He lied so seriously that Yuan Dabao beside him believed him.

"Did you sprain your ankle while jogging this morning?" Yuan Dabao asked quietly, "How come I didn't know about it?"

Zhang Yang glanced at Yuan Dabao sideways, said nothing, and just curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Teacher Liu was just thinking about who to ask when he heard Xin Tianyi say, "Teacher, I can do it myself."

Liu Yuan paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it okay? Can you move it?"

"Yes." Xin Tianyi said, "I'll go now."

Teacher Liu immediately said, "Then monitor, you go with her and take this student to the Academic Affairs Office. It's her first day here and she doesn't even know where the office is."

The class monitor was Wei Ran. At this moment, Wei Ran had already stood up and nodded to the teacher: "Okay, teacher."

Xin Tianyi looked at Wei Ran, smiled at him, and spoke first: "Then let's go."

Wei Ran smiled back, "Okay."

Wei Ran walked in front, and Xin Tianyi followed behind. The two walked out of the classroom one after the other.

Yuan Dabao was sitting in the back watching, furious. He stared at the two men as they left and gritted his teeth, "Wei Ran, you traitor!"

Yuan Dabao was angry, but he also had to consider his brother's feelings. But when he turned to look at Zhang Yang, he saw that Zhang Yang had already started reading with his chin in his hand.

Yuan Dabao was very confused: "Why are you reading a book? Aren't you angry? Wei Ran took her to the Academic Affairs Office!"

Zhang Yang was engrossed in the class, but became annoyed by Yuan Dabao's questions, so he replied, "He's the class monitor. The teacher asked him to take the new students to the Academic Affairs Office. How could he refuse?"

"Why not just make up a lie like you?" Yuan Dabao said immediately.

"When have you ever seen Wei Ran lie? He's the only person in the world who can't lie. Don't lead him astray!"

Yuan Dabao looked at Zhang Yang in disbelief, his mouth hanging open for a long time, not knowing how to respond. Finally, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Just like how good you are! Everyone knows that the reason Wei Ran didn't get first place in the school exam last time was because he played with you every day and you led him astray!"

Yuan Dabao wanted to continue making fun of Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang turned around and glared at him, so he immediately shut up.

Just watching Zhang Yang studying so hard is definitely not his style.

Yuan Dabao knew this man best, as he had grown up with him. He could say he was reading, but if he was reading so seriously, there was definitely something fishy going on.

Yuan Dabao pushed hard on the book from Zhang Yang's arm, and then he found that there was a Chinese textbook on top of the man and another one underneath.

Yuan Dabao strained his strength to see the line of words on the bottom of the book: A gray-robed monk suddenly stepped out from among the Shaolin monks and said loudly, "Big brother, third brother, you were drinking, why didn't you come and call me?" It was Xu Zhu...

Yuan Dabao almost shouted, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

Zhang Yang still held his chin with his right hand, but his left hand had already reached out from below, grabbed Yuan Dabao's arm, squeezed it hard, and whispered, "What are you shouting about!"

"Let's watch it together! This part is the most exciting. Let me see it too." Yuan Dabao said from the side.

"I'm watching." Zhang Yang said impatiently.

"Together, together!" Yuan Dabao said as he pushed his head towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang held his position tightly, refusing to let Yuan Dabao come even a little bit. As the two were fighting silently, they heard a sound from the back door.

Wei Ran and Xin Tianyi came in from the back door carrying a table.

After they set the table, Xin Tianyi thanked Wei Ran: "Thank you for helping me move the table. My name is Xin Tianyi, Xin from Xin Qiji, and Tianyi is what you think of it."

Wei Ran laughed. There were people who introduced their names in this way. However, when people heard the words "God's Will", they would indeed think of those two words directly.

"My name is Wei Ran, which means fire. I'm the monitor of our class. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

"Thank you." Xin Tianyi said.

Wei Ran didn't say anything else, just smiled and returned to his seat.

Yuan Dabao pricked up his ears and listened. Every time Xin Tianyi said something, he would make faces and mutter under his breath, "What do you mean by those two words you wanted? I wanted other words... Humph!"

"classmate."

Yuan Dabao was startled, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. As he was muttering, the person he was muttering about walked up to him and called out.

Yuan Dabao immediately sat up straight, his body erect, but he didn't turn his head, nor did he look at Xin Tianyi. He cleared his throat and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Can you lend me the class schedule so I can copy it?" Xin Tianyi asked.

"Class, class schedule?" Yuan Dabao paused slightly, obviously not wanting to say anything more to Xin Tianyi, and just raised his hand and pointed forward.

There is a piece of paper next to the blackboard with the class schedule for the week.

Xin Tianyi went with Wei Ran to move desks, and she got to know Wei Ran and greeted him formally. When she and Wei Ran went to the Academic Affairs Office, Xin Tianyi walked behind Wei Ran, greedily looking at his back.

Xin Tianyi couldn't remember the last time he saw Wei Ran's back in his previous life. Wei Ran was the warmest person among them, like a little angel.

At this moment, she wanted to use the timetable to formally speak to Yuan Dabao and Zhang Yang. She had to approach them first and become close friends with them quickly before she could offer them suggestions and have them implemented them thoroughly. But to her surprise, Yuan Dabao simply raised his finger, his face etched with impatience: Keep away, strangers.

Xin Tianyi could only say to Yuan Dabao, "Okay, I see. Thank you."

Yuan Dabao was confused by this thank you. He rolled his eyes slightly, said nothing more, and lowered his head.

The first class is Chinese class taught by our homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu.

Zhang Yang sat up straight the moment the teacher came in, but he still didn't take down the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils book from below.

There was an aisle between him and Xin Tianyi, and between them stood Yuan Dabao, a somewhat stouter fellow than the others, who sat like a wall.

Zhang Yang could only glance in Xin Tianyi's direction. Previously, the last row was empty, with only him and Yuan Dabao sitting by the window. Now that there was another person, he felt uncomfortable.

"Morning reading is over, let's go to class. Today we start reviewing. We only have two days to review. I'll walk you through the textbook, and then we'll have the final exam."

As soon as Teacher Liu finished speaking, the students below exclaimed.

"The exam is so soon?"

"There's still a month until the holiday?"

"Chinese New Year is next month."

"That's early, why are we taking the exam now?"

…

Everyone started talking at once, and Teacher Liu had already picked up the book and started lecturing on the podium.

"We need to take the exams early, and after that, start studying for the next semester. Classmates, before winter break, we have a tough task ahead of us. We need to cover at least one-third of the next semester's content. That way, we can finish everything early when school starts, and then conduct a comprehensive review. Let me tell you, there are more people taking the high school entrance exam this year than last year. What scores you can achieve? Can you get into a normal school, a medical school, a technical school, go to high school? Or fail at anything, repeat a year, or go home to farm? It all depends on your own abilities."

Teacher Liu earnestly advised, "Everyone, you must seize this period of time to study. I know that many students in our class are actually very smart, but they just don't use their cleverness in the right way. For some students, if they just work harder, their grades will improve significantly. What kind of person you will become in the future depends entirely on you!"

As the teacher spoke, his eyes fell on the rows behind him intentionally or unintentionally.

Yuan Dabao had been sitting upright, but upon hearing this, he collapsed on the table. He then whispered to Zhang Yang, "Teacher is looking at you. You're the one I'm talking about!"

Zhang Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him. He lowered his eyes and continued to watch Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

I'm seeing the excitement right now and I really can't give up.

Xu Zhu and Duan Yu, fearless of life and death, kowtowed to Qiao Feng and became sworn brothers, and were about to fight a fierce battle at Shaoshi Mountain.

Zhang Yang couldn't take his eyes off the novel, but the teacher was already calling on students to recite ancient poems.

"Let me check your recitation of 'The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital'. This is definitely a compulsory question. You must be able to recite it backwards." Teacher Liu looked around the classroom and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Yang who was "studying hard".

"Then let's start with Zhang Yang. You recite the first two sections of "Departure to the Capital," then Yuan Dabao. Then continue to the right, to the new student, yes, Xin Tianyi. Recite them two by two, and then move forward..."

The author has something to say:

Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or provided me with nutrient solution between 2023-04-06 16:07:40 and 2023-04-07 19:33:03~
