Chapter 52

Early the next morning, a magical scene occurred in front of the door of the experimental class of No. 1 Middle School.

These students who were always considered the top students in the campus lined up at the entrance of the experimental class, and the scene was quite spectacular. The point was that among them was Xi Shen, who was said to have been recommended for graduation, and a school bully whose past was frequently mentioned in the news a few days ago.

"Are you happy?" Chen Mo asked, leaning against the wall. "I called everyone at 5:30 in the morning, but no one got up. Now you are being watched like a monkey. Does it feel good?"

"Stop scolding Brother Mo."

"That's right." Jiang Xu was still smiling with gloating, "We are fine, but Qi Lin, what's with that big bump on your forehead? Did you fall off the bed while drunk and sleepwalking on a date with your wife?"

"Get out!" Qi Lin kicked him.

Speaking of this, Qi Lin was also confused.

He couldn't figure out how he had offended the Xi guy and why he was being treated so cruelly.

He went to see Xi Siyan and happened to see him turning his head and talking to Chen Mo.

The two stood very close to each other. Logically speaking, Chen Mo and Xi Siyan had a good relationship over the past year, so there was nothing strange about that. But at this moment, Qi Lin inexplicably remembered last night. The moment he opened the door, he vaguely saw two figures on the sofa, and the distance between them was a little unusual.

Just imagine, it was the dead of night, why were they so alert?

Think again about Chen Mo’s sexual orientation.

Qi Lin's expression was as if cracked, filled with disbelief. He subconsciously thought that Chen Mo had taken a fancy to Lao Xi. After all, according to Chen Mo's previous style of doing things, he would never put off doing what he decided to do overnight.

Qi Lin looked back and forth between the two men's faces.

There was nothing on Lao Xi's cold face, so was it Chen Mo who forced him, or was it he who was forced?

The head teacher, Xiang Shenglong, came up with the lesson plan and the first thing he said was, "Qi Lin! Why are you sticking your neck out like that?! Are you ready to be killed for the sake of justice?! You think you are not wrong, right?"

Qi Lin felt so wronged, but he dared not say a word of excuse under Lao Xiang's glare.

Old Xiang was furious this time. Not only did these good students climb over the wall in the middle of the night, but they were also drunk and late for school. They were caught by Director Lai at the school gate early in the morning! It was simply lawless.

Lao Xiang clapped his lesson plan in his hands.

"Tell me, where did you go last night?"

Chen Mo raised his hand: "My place."

"Where are you?" Lao Xiang was about to curse, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that the person who spoke was Chen Mo, so he had to hold the curse back.

After all, it was he who personally wrote the report for Chen Mo to move out of the dormitory.

The incident involving Chen Mo had caused such a big stir before that not only students but also many teachers knew that this student in his class had a pair of adoptive parents who were in jail for breaking the law, and also had a pair of biological parents who were rich but biased towards Yang Shule, a student in the parallel class.

The situation was so devastating that one could imagine the pressure on a teenager.

Every teacher secretly asked him about this, fearing that this dark horse would have a mental breakdown and fail.

Seeing Chen Mo return to school as usual, Lao Xiang was so relieved that he didn't dare to scold him.

But since the situation has come to this, I can only make a few symbolic criticisms.

Those two sentences, "It's not right to do this" and "How can you drink? What if something happens?" were so gentle and caring, like asking about someone's well-being, and the corners of other people's mouths twitched when they heard them.

Later, Lao Xiang scolded everyone else one by one. Chen Mo was definitely not given the same treatment. Lao Xiang was committed to making everyone repent deeply and feel from the bottom of their hearts that they were sorry for the heavens and the earth.

Finally, Xi Siyan was called to the office.

The others were depressed but still worried.

"It's over, Mr. Xi will definitely be criticized!"

"That's nonsense. Although Brother Yan is a non-staff member now, the new class leader Xiang hasn't been appointed yet. It would be a miracle if he didn't get scolded for taking the lead in violating discipline."

"It shouldn't affect Lao Xi's recommendation, right?"

"Ah? Is it that serious?"

Ten minutes later, the first class ended.

Chen Mo went to the teacher's office on the pretext of delivering the test paper to the math teacher.

He was not worried about Xi Siyan's admission, he just felt that he was more responsible for what happened last night and planned to talk to Lao Xiang about it.

But when he reached the door, he did not push it open immediately.

Because the first words he heard were said by Lao Xiang.

It had nothing to do with anything that had been violated last night. He was talking about Xi Siyan's whereabouts. Xiang Shenglong said, "My suggestion is to go abroad. With your current situation, I don't worry about the college entrance examination if you continue to study until you graduate from high school, but the time and energy cost of such a long competition is there. Domestic universities are certainly good, but overseas universities are the most suitable options for you at the moment, whether you want to further your studies in the future or have other choices in your major."

Inside the half-open office door.

Xi Siyan leaned against Xiang Shenglong's desk. The two stood face to face, and there was not much feeling between teacher and student.

It's more like an atmosphere among friends.

Xi Siyan shook his head: "In the past, I would have chosen this way."

"So why not choose now?" Lao Xiang asked calmly.

Xi Siyan smiled and said nothing.

For some reason, Lao Xiang suddenly thought of the forum at school.

He knew that the student in front of him was a frequent visitor, always at the top of the list. And this year, there was another one, whose popularity was no less than Xi Siyan's.

It's normal for good-looking boys with good grades to attract attention in school.

This is what youth should be like.

But Lao Xiang is so smart.

Just because he didn't say it on weekdays didn't mean he didn't know that Chen Mo had already come out publicly at school, or that he didn't know about the dirty rumors between Xi Siyan, his former student Yang Shule, who had been transferred out, and Chen Mo. On the contrary, a qualified class teacher would be able to grasp any slight movement in the class and be aware of many things.

But this kind of understanding obviously does not include the rumor seeming to have come true.

Xiang Shenglong's mouth twitched stiffly, with a look of doubt on his face, and he said directly: "Don't tell me it's because of Chen Mo?"

As soon as he saw Xi Siyan's expression showing a slight surprise, Xiang Shenglong knew that he had guessed right.

His face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it!" Xiang Shenglong picked up the folder on the table and threw it at Xi Siyan.

He pointed at him and yelled, "How mature did I think you were? Do you know what you are doing?! I'm warning you, Xi Siyan, I don't care whether you are at home or abroad. You have been a student I have taught throughout your life. As long as I am your class teacher, I will not let you do whatever you want!"

Xi Siyan took the document and raised his eyebrows: "You actually discriminate against sexual orientation?"

"Discrimination against your sister!" Lao Xiang's image as a teacher was shattered without a trace left. "What the hell does this have to do with sexual orientation? If I discriminate against homosexuals, I'll be the first to kill you! Do you think Chen Mo is the same as you, with a good family background and someone to back him up when he does whatever he wants outside? It's not easy for him to get to where he is today. So many teachers in the school are staring at him, fearing that he can't keep his mind stable, but you're the one who keeps finding trouble for me at the critical moment! I tell you, if Chen Mo makes any mistakes before the college entrance examination, I'll definitely settle the score with you!"

When Xi Siyan heard this, he laughed twice.

Xiang Shenglong was angry: "You still have the nerve to laugh?! When did this happen between you two?"

"I can't explain this to you."

Xi Siyan was very relaxed. It was hard to believe that this was his attitude after the truth was revealed. He obviously understood what made Lao Xiang angry. He got to the point and was inexplicably serious: "I know better than anyone how difficult it is for him. You guys are afraid it will melt if you hold it in your mouth. How can I harm you? No way."

Lao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't believe it. "Really didn't talk about it?"

"We really didn't talk about it." Xi Siyan gave Xiang Shenglong some reassurance, and after he relaxed, he joked, "Even if we did talk about it, do you think I can tell you?"

"Xi Siyan!"

It was at this time that Chen Mo went in.

He was afraid that Lao Xiang would be angry to death.

After knocking on the door twice, Xiang Shenglong simply calmed down his emotions before saying, "Come in."

Chen Mo walked in naturally, "I'm here to deliver the test paper to the math teacher."

"Chen Mo, she's not here. Just put it on the table." Lao Xiang found out it was him, looked between the two of them, and then pointed to Fu Ling's desk.

When Chen Mo walked past Xi Siyan, he looked at him.

Xi Siyan mouthed: Did you hear that?

Chen Mo nodded.

Xi Siyan: It’s okay.

Chen Mo nodded again, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

There is no difference between having your own class teacher know your sexual orientation and having other people know it.

What he cared about was not the part about himself that Xi Siyan and Lao Xiang talked about later, but Xi Siyan's decision to stay in the country at the beginning.

Because of me, will Xi Siyan take a different path from his previous life?

Chen Mo asked himself if he could afford such a major turning point that concerns a person's destiny and future.

The ending is OK.

But he hesitated, and it was precisely because of his experience that he had doubts.

He knows himself too well.

Selfish, authoritarian, making decisions based on feelings.

Especially when he had a chance to do it again, he paid more attention to his inner feelings. In his heart, he had the urge to live his relationship with Xi Siyan as a doomsday carnival, regardless of tomorrow, at least he was willing to do so. However, the reality was that they were not equal, which was not fair to Xi Siyan, who only had one life.

So come out of the office.

Chen Mo said: "You really don't plan to go out?"

"It's the same in China." Xi Siyan glanced at him. "For me, it doesn't matter where I go to college. So of course I choose what I want."

Chen Mo knew exactly what he was talking about.

Suddenly he said, "Why don't you move out first."

Xi Siyan stared over.

Chen Mo: "Get used to the distance and let your mind calm down. No, that's not right. Should we both calm down?"

Xi Siyan was silent for two seconds, then burst into laughter.

"Okay." He said lazily, without any objection.

Chen Mo, who was about to kick the person out on impulse, scratched his hair.

I feel like I can't turn back from being a scumbag.

Xi Siyan returned home.

Chen Mo's life was repetitive and there was no change at all.

In the following period, Xi Siyan rarely showed up at school, but he did not completely stop coming. He had various forms and documents to sign. On Wednesday afternoon, during the second self-study period, someone from the experimental class caught him in the office building. For this group of eager learners in the experimental class, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xi Siyan spent most of the class on the stage.

"What are you thinking about? Don't be distracted."

When Xi Siyan knocked on the table, Chen Mo was dragged onto the stage by Lao Gou to join in the fun.

A circle of students surrounded him, and Xi Siyan called his name.

Chen Mo came back to his senses and rolled his eyes, "I know the answer to this question."

"Then you tell the story?" Xi Siyan glanced at him.

People around sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Many.

"God Xi, tell me about this question, this one."

"When will you be back at school next time?"

"Brother Mo, Xishen is not available, how about you tell me about it?"

Chen Mo felt that it was just a normal day, except that Xi Siyan came to the school for an hour and left very quickly.

As a result, he went to get water after class.

Several people gathered around the water dispenser.

"Did Chen Mo have a conflict with that guy?"

"I know what you're talking about. I understand. It seems like the atmosphere is weird."

"Something must have happened."

"Isn't this a breakup???"

Chen Mo walked forward and calmly took the water amid the frightened eyes of several people.

Turning back: "No, have you ever seen two men quarreling?"
