No parents

"Happy New Year, Sister Zhou!"

"Happy New Year, Yuanyuan!"

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

A new semester brings new atmosphere. After more than ten days of vacation, it seems like nothing has changed after the New Year, but it also seems like something has changed.

"La la la! I'm the happy little bee, and I see you again!"

"Oh, Yuanyuan, your dress looks great! The light yellow color really makes you look whiter!"

"Oh, Sister Zhou, you look so elegant in this black down jacket!"

"Thank you!" Gao Yuanyuan went over and hugged Xiao Xiaoyu.

"Thank you. Your clothes look great too."

"Hey, Sister Zhou, I think so too. I went to the mall and shopped for a long time before I found this one!" Xiao Xiaoyu sniffed Gao Yuanyuan's neck like a puppy, "You smell so good too!"

"By the way, Yuanyuan, I want to tell you that the novel I read last night was finished, and the ending was really exciting. The author is really awesome and domineering. He uploaded 15 chapters in one go and chose to end it on New Year's Eve, just like in the novel!"

"Now the author has published a new book! It has a relatively large span and a completely new world view. I strongly recommend you to read it!"

"Well, I'll go take a look when the time comes. But school has just started, so there should be a lot going on."

"Damn! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. What the hell is this school doing with their summer schedule? They added a morning listening class this semester, and I have to get in half an hour early. What kind of English listening class is this so early in the morning? It's like a lullaby!"

Gao Yuanyuan took out a box, opened the lid, and took out a packet of paper and placed it next to it: "Yes! Disgusting! Do you want to eat this? My mother made it."

"Spicy noodles! Spicy noodles! Oh my goodness, I actually saw such delicious food at school!"

Xiao Xiaoyu was stunned and rushed over, looking left and right to cover this place so that it would not be seen by the greedy person.

"Wow! Your mother is so nice that she even makes spicy noodles for you! What a wonderful mother!" Xiao Xiaoyu wiped her hands and was eager to try.

"Zhou Xi, do you want to eat?"

"No, I'm a little irritated." Zhou Xi smelled the spicy scent and turned his head away.

She doesn't understand the world of fragrances. She only knows that she will vomit if she eats them, and she will feel like vomiting if she smells them too much.

"Will you eat?"

"I want to eat! I want to eat! Gao Yuanyuan, I've been waiting for you to say this! I'm so greedy. I've been at home for more than ten days during the winter vacation. I've been eating a completely vegetarian diet. My family doesn't allow me to eat junk food. If I dare to eat it, I'll have to pay back my New Year's money," Sun Gu rubbed his hands and took one. "Wow! It smells so good!"

"Yuanyuan, don't you want to eat?"

"I'm full. I'm at home. I eat a lot."

"Wow, I'm full. This word is so happy!"

"What, what! I want to eat too!" Lu Zisheng rushed over before putting down his schoolbag.

"Spicy strips." Gao Yuanyuan handed over the box and a piece of paper.

"Wow! Thank you!"

"Oh, I have some food too!" Lu Zisheng swallowed the spicy strips in a few mouthfuls, wiped the oil off his hands, and opened his schoolbag. "Here, my mom specially asked me to bring some back. I can't even fit more!"

"Shengsheng, I want to eat these macadamia nuts! And the jelly and potato chips! Yuanyuan, your favorite cucumber-flavored potato chips! Come on! Take it!"

Xiao Xiaoyu also raided the supermarket during the Chinese New Year. Logically, she was tired of eating at home, but as soon as she came to school, she wanted to eat everything she wanted.

She is just like this, a hopeless person with no future.

Lu Zisheng simply poured out everything in his schoolbag and let Jun choose: "Gao Yuanyuan, you like to eat this, I have a lot at home, please help me solve it when the time comes, please!"

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and she clutched the bag of potato chips tightly, making a rustling sound.

"Hey, I hate cucumber-flavored potato chips. My mom bought a ton of them on purpose and stuffed them all in my room. If I don't finish them, she won't give me any pocket money. It pissed me off!"

"Auntie, this is...okay."

"Wait, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

"Ding-ling-ling!"

When the morning reading bell rang, the class leader stood on the podium to organize discipline. The crowd dispersed and all sat back in their seats within a few seconds.

Although it was the first day of school, everyone was extremely excited and wanted to pour out everything they had said in the past ten days. Their hearts were itching and their eyes were no longer numb like when they were studying.

But there was no way. As expected, Lao Zhang was coming quickly. If they didn't sit down quickly, hehe, they would be served according to the old rules.

Zhou Xi glanced at the Chinese class representative on the podium who was writing this morning's recitation assignment with chalk, took out the Chinese textbook, covered his nose, and read it in a low voice.

Tolerate.

Tolerate.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I can't stand your ball battle!

"Zhou Xi, what's wrong with you?" Gao Yuanyuan felt the touch beside her elbow disappear, heard the sound of a stool being moved, and the person next to her walked towards the door.

"I feel a little uncomfortable, I need to go to the bathroom."

Gao Yuanyuan thought of something and followed him out. The toilet was at the corner at the end of the corridor. She jogged all the way, passing by one class after another, and felt that countless eyes were looking out the window.

"Are you okay?" Gao Yuanyuan ran into the bathroom and heard the sound of vomiting, and hurriedly took out the paper from her pocket.

"fine!"

“Ahem!”

The sound of water splashing echoed in the bathroom, and a breeze mixed with mosquito coils blew in through the window. Gao Yuanyuan smelled a hint of it and subconsciously held her breath. It was so smelly that it made her want to vomit.

"Thanks."

"Why, did you vomit?"

Zhou Xi smiled helplessly: "Your spicy strips are too fragrant. I was a little full this morning, and the smell makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"Ah? I'm sorry, I don't know you..."

"It's okay, it's my own problem. Thank you for the tissue. Let's go back to morning reading." Zhou Xi wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, turned off the faucet, and patted Gao Yuanyuan.

"Come on! Everyone, be quiet for a moment and continue reading. We have a new student transferring to our class this semester. Everyone, give them a warm welcome!"

"Wow! So handsome!"

"This handsome guy looks so gentle with those black-framed glasses!"

"Hurry, go find out after class!"

"Who is this?"

"Pot?"

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yu."

"Pah! Guo'er's brother? How come Guo'er has lost some weight after not seeing him for the winter break?"

Zhang Tu stood aside and waited for a while. The person above wrote two words on the blackboard and then fell silent. "That's all? Chen Yu, please say more so that everyone can get to know you better."

"Teacher, it's gone."

Chen Yu looked at Zhang Tu calmly, but he was complaining in his heart that introducing himself was simply one of the eight wonders of mankind.

Zhang Tu scratched his head: "Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. Our classmate Chen Yu just transferred from No. 3 Middle School and is still a little uncomfortable. Please take good care of him when the time comes.

"Um, Chen Yu, there are no single students in that class right now, and you're quite tall, so it's not easy for you to sit in the front row. How about you sit in the back first and then adjust it later?"

"good."

"Hey, squad leader, where are the two empty seats?"

"I went to the bathroom."

"Oh, okay, monitor! Come, take Chen Yu to the classroom to move a set of tables and chairs over, and then go to the Academic Affairs Office to get some books and uniforms."

"Yes, Lao Zhang! Come on, brothers, let's go!"

"Teacher, there are too many books. Let me help too!" An arm popped out.

"Lu Zisheng? Okay, be careful on the road and don't bully the new students. Tell him if there's anything he doesn't know."

"Okay!"

As the three of them walked in the corridor, Wang Feng felt a chill coming from the brother named Chen Yu, and he didn't know how to communicate with his new brother.

Emma Watson, what's going on? Are you trying to be awesome?

Lu Zisheng finally couldn't help himself, and put his hands on his hips, looking curious: "Chen Yu, right? How did you transfer here? Last semester, I remember it was Hotpot who came to us to ask about transferring to Yuxiu, but he didn't come, and you did!"

"Really? That's quite interesting. I didn't expect it would be me. However, my grades at No. 3 Middle School were too bad, and I was afraid of being affected, so I transferred here."

"Damn it! You are talking nonsense! Your grades are so good, is that true? Don't try to scare me." Lu Zisheng wanted to punch Chen Yu to see if it was true.

Chen Yu suddenly laughed: "It's fake, but I do want to get better grades."

"Ah, I heard that the management at your No. 3 Middle School is indeed not as strict as at Yuxiu. Is that true? And your family wants you to come to Yuxiu to experience the pressure of the college entrance examination?"

"almost."

"Do you know Lu Zisheng?" Squad leader Wang Feng put his arm around Lu Zisheng's shoulder.

"Yeah, he's my gaming partner. I've seen him before. What a coincidence! Now he's defected from No. 3 Middle School."

Chen Yu froze, his expression changed slightly, and his hands were still cold in his pockets.

rebel?

Yes, he is a deserter who escaped to Yuxiu. If Le Cheng came to school today and didn’t see him in class, I wonder how he would react. He would dislike him, maybe even hate him. Maybe Le Cheng would think that Chen Yu is a lunatic.

"Hey, it would be nice if we could have hotpot too. He disappeared halfway through playing games during the winter break and hasn't replied to my message yet. By the way, Chen Yu, you're his brother, what's going on?" Lu Zisheng reached out to call himself his brother.

"His family confiscated his phone and told him to study hard." Chen Yu squatted down to tie his shoelaces. "Wait a moment."

"Ah! No, I'm in such a bad spot! His parents are so strict? What do they mean? Isn't playing games normal? It's not against the law or discipline. Why don't they allow him to play games?"

"He must have been deceived, so his parents must protect him well."

"Ah? I was cheated. Is it serious? No, even someone as smart as me could be cheated?" Lu Zisheng looked unconvinced.

Chen Yu felt the cold wind and shrank his neck. "It was pretty serious. He was almost beaten to death by his parents. But I don't blame him. It's just that the liar was too cunning and his lies were too convincing."

Wang Feng overheard this and couldn't help but jump out, "Fuck! Who is this? So disgusting! In our great China, as long as you have two hands, you can feed yourself and there's no such thing as starvation. There are still people in this world who cheat people. What a fool!"

Chen Yu was stunned. He didn't expect this person to curse so harshly. He was almost out of breath. "Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

"Yo, bro, what's wrong with you?"

“…”

"A little windy, cough!"

Gao Yuanyuan and her friend had just come out and turned the corner when they heard the bathroom door frame slam shut and heard a scream.

Zhou Xi and Gao Yuanyuan exchanged a glance and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Zhou Xi gently pushed open the door, and Gao Yuanyuan saw three girls with their backs to them. The girl facing them saw them with tears in her eyes, asking for help.

Gao Yuanyuan froze, her eyes turned red instantly, and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.

"Go call the teacher." Zhou Xi leaned over and squeezed Gao Yuanyuan's hand, silently speaking with his mouth. When there was no response, he used a little more force.

Gao Yuanyuan came back to her senses and stared blankly at Zhou Xi's mouth opening and closing. She understood what he meant, turned her head, and staggered.

"What are you doing!?"

"Hey, Zhou Xi? What a coincidence! What? Are you trying to meddle in other people's business?"

The door is closed

“…”

"Teacher!"

"What's wrong!"

Lin Yueru had just come down from patrolling upstairs when a student almost bumped into her arms and almost knelt down in front of her. She was so scared that she quickly supported the student.

"Slow down! Take your time, there's no rush."

"Someone is in the toilet, bullying others! Teacher! I..."

Six girls followed Lin Yueru through the corridor. Their formation was as large as a bright light bulb. They pressed the pause button every time they passed a class. The neat reading sounds became noticeably quieter and noisy.

"Wow! The director is here to arrest someone. Who is it?"

"You're already causing trouble on the first day of school, Brother Yong, ugh, Sister Yong!"

“That’s…”

"Xiao Lingtong, go and find out!"

"Understood!"

"Tell me, what's going on? And you three aren't wearing your uniforms on the first day of school, what are you thinking?"

Six girls stood in a row. Lin Yueru leaned against the table with a bad look on her face. It was obvious that there were countless teachers behind her who cared about her. Although they seemed to be doing their own things, they were actually all listening attentively.

Lei Yueyue covered half of her face, and even her hands were red. "We forgot about the director's uniform, but, director! It's Zhou Xi! We were chatting with Du Xinying in the bathroom, and she suddenly barged in, started saying some inexplicable things, and even hit us!"

"That's right! Teacher, look, my hands are swollen!"

"Director! You have to make the decision for us!"

"No! No!" Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red with anger, and she tried hard to hold back her tears.

"fine."

Zhou Xi touched Gao Yuanyuan's hand from behind to soothe her.

"Quiet! Quiet! What's the hurry? Come one by one!"

"Zhou Xi, what's going on?"

How could Lin Yueru not recognize this good student? She had never caused any trouble, had good grades, and participated in various competitions. She looked like a very calm girl and didn't look like the type to hit anyone.

Besides, she had seen these things before. The answers were clearly written on the faces of these girls, and she could basically guess the general idea from who spoke first.

"Director, they were bullying people in the restroom. Gao Yuanyuan and I happened to hear it. I asked her to call the teacher. They were the first to start the fight. I was just protecting myself."

Zhou Xi stated the facts without any excitement. There was a red mark on his hand from his long nails, which was painful and hot.

"What about you, Du Xinying, right? The three of them said they were chatting with you, and Zhou Xi said they were bullying you. Tell the teacher what's going on?"

"I……"

Du Xinying, with messy hair, felt something, lowered her head, and trembled slightly. The sourness in her nose made her unable to open her mouth. She could only hold on to her clothes tightly. There was a scar on the back of her hand.

"Teacher, yes, I was chatting and playing with the three of them in the bathroom..."

Gao Yuanyuan stood behind Zhou Xi. When she looked up slightly, one could clearly see surprise flash across her eyes, followed by self-mockery and so-called understanding. Then she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, there was indifference in her eyes.

"This classmate misunderstood, misunderstood, and then everyone accidentally started arguing. I'm sorry, teacher, we shouldn't have come out for morning reading."

"Is this really the case? The teachers are all here, just tell us what you have to say." Lin Yueru stood in front of Du Xinying, but her heart sank. The girl kept her head down and didn't dare to look at her.

"Yes, teacher."

"Director! I want Zhou Xi to apologize to us, a public apology!"

"Shut up!"

"Cough cough!" There were a few coughs in the office. Lin Yueru put her hands on her hips, unable to resist the urge to explode, but she forced herself to suppress her anger.

The three girls were choked and looked at Lin Yueru in surprise: "Director, you are mean to us, are you——"

"This matter ends here. Don't you have any idea in mind? You three go back to class first, and you three stay here."

"host……"

Zhou Xi stopped Gao Yuanyuan and dragged her out without hesitation.

The door closed, and Lin Yueru lost all her patience and sat on the chair: "Let this matter rest. I won't delve into it. Don't think I don't know your tricks and apologize. Du Xinying didn't dare to say it, but you three know it well."

"What? You're still glaring at me. The surveillance cameras are useless. Do you want me to check them one by one? I'm giving you face, but you still think it's not enough? Hurry and get back to class!"

The office suddenly became quiet, broken by the rustling sound of flipping pages.

"Director Lin, you are too impulsive. After all, you are a student." A young teacher of the same age as Lin Yueru spoke.

"Teacher Zhu, Teacher Zhou, you all know it." Lin Yueru slumped down, supporting her head with both hands, speaking in a low voice.

"Xiao Lin, some things are just blind to one side. You are no longer an ordinary teacher. Now that you are in this position, you should be careful with your words and act rationally, instead of just like that..."

Lin Yueru raised her head and stared at the old man who was much older than her.

"Teacher Xu, you should also know that I have always been like this, but the higher-ups pushed me into this position anyway. They need fresh blood and use me as a whetstone. Isn't it because they want me to change?"

"Okay, I'll take it..."

Many other teachers in the office are older than her and have more experience. It can be said that when she first came to this office for internship, she was treated like a beast of burden, printing all kinds of materials and correcting homework and test papers.

Who hasn't tempered her, cleaned the house, carried water and boiled water every day; who hasn't secretly teased her and invited her to dinner parties, saying that this is a way to connect with colleagues.

But that's just how she is. She can't get around it by going around in circles. In their eyes, she is a stubborn person and will never make it in the teaching profession. Being named an advanced individual or getting a professional title is just a dream for her.

After spending a few years in this school, she's seen what a mixed bag it is. If it weren't for the thunderbolt of reform, there would be so many jealous people trying to get close to her, both openly and covertly, but it just happened to hit her...

"But, you should know..."

Lin Yueru snorted in self-deprecation and raised her head: "I'm not afraid. At worst, I can just quit my job and serve these gold mine ancestors every day."

"you……"
