When I arrived at the classroom, Xiao Chunmei wasn't there yet. Was she waiting for me at the entrance of the alley?

When the bell rang, Xiao Chunmei ran in breathlessly, sat down on a stool, and said, "Zhou Xiang, you're here already?"

"I came here from a barber shop today, which is not on the way to your place. Are you waiting for me at the entrance of the alley?"

"Yeah! I waited for about five minutes. I thought I was going to be late, so I rushed over."

"Next time, when I ask for leave, don't wait for me. My departure point is different."

"Okay, got it."

A snort came from behind, and both of them pretended not to hear it.

"Yesterday someone boasted they'd bring meat to feed the dog, but then they took the morning off and in the afternoon they left the dog behind and came here first. Poor dog! It's out of breath from running!"

Xiao Chunmei turned away angrily, but Zhou Xiang turned her back, "How dare you! A dog bites you, and you bite it back? Aren't you afraid of getting rabies?"

Xiao Chunmei's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright. "I'm afraid. From now on, I'll carry a dog-beating stick with me. If the dog dares to bark, I'll beat her to death."

"Yes! That's what I should do."

A beautiful teacher walked into the classroom and said, "Class is about to start!"

"stand up!"

"sit down!"

Wan Jing sat down angrily, thinking that she could make Xiao Chunmei dislike the teacher, but Zhou Xiang stopped her. Damn it!

This class was geometry. Zhou Xiang could listen at first, but then he became dazed.

Wan Jing could just see from the side that the algebra class in the morning was also taught by Teacher Bai. When she called the roll of the students, she frowned slightly when she heard that someone had asked for leave, and it was obvious that she was unhappy.

Teacher Bai had just finished writing a formula and was about to turn around.

"Report to the teacher, Zhou Xiang fell asleep in class!"

Zhou Xiang's dazed thoughts immediately returned to their original state. Oh no! He had forgotten the unique feature of this era: students could report others at any time if they caught them doing something wrong.

Ugh! How boring! Should I just go to high school? Will there be snitching in high school?

Teacher Bai immediately glared at Zhou Xiang. This seat was vacant in the morning, and the first name was Zhou Xiang. He asked for leave on the first day of class. It was very impressive!

"Zhou Xiang! Is what she said true?"

"Teacher! If you care about these things, don't teach any classes at all. Ask the students in the class if Wan Jing, the student who filed the report, is always targeting me.

If you deal with it, she can still say that I moved my hands and feet later! If I don't move, she can still say that I was in a daze and fell asleep! You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.

It's so boring! She's just staring at me. Doesn't she have to listen to the class? Ask her to repeat what you covered since you started, and then I'll repeat it again. Then you'll know who's been absent-minded."

Without waiting for Teacher Bai to say anything, Xiao Chunmei nodded immediately, "She's always looking for trouble!"

Bai Lina looked at other students. She really couldn't always listen to and deal with small reports. A class was 45 minutes long, and dealing with each one would take more than ten minutes.

And what Zhou Xiang said is right. If she listened attentively in class, how could she see others dozing off?

She was clearly standing on the left side of the blackboard, and Zhou Xiang was sitting in front of her right.

All the students below nodded.

Wan Jing wasted everyone's time in order to target Zhou Xiang, which is unforgivable.

Bai Lina pointed the stick in her hand at Wan Jing and said, "You, stand up and repeat what I said earlier. It's not demanding, just get the gist across."

Wan Jing stood up and stammered a few words. Bai Lina frowned.

"Okay, stop wasting time. Zhou wants you to repeat it."

Zhou Xiang stood up and repeated every word that Teacher Bai said, starting from the third page of geometry until she wrote the formula on the blackboard.

It was exactly the same as before. The classmates were shocked. Xiao Chunmei raised her head proudly. Humph! Zhou Xiang is really amazing!

Bai Lina felt that she might not be able to retell it, so it was no wonder that Zhou Xiang got full marks. He must have an excellent memory.

"Student Wan Jing, please don't waste everyone's time for your own selfish reasons. You've delayed handling this matter for over ten minutes. I'll forgive you for the first time, but next time, I'll ask you to stand outside. You're quite brave to take advantage of the teacher. Okay, everyone, sit down!"

Wan Jing felt she had nowhere to turn to for her grievances. Zhou Xiang wasn't dozing off, but she was in a daze! She had exaggerated a bit, but the teacher preferred to believe Zhou Xiang's lies.

Do you want such a strong memory this week? Humph! Since you have a strong memory, I will find a chance to deal with you later.

Zhou Xiang continued to daydream. Bai Lina saw it but didn't say anything to her. Who knew if she was daydreaming or memorizing? Everyone has a different way of memorizing.

Let’s do this for now, and then correct her if she doesn’t get good grades.

The boring class ended, and Zhou Xiang walked to the podium. "Thank you all for your testimony. If you need to go to the bathroom, go, and come back quickly. I'm going to treat everyone to popsicles. Would Xue Zhendong be willing to run an errand? Just buy fifty-three popsicles. Some people don't deserve it."

Xue Zhendong nodded, "I'm happy to help."

"Thank you!" Zhou Xiang handed him five yuan. "Buy the one with cream or red bean paste. Whichever is more expensive."

“Ohhhh!”

There were cheers in the class, accompanied by the sound of table covers slapping.

"Hurry, let's go to the bathroom."

"Run."

Xue Zhendong brought two classmates and picked up the iron bucket behind them. There were too many popsicles and they were too cold. They couldn’t just carry them all back, right?

Wan Jing's face turned blue with anger. "You just have a little bit of money, right? Why are you showing off? And you're treating everyone to popsicles? If you can, treat them every day!"

"If you promise to pay for the medical treatment of any classmate who has diarrhea, I promise to treat you every day."

"You? Show off!"

"What's it to you whether I show off or not? You used to say I was a country bumpkin and looked down on me, and now you say I'm showing off because I'm rich. Do you hate the rich or the poor?

Or, no matter what I look like, you can always find a reason to deal with me, for example, taking advantage of the teacher and delaying everyone's class time?"

The classmates responded immediately.

"Yes, you delayed everyone for ten minutes. If you don't learn, everyone else will!"

"Yes, the teacher must have left some parts unfinished. It's all because of you that we've been delayed. If we can't keep up with the other classes, how are we going to handle the exam?"

Those who can enter Class 1 are basically good students who love to study. Even if they have to work hard because they are afraid of their parents, they are still good students.

It's not bad to use everyone to suppress her. I'm not interested in fighting with her every day like a mad dog.

Xue Zhendong and his classmates carried the iron bucket back, placed it on the podium, and returned the change to Zhou Xiang.

Everyone hurried forward to get a popsicle. Class was about to start and they were feeling a little sleepy, so a popsicle was enough to help them get through the day.

The students who went to the toilet also hurried back.

"Oh! Just right! Come on, give me one."

"Have you washed your hands?"

"I washed it."
