还好，小兔崽子对上老王八，也是相得益彰。
偏偏洛九江还不罢口，眼见洛沧脸『色』发黑，仍然继续撩拨。他装模作样地拱了拱手，煞有其事道：“先生真乃我辈楷模，音杀这功课太简单，不足先生本领万分之一。不用别的，只要先生手指缝里透出点敝帚自珍的功力，能够小子吃一辈子的。”
洛沧：“……”
少年人锋利的神情和中年人阴沉的眉目冷然碰撞。两人四目相对，僵持了片刻后，洛沧冷笑一声，自己把那预备好的夸奖连着标点符号都吃回了肚子。他猛地一甩袖子，重重的拍了一下轮椅。那轮椅便不堪重负的嘎吱了一声，掉了个头直接从学堂里走了。
Seeing Luo Cang leave, Luo Jiujiang calmed down and put the gong into his storage bag. The school was completely silent, and everyone stared at each other in amazement. The sound of Luo Jiujiang's movements became even louder.
Luo Qi hesitated for a moment, then rubbed against Luo Jiujiang and said, "Brother Jiu, this... the gentleman is leaving now?" He was just angered and left?
"Can he just leave like that?" Luo Jiujiang curled his lips. "From my perspective, he's a mean-spirited person. I'll be surprised if he doesn't find a reason to punish me soon. Ah Qi, tell Qian Ling later. If it's a light punishment, ask him to bring me a meal. If it's a heavy punishment... ask him to work hard and help me pick that herb. I think it might be useful."
"Medicine?" Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, realizing that this was something he shouldn't be asking. He nodded quickly, then hesitated, "Brother Luo, if there's a severe punishment, shouldn't we inform the old lady?" "So that your grandma can be so kind and come to the rescue?"
"No need," Luo Jiujiang said succinctly. Seeing the puzzled look on Luo Qi's face, he explained, "This is just a small matter of me disrupting class. A beating will be enough. If I invite my grandmother over, it'll be too much of a commotion, and word will spread far and wide, which won't do Qianling any good."
The root of this misfortune lay with Han Qianling. A small matter had escalated into something bigger. Luo Jiujiang might have been fine with some gossip behind his back, as he was known for his open-mindedness and never took it to heart. But Han Qianling's background and the rumors about him being a "bastard" were bound to be a source of gossip for a while. Luo Jiujiang didn't want to see that happen, even if Han Qianling was more forgiving.
Luo Qi opened his mouth to say something more, but the supervisor walked in from the wide-open door. He pointed at Luo Jiujiang and said, "You are disrespectful to your teachers and disruptive to the order. You will be punished by standing in silence for three days and repenting."
The punishment is quite light. Luo Jiujiang raised an eyebrow in surprise and followed the supervisor out of the classroom. Before leaving, he patted Luo Qi on the shoulder, indicating that he should tell Han Qianling as he had just instructed.
————————
Han Qianling saw from afar Luo Jiujiang's back as he stood in the scorching sun as punishment.
There were many rules for standing in the classroom. They emphasized solemnity, upright posture, and deep self-reflection. Often, afterward, students were required to recite a "Self-Examination." However, Luo Jiujiang stood with such casual abandon that any supervisor who saw him would leap over and smack him with a stick.
Han Qianling didn't realize it, but the corners of his lips curved up the moment he saw Luo Jiujiang. He fished a peanut from his sleeve, crushed the sandy shell, and lifted a peanut kernel between his fingertips. With a forceful flex, the peanut seemed to have eyes and flew towards the back of Luo Jiujiang's head.
Just as the peanut was about to pop against Luo Jiujiang's head, he suddenly turned around and stretched his neck slowly. His dark pink tongue curled in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the peanut fell into his mouth.
After chewing it twice, Luo Jiujiang smiled at Han Qianling and said, "It tastes good. Feed me another one."
There was indeed a peanut in Han Qianling's palm. He looked up at Luo Jiujiang, smiled, and without hesitation, slapped the peanut into his mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious."
There was a hint of mischief and amusement in both of their eyes. They looked at each other for a moment and laughed in unison.
"Jiujiang." Han Qianling walked towards Luo Jiujiang and asked him, "There's a question I've been curious about for a long time. If someone made iron lotus seeds into the shape of peanuts, would you just swallow them without thinking?"
"Forget the iron lotus seeds. If I don't know anyone for no reason, even if they gave me a real peanut, would I really eat it?" Luo Jiujiang laughed. "If I want to eat food from a stranger, peanuts won't be enough. I have to give chestnuts at least... Well, speaking of chestnuts, I'm really hungry. Qianling, is there anything to eat?"
