Chapter 31: Retirement
The workload was so overwhelming that the beauty magazine was quickly forgotten. Even though it was already one o'clock in the morning, Xie Ting still stubbornly returned to his place at the Chu family's residence and did not stay in Chu Chenghuan's bed.
It wasn't that he was taking precautions, but rather that he was always woken up by the heat after falling asleep. Chu Chenghuan's sleeping posture was very bad now. He was fine before going to bed, but after falling asleep, he kept squeezing him and pushed him to the corner of the bed.
Xie Ting talked earnestly about Chu Chenghuan's sleeping posture.
Chu Chenghuan looked strange and called him a "fool". Chu Chenghuan hadn't called him stupid for a long time, and Xie Ting actually felt a little nostalgic when he heard the word "fool".
Tsk.
He is such a pervert.
Friday.
Xie Ting yawned and stuffed his schoolbag under the table. Lin Tang followed him, telling him a gossip: "Tong Hao just went to the office and overheard Lao Wang say that they'll be checking for cell phones and confiscating anyone with one. Xie Ting, if you have one, give it to Tong Hao quickly. He'll give it to his friend in the next class and ask him to collect it."
"I didn't bring it."
Lin Tang: "Don't hide it yourself. Lao Wang will turn your schoolbag upside down."
Xie Ting really didn’t bring it.
"Ever since he told us not to use cell phones last time, I haven't brought one." Xie Ting has always been a person who respects teachers. Since the teacher gave the order, he did it.
"Okay."
Xie Ting turned around and asked Chu Chenghuan, "Did you bring your cell phone?"
Chu Chenghuan said calmly: "He won't check me."
Yes, Chu Chenghuan's family has invested in a library. Still accepting Chu Chenghuan's phone is really too much!
Xie Ting lay down on the table again: "Then I'll take a nap. When Lao Wang comes, you can poke me."
Xie Ting was really sleepy.
Chu Chenghuan felt a little sorry for Xie Ting. He didn't remind the homeroom teacher immediately, hoping to let Xie Ting sleep a little longer. When Teacher Wang walked to the podium, Chu Chenghuan was about to poke Xie Ting, but Teacher Wang had already spoken: "Everyone, line up in the corridor according to your seating order."
Xie Ting sat up as if he had pretended to be dead and woke up.
Those in the class who hadn't heard the gossip walked out in a daze. Hu Yaqin was still calling out to Xie Ting, "Xie Ting, I heard they're going to check your phone. Do you have your phone with you?"
Everyone thought he would bring his cell phone, but he didn't.
Xie Ting cleared his throat and said, "I didn't bring it."
Hu Yaqin smiled and said, "That's fine. Otherwise, if you lose your phone, you won't be able to contact Chu Chenghuan."
Xie Ting:?
Are these two necessary?
Currently, the students are checked in groups of four. When checking backpacks, the four students with their own backpacks are called in, and Teacher Wang checks the bags in front of them. During this check, two mobile phones were actually found.
"I told you to sprint quickly, sprint quickly. You are not allowed to bring your cell phone, but you turned a deaf ear to my words?" Old Wang was cursing inside. Xie Ting had nothing to do with it, because he didn't bring his cell phone!
But Xie Ting soon lost his composure. Lao Wang not only checked his phone, but also the romance novels in his schoolbag.
"All you do all day is read this kind of novel. You're going to take the college entrance exam soon, don't you know? Can't you focus on studying?" Lao Wang scolded again, "I won't invite your parents this time. If I catch you again, I'll have a serious talk with them."
Xie Ting seemed to have remembered something and turned around to ask Chu Chenghuan nervously, "Do you remember where I put that beauty magazine?"
Chu Chenghuan really didn't know, but seeing Xie Ting's expression, Chu Chenghuan was suspicious: "Is it in the schoolbag?"
Xie Ting had a sad face. He seemed to have casually put it in his schoolbag last night. "But it should be okay, right? Xu Qin only got scolded a few times. Just scold me."
Chu Chenghuan reminded soberly: "Her one is a romance novel, yours is a pornographic magazine. The situations are probably different."
Xie Ting retorted quietly: "That's an art magazine!"
Chu Chenghuan: "It's no use arguing with me. Teacher Wang also thinks that what you said is art."
Xie Ting clenched his fists.
Lao Wang, will you be on the same wavelength with him?
Lao Wang, are you someone who appreciates beauty?
Soon, Xie Ting, Chu Chenghuan, Tong Hao and Lin Tang came in and had their bags checked.
Tong Hao and Lin Tang were both relaxed. They had given their phones to a friend in the next class beforehand. However, Lin Tang noticed Xie Ting's worried look and, while Lao Wang was searching Tong Hao's bag, he whispered, "Are you acting?"
Xie Ting: “…”
"No, I think I'm done."
Lin Tang didn't understand, but soon he understood and was shocked. Lao Wang took out an old magazine from Xie Ting's schoolbag, but the cover of the magazine was a woman in revealing clothes.
After Lao Wang took it out, he was stunned for a long time without saying anything. He casually and silently stuffed the magazine into the bag where he kept his phone. He glanced at Xie Ting and said, "Wait for me in the office."
Xie Ting went to the office obediently, while the students outside were still unaware of the situation.
Seven fifty in the morning.
Mr. Xie was called to school by his son's class teacher. The teacher didn't say what his son Tingting had done wrong, but he said, "Dad Xie Ting, you really have to come to school. Xie Ting's current behavior is seriously affecting the class atmosphere!"
The only thing Xie's father could think of was that Tingting was playing with her phone in class, but with the young master watching over her, there was no way Tingting would be playing with her phone in class. When he arrived at his son's homeroom teacher's office, Xie's father saw the familiar old, vulgar magazine on the teacher's desk. His eyes went dark, and he understood everything.
Tingting, it hasn’t changed!
Xie Ting was as obedient as a quail at the side. Old Wang said sternly, "Xie Ting's father, when I saw this magazine in class, I really didn't dare let the other students know. It was so embarrassing! I didn't say much when I saw it at home. Xie Ting's grades have indeed improved a lot. But he brought it to school. You know your son's personality. He brought it to school to share. But is this kind of magazine allowed to be shared in school?"
Father Xie bowed and nodded, "Tingting did something wrong. I will deal with him when I get back."
Seeing that Xie's father was cooperating, Old Wang softened his attitude. "The college entrance exam is only a few months away. Xie Ting's father, I'm not making a fuss. Xie Ting is very popular in the class. If he were to take the lead in reading this kind of magazine, the atmosphere of the entire second class would be distorted. How would they still be able to focus on the college entrance exam? I have to be responsible for my students."
Thank you, Dad, for understanding.
After Xie's father spoke to Xie Ting's homeroom teacher about Xie Ting's academic performance, Old Wang finally let them go. Xie Ting hesitated and tried to take his beauty magazine back, but as soon as his hand touched the table, Xie's father slapped the back of his hand.
Xie Ting didn't dare anymore.
Lao Wang said, "The magazine was confiscated, but you still want to take it home to read?"
Xie Ting could only shake his head. Xie Ting had completely disgraced Xie's father!
After leaving the office, Xie Ting tugged at his father's clothes and said pitifully, "Dad, didn't I say I didn't read your letter?"
Xie's father looked very sad and said, "I really gave birth to a dirty thing."
Seeing his father like this, Xie Ting felt really wronged: "But I really didn't see it. Young Master can testify for me."
Father Xie slapped Xie Ting on the head. "You still want the young master to lie for you? Tingting, tell me the truth. What have you used your phone for over the past year?"
Xie Ting: "...I'm just playing games and replying to messages. Dad, I'm your son. Don't you trust your son at all?"
Xie's father originally believed it, but he asked Tingting to throw away the magazine when she was five years old. Later, when she graduated from the high school entrance examination, he found a copy and asked Tingting to throw it away again.
This time, there is actually another one.
That was the day Tingting turned five, and she was reluctant to throw away those obscene magazines!
Father Xie rubbed his brows and stopped outside the teaching building. "Go back to class. My son doesn't have any other bad habits except being a bit lustful. But Tingting, you have to remember, people can be lustful, but they can't be lustful without a bottom line, okay?"
Xie Ting is truly innocent to the extreme.
"Dad, I'm just greedy and not lustful!"
Xie's father warned, "In two months, you'll be eighteen and an adult. Tingting, we shouldn't do anything illegal or criminal. If you really like reading obscene magazines, I'll buy them for you after the college entrance exams!"
Xie Ting saw compromise in Xie's father's eyes.
Xie Ting: “…”
But he really doesn't like to watch it! He is really innocent!
"Did you hear that?"
Xie Ting had no way to prove his innocence and could only hum in frustration, "I understand. I won't do anything illegal or criminal."
Having settled for the second best, Mr. Xie left the school with relief.
Xie Ting was extremely upset. Who could be more innocent than him? He just wanted Chu Chenghuan to take a look, but Chu Chenghuan didn't even read it, and he got himself into trouble.
After returning to the classroom, except for Chu Chenghuan, Lin Tang and Tong Hao all came over curiously.
Tong Hao: "Is that magazine your father's?"
Xie Ting naturally wouldn't slander his father, "Mine."
Tong Hao was surprised: "You still read this kind of magazine?"
Xie Ting seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, "Do you trust me not to look?"
Tong Hao believed Xie Ting was also gay, so she asked as a matter of course, "Why are you reading that kind of magazine?"
Just as Xie Ting was feeling touched that someone actually believed him, Tong Hao added, "You should be reading those macho men's magazines, right?"
Xie Ting looked ashen.
"Get out of here." Xie Ting cursed.
Tong Hao turned back after he finished his act. Lin Tang reached out and patted Xie Ting on the shoulder, comforting him: "It's all over."
Xie Ting turned his head and approached Chu Chenghuan's table with a resentful look, and asked in a long voice: "Chu Chenghuan, do you have anything to say?"
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyes slightly, "Are you going to settle accounts with me? I didn't buy this magazine."
Xie Ting raised his eyes and cried, "But who am I doing this for? You have no conscience."
Chu Chenghuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Xie Ting said angrily, "I should have explained it when I was five years old. No one will believe me now! I don't even have a single beauty magazine left. Master, I've been deeply wronged. Please accompany me to eat some cake tonight. I'll treat you."
The cake card was also a gift from Chu Chenghuan to Xie Ting.
Chu Chenghuan stared at the furry head under his eyelids and couldn't help but rub it. It was so cute, it had to be his.
Chu Chenghuan said: "I'll accompany you, stop acting like a spoiled child."
Xie Ting:?
He's angry, okay?
