Make an agreement

Zou Weichen glanced at the head teacher on the podium and got her consent before he stood up and walked towards the classroom door. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed the back of the classroom and turned his head.

Shan Yun smiled and nodded at him, and waved to say hello. A gleam of light flashed in Zou Weichen's eyes, and then he went out.

After everyone was seated, the head teacher came to the middle of the podium and wrote his name on the blackboard.

"My name is Ling Li, and I'm your homeroom teacher. First of all, welcome everyone to Class 17. The class divisions this time are basically fixed. Without special reasons, there will be no large-scale class divisions. So I would like to remind students who did well in the exam not to be complacent. This unified exam was designed to boost everyone's morale, so the questions are very easy, less than one-third of the difficulty of the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is the final exam that determines your fate. There is still more than a year left, and only by consolidating and improving can you win. Students who have regressed should not be discouraged. Although Class 17 is not the best class, it is also a key class for the grade, and it is also a class that is aiming for key universities and the first-tier line..."

The same teachings as always, Dan Yun just realized how pleasant Lao Zhao's chattering was. This new head teacher talked about grades, rankings, college entrance examinations, and universities every three sentences, which made people dizzy and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she felt that talking too much was a waste of time. After explaining some rules, she asked the students to introduce themselves. After the introduction, she didn't say any more nonsense. She just said, "Let's study," and left the classroom.

The bell rang for the end of class. Shan Yun stretched and was about to talk to Jixiang when Jiang Zhe appeared at the window.

"You move so fast."

Jiang Zhe laughed and said, "I came from the study room, it's close."

After this class division, the South Building became the building where the liberal arts classes and specialty classes were located, and the North Building became the building where the science classes were located. Jiang Zhe's classroom went out the back door, passed the study room, and reached Class 17.

Zou Weichen returned to the classroom only after evening self-study ended, packed up his things and left.

Two days before Shan Yun was assigned to Class 17, Zou Weichen was basically called out, from the current class teacher, the former class teacher, to the grade leader, and the directors of the Political Education Department and the Academic Affairs Office.

Some rumors also began to spread.

"Jixiang, why is Zou Weichen always called out? Did he do something wrong?" When Zou Weichen was called out again, Shan Yun finally couldn't help but ask.

Jixiang glanced around, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the teachers are trying to understand the reason why Zou Weichen missed the English test."

"Isn't it just that you missed the exam? It's inevitable to encounter emergencies and get sick." Although Shan Yun's guess was not for this reason, he didn't need to speak out his guess, lest it be misunderstood by others and become a rumor.

After all, this top science student is a hot topic.

"That's different. The Unified Examination is very important to us. Zou Weichen is the top scorer in the college entrance examination and came back to repeat the exam. The school must pay attention to his score. And when he came to class the next day, he had a wound on his neck. The school suspected that he was bullied that day."

Is there anyone who can bully him?

If he hadn't accidentally seen Zou Weichen hitting the sandbag, he would have definitely believed Jixiang's words. But being able to punch and kick like that, his fighting ability should be pretty good.

"I also heard that the school plans to send Zou Weichen back to the special class."

Special classes?

Shan Yun roughly knew that after the M High School was divided into classes, the classes were basically divided into levels: special classes, key classes, ordinary classes, and specialty classes.

The special class has one class each in the liberal arts and science departments. The classrooms are on the fifth floor of the west building. Basically, the students are the top 30 students in the grade. Their goal is to get into the top universities in the country, such as Q University and B University.

The special classes gather the best teachers in the school and implement the most systematic and rigorous teaching management. Students in the special classes have many privileges, such as private dormitories, special windows in the cafeteria, extended evening self-study time, etc.

Zou Weichen was previously a top-scoring student from the gifted class.

Ever since the last time the two of them met on the windowsill, Shan Yun would open the curtains and windows before going to bed, so that if he encountered something he didn't understand while doing the questions, he could ask Zou Weichen directly when he saw him.

Although the two of them didn't meet much at the window sill.

Shan Yun sat in the chair, not reading as usual, but leaning back, swaying from side to side, occasionally glancing across.

"Wei Chen."

Zou Weichen had just come out of the shower and was hanging up his clothes when Shan Yun called him. He came to the window sill, wiped his hair with a towel, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well, I've seen you being called by the teacher these past two days, so..." Shan Yun was waiting to ask about this matter, "I heard that they were asking why you missed the English test."

Zou Weichen nodded.

Shan Yun climbed up to the windowsill and sat down.

"Is your absence related to the wound on your neck?"

Zou Weichen saw Shan Yun staring at his neck, so he raised his hand and touched his neck. The scars had disappeared. He did not answer Shan Yun's question.

"Is it inconvenient to tell?" Shan Yun realized that he seemed to have asked too abruptly. He had looked for the school several times but got no result. How could Zou Weichen tell him?

Zou Weichen was silent.

The situation suddenly came to a stalemate.

Sure enough, the question was too abrupt. Shan Yun sighed inwardly. Sometimes he was so inconsiderate and didn't consider other people's perspectives.

"I am always curious about other people's affairs and ask questions even though I am afraid of others asking about my own affairs. Alas, I am also afraid of others asking about my parents' divorce."

Shan Yun chuckled a few times and was about to get down from the windowsill. "You don't have to tell me, I was just curious, hahahaha, go to bed early."

"It's nothing, it's a family matter. My brother-in-law got drunk and beat my sister, and I stopped him, so I missed the exam. I didn't want to say it because I didn't want the school to get involved in my family affairs and I didn't want others to be dragged into it."

Shan Yun turned around in surprise and saw Zou Weichen looking at him. Although he spoke very calmly, Shan Yun could still see the sadness under the anger in his eyes.

It turned out that the quarrel that morning came from his house.

Although Shan Yun's gaze fell on Zou Weichen's face, the light in his eyes was dimmed. He tried to imagine the scene at that time through Zou Weichen's expression, but he couldn't imagine it, and finally returned to the scene of his parents quarreling.

Alas, every family has its own problems.

"I'm talking about my family's affairs, why are you sighing?" Zou Weichen suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "This is a secret, I'm only telling you."

Shan Yun was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he replied, "Is that what you told me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell others?" He sat back and leaned against the window.

"Maybe. I believe you."

He said this so sincerely, and he believed him after only a few interactions.

Shan Yun felt very satisfied, which was rare for him. He was more satisfied than when others called him Young Master. He looked up at the night sky and said, "For your trust in me, it will be a secret between us until the moment we are buried."

After Shan Yun finished speaking, he looked at Zou Weichen. Seeing that he was surprised and wanted to speak, he immediately showed a big smile and said, "I'm just kidding. It's not as serious as being buried. But I won't tell anyone."

Zou Weichen nodded.

"Hey." Shan Yun turned around and sat facing Zou Weichen. "We agreed to tutor each other before, and now we are in the same class. We can ask each other questions during breaks. If there is something we can't solve, we can continue here when we come back. This is also a secret between the two of us."

Zou Weichen didn't say anything, just looked at Shan Yun who was talking to himself and nodded.

"It's a deal then, don't go back on your word." Shan Yun stretched out his hand.

Zou Weichen looked at the hand that Shan Yun stretched out, then looked at the other party, hesitated, stretched out his hand, nodded and said: "Yes."

Under the night sky, the two young men held hands and made a pact.

Zou Weichen was called in for a talk again.

Shan Yun supported his head and twirled the pen while writing the questions. He remembered that Zou Weichen told him the secret last night and said he believed him. Shan Yun felt very satisfied last night, but now he felt under great pressure again.

He just carried a person's secret, a classmate's secret, and the key point was that he couldn't tell anyone.

"Shan Yun, please go out for a moment." The physics teacher walked out of the classroom and suddenly shouted when he came back.

Shan Yun's pen flew out of his hand with a "clang", rolled a few times on the table, and then fell to the ground, making a crisp sound in the quiet classroom.

Why are you looking for him suddenly?

Did the school know that he knew Zou Weichen’s secret?

Jixiang saw Shan Yun was in a daze, with surprise, confusion, and nervousness on his face. He bent down to help Shan Yun pick up the pen, and while putting it on his desk, he asked, "It seems that Teacher Zhao is looking for you. Why is he looking for you?"

Shan Yun glanced at the pen that Jixiang put back on the table, shrugged, stood up and walked out of the classroom, and found that Lao Zhao was really standing in the corridor waiting for him.

"Old Zhao, are you looking for me?"

Old Zhao smiled and walked over to hold Shan Yun's shoulders, "Let's go to the office and talk."

Shan Yun's face was full of doubt, but he could only follow obediently.

If you really ask about Zou Weichen, he won't mention it at all.

He has promised others.

Shan Yun stood at the door of the office and sighed. He still disliked coming to the office as always, but less than two months after coming here, he had already been called by Lao Zhao several times.

They attracted a little attention when they entered, but everyone's attention quickly returned to the corner at the back of the office.

Shan Yun looked over curiously.

There was a person standing in the corner of the office, and Teacher Ling was sitting in front of that person and saying something.

The man was wearing a school uniform jacket and was dressed neatly, but his thin back could still be seen.

Shit, he’s really here too. Why do I run into him every time I come to the office? Can it really be because of him?

Shan Yun complained in his heart and followed Lao Zhao to his desk.

"Shan Yun, pull up a stool and sit here." Old Zhao just sat down and gave an instruction before opening the cabinet to look for something.

Hearing Lao Zhao's voice, Zou Weichen in the corner looked over and happened to meet Shan Yun's eyes. Although there was not much reaction on his face, Shan Yun still noticed that the corner of his mouth twitched.

Shan Yun gave him a firm look, then lazily pulled over a chair next to him and sat down.

"Is there any special reason why you can't tell the teacher? You see, Director Huang and the others came to you specifically because they are worried that you will be bullied outside of school. Don't worry, the school will help you solve the problem."

After hearing what Teacher Ling said, Zou Weichen withdrew his gaze and stood obediently.

"Do you know that the leaders are very concerned about your review? With your ability, there is no problem in the special class. But when Director Huang came to you yesterday, you didn't want to say anything..."

Lao Zhao is always slow in doing things. He searched his entire desk for something but still couldn't find it.

Teacher Ling's words made Shan Yun unconsciously raise his ears to eavesdrop.

"Do you know that the Unified Examination is very important? Let me ask you again, why did you miss the English test?"

Zou Weichen just lowered his head slightly, like a child who felt guilty after being criticized for making a mistake.

Both parties were silent.
