"Ding-ling-ling..."
Du Chen was laughing when the bell rang. Du Chen stood up and walked to his seat. As soon as Du Chen sat down, he saw Zhao Pengfei peeking in from outside the classroom.
Du Chen glanced at Zhao Pengfei and then shifted his gaze away. Seeing that Du Chen was no longer staring at him, Zhao Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat.
"Li Qiang, what did Du Chen say to you just now while he was sitting here with me?"
Zhao Pengfei looked at Li Qiang expectantly. He had just been secretly observing Du Chen outside the class. He saw Du Chen and Li Qiang chatting for a long time. Now Zhao Pengfei was eager to know what Du Chen had just said to Li Qiang.
"Zhao Pengfei, take care of yourself!"
Seeing that the teacher had not come over yet, Li Qiang patted Zhao Pengfei on the shoulder and said to Zhao Pengfei with a heavy face.
"Fuck, take care of yourself? What did Du Chen say to you? Li Qiang, tell me now!"
Zhao Pengfei suddenly felt his heart beating faster and prayed to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang didn't say anything, but just stretched out two fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.
"Okay, two breakfasts! I agree. What did Du Chen say?"
Zhao Pengfei said to Li Qiang with a painful look on his face.
"Zhao Pengfei, you've really offended Du Chen this time. Why are you so talkative?"
Li Qiang said to Zhao Pengfei with a look of dismay.
"Hey, you know my mouth is faster than my brain! I just said it without thinking! And I regretted it the minute I said it!"
Zhao Pengfei said to Li Qiang bitterly.
"Hey, you should work on changing your bad habits! Du Chen just went to see the homeroom teacher..."
"Why are you looking for the homeroom teacher?"
As soon as Zhao Pengfei finished speaking, the head teacher walked into the classroom. The class was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at the head teacher in surprise. This class was not the head teacher's class, so why was the head teacher here?
"Zhao Pengfei! I'm here to inform you that you will cooperate with Du Chen. Du Chen's performance will be singing and playing the guitar, so you will dance with him!"
The head teacher finished speaking, not even bothering to look at Zhao Pengfei's expression. He gestured to the teacher outside the door and left. Zhao Pengfei sat in his seat with a frozen expression, then turned to Li Qiang in disbelief.
"Li Qiang, did the homeroom teacher just ask me to dance with Du Chen?"
"Well... take care..."
Li Qiang saw the Chinese teacher standing on the podium and squeezed out three words from his mouth.
Zhao Pengfei didn't care that the Chinese teacher was standing above him. He turned around and looked at Du Chen again. As soon as his sight fell on Du Chen, he saw Du Chen turned his head and gave Zhao Pengfei a sinister smile. Zhao Pengfei was startled and immediately turned back to look at the textbook, not daring to look at Du Chen again. However, Zhao Pengfei's whole head was buzzing, and the word "backup dancer" kept circling in his mind.
"Zhao Pengfei, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qiang asked Zhao Pengfei in a low voice without saying a word.
Zhao Pengfei didn't raise his head or say a word. He just sat there blankly with lifeless eyes, thinking about how to refuse the task of being a backup dancer.
Until school was over at noon, Zhao Pengfei had not figured out how to refuse the class teacher's proposal.
"Zhao Pengfei, run, why don't you run?"
Du Chen stood next to Zhao Pengfei, who was still in a daze.
“Ah… what…”
Zhao Pengfei stared at Du Chen blankly, then he reacted and prepared to run out, but Du Chen grabbed his collar.
"Du Chen, why are you holding me? Go home quickly, it's getting late!"
Zhao Pengfei smiled at Du Chen and asked Du Chen to let him go first.
"There's no rush to go home. Let's talk while we walk. First, tell me what you meant this morning. You sold me out pretty quickly. Did you enjoy it?"
Du Chen questioned Zhao Pengfei.
"Shuang... No, Du Chen, listen to me!"
Zhao Pengfei once again showed Du Chen and Li Qiang what it means to speak faster than your brain.
"What are you talking about? It seems you are quite proud of yourself. You dare to say that in front of me."
Du Chen looked at Zhao Pengfei and felt both angry and amused. You say he is a coward, but sometimes he is quite brave. You praise him for his courage, but in a short while he becomes a coward again.
"Really, Du Chen, I didn't mean it. Listen to me, you know I just talk faster than I think! I blurted it out without even thinking! Please forgive me!"
Zhao Pengfei looked at Du Chen flatteringly, hoping that Du Chen would let him go.
"It's not impossible to forgive you!"
Du Chen touched his chin and said to Zhao Pengfei.
"Du Chen, tell me what your conditions are! I will definitely do it!"
Zhao Pengfei assured Du Chen. Li Qiang on the side felt it was too shameful to watch. He had fallen into the trap again. As expected, Du Chen's next words confirmed Li Qiang's guess.
"Well, the homeroom teacher has already said, I'll sing and you'll dance! So just dance with me and finish the performance with me, and let this matter go!"
Du Chen said to Zhao Pengfei in a pretentious manner.
"Du Chen, can we discuss this further?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen in a low voice.
"What are you discussing? There's nothing to discuss! Besides, it was your homeroom teacher who asked you to dance with him. Why don't you go discuss it with him?"
Du Chen threatened Zhao Pengfei with a cold face.
“That…that…”
"Okay, it's happily decided! I'll sing and you dance! I'm leaving first, my brother is waiting up ahead..."
Du Chen saw Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao standing at the school gate. He said something to Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang, then walked quickly towards the school gate without even looking at Zhao Pengfei, whose face was extremely gloomy.
……………………
"This doesn't make sense!"
Zhao Pengfei and Li Qiang beside him complained.
"What's unreasonable?"
"The homeroom teacher asked me to dance with him! Do you think this is reasonable?"
Zhao Pengfei complained angrily.
"Hey, Zhao Pengfei, let me tell you something in private. Don't talk nonsense. Just shut up tight this time!"
Li Qiang's eyes rolled and he thought of something interesting.
"What? Tell me now, I'm sure I won't lie!"
When Zhao Pengfei heard that Li Qiang was going to tell a secret, he forgot his immediate worries and asked Li Qiang with shining eyes.
"Do you want to know why the homeroom teacher asked you to dance with him?"
Li Qiang said mysteriously.
"Well, how, you know? Tell me quickly!"
"I'm telling you in secret. It was Du Chen who went to the homeroom teacher's office and proposed this to the homeroom teacher! If you want Du Chen to perform on stage, you must cooperate with him and be his backup dancer!"
Li Qiang secretly hoped that Du Chen and Zhao Pengfei would hurt each other again, so that he could watch the fun. Thinking of this, Li Qiang almost laughed out loud.
"What? How could this happen?!"
Zhao Pengfei asked Li Qiang absentmindedly.
"You can't blame Du Chen. It was you who started the trouble in the first place! Now the revenge is coming!"
"Yeah, I'm so stupid! Really, I'm so stupid! I only remember that Du Chen can play guitar and sing, but I don't remember that Du Chen is vindictive. I'm so stupid! Li Qiang, I'm so stupid!"
