Chapter 85 No, I don't deserve to sleep with you
Su Heng remained expressionless. "No."
"Still denying it? I saw it perfectly. I grabbed the mop handle. If you hadn't moved your hand, how could I have grabbed it?"
Mu Guangcheng grabbed Su Hengyi's hand and held it up in front of Su Hengyi's eyes.
Su Heng asked matter-of-factly, "How long do you plan to hold on?"
"I......"
Mu Guangcheng gripped Su Hengyi's hand tightly, looking into his eyes as if gathering his courage to blurt something out.
But he was quickly overcome by reason, and finally, he slowly released his hand.
She stubbornly insisted, "It was clearly you who wanted me to hold it."
Su Hengyi suddenly grabbed Mu Guangcheng's hand, their fingers intertwined tightly. He looked at Mu Guangcheng very seriously and said, "This is what I think."
Mu Guangcheng glanced out the window instinctively, like a thief, and pulled his hand outwards. "Let go."
Su Hengyi wouldn't let him break free; he gripped her even tighter.
They took another step forward, closing in on Mu Guangcheng.
Mu Guangcheng was forced to retreat, bumping into tables and chairs.
The next second, Su Heng's cool lips landed on Mu Guangcheng's Adam's apple.
Mu Guangcheng bit his lip and tilted his head slightly, "Su Hengyi..."
Su Hengyi raised his head slightly, his eyes burning as he looked at Mu Guangcheng. At this distance, it seemed as if he would be unable to control himself and kiss him at any moment.
Su Hengyi braced his other hand on the desk, then tightened it forcefully, his knuckles turning white.
His voice, hoarse with suppressed emotion, said, "Mu Guangcheng, don't flirt with me."
He paused, then lowered his head and rested his forehead on Mu Guangcheng's shoulder, as if it were a great difficulty for him to say, "If you don't love me, then don't flirt with me."
Mu Guangcheng's body stiffened, and he remained silent.
Su Heng released Mu Guangcheng's hand and left, saying, "I'm sorry."
Mu Guangcheng's lips moved slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, Shi Nianzhi walked in from the back classroom door, shaking his dry hair.
His eyes lit up when he saw Mu Guangcheng. "Boss, you're back?"
Mu Guangcheng said he would treat him to a good meal, but he hadn't eaten lunch and was still hungry.
Shi Nianzhi walked up to Mu Guangcheng and asked tactfully, "Boss, have you had lunch yet?"
Mu Guangcheng's mind wasn't on this at all. He looked at Su Hengyi, who was mopping the floor with his head down, and gave a perfunctory reply, "I ate."
Shi Nianzhi looked somewhat disappointed. "What did you eat?"
"The bento box you gave me."
"You didn't leave me any?"
Mu Guangcheng then looked down at Shi Nianzhi, as if he had remembered something, and said, "Wait a moment."
He strode out of the classroom.
Shi Nianzhi rubbed his hands together and then patted his rumbling stomach. "There's something delicious coming."
After a while, Mu Guangcheng brought over a bowl of instant noodles with mushroom and chicken stew, with a fork stuck in it, and placed it on Shi Nianzhi's table.
"Eat quickly."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Mu Guangcheng patted Shi Nianzhi's head again. "I specially chose braised chicken with mushrooms. I think you prefer milder flavors. This isn't spicy and is nutritious. Eat up. Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
The way Mu Guangcheng looked at him was as if he was saying, 'If you're not hungry, then I'll eat.'
After all, Mu Guangcheng was known for his love of food and his large appetite.
Shi Nianzhi quickly reached out to protect him, and chuckled awkwardly, "Thank you, boss, then I won't be polite."
Shi Nianzhi lowered his head and slurped up his instant noodles.
Mu Guangcheng leaned against the table watching Shi Nianzhi eat. He wanted to find a topic to talk to Su Hengyi, but then he saw Su Hengyi put on his headphones and start studying.
Having missed his chance, he could only sheepishly return home.
As soon as Su Heng saw him leave, he increased the force with his pen and poked a hole in the page.
Classes will be held in the afternoon.
Shi Nianzhi really couldn't hold on any longer. His eyelids wouldn't listen to his brain's prompting and insisted on closing, as if they were glued shut and he couldn't open them again.
Shi Nianzhi propped her chin up and nodded her head, blatantly dozing off in the front row right in front of the Chinese teacher.
The Chinese teacher wouldn't let one person delay the class's progress; she simply threw the chalk at Shi Nianzhi's head as a warning.
Su Heng pushed Shi Nianzhi with his hand.
Shi Nianzhi suddenly woke up, quickly sat up straight and listened to the lesson, and even wiped away the drool that was about to spill out.
Then, less than a minute later, he fell asleep again.
Finally, the Chinese teacher lost her temper and said, "Shi Nianzhi! Do you know what it means to have diligence as the path to the mountain of books and to take hard work as the boat to the boundless sea of learning?"
This was considered a question, so Shi Nianzhi quickly stood up.
He was very serious: "If you want to reach the mountain of books, there is only one way, and that is to take a boat like a crow."
"When you go out in the future, never say that I was your Chinese teacher. I can't bear the shame!"
The whole class burst into laughter.
Shi Nianzhi dodged the chalk thrown at him by the Chinese teacher and lowered his head in slight embarrassment.
The Chinese teacher slammed her hand on the podium, her expression serious. "Is it funny? Isn't it really funny?!"
The class fell silent again, but some couldn't help but stifle a couple of laughs.
The Chinese teacher slammed her book down and yelled, "You go stand in the last row and stay after school. I'm going to call your parents!"
Shi Nianzhi slunk away to the back.
The Chinese teacher then said, "Hengyi, you tell Shi Nianzhi what these two sentences mean. You all need to listen carefully! Especially you, Shi Nianzhi, if I ask you in class tomorrow and you still can't answer, you'll be punished by copying them a hundred times!"
Su Heng stood up and said in a clear, cold voice, "In my personal understanding, diligence is the path to success, and hard work is the ship that takes you to the other side of success. There are no shortcuts. If you are diligent and hardworking, you will find the scriptures in the mountain of books and the other side of the sea of learning."
"Yes, very good."
The Chinese teacher was very pleased.
After school, Shi Nianzhi was called to the front of the classroom. The Chinese teacher took out her phone and said, "Give me your parents' phone number. I need to contact them."
Shi Nianzhi didn't want her parents to worry about her studies. Her assistant had written Lu Jiunian's phone number on the back of her school card, so Shi Nianzhi read it aloud.
The Chinese teacher dialed the number, then frowned after a while, "Why aren't you answering the phone? Is this your father's or your mother's?"
"Dad's."
"What about Mom's?"
"My mom doesn't have a cell phone."
"Don't try to fool me!"
"Why don't you call again later? Sometimes he's busy and doesn't answer the phone."
Shi Nianzhi gripped the podium with his hand, feeling extremely guilty.
Fortunately, Lu Jiunian answered the phone the second time. The Chinese teacher got straight to the point, "You are Shi Nianzhi's father, right?"
Lu Jiunian: "..."
"Hello, are you listening?"
"Um."
"It's like this, I'd like to talk to you about some issues concerning Shi Nianzhi. I wonder if this is a convenient time for you?"
"Um."
The Chinese teacher pointed out some of Shi Nianzhi's problems and urged Lu Jiunian to supervise Shi Nianzhi's studies and homework. She also said that from now on, all of Shi Nianzhi's Chinese homework would need to be signed by her parents.
Finally, after talking with Shi Nianzhi again, they let him go.
As Shi Nianzhi walked out of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back and stepped into the afterglow of the setting sun, he felt a great sense of relief.
A very stressful day of studying has come to a temporary end.
After Shi Nianzhi left, the Chinese teacher made a phone call, "Cousin?"
The person on the other end asked, "How is it?"
"I don't want to interfere too much, but the child doesn't seem to have any problems. He's just an ordinary student, and his grades are quite poor."
"You asked him if he had ever suffered a brain injury?"
"How could I ask that? But I just called his dad, and he seems quite young."
"Give me the number."
"188xxxxxxxx".
"This isn't his dad."
"Um?"
"It's nothing, I'm hanging up."
......
Lujiang Bay.
When Shi Nianzhi got home, she thought she would be scolded, but little did she know that Lu Jiunian wasn't home at all.
When Shi Nianzhi sat on the bed in the bedroom, he was holding his phone. He had sent Lu Jiunian a message asking if he was feeling better, but Lu Jiunian hadn't replied.
I wonder if she's still angry with him.
He wasn't home, and Aunt Zhang didn't know where he had gone. He was sick and still wandered around.
If my stomach hurts later, I'll blame him for poisoning me.
Seriously.
Shi Nianzhi sat on the bed, recalling Gu Yuanyuan's casual remark, "You didn't know that my Uncle Lu invited so many well-known brain specialists from home and abroad, did you?"
Is this something Gu Yuanyuan made up on purpose, or is it true?
If you lie to him, he won't fall for it, but what if it's true?
Shi Nianzhi lowered her head and called Lu Jiunian, who answered.
He asked him, "Where are you? Why aren't you back yet?"
The man's tone was somewhat indifferent. "I'll be back later."
"when?"
"I'm not sure, you should go to sleep first."
Where are you?
The man was getting impatient. "Why are you asking so many questions? What time is it?"
Shi Nianzhi suddenly asked in a serious tone, "Do you think I'm real, or fake?"
"You are made of water."
Suddenly, the image in Shi Nianzhi's mind came to life. He stammered, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, "You, I, I'm not like that."
"Why not? Shake your head."
"Oh, I shook it, what happened?"
"Is that the sound of water?"
No, that's not it.
"Didn't you translate the famous line as 'a crow on a boat'? I'm glad I'm not your father. If I were, I'd take my household registration book and sever all ties with you, so you wouldn't embarrass me everywhere."
Lu Jiunian hung up the phone.
Shi Nianzhi gripped her phone, speechless.
Is it because they think he's embarrassing?
He's so angry, doesn't he have any dignity?
He originally wanted to be principled and keep studying until Lu Jiunian returned, so that the other party could see his hard work.
But my eyelids are so uncooperative.
Finally, Shi Nianzhi laid out a blanket in the study. He was tired from studying and planned to take a nap for a few minutes.
Who knew I'd fall asleep until 2 a.m.
He could have continued sleeping, but Lu Jiunian woke him up by kicking his blanket.
The man looked down at him and said, "Why are you sleeping here again?"
Shi Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and said defiantly, "I'm not worthy to sleep with someone as smart as you. I'm afraid I'll pass on my stupidity to you."
