Chapter 24 I'll Pick You Up from School
Someone, confused, asked, "What do you mean, 'tricked'?"
Gu Yuanyuan was so angry that she slapped their heads one by one, then gritted her teeth and said, "There are security cameras in the hallway! Idiots, if even one of you had reminded me, I would have dragged him to the bathroom and beaten him up! Idiots!"
The henchmen covered their heads and rubbed them, remaining silent.
Gu Yuanyuan squatted on the flower bed in anger, his brows furrowed as if he were thinking of a strategy.
"What should we do, Yuan-ge?"
Gu Yuanyuan said in a frustrated tone, "How should I know what to do?!"
He stood up again, snapped his fingers, and said, "Never mind, let's go eat first."
After the first class in the afternoon, Mu Guangcheng slowly returned. As he passed Shi Nianzhi's desk, he tapped on it.
"come over."
Shi Nianzhi was organizing her notes when she heard this and looked up. "Where are you going?"
"My seat."
"Can't we say what we want to say here?"
Mu Guangcheng tapped Shi Nianzhi on the head, "Just come over when I tell you to, stop talking so much nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Heng, who was writing the exam paper, looked up.
Mu Guangcheng greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yi is doing his test again, you're really working hard."
Su Heng glanced briefly at Mu Guangcheng before lowering his eyes to continue writing his exam paper.
Clearly, they were leaving Mu Guangcheng hanging and had no intention of paying him any attention.
Mu Guangcheng strode nonchalantly toward his seat.
Shi Nianzhi put his notebook away neatly. Because he was sitting at the same table as Su Heng, he was afraid of being looked down upon, so he tried his best to keep his things tidy.
He even pushed the chair back properly when he left.
Shi Nianzhi walked up to Mu Guangcheng and asked him, "How was the matter handled?"
"Pay the fine, put yourself on probation, and read a 2,000-word self-criticism on Monday when the flag is raised. Do you know what 'New Year's tea' means?"
Shi Nianzhi shook his head. "A place to drink tea?"
"Milk tea shop! I need you to do something. Gu Yuanyuan was causing you trouble, so I'll have someone tell him that you made an appointment with him to meet at Sui Cha."
Shi Nianzhi immediately took a step back and shook his head, "I won't meet him."
He knew he'd get beaten up if he met them, so he couldn't even find a way to avoid them.
Mu Guangcheng looked around and then pulled Shi Nianzhi to a corner of the classroom.
He lowered his voice and said to Shi Nianzhi, "I will lead some men to ambush him there in advance. You are responsible for luring him there, and when he arrives, we will beat him up."
Shi Nianzhi was surprised, "You want to hit Gu Yuanyuan?"
"Nonsense, did you think I let him beat me up for nothing? Don't I have any pride?"
"What if the teacher catches me...?"
"If you fight outside of school, you won't be able to catch him. Let me put it this way, if you don't know Sui Cha, I'll leave someone with you after school, and you can just follow him."
Mu Guangcheng happily returned to his seat.
Shi Nianzhi clutched the hem of his school uniform. He hesitated for a long time before lingering beside Mu Guangcheng. "My dad said that fighting is always the most foolish solution."
Mu Guangcheng stared at Shi Nianzhi as if he were dumbfounded, but he was also someone who was too lazy to argue with people, especially since Shi Nianzhi's traditional and unchangeable educational philosophy was something Mu Guangcheng didn't want to waste his breath on.
He was a man of action, so he told Shi Nianzhi, "I won't let you do it. Don't worry, I won't let you be the fool."
He stood up, pressed Shi Nianzhi's shoulder, and turned him toward the podium.
With a faint smile, she said to Shi Nianzhi in a very friendly manner, "I'll play the bad guy. You go back to your seat, and just follow my instructions after school. It's that simple!"
Shi Nianzhi wanted to say something more.
Mu Guangcheng kicked him forward, "Go back to class!"
Shi Nianzhi: "......."
During the last self-study period in the afternoon, with ten minutes left before school ended, Mu Guangcheng slipped away from the last row.
Shi Nianzhi looked at the pile of papers on the table; his head was throbbing with pain.
He couldn't help but say to Su Hengyi, "Don't you think there's a lot of homework? I'm always writing until the early hours of the morning and I still can't finish, so I'm not energetic in class the next day."
Su Hengyi did not answer.
Shi Nianzhi's gaze bypassed the tall stack of books and saw Su Hengyi playing Candy Crush on his phone, looking very engrossed.
Beneath his hand was a completed math exam paper, with the solution to the last major question written in a clear and logical manner, making it easy to read.
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Sitting next to a top student is just too agonizing.
Su Hengyi stared blankly at this level for a long time. Shi Nianzhi wasn't good at studying, but he was good at games.
When he was in junior high school, after school, his classmates would often drag him to a small internet cafe and ask him to play games for them.
Any game is a piece of cake for him.
Shi Nianzhi quickly saw through the situation. He reached out and made the first move on Su Hengyi's phone.
Su Hengyi looked at Shi Nianzhi with a cold gaze, as if he didn't like others touching his things.
Shi Nianzhi's eyes were glued to the game, and he didn't notice anything amiss.
He took his phone and helped him get through this hurdle, "That way you won't have to think about it for too long."
Su Hengyi's coldness was not dispelled by this. He took the phone from Shi Nianzhi's hand without saying a word.
Shi Nianzhi thought he was angry and was uneasy for a while.
When the school bell rang, Su Hengyi opened WeChat. "Add me, it's been a long time since anyone on my contact list has surpassed me. Do you play King of Glory?"
"beat."
"What rank?"
"Starlight".
Let's team up tonight.
"No, I have homework to do tonight. I won't have time to play games until I finish my homework. How about this weekend? I'll play with you this weekend."
Su Heng handed his stack of test papers to Shi Nianzhi, saying, "Take these home and come find me when you're done copying them."
After saying this, the boy picked up his schoolbag and left.
Shi Nianzhi was somewhat bewildered as he held the test paper Su Hengyi had given him.
The next second, a group of people surrounded him, and many hands snatched the test paper from his hands.
"Damn, I knew I couldn't solve this problem. Turns out my approach was wrong. The top programmer is amazing; he even has such a simple algorithm."
"The top scorer's exam paper is truly an eye-opener for us commoners."
"Shi Nianzhi, what kind of drug did you give Brother Yi? He actually let you copy the test paper?"
"Our school bully is so aloof! We're always afraid to touch his things, afraid of being killed by his gaze. Oh, no, I mean frozen to death. You wouldn't believe it, but Mu Guangcheng copied his test paper without permission, and the two of them got together after school. The next day, Mu Guangcheng came to school with his left hand in a cast, and it took him three whole months to heal! He's a real school bully!"
Shi Nianzhi was both amused and exasperated. "Then why did you take his exam paper?"
Everyone seemed frozen in place. When they came to their senses, they shivered and put the papers back exactly as they had them, in the correct order.
"Nianzhi, just pretend you didn't see anything, okay?"
"Yes, yes, whatever you do, don't tell him."
"It was our fault, we won't do it again next time."
"We just admired him too much, and we couldn't help ourselves. We were wrong, brother, we were really wrong!"
After giving their instructions, the group of people quickly left.
Shi Nianzhi smiled, put the test paper into his schoolbag, and his WeChat beeped. He picked it up to look at it.
Lu Jiunian: I was just passing by the school and thought I'd pick you up after school. When are you coming out?
