Chapter 429: There are people in this world who crave to be watched
After dinner, classroom.
“Oh my god!!”
"What are you doing, Baowei? Why are you barking like a dog?" Lin Ligang and Bai Bufan walked into the classroom and looked at Zhou Baowei with frowns.
When they heard Bao Wei's roar in the corridor just now, they were frightened - they thought Xue Jian couldn't wait until the New Year to kill Bao Wei.
If Xue Jian started the meal without calling them, they would really be angry.
"I've run out of easy-to-score questions!" Zhou Baowei was holding an answer sheet that seemed to have just been handed out, and he looked very unhappy at the moment.
"Tell me in detail." His joy was built on his brother's pain, so Lin Li and Bai Bufan's eyes immediately lit up.
"I..." Zhou Baowei looked at his answer sheet, almost unable to hold it in, and sighed with his eyes closed. He said with despair, "Isn't there a free-scoring fill-in-the-blank question in history this time about Germany's blitzkrieg against Poland?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Zhou Baowei: "I don't know what was going through my mind during the exam. Anyway, I wrote 'Germany blitzes Berlin'. I even checked it several times and didn't think there was anything wrong with it."
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."
Lin Li chuckled, "I feel like you're the type of person who would write about the US attack on Pearl Harbor."
Bai Bufan chuckled. "I feel like you're the type of person who would write that China is a developing country, and therefore the United States is a developing country."
When Zhou Baowei heard the two people's sarcastic remarks, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He pressed the answer sheet to his face (barely covering his huge face) and laughed.
After the laughter died down, Zhou Baowei leaned back with his chair, the chair legs dangling in the air, and cursed at Lin Li and Bai Bufan with a smile:
"People cannot imagine things beyond their cognition. I seriously doubt these two answers were written by you before."
As we all know, being so arrogant in the last row is courting death.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan moved forward in unison, grabbing the back of the chair from the left and right and pulling it hard.
"Fuck! You bastard!!" The chair, which was already dangling in the air, tilted violently. Zhou Baowei quickly grabbed the edge of the table with both hands. His face turned pale and he was almost scared out of his wits.
"Are you trying to cause an earthquake?" Qin Zeyu, who was standing by, reacted and asked the two in horror, "Have you ever considered what would happen if you two failed to support Rang Baowei and he fell to the ground?
Can you bear the consequences of the earthquake?!"
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "I'm sorry."
OK, Bao Wei, who was originally planning to beat up Lin Li and Bai Bufan, now shifted his firepower to his deskmate.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan returned to their seats, picked up the history answer sheet on the table and started looking at it.
"Bufan, did the teacher not correct my answer sheet? Why is there no trace of red pen at all? You have so many red pens, I'm so envious..."
After looking at both sides of the answer sheet, Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan's answer sheet with envy.
"You're a complete bastard," Bai Bufan couldn't hold it in any longer, pointing at Lin Li's nose and scolding him with a smile, "How disgusting! To allow someone like you to achieve such good grades, God is truly blind."
Monthly exams are not as prestigious as midterm and final exams. Although the multiple-choice questions are still graded by machines, it is only because it is convenient.
For fill-in-the-blank questions, it would be completely unnecessary to scan and upload them to the computer and then have the teachers correct them with a mouse in front of the screen, so teachers still correct them directly on the answer sheet.
Lin Li shrugged and said, "Who says the heaven is blind? I heard that the heaven rewards and punishes clearly. It is angry with the wicked and eats beef hot pot with the good."
Zhou Baowei, who was lying on Qin Zeyu's body, pricked up his ears and turned his head: "What beef hot pot?"
Bai Bufan shuddered when he realized what Lin Li was saying. "It's so cold."
Zhou Baowei's eyes lit up: "It's time to eat hot pot in winter! I want to eat it too."
“…”
Zhou Baowei: "Why is no one paying attention to me?"
Lin Li and Bai Bufan didn't even turn their heads. Zhou Baowei felt a little sad because he was isolated.
In comparison, Zeyu is nice to himself and responds to everything - when a fist hits him, he will respond with a muffled groan at the first time.
After everyone had been playing around for a while, it was almost time for evening self-study. Xue Jian walked into the classroom and posted the report card on the class notice board. He said in a calm tone, "Monthly exam results and rankings. If you're interested, come and take a look."
"Wang Ze, what grade am I in this time?" The distance was too far, so Lin Li didn't want to squeeze in this time. He shouted to Wang Ze who was already lying on top.
"Stop barking like a dog." Wang Ze just raised his middle finger behind him without turning his head and scolded with a smile.
"What's the dog barking about? So which place am I? I'm really curious." Seeing that Wang Ze refused to say, it seemed that he had to rely on himself, so Lin Li stood up and walked towards the notice board.
"First place—" Wang Ze turned around and looked at Lin Li with amusement, "Are you satisfied?"
"Hey, Lin Li, a B-bro like you should really go to the docks. There's a lot of cargo there, which is suitable for you."
From Wang Ze's perspective, everything Lin Li did now was to use him to show off to everyone his top grade result.
"First? First in the grade?" But Lin Li knew he was not first, and was stunned when he heard that.
Especially after catching a glimpse of the meaningful smile on Xue Jian's lips in front of the podium, his face changed and he quickly walked towards the bulletin board.
Arrived and checked.
As expected, my name was at the top of the list, and the grade ranking was clearly written as "1".
The quality of students at Nansang Middle School is not such that the second in the grade cannot get first place after losing 60 points.
Lin Li looked at Xue Jian who was standing at the podium. "Teacher, I want to see the specific results of each subject!"
Xue Jian had just inserted a USB drive into the multimedia system. After pulling out the spreadsheet file, he said with a faint smile, "Take a look for yourself."
"Math 150!?"
Lin Li clicked on the sub-file of Class 4 from the spreadsheet and saw the glaring "150" under his math score column. His pupils suddenly shrank.
Immediately, Lin Li looked at Xue Jian beside him with a horrified look. Meeting his meaningful smile, he couldn't help but tremble all over: "Teacher... what's going on with this 150...?"
"There's a traitor! There's something shady going on! There's so much dirty stuff behind this 150! I can't accept it! I'm going to report it to—"
"Lin Li! Don't go too far!!!"
A sad and angry voice was heard.
But the owner of this voice was not Xue Jian, but Wang Yuezhi, who was standing opposite Lin Li and checking the results at the podium.
"Ah?" Lin Li's pent-up emotions became a little incoherent after being interrupted like this, so he looked at Wang Yuezhi in confusion, wondering why he suddenly defended Lao Jiantou.
"This 150 is the result of my hard work! What makes you say I cheated? Do you think you are the only one who can get 150?" Wang Yuezhi looked straight at Lin Li, clenched his fist and said loudly.
Wang Yuezhi was really angry, even his eyes were a little red, and it seemed like he was about to shed tears.
I was already tired of spending time alone with Chen Tianming at noon!
"ah?"
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the computer screen. Oh, it seemed like he knew the reason.
Chen Yuying must have made a mistake in her math this time, as she only scored 145, but Lao Wang managed to get a perfect score of 150.
He was the only one in the class who got full marks besides himself.
I guess he thought that the questions he asked just now were to tell Xue Jian that there was something wrong with his 150 and he wanted to report it.
After figuring it out, Lin Li scratched his head and said, "Yuezhi, I'm not questioning you. I'm questioning my results. There must be something wrong with my 150. There must be someone evil behind this."
Wang Yuezhi: “(；☉_☉)?”
My friend, are you speaking Chinese?
"Well, I'm sorry." Wang Yuezhi, who was incoherent after his emotions were interrupted, scratched his head and apologized.
"Brother, since you have such an attitude, what else can I say? It's okay, you continue to look at your results, and I will take care of my own business first." Lin Li waved his hands repeatedly.
After Wang Yuezhi nodded, Lin Li smiled.
The next second, he took a deep breath, his expression changed, and he turned to Xue Jian again, saying sternly: "Teacher! There is a traitor! There is something shady going on—"
Xue Jian's mouth twitched slightly.
The child's emotions can actually be connected.
His talent for face-changing is really well-controlled.
However, Xue Jian also felt that Lin Li's constant barking was a bit noisy, so he waved his hand in disdain and explained:
"You filled so many marks on that multiple-choice question that it was completely black. The teacher in charge of your exam noticed it immediately when he handed it to the examiner. He also sent it to us in the group chat to see it. In the end, he was the one who marked your total score.
You should question him instead of bothering me."
"I don't believe it. I think you, teacher, must have nodded." Lin Li still looked at Xue Jian with suspicion.
"I didn't nod." Xue Jian sneered and firmly denied it.
I just sent an "OK" on WeChat and didn't nod at all during the whole process. Lin Li still wanted to slander me. How ridiculous!
Seeing that Lin Li still didn't believe it, Xue Jian knew that he must not feel guilty in front of Lin Li, so he just sneered:
"Lin Li, how about I tell you the name of that teacher from another class and ask you to confront him?"
"Forget it," Lin Li shook his head and waved his hands as he walked off the stage. "This will cause trouble for the teacher. As the top student in the grade, I still have to act like the top student. I have to be considerate of the teacher. So that's it."
Xue Jian: “(；☉_☉)?”
Hey, what am I?
You stand up to defend other people's teachers, but you sit back and kick your own teacher. Don't you feel bad?
Lin Li, who was not going to eavesdrop for the time being, ignored the resentful gaze behind him and slowly returned to his seat.
Lin Li didn't feel too upset about this little episode.
It was just something that happened naturally. Even if I didn't get first place in the grade this time, it was still unknown whether the system would give me the task during the final exam. There was no need to feel too sorry for something that was uncertain.
Evening self-study officially began and the classroom gradually became quiet.
Xue Jian was still sitting on the podium.
After all, in the past two or three days, almost all the teachers have focused on explaining the test papers. Since no new lessons were taught, there was no homework. Most people have more nothing to do than before.
We need to keep a closer eye on it.
Today is Wednesday, and there is no need to go to the competition tutoring. Lin Li seems to be reviewing the textbook, but in fact his left hand is placed on the copy of the martial arts method, and he is studying it in a "Braille reading" way with his spiritual sense without attracting anyone's attention.
Nearly an hour passed like this, and then there were deliberately subdued footsteps coming from the podium. Lin Li looked up and saw Xue Jian walking out of the classroom.
Lin Liben didn't care at all, and even waited for Xue Jian to leave completely before chatting with Bai Bufan.
But then he reacted and his eyes became a little sharp - could it be that Lao Jiantou went to light mosquito coils?
Thinking of this, Lin Li could no longer sit still. After Xue Jian's figure disappeared at the door, he stood up carefully, tiptoed to open the back door, and poked his head out stealthily.
Sure enough, by the window at the end of the corridor, Xue Jian was leaning outward with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Lin Li walked over quietly.
With his current control over his body, it is not difficult for him to do it quietly.
"Teacher Xue, can I borrow a light?"
Xue Jian subconsciously passed the lighter behind him after hearing this. After seeing who was coming, he raised his eyebrows and immediately grabbed the lighter with his thumb and index finger. Then, he gently hit Lin Li's head with the remaining three fingers and said unhappily:
"What do you want to borrow a light for? What are you doing out here? get out of class isn't over yet, why don't you go back to study?"
"Teacher, smoking is not allowed in school." Lin Li looked straight at the cigarette in Xue Jian's mouth and said seriously.
“…”
Xue Jian looked at Lin Li for a long time before he took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it back into the cigarette box.
After a moment of silence, he licked his lips and looked at Lin Li suspiciously: "...New means of revenge?"
This kid is too narrow-minded.
"What are you talking about revenge? I don't understand. Smoking is harmful to health, and secondhand smoke is even more harmful. I'm thinking about your health and everyone else's." Lin Li shook his head and said seriously:
"Teacher, time is money. If you keep sucking, you'll go bankrupt sooner or later."
"Okay, let's stop smoking and go back to the classroom."
He wasn't too angry, thinking that Lin Li was simply seeking revenge after "still believing that he had tampered with his grades." Instead, he found it somewhat amusing, so Xue Jian put the cigarette box back into his pocket and shook his head.
Lin Li looked at the system panel, but the task did not respond.
"Teacher, you are not fooling me, are you?" Therefore, Lin Li looked at Xue Jian suspiciously, thought for a moment, and added: "I will always keep an eye on you, always..."
"Can you still keep staring at me?" Xue Jian glanced at Lin Li sideways when he heard that.
"I will try my best." Lin Li said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Haha, I hope you can do it." Xue Jian patted Lin Li's shoulder.
Lin Li's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Teacher, are you provoking me?"
"No," Xue Jian shook his head. "I'm sincere. If you spend your whole life just staring at me and not getting into trouble, not going to crack down on prostitution, and not eating hotpot, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. After waking up, I'll immediately check to see if you're still staring at me. If you are, I'll continue to smile as I sleep."
Lin Li: “…”
Eh, no.
Such a simple wish.
So what?
…
In the classroom.
Xue Jian sat back on the podium, looking at his phone and occasionally answering questions from students.
Lin Li looked at the system panel.
Theoretically speaking, if the system didn't respond, then Xue Jian probably didn't listen to what he said.
Just keep watching, you will eventually find some clues.
--(all)!
After answering the students' questions, Xue Jian, who was drinking water, noticed Lin Li staring at him with eyes as big as copper bells out of the corner of his eye, and almost sprayed all the water on Wang Ze.
After choking a few times, he signaled Lin Li with a sullen look, "Do your own thing."
Staring so blatantly did not seem to have much effect. Lin Li thought about it and decided to change his tactics.
He began to lower his head.
Although he seemed to be facing the table, he was rubbing his eyebrows with his left thumb and index finger as a cover. In fact, his eyes were rolled up and through the gaps between his fingers, he was firmly fixed on Xue Jian on the podium.
It makes sense to do this.
A few minutes later, Xue Jian subconsciously touched his lips, suddenly stood up, and walked out quietly.
Before leaving the classroom, he deliberately glanced in the direction of Lin Li, and then his figure disappeared at the door.
Lin Li raised his lips to a smug smile: Old Jiantou, you are still a little too young to fight with me.
Lin Li first looked up at the window, and seeing that Xue Jian did not appear, and was not heading towards the toilet, Lin Li immediately stood up, repeated the same trick, opened the back door, and peeked towards the window at the end of the corridor.
However, Lin Li frowned slightly - his vision was empty.
Did he change his location and go somewhere else to smoke?
There's no one else in the corridor.
Chen Tianming, who was closest to the back door, saw Lin Li score twice. Curiously, he leaned back with his chair, leaned over to look in the direction Lin Li was looking, and asked:
"Lin Li, what are you doing?"
"Just find Lao Jiantou." Lin Li replied.
"What are you looking for Lao Jiantou for?" Hearing this, Xue Jian leaned over and asked curiously.
"Children should stay out of the adults' business." Lin Li waved his hand.
Smoking is also considered forbidden.
Chen Tianming smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said lightly: "Then you continue."
After saying that, Chen Tianming immediately straightened his tilted chair, sat up straight in his seat, and began to study with an expressionless face and sweat all over his body.
As for Lin Li, after looking for another second and realizing that he really couldn't see Xue Jian, the idea of going out to find out where Xue Jian had gone disappeared inexplicably. In short, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.
Therefore, Lin Li just sighed and said to himself:
"Well, forget it, I'll just go back to my seat and study hard every day, and try to get first place in the final exam to repay my beloved teacher Xue for his teachings~"
After saying that, Lin Li quickly tried to return to his position.
"Stop." Xue Jian's sneering voice came.
Lin Li's spirit collapsed at once. He turned around, looked at the sneering Xue Jian with a flattering look, and said hello: "Hey, teacher, I found you."
Xue Jian smiled: "It's been found."
Lin Li: “…”
Noodles, when did you come?
11-year-old Xue Jian turned into a ghost in a white dress... Never mind, it's not appropriate.
Lin Li's mind was wandering, but then he frowned.
How did Lao Jiantou appear behind him?
Although the classroom curtains were half drawn today, if Xue Jian had walked normally from the front door to the back door, there was no way she would have missed seeing him when she looked out.
As for going around one floor from upstairs or downstairs to get to the back door, even if there are many people around, it would not take enough time.
When he opened the door, Lin Li glanced towards Class 5, but did not see Xue Jian.
etc.
Lin Li's mouth twitched slightly.
There is only one truth left.
Damn, this is a trap.
After Lao Jiantou came out of the front door, he immediately gave up his upright ape form.
He immediately crouched down and used the corridor wall, which was the blind spot below the classroom window, to bend over like a thief and quickly move to the back door using his hands and feet. Then he dodged and hid in the recessed doorway embedded in the wall of the front door of Class 5 next door.
Only in this way can I perfectly explain why I opened the door and took a quick look but ultimately found nothing - Old Jiantou was sticking to the door of Class 5 classroom like a gecko at that time.
Wow, you old cunning guy.
“…”
However, even though he had fallen into a trap, Lin Li still felt a little uncomfortable when the image of Xue Jian sneaking along the wall with his butt sticking out appeared in his mind.
Therefore, his eyes turned to Xue Jian and Lin Li blinked: "Teacher, how did you appear at the back door?"
Xue Jian, who was originally sneering, suddenly looked a little unnatural when he heard this.
He coughed dryly, put his hands behind his back majestically, looked away, and said in a tone almost identical to Lin Li's just now: "Children should stay out of the adults' business."
Lin Li: “…”
You're embarrassed yourself, aren't you?
