Chapter 451 Xue Jian is not a thorny person, he is a rose with thorns
"bell--"
The bell for the first evening study session rang.
Class 4, Grade 1.
Xue Jian, who was sitting in the office, adjusted his sitting posture slightly after hearing the bell. He rubbed his right shoulder with his left hand and subconsciously relaxed a little, but his eyes were still on the test paper in his hand.
He didn't get up to go to the office to rest or light a mosquito coil. After all, Ding Sihan beside him was still asking him questions, and he had to at least answer them first.
"This question—"
"Eh? Lin Li? Why are you back now?"
In the corridor, Bai Bufan's surprised question was clearly audible.
He hadn't answered the question just now because he was reviewing the question, but now he already had an idea of how to explain it. Xue Jian, who was about to speak, heard the noise in the corridor, closed his mouth again, frowned slightly and pricked up his ears.
Who says words can't tell a good horror story?
Didn’t Bai Bufan do it easily?
"I'll come back and eat apples."
Lin Li's voice actually appeared afterwards, causing Xue Jian's hand holding the test paper to tremble.
Alert, alert, level one alert.
This child actually came back from the multimedia room.
However, although the voices were clear, neither Bai Bufan nor Lin Li appeared outside the door. Even Xue Jian could not see them through several open windows.
"Apple? What apple?" Bai Bufan's voice continued.
"Haha, I just heard during tutoring that the head teacher of Class 6 gave everyone in their class an apple. If their teachers did the same, how could our dear Teacher Xue not give us one?
Without even thinking about it, there must be an apple on my table right now, right?
Tsk tsk, Bufan, you still want to hide it and give me a surprise?"
Xue Jian: “…”
When Xue Jian heard "Dear Teacher Xue" instead of "Old Jiantou", the corners of his mouth began to twitch.
If the two people outside the door hadn't done it on purpose, Xue Jian would have had the surname Lin Li from now on.
The conversation continues——
"Is that so? Haha, yes." Bai Bufan said embarrassedly.
"I knew it! Long live Teacher Xue! I love my teacher the most! Then I'll go in and get the apple first." Lin Li's voice was very excited.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Bai Bufan stopped him anxiously, looking flustered.
"What's wrong?"
"Zeyu, you're hungry, right? Go buy some midnight snacks with Lin Li. Lin Li, keep Zeyu company for a while."
"Hmm? Why? I want to go back and eat my apple first."
"Hey, Lin Li, this is an apple given by Teacher Xue, so of course I have to treat it with the best attitude!
Fruit after a meal, fruit after a meal, fruit should be eaten after a meal to maximize its value. If you eat it directly, it is disrespectful to the apple and also disrespectful to Teacher Xue! ! ”
"Oh oh—I see, I see! Bufan, you're right about my question. Zeyu, let's go get a midnight snack first!"
The conversation in the corridor paused slightly at this moment and fell silent for a while.
But only for a moment.
A moment later, when Xue Jian thought the two were going to stop, Wang Ze's voice rang out. His voice was lower than Lin Bai's just now, and this time it was testing:
"Bufan... why do you say that... didn't the teacher give us apples?"
"Wang Ze, didn't you see the respect and admiration for the teacher in Lin Li's eyes just now?
He trusted the teacher so much and firmly believed that our head teacher would treat him to an apple today. Did you notice that when I confirmed his idea, Lin Li... was as happy as a child——
Facing such a person, how can I bear to tell him the truth, how can I bear to see him disappointed? Huh? "
Bai Bufan read in a tone similar to reciting poetry.
"Well, that seems to be the case..."
"Wang Ze, let's go too." Bai Bufan's tone became urgent.
"Leave? Where to?"
"Let's go to the store and buy some apples."
“What are you going to do with the apples?”
"Buy forty of them and put them on every student's desk in the class. We'll say that Teacher Xue gave them to us and told us to put them in our seats."
"Why do you do that?"
"Damn it! Do you think Lin Li is the only one who respects and believes in Teacher Xue? Lin Li is just a microcosm of Class 4, Grade 1. Haven't you heard the saying that when you find one Lin Li in the class, there are actually already a whole bunch of them!
Now, in addition to Lin Li, there must be many other students who also have this idea, but they just haven't expressed it as directly as Lin Li.
But Lao Jian, ahem, Teacher Xue didn't bring apples today. Did he not want to? Did he want to betray our love and trust? Absolutely not! He must have been busy, so he forgot!
But we can't blame the teacher for being busy. I believe that if the teacher thinks about this incident after today, he will blame himself and try to make amends for us. But a broken heart will always have cracks no matter how hard you try to repair it, and this is not what I want to see.
So for the sake of the teacher's reputation and Lin Li's expectations, we need to make up a white lie. Besides, it's not really a lie, it's just doing something that Teacher Xue forgot to do."
"I... understand." After hearing this resounding revelation, Wang Ze suddenly realized it and immediately agreed: "Then after we buy it, should we ask the class monitor to reimburse us with the class funds?"
"Why reimburse? If I reimburse, everything will be exposed. I'll just pay for it myself. Ha, today, I will sacrifice my blood! Xuan! Yuan!"
"It's burning!" Wang Ze's blood boiled, "Bufan, I understand your intentions, I'll give half too!"
"Alright! Wang Ze, you're worthy of being Teacher Xue's favorite student, the one he keeps by the desk every day to look after closely. Let's go!"
"Walk!"
The conversation outside the corridor stopped temporarily.
In the classroom.
The classroom, which was originally quite noisy because the get out of class was over, subconsciously became a little quieter when Lin Li's voice appeared, especially Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana. As the conversation progressed, everyone became quieter and quieter, so that at this moment, the whole classroom was silent.
Everyone was listening attentively.
But as the sounds outside faded, discordant sounds gradually emerged inside—
After all, except for Xue Jian whose mouth was twitching, everyone else was trying to restrain their laughter.
The main victim was still present and laughing too loudly was not polite.
This was especially true for Ding Sihan on the podium. She was trying to hold back her laughter just like her aunt.
Damn it! Before evening self-study, when Lin Li asked me to ask Xue Jian questions one minute before get out of class ended if he was present, he didn't tell me the plot would be so rich.
Ding Sihan couldn't help it, so he turned his head and gently hit the blackboard with his forehead, trying to prevent the corners of his mouth from rising.
Victim Xue Jian: “…☉_☉…”
His gaze turned toward the corridor.
Every time when he thought that this was the end of Lin Li and Bai Bufan's life, the two of them would always come up with something that made things even darker for him.
These two guys are black, right?
I feel like I need 7.62 antibiotics intravenously.
“…”
“…”
"We are leaving, is there anyone who can stop us——"
"I'm really leaving—it's true—"
At the back door, Bai Bufan noticed that Xue Jian hadn't made any movement. He spoke in a drawn-out tone, sounding somewhat unsure:
"I really really really really have to leave. Although I only have a hundred yuan left for living expenses this month, it's not a big deal to spend sixty or seventy yuan to buy forty apples. Thirty yuan can last four days, and I will definitely be able to live well--"
"It's all for Teacher Xue, I'm willing to do it—"
"But it's actually possible to stop it... hello?"
"Then I've already gone far..."
Now that's better.
Listening to Bai Bufan's somewhat desperate "sighs" and "mumbling to himself", not to mention the other students in the classroom, even Xue Jian himself found it difficult to keep his mouth shut.
"call--"
Even his breathing was trembling because of his laughter.
Xue Jian shook his head, thinking that he must have committed sins in his previous life.
Glancing at Ding Sihan who was squatting on the ground and laughing, Xue Jian stopped talking about the question, stood up and walked out the door.
But just as Xue Jian was about to poke his head out of the main door and curse, he saw Bai Bufan and Wang Ze push the back door and enter the classroom.
After Xue Jian retracted his head, the two of them immediately left the classroom.
Xue Jian: “…”
It's like playing hide-and-seek and the king is still not seeing the king?
But he was too lazy to pay attention to these two people. Anyway, the mastermind was probably no longer present. He would clean up later. Xue Jian looked towards the classroom and said cooperatively:
"Today is Christmas Eve. I was so busy that I forgot. I need to prepare some blessings for everyone to be safe and sound. The discipline committee will take care of the discipline during the next study session. I'll be back later."
After leaving this sentence, Xue Jian left the classroom.
“…”
“…”
“Hahahahahaha——”
When Xue Jian left, there was a brief silence, and then Class 4 of Grade 1 burst into laughter.
"The operation was a great success!" Bai Bufan, who had slipped back into the classroom, cheered excitedly, "Everyone! When you eat your apples later, please always remember the heroes who made all this possible!"
"Bai Bufan! Lin Li!"
"Bai Bufan! Lin Li!"
The classroom started to make a commotion.
Of course, the only ones who would shout like that were the boys in the back row who were just watching the fun and not mind making trouble, with Zhou Bao being the most prominent, and a few girls.
"Tsk, I feel like with our skills, if we can enter the strength-first classroom, we can easily lead the class to become Class A." Amid the cheers of the crowd, Bai Bufan couldn't help but put his hands behind his back and sighed with some inflated emotion.
Zhang Haoyang, who watched the most anime, looked at Bai Bufan with disdain when he heard this.
Really let these two bitches enter the strength supremacy classroom——
Episode 1: Time Travel! The Classroom of Strength Supremacy!
Episode 2: The school does not allow pets, so Bai Bufan has no choice but to drop out!
Episode 3: 120 school rules added and revised! Principal Lin delivers an important speech!
Anyway, none of them are human.
…
“When you drink water, remember the well-digger. Tianming, when you eat the apple later, remember to thank me.”
After the competition tutoring ended, on the way back to the classroom from the multimedia hall, Lin Li turned his head and smiled at Chen Tianming, the light bulb behind him.
"Haha, it's definitely not as delicious as Qiaoqiao's apple." Chen Tianming, who had already learned from Lin Li what he did when he disappeared during the break, said disdainfully.
The corners of my mouth, which had finally been lowered today, couldn't help but curl up again.
"Oh, it's all Bufan's fault for ruining my surprise. Qiaoqiao just asked him to put it in my drawer and didn't tell me. Qiaoqiao originally planned to tell me after the tutoring session and let me get it from the drawer."
Chen Tianming shook his head and said with sweet disgust.
"Just say this in front of Bufan." Lin Li said with a smile.
"No, he will use his power against me. It would be useless for me to keep him around." Chen Tianming was very rational.
Lin Li gave a thumbs up, but he could understand Chen Tianming: "Actually, I also think the apple the monitor gave me is the best."
Chen Yuying, who was walking beside him, elbowed Lin Li lightly and gave him a reproachful look.
Then, the girl turned her head and looked at Chen Tianming who was standing behind her. Fortunately, this light bulb classmate was shameless enough to follow the two of them back, otherwise Lin Li might want to eat again on the way back.
Arrive at the classroom.
Lin Li, who entered from the back door, was slightly startled. He took in the few traces of apples in the classroom and found that they were all from before evening self-study. After looking at Yang Bangjie, who was closest to the back door besides Chen Tianming, with some surprise:
"The battle failed? Old Jiantou didn't give me the apple?"
"I don't know," Yang Bangjie shook his head. "Old Jiantou left during recess and hasn't come back yet. Maybe he's not going home for dinner."
"ah?"
Lin Li returned to his seat and looked at Bai Bufan hesitantly: "Is he running away?"
"Not really."
Apples are always cheap. There is no need for gift boxes or large apples to send to the class. Forty regular apples will only cost a few dozen yuan. If it is the peak season for apples, you can actually buy one for only 60 or 70 cents if you convert the price by kilogram.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan planned this way because they didn't need many gold coins from Xue Jian. If the total cost was a few hundred yuan, the two of them would not choose to roast Xue Jian on the fire.
Although he said so, Bai Bufan was not sure.
But perhaps it was because of constant thoughts that there would be a response, at this moment, Xue Jian pushed open the front door and walked into the classroom.
Everyone looked at Xue Jian's hands expectantly, and sure enough, he was holding a big black bag!
"oh oh--"
“Pah pah pah!”
"Long live Old Jiantou!"
Some people couldn't help but start cheering or applauding.
Xue Jian smiled, took out a stack of test papers from the black bag, counted the corresponding number of papers, distributed them from the first group to the last group, and gestured to pass them down.
“…”
The whole class fell silent in an instant.
Especially when the black bag shrank directly after taking out the test paper, and it was confirmed that there was nothing inside.
This bag only contains test papers?
Isn't this development wrong?
"Lin Li and Bai Bufan reminded me," Xue Jian smiled at Lin Li and Bai Bufan after dividing the first two groups and handing all the remaining papers to the last group. He explained to the whole class:
"Since today is Christmas Eve, as the class teacher, I naturally hope that everyone is safe and sound.
Peace apples and the like are too common, so I specially prepared this peace roll for everyone."
Upon hearing this, Lin Li and Bai Bufan's pupils trembled. As the last group, they would be the last to get the test paper. There was no time to wait for the ones in the front to be handed out. They immediately stood up and walked to Zhou Baowei, looking at the test paper in his hand.
2023-2024 Academic Year: Mathematics Exam for the Six-School Joint Entrance Examination for Senior High School Students in Ping'an District, Qingdao Province, First Semester, Grade 11
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."
Xue Jian: "Taking a safe test and enjoying peace and safety, well, it is indeed a good omen."
Xue Jian's tone is very similar to that of a TV commercial.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."
You old rascal! Who the hell taught you how to play the Ping An Roll?!
I'm dying of laughter. Just because a test paper has "Ping An District" in its title, it can be called a "Ping An Paper"? It's like if a fruit has "Ping" in its name, it can be called a "Ping An Fruit"? This is too sloppy and casual, isn't it? This is a complete capital trap! They're trying to trick people into buying the test paper and forcing them to get free passes!
Don't be fooled, old man!
Although they were complaining madly in their hearts, Lin Bai and the other two people who were the only two people standing in the class besides Xue Jian did not say anything at this moment.
Not only that, I was actually sweating profusely.
Because they could vaguely feel that most of the people in the class were looking at them.
Including Zhou Baowei, who is the closest.
Seeing that there was still a risk that the two might survive, Xue Jian calmly added:
"It's meaningless if we don't finish the exam on Christmas Eve. Although there are only a dozen minutes left before school ends, everyone should still work hard and finish the exam papers that Lin Li and Bufan have fought for for you. Don't even think about leaving school if you don't finish them."
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."
Damn, the gazes in this class are no longer "vague" at this moment.
If sight could really cause harm, Bai Bufan felt that he would be chopped into pieces.
Lin Li had a different opinion: he felt that the particles were not that big.
The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to respond to the class's gaze.
Old! Cunning! Boss!
At this time, Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana at the front table turned around to look at Lin Li and Bai Bufan who were standing there. They spread out their hands, shook the only test papers in their hands, and gave them an innocent look.
When they got the test papers from the front table, there were only two left.
Seeing this, Bai Bufan looked up at Xue Jian in despair: "Teacher, two test papers are missing."
Lin Li didn't say anything, but he felt even more uneasy.
"Two are missing?" Xue Jian came over and asked in surprise. He looked around and found that no other group had any extra tickets. He frowned in distress.
“Yeah, that’s all I printed.”
"But it's okay." Before Lin Li and Bai Bufan could say anything, Xue Jian reached into his left and right pockets, took out an apple each, and placed them on the table of Lin Li and Bai Bufan. In the shocked and horrified eyes of the two, he smiled and said:
"It just so happens that the teacher has two peace apples here, so I'll give them to you. I'm sorry for being so tacky."
Then he stopped looking at Lin Bai and the others and looked at the entire classroom:
"Okay, everyone, hurry up. There are only ten minutes left before school is over. Start writing quickly. You are not allowed to leave school until you finish the peace paper."
"You two too, hurry up and start eating. The teacher treats you all the same. Although you don't have to write a peace paper, you are not allowed to leave school until you finish eating the peace apples."
"The disciplinary committee will take care of the rules. No noise is allowed. I have something else to do, but I'll be back soon."
After finishing his words succinctly, Xue Jian left the classroom through the back door. For some reason, his steps seemed very brisk, without any of the steadyness or staggering that a middle-aged man should have.
The classroom was silent!
Lin Bai, safe! All right!
But only the body was safe and sound.
The two of them looked at the apples in their hands tremblingly and swallowed their saliva.
They swallowed their saliva not because they thought the apple was so tempting, on the contrary, they just felt that the apple in their hands was extremely terrifying at the moment, as if it was twisted in their hands in an indescribable way like Cthulhu.
This apple before me... is even more vicious than the one the queen gave to Snow White.
Snow White only lost her life, but Lindsay and the others——
Amidst slightly heavy breathing, the two raised their heads with difficulty and looked at each other.
Both of them could see fear in each other's eyes.
Your mom!!
Two apples kill forty men!
