Chapter 46
It may be because the air conditioning was too cold at the party, which made Jiang Qiuxu catch a cold. He asked for leave the next day and went home. Seeing Jiang Qiuxu leave, Du Xiwei didn't want to stay and asked for leave as well. Jiang Qiuxu was sick, but Du Xiwei just wanted to go home and play. She kept sharing the gossip she knew with Jiang Qiuxu every day, including Peng Chunli's "wonderful" moments.
Du Xiwei: Did you see the wall? Peng Chunli rented that skirt. If it was damaged, she would have to pay a huge amount of compensation. But guess what? She didn't know what happened. She got her skirt dirty and didn't want to pay for it. So she was directly hung on the campus wall.
Jiang Qiuxu: That’s very bad
After Jiang Qiuxu fell ill, he couldn't think straight after seeing such long words. He just opened his eyes and read them randomly. Du Xiwei obviously realized that her friend was really ill, which was different from her pretending to be sick, so she rarely contacted Jiang Qiuxu anymore.
After falling ill, Jiang Qiuxu either slept or took medicine. After four days of hard work, he finally recovered and returned to school on May 14. Du Xiwei might have had a great time at home, so she didn't go home even when Jiang Qiuxu went home.
As luck would have it, not long after Jiang Qiuxu returned, her homeroom teacher called an impromptu class meeting, another round of literary nonsense. Suddenly, Jiang Qiuxu felt that the teacher's words sounded more and more like a diss to her: "Senior year is a very important period of time. If you can avoid taking leave, don't take it. If you can persevere, you must persevere. Some students just can't handle hardship and ask for leave for even the smallest things. I understand you want to celebrate your birthday, but you can't take leave specifically to celebrate your birthday! You don't know how much you've fallen behind in your studies." Admittedly, Jiang Qiuxu could sense by the end that the homeroom teacher wasn't dissing her, but she did sneak out for her birthday.
The next second, Xie Yusheng could not escape the head teacher's mouth: "There are some classmates who have such long hair. I don't know why they spend so much time to take care of it every day. Boys, don't laugh. Look at the bangs of some of your classmates. What? Are you trying to be non-mainstream?" It can be said that Xie Yusheng and Du Xiwei were both within this range of attack, but Du Xiwei was not there and could not feel it.
The head teacher left the class not long after saying anything. Jiang Qiuxu unconsciously looked at Xie Yusheng's bangs. Before he could study it, he saw Xie Yusheng turned his head.
"Did you catch a cold on the day of the party?" Xie Yusheng spoke quietly, and it was almost impossible to tell what he was thinking. Jiang Qiuxu didn't want to guess.
"Yeah. By the way, why did the head teacher suddenly use the study session to give a 'lecture'?" Jiang Qiuxu subconsciously brought up a new topic.
Perhaps because the question was related to something Wu Lin already knew, he turned around and forced his way into the conversation. "I know this. Too many students in the grade have asked for leave, and the grade leader is putting pressure on the homeroom teacher. Although our class has only had three or four leave recently, other classes have had at least seven. Almost 150 people in the entire grade have asked for leave, and there are only about 850 students in the senior year. Naturally, they're getting mad."
Jiang Qiuxu had nothing better to do, so he pulled out his novel and started reading. As he did so, he took the time to respond to Wu Lin, "That's not surprising, but the last part was completely freestyle, like she was suddenly thinking about her hair instead of asking for half a day off."
There was no sound from the other side, and Jiang Qiuxu couldn't help but feel puzzled. Wu Lin should have said something else, but he didn't. This was not right. Jiang Qiuxu looked up and found that Xie Yusheng was the only one left. Xie Yusheng seemed to notice Jiang Qiuxu looking up, and he explained: "Wu Lin went to the bathroom."
To be honest, it was a little hard to get used to hearing Xie Yusheng say the word "toilet". Jiang Qiuxu couldn't continue the conversation with Xie Yusheng either, so he could only say "It's okay" while continuing to read the novel.
