Chapter 95: I need spicy oil
Bai Yang lay on the desk, drowsy.
It's very strange that he sleeps more soundly in the classroom than at home. At home there are beds and beddings, but in the classroom there are only tables and chairs, and noisy voices. But at this time, it is the people around him that can bring Bai Yang a sense of security. Only when he stays under the bright sunshine, in the hustle and bustle of the city, and among his peers, can he feel that the world is still functioning normally. Compared with the tense and depressing atmosphere of the doomsday building in his own living room, the pressure of the college entrance examination is nothing.
If someone told Bai Yang at this moment that the problem had been solved and he only needed to concentrate on the college entrance examination, it would definitely be a great liberation.
So Bai Yang rejected Uncle Zhao's suggestion to take a leave of absence. Zhao Bowen suggested that Bai Yang could take the college entrance examination next year and he would not have to go to school in the near future, but Bai Yang shook his head without even thinking about it. For him, going to school was not a burden but a chance to breathe.
The teacher doesn't care about him anyway.
Bai Yang can sleep from morning reading until school is over at noon, and no one comes to disturb him except He Leqin.
He didn't know how Uncle Zhao negotiated with the school, but the head teacher and the subject teachers no longer disturbed Bai Yang from sleeping or being absent in class, and he was even exempted from handing in his homework. Every time the teachers met Bai Yang, there was a hint of pity and regret in their eyes. The head teacher would call Bai Yang to the office whenever he had time, and hold his hand, saying earnestly that people only have one life, and academic performance and college entrance examination scores are all trivial matters, and you shouldn't take them too seriously. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. You must take care of your health, and be sure to find a teacher at any time if you have any difficulties... as if Bai Yang was a terminally ill patient who would not live long.
"Little Aries, they all say you are severely depressed." After class, He Dashao put his arm around Bai Yang's shoulders and said in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"What severe depression?" Bai Yang frowned.
"Some people say that you have been diagnosed with severe mental illness, but you are strong-willed and you insist on going to school while fighting the disease." He Leqin explained, "This is so touching, little Aries, I suggest you run for the 2019 China's Most Touching Person."
"Bai Yang, are you okay?" Yan Zhihan also came over, "Are you really feeling unwell?"
"What the hell." Bai Yang was confused. "Where did these rumors come from?"
"Someone from the next class saw your father and a few others go to the teacher's office to look for Teacher Liu. They looked so sad and heartbroken. They thought you had died in a car accident," said He Leqin.
"You were the one who died in a car accident." Bai Yang said, secretly cursing his father and the others for what they were doing.
"If you didn't get into a car accident, then you've been diagnosed with some terminal illness." He Dashao said, "So you have depression. You can see that your mental state has not been right recently."
Bai Yang wanted to curse, what a mess, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. In school, groundless rumors always spread the fastest. Students have a lot of energy after school and have nowhere to vent, so they make up stories everywhere. If Bai Yang knew which big mouth came up with this nonsense in the first place, he would kick that person's ass hard.
"Don't believe in rumors, don't spread them. The Internet is not a lawless place. I'll just wait for the reversal. Thank you." Bai Yang yawned, "I just lack sleep."
"Are you really okay?" He Leqin was still worried.
"fine."
"That's a shame." Young Master He shook his head. "I told people that you were severely depressed and had attempted suicide by jumping off a building several times."
"It's you, the rebellious son!" Bai Yang was furious and wanted to kick him in the butt.
"What time did you go to bed last night?" Yan Zhihan asked.
"I went to bed a little after one and fell asleep a little after three."
Bai Yang's insomnia has become more and more serious recently, especially when he learned that his room was BG4MSR's room and that the two of them actually lived in the same room. Bai Yang began to have dreams, or rather nightmares. In the dreams, he opened his eyes and could see a blurry black shadow with an unclear face sitting beside the bed. The shadow didn't move or speak, and it had no eyes, but Bai Yang knew it was staring at him.
Although twenty years have passed, Bai Yang still seems to be able to sense the girl's presence. When he sits in the room, everything is silent, as if another person's breath is rising and falling in the air.
"I'm going to sleep now." Bai Yang lay down again, "Wake me up after school and have dinner with you two dear ministers."
"Yes." He Leqin said, "Then I will take my leave."

Bai Yang really slept until school was over, but the more he slept, the more sleepy and confused he became. His brain was not clear at all. He Dashao and Yan Ge half-dragged and half-carried him out of the school gate and found a place on Lanqi Street to eat soup dumplings.
He Leqin ordered three trays of steamed buns, one with crab roe, two with soup dumplings, and three bowls of bone soup. Six o'clock after school was the peak dining time, and the restaurant was full of students. Bai Yang, He Leqin, and Yan Zhihan found a seat near the door and sat down. He Leqin patted Bai Yang on the shoulder and said, "Wake up, why don't you get enough sleep every day?"
"Because I'm a superhero." Bai Yang said, "Although I'm just an ordinary student during the day, but at night..."
"Still an ordinary student." Brother Yan said.
"At night I will transform."
"I know!" He Leqin answered quickly, "It's Captain Underpants!"
"That's right. At night I turn into Captain Underpants and do justice. When I see injustice, I roar and then keep moving forward." Bai Yang said.
When three high school students sit at a table, the topic will inevitably turn from mobile games to gossip.
Bai Yang, He Leqin, and Yan Zhihan are all gossipy, especially Brother Yan, who knows everything about the boys and girls in the grade. For example, the class beauty and her boyfriend broke up again because her parents went to school. The socialite in a class has changed three boyfriends in the past year, each one is uglier than the last. There is also a scumbag in a class who was posted on the forum and campus wall because he owed money and didn't pay it back. Yan Zhihan excitedly told the two about someone's inside story. She lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Do you know? The guy in the next class is actually...
oh--!
Bai Yang and He Leqin exclaimed.
"I haven't finished yet, what are you guys talking about?"
"Go ahead." Bai Yang and He Leqin were waiting for her.
"Actually - I'm so hungry, why haven't our soup dumplings arrived yet?" Yan Zhihan suddenly remembered that the three of them hadn't eaten yet, so she turned around and shouted, "Waiter! Excuse me, why haven't our soup dumplings arrived yet?"
Maybe there were too many people in the restaurant and the boss ignored the three of them. Yan Zhihan decided to go to the counter to urge them to serve.
She stood up and moved her chair to make room for a young waitress in black who was wiping the table. Bai Yang and Mr. He sat where they were and watched Brother Yan walk around the tables and chairs and diners in the lobby, step on the dark floor tiles, and stroll to the counter to communicate with the boss. The girl gestured and pointed in Bai Yang's direction, then nodded and went back to the kitchen.
A moment later, she came out with three trays of soup dumplings stacked high. Yan Zhihan winked at the two of them, looking quite proud.
"Comrades, dinner is here...ah!"
Brother Yan passed sideways between two tables and suddenly let out a scream.
Bai Yang and He Leqin were both startled. They saw Yan Zhihan trip over the mop stick that was lying across the table. She immediately lost her balance and fell forward. The three trays of boiling hot soup dumplings in her hands flew out of her hands and hit them in the face.
Bai Yang and He Leqin had opposite reactions at this time. Young Master He was retreating, trying to escape from the range of the out-of-control dumplings, while Bai Yang stood up and threw himself forward, stretching out his hands, trying to catch the steamers scattered in the air, but someone reacted faster than him. A hand shot out from the air, accurately caught the steamer at the bottom, and then stacked the steamers from bottom to top. It took less than a second to complete all this. Finally, Bai Yang and He Leqin came to their senses and saw that the hand was holding three stacked steamers steadily, hanging above the table.
Yan Zhihan was also hanging in the air above the floor. She almost hit her head on the corner of the table. If she had hit her head hard, she would have gotten a big bump. But someone grabbed her at the last moment and pulled her back with great strength.
The young waitress in black helped Yan Zhihan to sit up straight, then bent down and gently placed the soup dumplings on the table. Her movements were very light, just like an ordinary girl, but she was incredibly agile just a second ago.
All three were stunned.
The waitress, wearing an apron tied around her waist, picked up the three steamers one by one and neatly arranged them. The soup dumplings were all intact. She raised her head and looked at Bai Yang, who suddenly felt palpitations. The light brown eyes were as sharp as arrows, piercing his brain, as if to see through him. Bai Yang's muddled brain seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and he immediately sobered up. The girl lowered her head and retracted her gaze. She used her fingers to tuck the short hair beside her ears and smiled at the three people:
"Ah, you want chili oil?"
