Chapter 118
She believed that she would not forget this moment for a long time. After Xie Xinglin spoke, Director Xu’s originally smiling face gradually stiffened. Then, the complexion of his face shifted between red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The rest of the class became a scene of wanting to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh.
In the very end, Xie Xinglin and her walked out of the classroom with that night’s homework and stood in the hallway. Director Xu stood off to the side as he watched them. Then, with a cold smile, he said, “I reckon, since you are late, you probably also don’t want to attend evening self study, so just stay outside.”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He gnashed his teeth in anger and said, “Forget it if one of you got lost, but both of you got lost? Those who don’t know better would’ve thought our school was some maze!”
In addition to the already quiet atmosphere of the evening self-study, Director Xu’s voice was also loud. Therefore, nearly all the classes in that hallway heard it. There were many that were curious and poked their heads out to investigate.
They caught sight of the people standing outside of Class 1.
“F*ck, did I see wrong? Old Xu actually punished Xie Xinglin to stand? No way, just a few days ago, he had used Learning God as an example to reprimand others.”
“Yeah, doesn’t Director Xu like the Learning God the most? How is this possible?
“You didn’t see wrong, Old Xu’s mouth’s gone crooked from anger. He’s leaving Class 1.”
“F*ck, what a novelty.”
This was the first time Su Qiuge’s been punished to stand outside to do her homework. She held the paper with a pen in her mouth. After she looked in her pencil case for a long time, she finally raised her head and asked Xie Xinglin, “Seatmate, do you have a red pen?”
When she asked this, she finally noticed that the book in her seatmate’s hand was the same book from the organization that Yang Xue had found the tutor from. She leaned closer to him and asked, “Are you looking at the questions?”
Xie Xinglin took a red pen out of his coat and threw it at her. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at her for a while before slowly saying, “No, I’m thinking up questions.”
Su Qiuge took a deep breath, “Did you create the questions I did on that test?”
Xie Xinglin faintly pursed his lips, “That doesn’t count, it was just putting together questions from various key topics or changing the data.”
It’s no wonder that he was always first in the grade, this person had already reached the point where he could create questions.
When they spoke to this point, Su Qiuge took advantage of the moment and expressed the doubt that had piled up in her heart since earlier, “Seatmate, why did you use the same reason as me a moment ago? If you hadn’t imitated me, maybe the two of us wouldn’t have been punished to stand or I would’ve been punished to stand here alone. Either way, you wouldn’t have appeared here.”
She was somewhat perplexed. It was truly rare for someone like Xie Xinglin, who was motivated to act as a good student at school, to go as far as to contradict a teacher directly to their face.
The process in which Director Xu’s expressions changed just now even caused her to tremble in fear. The other party paved the steps for him, but not only did he not follow those steps, he even ruthlessly stepped on the other party.
Director Xu never expected that the student he, himself, was most optimistic about would actually slap his face in front of everyone, so he was naturally incredibly furious.
Xie Xinglin raised his eyes, carelessly gave her a glance, and then indifferently said, “I just said what I wanted to say.”
When Su Qiuge heard what he said, she found it a little funny because earlier, she also spoke impulsively.
In short, how to say this, she just wanted to give a beating.
And he was looking for a beating.
And although she has now received the proper punishment, she unexpectedly still felt rather happy.
During this period of time, there was more or less some pressure while preparing for the exam. And now, after being yelled at by Director Xu and being blown by the night breeze while standing outside, she instantly felt full of vitality and a lot more energetic.
Su Qiuge was deeply moved, maybe this was the simplest and sincerest happiness of a spirited youth.
It didn’t take long before she finished writing the assignments. Then, when she was stretching her body, she suddenly remembered a joke she had read on the internet.
She turned her head to look at Xie Xinglin, “Seatmate, tired from studying? Let me tell you a bedtime story.”
Xie Xinglin, who was originally doing calculations, paused. He raised his eyes to look at her, faintly raised his eyebrows, and then motioned for her to continue performing.
