Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

School ends at noon.

Fatty and Wang Min chatted and laughed all the way to the school gate.

Tang Yisheng watched with envy.

The troubles of having an outstanding appearance and temperament are something that little kids and overweight people can't understand.

Otherwise, why are there no rumors about them at school, but instead, rumors about me and Zhang Lei are rampant?

Wang Min headed west, then turned south, taking a different route from Fatty and the others.

The fat man didn't look back at the 'low-key' Tang Yisheng the whole way. Even after Wang Min rode away, he still craned his neck to look at the entrance of the alley to the east.

Jiang Ruoxi and Zhang Lei usually lingered in that area, waiting for Tang Yisheng and me to catch up and walk alongside them.

"Hey, Old Tang, why are those two riding so fast today..."

The fat man noticed Zhang Lei and her companion riding away into the distance. Surprised, he finally thought of striking up a conversation with Tang Yisheng.

Tang Yisheng glanced at them and saw that Zhang Lei and Jiang Ruoxi were indeed riding faster than before, but they were also leaving some leeway.

I guess he was torn about whether he could catch up, so he went a little faster than before, but not so fast that he couldn't catch up, so he could make his move with a plan.

She is indeed a bright and intelligent girl.

Tang Yisheng curled the corners of his mouth. This kind of ambiguous idea was definitely not something that a straightforward and fiery girl like Jiang Ruoxi could come up with.

Before Tang Yisheng could look away, he noticed Cui Rui following behind the two of them.

This guy isn't behaving himself while riding his bike; he's sticking his butt out trying to look cool.

Ever since Zhang Lei's family moved to Yongquan Hutong, Cui Rui has become Zhang Lei's neighbor, living right next door.

He didn't bring Jacky Cheung with him, but he was seen loitering around the entrance more often and going into the wrong room more frequently.

It's unclear whether his following Zhang Lei this time was a spontaneous act or an assignment from Duan Xueyou to keep watch.

Previously, rumors were spread at the school, which led to a reprimand from the teacher, thus breaking up his close relationship with Zhang Lei and reducing the risk of the two actually dating.

Duan Xueyou could probably do something like that too, using those methods.

But I suspect there were some clever people behind the scenes giving him advice.

Given Tang Yisheng's understanding of Duan Xueyou's academic underachiever nature, he would most likely be reluctant to "slander" Zhang Lei.

Teenagers are characterized by hormones and narrow-mindedness; without guidance, it's difficult for them to take this step.

After all, it must be very agonizing for the whole school to misunderstand that another man is having a relationship with the girl he likes.

"Let's go, Fatty."

Tang Yisheng spurred his leg into the car and immediately chased after it without any hesitation.

Before school ended, the homeroom teacher, Sun Yanxin, specifically asked Tang Yisheng to call his parents to school in the afternoon.

Should we call the parents?

You're dreaming!

Not to mention that it is unreasonable to make a judgment on this matter without any evidence, Hu Jinquan's attitude and words clearly showed that he was deliberately trying to confuse and stir up trouble.

They want to make Tang Yisheng take the blame without any real understanding of the situation, and then completely seal the deal?

Tang Yisheng couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.

A teacher's dignity should be established by their teaching ability, fairness and impartiality, and the public-spirited philosophy of nurturing students, rather than by their official arrogance and putting on airs.

Even when the homeroom teacher, Lao Sun, relayed a message, Tang Yisheng treated it like a fart.

He wouldn't tell Yang Jinjuan at all, and would continue to do as he pleased. He wouldn't let such a trivial matter affect his contact with Zhang Lei.

In order for the future skyscrapers to rise from the ground, how can we interrupt this crucial moment of laying the foundation?

Tang Yisheng and Fatty rode very fast, overtaking many people, including Cui Rui.

"Why were you riding so fast today? I almost couldn't catch up."

Tang Yisheng forcefully squeezed himself between Zhang Lei and Jiang Ruoxi.

He was tall and strong, and the originally narrow gap was forced to widen because of him.

The fat man behind him was filled with envy.

During this period, even if an ordinary person like Fatty had such an opportunity, they probably wouldn't dare to take the plunge.

"Hmph! I didn't wait for you on purpose, don't flatter yourself!"

Jiang Ruoxi began to hum.

It can't even be described as "delayed but surely arriving".

Because they arrived very quickly, almost before Tang Yisheng's last words had even finished, Jiang Ruoxi spoke.

When it comes to getting along with Tang Yisheng, Zhang Lei always seems to be a step behind Jiang Ruoxi.

"Are you... alright?"

Zhang Lei stared straight ahead, her eyelashes fluttering.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Tang Yisheng feigned ignorance: "Oh, you mean the rumors circulating at school about us dating? Oh well, whatever."

"I heard your homeroom teacher called you to the office; you got scolded, didn't you?"

Jiang Ruoxi spoke up, her tone both sarcastic and inquiring.

Little Chili always plays these ambiguous games, thinking she's hiding her true intentions well, but in reality, she can only fool the fat guy.

"Old Tang, what happened? Did your teacher scold you? Was it bad?"

The fat man grinned and shouted.

"Get lost!"

"Are you really alright?"

Zhang Lei's concerns were laid out plainly in her words.

There's a hidden momentum in her that she might overshadow Jiang Ruoxi and prevent her from being the only one who shines.

High school students are already adept at female-female competition.

The prettier a girl is, the earlier she will activate this skill, perhaps as early as junior high school, or even earlier.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Tang Yisheng's solution can be summed up in one word: "delay".

Once the final exams are over, this matter will naturally fade away with the long holiday.

However, as the saying goes: "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

Director Hu Jinquan seemed to have seized an opportunity and had no intention of letting Tang Yisheng go.

The grade head has a legitimate reason to deal with troublemakers.

Just halfway through the second period in the afternoon, Director Hu came to Class 6 and called Sun Yanxin, who was explaining a problem, out in front of all the students.

During the first break, Sun Yanxin asked Tang Yisheng about calling his parents.

Tang Yisheng dismissed him with a simple "My family is busy."

Hu Jinquan probably couldn't wait for Tang Yisheng's parents to come to the school, so he came over to verify the situation.

Sun Yanxin is the homeroom teacher of Class 6. Although he also felt that it was inappropriate to draw a conclusion on this matter and that calling the parents was making a mountain out of a molehill, he would definitely convey the message to his superior.

As for Tang Yisheng's disobedience, his homeroom teacher, Sun Yanxin, also subtly helped to smooth things over.

"Tang Yisheng's father is not in the country, and his mother owns a clothing store. She's probably too busy this afternoon to come..."

Hu Jinquan knew Tang Yisheng's family situation better than Sun Yanxin.

These petty tricks couldn't sway King Hu; in fact, they only added fuel to the fire.

Five minutes later, Sun Yanxin returned to the classroom podium. Director Hu Jinquan stood at the classroom door with a gloomy face, scanning the classroom of Class 6 without saying a word or leaving.

"Tang Yisheng, move the table to the back."

There was a slight commotion in the classroom, but it was quickly suppressed by a sharp gaze.

Tang Yisheng looked up, first glancing at Sun Yanxin, then turning to look at Hu Jinquan, the grade director, standing at the door.

The classroom was deathly silent; the entire space seemed to freeze for five seconds.

"Hurry up, don't be late for class."

"It's time," urged Sun Yanxin, the homeroom teacher.

Tang Yisheng stood up and, under the unblinking gaze of all the students, moved Wang Min's desk and chair aside, and moved his own belongings to the back of the classroom.
