The news of being challenged to a duel by God X on the public screen was so exciting that these pillars of the country's future couldn't calm down. They even secretly used their phones to type during class.
After making a commotion, they finally quieted down.
"Conquer Beijing University": No, it's class time. I have to focus on listening to the lecture. Nothing can stop me from learning.
"985211": I feel guilty towards the school and the teachers every time I type a word on my phone. I feel like I've let them down. Goodbye, let's chat after class.
"I Love Learning": In this English class...I've never looked at my phone during class from elementary school until now. I really feel guilty.
Xie Yu's current feeling was that he had dug himself a hole while his mind was not clear, and now he had to continue squatting in the hole.
The English teacher first led everyone to read the new vocabulary they were going to learn in this lesson, and then asked everyone to read it to each other a few times to familiarize themselves with it. After that, she turned around and wrote the topic on the blackboard.
Taking advantage of the gap when the class was reading the words, Xie Yu turned off his phone and threw it back with a bang.
It was quiet and uneventful.
He Chao was playing games with his head down until he reached a critical point. When he heard the sound, he thought Xie Yu was annoyed by the noise and couldn't sleep, so he instinctively reached out to cover his desk mate's ears.
He Chao fought the monsters with one hand, using five fingers as ten, and casually asked, "Noisy?"
Xie Yu was lying down, and He Chao's palm was pressed against his ear, his fingertips lightly inserted into his hair, making his voice sound a bit distant.
Xie Yu wanted to say "No, I'm not sleeping," but when the words reached his lips, they inexplicably turned into a single syllable "Mm."
The skill keys were divided into left and right sides, and even if He Chao's hand speed was fast, he couldn't handle playing with one hand.
When the other students finished reading their words, the class quieted down. He Chao forgot to withdraw his hand, and Xie Yu forgot to remind him.
This person often did these unconscious little actions.
Like the sunlight streaming in from the window, quietly smoothing out all the restless thoughts.
The English teacher finished writing the topic and summarized the main points of each paragraph, dividing them into several sections. She put down the chalk, clapped her hands to dust off the chalk powder, and said, "Have you all finished reading? I'll pick someone to answer..."
Looking around the classroom, the English teacher's gaze finally settled on the last row.
Suddenly she had nothing more to say.
"I must say, our class is full of love and affection. The way you all care for each other is truly remarkable." With a sarcastic tone, the teacher then called out the names of two students, "Xie Yu and He Chao, stand up please. Now, I want you both to read the vocabulary words for this unit. And no one else is allowed to help them."
Xie Yu stood up slowly and opened his book. "I can't read it," he said lazily.
He intentionally mispronounced the words, even when he knew how to say them correctly.
"Fine, if you can't do it, then what was I doing during class?" the teacher retorted. The teacher then turned to the student next to Xie Yu, who was still flipping through his book. "He Chao, you try."
He Chao asked, "Teacher, which page?"
The English teacher: "..."
She didn't give them a hard time. If she did, she would get so angry that she would faint in every class. She let them stand and listen to Xu Qingqing read once, and then let them sit down.
Xu Qingqing held the book and read each word very fluently according to the phonetic symbols. It was obvious that she had reviewed it at home.
He Chao stood at just the right height to see Luo Wenqiang secretly eating biscuits diagonally across from him.
"Old Xie," He Chao nudged Xie Yu with his elbow, "look."
"Look at what?"
Xie Yu was a little tired, with his hands in his pockets. He followed He Chao's gaze and saw Luo Wenqiang carefully lifting a biscuit out of the box with his fingers, waiting for the right moment to quickly stuff it into his mouth when the English teacher wasn't paying attention.
Xie Yu looked for a moment and asked, "He didn't have breakfast?"
He Chao said, "He said he only ate six meat buns this morning...maybe he's hungry again?"
After Xu Qingqing finished reading, He Chao sat down and started fiddling with the pen cap on the table, then threw it at Luo Wenqiang's back.
Luo Wenqiang was still chewing on a biscuit and almost choked. He turned around to see who had thrown it at him.
He Chao leaned back and smiled, hinting, "Want to share?"
Just like this, Luo Wenqiang's biscuits were passed from the first group to the next.
When it reached Wan Da, he took two pieces and by the time it got to them, there were only crumbs left. Not because he was hungry, but simply because he wanted to have some fun sneaking food in class.
A box of peanut-flavored milk biscuits was passed around the classroom like smuggling.
As the biscuits were about to be passed to their row, Liu Cunhao spotted them and waved to Wan Da, "Hey, I want some too!"
Meanwhile, the English teacher was still writing sentence structures on the blackboard, unaware of the commotion below.
By the time the biscuits made their way back to their row, the box was already empty.
Xie Yu took the box and muttered, "What a beast."
He Chao leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "What the hell, not even a single piece left?"
Luo Wenqiang watched helplessly as his biscuits disappeared before his eyes, completely losing interest in the class: "..."
'Screw these damn biscuits,' he thought to himself.
After class, the Unbeatable Most Handsome Squad gathered in the back of the classroom to discuss where they should practice their dance routine.
"How about on the exercise ground during PE class?" someone suggested.
"No way, we can't reveal our skills so easily," another member objected.
"..."
Xie Yu didn't pay much attention to what they were discussing.
He sat on the side, idle and bored, and clicked on the Wisdom Fruit icon. He logged in and saw two lines of text on the public screen.
"Trivia King" said to "jsdhwdmax": Okay.
"Trivia King" said to "jsdhwdmax": If you don't come, you're a dog.
Xie Yu probably understood why Zhou Dalei could run out to fight over a mere Ziwu item.
Because of dignity.
The Unbeatable Most Handsome Squad had originally planned to dance directly on the exercise ground, but when they got there, they found that there were too many people around, and there were two very eye-catching figures in their team.
Just standing there, Xie Yu and He Chao already enjoyed the treatment of being famous.
As soon as the music started, they couldn't stand the crowds and paparazzi from all sides, so they decided to go back to the classroom to rehearse. Before the rehearsal, Xu Jing asked, "Is everyone free this weekend..."
Liu Cunhao replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
Luo Wenqiang said, "I can make it."
As soon as Xie Yu finished saying "I'm not free," he heard He Chao also say, "I don't have time, sorry."
After counting, almost half of the people couldn't make it, so the idea of rehearsing on the weekend had to be abandoned.
Xu Jing turned around to adjust the sound equipment, and Xie Yu asked in a low voice, "Are you going home this weekend?"
This person hadn't gone home since the beginning of the semester, and it was about time to make a trip back.
"It's not anything urgent," He Chao sat on the desk, looking out of place, and said, "If you call me 'Brother', I won't go."
Of course, he didn't called him 'Brother'.
A week passed quickly.
With more and more homework to do and Old Tang's constant reminders, the weekend finally arrived.
"Students, remember to stay safe when going out this weekend," as most of the students had already left, leaving only a few unlucky students on duty. Old Tang continued, "Complete your homework on time, and learning should involve reviewing the old to learn the new..."
Xie Yu finished packing up and leaned against the back door, waiting for a certain on-duty student.
He Chao was still erasing the blackboard, his hand reaching up to the top.
Xie Yu was looking at him, but his mind was wandering.
A few days ago, he logged into the "Trivia King Battle" game a few times and discussed with the person named "Shameless" about how to compete on Saturday. Although they agreed to meet face-to-face and compete, there still needed to be some game rules.
After discussing back and forth, the only feasible plan was to grade the papers on the spot.
"Shameless" said he didn't have any objections and any test paper from any subject would do.
After speaking, he added five words: "I'll let you have three questions."
Xie Yu had never heard anyone speak with such a disrespectful tone before, not even from the big fool who was erasing the blackboard in front of him.
From a certain perspective, his boyfriend had something in common with the bespectacled nerd who was probably as smart as the bottom of a beer bottle.
-
"I Love Learning": Is everyone ready to go? Is God X ready to go?
"Learning, Learning, Learning, It's All I Live For": I'm ready, and my "Heavenly Power 38 Sets" and I are already on our way to the Century City.
"Top Ten In The Grade": On the bus, I wrote a 5,000-word reflection on my study methods last night, hoping to help everyone.
"Striving for the Top": I'm also ready and excited. I can't wait to solve some problems on the bus! I'm looking forward to the showdown between God X and Shameless!
......
The next morning, the discussion forum for the Trivia King Battle was flooded with messages from these people.
Meanwhile, Xie Yu was still looking at the best route recommended on his phone map.
Century City was a popular place, and if there was any class reunion or gathering, it would usually be held there.
Inside, there was everything, but the most famous were the themed private rooms with viewing equipment. However, this was probably the first time someone had used this viewing equipment to watch something like the birth of Einstein.
Xie Yu was too lazy to transfer, so he took a direct bus.
He wore a mask that covered most of his face and sat in the back, looking down at the game private messages sent by the Trivia King.
[Trivia King]: To be honest, my friend, you still have a chance to back out.
[Trivia King]: Even if I give you three questions, you still won't win.
[jsdhwdmax]: Ha.
Half an hour later, the Trivia King sent another message.
[Trivia King]: I'm here at the entrance of Century City.
Feeling a bit drowsy, Xie Yu typed with his eyes half-closed. He thought to himself, what's the use of you being here, who knows which one you are.
So he sent over another message, asking: What are you wearing today? Give me some distinguishing features.
[Trivia King]: What I'm wearing doesn't matter. I'm the most handsome one here.
