There are usually no surprises in English class. Whether the bell rings or not has no effect on Yu Chengsong. He leans against the wall and plays with his mobile phone, drinking yogurt while feeling the burning gaze of his deskmate, who occasionally looks at him.
He never realized it before, but today this yogurt tastes better and better the more he drinks it. It’s really delicious.
Their English teacher was a female alpha with a straightforward personality. When she saw a group of sickly-looking students, she knocked on the podium and said, “Hey, hey, hey, did I see the time wrong? Why are you still sleepy in the second class?”
Someone answered weakly, “Because the last class was biology…”
No one dares to sleep in biology class unless they want to die.
The English teacher laughed angrily: “Didn’t you guys sleep last night? The school reserved all the self-study classes for you guys. It should be enough to finish the homework. Why are you guys still staying up late and feeling sleepy? Did you guys waste time playing games or having a puppy love? Come on, Yu Chengsong, talk to the teacher.”
This kind of situation where the teacher suddenly brings justice upon a particularly outstanding student in the class has the effect of making the students instantly sober up and start to watch the show with greater enthusiasm.
The English teacher’s words made the whole class seem to be electrified, and they all turned their heads to look at the last row near the door.
Yu Chengsong didn’t even have time to take the yogurt out of his mouth, his hand was still tapping the screen of his mobile phone. He was stunned for a moment after hearing the words and raised his hand: “You continue, I won’t continue anymore.”
There was a low laugh in the class.
After Yu Chengsong finished speaking, he unplugged his earphones, stuffed his phone into the desk, looked at the blackboard, and looked like a model student.
When the English teacher looked at him, she saw the new transfer student. She said, “Aiyo!” and smiled. “You’re the new transfer student, right? You look like an honest kid. You and Yu Chengsong are so pleasing to the eyes when sitting together. Fortunately, Mr. Li put you two in the back; otherwise, the whole class won’t have to attend the class because they can’t get enough of watching the two of you.”
Yu Chengsong glanced to the side and saw Yin Gu smiling at the English teacher. That expression was just right, with a bit more flattery and a bit less arrogance—just the right amount of humility and courtesy.
I will be the first to disagree if Beijing Film Academy will not admit you to the college entrance examination next year.
“Your name is Yin Gu, right? If you have any questions, feel free to come to my office and ask me. Yu Chengsong knows where I am.” the English teacher said. “Okay, let’s start class!”
“Stand up!”
“Hello——Tea——cher——”
The English teacher lectured very quickly and decisively, she jumped to the next question in the blink of an eye. Yu Chengsong was too lazy to listen, but he couldn’t play with his cell phone either. He was so bored that he felt like he would become hairy soon.
In the past, at times like this, he would stare blankly at the empty tables and chairs beside him to pass the time. Now, he habitually looked in the direction of Yin Gu.
In fact, he just wanted to find a target to stare at, but after a while, he couldn’t help but find that this person really didn’t listen to the class.
It looked like he was concentrating on looking at the blackboard, but based on his experience as a fellow academic master, Yin Gu had nothing in his eyes and was daydreaming, and he went quite far away too.
It is similar to his current behavior, but Yin Gu’s target for staring blankly is the blackboard.
I just want you to get along well with your deskmate, that is a good kid…
Lao Li’s words flashed through his mind, and Yu Chengsong felt that he was a good boy if he rounded it off.
How fresh ah! Director Han will be moved to tears if he found out about it.
Yu Chengsong felt that his observation was quite covert. He didn’t even turn his head, and his peripheral vision fell on Yin Gu from time to time. But after a few minutes, Yin Gu suddenly turned his head and asked him what was wrong with his gaze.
This sharp…?
“What level of alpha are you?” Yu Chengsong asked.
As soon as he said this, he realized that this question was not appropriate. The privacy of level can be big or small for alphas, just like some people don’t mind spreading the word that I am 18cm while others don’t want to say that I’m like an embroidery needle…
It was rude to ask this question when they had only known each other for a few hours.
Yu Chengsong knew that he should say, “I was just kidding, just listen to the class,” to change the subject and make both of them less embarrassed.
But he didn’t want to, ai, Father just wanted to know.
Looking at Yin Gu’s slightly widened phoenix eyes, Yu Chengsong grinned. He could not smell the blood on Yin Gu’s body at all now, but he had a hunch that that was not real blood but Yin Gu’s pheromone.
Blood pheromone? Too rare.
He wanted to make sure.
As for whether Yin Gu would be angry or not, it was not within his consideration.
Lao Li is right. He is not without emotional intelligence. He is just too lazy to use it…
If you don’t think that I’m being blunt, and I also won’t think that you’re being too harsh—this is Yu Chengsong’s way of doing things.
Do whatever makes you happy, it’s simple and deserves a beating.
Yin Gu’s reaction was somewhat within Yu Chengsong’s expectations. He showed no anger at all, and the smile on his face was still perfectly fixed. He glanced at the empty yogurt bag he threw on the table and softly said—
“You guess.”
Yu Chengsong narrowed his eyes.
People are like this. The more you don’t tell me, the more I want to know. The rebellious psychology makes him feel like there is a kitten scratching his heart, and he will feel uncomfortable if he can’t figure it out.
He has always been very good to himself. He would do whatever he had in mind and would never sacrifice his desires.
Yu Chengsong thought for a moment, took out the only remaining piece of Wangzai milk candy from his pocket, put it on Yin Gu’s desk, and knocked on it. “Tell me, I have gone bankrupt.”
Yin Gu took the candy, looked at it carefully, and then turned his head to look at him.
Yu Chengsong also looked at him.
After a while, Yu Chengsong leaned over, put his ear close to his mouth, and heard the man speak in a pleasant voice.
“The level is…”
Yu Chengsong pricked up his ears.
“My Honor of Kings has 26 stars, 20 yuan per round, I can carry you, a deskmate can get 20% off.”
The—f*ck—？
Yu Chengsong resisted the urge to slap him in the face with the yogurt bag. He took a deep breath, leaned back in his seat, and said with a fake smile, “Nevermind, my family is poor, and I prefer to be self-reliant.”
Yin Gu curled the corners of his lips and nodded, with an expression that said, I understand you.
Yu Chengsong responded with a fake smile. If this bastard was a good kid, he would eat sh*t on live.
F*ck.
In just one day, Yu Chengsong completed the 3D reshaping of his deskmate’s impression, starting with the English teacher. Every teacher who came into the class would praise Yin Gu’s smiling face for three or two minutes, and if they met a teacher with a bad temper, they would also say a few words to criticize him as well.
Yu Chengsong had a f*cking feeling that he was the only one in the world who knew what kind of bird this is, but he couldn’t tell anyone.
As a key high school, No. 1 Middle School also has evening self-study classes, but they are very voluntary. When the school bell rings, the ratio of those who leave to those who stay is about two to three.
Yu Chengsong is within that “two.”
It is said that their school was extremely poor when it was founded, and the geographical location chosen was not very good, being located at the very edge of Xiyuan City and displaying the dilapidated and unruly nature of the urban-rural fringe.
Three steps out of the school gate, all kinds of carts selling cold noodles, fried skewers, and fried rice are pushed in front of them one after another. Not to mention the hygiene, the strong smell of seasoning and oil smoke alone would make the top alpha with a keen sense of smell frown.
Yu Chengsong stretched out his long legs and strode out of the disaster area quickly. He zipped up his sportswear to his chin, and the black corners of his clothes made his face look particularly white.
It was still cold in the north in March, and the wind made his face hurt. He took out his mobile phone and picked out a soothing piece of music, then put on his headphones and opened unread messages on WeChat.
Zheyu: I haven’t seen you for a week, have you missed me ah?
Zheyu: Enchanting
Is a good person: I miss you till my heart and liver are shattered already. Will you come to the morning class tomorrow, good boy?
Is a good person: Aiya, so cool
Zheyu: You must come ah! Give Father a greeting! By the way, let’s see if my mother will appear.
Zhe Yuren: Dazzle you with my cuteness
Yu Chengsong smiled and said, “This idiot.”
A good person: Come on, Father has prepared a surprise for you.
Zheyu: I know about this matter. Are you referring to the transfer student? According to Dayu, he looks pretty good, and is he your deskmate?
Zheyu: Hey? Hey?
Zheyu: Where have you gone?
Zheyu: This is not a surprise you gave me, right? My father? Reply to the message ah?
Yu Chengsong looked at his phone’s black screen and deeply felt that this thing was just a power bank companion, unable to hold out even for a day, a waste.
But many times, you have to allow waste to exist. It is like a benchmark that highlights how useful you are or that someone can be so useless, bringing infinite happiness to your life.
For example, little boy Yu Chengdi.
Yu Chengsong pushed open the door and saw his unfortunate brother half-squatting at the door to change his shoes in an awkward manner. His school uniform trouser legs were rolled up, his knees were red and swollen, and they were covered with dirt. The school was over a long time ago, and he still hadn’t taken care of them.
The little cripple has already had a problem with his legs. This is just adding insult to injury.
He already fell like this and still wanted to go out. How could he, an elder brother, not feel bad for him?
“Hey.” Yu Chengsong’s hoarse voice couldn’t hide his full smile. He stretched out his hand to hold Yu Chengdi’s head and laughed so hard that his eyes almost closed. He laughed mercilessly and said, “Who is this? Who is this unlucky child? How can such a loser who can’t fight back after being bullied like this enter our house? Is there no one to take care of him? Is there anyone? Ah?”
“Don’t touch me!” Yu Chengdi slapped his hand away, like a wounded hedgehog, staring at his elder brother with red eyes, full of disgust. “I don’t need you to despise me!”
“Oh.” Yu Chengsong leaned against the door, nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand, and poked his shoulder, almost making his unlucky brother fall. “I didn’t even say you need ah, why are you still angry? Is Gege not good to you?”
Yu Chengdi is 10 years old this year. Malnutrition makes him half a meter shorter than his brother. Even if he tried his best, he couldn’t move a hair of Yu Chengsong. He could only glare at him fiercely and grit his teeth. “Yu Chengsong, you are so annoying! You are more annoying than her!”
When he grows up and differentiates into an alpha, he will definitely trample Yu Chengsong and that brat under his feet!
“You think of me this highly? I’m so touched.” Yu Chengsong raising his eyebrows. “I’ll give you a ghost story as a reward tonight. Do you want to hear The Ring or The Village Corpse?”
Yu Chengdi was afraid of ghosts. He trembled with fear just hearing the name. Looking at the bright smile on his brother’s face, he felt that it was scarier than the evil ghosts crawling out of the TV. He stood up and ran to his bedroom without even changing his shoes, as if a man-eating beast were following him.
“Ai, why are you running? If you don’t like it, Ge will tell you something else. Do you like to listen to Kayako ah? She’s a beautiful girl who likes to crawl out of your bed.” The flood beast followed without any consciousness, relying on his long legs. Yu Chengdi ran with a limp and looked very embarrassed, while Yu Chengsong followed leisurely behind.
“Ah—”
Their mom suddenly pushed the door open and knocked Yu Chengdi out. Yu Chengsong reached out to catch him in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.
“Sloppy! Didn’t I ask you to buy milk tea for Yuanyuan? Why haven’t you left yet? Are your legs lame or broken? I’m asking you! Asking you ah! You useless thing!”
The hostess of the house was wearing pink silk pajamas that were not suitable for the season. They did not fit in with the cold air in the house, as the heating had just been turned off. She was too thin to support the pajamas, it’s like skin supported by a skeleton.
Her oval face was so thin that her eye sockets were sunken, and her lips were purple. She stared at her second son’s face with a distorted expression and slapped him. “Useless thing! You don’t want to buy it? You don’t want to give it to Yuanyuan to drink?”
No matter how much he hated her and how much he wanted her to disappear, Yu Chengdi dared not move at all when facing his angry mother. He could only open his eyes wide and watch in horror as those hands approached little by little, as if the pain and lesson had come in advance, making him tremble with pain.
The fear is deeply rooted in his young heart and can never be removed or erased in this lifetime.
A bigger hand grabbed his collar and, like a hero, pulled him away from the quagmire of fear.
His back hit his eldest brother Yu Chengsong’s leg, which hurt a little.
Yu Chengdi gritted his teeth, moved his back slightly, and denied it in his heart.
Yu Chengsong is always this careless, there is no hero like him.
“Our Yuanyuan wants to drink milk tea?” Yu Chengsong pressed Yu Chengdi’s head with one hand and blocked his mother’s slap with the other hand. The back of his hand turned red instantly. He smiled at his mother with a playful light in his eyes.
“Elder Brother will buy it. It will be cold by the time his second brother, that lame little thing, gets it back. Don’t worry, Elder Brother will definitely not poison it. Yuanyuan will live a long life and will never be like that person… right, mom?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chengdi started shaking again.
How can there be such a hero who would seek death?
Their mother’s face turned from red to purple and then to white. Finally, she abruptly withdrew her hand. Her voice was hoarse after being sharp, with undisguised decadence and hatred: “Yuanyuan wants to drink milk tea from the new store on Dongchuan Street. Buy it back quickly.”
“Oh, I can’t guarantee that.” Yu Chengsong took off his schoolbag and hung it around Yu Chengdi’s neck, patting his pale face. “Put it in my room.”
After saying that, he ignored his mother’s ugly expression and walked out the door.
