“You two! The school explicitly forbids puppy love1早戀 (zǎo liàn): lit. early love; (often derogatory) to date at a too early age; puppy love; adolescent love., yet you still dare to skip class and have a secret meeting2私會 (sī huì): (literary) to rendezvous with one’s lover; to have a secret date; private meeting; a private date between a man and a woman. in the corner of the schoolyard!” Director Zhao stood behind his desk, pointing at the two of them and scolding them.
The term ‘secret meeting’ was used so vividly and descriptively. Qin Cheng, who had been pretending that nothing was wrong these past two days, felt guilty and interrupted hurriedly: “Director, we’re completely innocent. There’s absolutely no puppy love!”
“Everyone who comes here says so. Are you still trying to fool me?” Director Zhao glared at them. “Qin Cheng, you tell me, you’re always up to no good, but I usually turn a blind eye, but now you want to be in a homosexual relationship with an Alpha! Do you really think that school rules are dead?”
The words ‘homosexual relationship’ were even harsher than ‘secret meeting’. Qin Cheng was completely stunned, his brain short-circuited for about ten seconds before he turned to look at Jian Heng, his meaning clear: You, the person involved, say something.
The person involved gave him a look, and his mouth was sealed shut.
“Director Zhao, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can’t talk indiscriminately,” Jian Heng was as quiet as a statue. Qin Cheng was forced to explain alone, with innocent eyes and a sincere tone, “When have I had a relationship since I was a first year in high school? In order to abide by school rules, I have broken the hearts of many Omegas and let them embark on the bright road of learning. You can’t lose your conscience when you speak.”
“So you won’t break Alpha’s heart and engage in homosexuality?” Director Zhao was beside himself in anger and picked up the phone to call Lao Xu.
“Fu…” Qin Cheng laughed angrily. He tilted his head to complain to Jian Heng, lowering his voice, and said, “This brain circuit is so broken that it’s out of the galaxy, isn’t it!”
There was an inexplicable emotion in Jian Heng’s eyes. He didn’t express any opinion.
Director Zhao’s voice was so loud that the door frame shook: “Teacher Xu, come here. Who else could it be? Qin Cheng is having a homosexual affair with that new kid in your class! Misunderstanding? I caught them hugging each other!”
Qin Cheng leaned towards Jian Heng and cupped his hand to his ear, whispering: “When Lao Xu comes here, we will protect you together. This is a big misunderstanding, and I will definitely not let you bear the punishment.”
“What are you talking about?!” Director Zhao looked at the two of them and glared, “Both of you, reflect on yourselves! You’ll get leniency if you confess3坦白從寬 (tǎn bái cóng kuān): tell the truth and you will receive a lighter sentence; leniency for confession. It is usually used by police or lawyers to address criminals. to your teacher later!”
Qin Cheng stood upright and was not afraid of a slanted shadow, so he stood forward to block Jian Heng without a care in the world.
It’s not just a day or two that Director Zhao has not been happy with him. He wouldn’t catch people like Zhao Hai, who was fighting all day long but whose family would pay tens of thousands of yuan, but he always wanted to find fault4小辮子 (xiǎo biàn zi): short braid; pigtail; (figurative) a shortcoming, or evidence of wrongdoing, that can be seized upon by others; vulnerable point; handle. with Qin Cheng, who was usually as quiet as air, and expel him.
Qin Cheng has nothing else to say to this kind of person except □□ arrogant idler.
Qin Cheng is not afraid of punishment, but Jian Heng is a good student. He doesn’t want Jian Heng to take the blame because of him. What’s more, they are really • pure in mind and body. More real than pearls5比珍珠還真 (bǐ zhēn zhū huán zhēn): lit. more real than pearls; fig. absolutely true. T/N: According to the netizens, this [珍 (zhēn), precious thing; treasure] in [珍珠 (zhēn zhū), pearl] is a homonym of [真 (zhēn), real], so it may have the meanings of exaggeration and sarcasm. [珍珠 (zhēn zhū), pearl] is also called [真珠 (zhēn zhū), pearl] in ancient times..
Two minutes later, Lao Xu rushed in angrily, looking at Qin Cheng with eyes that almost burst into flames.
Qin Cheng raised his hand very sensibly, with an innocent look on his face: “Teacher, I’m not dating anyone.”
“You shut up!” Lao Xu, who was suffering from PTSD because of him, greeted the director first, then turned around and asked Jian Heng with a concerned look on her face, “What’s going on? Why didn’t you go to class after training? How come you’re still, still hugging each other?”
Both of them were students of her own class. She may not know Jian Heng well yet, but Lao Xu knew exactly what Qin Cheng was like.
Usually, when chatting and joking, he was imagining a bright future with his Omega girlfriend, how could he suddenly date Jian Heng?
There must be a misunderstanding.
Jian Heng tugged the back of Qin Cheng’s T-shirt and stood in front of him, his demeanor calm: “Qin Cheng said he didn’t do well in the math test, so I comforted him.”
Qin Cheng: “…”
Lao Xu: “…”
Director Zhao: “…Do you take me for a fool?! Qin Cheng is studying!!”
Qin Cheng blinked. There was nothing wrong with what he said. He really did not do well on the math test. In terms of comforting, he was actually comforting Jian Heng at that time… a fucking genius at stitching the story together!
Lao Xu seized the opportunity and nodded in agreement: “Yes, Director Zhao, you may not know yet, but Jian Heng is a very enthusiastic child, and he is usually very concerned about the psychological conditions of his classmates. Because of this, I specially asked him to help Qin Cheng study, and Qin Cheng helped him adapt to the new environment. The two of them made progress together, which was also a new teaching method.”
Qin Cheng fought back a smile. Lao Xu’s reaction was also freaking awesome; also, Jian Heng is particularly enthusiastic.
If not for so many things that happened later and the two of them became acquainted, Jian Heng wouldn’t have looked at him twice even if he got six zeros on the test.
Director Zhao pointed at Jian Heng with a don’t-you-try-to-deceive-me look on his face. When he got angry, his brain was confused and he started to blurt out anything that popped out of his head: “On the second day of the school year, you also reported Qin Cheng. You look like a decent person, but I didn’t expect you to be in cahoots with him so quickly! None of you two are good——”
“Fuck,” Qin Cheng was unhappy. It’s fine if he just talks about him. He was not a good person to begin with. But what did he say about Jian Heng? He was a school tyrant who was pure in mind and body. Director Zhao really talks nonsense without thinking, not afraid of spraining his tongue. He frowned and asked, his tone displeased: “Director, what do you mean by ‘in cahoots’? Please explain carefully, I don’t understand.”
Director Zhao choked.
“Qin Cheng!” Lao Xu knew his temper all too well. Knowing that this was a stab in the heart, she quickly stopped him and said, “You and Jian Heng go outside and wait while I explain to the director.”
Qin Cheng did not move, his eyes were still fixed on Director Zhao. He would not give up until he had an explanation.
“It’s no use glaring at me!” Director Zhao felt his hair stand on end from a student’s stare, and he had no place to put his old face due to shame. He yelled, trying to appear tough but feeling weak inside, “If you’ve got the guts, come and fight me! You’re just a good-for-nothing student! I don’t see you amounting to anything. You and your friends are all the same——”
“I——” Qin Cheng stepped forward and was about to start a fight.
Jian Heng grabbed him and dragged him back, then whispered in his ear: “Don’t do anything.”
“You two, roll out of here!” Director Zhao spoke so harshly that he involuntarily took two steps back.
“I’m fucking going to barren roll out of here!” Qin Cheng looked at Director Zhao. Jian Heng’s hand was across his chest, so he didn’t move anymore, “Don’t fucking beep here if you don’t have evidence, and don’t fucking point fingers at Jian Heng when you’re accepting bribe until your hands cramped!”
Director Zhao froze.
Lao Xu winked at Jian Heng and asked him to take Qin Cheng out quickly. This guy was someone who could lead most of the Fifth High School to follow him in the uprising if he was really pissed off. If something really happened, even the principal would have to appease him.
Director Zhao’s old face was smashed to pieces by the scolding, and his temper also flared up: “I want to see what you can do to me! You’re still pretending to be a big shot with your family’s conditions! Once you enter society, you’ll have to pretend to be helpless and miserable6裝孫子 (zhuāng sūn zi): lit. pretend to be a grandson; (dialectal, colloquial) to pretend to be pitiful; to act helpless and miserable; to pretend to be helpless and miserable; refers to the facial expression when flattering others. Most of them refer to disgusting expressions and words when asking others to do something or when a subordinate is trying to flatter his superior.! You deserve it, little brat7小兔崽子 (xiǎo tù zǎi zi): (colloquial, derogatory, offensive) little brat; bastard.——”
“Bang——!”
The desk was kicked and cracked. It rushed forward half a meter and hit Director Zhao’s leg. He took several steps back and fell to the ground, clutching his waist and wailing.
Jian Heng retracted his feet, looked at him condescendingly, and lowered his voice: “Can you speak human words now?”
Director Zhao crawled on the ground in embarrassment several times without getting up. Hissing sounds kept coming from his mouth, and his glasses flew out and shattered all over the place.
Lao Xu didn’t expect that this child, Jian Heng, was even fiercer than Qin Cheng. She didn’t watch him closely enough and he went for it. She was so frightened that she quickly helped the director up, while still trying to save the students: “Are you okay? Alas, you cannot let the leader hear what you said. In the last meeting, the higher-ups strictly prohibited insulting students. If this gets reported to the Education Bureau…”
Jian Heng turned his head: “Did you record it?”
Qin Cheng was also shocked by his actions for a few seconds. Now he reacted and immediately pointed to the corner of the room: “There is surveillance.”
Holy shit. The corners of Qin Cheng’s mouth crazily rose up, and there was a whirlwind of maniacal laughter roaring in his heart. Jian-ge is so wild!
So handsome! So cool! It’s simply beyond compare!
Jian Heng didn’t take another look at Director Zhao and walked to his side: “Let’s go, go to the monitoring room.”
Qin Cheng deliberately asked: “What are you going for, Jian-ge?”
Jian Heng glanced at him with a slight smile in his eyes. He also deliberately raised his voice and said: “To find evidence and report it to the Education Bureau.”
Qin Cheng let out a loud ‘Ah’: “Then we must hurry up.”
Director Zhao almost fainted from lack of breath.
Lao Xu said a few words meaningfully and watched the student leave.
Qin Cheng led Jian Heng straight to the monitoring room. The teacher on duty must have gone to the bathroom, as there was no one inside.
Qin Cheng is proficient in all kinds of electronic equipment, just like playing house. He easily brings up today’s surveillance footage. Jian Heng handed him a USB drive, he took it and made a backup.
When he was about to turn off the computer and leave, Qin Cheng hesitated for a moment and did not pull out the USB flash drive. He then proceeded to save all the recent surveillance footage.
Jian Heng glanced at him but said nothing. Looking at his expression, Qin Cheng knew that he understood what he was going to do.
This is called reading each other’s mind.
The two of them were called away by the principal as soon as they returned to class.
Qin Cheng’s position in Fifth High School cannot be simply summed up in an ordinary sentence. Compared to those who are loud and boisterous, provoking cats and dogs, he is the type who is quiet and unassuming most of the time, but at the critical moment, he can rally everyone with a single call. This is what makes him the most troublesome for the school.
Moving him is basically equivalent to moving half of the students in the school. Young people are full of blood and passion, and they value loyalty above all else. They are not easily appeased by the school authorities.
Therefore, it is crucial to work hard to establish a good relationship with the leader of this group of rebellious teenagers.
The principal poured a cup of tea for both of them in the office, and his tone was kind: “I have reprimanded Director Zhao. He is getting old and his actions are extreme. I hope——”
“No forgiveness,” Qin Cheng interrupted him.
There’s no way to get along. Why didn’t he think of the consequences when he opened his mouth to speak? Now he come to sell his bitterness, it’s too late.
Qin Cheng took the teacup and put it in front of Jian Heng. He didn’t look at the principal and said as if no one else was watching: “Is this the same as the one at your house?”
Jian Heng took it and smelled it, “Um, Keemun8祁門紅 (qí mén hóng): lit. Qimen red (tea). Keemun is a famous Chinese black tea. First produced in the late 19th century, it quickly became popular in the West and is still used for a number of classic blends. It is a light tea with characteristic stone fruit and slightly smoky notes in the aroma and a gentle, malty, non-astringent taste reminiscent of unsweetened cocoa. Keemun is said to have floral aromas and wooden notes. 
.”
Qin Cheng also leaned over and smelled it, “It’s quite fragrant. Brew a cup for me to taste when we get home.”
Jian Heng put down the teacup and said, “Last time I asked you to drink it, you said it was bitter and refused to drink it.”
Qin Cheng shook his head and knocked on the teacup: “Alas, I regret it.”
As soon as the subject changed, Qin Cheng looked at the principal who had been standing aside for a long time, and smiled: “This thing is not cheap, the principal is really generous.”
The principal choked, then waved his hand: “It’s cheap, it’s cheap, it’s not——”
Qin Cheng looked at Jian Heng with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Jian Heng understood, glanced at the teacup, and said: “It’s not cheap.”
The principal’s fake smile froze on his face: “…”
“Ahem,” he is the principal of a school after all. The next second he laughed again and said kindly, “Teacher knows that you are all good children. Teacher Xu just brought over the monthly exam papers, and the scores are all very good. Principal believes that you are studying together.”
Qin Cheng shrugged: “Otherwise? What are we doing together?”
The principal laughed and said: “Director Zhao has misunderstood. The school has been busy with sports meets recently, and he has also worked hard. You guys should be more understanding.”
The principal looked at Jian Heng: “You are a good boy. You just acted impulsively. Go back and apologize to Director Zhao——”
“Fu——” Qin Cheng was about to say it when Jian Heng stopped him.
“He works hard, so he can insult the students casually,” Jian Heng glanced over indifferently, full of oppression, “Then Qin Cheng and I are also working very hard. We study hard, so we want to hit people. Can Director Zhao be more understanding?”
If it wasn’t for the wrong occasion, Qin Cheng would definitely want to give him a whistle. The school tyrant was freaking awesome! Full marks for logic!
The principal laughed dryly: “Actually, there’s no need to apologize. I just said that he is too stubborn. I’ll try to persuade him later.”
In a turn of phrase, the principal asked: “I heard that you went to the monitoring room?”
“Monitoring room?” Qin Cheng turned his head to look at Jian Heng with an innocent face, “What monitoring room?”
Jian Heng raised his eyebrows and concurred: “I don’t know.”
Principal: “…”
The author has something to say:
The author, who had a bye this week and was not on the list, knelt humbly on the ground, holding a big teapot filled with sugar by the little darlings in his hands, speechless and with tears in his eyes: Qin-ge and Jian-ge bit each other’s gland, and a lot of people were asking, the author didn’t know to fix it. The author, a lifelong solo (crying.jpg), especially went to find his mother, who is about the same height, to try it out, it’s possible! Yay! Everyone just tries to use your imagination~ Mwah mwah mwah~
There are also nineteen chapters with bugs, which have been corrected. I stayed up late writing until the second half of the night and my head was dizzy, it was my negligence, thank you little darlings for catching the bugs!

The silly9沙雕 (shā diāo): sand sculpture; (neologism, Internet slang, humorous or offensive) Alternative form of 傻屌 (shǎdiǎo, “idiot; dickhead; silly”); generally used humorously to describe weird or stupid but funny behaviors or lame jokes, as with a lot of memes; no logic but very interesting. It is a homophone of another more vulgar term 傻屌, which literally means silly dick. Instead of 傻屌, netizens modified it to 沙雕 so that it looks less vulgar when written out. The meaning also became less offensive and now generally refers to a person who is or a movie/drama/literature that is funny and humorous. author likes it very much. I like the cover of this series as much as I like the big teapot! Don’t say it’s ugly, the author will be heartbroken!
【Emphasis added: Unless there are super, super, super rare circumstances, the silly author will update daily! Daily updates! Daily updates!!! Even if there is an accident and there is no update at 18:00:00, it will be updated daily later!!!】
Finally, please let the author, who has had a bye, bawl his eyes out as much as he wants: Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu my tears fill the big teapot…
Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or nourished me with nutrient solutions during the period from 2020-04-29 17:13:56~2020-04-30 20:43:39~
